Richard's is closing!

My partner and I have been working hard to effect some changes on the site. We will be rolling out two of these changes in the next week. The top advertising banners on the site never took off and after almost one year, we have decided to change this area. The City Guide listings are old and outdated and needed to be revamped. We have completed the code for this area and will be finishing some beta testing this week and launching it very soon. The area will be incorporated into the forums and will allow us to keep better tabs on closed businesses and remove them from the listings. We have hired a group to redo the profile area of the site and they have been working on this area. It is not yet completed but will be done by end of August. We want to thank the members of the forum for all their support. We hope to continue to grow the site this year and in the years to come. Best Regards, Scooby Please take note of the announcement regarding the server move. This will be done next week and may cause the site to be down for one day.

Lesson 9 of 10 Lessons Learned by a Traveler to Gay Thailand If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain. I get so tired of people complaining about the boys in Thailand or there are too many ladyboys or not enough "man boys." We all have our preference and while I may not like the same type of boy that you like, there are those that will like that one boy on the stage you would never go with. If you can't find a boy in the bars in Thailand, whether it be the Pattaya gay bars in Boyztown or in Sunee Plaza or in Bangkok's gay boy area, then you are too fucking picky and need to go back to Iowa. That is the same place where the leading Republican's in the next Presidential race are gaining ground when they talk anti-gay. Thailand is paradise. There are tons of sexy boys out there. Get off your ass and find it. If you have gone through all the boys you like and you only like newbies, then rent a car and drive across the country. Don't complain that there are no virgins in town. Don't complain there are too many ladyboys in the bars. It is OK to go to a bar and give a report that the place was slow, no cute boys on stage, etc. But, if you don't find what you want, go to another bar or jump on gayromeo or another hook up site. You will find a boy faster in Thailand than in any other place on earth. And, if you can't get the boys to go with you, perhaps you need to understand that perhaps you are just an asshole. The boys talk and the avoid the farangs that are cheap charlies or that treat the boys bad. I agree that the quality of the boys in the bars have gone down. But, still, I have been out at least 100 times this year and there is not one time that I was unable to find a boy I would be happy with. But, I also don't limit myself to one bar or one area. If Boyztown doesn't have a boy I want, I'll head to Sunee. If I can't find one in the bars in Sunee, perhaps my diabetes is getting the better of my eyesight. In order to keep the boys flocking to the bars, it is up to us to treat them like the true gems they are. Treat them well and be kind to them. In return, you will be introduced to their friends and family. Every time I have said to the boys I know, "there is no one here I want to go with." They always say, "I have a boy for you, you want me to call him and we meet him for drinks." Why? I am good to the boys I am with. I treat them well. I pay well. I show them respect. I have never once treated a boy like a piece of meat. I treat them like they are the most important thing on earth (even if only for one night).

Breaking Bad hooked me on the first episode. It is most defiantly my crack!

Do you think Rebekah Brooks knew about the phone hacking? What will happen to the Murdochs and the rest of News Corporation? I think Rupert's wife said Rebekah was an evil bitch for destroying their empire (or something along those lines). Will she turn in Papa Bear or Baby Bear?

Lesson 8: 10 Lessons Learned by a Traveler to Gay Thailand Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." There are many big things to see in Thailand that one must do. The King's Palace in Bangkok, the Tiger Farms, Elephant Rides, etc. But, the way to truly experience Thailand is off the beaten path. Go with your boyfriend or a good Thai friend to their hometown and spend a weekend. Meet the family and get to know where the boys live. Eat food you have not eaten before, get drunk at Karaoke one night and let loose. My bike trip from Chiang Mai to Phuket was amazing to me as I went through at least 100 places that most people that travel to Thailand never get to see. Not because they can't see it but only because it is not in the Trip Advisor guides. I hiked the highest peak in Thailand, went inside temples of vast beauty from ancient days and met people that rarely see someone white. The Ubon Candle Festival is a must see if you are in Thailand at the right time. Experiencing Loy Krathong outside of the major tourist places is also quiet charming. People that think Thailand is all about eating the Sunday Brunch at the Intercontinental or shopping at Siam Paragon are missing out on the true magic of Thailand. Don't get me wrong, I love the brunch at the Intercontinental and I love shopping at Siam Paragon but those are not things that are typical Thailand. As Thailand is becoming more and more westernized, there is still so much to see that has not been tarnished by our hands. Take a train ride to Chiang Mai the next time you go as opposed to flying. When you go to Hua Hin, hire a bike tour guide to take you on a day trip around the area that is so full of beauty. When you go to Phuket, hire a long boat to take you to a deserted beach and spend the day relaxing and reading. For those that are retired here, spend some time every year doing something you have never done before. Go on a trip to a city you have not been. The Thai people are amazing and they welcome you everywhere.

