LOL I am not sure who you are and why you are so critical of things. hummm. Are you really a new poster? I doubt it!

I have no problem removing the pinned request. I would like to see more input from others on this. What do other posters think about this? Is it time to open up the other forums?

I am enjoying this adventure so much. You write like I'm there as I can picture the venues and the boys. Thank you! Keep having fun! Do you go to the Hippie Faire this Sunday? I hope it doesn't rain for you as that is one of my favorite things to do on Sunday. I have bought some nice painting there over the years.

I was in X Boys 2 weeks ago and it was pretty bland. But, the waiter we knew told us there were fresh new boys from Issan so we went in and he was telling the truth. There were at least 20 new boys on stage that I have never seen before and the bland turned into hot! It is always amazing to me how fast the bars change from bad to good and vice versa. Future Boys was once my favorite place in Bangkok. I loved it there. Now, it is almost a ghost town. X Boys is a friend's favorite place and I have always enjoyed it but it is on and off like cold water. It was nice to see that this week, it was back on! I also hit Super A boys again and had a lot of fun. Dream Boys was great as usual and I found several there I liked but at 300 baht a drink, it is almost crazy to even ask a boy to sit and have a drink. It is turned into more of a show bar only and not a gogo bar even though they have hot boys, I don't feel like paying 300 baht for a boy to have a drink to see what he is like.

Based on your post, I got the VIP room today. Wow! It was great. I had 2 boys in the room with me for an hour and they charged me 1150 baht. I guess the room is 1000 like you said, but I wonder where the extra 150 baht came from? Maybe a second boy? Anyway, I have a great masseur there I like that I have been with 3 times this week. I had him and another gay boy today and had a blast. The large bed is perfect for 3 people as we all fit on it and sex was so much easier in this room than on a massage table. I keep LOVING Hero! Thanks for the suggestion of the VIP room. I really enjoyed it!

I laughed when I first heard the premise of the show but man, it has got lots of drama for those of us who like it. I have now starting watch Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. Anyone else like the show? or hate the show?

Many Thai boys are looking for boyfriends. But, be careful to be clear in your expectations up front. A few questions: How long are you going to be in Pattaya? What type of boy do you like? Have you been to Thailand before?

Ben Cohen is a world-class English rugby star, and Hudson Taylor is a three-time college all-American wrestler. They live on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. They barely know each other. But they have something quite unusual in common. They may be the only two high-profile heterosexual athletes dedicating their lives to the issues of bullying and homophobia in sports. The question that each one frequently gets — besides “Are you gay?” — is why are they involved in something that does not directly impact them, or so it would seem. That is just the point, they said. In much the same way that the hockey player Sean Avery’s recent endorsement of gay marriage resonated in large part because it came from an unexpected source, their sexual orientation helps the message cross to broader audiences, Cohen and Taylor said. “It’s massively important,” Cohen said Friday in New York, a stopover on a cross-country campaign for his fledgling Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation. “Massively. Of course it is. I’m the other side of that bridge.” Gay slurs have emerged into the public consciousness recently. The Los Angeles Lakers’ star Kobe Bryant used one against an N.B.A. referee and was fined $100,000. The Atlanta Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell was said to have made homophobic gestures and remarks to fans in San Francisco, and was suspended by Major League Baseball for two weeks. Widespread criticism of both men was seen as cultural progress by gay-rights supporters. But in a world where no active American athletes in a major male team sport has declared his homosexuality, it remains rare for athletes to chime in on the issue of gay rights. Recent exceptions, beyond Avery, include Grant Hill and Jared Dudley of the Phoenix Suns, who recorded a public-service announcement decrying gay slurs in sports. Cohen and Taylor are going much further. Cohen, 32, just retired from a rugby career that included a World Cup title for England in 2003 and more than a decade with the Northampton Saints. Despite being married with 3 ½-year-old twin daughters, he has long had a huge following among gay fans. “They probably see me as a sex object, I suppose,” he said. His shirtless photographs have done little to squelch his popularity. With the surge in the use of social media in recent years, Cohen — whose Facebook page has been “liked” by more than 150,000 people — began hearing more and more personal accounts from fans who have felt ostracized for being gay. Some said they quit sports because of the harassment, or had been shamed into staying closeted, unable to find support from friends, family and teammates. “It brings me to bloody tears,” he said, as he read a few e-mails aloud. He wore a T-shirt that read, “I stand up with Ben Cohen,” and included his silhouette as a logo. But his quest to get involved is even more personal. In 2000, Cohen’s father, Peter, was attacked by several young men outside the nightclub he owned. He sustained severe injuries, including bite marks to his face, and died a few weeks later. With those experiences as a backdrop, Cohen started this year what he believes is the first anti-bullying organization led by a straight athlete aimed at helping the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. After a couple recent stops in England, he is promoting the campaign in Washington, Atlanta, Seattle and New York in the next two weeks. Beyond raising his family on his English farm, he plans on making the foundation his post-career priority. “I can say something, and it can be so little for me,” said Cohen, scheduled to be a celebrity presenter at Saturday’s Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation awards in San Francisco. “But it can be so powerful for tens of thousands of people.” For the entire article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/14/sports/two-straight-athletes-combat-homophobia.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss

LOL Fountainhall. I didn't really understand the OP until I read your post and then went to that site. I don't really understand all the name history of most talked about. However, you deserve the award for best sense of humor. And, HeyGay and LMTU tie for most unreadable posts.

That boy was dessert, not lunch. I had already eaten that day!

With age, goes eyesight. That was us dear, in drag. Here is a pic for your memory book!

Where's Elvis?

Happy Birthday!

I went into Dream Boys tonight and had a good time. Before I even sat down there was a sexy boy on stage that I thought was hot. He was muscular and had a nice 6 pack. Just the type of muscle boy I like. I slipped him a 100 baht note while he was on stage. On the next go around, I commented to friends how sexy he was. He said to the mamasan that he knew me and had been with me before in Pattaya. He said he remembered my butterfly tattoo! Shocked I tell you! He said he worked at Tum Yum in Pattaya and I had taken him from there years ago. While I don't remember this, he was insistent. I was even more turned on than my first glance. Alas, my heart belongs to another! My own Dream Boy is headed to Bangkok to stay with me so I am saving up my energy!

I was out and about tonight and went to X Boys after the mamasan told my friend they sent a bus to Issan to get new boys. I hear the story so often I don't even believe it anymore. Well, I was wrong. I went in and there were tons of sexy boys that have only been there a short time. If you are a regular in Bangkok and been waiting for some new boys on the Soi, drop by X Boys and see the hot new boys!

Jim's temple ceremony will be on May 14 2011 Saturday (tomorrow) at 16:00. Should be be there about 1 hour before if possible. Temple name is Tham Sa Makke . Located right at the Sukhumvit and South Pattaya road intersection. Coming from Bangkok you usually turn right to enter the South Pattaya road but for the temple you have to turn left on the light signal.

The stock on the IPads is not consistent and you have to be at the right store at the right time. Apparently, they are shipping the IPads everyday at at one of the IStudio stores.

I hope that Scotty does not win. I have not liked him since he was part of that group that kicked out the gay kid in the early days of this season.

Interesting. This has not even crossed my mind.

If you know a man named Jim, he had trouble seeing and usually had a Thai boy with him to help him navigate through the streets. He is always hanging around Sunee Plaza and has lunch and dinner at Mr. Z's Salt and Pepper restaurant almost daily. I don't know the funeral arrangements yet but I have been told his dear friend is helping with the arrangements. As soon as I know more, I'll let you know. Jim was always friendly and happy and despite his Diabetes taking away so many things in his life, he kept going on and moving forward and spending time with the great guys in Pattaya. He will be missed. RIP Jim

Wow. There are some amazing fares here. I have never flown on Air Asia. Are they about the same as Thai? or other airlines?

I sent him a message but it was bounced back to my e-mail. If someone is friends with him, can you forward to him? ElephantSpike, I read that you were giving up the board. It makes no sense to just let it die. You worked hard on it and should get something out of it. May I suggest that you have an auction for it? NameJet.com or Sedo.com is the best places for this. I do a lot of networking with people buying names and will be happy to get the word out to those that buy gay domain names. In any case, I hope you are well and that you will be able to successfully move on to something great. Michael

I don't know if the operation was legal or not. But, fuck his sons anyway!

The IPad 2 is in stock but selling out very fast at the IStudios in Bangkok. They said they would get another shipment in tomorrow. My friend was just there and he wants the 3G but they were all gone. They did have some wifi only left in stock. For those of you waiting for these at regular prices (not MBK markup prices) they are now here. By the time you get the VAT refund, it may be the same or a bit cheaper than in USA.
