I have been in and out of Thailand a hundred times over the years and never once asked for a ticket confirmation on either side. In the USA, when anyone travels to Brazil, they check at check in to see the return ticket. If you don't have one, you don't get on the plane.

This is just something I am considering as a precursor to my real Tuk Tuk trip. That is to drive one from Thailand around the entire world and break the Guinness Book of World Record for the longest trip on a Tuk Tuk. LOL Yes, yes, I know that sounds insane. Berserk. Looney. But, it is a dream. The Rickshaw Run may just tell me if I am able to handle the long trip. The Thai BF, who will do the ride with me, tells me he doesn't think I'll be able to sit in one for hours and hours day in and day out. But, time will tell. As for Lucky's offer: thank you. I'll accept Zander in my bed. But, does that require a contract stating I won't go on a nutty adventure? MSGuy, you should have read the paperwork for this thing. The contract basically states that you know that death may result and that you waive all your rights. I have never seen a contract so blunt and brutal.

I love Tuk Tuk's and some people may even call it an obsession. But, with that love, comes the desire to do crazy shit. Has anyone ever done this race, known of others who did it? A good friend of mine is already registered for 2013 and wants me to join him. http://www.theadventurists.com/the-adventures/rickshaw-run

The government plans to launch the bidding for the country's first high-speed train route linking Bangkok with Chiang Mai by this September. The train will take just three hours to reach its destination. ...... Construction of the first high-speed train line is expected to begin early next year and the first section of it from Bangkok to Phitsanulok should be completed between 2018 and 2019. The last section from Phitsanulok to Chiang Mai would wrap up two years after that, Mr Chula said. He said fares would probably be no more than 2,000 baht per trip. http://bangkokpost.com/news/transport/332505/hi-speed-rail-plan-kicks-off I do hope that Thailand is able to catch up the the USA with regard to high speed trains. That would only take one train.

The forum is done by a company called Invision. They come out with releases every few months. I upgrade to the newest ones. I did this last night. The programmers don't control the code for the forum. They do for the rest of the site. They are not the ones that can fix the "center" or "array" but I did put in bug requests to Invision and was told it would be fixed on the next build. That should have been done but I didn't personally test them either.

Did you "report" the profile?

Yeah, several of the museums in this city are creepy. I can't imagine what it was like to be living in this country during that horrendous time. The tour of the "Killing Fields" was one of the most sad things I have ever seen. You walk on trails that you can sometimes still seen bones sticking out of. And, America just sat there.

Hasn't the Israeli army taken women as combat soldiers for years?

Are you sure it wasn't the deep pile of bullshit she must have been sitting in to be so close listening to him?

