You can always ask for Long Stay Rates when you are there for at least 14 days. Those rates tend to be around 4,000 baht a night and include breakfast. Great deal IMHO

I wrote this a while back as my friend Stephan Lacoste helped me to fall in love with France. I spent a long time with him in Paris and I loved the city. If it were not for the expense, I'd be living in Paris today! I have almost decided that I'll eventually move to France or Spain and have tried to find a place that I'll love and feel comfortable and not break my wallet. I have enjoyed my trips to Montpellier and think is it lovely. Langue Cock Boytoys Guide Montpellier, France The Best Kept Gay Travel Secret In The World! Imagine a warm Mediterranean city filled with young gay men who speak English but without any of the tourist shops or hassle you have to deal with when you visit Nice, Cannes or Paris! If that sounds like fun, Boytoy wants to let you in on the best-kept gay secret in Europe Montpellier, France! Located in the Languedoc region of France near the Spanish border, you'll find many men ready willing and able to speak Langue Cock! Once considered off the beaten path, the development of cheap flights from London and fast trains from Paris over the past dozen years has turned this student town into one of the most popular gay destinations in all of Europe! Yet, the word has yet to catch on in America so the French here don't hate us yet, prices are much cheaper than Paris and your cut cock will still be a novelty item to the Montpellier boys! The median age for Montpellier residents is 30 years old, and the city has a higher per capita gay population than Paris or London meaning that you can find all the gay men you can swallow and almost never have to see a gray pube on your entire trip! Better still the weather is almost always warm, there is an entire nude village nearby, you can be on the beach in about 15 minutes and easily get your ass to the clubs at night, without breaking the bank! You'll find that even in high season, hotel rooms in Montpellier cost about half what they do in Nice or Cannes, and the beaches are far less crowded than any of the marquee Mediterranean beaches. But, you'll want to visit soon, because a gay vacation destination this good won't remain a secret forever and you want to get your ass over here while you can still find fresh meat! The city also has a fairly compact and pedestrian-friendly center of town, lots of resources for English speakers and its own quality cuisine to fill your belly before you head out to score! So, my delightful drag queens, delicious divas, smooth twinks and burly bears, let us take you somewhere you've never been before to the Roman ruins and kick-ass clubs of Montpellier, France! Clubbing For Cock In Montpellier, satisfying your cockaholic cravings is all about hitting the club scene and shaking your sassy ass! Unlike most of the gay bars and clubs in America, the Montpellier gay scene is mixed between gay men and lesbians so on any given night you'll see both boys and girls in any bar or club. In the center of town, Heaven is the most well-known and longest running of all of the gay bars and where you want to go early in the night. The bar opens around 8 p.m. and people start dancing around 10. The scene is always hot, but because they only have a 1 a.m. license the night tends to end early! Heaven is a mix of young student types and older sugar daddy types. Twice a month they hold lesbian only nights called Ovaireland - which you'll probably want to avoid. For a harder scene, you can visit TNT in the city center which is a newer, trendier and much more hard core gay bar which also closes at 1 a.m. If you want to dance the night away, the larger gay clubs don't open until midnight and most of them stay rocking until around 5 or 6 a.m. They are all located outside the city center, but most of them run shuttle buses between the train station and the clubs all night long during the spring and summer. Of these, the most legendary is Villa Rouge which attracts famous DJs from New York and London and is famous for having one of the largest and dirtiest back rooms in southern Europe. The gay clubs around Villa Rouge are constantly changing their names but all of them are known for dirty dancing and delightful dicking! If you are tired of speaking French and feel like grabbing a cocktail before the gay bars open, you can visit the Vert Anglais right around the corner from Heaven a mostly straight, but very gay friendly, bar where all of the staff are British, Canadian or English. Their cosmos and chocolate martinis have brought Madame Ovary to her knees! Marche Aux Fleurs Most of the center of Montpellier known as Centre Ville is one large gay neighborhood. You'll find tons of restaurants with rainbow flags, flyers for the gay bars and clubs and lots of men checking each other out everywhere you go. You'll even discover Carla's Eyeworks a gay eyeglass shop! In fact the only places that are not gay friendly in Montpellier are the two Irish sports bars but these homophobes are obvious and easy to avoid! Just walk away as soon as you see a Guinness sign! But, the gayest part of this gaytown is the Place du Marche Aux Fleurs, behind the Prefecture. Here you'll find four gay daytime cafes surrounding a beautiful French square. Heaven is right around the corner as are several sex shops, a gay sauna and several gay clothing stores. It's