Moonlight Babe
There is nothing wrong with Babe, but he just does not really do much for me. I do not understand the adoration. Perhaps it is because he seems so out of reach. That is what marketing is all about, I guess

Massage shops on Sutthisan Winitchai Rd.
I wonder if Olddaddy would feel the same about the length of this walk? 🤨

"It could take over a year..."
This investigation could result in different questions being asked. For example, flying in an altitude less than 200 feet in a black hawk helicopter, which would have a certain height which would mean that your landing gear are probably within less than 150 feet of the ground. If you’re complying with this limit, it might be too low particularly at night. It also may be a difficult altitude to maintain. So, if the altitude limitation and the path present their own problems, one could describe this accident as just something waiting to happen. In which case the answer might be that there should be more separation both in time and space between helicopter, traffic and jet traffic. These are the sorts of questions that come up when you are trying to prevent future accidents rather than just trying to assign blame for a particular accident on somebody in particular. The best way to prevent future accidents is through systemic changes that make it harder for a mistake to be made. Just insisting that everyone do better usually results in the same thing happening again and again.

‘Just a little suck on your nipples’?
The nipple markers for chest X-rays help in determining if a shadow on the X-ray is a nodule in the lung or if it is just a nipple shadow.

Trip report Jan/Feb 2025 - Cebu & beyond - Research if an elderly gay retiree can live comfortably in Cebu
I do not have any interest in living as an expat, but I do find this report and the thought that goes into how to evaluate possible destinations very interesting. The adventures and the misadventures. I love to travel, but I like where I live. Keep the stories and the observations coming..

Tourist stabbed after argument over penis size
Perhaps the police should recruit an Indian tourist to wear a gold chain as bait for these 3.

Cartoonist arrested, facing felony charges for having AI child porn
AI generated images can be of real people doing things that they did not in fact do. I think that we are going to see more and more legislation on this. As for nobody being hurt, I am not at all sure of that. Also the consumers of this materiel would be among the most likely people in our society to have abused a child.

Men care Massage
I finally fixed my LINE app. I guess I signed up for it when I was in Thailand, using a North American phone number. Based on something I read today online that is the root of all of my problems. I deleted the app. I reapplied with the North American phone number in North America and it seems to work fine.

A timely 100 million baht theft in Chonburi
Should have spent more money on the safe and less on the watches.

A timely 100 million baht theft in Chonburi
So they were somehow able to get that safe open. Either they crack the safe or somebody gave them the combination. The safe is too small to have been blown open without damaging the watches. I wonder if the watches were insured.

Grindr used to assault and rob gay men in UK
I suspect that this is much more common than we think with many crimes not reported.

'Death Island" mystery persists
The previous article stated that an autopsy was scheduled and that the police were trying to determine a cause of death. Now the police are saying that it is due to heart failure. I suspect that the scheduled autopsy was performed.

Turkish Tourist Bound and Robbed in Pattaya condo
Most tourists do not travel with crypto wallets. So, it seems likely that the attackers knew that he had the crypto in his possession. This also makes me wonder if this guy is really a tourist or if he is in Thailand for other reasons.

Any recent tips for Singapore?
To piggyback, any sexy abhangya massages in Singapore. Last time I was there, I stayed in Little India, but I was not aware of this particular type of massage. I think it would be an interesting experience with or without a sexual component.

Revolvers don’t leave shell casings. They stay in the gun. Commonly used by professional killers.

Hello Atlas, bye bye The One/Tawan
This sounds like market forces at work.

AirAsia flight turns into party zone
I will be sure to avoid this flight.

Atlas bar
Perhaps the owner(s) of Atlas saw an opportunity with the current (mis)management of The One that seems to be alienating customers as many on this forum have attested to. Hopefully people will find Atlas to be more welcoming. That would be better for customers and workers.

Audacity to ask for money
I think that it is more about setting limits and compartmentalizing your life. You give money for a service of some kind. They aren’t seeing you for free. Also, in your home country, I don’t think that you would socialize with guys that you are paying. The paid guys and your regular friends would probably be two social circles that do not mix. Since you are now living in Thailand, even if only part of the year, I would treat it similar to how you would have behaved in your home country. I have not been to Pattaya, yet. However, I think that living away from the scene would be a better idea than living too close. That way, you don’t have to walk past the massage shops and bars when doing your daily errands. It isn’t about being bitter or jaded. Just be clear in your own mind that you don’t give money away for free. That is just the way it is. No need to get angry or worked up or guilty or anxious, etc. That is just the way that it is.

Patpong comings and goings
When I was younger, we would sometimes go to a diner in the middle of the night. Invariably we would eat breakfast after midnight. Haven’t done that since I was in my twenties.

Too gorgeous to be guilty?
We will learn more over time, but I suspect that there is an ugliness going on inside this killer’s head that will overshadow his good looks and cut abs.
