FunFifties

3 months to go ..to 2027
And yes when you get to my age .life is a countdown
We had a work colleague die last week found him in the staff toilets 65yo had been working a lot of overtime worked 12'hour shifts the last few days , heart attack in the toilet , was planning to travel when he retired at 67
Dead on the toilet seat
His job is being advertised, next week he will be forgotten

SUCCESS!
Arrived tonight, gates open, no line, worked like a charm, 2 mins. What a change!! Makes such a difference, especially when I was 6 hours late, due to cancellation of Flight from Siem Reap!
Well done Thailand, at last!

Hello, fellow whores and travelers!
After years of reading about the exploits of BlKSuperman, Arabcreamer, NoGagSuckerSF, wetgrip44, floridarob, and many other posters over the years, I have decided to take a trip to the Dominican Republic and finally explore what the Caribbean has to offer in the form of culture and huge dicks! As an avid traveler who has nearly exclusively been going to Brazil for the last five years, I wanted to take a side quest this year and explore the Dominican Republic for about 6 days before I head to Brazil for 3 weeks. I want to share my voyage with this community of like-minded hoes.
Since this is my first time, and I am unfamiliar with the terrain regarding accommodations and guests, etc. I have opted to book with Manny at one of his Airbnbs, where I know certain sexcapades won't be challenged since he will be providing the talent. Manny told me he has a stable of 200, which is hard to believe, but we'll see. Like Mr. NoGagSuckerSF, I have a penchant for throating beautiful Black and Latino boys, even though I am strictly a top. I am hoping to meet up with NoGagSuckerSF so we can both meet some Dominican men to destroy our tonsils, lol. If that sounds like the content you like, stay tuned for my updates on this post.
I will be arriving in the country this Tuesday and hope to provide a detailed trip report for your edification.
If you have any questions about my stay or anything in my upcoming reports, feel free to either reply to this post or DM me.
Yours truly,
BrazilianBoiChaser (BBC)

Japanese canned coffee - in real steel cans! - is full of sugar.
It's to give to give the workers enough energy to survive another boring day at the office!
In Malaysia I drank the black version of Boss, but added some milk.
As for the age difference, it can be a bit of a problem.
I'm acutely aware of how it looks when you see an old guy with someone old enough to be his son. It screams 'prostitute' and the guys are aware of it.
I have 2 young guys on the go here, but wouldn't dare turn up to a social function with them. We'd both feel embarrassed.
I used to stay at the Ambience Hotel in Boyztown. It was a 'gay' hotel but then started accepting heteros and families.
I'll never forget the day I stepped into the elevator with a young guy, only to be confronted with mum, dad and their kids. The looks I got from the parents were withering. I felt sorry for my guy.
I never walk next to my guy on the way to the hotel. He's always following me.

It really depends on how jealous or possessive you plan to be. If you both can agree to keep it fairly open, it could work for both. For younger guys (certainly me in my time) dating upwards is a different way of experiencing the world and understanding what maturity (of mind not of body) means. And now I’m on the older side of the fence, I date or hire younger guys for their energy, curiosity and of course their insatiable sexual appetite. Only within 10-15 years max so the age gap isn’t too visibly wide when we go out together.

He’s a lot of fun for sure. But yeah, like I said even him I had that conversation that I want him to find someone that makes him happy. When you’re in your 20s like he is, it’s your time to have fun and explore the world and all the possibilities. I don’t want him saving a spot for some old geezer like me who still hasn’t decided where or when he’s going to be back.
I’ve had a couple situations similar to this when I was in Colombia. Two of the guys I would date if I lived there. One was just pure animalistic fun lol. But I’m still in touch with all three. One in particular I still converse with pretty much every day. Another teacher by the way. But I never ask if he’s met anyone and I certainly don’t bring up guys I’ve met.

The only one that that conversation has happened with is this new one. The Japanese teacher is a sweet guy, but his English is really limited. It’s not like we have that soulmate thing going on. 😉 the second one lives in Cambodia so no that was never really a discussion. He was just visiting Bangkok. We’re still in touch on social though. The guy who lives here … yesterday we had the talk that I had with the other two that I hope he finds someone who makes him happy. But he’s probably the one of the three that if he’s single when I do get back here for good I would totally be down to date. My ideal timeframe would be to move here in May or June. But I’ve got a lot to do before that. And I still haven’t decided if it’s going to be Chiang Mai or Bangkok.