the heart and soul of gay Montpellier! Promenade Du Peyrou At the edge of Centre Ville and roughly three blocks from Marche Aux Fleurs is the Promenade Du Peyrou a beautiful garden from which you can see all of Montpellier, the Mediterranean and the mountains while being just steps away from cockalicious cruising! The entrance to the Peyrou features an exact replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. When you walk through the arch and cross a street you'll be in a large stone garden, filled with giant trees and beautiful flowers. Keep walking and you'll approach a manmade pond and then the start of the Roman aqueduct. You'll also be at the highest point in Montpellier. From here you can see lush mountains in the distance and the entire layout of the beautiful city! The aqueduct is old old old, but has been restored several times over the past few hundred years. If you walk down the steps of the aqueduct during the day, you are likely to find older French men playing a regional version of bocce ball, known as petonk. At night, however, this area becomes cruising heaven with men literally lining the streets looking to hook up and there are always a fair number of male prostitutes in the mix so if you don't want to pay for it, make sure your man is a volunteer! To Dress Or Not To Dress The Montpellier Beach Question If you visit Montpellier in the spring or summer, you'll want to hit the beach and visit either Palavas Les Flots or Cap D'Agde. Both beaches are an easy and inexpensive to get to via the local mass transit system. Palavas Les Flots is a free beach on the Mediterranean surrounded by nice restaurants, gaudy tourist shops and the smallest, most fagtabulous casino you may have ever seen. It's all very James Bond in the casino, with men required to wear jackets and waiters ready to bring crisp gin and tonics right to the blackjack table for you. The beach itself is a nice mix of straight and gay and if you want to feel extra fabulous you can rent a beach chair for a modest fee and have drinks brought right to your favorite tanning spot all day long. For those more adventurous among us who like to let it all hang out, Cap D'Agde is one of the hottest beach communities in the world. Not only is the beach itself nude the entire village is nudist. You can go to the bank, the post office and even the local restaurants wearing not a stitch of clothing which means there's eye candy everywhere, even if you'll have to see a few fatties along the way! Place De La Comedie If Montpellier was a princess, the Place de la Comedie would be the jewel in her crown. Located right in the heart of the city, this square looks like a wedding cake come to life. The giant square is surrounded by four huge cafes. The Opera House and the Esplanade Charles De Gaulle mark off either end of the Comedie which has some of the best people watching in the entire world. The Montpellierans are very relaxed about their cafe culture so you can easily sit in the Place de la Comedie and nurse a coffee for hours while you watch the people go by. Behind the Place de la Comedie is the city's English language movie theater, several sex shops and the Rockstore a gigantic club that features four different types of music a night in large separate rooms until 5 a.m. Most of the cafes here close early so the Place de la Comedie is a total daytime gaytime activity! During the day, the Esplanade at the end of the Place de la Comedie is home to a giant open-air market, where you can buy anything and everything from new shoes to beautiful tapestries! It's a bargain hunter's wet dream! Musee Fabre The most spectacular tourist site in the city is the recently reopened Musee Fabre just steps away from the Place de la Comedie. The museum was originally opened in the 1825 and was only closed for renovations for about four years at the turn of this century. In 2007 it had a fabulous reopening and now is a wonderful showcase for paintings by Rubens, Dufy, and Marquet among others. It's a little bit of culture in this otherwise sin soaked city! The Montpellier Botanical Gardens The Montpellier Botanical Gardens is the oldest botanical garden in all of Europe, commissioned by Henry IV in the 1500s. Today it remains a giant public garden, filled with rare fauna from around the world and open to the public seven days a week, 365 days a year. You can literally get lost among the flowers and easily spend an entire afternoon in the Botanical Gardens as long as you remember to stop and smell the roses! Montpellier Shopping Montpellier is a small European city but it is filled with some of the top name brand clothing stores and boutiques, just like the ones you'd find in Paris. However, in Montpellier the prices are lower and the stores are almost never crowded so you can get a full, big-city shopping experience at Hermes or Armani without any of the big-city hassle! It was enough to make me update my entire wardrobe! I'm still on a shopping high! For the most fabulous shops, wander up and down Rue Foche and Rue de la Loge, connecting the Place de la Comedie with the Peyrou! It will take your breath away! Take A Visit To Montpel-Gay! If you are tired of the tourists and want to go on a great gaycation where you can shop til you drop, hit the beach and even do your banking au natural Montpellier, France is where the boys are! All you have to do is get your sweet ass over there. cc boytoy.com 2012

