Simply stunning! You keep adding to my bucket list FH. Thank you for such amazing world insight and the fabulous photos!

Thank you for that link. I had never heard of this. I do admit, when I saw the term MegaDo, I was thinking it was a mega dodo (shit) on the plane or a major fuckup. LOL Great article!

I have said for many years that my next long term place to call home is going to be either Brazil or somewhere in Europe. I love Thailand but I do feel that I will make a change in 2013. I hope that some of you here will help me. I have wanted to move to Brazil for a long time. The biggest difference between Brazil and Thailand is the ease at which a foreigner can move and live comfortably. There are literally tons of serviced apartments in every Thai city. I can easily find a furnished apartment in Thailand for a cheap price and it is very nice and comfortable. Check out www.condo6.com for a few choices in Pattaya, Thailand. Check out Marriott Executive Apartments or Ascott Condo in Bangkok. In both of the above, you can easily find a decent high end place for 1200-1500 USD per month. And, they are fully furnished. I have yet to find similar places in Brazil that would be so easy to move into. There is a place in Porto Alegre that I found: http://www.shortstaybrazil.com/ And, in Brazil in general: http://www.vrbo.com/ But, most of these are looking for short stays of a week or a month as opposed to one year or longer and some don't give decent rates for even a long term stay. I would prefer to live in Rio or Sao Paulo in Brazil but I have found that the apartments there require a one year upfront payment which I just won't do unless you have a Brazil guarantor. I guess my real preference is Sao Paulo as I find it easy to get around there and I know it a bit better than I do Rio but either place would be find. I did look at Porto Alegre and I know I would love the boys but I think I would be very isolated and not be able to make "English speaking" friends. Another reason I love Thailand is the abundance of foreigners that live here it is so easy to find "friends" to hang out with from time to time that are not working boys. And, as I only speak English, that makes it harder to communicate with the locals. Lastly, a visa is not a problem for me in Brazil. I have the ability to stay in the country for an unlimited time frame and do not have to worry about exiting the country every few months. This site lists the countries price index. While Paris is my first city of choice, it is way to expensive for me as I am trying to save money as opposed to living in NYC. http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Brazil I am also open to other place but I must have a local array of working boys that are easy for me to meet, greet and fall in love with. So, there you have it. That is my story. Help and advice and chastisement is greatly appreciated!

It is the 1812 Overture. That was me playing it. I was using a special device I created. Glad you two enjoyed this!

Congratulations to Fountainhall! He had the image with the most likes at the end of the month! Thank you to all who participated!

This was made from my apartment tonight. I hope you like it!

PHUKET: The World Justice Project (WJP) ranked Thailand 80th among 97 countries in delivering effective civil justice in its international Rule of Law Index 2012 report issued on Wednesday. However, despite the low ranking in dispensing civil justice, the report also recognized Thailand’s strong performance in the control of crime and in serving criminal justice. According to the report, “Thailand earns high marks on absence of crime and effectiveness of the criminal justice system (ranking 35th globally and seventh among its income peers). However, civil conflict and political violence are significant problems… “The country’s lowest scores are in the dimension of civil justice (ranking 80th), partly because of delays in processing cases and difficulties in enforcing court decisions.” The report noted that Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore lead the East Asia & Pacific region in most dimensions of the rule of law. http://www.phuketgazette.net/thailandnews/2012/Thailand-News-World-Justice-report-ranks-Kingdom-80th-in-serving-civil-justice-19602.html http://worldjusticeproject.org/rule-of-law-index/

It may just be the start of an incredibly busy weekend but the traffic today, even in daytime, was horrific. Driving a motorbike, it took me over an hour to get down one area. Be careful!

LOL So sorry guys! It was Loy Kratong in Thailand and the boys and I celebrated a bit. The number of posts is for the entirety of the contest and not each month. But, I guess I was just hoping I wouldn't be required to answer and people could assume what they wished and post more. One of the boys in your photo looks very familiar!

Z, I completely agree. Cleaner bathrooms etc. But, with just a little effort and not too much money, the other soi could be very similar. It is just not important to them. I guess the question is why?

We are at the end of the best kiss contest. You can "vote" by liking any photo. You can live as many as you want. Voting ends soon! Vote while you can! Topic is pinned at the top of this forum!

I have a solution for you! Bring Andre here! He would love the boys and the attention. They would eat him up! Can't wait for you to come over and visit!

Half a million have Aids virus |but numbers adding up every hour; campaigns hamstrung by government indifference In Thailand, at least one person becomes HIV-positive every hour, joining a million others who have been infected with the Aids virus in the country over the past two decades. Despite the national campaign launched more than 20 years ago, HIV infections have been growing steadily. The Public Health Ministry estimates that more than a million people have been infected over the past two decades, and only about 464,414 of them are still alive. The key reasons for this increase are that many people still indulge in unsafe sex and not many undergo tests. In 2011, studies showed that 44 per cent of every 100,000 Thais were infected with sexually transmitted diseases, compared to 29 per cent in 2007. According to Public Health Ministry data, about 62 per cent of those infected with the HIV virus are men who have sex with men, sex workers and drug users. It is estimated that about 80 per cent of new cases are caused by unprotected sex and about 300,000 people have the tendency to be carriers of the virus. "They never think that they will be at risk if they don't use condoms," said Dr Pornthep Siriwanarangsan, director-general of the Disease Control Department. In addition to these alarming facts, Thais have been starting to have sex at a very young age. A recent survey on teenage sexual behaviour found that about 20 per cent of girls lose their virginity at the age of 12, while 40 per cent become sexually active at 16.

Thank you eeyore. These were all taken in Pattaya. The young man is not the boyfriend that lives with me. He lived me me in the past but not currently. He is a great guy and very handsome and sweet. He works at a local gogo bar called Funny Boys.

Last night it rained as it has so many times in the past few months. I was in the Boyztown area and as I was walking down past Funny Boys and that area, the streets were cleared of water puddles and rain. Yes, I have watched many times in the past this process sitting at Cafe Royale and the doormen and workers of all the various bars on that street as they sweep the water into the drainage areas to clean it up for customers. In stark contrast, the other soi is filled with water after a rain all night. They never sweep or try to make the area easy for people walking in the area. It was not just one night but I have noticed this 10 times over the past 2 months. Why can one soi be so efficient and organized and the other one just not give a rat's ass? It seems so trivial but it really does reveal a great deal about the two areas.

I have heard from several friends that the new owners of Krazy Dragon have gotten off to a good start. They have recruited many new boys and the place was hopping when they were in there. If anyone has been there and has some reports feel free to share! I'll try to get over this weekend as well.

hitoallusa, he is not gay. But, he is available for short times and long times. Many of the guys here are not gay but work in the bars. He is great fun and very very sweet and has a really beautiful cock! Thank you for the compliments on the photo. Much appreciated!

I sat down for breakfast this AM to the Bangkok Post and read the story about the rainy season and how it is going to continue for a while. I have never seen it last this long. I have friends that are avid golfers and they have been golfing the last few weeks and they said this was the worst year in their memory (over 20 years) coming to Thailand this time of year for golfing. Yesterday, in Pattaya, the rains keep pouring down as Loy Krathong was about to get started. Walking about Boyztown later, the water was still on the streets in puddles! http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/323598/unusually-heavy-rain-to-persist-into-winter

I have flown 6 of the 10 and I agree Singapore is the best. My disappointment with Thai is their new configuration in the A380. I wish they had the stand up bar area in the back like Korean Air has in Business Class. I find that a real treat on an International flight.