Enjoying the travelogue regardless. Seems like you’re too busy with the young hot free men even to review Chiang Mai 7-11. Good to hear your tastes are moving on to “organic” which should please some people 🤣

This thread has ended up as useless as my Koh Samui one. Friday night in Chiang Mai and I'm not going to a bar or getting a massage. Sorry all lol.
Ended up skipping Mae Kampong so I could spend another day with the local. Started off with some bedroom fun here at the Airbnb. We then went up to the rooftop pool and it turned into a photoshoot. I'm a wanna be photographer and he was impressed with my work especially once I showed him color correction. You really can't take bad shots up there anyway... it's a beautiful infinity pool and you've got the mountains in the background and it was sunset.
He loves Italian food, as do I, so we checked out a place near my Airbnb I'd walked by a bunch times. It was good but like last night, nothing worth plugging. Dessert again in my bedroom and he just left... he's working at 6a tomorrow. Two rounds again today - so yeah not at all horny tonight to go to find paid fun... this kid has more than taken care of that need.
So the juggling act begins in 24 hours. Heard from the Bangkok teacher. He is coming after all. Here we go.

I know many in open relationships that function great. You just have to establish those boundaries and keep communication open.
I’m an only child so I like to keep my toys for myself. 😁 if I saw my dude with another guy, I’d wish them the best and move on.
But yeah, there’s certainly been no discussion of exclusivity with the guys on this trip. With all three I’ve actually had the conversation that I hope we keep in touch and they find someone special. Told all threeI’ll be jealous, but happy for them. Meant it.
I feel super lucky to have had their attention on this trip. It was the ego boost I definitely needed as the past 10 years, I’ve pretty much kept myself back in the States. Once you hit your 40s those Grindr notifications start slowing significantly. At least for the guys that are my type. I wish my taste in guys would evolve to guys my age, but I’ve kind of lost hope on that. 😆

Was recently in Agadir – they try for 200 mad but will go down to 50 mad. They were free in the steam room – especially the toned and very hung DILFs
The apps just seemed full of scammers except for a paid Spa/massage which was good.
Found locals had limited understanding of French or English. They mostly used Arabic interspersed with Berber words
I tried the souk but there was little scope for action (unless perhaps you went early in the morning or close to closing)
Had some limited success with the taxi drivers. The best was my return to the airport, guy had religious stuff on the Infotainment screen and was telling me about his wife/young family. I was in the front passenger seat and we were talking about holiday stuff (including me going for Shisha as I was too early for my flight) About halfway to the airport, I noticed he was kneading his crotch area and saw me looking. Just before the airport, he pulls into a back-road and asks if I want Shisha and when I say Yes he unzips. I go down on him, he does nothing else but grunts when shooting his load. He then zips up and proceeds to the airport as if nothing happened. Surprisingly for Morocco, he asks only for the pre-agreed price but I give him double for good service.
All in all, the Moroccans rarely smiled and frequently tried to scam on pricing or with a lack of change.

I’m with you. I didn’t plan to juggle. I’m just not used to having multiple opportunities at my age to have fun with guys who look like this without hitting the ATM. 😆 the one I met this week was on Grindr. I didn’t message him. I just used that tap feature thinking I had no chance with this guy anyway. Then I got the message alert.
Not only do I not like to juggle I try not to even make unpaid connections anyway. If I’m on a trip to a place where I know there’s some naughty fun to be had out at those bars, strip clubs etc usually the last thing I want is someone who’s boyfriend material to derail the debauchery. 😆
But yeah, at my age, being in any way attractive to a quality guy in his 20s is so beyond flattering. When I look in the mirror, there’s not much I see left. I was the hot guy in the club 30 years ago, but that was 30 years ago. I’m trying to embrace good-looking daddy status. 😆

Good Friday morning fellas. Not sure what the day has in store quite yet. Today was the day I planned to go to Mae Kampong. Already booked the round-trip van ride. But my local guy here has the day off and unfortunately, the van is sold out both ways. We looked at other van services and it looks like there’s really nothing practical, except if we were to take a Grab out there which doesn’t seem worth it. I’m sure I’ll have another chance to go again even possibly on this trip. But we’re gonna do something else that we can do together. Maybe that café north of Chiang Mai with all the dogs and elephants that I think @musgrave was referring to early in this thread.
Still haven’t heard from the Bangkok guy. Could be he’s just busy with work. But the last interaction was I think Wednesday when I asked about his flight details. So I might not have to do any juggling after all.

