Great video. Were these meant for men or women or both?

It is a free site. But, you are right, like most forums, it does require you to register in order to see the photos. The threads are still good and have good information if you want to travel to Brazil and you can easily view without registering.

Here are a few threads of years gone by that have some temple photos. Like BaoBao, I love this thread.

A very interesting read: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/17/travel/rio-with-eyes-open.html?pagewanted=1&tntemail1=y&_r=1&emc=tnt&

Even the Thai boys agree!

Sorry about this experience. I have never had anything like that happen in my time in Thailand. Although if I did, I would think it would happen at Tawan or Jupiter2002. I hope you both are over this and OK!

You have one week to submit your entries.

I have 2 Thai ladyboy friends that work at the Sister Center. They are great gals and the center does a great job of education in the city. Nice to see this article. It is sad to see the discrimination against the ladyboys but in Pattaya, they make the papers all the time. Why? There is much more money in the lady business and their bosses take care of that. IMHO

It is an interesting read for sure. It is not what I have been told of the prisons in Thailand. I have spoken to many that have been and they all said that sex with anyone in prison was taboo and when caught, they were punished severely.

With so many miles, you don't need any more so they turned you down. They only give these offers to those of us who can't fly around the world 10 times free.

Paris, I think all the cities in Brazil will have different character and I like seeing all of them. I don't just go to saunas. I like to see beaches, museums, and where the people of Brazil love to visit. IHPGUY, I only have 3 days there and was thinking of staying the entire time in the city as it is so short. But, I would be willing to consider one day away from the city. Not sure if it would be worth it for one day but as I only have 3 nights there, I just could not do much more on this trip. However, I am open.

I'll be in Sao Paulo in 2 weeks so I'll get to see first hand how much this place has declined.

I have to admit that I have been to UK about 20 times and each time, I am fascinated with the history and the former royalty of the country. I have been to many of the castles and palaces and am always in awe. Being from a very new country, the old homes and churches, etc. are a great selling point for me. On my first trip there I was 16 years old. The guy I was traveling with was an antiques dealer and they showed us some great places and I bought so many antiques that I had to hold them in my lap on the plane back to USA. It was such a joy and thrill. I also love the theater and no better place on earth than in London. IMHO (and Broadway too) I have really enjoyed reading all about this Richard III story in the press and seeing it on TV. It is fascinating!

LOL Again? I thought they did this once before and then closed and reopened?

South America is beautiful and one of my favorite destinations. Take a look at the guys in this thread: http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/12887-the-sexiest-guy-i-ever-met-in-rio/ and this one: http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/13111-favorite-photos-of-a-favorite-rio-guy/ here is a thread on the trip a friend of mine took to Rio last year: http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8905-rio-january-2012/ and lastly my thread on my trip to Brazil on a budget: http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5429-brazil-on-a-budget-a-nutty-totallyoz-adventure/ I am currently in the planning stages for my trip in less than 2 weeks to Brazil again for one month. I have 10 days in Sao Paulo 4 days in Fortaleza 3 days in Salvador 4 days in Porto Alegre 9 days in Rio (I have used points for every city except Salvador and will stay in all hotels for free. Another reason I am a point whore) and I may add on 5 days in Belo Horizente at the end of the trip depending on how tired I am. I'll be traveling with my friend tomcal who posted the first 3 thread above. He is a bit of a sauna slut and last trip I was there with him, I could not really keep up and was so tired at the end of my week with him that I needed a week's vacation to recover from my vacation. In summary Abang, you MUST make some time and go to Brazil. It really is paradise and it one of my favorite places on earth.

I think both of those apply for most airline deals. I had friends that didn't get that promotion email click and they were entered as well. But, they all travel with Delta. If you are not a regular Delta customer, I am not sure any of these miles deals are worthwhile but for me they are. I have one friend that would go Business Class to Hong Kong 2 times a year to maintain his Platinum Status when they offered the fares cheap. He flew over for one day and then back. For some people who do watch their points and miles, these deals really can be worthwhile. As for the cheapest tickets, that is very common. If you purchase with Delta.com it should qualify. I have not booked with any airline directly that did not give you their miles. If you purchase from a consolidator, then it may not. I only ran into this once when I book a business fare from a consolidator for about 70 percent of what the airline charged. It was worth it for me but it did not accrue any miles. I also know that some Expedia fares work and some do not. Same for other sites like that. I guess it just depends on which is more important to someone, booking the cheapest ticket and saving 100 dollars or getting the miles. On a recent trip I am taking in Brazil, I'll fly into Sao Paulo on Delta and out from Rio. While inside the country I wanted to visit a few other cities and so I used Delta's partner GOL. It was a real PITA as they website doesn't work well and often you have to call to book the tickets. But, I spent a day doing this as I wanted my miles while traveling in that country. I booked Sao Paulo to Fortaleza and then to Salvador and then to Porto Alegre and then to Rio. So, I'll do 3 other cities other than Sao Paulo and Rio De Janeiro. The country is vast and I saw no need to book with TAM airline even though it was about 150 USD cheaper and not get points. Plus, as a priority member, I get good seats and first pick on the seats, extra luggage allowance and priority boarding. This is not important for some people that travel lightly but I'll have 3 suitcases with me and I want to be sure I get them all covered with my ticket. If I had not traveled with GOL, I would have to pay for excess which would be higher than the savings. Often when traveling, you need to look at all these little things and determine what is best for you.

It looks to me like India is undervalued. That is NOT accurate. I could not get a good Big Mac in India. That is not a fair comparison. I have used the Big Mac Escort Tip Index for years. With that, an escort in the USA often gets a 100 dollar tip. That is roughly 30 Big Macs. Do Thai escorts get the same? (Tip I am referring to and not the base pay)

Great way to earn more points if you fly Delta! http://dmn.delta.com/ace_plrs/DoubleMilesToAsia/?MkCpgn=EMSPOPAA002953021513094841-A01A-A

I have been to the Black Party more times than I care to remember and I always had fun. The shows are great and wild. The music is amazing. I did go inside the "dark room" but I was with a BF and he and I played together and not with others. I have no problem with anyone wanting sex in a dark room. Adults should be able to make their own decisions. I have yet to see any show on earth that has amazing porn stars fucking on stage and having a blast. If I were in NYC, I'd go. But, I use to live only a 5 min walk from Roseland so it was easy back in my youth.

Well, I like Nicki. I didn't at first as she is a bit much to take. But, she is funny and with the ones she likes, she is helpful.

I miss the Preppy Handbook Days!

I really enjoyed Jekyl and Hyde on Broadway. I saw this with Linda Eder and Emily Skinner. I thought the show was fun and the music was enjoyable. I loved Linda Eder!

I'll be staying in Salvador for a few days and want a good hotel that has good Internet. The location is not as important as the consistency of the Internet. Any recommendations? I have thought about the one below: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g303272-d299453-Reviews-Mercure_Salvador_Rio_Vermelho-Salvador_State_of_Bahia.html

Well, I was finally able to get the tickets I wanted online. What a total pain in the ass. My itinerary is now complete. 10 days in Sao Paulo 4 days in Fortaleza 3 days in Salvador 4 days in Porto Alegre 9 days in Rio

Well, I think for the most part it is stamped out in the bars but I doubt it will ever be stamped out in the street. There are less street kids roaming around but it seems that many have found other ways to meet up with potential money. Sunee Plaza is cleaned up more now that in the entire time I have been traveling to Thailand. That is a good thing and I am glad most of the bars are also keeping pace with this change.
