I had several good times there. One pool party that was a blast. It looks like the hotel has now gone under. It is still open and if you are in Vegas, please go by and support them. http://www.365gay.com/news/gay-las-vegas-hotel-goes-bankrupt/

Tonight was odd. I had several guys from the bars asking for money as they said their bar was closed. I wandered by and sure thing, the bars were closed. Tom Yum was shut closed. Mic My had 4-5 boys, other bars were also slow. The rumor is that there was an imminent raid. So, everyone that was underage, or had no ID, or had Yaba in their system fled fast. The others did not want the hassle. Then, my BF was leaving the Plaza and his bike was stopped and he was pee pee tested ON THE STREET as the cops watched. He said they were doing this to all Thai's leaving through the back entrance of the Plaza close to Soi Yensabi. The rumors were afoot tonight. If anyone hears more, please let us know.

Beautiful photos tomcal. Thank you for sharing.

While marriage is NOT for me, I would want everyone who has the desire to have the ability to marry. We have come a long way in my lifetime but we still have a long way to go in search of true equality.

We plan to retire to Thailand in a few years and this site will give us something to do when we retire. As long as it doesn

Sideways is great and definitely counts. Townsend, I have never heard of this movie until just now. It looks fantastic. I can't wait to see it.

Has anyone see this movie out in Thailand? I Am Love (2009) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUXEAhJb_O0

Not sure when your last trip to Pattaya was Lucky. Sunee is much better today than a few years back. It is NOT 100 percent clean but it is getting damm close. All the beer bars I know of legit and legal age. There are only a handful of gogo bars left and the police have clamped down tight on them. Thailand is not the place for people looking for Underage. The police here are VERY active in stopping this activity. Surrounding countries are the place most go. You will notice that many get arrested in Bangkok Airport but that is the main Asian hub for most surrounding countries. Thailand has no tolerance for this kind of activity. I rarely see anyone under 18 in any bar. However, it is still illegal for someone under 21 and not working in a bar to be inside and drinking. I also have never seen underage in Brazil. Not one sauna I have ever been to has young guys. I love the saunas there for this reason. You don't have to worry about a fake ID or problems. There must be a street scene as the article states but I have never seen it and have no desire to be anywhere nearby.

What is the full deal with Best Buy?

LOL I am sure you do BottomBoy. But, I like anything hard or soft as long as it is laying face down.

The best way to give back to the site is to participate in the forums and post reviews. We are a review site. We thrive on getting good reviews. Thanks. I agree. We are adding the capability for escorts to add Videos to their profiles this week. Once that is done, we will send out a mass e-mail about it and the Known to Be Legit. We try to limit the number of e-mails we send to one every few months. But, I agree this is important to do. Thanks.

I can't find a way in the Admin to get exact stats for one week only. I am still working on it. However, most defiantly the count is up the last week. IMHO a great success so far! Thank you guys for all the hard work!

I wanted my Thai boyfriend to experience The Godfather this week. We watched all 3 episodes. Not an easy task for a non native speaker. He thoroughly enjoyed the movies and asked lots of questions. One of them was about the cooking the men were doing in the movies. It got me to thinking about great food scenes from movies and great movies about food. I have listed a few of my favorite foodie movies. Anyone have others to add? Chocolate - One of the best romance movies EVER. The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover - Sick but an amazing movie. Julie and Julia Fried Green Tomatoes - Growing up in Alabama, this one hit home. Like Water For Chocolate The Breakfast Club - Feel in love with everyone in this. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory - I must have seen this 100 times when I was a kid. Today, I still love it.

We appreciate all the support. I am the new Admin for the website. My boyfriend and I live in the USA and visit Thailand for 6 weeks every summer. Our plan is to retire there in 3-4 years. Most of our time is spent in Chiang Mai and that is where we wish to retire. Feel free to send me a Private Message with any questions. Thank you for your continued support of Gay Thailand - The Information Center for Gay Thailand, Gay Pattaya, Gay Bangkok, Gay Chiang Mai, Gay Phuket and Sunee Plaza.

A friend told me that Solid Bar was packed last night with great guys. He said there must have been 20 beautiful lads there. I was told so many that he had trouble choosing. I guess when you prices for drinks are reasonable, the boys are sexy and the staff is honest with what they do, you will keep customers coming. I am looking forward to a visit to Solid on my next trip to Bangkok.