The beach sand is great for walking or jogging. It is easier on the joints and your heart rate is higher when exercising on sand. It is a win win. But, get up and finished before 7:30 in the morning is not possible for me. I have tried and had little success. One day maybe I'll be able to do this! There are lots of gyms in Pattaya. California Wow at the Avenue is great. Tony's is very good and has many locations. The Marriott also offers memberships. There is always a place to work out in any city. It takes a bit of research to find what you like. I like the Marriott as it is quite and small. California Wow is loud and I can't think when I'm there but I still go there when in Pattaya. I hope our stars align one day are are able to meet up!

I agree Lurker. But, isn't Marco excellent?

And, his darling Rebekah Brooks has just been arrested in connection with the scandal. She had an interview with the police and when she showed up, they arrested her on suspicion of corruption and phone hacking. This was the lady that Rupert flew to England and made his top priority. Looks like the dominoes keep falling for poor old Rupert.

OK. I love this show and I watch it religiously. If you are also watching it, who do you think is going to win at this point in time? You can pick only one.

Man says blood center rejected him because he appeared gay. This has caused quite an uproar on many websites. The man, Aaron Pace, says he is not gay but looked gay. The blood center rejected him. Read the story here: http://www.suntimes.com/news/6495246-452/man-says-blood-center-rejected-him-because-he-appeared-gay.html Do you think that Gay/Bi Men should be allowed to give blood?

I love the ladyboys and the photos. IMHO, the ladyboy bars are the best run in Thailand. They make more money and the customers are always having fun. I haven't been in a gay bar like that in a long time. Keep it up ladyboys!

Lesson 7: Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. ~Plato It is so easy to get into a rut in gay Thailand. Sitting in the local beer bar chatting is great fun. I often do that and have plans to do other things but the chatting is fun and one hour turns into two and two turns into three. Getting around in gay Pattaya or Thailand in general is so easy that one forgets that they can walk. Baht Buses and Motorcycle taxis are easy to find. Many live within walking distances of where they want to go and yet take a bike there. Hell, I use to live in Day Night 2 and take a bike to Sunee Plaza. It is only a 5 minute walk but I was too lazy to do the walk. Walking is healthy and fun and you meet so many cute guys on the journey. Why waste a chance at passing up meeting Mr. Right because you wanted to get there 5 minutes faster? Exercising is not about loosing weight (although for me that is a great benefit) but it makes you feel better and gives you more energy to do the naughty things in life we all enjoy so much. There are so many ways in Thailand to get a bit of extra actively and it will keep you going stronger longer. Walk to the store to get your beer. Take a bicycle trip. Swim in the pool. A few years back I took a trip from Chiang Mai to Phuket on a bicycle. Not only did it get my heart rate up and help with my constant struggle for weight loss, it was one hell of a fun trip. I got to see Thailand in a way few others ever well (more on that in the next Lesson). I also took a great trip to Issan with 2 boyfriends a few years back. It was so much fun for all of us. We loved it and we got into shape doing it. Getting a bit more physical actively will make you a better lover in bed (most important). It will keep you living longer and it takes just a little exertion on your part. Whether it is a bike ride, a rock climbing trip, or just watching the sexy boys work out at California Wow or your local gym. You can have great fun while getting into shape. I guarantee you that the hottest boys are in the gyms! Get on an exercise bike or a treadmill and watch the hot boy toys pumping iron!