Evening gents... another fail in terms of giving you any good juice on the bars... I think I'm in for the night. Local guy and I spent the day together. He just left for work. Had some fun this morning when he arrived at my Airbnb. We then went out to breakfast at my favorite little American diner and then headed back to Nimman. Checked out their mall (Maya). Nothing like the mega malls in Bangkok, but nicer than most US malls these days. We went to a movie (Avengers) where I started falling asleep in the first hour. How he wasn't yawning and dozy is beyond me. He worked until 6am and was at my place by 10:30. After we came back and grabbed dinner at a little Thai restaurant across the street. Nothing worth plugging but it was ok. And he was my dessert back in the Airbnb. 😜
He wore this yellow zip up jacket today with no shirt underneath. It was driving me wild all day. His chest gets me all, well you know. Most guys are about bulge and so forth. I'm a smile and chest guy. He is well equipped but his rare combo of cute and sexy is what drives me nuts.
So it's been 24 hours since I've heard from Bangkok guy. I'm starting to wonder if he might hang back there this weekend. I'm kind of hoping he does. I'll see him plenty of times when I'm back there those last 2 weeks of the trip.
For your photo of the day, here’s the cute little presentation of the rice at dinner tonight.

I’m way late to the thread, but finding money boys at least in Bangkok was not at all a challenge. As soon as they see the complexion and my age, they pounce. 😆
To bait them a bit more to let them know you’re hitting the ATM on this trip, I’d put visitor as your title.
One other tip use that tap feature. Instead of messaging them just give them a tap that you think they’re hot. If they’re looking for cash, your new message alert will happen pretty quick. But be careful as it’s happened to me a couple times on this trip I’ve actually met guys who were genuinely interested. A nice problem to have, but it can be a problem. 😆

Nobody responded. But it's ok.
Here my takeaways from a trip to Sousse in September. I spent about 6 days there.
You can find what you like, but you need to be focused and patient.
Corniche of Sousse - I was there twice and I walked back and forth - nobody is looking of approaching you even if you are alone. I saw families with small kids and parents walking together and mostly groups of guys and women hanging together. They all just ignore you. I didn't see single guys or girls looking for meetings or even attention. Waste of time.
Antistress hammam. Waste of time. When I came they paired me with a masseur who took me to very private and quiet room. I was excited at first. When I took of my clothes he almost screamed at me to put boxers on. (What? Boxers?) I told him he can cover me with towels but he called for receptionist and I just left. Too much hassle. It didn't promise any fun.
Tej El Hahra Spa. Looks modern, but kinda busy. I had to wait for so long to get both hammam and massage. They let you in, take your money and you end up waiting and waiting. It killed my mood. They have men who work there (and not bad looking) but it feels rushed and they were not interested to play.
Royal Jinene Spa. Things are more interesting here. They have ladies and guy (who acts like receptionist and manager). If you choose a guy he is very nice in massage - very sensual, completely naked and they have enough privacy to feel comfortable. He also offered happy ending.

