TotallyOz

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.

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.

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.

Do you call that a Favela? It looks like Paradise to me! Beautiful!

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Businesses & Organizations Exclusive Adult Shop | 460 Karangahape Road | 9-373 4973 | no website There are no private areas in their movie house, which shows straight and gay porn in separate rooms. So all the action goes on in the open, so to speak, and frequently turns into group scenes that are hotter than anything you see on the screen in front of you.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Businesses & Organizations Erox Cinema | 474 Karangahape Road | 9-307-6882 | http://www.eroxadult.co.nz/ (their online adult store website) This adult store has branched out to a movie house that has super-comfortable viewing areas as well as a ton of action from guys who are there to get it on. There are four cabins for prviate viewing and you can “interact” with patrons in the other cabins, but it's up to you with glory hole-type openings that can be opened or closed.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Businesses & Organizations Grinder | 348 Karangahape Road | 9-307 9191 | no website Formerly The Den, the back room of this sex shop is a cruising spot. It's pretty hard core – there's not really a lot to do there other than suck and fuck, and it can get a bit grimy. But if you're up for a naughty time, this place is as good as any.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Restaurants Cafe Cezanne | 296 Ponsonby Road | 9-376 3338 | https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cafe-Cezanne/131713830236077 Head here for breakfast and come away satisfied for the day – or for an after-club chow-down before heading home to pass out. Save room for some homemade pie! You can also stop in for coffee and a muffin to go.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Restaurants Chapel Bistro | 147 Ponsonby Road | 9-360 4528 | http://www.chapel.co.nz/ Chapel has a mixed homo/hetero crowd that yums up the well-priced menu of truly eclectic foods for every taste – from pizza to corned beef sliders to tortillas to calamari. It's good if you're down for some well-cooked, regular food.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Restaurants The Golden Dawn | 134 Ponsonby Rd | 9-376 9929 | http://www.goldendawn.co.nz/ Yes, this is mostly a bar, but their food menu is amazing. If you're here with friends, get a bunch of dishes to share and taste as much of the menu as possible. More than one patron has made a full meal out of the figs, Welsh rarebit, prawn buns, terrine... we could go on and on.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Restaurants Coco's Cantina | 376 Karangahape Rd | 9-300 7582 | http://cocoscantina.co.nz/ Coco's is a K Road go-to spot for solid grub Italian-style. Their polenta fries are the crack of side dishes, and the pork belly is so satisfying. A good option when SPQR is simply not in the budget.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Restaurants Bambina Cafe | 268 Ponsonby Rd | 9-360 4000 | http://www.menumania.co.nz/restaurants/bambina-cafe Amazing breakfasts, yummy lunches and a cool crowd makes this award-winning cafe a frequent favorite on Ponsonby Road. Their coffee makes even the snobbiest barista swoon.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Restaurants Garnet Station | 85 Garnet Rd | 9-360 3397 | http://www.garnetstation.com/Home.html Did you know that New Zealanders are really good at coffee?

Stop by anytime for good eats that you choose from the display, and chow down while you check out the scene.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Restaurants Clooney | 33 Sale St | 9-358 1702 | http://www.clooney.co.nz/ Clooney is not cheap, but you get what you pay for – exquisite food, exquisite setting, and a mostly gay crowd that worships the food placed in front of them. Splurge on the omnivore tasting menu for a truly spectacular meal.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Restaurants SPQR | 150 Ponsonby Rd | 9-360 1710 | http://www.spqrnz.co.nz/ SPQR – Senatus Populusque Romanus ("The Senate and the Roman People"), the motto of Rome – sets the tone for this Italian restaurant that is ground zero for the gay scene on Ponsonby Road. And the food is amazing – try the pumpkin ravioli, or share the tasting plates with friends.

Auckland Gay and Gay Friendly Restaurants Kamo | 382 Karangahape Rd | 9-377 2313 | http://www.menumania.co.nz/restaurants/kamo-restaurant-bar Kamo is one of the joints that are in both the bar and restaurant category, but don't discount it for either! The eats are good here, definitely better than they should be, so don't be shy about tucking into a dish here. Great to go to with friends and stick around for the bar scene later.
