Well, I downloaded the first season and have watched 4 episodes. I think it is a hoot. Coming from the South, I can relate to his family and esp. hunting and life in the woods with rednecks. They are proud rednecks. As is most of my family. LOL I am really enjoying it!
-
It would be nice if this holds till my next trip.
-
I have not seen the show but my interest is peaked as to why it is so popular.
-
My kind of movie!

If the government is not blocking the site, an easy switch to another hosting company would most likely solve the issue.
-
Yep, that worked. Thanks.
-
I am in a Hotel and not sure the provider. But, I have been getting that for a while. It was on and one for 2 months on this current trip to Thailand but usually back on. This time, it has been one week at least and I can't see any page on the site.

For a week, I tried to access the site and it does not work. I am in Bangkok. The site says: Not Found Anyone else having issues?

FH seems to be upset and it was not my intention to upset him or anyone else. He seems to think I have questioned his integrity and that was also not my intention. I made a comment that I do not see the issue when posts are made on this or any site that is not a perfectly worded post. I do not think anyone should expect this from others. If FH believes that I have insulted him, for that I apologize. I guess I need to learn to debate in a more proper way as opposed to the way I did it growing up which is through arguments. Arguing back and forth is not a debate. And, at no point did I ever mean to insinuate that FH was less than honest in his posts. I do believe he was wrong in his points and I am not sure why we can't agree to disagree?

Nice try! HeyGay was years back. Scooby was this week. If you seriously can't see that, you must have blinders on. Like I said early on, I never expected you to admit anything. I knew you much prefer a semantics game. Not me. Now, I am not going to argue with you any further. I'll just end with, we agree to disagree.

http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/9068-the-blue-house-in-gay-pattaya/ FH: "With all respect, who wrote this? The English is atrocious!! This surely isn't Scooby's prose?" You don't call that taking issue? I know your answer. Don't even bother as I am sure you will say that is not berating someone. Again, I disagree! And, for HeyGay: FH said: "And I have to say sorry again, because I think it is utterly ridiculous to permit someone to post gobbledygook and then have the mods clean up his pathetic English just to make it more comprehensible! Where does that end? I readily acknowledge that brevity is not one of my stronger points - and I will try and do something about that in future. But are the mods going to step in and edit my posts so they are more readable to those with a very short attention span? I know it's a ridiculous idea. But no more ridiculous than what they were trying to do with HeyGay's posts. If any poster wishes to post on a message Board which uses English as the language of communication, surely that poster has a responsibility to post in at least reasonable English? We know that some posters here are not English, and in general they post excellent easily readable English (better even than some native English speakers ). Why on earth should someone who was born in England, whose native language is English, who - as we had been informed - actually taught English in Thailand for a while, why should that poster have the right to post nonsense posts? Worse, in my view, why should the mods help him by virtually encouraging that nonsense style of writing through going to the bother of checking all his posts and then editing them? That really does smack of authoritarian rule. I'm sorry because you say you know and like the poster. That being the case, I'd suggest you would have done him a better service by persuading him to cease his pathetic mangling of his native language and writing instead like a reasonably normal person." http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/8455-administrative-decisions/?hl=grammar&do=findComment&comment=62250 Same thread: FH: "If anyone wants to use stronger language or make irrelevant or idiotic posts in mangled English, as z909 said, there are other boards they can join and where they will probably be welcomed. " Sorry, FH, but we disagree on this. I think it is obvious that you wish everyone to write perfect or near perfect English. I don't think this is a bad thing. But, you did just this week tell Scooby his English was Atrocious.

I agree. I didn't realize that Scooby or the Mods deleted any posts that linked over to other threads. I am appalled at this. I can't believe they did that! Oh, wait, perhaps I misunderstood you. Were you saying that you think they should be linked but that it should be Scooby that does it? Oh, I see, that I understand. So kind of you to offer him to do that for you. Wait. Wait. I have a brilliant idea! It is amazing. When you see a thread that needs to be linked, you might post a reply: Hey, there was a great discussion of this thread recently. Here it is:
-
LOL "Back up your comments" but exclude HeyGay? Isn't that like going to a gun fight but taking only a knife?
-
Doing the gay guide to Mumbai. Am astonished at the sheer breadth and variety of prostitution options in the city.

Love the long post and your dissection of recent posts from Scooby. You are a true genius of this "picking apart" and I do not mean that in the negative way you may think. I have watched it with awe and amazement over the years and wish I had that skill right after law school as I might have stayed with a legal profession as opposed to the one I chose. I just had to throw in the LMTU part. Sorry, I could not resist but as I have seen this conversation before, I just had to throw it in. Most of my time in Thailand is spend loving the beaches and the boys so forgive me if I had to bring up Let Me Tell U.

Thank you. I appreciate that. But, as you can see with the lack of responses to my Pizza thread, once the reviews started, not many contribute. That does not bother me as I keep writing. I would never expect that any link to that thread but I am always happy when they do. We all write as we want to share information and even if few contribute, I know that down the road someone will learn something from a post I make and that is good enough for me. Just last year I was sitting in a sauna in Rio and drinking with a friend. A guy approached me and asked me if I was TotallyOz from another site. I said yes. He then told me how much he appreciated my sauna reviews and my stories about my travels to Brazil. He said that because of them that he has now traveled to Brazil over 20 times in the last 10 years. He knew every post I had made and his memory was better than mine. But, I asked him what his name was on the site and he said he was never a member but that he kept up with things daily. There are many out there like that that never speak up or contribute. You can see that by the vast number of views on this site for many threads. FH is one of the best writers from any site I have been on. But, I will never be able to write and photograph like he does and few others ever will. I am just trilled we have people like FH who posts to perfection, people like WillyWilly who posts quick and abbreviated posts, Scooby who gives us great topic starters, Firecat who posts about the boys he meets, and many others from Thailand and abroad. We are each different and someone will gain good info from our posts.