I love Montpellier. I have been there several times over the years.

Actually, when I was in law school, I had a map up of the world on my wall. I put a pin in each country for every one I had visited (with a guy). I got well on the way before the first boyfriend tried to slow me down. My goal was 100 countries visited. I am happy to say I was slutty enough to meet this goal heads on! It was funny as I would meet some guy from Ghana and he would not interest me at all until he told me where he was from. I would think think back to which country I needed. LOL I got lost in Brazil and Mexico too many times but I finally was able to get a FF ticket to other locations.

Yes, Adam but you can also comment on 100 other countries. At least.

I have been following it. I had not seen this link. Thanks. I did see the link the town created to try to control the spin. IMHO, they should not fuck with Anonymous. They may get a finger up their ass.

I agree with you. The food is great. I have stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel there several times in the last year. To be honest, the hotel needs a lot of work. But, the restaurant attached to it has some of the most amazing food. I love their Jalapeno Macaroni. There are so many different nice restaurants in the city that I really enjoy it. Also, I sign on to Grindr and I get a ton of boys in my area.

I agree BudFoxx. So, I assume you will be giving that respect to all?

Thanks to all who participated! I think I got everyone that posted to enter and make the posts. Let me know if I missed anyone! Great job guys! DeLurkers: JKane NCBored lookin MsGuy AdamSmith BigK caeron

Blond boys galore! If you don't mind getting hot and sweaty when it is usually cold outside, Stockholm can be your next gay tourist destination for your vacation. This is the city that gave us the original fagtabulous gay icon Greta Garbo that the Madonnas of the world still go Ga-Ga for! While the weather is always chilling, the gay scene is steaming hot and will make you want to steal the scene as a dancing queen! Stockholm is a city built on 14 interconnected islands connected by 57 bridges. It has some of the most beautiful water views in the world. One of the main tourist activities is discovering the city by boat which is easy to do even in the chilliest times of the year. You'll have no problem getting your gay on in Stockholm, which is known as the gay capital of Scandinavia. In fact, even though the population is very small, the city's annual gay pride parade in May attracts an average of 50,000 people a year. The bad news is that there is no official gayborhood in Stockholm. But, the good news is that the entire city is gay-friendly and you'll see same-sex couples holding hands and making out in the streets and parks all the time. It was the city that introduced the concept of civil unions, and Sweden was one of the first countries in the world to introduce anti-discrimination laws. You'll find a level of tolerance in Stockholm that most cities only aspire to. While you can find gay bars and nightclubs scattered throughout the city, the most popular are headquartered in Södermalm, Gamla Stan, and Kungsholmen. If you like to bang your head while giving head, you'll be happy to know that Stockholm is one of the only cities in the world to have a thriving gay heavy metal scene. The scene is known to change on a regular basis, so your best bet is to keep your eyes out for the fliers advertising the most recently opened watering holes and dance floors. The Swedes are not prudish at all, and the ads will make it VERY clear which places to find your own boy toys. If you should find yourself wanting to find a club for a particular fetish or sexperience, you can pick up a copy of the gay nightlife magazine QX GayMap, available at nearly every newsstand. Be warned if reading it in public - it has some of the most explicit ads for gay bars you'll see anywhere. Cruising is not particularly popular outside of the bar and club scene probably because it's so cold that you'll want to remain indoors as much as possible. That said, there is no lack of a gay nightlife at all, and the hook-up culture is as promiscuous as it's gotta be! You should be warned, however, that Stockholm does have one of the highest levels of alcohol taxes in the world, meaning that it can cost a fortune to drink in the bars and clubs themselves. If you want to get your booze on, you are much better off hitting the supermarket for beer or vodka and pre-gaming in your hotel room before you go out. On the other hand, Stockholm is known for its very affordable, high quality restaurants, so you'll have no problem keeping your belly full. At least once you need to try out the local smorgasbord the international delicacy invented in Sweden. One of the most exciting developments in the Stockholm gay community is the upcoming opening of the ABBA Museum in May, 2013. The 5,000-sqm museum will showcase the history of the Swedish supergroup, and is expected to draw over 200,000 visitors a year. The first stop for any tourist, though, should be the Gamla Stan district. This is the oldest preserved medieval city centers in Europe. It is pedestrian-only, filled with cobblestone streets, and centuries-old frescoes can still be seen on many of the walls. It is also home to the 600-room Royal Palace, which is open to the public. After checking out the royal rooms, you'll want to head over to the Stockholm Cathedral, one of the largest and most beautiful churches in Europe. When you leave Gamla Stan you'll want to visit the Vasa Museum, home to the only perfectly preserved 17th-century ship in the world. It is the most popular tourist destinations in the city, attracting well more than a million visitors a year. Next up, you'll want to check out the Skansen Open Air Museum the oldest such museum in the world. It was built by taking apart, brick by brick, more than 150 farms and dwellings and reassembling them on site. The result is that they have perfectly recreated what life was like in 18th-century Stockholm. Next door is the Stockholm Zoo proving that the Stockholm gay scene isn't the only place you'll see bears in this winter wonderland! If the 20th-century is more your thing you can then take a boat ride over the to Moderna Museet, the city's modern art museum. Here you'll see works by Dali, Picasso and Matisse, among others. Finally, you'll need to experience the Royal National City Park, a six-mile-long stretch of green space that winds its way through the city. It is full of deer, rabbits and even moose! Be warned, however, that it is not a cruising park and the Stockholm police will look very unkindly on anyone trying to get it on in the bushes! Overall, Stockholm is a beautiful city on the water that is incredibly gay-friendly, has a vibrant nightlife, and is very welcoming to tourists. You'll have no problem finding cock when you want to get your rocks off, and it's easy to find fagtabulous sexperiences. It does get snowy and rainy in the fall and winter, however, so always remember to wear your rubbers! cc boytoy.com 2012

