Went with the boys to Siam Paragon for lunch. I am always amazed at how many people actually go there on the weekends. We had to walk around about 20 minutes downstairs before we were able to find a table and it was sheer luck we found one. Paragon must be making a mint as every time I go there are an abundance of people there. The majority of which are Thais. I realize the cost of the food court is not great but I always see tons line up for Krispy Kreme Donuts and I see lots of bags that were from upstairs. Last week I need to do some shopping for the BF and we went to the Paragon Store to buy some clothes, etc. Again, as a farang, we are in the minority and as we sat looking at shoes there are 6 sales to Thais. The shoes they were buying were all the same price range as I was looking to buy for the BF and that is over 3,000 baht. Specifically, one guy bought a 7,000 baht pair of shoes. I realize that I continue to be surprised at the money being spent and I have said many times that Thais have money. It is obvious to me every time I go out and go shopping.

haha. So, I guess you think that pic of Frank Marino is masculine? Now, that I know your definition of masculine, I can state with confidence that I am the most masculine man YOU know!

I love that the great debate is about one sentence in my post from yesterday. I did talk about poor service at Mango Tree and a lot about Super A. I like ladyboys and I like gay boys and I like manly men. I have gone with all of them over the years. I prefer a manly man for company, a gay boy for sex and ladyboys to add to the threesome. I don't have a prejudice in the way I refer to them. I was using the terminology of the boys that were with me last night. I didn't think it cause anyone to get upset. Since it did, I'll change my statement. Go up several posts and replace: Solid had about 8 dancers and all were ladyboys. With: Solid had about 8 dancers and all were the absolute most overly feminine gay queens I have ever seen on stage with the exception of La Cage in Las Vegas. Whew. That was easy now wasn't it? So, now that I didn't call them ladyboys, I hope others don't get so upset.

Wilson Jermaine Heredia is amazing. I saw Rent when he was in it at least 30 times. Back then, you could get the front row seats for under 20 dollars if you were first in line. I did it many weekends. I'd take my law school books down and sleep the night away and study and wait for the tickets. I met him several times. The best was walking down 8th Avenue to my pad back then and there was a boy in front of me singing to a girl. I butted in and told him he had a beautiful voice. He turned around to say thanks and it was him. I told him how much I loved his voice and his role. He asked my favorite song and he sang it for me on the street. He didn't stop moving but I listened to him sing as we walked. I thanked him at the end and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He was so down to earth and gracious to have an old man fawning over him.

2 years? You are senile old man! Do you remember the first boy that lived with me in Thailand? That was on my second trip here. Less than 4 months in Thailand total. You call him a ladyboy? You introduced me. You have such poor memory! And, you didn't answer any of my questions earlier either. You can't have it both ways! Fact is, you loose! Period. End of discussion. Debate over. I win! Thank you very much! And, you are right, it is way past my bedtime. So goodnight! I'll let you continue the debate by yourself. You at least have a shot that way.

My prejudice or your ignorance? Not sure to be honest. As I like having sex with men, gay boys and ladyboys and an occasional lady, I don't think I have a prejudice. But, as you seem to want to state you are as knowledgeable from 8 thousand miles away from Solid as I am being in the establishment last night, I'd say you don't have a leg to stand on. FOOD FOR THOUGHT?????????

I don't doubt that at all. I have seen men there before. But, last night, there were none. The only boys there were very very fem boys. Not one masculine boy in the entire place when I was there.

You are totally incorrect. They call a gay boy the kinds of guys that work at Come In Bar in Pattaya. They know what a gay boy is. The ones last night were not gay boys. They were ladyboys without boob jobs. You know how to tell? Ask them if you pay for a boob job if they will take it. I bet they would. EVERY one of them last night! Now, as your butt was not in my seat last night, you don't know do you? You can guess. You can assume. But, you know what they say about assuming? I went back to ask the boys tonight if I was wrong when I said the ones working were ladyboys. They said no. I told them you said I was nuts. They said, you "didn't have good eyesight" and suggested I take you to get a new prescription.

Well, I'll give it to you, they were all on the fem side last night. I had 2 very manly guys with me who love ladyboys. I asked them how many of the "boys" working were gay boys and how many were ladyboys. They said, "all ladyboys." Now, I know you have trouble telling the two apart, but 5 of the 8 were more feminine than my ex in NYC and he is a drag queen diva! LOL

Happy Birthday John!

