One of the best shows on TV. Some of you convinced me to watch it this year and I am so glad I did! I love it. I love Angela Basset and I love Kathy Bates!

I do not think porn production should be restricted any more than nude dancing, escorts, etc. What 2 consenting adults decide to do is their own business. If they wish to tape it and someone wants to buy it, great. There will be more laws like the one in LA. And, then they will clamp down on things you enjoy. It is usually at that point that many say, "hey, wait." I am going through a process now with one site that is about water sports. It will not get processing via MC or Visa just having an article on the site. No photos are needed. Just the article itself stops the site from being approved. I assure you, the more those that wish to take away sexual freedom from one, they will eventually get to your desires and that may just be gay sex. We saw it in the past and just because some things have changed, does not mean that war is over!

Great report. I have not spent a great deal of time on Koh Samui but now I want to go back and spend more time there. I loved this: "However, note that Koh Samui is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been to – up there with Hawaii – a must do in the land of smiles at least one time." Totally agree and it is great for a weekend getaway with a boy you care about!

I wonder how they will digitally alter the ones with cum in the ass shots?

Yes, this was very expected and talked a great deal about last year. Several companies move production to EU and South America. There are ways around things but if you wish to produce a no condom film, Cali is not the place for you. That said, still two of the biggest players in the gay market are still in Cali but not in LA.

Do not expect love when money is involved. When money is involved, it will always be about money no matter how good you are to someone. It is a fact and everyone can tell me I am naive and that they are special. We all like to think we are special but in the end, we have more money and it is part of an equation. That does not negate kindness, love, attention and etc. But, it in E=mc2 if you take out the m, you don't have the same results. My boys love me. Do I know this? Yes, without question. But, I prefer not to test this by taking the m out of the equation.

Here is what they decided: Three main places: Bangkok/ Hua Hin, Phuket We will spend first two days in Bangkok. We will see all main places. We will travel to Hua hin by best possible way train or bus or taxi whatsoever. We will spend couple of days in Hua hin to cover all nice places around Hua hin. Then we will travel to Phuket. Here we will also cover phi phi island and rest all nearby places. Anyone have any more suggestions related to the above? I'd just say that perhaps a bike ride around Hua Hin would be great!

Wait. Are you telling me this is not the case? I was told on my last trip how much they loved my belly and my balding head. Not once did they mention my wallet. Not once I tell you! I also spoke to him last night and while we did talk about his new motorbike and the new water buffalo, he never mentioned anything else about money. I do feel sorry for him right now as his grandmother is sick and might have to have surgery. I'll know more in a few days.

Wow. You covered so much in the Chiang Mai area. Fantastic story and photos. I love the White Temple. You are very adventurous and your posts do tell me you are willing to go off the regular path that everyone attempts in LOS. Lovely and amazing reports!

I have been traveling a great deal in the USA and just got a chance to read this thread fully from top to bottom and it is fabulous! The details and the photos are fabulous. I enjoyed each and every one of your posts and the report really did bring me back to LOS with you! Thank you.

A federal judge in Oklahoma ruled Tuesday that the state’s constitutional amendment barring same sex marriages violated the federal Constitution, the latest in a string of legal victories for gay rights and one that occurred in the heart of the Bible Belt. The state’s ban on marriage by gay and lesbian couples is “an arbitrary, irrational exclusion of just one class of Oklahoma citizens from a governmental benefit,” wrote Judge Terence C. Kern of United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, in Tulsa, deciding a case that had languished for nine years. The amendment, he said, is based on “moral disapproval” and does not advance the state’s asserted interests in promoting heterosexual marriage or the welfare of children. http://www.hrc.org/blog/entry/u.s.-district-judge-rules-oklahoma-ban-on-marriage-equality-unconstitutiona http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/15/us/federal-judge-rejects-oklahomas-gay-marriage-ban.html?hp&_r=0

Fabulous updates! Thank you!

It is funny. IMHO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js6XbWPEL8A

If anyone else is having problems with EZTV - you can just go to their twitter and download the stuff and avoid the DDOS on their site.

If you have never tried Hua Hin, it is beautiful and fun. It is more laid back and not a big gay scene but it is enjoyable and relaxing.

I would say in Bangkok, the must sees are the Kings Palace, the Floating Market, Wat Arun, Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza, and JJ Market. If in Pattaya, maybe a boat ride out to the islands, a trip to the tiger farm and the wooden temple. Would others have must sees for the above? And, would you venture so far as Chiang Mai on a short trip? Or, maybe just head to Hua Hin or some of the beaches closer to Bangkok?

I have some friends that have to go to a conference in Bangkok. They will stay for a night or two at the Holiday Inn on Silom. They will then spend 6 more days in the LOS. They are not gay. They are on a tight budget but want to see as much of the country as possible. They love riding motorcycles. They don't mind adventures like trains or buses but don't want to waste much time. If you have 6 days to see Thailand with a limited budget and it will be your one and only trip there, what would you do? Where would you go? How would you get there?

It has been down several days for me. Are there other good sites that has American TV shows easy to find?

Great Article: http://nyti.ms/1dPnMGh

Lek is one of my favorites. 1 hour is usually enough for me. They won't run you out until you are ready. Just tell them what you want them to do and they will do it. It is a good place and I have only had one or two bad experiences there in 100's of times.

One thing we seem to try to be as a community is inclusive (at least in some ways) and the struggles for transgendered rights are important for all of us. The extra T does not bother me at all.

Amazing writer and I love reading her works.

Thais are stupid? LOL Americans elected George Bush to two terms (even though not really the first term as it was given to him and the very "intelligent" people in the USA voted him back in).

I didn't get the GeoBlue plan as I was turned down based on weight. I tried again yesterday and it was approved. Guess how much? 1300 a month. Insane. It does nothing more than my Blue Cross policy in USA that costs 430 a month except that it covers me more overseas. Geoblue also has a policy that covers you for a reasonable amount IF and ONLY If you maintain credible US coverage. LOL It is a real PITA for insurance for expats.

We are in a pickle. We can't keep everyone logged in and out. I think to solve the issue yesterday, we changed it to when you close your browser or are gone for 12 hours it automatically logs you out. We will remove the Keep Me Logged In as it does not work and won't work right anyway. So sorry for all the inconvenience.