Phnom Penh A Holiday In Cambodia! Times certainly have changed. Back in the early 80s the Dead Kennedys sang, It's time to taste what you most fear / Right Guard will not help you here when describing a holiday in Cambodia. Today, however, Pol Pot is long gone, the country has opened up, and tourists have started to descend on this once-isolated Asian nation. And, as is true in most of the Asian world, that includes quite a few gay tourists and the local economy has responded. What this means is that if you are a rice queen, you can visit Phnom Penh and have a sextastic sexcation that will fulfill all of your cockaholic cravings. So, lets take a little tour of Cambodia. First, there are many places to stay in Cambodia. The river area has tons of cheap B and Bs and Hostels and small hotels. The area is also known for the backpackers and it is easy to find a special pizza in the area that is baked in good marijuana. If you are looking for a nicer hotel, The Intercontinental is amazing and for the brand is one of the cheapest hotels of it kind in the world. The hotel has a few great restaurants and is walking distance to everywhere find food and fun. Getting around Cambodia is easy as there are Tuk Tuk drivers everywhere. I often hire them for an entire day for a set fee and they then stay with me the entire day and night for 15-20 USD. You can also hire cars very reasonably but it is harder for them to get around. Stick with a Tuk Tuk as it is part of the Cambodia experience! Phnom Penh Gay Hookup Culture Before you go cruising for sex in Phnom Penh, you need to ask yourself if you like young looking dudes or mature looking dudes. Both can be found, but in different spaces, so choose wisely. If younger college guys are your thing, you'll have no trouble at all hooking up in the local gay bars. You won't have to hire a rent boy; these bars are filled with young gay Cambodian guys who assume that all foreigners are rich and will be able to buy them drinks and take them out to dinner. Therefore, at any given gay bar you'll be surrounded by young ass practically giving itself away. In fact, there have been reports of young Cambodian gays actually getting into fights with each other over who gets to leave the bar with the Western dude. If you've ever wanted to fight off young men, the bar scene is for you. However, not all of us are into college age drama. Some of us like a grown man. If that's the case, hit the saunas in the later afternoon. There is still a lot of social pressure for gay Cambodian men to marry women, so what many do is simply hit the saunas for an hour or two after work and before they come home for dinner with the family. These older men consider Western men to be exotic, so you'll have no problem attracting their attention and can taste as many as you choose. But, be warned - during work hours and dinner time they disappear, so you need to get in the saunas at the right time for your bowl of sticky rice. The Phnom Penh Male Escort Scene Even though it's easy to get laid for nearly nothing in Phnom Penh, there still exists a thriving gay escort scene. That's because not every guy wants to have drinks with their daily lay. You'll find the rent boys to be cheaper than in Thailand, but also slightly more difficult to find. During the day they hit the saunas, where they are popular with older locals and foreign men alike. In fact, if you see a young dude in a sauna, assume he is a rent boy until proven otherwise. At night they avoid the gay bars, and instead hit the clubs generally in the later hours near closing time. They don't come out earlier because they don't want to compete with the guys who are giving it away. While we don't generally name specific bars in these articles (as they come and go) we would be remiss if we didn't mention The Heart Of Darkness club because it has been around for years and should thrive for many years more, and is the one bar/club where you can easily find male escorts at any time of the night. Also Blue Chili has been around quite a while and is a mainstay in the city. I have never been to the bar where I didnt find at least one if not 10 guys to take back to my hotel. What To See When You Aren't Getting Laid You don't want to come back from Cambodia with people thinking you are a total pervert (even if you are darling!), so you'll want to check out some of the beautiful sites this Asian destination has to offer. The Royal Palace is your place to start particularly the Silver Pagoda, where you will find the Temple Of The Emerald Buddha. This building is particularly important because while most of the older buildings were destroyed during the Pol Pot regime, the Royal Palace was left untouched, so it gives you a good sense of the history of the country. Wat Phnom should be your next stop. This is a beautiful park with a stunning temple on top of the hill. Even more fun are the wild monkeys that roam the area - they are very friendly and playful and, if you have a beer or soda with you, will beg you for a sip. Be careful about leaving any food around here, because the little rascals will steal it in a heartbeat. The National Museum of Cambodia is also more than worth seeing, with Sanskrit artifacts and the beautiful statue of King Jayavarman VII. The courtyard is also breathtaking. Be warned, however, you'll want to take an umbrella with you. Despite numerous attempts by authorities to remove them over the past 10 years, both the museum and courtyard are home to many, many bats who will fly around and crap on you if you are not protected. Finally, take a look at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. Of the more than 14,000 people tortured here, only eight survived, and the museum documents the troubled times very, very well. It's Time For A Side Of Rice! OK, my little rice queens, now you know what to do to get done in Phnom Penh! So, why not come down to taste a little Asian cuisine? cc boytoy.com 2013

No, sorry, since the last issue we had we upgrade to newer versions the day they come out. I'll try to give a bit of a head's up next time. However, this upgrade is supposed to have fixed the editor issues some were having. Also, let me know if other issues arise. As always thank you for your support!