Well, that all depends. Are you a size queen? If so, you will be very happy with the boys in Austin. However, if you are a REAL Size Queen, and you last 20 boyfriends have been from Dominican Republic, you might not be so happy.

I have seen a way around this and that is to click the top left light switch. It then allows you to see the code perfectly.

All are welcome here. We have an open door policy and as long as people abide by our rules, they are free to come and participate. I don't mind a few covert operatives. I think of Michael Weston. If he is hanging around, would you please let me show him around? Damn right!

And, FH, many Thais take a snapshot of shoes they purchase, movie tickets bought, receipts of electricity bills etc. It is one of those things I don't get but this seems to be common place.

Thanks. Yes, I know about this and have asked for support at Invision to help but it seems to be the newest version.

I am sorry, this is the first post I see in this thread. I guess I have the first two posters on ignore. What did they say?

As some of you know, I have been spending a lot of time in Texas the past few years and Austin has become my city to use for Delta flights so I thought I'd write a little bit about Austin. I hope you enjoy! Play that funky music gay boy! It's time for a hoe-down because today I'm going to give you the skinny on the hottest stop in Texas for boy toys, gay boys and the men who love to meet their meat – Austin! Now, Texas doesn't have the greatest reputation in the world as a gay-friendly place to visit, but Austin is different. While the rest of Texas is most certainly a red state, Austin is as blue as your balls after four days of not getting off. The city is one of the most queer-friendly places to go in America – and it's just as easy to get your gay on here as it is in New York or San Francisco, but everything is cheaper. You won't bust your budget just to cum down to Austin and bust your nut. Even better? Winter doesn't happen in Austin. It's warm all year 'round. And while it is certainly hot in Austin in summer, it's nearly perfect weather in fall and winter – so if you want to escape the snow and cum someplace warm, Austin is the place for you. The downside to Austin is that there isn't a lot of great public transportation, and there is a lot of sprawl. Therefore you'll have to do a fair amount of driving to get to the various gay bars and clubs. If possible, when planning a night on the town, plan to go out with someone and take turns being the designated driver. If you are on your own on your vacation and do want to pound some booze, you can take advantage of the city's Square Patrol Service. Between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. they will show up and drive you back to your hotel. You do, however, have to have your own car. They are a designated driver service and not a taxi service. Most bars have fliers telling you how to contact them. The number one reason people decide to visit Austin is because it has one of the most interesting and thriving music scenes in America. No matter what type of tunes turn you on, you'll find it here at any of the hundreds of bars and clubs scattered around the city. Of course, the most famous music event in Austin is the annual South By Southwest (SXSW) festival held every March. More than 1,400 performers a year show up to play music for four days. It is the largest music festival in America, and you'll find every type of music possible represented at the various tents, stages and other venues. And, who doesn't want to be surrounded by tens of thousands of boys jumping around and getting sweaty all day and all night! A fair amount of the gay scene in Austin is centered around the University Of Austin. This makes sense because when they get to school here is when many young Texans finally tip their hat and come out of the closet. When they graduate, they remain living near the school and bars, clubs, restaurants and gay book stores have cropped up to meet their needs. So, you should definitely walk around the university and the gayborhood around it – both for the delicious young eye candy and the opportunities to find your own vacation boy toy to bound around with between the sheets! While at the university, you'll want to get on the tour to climb up the famous UT tower, which offers the most breathtaking views of Austin in the entire city. The unofficial slogan of the city is “Keep Austin Weird.” You'll find posters, bumper stickers and T-shirts to that effect wherever you go. Perhaps the best example of why this slogan is true is the city's most popular tourist attraction – bats! Yes, you read that correctly. The city is the home to an estimated 1.5 million Mexican free tailed bats. Every night at dusk, they fly out of their caves and into the night sky to cruise for bugs for dinner. It's easy to check them out by going to any high point during sunset, though locals will tell you that the Austin American Statesman's parking lot is the best place to check out the view. Don't worry, they won't suck your blood - they don't like to eat mammals. The most typical Austin event is Eeyore's Birthday Party, which features a giant statue of Pooh's best friend dressed up as the Statue of Liberty. It is held the last Saturday of every April ,and attracts a huge number of gays and lesbians who are out to party hard to celebrate spring (which is the mating time, am I right boys?) For an even better example of just how weird Austin can get, you can go to the annual SPAMARAMMA event – an entire party designed to celebrate the potted meat dish. People hold gourmet SPAM cooking competitions and drink and dance the night away while stuffing themselves. If you are looking for a queer-themed activity for your gaycation, the Austin Gay And Lesbian Film Festival is the oldest in America and attracts a loyal following every September. That's the same month the city hosts the largest Gay Pride Parade in the Southwest, so you can combine both activities at once for a cockalicious experience! When you want to think pink (and really, when don't you), the Texas State Capitol Building is a must-see. Made entirely out of pink granite, and is larger than the U.S. Capitol. (Well, everything is bigger in Texas, so what would you expect?) The building is open to the public, so you can wander around and get in touch with a bit of Texas history. Speaking of which, your next stop would probably be the LBJ Presidential Library. This is the heart of any historical tour of Austin. It has rotating exhibits dedicated to the one Texas president who actually gave a shit about civil rights. If you want to just walk around and cruise a bit, head over to Zilker Park where you can hike for several miles around Town Lake. It's not only one of the most beautiful walks to be found anywhere, there is also a huge hook-up culture in the park at night, so it's a good place to go if you want to beat around the bush! So, my wonder fags, twinks, bears and boy toys! If you want to check out the Lone Star State, Austin is where you want to cum and have fun! Hope to see you there!

