If you go to Brazil for that long, let me suggest also spending more time up north. I love Salvadore and there are some amazing beaches around the area that you can get great deals on. I'd spend at least a week up north in Salvadore and that area. I'd also spend good amount of time in SP. I know most of the posters on Boytoy love Rio, but I love the big city feel of Sao Paulo and I also find amazing guys there and amazing restaurants and clubs and bars.

Berlin Station is looking really good if you like spy shows. I do and this one has some good acting and plot twists.

I went to The Roadhouse 2 days ago and they would sell no alcohol and the day before another restaurant the same. So, it wasn't just one day. I don't drink, so it is easy for me. But, I was with friends who wanted a beer. They understood and just got soda.

The boys went out tonight to get beer at 7/11 and were told they were not selling it. I did see the restaurant across the street selling beer but not 7-11. Also, many sites in Thailand are going black and white. I find this quite beautiful and a nice way to show respect.

Yes, you are right. Not far from Tawan on the opposite side of street. It was a 10 min walk (max) to Roadhouse.

First, let me say, I miss Hero. More than most would imagine. I've visited Hero at least 200 times over the years and love it. But, alas, things change and I must either change or never get a happy ending. I went to Prince Massage in the Sathorn area this week. It was easy to get to with Uber and the driver took me right there. Coming home, no Uber available so I used Grab Taxi and waited 7 minutes before he arrived. I love using both of these services. Prince is very clean and there was a beautiful array of boys. I found a small, six pack boy named Po. I chose a 1.5 hour massage in VIP room. Cost 1500 baht plus 1500 baht tip to boy minimum. The room was nice with a Jacuzzi. I chose not to use the Jacuzzi as the bathroom smelled like sewage. I chose the wrong room for sure as it was a corner room and did not want to shower there but had to. I'll most likely not try the VIP room in the future as it was 500 bath more than standard room and not worth it IMHO. Po was a sexy boy from Myanmar. I'd rate his massage 4/10 and the happy ending 3/10. Both are generous ratings. I was told he could do everything but in the end very little. I doubt I'll believe the mamasan again. But, at the same time, sometimes things just don't click between two people and this was one of those times. I left unsatisfied but with an orgasm. I think I'd have enjoyed jacking off to porn a bit more but that is what it is. I have had this happy in the past, very few times at Hero, but if the massage is great, I'll deal with it. When the mamasan asked if the massage was good, I said just OK. She asked about the boy and I said just OK. She asked about her recommendation and I said, "not good." No tip for mamasan and that is very unusual for me. Also, I did see several boys from Hero there. Prince is very nice place. Beautiful interior and nice rooms. The rooms were clean and shiny. My particular room smelled in the bathroom only so I am not sure if just that room or others. Wait staff was friendly. Overall, a very comfortable place. And, while I did not enjoy my experience, I'll give it another try but will spend more time talking to boy first before the massage instead of relying on mamasan. I also think the mamasan at Hero knew me and always steered me right. I don't yet have that relationship with anyone at Prince. So, give The Prince, gay massage in Bangkok with happy ending service a try. Let me know if your experience is different. I'll also give another test run in Bangkok before I just stick to lady massages with no release and 10 percent of the cash invested.

I went out last night to eat at The Smokin' Pig. It was closed but still wanted ribs so I wanted to the rib place at the end of Suriwong. As I walked, it was pretty errie. The streets were quite and Soi Twilight was black and dark. It was a very somber mood. After eating dinner at Roadhouse BBQ, we walked back to the Patpong Night Market and it was also very quiet. First time I have been there in ages. But, I have never been there when things were this quite and walking down the isles and no one bumping into you. On the BTS, the mood is very somber as well. As foreigners, we need to respect their grief and being loud and partying right now is not acceptable. There were a few groups of foreigners that were very loud on the BTS, and they were getting stares and scolding eyes. I was a bit embarrassed. At Roadhouse, we were there for 1.5 hours. No liquor sales allowed. And, we were the only customers. First time I have been there where I had the place to myself as well.

Friends have been telling me to try this place so last night I took a trip there to test. Unfortunately, it is closed for the entire month of October. So, I could not test it out. But, I wish I had know this before hand. I should have called them ahead of time. But, just so you all know, it is closed this month so don't try to go.

Graves is quite good. It looks like it might be a fun ride. I like the lead actors Nick Nolte and Sela Ward.

It is official. The beloved King of Thailand has died. The Royal Household Bureau announced.

Wow. Sad. But, not unexpected. They do great at Meio Mundo. I hope they keep that up!

Timeless is another interesting SciFi show. It is about a group that can travel in time. Not sure the full plot of things yet but the pilot was just OK.

BigK, I think you are right. So far, Designated Survivor is still leading the pack for me. Every time my Thai BF sees the actor he says, "Jack Bauer to save the world?" I say, "Yes."

Another option is Conviction. It is not getting rave reviews but I liked the main actress and I think the show has a chance to be good. I also liked the sexy Latin guy holding hands with another dude !

Westworld also looks like a lot of fun. Anthony Hopkins leads an all star case. The story is is by J.J. Abrams. Westworld is an amusement park for rich folks. The hosts are robotic "hosts" -- allows its visitors to live out their fantasies through artificial consciousness. The fantasies are often quite hardcore. I found the first episode enjoyable, a bit odd and perhaps great potential. The cast with Hopkins and Ed Harris is surely just one reason to give it a try!

Speechless is a lot of fun as well. Minnie Driver as Maya DiMeo, the mother, is great. She is so fun to watch. The story is about a family that is a bit quirky and the oldest son has Cerebral Palsy. The cast works well together and I have enjoyed it.

I would agree that it is the best in South America! http://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-travel/rio-voted-south-americas-best-lgbt-beach-destination/#

I believe I wrote back last year how much I enjoyed Istanbul. I had a blast there and the gay apps were great. I had lots of sex but most for free. Some would propose money for modest amounts and that was OK for me as well. Just read this article on the changing escort scene in Turkey and found it fascinating. http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/09/turkey-changing-face-of-sex-industry-services.html

Although this article is mostly about non-gay strippers, I found it very interesting to read! http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/we-talked-to-montreals-male-strippers-about-their-female-clients-and-druggy-co-workers

The new James Franco movie with Christian Slater about the underworld of gay porn back many years ago is now got a full trailer. If you remember the story, this was a murder mystery based on real people. I know many of them in a former life when I was in NYC. The movie looks interesting. Can't wait to see it.

Having know many of these guys in a past life, this movie looks interesting.

LOL They don't remember the name of the place!
