These guys are having sex with people they would not otherwise have sex with if they weren’t being paid. Occasionally, I would guess that a gay provider is hired by someone that he really finds attractive, but that would be the exception. So, I agree. Sexual orientation isn’t really important. Performance is.

I think he meant History of Massage

Loud retching si commonly heard down the hallway. Screaming less common, but it all comes down to people’s ability to cope with what they are suffering through. Some people are very stoic. Some have no coping mechanisms and most are somewhere in between.

Marijuana is perhaps the most engineered plant in history. It has been selectively grown to increase the THC and decrease the CBD level in the plants. It is thought that this significant imbalance of very high THC to very low CBD levels increases the risk of hyper emesis associated with chronic use of marijuana. The marijuana you get today is not the marijuana that was available in the 70s and 80s smoking or edibles can cause this This condition is extremely common. It was first reported in Australia, and everybody shook their head when we initially heard about it. Within a year it was seen basically throughout the western world. It is seen virtually every day in emergency departments. Never heard the term scromit

Poseidon had not shown up in my feed yet. I asked for his picture, and I agree. He is a 1st class hunk.

The cost of the massages at Titan are very high. I asked them on Line if this price includes the tip and they said that the minimum tip is 300 Baht. The guys are okay, but Klover and History of Massage has (in my opinion) more handsome and muscular guys. If I was looking for a good massage, I would probably go to Prime that is close enough. If I was looking for extras, I would probably just go to Arena for a sure bet. Senso isn’t far either.

What do you call someone who looks in one direction on a one way street? An optimist.

Now, now. Australians contribute a great deal of colorful terms and phrases to the English language.

That is the same thing all over the world unfortunately, including in the US. Language acquisition is how we gain the ability to speak, by…you guessed it, speaking. But most school based instruction is vocabulary, grammar, verb conjugation. You learned all of that from your family before you were able to read. Language acquisition is really interesting.

I thought that AirBnB is legal in Thailand if the stay is more than 30 days.

If you are taking the Singapore airline flight that leaves San Francisco at 8:15 PM and lands in Singapore at 5:45 AM, I wouldn’t worry about the transfer at all. If for some reason you can’t make that flight, there are a ton of flights throughout the day that will get you from SIN to BKK and Singapore Airlines would just put you on one of those. However, if you are going to take the Singapore airline flight that leaves San Francisco at 9:40 AM and lands in Singapore at 7 PM in the evening, that flight could create more difficulties if you are running late because you may be delayed until the next morning for a flight to Bangkok. I think that it is unlikely that you are looking at taking this flight, since you have to get to SFO from DEN. If you misconnect because of the fault of the airline, they will put you on the next flight. Sometimes they will also put you up in a hotel if it is an overnight delay but I would not count on that.

Pong is right. If it is all on Singapore or your bags are checked through to BKK, you will be fine. Singapore is very efficient .

I saw that there was a top up app. Does that require a Thai bank account?

A message is being sent. I did watch the video of the otot raid. I do wonder about what they can charge without actual proof of specific actions. It may not matter in Malaysia, but I think that a case against these guys would be hard to prove without catching someone doing something sexual in front of the police.

What was @vinapu saying about expectations….? LOL

To some degree I think that it is a question of terminology and cultural habits. The massage shop has their charge for the massage. The provider may or may not get paid something from that. The bar has an off fee. I do not think that the provider gets paid from the off fee. The payment to the provider is called a tip, but it is really the amount that the provider charges for his services. There is also this term, minimum tip. But that is also a misnomer as vinapu has explained in the past. The minimum tip is what the provider expects to be paid for his services. So the actual tip is whatever you decide to give above and beyond the amount that the provider charges for his services. You can give whatever you want, but in most contexts (restaurant, taxi, haircut, etc) a 20% tip would be a large tip. If you didn’t really care for the provider’s service, you pay the agreed upon provider service charge and move on. No tip necessary. Americans tip excessively. That is the cultural part of this. The first world vs third world dynamic also plays into this, particularly if you have a fondness for the provider. Some will give more money to the waiter, taxi driver, massage guy or escort, because they think that the provider could use the money and the client has the money to give.

Jey Spa and Glam are not under the same ownership. I always thought they were because so many of the guys work at both. I was asking if my new Glam crush, Oak, also worked at Jey Spa and they told me that the two shops are not connected..

This never occurred to me, but this is an excellent idea. I think I may do this myself.

Proximity to greatness is not the same thing as greatness. 😉

I have friends on a gay cruise that is going from Hong Kong to Bangkok right now. They’ve done several of these. I haven’t done any yet.

I have felt this way for decades. I don’t see any reason for me to be advertising for somebody’s company without getting paid for it. I make exceptions for sports teams that I cheer for or something like that. I also don’t wear anything that advertises alcohol or cigarettes since I don’t smoke or drink.

Very useful report for me.

I use Nord VPN

This driver also gave this passenger many opportunities to stop and he refused. I don’t think the driver would have objected to hands at the waist or hips if the hands stayed there.