Le Monaco Spa and Thalasso. They also have women and one young guy working. I visited twice. The lady in hammam is so sweet and you can be naked there with her (she is not beautiful but it was surprising for Tunisia that you can be nude with lady). The young guy is good looking and first time he groped me a lot but still kept me covered because they are afraid of management. During second visit he was more brave and let me suck him and cummed quickly. He kinda looked liked a bottom guy but acted more like a hungry top guy haha.
Other Spas in city are usually with women only and if it's says VIP they will offer happy endings, but I was not interested since ladies are not good looking with too much make up on them.
I rented Hotel (all inclusive) and AirBnB (very close to each other).
On hotel's beach I wore swim thongs every day so all eyes were on me. Guys smiled to me all the time. I had quick sex with 2 staff members. One with a very young guy from kitchen (we connected on Grindr) and he quickly came to hotel 's restroom where we had long kissing session with me sucking him till he cummed. Very juicy encounter. Second guy was from housekeeping and again he looked like a bottom guy but when he got undressed with me he took the lead and basically wanted to fuck me. We had a nice cuddling session with BJ and he cummed on my butt. It was sweet.
Airbnb. Used just a few times to meet two guys from Grindr. One of them was very dominant - he was slim with big cock. The other was a worked from another hotel and he was nice but not very energetic. Probably tired after work.
Facebook: you can find some guys in Facebook from groups like Gay Sousse or Gay Monastir. Also you can add just any guys from those cities and some of them will start asking you questions and eventually can switch to possible sex encounters. But it takes time.

Hope it was helpful. My next trip is to Morocco in a few months.

Hello, I have engaged all the places you mentioned, so I will share some of what I know.
The tip is fixed, it is shown on their website based on the duration etc, you don’t need to tip more. Payment is also collected upfront. Regarding the hygiene factor, in most/all cases, they will request for you to shower before beginning, they will also shower too. You can do it together especially if they go your place.
For more specifics about the places:
olive - communication was via LINE. I had a bad experience where he ghosted me btw. Admin does not speak English, he will use a translator from LINE. You can check the staff schedule on their website which admin will ask you to check before booking. Admin will not check for further/later dates for you.
Gym-k - communication was via email. They can reply to you in English. There was no massage here, the boy will go straight to it, if that is your thing? For the 2 I met, pictures are accurate, although they don’t share face pic beforehand. If you are polite and nice, admin could help you check for their availability beforehand (meaning beyond what their schedule shows in the website, and especially for the popular ones).
redline - communication was via WhatsApp. Admin can speak some English. You can see SOME of the boys face beforehand if you pay a 2000 yen deposit fee physically. This 2000 yen will only be offset if you make a reservation immediately, meaning when you meet your boy and assuming the agreed fee is 17000 yen, they will only collect 15000 from you because you paid the deposit. You will be asked to go down to a family mart location near Shibuya to meet. On top of the face pic that admin has, I was lucky enough to see a few boys physically there who are available on that day itself so if you get to see that, you can also choose the boy you like on the spot. reservation for redline is the most limited/short notice among the 3 places you mentioned as it can only be made 3 days in advance. Admin won’t help you check for availability even if you ask earlier (eg 1 week in advance).
I hope the above is useful and hope you have a good time whichever establishment you choose.