Thanks for the review. I'll have to try this on my next trip! Also, remember this thread? http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/4420-best-italian-in-bangkok/?hl=zanotti

On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh claimed that Hillary Clintons Benghazi hearing is staged. Limbaugh claimed that Republicans were in on the conspiracy too, because this was all part of getting Hillary Clinton elected in 2016. LOL Rush is a douche and hates that a strong woman kicked the ass of his Republican cohorts. Way to go Hillary. You have been a great service to the USA in the last 4 years and I look forward to whatever you decide to do in 4 more years.

Fortaleza Saunas, Sex And Sun Hello my little boy toys, big old bears, terrific twinks and fellow cockaholics. Today, we're going to tell you about one of the most fun gaycation spots in South America Fortaleza, Brazil. The name comes from the Portuguese word for fort, and was at one point the chief seaside fortress in the region. Today, it's not so military but is instead a wonderful bohemian city on the beach that offers a sextacular lifestyle for anyone who cares to cruise down to visit. You'll find that while there are tons of gay European tourists, the number of American tourists are fairly low. Because of this, you may have more of a language barrier than in other South American hot spots, but if you speak even a little bit of any Euro language, you should be fine. The city has become known as one of the best places in the world for gay cruising, particularly if you are interested in hot young male escorts (and, really, who isn't?). So, let's take a little tour of fine-for-fucking Fortaleza. Beach Bums! The main tourist activity in Fortaleza is hitting the beach. There are 16 miles of beaches along the coast, with everything from family-friendly sunbathing spots (boring!) to super hot gay cruising beaches. The Barraca Cabumba beach is where you want to hang out if you just want to mingle with fellow happy homos. It's a gay beach where people come to relax and bake off their hangovers after a night of hitting the hot, hot bar scene. You'll have a great chances of meeting cute guys here you can hang out with later, though it's not much of a hookup beach. If you want your chance to get some sex into your beach bum sexperience, then head over to Meireles beach, where the action is much hotter. Here is where you can find Mr. Right Now and head to a secluded spot for some private fun time. Both beaches are heavily gay and you won't have to worry about being surrounded by boring breeders. Rent Boy Paradise Can we be blunt? When you are in Fortaleza and not going to the beach, your main other activity may be playing with the rent boys. There are more of them here per capita than in Rio, so you'll never be at a loss for finding your own little male escort. Your only challenge will be that the nicer hotels require you to register your guests, and will frown upon you bringing an escort back with you. This, of course, stops neither rent boys nor their customers. There are plenty of rent-by-the-hour love hotels that are fairly cheap and will ask no questions about who you bring in with you. That said, sometimes you don't really want to go to all that hassle. This is why the male escorts have learned how to work the saunas and many, many small dark rooms in the gay bars and clubs. At any given time, figure that a large percent of the young guys in the saunas and clubs are for hire given the right motivation. You just talk to them, agree on a price, and then head over to a secluded spot of the sauna or club and get your gay on. Because of the sheer numbers of rent boys working the bars and saunas, the prices are somewhat lower than in Rio or other Brazilian cities. If bars, clubs and saunas are not your thing but you still want to grab a male escort, then simply head over to Avenida Beira Mar, where what seems at first glance to be a cruising scene can actually be a hot and heavy rent boy scene. One quick note while Fortaleza is a very safe city, there have been some reports of rip-off artist rent boys slipping drugged drinks to tourists to rob them. In general, the way to avoid this is to never accept a drink from a potential rent boy (why would he be buying you a drink anyway?) and to keep your glass in your hands at all times. If the guy asks to share a drink with you, assume he's trying to rip you off and move on to another boy. Other Fun Fortaleza Activities When in Fortaleza you'll spend 80 percent of your time either at the beach or cruising for guys. This city is sex central, so why not? Still, there are some other things to do and we'd be remiss if we didn't pass them on. Fortaleza offers one of the most spectacular sunsets in Brazil. The best place to see it is the entertainingly named Ponte Metallica. (Yes, with the exception of Ride The Rentboy the exact T-shirts you are envisioning in your mind right now are on sale there.) The History Train at Banco de Norteste is a good tourist ride that will tell you interesting stories about Fortaleza, including one about one of the old Emperors having a long-term gay lover affair. It's not to be missed. The Museu de Arte e Cultura Popula is a cultural museum set in an old prison that offers you interesting examples of traditional Fortaleza craft culture. It's a good place to buy souvenirs for your mom. If you want to see some local culture, head over to the Theatro José de Alenca. This theater is not only an architectural marvel; it has interesting shows every hour on the hour, so you can head over and have something to see while killing time before hitting the many bars and clubs. Get Ready To Go Down In Fortaleza! There you go the ho-down and lowdown on Fortaleza, Brazil. Come on over to this amazing city in the paradise that is gay Brazil! cc boytoy.com 2013