I was there again last night. We went to Super A boys and Solid. We had eaten at Mango Tree and I thought it would be fairly inexpensive but one of the boys ordered 2 dishes to share and each was over 500 baht so for 3 to eat the cost was 2800.00. They include service in the total so I have 3,000 baht and waited for change. And, waited. And, waited. After 20 minutes I asked for the change again and they brought me another bin. At this point, I was not happy and told them I have already paid and was waiting for change. They returned about 5 minutes later with the 200 baht change. If it had been good service, I would most likely have just left the 200 there but I had to ask 3 times for another drink and things were just not working right last night. First time I have had poor service there. I hope this is not the direction the place is moving. Super A was fun but there were only a few boys on stage. As soon as drinks are ordered they all got off stage. I had brought up a boy from Myanmar from the massage place downstairs so I sat and chatted with him. The best thing to do is to bring one or more of those boys up. For 100 baht a drink, it is worth it. Solid had about 8 dancers and all were ladyboys.

Absurd IMHO. I occasionally have pussy and that does not make me straight or bi. I love gay men and gay sex but if I have a cute couple who offers up both of them for dinner, I'll take both the meat and the tuna and a little ass for desert. But, this case is nuts. I think most men are bisexual in some manner. I am 95 percent gay and 5 percent straight. I don't often indulge in the forbidden fruit but when I do, I enjoy it and it is not up to the judge to decide if I am gay or not. IMHO

The new TNT series Franklin and Bash had a scene were Mark got out of the hot tub naked. This guy has one amazing ass! I thought I saw something slinging between the knees as well but I'll have to watch the series premiere one more time to be sure! What the clip here: http://jezebel.com/5807852/whats-with-franklin--bashs-sexist-vibe Forget the horrible reviews, the bad acting, etc. This show has his ass in all hits glory!

Glad you are OK and got to see some games. I was beginning to get worried myself. Sorry about the wallet. I know that sucks. BUT, if you don't have ID anymore, how do we know this is our Lucky and not the person who took his ID?

Really? And you took 45 min to drink a beer? Not like my friends from UK. They tear down 4 before I finish one. JK

LOL Great visual. I did think that this week's Game of Thrones ended great. So much suspense. Can't wait to see what happens to the little blond bastard and the queen cunt.

Yes, he will. I think this is supposed to be a new generation of Ewings.

Shawshank was fabulous! An amazing movie and great acting from beginning to end.

When census gatherers went door-to-door visiting 5.6 million households across Nepal this month, they collected information not only on the country's men and women, but also on a so-called third gender. In what is believed to be a world first, Nepal's Central Bureau of Statistics is giving official recognition to gay and transgender people -- a move seen as major victory for equality in a country that only decriminalized homosexual relationships three years ago. Among those happy to stand up and be counted in the third gender category is Dilu Buduja, 35. "I was born as a girl, but as I grew up I felt I was a boy. Today I totally feel like a man," he said. A spokesman for the statistics bureau, Bikash Bista, said the new categorization was an attempt to open up the traditionally conservative country up to different points of view.

How about: "Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little shit just like you."

FH, I have a washer and dryer in the place. The problem is operating it. I have ruined 3 loads already and I quit! I am not made for this kind of work.

Welcome to the site!

Thanks for the review. As there are so many more Russian's and those from that area that are arriving in Pattaya, I am not surprised that the number of these restaurants keep increasing. Many years ago, I sponsored a family of Russian Jews to come to America. This was 20 years ago. They thanked me over and over by cooking some of the most amazing dishes I have ever tasted. It was so amazing and it was the type of food I have never tasted.

I admit I am spoiled to have the laundry people in Pattaya do my laundry cheaply. I am now in Bangkok in the Sathorn area and I can't find one place that is reasonable. The hotel was 120 baht per item. The laundries in the neighborhood want 40-90 per item. Considering I pay only 200 baht for my pants, this is just not something I am going to do. Anyone who lives in Bangkok have recommendations on the best way to find a decent laundry place? My blue socks (I tried unsuccessfully to wash and dry myself) would be most appreciative.