It was my second-last day in Bangkok, and it was still raining all over the city. I spent most of my time in my hotel room doing literally nothing. The newly opened Dusit Central mall was just a couple of minutes' walk away and i decided to have a look. Nothing much to shout about, though — just an average mall with some bougie stuff. Malls probably is not my things. I dont really like it to be honest.
I had planned to go for a quick jog in the evening if the weather allowed. My booking with Gentle Hand was around 3 p.m., so I decided not to spend too much time outdoors, with the rain coming and going.
I headed to the shop slightly earlier and saw my therapist sitting in the waiting area. I decided to let the admin pick someone for me since I dont have any preference. So, I just went with the flow.
My guy looked tall, with some muscles but nahh..not really into my type. He greeted me and escorted to the room upstair.
The shop had only opened in August. Its interior rather in natural colours, calm and spacious. Still can smell the paint. It is located along Sukhumvit 26, which is quite central. But cannot walk from the train station. Have to take bike or car.
The therapist line-up was also rather impressive. Probably not quite long list compared to the TCS or Klover families, but i can tell it has potential. At some point, I realised that rainy days like this make me a little lazy and boring. The massage was just okay, quite literally living up to the shop's name, "Gentle". The session also involved slow, gentle movements with a large amount of sensual touch. Thing i cannot brain, when they used with a lot amount of oil!!!..is he want to fry me? It just i cannot clean up my skin properly after that and made my skin itchy.
Since my therapist wasn't really my type, to be honest, I just let the session flow as usual. He tried to seduce me a couple of times, but I pretended nothing was happening.
He then took off his clothes and jumped onto my back. I just let things happen as he kissed all parts of my body. He looked so horny, I could tell!
Without even asking for extra tips or anything, this turned out to be a one-sided love affair. Haha!
After everything was over, I waited for him to shower before taking my turn. I tipped him around 2,000 THB, and we said our goodbyes.
While waiting for my bike to have an early dinner at a nearby Thai restaurant, i just walked over to the counter, not much, just to busy body with the guy. We chatted here and there, and he showed me his pictures and asked me to book him next time.
While I was scrolling through my phone and mumbling something, he was still holding my finger and then kissing it. I looked at him and thought, "What's wrong with men these days?"
It was so unprofessional... but I liked it. Do it again!
He was about to kiss my lips when another guy suddenly appeared from the back. He smiled and gave me a cheeky glare..!! Next time!
Overall, I'd give Gentle Hand a B rating.
Since the shop is still new, there are a few areas that could be improved. The location is great, the therapist line-up is good, and the massage quality is decent.
The pricing is standard, and my therapist would probably be a good recommendation for someone who prefers a slightly feminine.
After dinner, I headed back to my hotel and got ready for some fresh air at Lumphini Park. I walked for about 10 minutes to the main entrance and came across an aerobic dance session. I decided to join in, almost two hours had passed! It was so much fun.
After that, I went for one round of jogging before deciding to head back to the hotel.
I spent some time at the pool, chilling and playing with my phone. Then, I noticed a message from R (from TCS — you know who he is).
He asked if I was in Bangkok and whether I wanted to meet up.
At first, I really didn't want to repeat the same shop or meet anyone from my previous visit. I gave him some excuses, but he reminded me that I had already promised to meet him whenever I was in Bangkok.
Well, a promise is a promise, I guess.
I replied and agreed to meet him at the shop the next day.
After checking out, I went straight to TCS.
After I had settled all the payments, he came out to meet me. Handsome as usual! He escorted me while holding hands to the room, which was slightly smaller than the one I had previously visited. But that was fine. He started by pretending to give me a massage, but that only lasted about five minutes. The rest of the session just imagine for yourself.
End of review.
Based on my past and latest experiences, I'd give TCS an A rating. This place is good. The massage quality may vary depending on the therapist, but the shop ambience is nice, and the rooms are lovely.
The therapist line-up is spectacular, with a lot of hot guys to choose from. But chose wisely!!
Is R recommended? Honestly, I don't have the answer. Haha!
Overall rating based on my only experience. You may agreed or disagreed. That’s fine!
Good location: Jeyspa / Gentle Hands
Shop interior & ambience: Cavemen / Gentle Hands
Room: Cavement / TCS
Cleanliness: almost all except ssense
Customer service: Motion Spa TiT / ssense
Therapist line-up: Klover / TCS
Massage quality: Motion Spa TiT
Extra Service: Jeyspa
Most recommended Skilled Therapist: Earth Motion Spa TiT
Overall winner: the regular massage parlour next to my hotel, with the old lady who lets me call her Mek because i told her i missed my late mother.
That the end of my review from my Bangkok trip. Until we meet again in couple of months with new shops, new guys, and new moments.
Thanks for spending time here all

