I have been in Asia for about 7 weeks now and I am having a great trip. I have stayed in about 9 hotels on this trip. The old hotels have normal bathrooms. But, just about EVERY new hotel I stay in has either a glass bathroom or sliding doors to open up to the room. Now, I admin, I would love it if all I wanted to do was to take a jacuzzi while watch TV. But, for me, I use the bathroom for other things and I like them private. I don't want others watching my shit. And, I would have bee terrified when I was younger and staying in the room with my parents if this were the case. Yes, I know the rooms have blinds. But, not are 100 percent blind. I just would not like this if I were with a family. Why is this the trend?

R&B singer and hip-hop artist Frank Ocean is the latest celebrity to open up about his sexuality, revealing to fans in a post on his Tumblr that his first love was a man. http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/04/frank-ocean-opens-up-on-sexuality-in-new-album/?hpt=hp_t2 I am still in Asia and I was chatting with a guy at the pool yesterday about Anderson Cooper coming out and I said the major barrier that has yet been burned down for gays is Hip Hop and Professional Athletes. I know some are out but as more come out, it makes live easier on all. Loving that Ocean came out!

The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud. http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/07/anderson-cooper-the-fact-is-im-gay.html

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember this young man and he was always smiling and sweet. My most sincere condolences.

Sure. It was the one in Jomtien near the Immigration Office. It is right across from the beach. They were very quick and easy to work with.

I am not surprised at this as I use K bank and I was turned down by several branches and I finally found one in Pattaya that said yes and no problem. It depends on the branch you go to. You do need a visa that is longer than 30 days or at least that is what they told me. Even with my 1 year, many K banks said no but a few said yes and I had to open a new account not try to add Internet Banking to an old account.

I use K Bank mostly because all the guys I know used it. I also transfer money to Thai BF's accounts often. I have no problem doing this with K Bank. I set up weekly deposits to the BF and it goes very easy. I can set that up for one year in advance. If I want to do an additional one, I turn on my Thai cell phone and when they send the code, I simply punch it in. Also, I love I can set up Mobile phone payments for all my "special guys." I just click on their number I have saved and it sends them 500 baht (or any amount you choose). I find it very easy to do all this from USA. But, I have a Thai cell phone that I keep active.

Me. In a heart beat I'd trade.

I have a few friends that are part of the higher ups with the Yellow Shirts. I have known them for over 20 years and back to my undergrad days. I had dinner with them recently and they predicted that there would be more fighting in the next 1-2 months. According to them, the government is going to try to find a way for Thaskin to get his money back if if that happens, all bets are off with regard to how big the hatred will get. Being state side for a long time, I had not heard much about this recently and I guess I thought it was a thing of the past. I thought when the new Prime Minister was elected that the people knew she would try to get the money back for her brother. Am I wrong? Also, for those that know this country and politics more than I do, can you envision more fighting in the coming months?

Divorced? I am shocked. Shocked I tell you! I wonder who his church will arrange for him next?

Bill Maher did a great shtick this week and offered up all the possible running mates and concluded he should be Mitt's VP nominee. At least with Bill, we might get legalization of weed passed.

IMPOSSIBLE MsGuy! We all know the mother to that child is Angela Channing from Falcon Crest.

LOL I like the idea of a contest. I'm always a sucker for things like this. But, the tea cups in that photo make me even more dizzy than I was after a bottle of gin!

The Aloft is a nice hotel on Soi 11 near the Bed Supper Club. I have friends that stayed there and really liked it.

I went into the old Jim Jimmy James last night and it was a lot of fun for me. The new Thai owner who said they had owned it and opened for less than a week was there and spoke to us. He has a very nice command of the English language. The mamasan is the one that Jimm had many years ago. The place looks great and still as clean as ever. The TV's are gone but the rest looks nice. They had about 15 boys that I counted last night. Most were gay boys and a few ladyboys but there were also a few man boys. We had one man boy named Bird over for a drink and had a great conversation. He has been in town for 2 days but use to work at Euroboys. I had a really nice time at this bar and I hope it does well and succeeds.

James, I am in Thailand at the moment and I had a chance to see your magazine in a restaurant. It was really beautiful and well done! Keep up the great work!

BKKGUY, thanks for the detailed report on this. Much appreciated. May I ask why you don't like the IPad? Great. Thanks. Please let me know after you have played with it for a while. I'd be most curious to see what you think after you have had it for a bit.

LOL Wow. I guess I have bad tastes if this is the top 100.

haha I am happy for this ruling. It just brings tears to my eyes to think America is growing up.

Tom, Happy Birthday! Your presence here makes us all happier, healthier and hornier! Thank you!

TY, your words are also my sentiments. I have voted in every election for this reason. And, as much as I bitch and moan about Obama, I know I'll show up and vote for the above reason. On the front page of CNN there was a lady holding a sign saying "Obamacare is immoral" OMG, how is that possible? Healing others is immoral? Isn't that what Christianity taught? The religious nuts are really getting to me. They are about as stupid as my Maltese and he is fucking slower than a turtle.

And, how to you like it? Worth it?