A Thai court on Wednesday sentenced a political activist to 10 years in prison for insulting the country's revered king, a decision that drew criticism from human rights groups and the European Union. The Criminal Court in Bangkok ruled that Somyot Pruksakasemsuk had breached Thailand's strict lese majeste laws when a magazine he edited, Voice of Thaksin, published two satirical articles found to be critical of the monarchy. Somyot, who arrived in court barefoot with shackles around his ankles, plans to appeal, according to his lawyer, Karom Polpornklang. http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/23/world/asia/thailand-activist-prison-sentence/?hpt=wo_bn4

It is very odd to me that a Swiss National, young lady, student is arrested on charges of overstay and kept in prison for one month and her embassy was not contacted. There must be much more to this story. http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket_news/2013/Missing-Swiss-student-tourist-alive-and-well-in-Thai-prison-20039.html PHUKET: A 22-year-old Swiss student tourist reported missing while on holiday in Thailand has been found alive and well. She’s being detained in Ranong Prison for allegedly stealing a camera belonging to an immigration officer. The search for Tscherina Nora Janisch, a foreign-exchange student studying at the National University of Singapore, began on January 15 when her mother, Elizabeth, posted a concerned note on the popular travel website Travelfish. Mrs Janisch became worried after she had not heard from Tscherina since December 22. Her daughter habitually contacted home once a week. The Travelfish posting was quickly carried across many websites and was picked up by mainstream media across the region. Cpl Rungroj Somjai of the Ranong Tourist Police saw a report in a local newspaper on January 19 and quickly reported to the Swiss Embassy in Bangkok that had seen Tscherina weeks earlier. In a bizarre twist of protocol, the Swiss Embassy reported the news to Tourist Police Commander Roy Ingpairoj in Bangkok, who informed the Phuket Tourist Police, who in turn reported the news to the Ranong Tourist Police, who investigated the claim and found Tscherina incarcerated in Ranong Prison. “Ranong Tourist Police reported to the Swiss embassy they had found Tscherina. The embassy contacted her family and this morning [January 23] her mother, Mrs Elizabeth Maria Janisch, came to Ranong with Tscherina’s aunt and asked to post bail of 130,000 baht to have Tscherina released,” Cpl Rungroj explained. The Swiss student is being held on charges of stealing a camera belonging to a Ranong Immigration Officer. Tscherina presented herself to Ranong Immigration on December 25 while trying to exit the country to do a “visa run” to Myanmar. She had entered Thailand on December 8 with a tourist visa, which allowed her to stay for 15 days, explained Cpl Rungroj, who was called to aid Ranong Immigration as an interpreter. “She refused to pay the fine [500 baht per day] for the three-day overstay, so the officer had to charge her. While the officer was typing the arrest record, she asked to go to the toilet,” he said. “A few minutes later, one of the immigration officers noticed she went into the investigation room and walked out acting suspicious. The officer asked to search her and found in a pocket of her shorts a Canon PowerShot A640 from one of the immigration officers’ desks in the investigation room,” Cpl Rungroj said. “She was charged with overstaying her visa and with theft. She confessed to the overstay, but denied stealing the camera. She was then transferred to Ranong Prison while awaiting her case to be heard in court,” he added. “I talked with Ms Tscherina’s lawyer today. He told me he has submitted a request to the court to post bail. They are now waiting for the court’s response,” Cpl Rungroj said.

Anyone actually been here?