Thanks. I agree, no need to limit to 10. There is a Crossword Puzzle app on the IPad that I use. I love it. It downloads 15-20 new crossword puzzles every day. It times you on how long it takes and offers hints in case you get stuck. I have used this more than any other app and I love it. If you like puzzles, the IPad is the best thing on earth to get access to hundreds of them. I totally agree. I have yet to found something like this in Thailand. When I was in NYC, I volunteered at God's Love We Deliver that made meals for shut ins with AIDS. I loved the group I was with and we met one day every week and spent many hours cooking and talking. Afterwards, we would go out for drinks and chatting more. On many days, my only job was to peel carrots or to break beans. It was kind of boring but with our group of crazy characters, it was the highlight of my week! If I ever make Thailand my permanent home, I hope to find something similar.

I think his downfall is falling from the graces of politicians. He may have once been the king maker or Prime Minister maker of GB. Through his papers, he has immense power. I am not sure that will be the case for the future. I guess only time will tell, but I see him as fallen from power in GB. I hope that same happens in the USA.

Thanks Thaiworthy. I am glad you like the thread. I understand about the faithful to the BF idea. I did that long ago. I just find for me it never lasts. Everyone has rules in their relationship for it to last long term. Some vacation apart and some just don't talk about their soirees. I tell every boy I meet in Thailand that I am a butterfly and I will never be with just one guy. But, I'll always be honest. I also give them the same latitude. I find it horrible to act one way and expect them to act another. All my exes had girlfriends or ladyboys and I was OK with that and even included them on many of our trips and outtings. As long as the relationship does not interfere with my good time, it is really OK with me. As far as an outline, can't do it. I had over 30 of these little things in my diary and am trying to condense down to 10. Still a long way to go. I agreed with all you said but this passage really was important to me. I have a few posts I regret making and once written, they are hard to retract. But, like a group of friends, that happens as well. Spending a few years in law school in New York, my best friends today were the ones that I argued with 20 years ago. We all have different opinions and come to the table with a vastly different history. I love hearing from those whose experiences are different than mine and I hope that you and others will contribute more. A message board is a living breathing thing and I love this board. I agree. Some of the best posters start out as lurkers. I never posted on boards until one day I started posting on the now defunct male4maleescorts.com board. I grew to love the board and I met tons of posters and today, many of my travel buddies came from that board. At first, I simply read the board to get information on escorts in NYC. Once I started posting, a new world opened up to me and I met some of the greatest guys on earth. Thanks so much! Like you, I wish I had found this place 20 years before I did.

Lesson 6: To live a long life in gay Thailand, be sure to challenge your brain on a daily basis. In the beginning, the gods of gay Thailand gave me a great group of guys to talk to. But, they told the same stories over and over. One guy, told me the same story at least 400 times. Not to me directly but to others in the group when a new person would come along. My mind began to die. I think one of the healthiest things to do in LOS is to meet different people. Talk to them and get to know them. It helps keep your mind alert. Instead of sitting at the same set of chairs every night, try another bar. Instead of the same buffet every Monday, try a place you have never been to or even heard about. Today, I met a group of guys from Singapore and we sat around the pool for a few hours and chatted. Last week, I met a few girls from Australia and we were able to have dinner together one night and I really enjoyed my experience with them. Each person you meet, if intelligent, will stimulate your mind. For me, I love doing crossword puzzles. I do at least 2 every day and have for years. I also like playing chess and have an active game on my computer constantly. I also make sure I read a new book every week. I'd love for this to be every day, but I just can't find the time. I also love a good debate or conversation on the message boards. I find them stimulating and I find that actual discussion as opposed to lurking takes you to a different level. It is easy to please your dick in sin city or in gay Thailand in general but in order to keep your dick happy for a long period of time, exercise your mind as well. Keep it active. Take up new hobbies. Learn Thai. Practice Buddhism. Do the things that you enjoy to keep your mind as active as your dick is.