Thank you for sharing what happened. I really had no idea about the situation and I was unable to find what you did wrong on the site. And, still do not. It is not fair for any admin to ever post under a user's name. I agree with you that has to be sacrosanct. I will assure each and every one of you that this will NEVER happen on this site. Tampa Yankee is one of the most honorable men I know and both of us value the work and effort each one of you puts into making this site fun and enjoyable and informative and we will never intentionally do anything to breach that trust. My mother always told me: if you play with a snake long enough, you are bound to be bitten. I know the bite does not feel good and you did not deserve it Lucky. Sorry this happened to you.

Envious in America! Have fun at Hero. Did you see the post on this site about Marriott's lifetime membership changes. Good news for all of us that stay at these hotels.

Inquiring minds want to know. What happened? I have read the threads in questions and for the life of me can't figure out what happened.

I have never seen anything like that in my travels. But, I have been on the plane with some unruly passengers once. This was pre 911 and the flight attendants were very patient with them. But, if this has been in the past few years, I don't think the same outcome would have occurred. I also have several times in the past few years been on board to have passengers thrown off the plane before it takes off.

The governor would be an idiot not to take Barney up on his offer. A better guy could not be found!

Lurker, I am interested. I'll have to wait closer to the date to see where I'll be at that point in time. But, if I am in Cali or Texas I'll defiantly be there. I have heard great things about this weekend and would love to test it out.

One of the reasons this is my favorite hotel in Pattaya! Great staff. Great security. Great breakfast buffet.

New Rules for Marriott: Lifetime status will continue to be awarded on the basis of a combination of points and nights earned by travelers during their memberships. What will not change is the number of points required to earn lifetime status. That remains as follows: Silver Elite: 1.2 million points Gold Elite: 1.6 million points Platinum Elite: 2 million points The new number-of-nights hurdles, however, will be considerably lowered, as follows: Silver Elite: reduced from 600 to 250 nights Gold Elite: reduced from 800 to 500 nights Platinum Elite: reduced from 1,000 to 750 nights Lastly, the current requirement that Rewards members participate in the program for at least 12 years before being eligible for lifetime status will be dropped altogether. The new rules will take effect on January 1, 2013. Full details, according to Marriott’s blogger, will be posted online at http://www.MarriottRewards.com/Lifetime, but that page hasn’t yet been activated. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marriott-rewards-including-ritz-carlton/785268-lifetime-marriott-rewards-elite-status.html
