Many straight guys in the business reach this conclusion...It’s difficult to get hard for another guy for some of them.

The guys who are married with kids, etc., and identify as primarily straight, will do a lot if they like you. This includes bottoming.

There are also several popular (with Thais) host bars. Karaoke if you like. There are often very cute student types at your service. 👍

I frequent the massage shops in Sapan Kwai that focus (mostly) on massage. I have several regular guys that I would like to take out to a nearby short-time hotel room for a lot more fun than can be had in their massage shop (no private rooms). Does anyone know of short-time hotels in the Sapan Kwai area?

Try Stars Man Massage - just a 30 second walk from 15M and the same type of guys. Much better facilities. Private rooms available.

Try Green and/or Avarin massage on Surawong. HJ or more is not guaranteed but chances are fairly good. Also, mostly decent massage skills in both places.

Yes, and it also depends upon the policy of the condominium. Condos are increasingly saying no thanks...even for 30 days or longer.

Years ago (decades, actually), I was a frequent visitor to gay saunas in Bangkok with mostly blue collar local Thai clientele. It wasn't uncommon to meet up with Thai guys who liked girls but were after some easy and inexpensive fun at the saunas. These were not gay guys looking to get away from their wives and children. I liked getting to know these straight guys and learning how they end up in gay saunas. Most often their responses focused on being tired of women and their constant demands and nagging - เบื่อผู้หญิง

Nowadays, I take the slower route and use the bus from Suvarnabhumi Airport via the train system To be fair to Mike’s taxi, unsafe drivers are everywhere. Thais have their own ways of calculating and managing risk and safety. That was my one and only bad experience with Mike’s taxi. What put me off them was no response to the feedback I sent. That motivated me to look elsewhere….

Years ago I had one very unsafe driver with Mike's (way too fast). He was very unhappy when I insisted on a safe speed. Mike's doesn't seem to vet their drivers very well. I've not bothered to use them since.

This was my go-to place for several years. Always very cute guys available. Never did check out their shop way out on Sukhumvit after their Soi 8 place closed. Good memories 👍

It's definitely confusing because while the Revene Department has now recreated a way to remit income from abroad tax free for 25 & 26, ongoing discussions continue regarding a shift to taxation of worldwide income. Probably a lot of Internal polical struggle over this issue....

Tax residents - 180 days or greater per calander year. Citizenship not relevant. I wouldn't be surprised to see further changes on tax rules & regulations.

This is exactly 💯 what I do and it works every sngle time..

@reader what is your experience of KMan Spa? Have not been in quite some time. Was thinking of giving it a try again

In the Silom area, I like Green Massage on Suriwong Road 👍

Completely agree. I stopped going to Prime many years ago. When they started having staff dedicated to only timekeeping, I was out of there. There are so many better options nowadays.

In my opinion, the health insurance industry is regulated to heavily favor industry rather than consumers. If you are older and retired, it's probably best to plan on self insuring. There are also very good government hospitals that offer after hours clinics for very reasonable prices. In essence, they function like a private hospital during evening hours. Ramathibodi and Chula are good examples of this. I'm registered and seek health care at both places. Not difficult to do...and a good deal.

You can add a friend by phone number but only if he has that option enabled in his LINE account. I turn this option off as nowadays there are a lot of scammers using LINE.....

Sometimes the straight massage guys will let you give them a blow job......

Totally worth the time & effort if you live in Thailand or spend extended periods of time in-country. If the masseur likes you, more often than not, they'll flex into other ways to please you -

Communicate your displeasure with a non-verbal body language response - totally ignore her, pretend she isn't there. Most of the time, they'll give up and go away. If you engage with them, they'll never go away...

From ChatGPT The newest dengue vaccine available in Thailand is Qdenga®, developed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Approved in 2023, Qdenga® is a live-attenuated recombinant vaccine designed to protect against all four serotypes of the dengue virus. It is suitable for individuals aged 4 to 60 years, regardless of prior dengue infection, eliminating the need for pre-vaccination screening. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Qdenga® offers approximately 80.2% protection against dengue fever and can reduce hospitalization rates by up to 90.4%. The vaccination regimen consists of two doses administered three months apart. Prior to Qdenga®, Dengvaxia® (CYD-TDV), developed by Sanofi Pasteur, was the only dengue vaccine available in Thailand since its approval in 2017. Dengvaxia® is recommended only for individuals aged 6 to 45 years who have had a previous dengue infection, due to safety concerns related to antibody-dependent enhancement in dengue-naive individuals. For more information or to receive the Qdenga® vaccine, you can contact local healthcare providers such as Bangkok Hospital, which offers the new dengue vaccine.

I've had dengue fever twice - and needed hospital both times. It can really knock you down - and not just for several days in the hospital ---> it takes several weeks after the fever breaks to get back to normal health. There is a decent dengue vaccine now available in Thailand 🇹🇭