Continuing from the drama on the motorbike… upon arriving at the night market, I realised that the admin had booked the same therapist for me without me even asking for him. They might already have a track record.
Btw, I spent some time exploring the local food stalls, even though a lot of the food was quite similar to what we have back home. The sky, which had been clear earlier, was now getting darker and darker. It was about to rain. I dont have any umbrella or rain jacket with me, all sold out from the entire 7E over there.
I just bought some snacks and opted not to eat anything too heavy, even though I was starving. I just didn’t want to show too much of my belly fat after eating when I met him. I have to look perfect infront of him. At least!! Haha. Plus, with all the food smells, heat, motorbike and smoke at the night market, my T-shirt started smelling like something awful.
I arrived at the shop slightly earlier since it really looked like it was about to rain. And the moment I stepped inside, it started raining.
Since I was already familiar with the shop, I just had a quick chat with the admin at the counter while waiting to settle the payment and everything else.
And then, he came to greet me. The smile, the looks, the voice, the cuteness, the hair, the baby face, all in one perfect package. he just made me melt all over again.
He brought me to the room, and he seemed so excited. He still remembered me, and this time, he chatted more than usual. He was friendlier and smiled a lot more. He tried so hard to speak English, and I felt so disappointed in myself again for not being able to speak Thai.
So i just quick review on the massage session since i already posted full review from my last visit at someone else thread. I forgot which one. The massage was really good, as usual. Exceptional, Consistent, a good amount of oil used, and he hits all the right spots. Two hours actually felt like nothing. I’ll just be honest here. Everything was perfect.
Again, at the very last minute before the session ended, while he was doing some stretching, I realised I needed something to close the activity. The last time, the business was unfinished. I need to claim it now before it too late.!!
So, I bravely asked if he did extra. He smiled and said yes, but with an extra tip. I agreed. Bring it on. No negotiation needed. I pay full price. Name it!!
He started taking off his clothes, and I had no idea what to expect. The muscles, the body, the skin, the tattoos, the odour…everything hit me at the same time. My delulu at the highest peak. This time i’ll prepare myself to be a good boy and not creating any scene.
We spent some time for business. Check and inspect here and there as like a human QC. I just wanted to appreciate and embrace his presence a little longer, until I suddenly realised that the two hours had already passed for half hour. He also looked at the watch and seem to just ignored it.
Upon finish and satisfied with the business, we wrapped the course and get ready. After everything was done, he escorted me back to the waiting area and said, “Please come back again.”=). Of course i will. Perhaps probaby by next week i’ll stand here again!
We said goodbye.
While waiting for my bike, I had another chat with the admin over the counter. Just some random conversation to kill time. Extrovert me can’t even stay silent for a while. Haha.
I’m back to the night market to buy some food before heading back to my hotel. The rain had just stopped, and finally, I could end the day with a glorious smile on my face.
The business deal was done. Haha.
Based on my experience with Motion Spa, everything was exceptional. The massage quality was really good, and the overall experience was definitely to my liking.
But, when it came to the extras, just to be really really honest here ok. my therapist perhaps not really into that. If yes, he probably gonna bring it at first. Just for the sake of me asking for it and probably some extra money for him during low season. I rated it as B. I also have no idea what his current position, straight, bi, gay, trans (cannot be) or whatever. I think building that connection could take some time, and I guess it’s not something that happens instantly with everyone. If you want to worship his body, go on, it perfect creature. If it Something more than that, i don’t think he is interested.
But overall, I must give this place an A.
Should I come back? Yes, definately.
Would I recommend my therapist? Nahhh. Get someone else. Leave him just for me.
To the next part!! Gentle hand and last minute with TCS

A little off topic but too late after i arrived here years ago I read Private Dancer by Stephen Leather - fiction exploring the bar scene and forming relationships in Thailand - for me it was a sobering read amd wished i'd read it before i arrived

