LOL Thank you for the chuckle as I woke up. It made a great start to my day. But, what cute boy in Palm Springs hasn't had Lucky? Now, you are going global? I am also very glad you are not running for President. I think you would be great but it is such a hard job and so time consuming that you would not have time for us anymore.

Only in California!

ps I am not good with monogamy either but I don't pretend to be and I never lie to my lover!

Schwarzenegger admitted to her that he had fathered a child by an employee of theirs in 2003. He only lied to her during the affair and for 8 years after. What a pig! He doesn't deserve her!

I need to train for a marathon in November and I need to loose at least 70 pounds. Notice I said at least! But, I know my body well and know that I need a varied activites to keep going. So last week, I hired a Muay Thai boxer (cute as well but aren't they all?). He is only working me out for an hour a day but holy shit! he is killing me. Knees hurt. Arms are sore. Legs ache. Shoulders hurt. And, the BF wanted to have sex tonight and I said, "sorry hear, I am tired." He looked at me and said, "You want to go to hospital?" haha But, I have lost 7 pounds total for the last 2 weeks. I am working out with the trainer and then doing another 1 or 2 hours per day on cardio. I hope I can keep it up! (as I couldn't get other things up tonight)

I have removed the pin at the top of the forum. I will also work this weekend on getting all the unrelated posts over to their appropriate forum. Feel free to post in this or other forums. If a post is in the main forum that is not about Gay Thailand then we will move it over when it falls off the page. I heard from the moderators that they don't have the ability to move topics and I'll give them this ability when I hear back from Invision Support. I am very happy that so many are posting and that the forum is active and lively!

Love it. Thanks!

PARTY!

Thank you so much for the great report. I really loved to read these. It was fantastic. Do you think the rain caused the saunas to be less than filled? Or, do you think the time of the year? What rate were most boys asking at 117? Meo Mundo? On my last trip, I found I like the boys at Meo Mundo better but the rooms really sucked. They were working on remodeling them. What did you think of the facilities there? Were there major differences in your satisfaction of the programmas this time as opposed to years before? I ask only because for me, it has never been less than I saw on my first go around. I agree with you that the Brazilian boys love to kiss and are very passionate. That is one of the reasons I keep going back for me. The sex is dynamite for sure. I am so glad you got back there and told us about your trip. Again, thank you!

May 24 is the Miss X Boys Jumbo Queen contest in Bangkok. They asked me if I would be in the contest but I told them my beauty is beyond judgement. However, I have been to X Boys on contest nights before and there were some ab fab guys and dolls there. I hope to make it to this night and if I do, I'll take my camera!

haha. I guess you are right. Even in Thailand, when I see a Thai boy who has dyed blond hair, I get turned on. I think the blond crush goes back to my many trips to Montreal where I had so many blond boys I can't even count.

Last month, in a Midtown office adorned with sports memorabilia, two longtime friends met for a private talk. David Stern, the commissioner of the National Basketball Association, sipped his morning coffee, expecting to be asked for career advice. Across from him sat Rick Welts, the president and chief executive of the Phoenix Suns, who had come to New York not to discuss careers, but to say, finally, I am gay. In many work environments, this would qualify as a so-what moment. But until now, Mr. Welts, 58, who has spent 40 years in sports, rising from ball boy to N.B.A. executive to team president, had not felt comfortable enough in his chosen field to be open about his sexuality. His eyes welling at times, he also said that he planned to go public. By this point, Mr. Welts had already traveled to Seattle to share his news with another friend, Bill Russell, one of the greatest basketball players ever and the recent recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He had also met with Val Ackerman, the founding president of the Women’s National Basketball Association, in New York, and would soon be lunching in Phoenix with Steve Nash, the point guard and leader of the Suns and twice the N.B.A.’s most valuable player. In these meetings and in interviews with The New York Times, Mr. Welts explained that he wants to pierce the silence that envelops the subject of homosexuality in men’s team sports. He wants to be a mentor to gay people who harbor doubts about a sports career, whether on the court or in the front office. Most of all, he wants to feel whole, authentic. “This is one of the last industries where the subject is off limits,” said Mr. Welts, who stands now as a true rarity, a man prominently employed in professional men’s team sports, willing to declare his homosexuality. “Nobody’s comfortable in engaging in a conversation.” Dr. Richard Lapchick, the founder and director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, and the son of the basketball legend Joe Lapchick, agreed. “The fact that there’s no other man who has done this before speaks directly to how hard it must be for Rick to do this now,” he said. Mr. Stern did not find the discussion with Mr. Welts awkward or even surprising; he had long known that his friend was gay, but never felt that he had license to broach the subject. Whatever I can do to help, the affably gruff commissioner said. He sensed the decades of anguish that had led the very private Mr. Welts to go public.

Hell, we have not even had one openly gay contestant on American Idol. I can't imagine a ladyboy in USA!

I am considering a trip to Manila. I have never spent time there but have wanted to visit for many years. Any suggestions on the gay scene? Also, has anyone stayed at the Intercontinental there? It looks reasonable prices for the dates I am looking at. http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/intercontinental/en/gb/locations/overview/manila If I go there for 5 days, should I spend the entire time in Manila or go to other areas?

I like blond boys from Minneapolis but I have not spent a great deal of time there. West Hollywood, Ca is perhaps the gayest city in my mind. They even have rainbows on their patrol cars. If not WeHo, San Francisco?

I have never been to Bangkok on a holiday when I didn't meet Singapore guys in the bars. They love coming here. I love visiting Singapore but their anti-gay stances is one reason I don't spend more time and money there!

You must watch this first one at least! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YccsNO1FV64 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAbCbUdvxIY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIO9PM32Pm4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha0ev-XAYlw

I don't know what the prevailing mindset is about voting on Idol. I think we all have different opinions. I am a Haley fan myself. I love her and hope she wins. As for Scotty, I have not liked him or his group when the kicked the chubby feminine boy out of the group in the early weeks of the show. He came back and said he should have stood up for the boy but didn't. That told me all I needed to know about him. In the end, it is a competition about singing. I love the show and I watch it and I am sure some are upset that Scotty seems to be catering to his core group, and I have no problem with that. He is a kid himself and will make mistakes. We all do.

I hope you don't get upset at a few comments. I didn't take the plate size to be critical. I didn't read your personal message either. But, I have written about Brazil many times and I always put in the price keeps going up for me too. IMHO, my last few trips to Brazil rivaled that of Europe. It was once very affordable to go to Brazil and now it is getting out of hand for me. The cost of the sauna scene is certainty less than you would get in the USA but the cost of just about everything else is expensive. I think the your comments about prices in this thread are reveling to others about how bad the dollar sucks and the price of Brazil is going up for us. I felt that a great deal on my last trip. I was there for Carnival 6 years ago and I got VIP box seats for me and several boys from the sauna. The cost was about 12,000R for the night. That didn't seem a great expense when the R was 3.6 but now that it is 1.6 HOLY Shit, I didn't have the same carnival experience last year. Hotels are out of control. My last look at Sao Paulo and the Intercontinental and the Renaissance (the 2 hotels I have stayed at for 8 years) were over 700 USD a night. I would never pay that for a hotel anywhere. It was just not feasible for me. I do think the comments of posters here may be coming from a sense of surprise at how expensive things are there. I don't think malice was intended at least I didn't read it in this thread and only read positive things about you and your posts. I hope you continue your posts as many of us were really enjoying them, but more important than that is I hope you have a fantastic time! Keep posting but don't let us interfere with the enjoyment of your trip.

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!