Sorry, FH, I also disagree with you. Scooby wrote a post that lists a restaurant and not a personal review of the restaurant. There is a difference. Yes, you do expect almost perfection in others posts. Just recently, you described one of Scooby's posts as "atrocious" spelling. You do expect everyone to post as perfect as your posts and when someone doesn't you berate them. Sorry, I am not trying to be rude, but I have seen this over the years with people who don't speak your tongue with perfection. Spelling and grammar are issues among many and on a board like this, everyone will be different. I am smart enough to read a post and read between the lines. Perhaps it is because I myself am dyslexic and make many mistakes. But, I never get upset when someone doesn't speak or write the way I do. The post on this thread is a listing for others to contribute. I do not expect Scooby to have visited the restaurant in order to make a post about it. Everyone knows he owns the site and is trying to build up the database. If they don't, let me tell you, he is trying to build up the database and give information for users about the establishment. If you still don't get it, let me tell you again, Scooby is trying to make this site better and to have a place where anyone can go and find information about businesses in Thailand that are gay and gay friendly and he has not been to every place he posts for this reason. If you expect that, you have greater expectations than I do. That is OK. But, don't expect me to sit idly by when someone tries to attack him at every turn. I have been lucky enough to have been to most places that are gay in Thailand. And the ones that I know about, I contribute to. If others have been, please do the same. It makes for great conversation and it helps the site. But, as someone who also has researched places in lands far away for other websites, I know that you must keep your database strong even if you have not been to every place. That is the way it works and it is the only way you can have the best database. I doubt few have traveled as much as FH and has the vast knowledge he has on many places. I not only admire that, but I also respect it when he makes a statement. However, I do not expect that the owner of a website will know as much as he does or as much as I do about Thailand as we have spent more time here and went to more places. I think instead of criticizing, and if you didn't see your first post in this thread as doing that I suggest you go back and read it, I think it would be better to be helpful and to contribute to the posts that Scooby makes without the bitterness. I make a lot of posts on this site and I do so because I love the site and I love sharing information. I believe the same is true with FH and many others. I also learn a lot on the site. But, I try to be helpful and contribute as much as I can and not pick apart other peoples posts. I do know FH has the best interests of the site in his mind. I just disagree with the approach.

FH, with all due respect, the point of each of those posts that Scooby lists is to build up the database in the City Guides area that has a list of all places in Thailand that one would visit. IMHO, I don't care whether or not he has been there or not. He is putting a listing on the site for others to get information. Addresses are listed, details are given and he has even started adding Google Coordinates which I had never even thought of doing and I think a great benefit. If you wish to link to other threads in the post, that is great. I think that is the entire point of the postings is to encourage others to contribute. Putting a link to past posts is great and I am sure most appreciated. But, just because he didn't do that in his original post, I do not think fair to criticize when all you needed to do was click Add Reply and add one or more discussions from the past. I appreciate all the hard work and effort that Scooby is making in order to make the site better and build up the listings on the site. Unlike you, I don't expect perfection or it to be done the exact way that I would do it.

Eat Me is a place to indulge yourself and get lost in amazing flavors of a variety of food. It is a very intimate restaurant, it is also small and a great place to go for a quiet romantic dinner with your boyfriend or a significant other. The food is excellent and brings a smile to your face as you know you have a great quality meal in front of you. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful and they will make you will feel genuinely welcome. The Menu is quite nice and as one poster here described as Australian Fusion (see link below). While the food is great, the price is not cheap. They also have a small art gallery for you to browse around in and they stay open quite late for the party crowd! Voted by Chefs, restaurateurs and the media, #19 Best Restaurant in Asia. There is another good thread on this restaurant at: http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/8263-eat-me-for-a-special-night-in-bangkok/ Address: 20 metres off Convent Rd. (in Soi Pipat 2), Silom, Bangkok 10500, Thailand Website:http://www.eatmerestaurant.com/ Opening Hour's: Every Day 3pm - 1am (LAST ORDER) Full Kitchen & Bar Until 1am.

This is a Cafe / Coffee Bar that has been under the same management for some time now. They have many repeat customers.They also have a little bakery to allow you to have a croissant, muffin etc with your coffee. More importantly they also have a mouthwatering selection of cakes made exclusively for them by a local pâtisserie available also for take-away! They offer some Thai Food between 11am-2pm. You can get Breakfasts all day at just 140 Baht. This means if you like to get up late afternoon (after fun with your favorite boy) you can still have your breakfast. Love to have some feedback on what you think of this Coffee Bar?? Address: 119/5-10 Surawong Road, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500 Website: http://cafedesfleursbkk.com/ Opening Hour's: 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Closed on Sundays.

It is not within walking distance of Boyztown unless you want a long walk. But, it is easy for Baht Bus to get to and since they offer the free shuttle, just sit on the front porch and wait for them.