Good Thursday morning from Chiang Mai. Or is it Shanghai. I swear every time I use dictation I have to manually switch it. Siri has no love for Chiang Mai.
Hanging today with the local Grindr guy. I don’t know when the kid got any sleep. He’s already messaged me this morning. We parted ways around 9 so he could be to work by 10 last night. The plan is to get together at 8 this morning, which is 30 minutes from now and I’m still in bed. How he is awake is beyond my comprehension.
Still can’t believe this one’s into me. The whole time we were hanging out yesterday he was being friendly, but not really flirtatious. He joined me for my little walk around Nimman as I scoped out some apartment buildings. There were moments where it seemed like he might be interested, but I didn’t know if I was just imagining it. But then just like the Japanese Grindr guy from Bangkok, as soon as the door is closed, Wham! I tend to forget that Asians aren’t into PDA. I guess it’s generally not accepted or appreciated. I’m the type that likes to hold hands or play with someone’s hair that kind of thing. Especially if it’s in a gay friendly neighborhood like Nimman. And when there’s any sign that that’s not OK my natural assumption is they’re not interested. So yeah when we get back to my place last night at the door closed, holy hell did he 180.
His body is so my type it’s ridiculous. Probably about 120 or 130 pounds gymnast body. He must exercise maybe even lift weights, but not too much. When his shirt came off JFC. It was like that line from that Ryan Gosling movie when he took his shirt off and the chick goes “Seriously? It’s like you’re Photoshopped.” I guess the line in 2026 would be seriously? It’s like you’re AI.
So yeah, here we go with the juggling act I’ve got today and tomorrow with the local guy. My Japanese teacher arrives Saturday night and leaves Monday afternoon. I already told the local that I have a tour planned all day Sunday, which is kind of true. 😆 but yeah I haven’t juggled guys in like 20 years. Most of the past 10 years I didn’t have one guy in my life. So this is definitely taking me back to my hotter era… and trust me that was a long time ago.
Looking unlikely there will be much time for any bar or massage visitsfor the rest of the CM part of this trip. Maybe tonight because I think he has to work again. We’ll see. The era has also passed of me going 2 or 3 rounds in one day. 😜
I’ll leave you with one of my favorite moments yesterday while we were grabbing dinner of him trying to figure out how to eat pizza. With his body, it didn’t surprise me that it’s not a staple of his diet, but he enjoyed it. If you’re ever in CM Pizza my heart is incredibly good.

Thanks guys. Chiang Mai deserves the love. It's a great city. The scene here is obviously not on the Bangkok level. But how could it be? It's in the shadow so there's naturally the comparison. But it's cool that there are some fun spots when you've got that itch!
But man the quality of life here is great. The mountains are gorgeous. The people are so kind. I've yet to have a bad meal here... Asian or Western. Grab is my BFF. I love that it's a walkable city. Love the idea of living a car-less life. Burning season is def a concern. Been talking with a lot of locals about it to get an idea of how well I'd handle it. Daytime heat is more of a challenge than I thought it'd be given the elevation difference. But the nights here feel fantastic. And I miss being a night person.

So what’s the dumbest thing I could do with a guy flying up here Saturday? Here’s a hint: make the same mistake I made in Bangkok.
Yep. Started chatting with a guy on Grindr. Just tapped him and didn’t even message. Figured he’d be way out of my league. 23 super cute. Amazing body. Within a couple minutes, he messages me. Spoke great English, so I assumed he was using Google translate. Come to find out it’s part of his job as he works in hospitality. He joined me as I checked out apartments in Nimman. Had dinner. Go back to my place. And yeah.
Here I go again. I could juggle guys back in my 20s. But that was decades ago. He seriously has the kind of body I always tried to find when I was dating in my 20s. But guys like that were out of my league then. here I am at this age. This is ridiculous. I feel like Ashton Kutcher is gonna pop out at any minute and tell me I’ve been Punk’d.

Yeah many countries now have a Trump'y movement happening. Thing is Trump isn't the problem. He's a symptom of the problem. Many are eager to see some big changes in November in the U.S., but here's the thing. Even when the orange blob is gone (hopefully) in 2 years, the underlying problem is the cretin following he's inspired. They rarely voted before he came along. They'll find some new figurehead that'll justify their racism by calling it national pride. But the thing I tell people I meet here is not to judge the entire country by the MAGA movement. They're a cult. But not a majority. A problem is MAGA and more normal conservatives (I know, probably a contradiction in terms for many) are going to vote the same way. So it's almost 2 on 1 for a dem right now.
I'm sure politics are frowned upon on boards like this... and they should be. But it's relevant in that where the country is right now is a big motivator for me to go back and vote in November, then get out and explore the world starting next year. I have been wanting to do this for years but wanted to be here for my folks while they were still around. Both of my parents have now passed so this is why plans are in motion. I still have family and friends I'll want to come back to the US and visit. But there's no better time than now for me to do a reset and live in and explore other countries.
I've been to a couple dozen countries and none have made me feel like Thailand does. I've watched far too many YouTube videos, read countless blogs and stories from expats, done the research on visas, healthcare and so forth. Everything pointed to this part of the world. But I wasn't going to make a big decision like this without being here for a couple months. Not seeing and hearing the orange blob on a daily basis has been wonderful… until I fire up my laptop. 😆