The beer bars may have been busy last night but the 3 gogo bars I went to were eerily quiet. Few boys, few staff, few dancing, few customers. Perhaps it was just a Saturday Night and all the boys were resting up for a late night. We were out till after 11 and things were very quiet. One GoGo bar I went into which usually has a slew of hot guys were so dead that I felt uncomfortable staying. We paid for the drinks, gulped them down and off we went.

WASHINGTON — The Senate confirmed Elena Kagan to a seat on the Supreme Court on Thursday, giving President Obama his second appointment to the high court in a year and a victory over Republicans who sharply challenged her credentials and record. Ms. Kagan, who is set to be sworn in Saturday as the newest member of the court, was approved by a vote of 63 to 37 after hearings and floor debate that showcased the competing views of Democrats and Republicans about the court but exposed no significant stumbling blocks to her confirmation. In welcoming the Senate action, Mr. Obama said he expected that Ms. Kagan would be a strong addition to the court because she “understands that the law isn’t just an abstraction or an intellectual exercise.” “She knows that the Supreme Court’s decisions shape not just the character of our democracy, but the circumstances of our daily lives,” the president said. Ms. Kagan, the former dean of the Harvard Law School, a legal adviser in the Clinton administration and solicitor general in the Obama White House, becomes the fourth woman to serve on the court. She will join two other women currently serving, including Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who was confirmed almost exactly a year ago, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She will be the only justice on the court not to have served previously as a judge. At age 50, Ms. Kagan could have a long tenure, but her confirmation is not seen as immediately altering the current closely divided ideological makeup of the court, which is often split 5 to 4 on major decisions. She succeeds Justice John Paul Stevens, the leader of the court’s liberal bloc, who is retiring. “Her qualifications, intelligence, temperament and judgment will make her a worthy successor to Justice John Paul Stevens,” said Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont and chairman of the Judiciary Committee. The court she is joining has grown more assertive in placing a conservative stamp on decisions under Chief Justice John Roberts, and is likely to confront an array of divisive issues in coming years, like same-sex marriage, immigration and the federal government’s role in health care. Among the cases she is expected to sit in on when the new term starts in October are two major First Amendment clashes: one involving California’s attempts to limit the sale of violent video games to minors, the other on the free speech rights of protesters at military funerals. Because of her role as solicitor general in the Obama administration, Ms. Kagan has already identified 11 cases on the docket for the next term in which she would disqualify herself because she had worked on them for the White House. One concerns the privacy rights of scientists and engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory who object to federal background checks. In the final vote, 5 Republicans joined 56 Democrats and 2 independents in supporting the nomination; 36 Republicans and one Democrat, Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, opposed her. In a sign of the import of the moment, senators formally recorded their votes from their desks. The partisan divide over the nomination illustrated the increasing political polarization of fights over Supreme Court nominees, who in years past were backed by both parties in the absence of some disqualifying factor. Ms. Kagan received fewer Republican votes than Justice Sotomayor, who was supported by nine Republicans in her 68-to-31 confirmation on Aug. 6, 2009. Democrats balked at Samuel A. Alito Jr., nominated by President George W. Bush, with only four endorsing him in a 58-to-42 vote in January 2006. Most Senate Republicans challenged Ms. Kagan’s nomination until the end, asserting that she lacked sufficient experience and had unfairly stigmatized the military by supporting a bar on recruiters at Harvard Law over the military’s policy against allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly. They said her record in both Democratic administrations and her strong ties to Mr. Obama suggested that she would try to imprint her own political values and those of the president on court decisions. “Whether it’s small-claims court or the Supreme Court, Americans expect politics to end at the courtroom door,” said Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader. “Nothing in Elena Kagan’s record suggests that her politics will stop there.” Republicans said the need to interpret the Constitution strictly was, in their view, reaffirmed by this week’s federal court ruling against California’s voter-imposed ban on same-sex marriage, a case considered likely to eventually reach the Supreme Court. Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the senior Republican on the Judiciary Committee, warned that the American public would “not forgive the Senate if we further expose our Constitution to revision and rewrite by judicial fiat to advance what President Obama says is a broader vision of what America should be.” But Democrats described the new justice as a brilliant legal scholar who would broaden the outlook of the court. “When it opens this fall, three women — a full third of the bench — will preside together for the first time,” Senator Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat and majority leader, said. “That’s really progress.” Mr. Obama called Ms. Kagan’s confirmation “a sign of progress that I relish not just as a father who wants limitless possibilities for my two daughters, but as an American proud that our Supreme Court will be more inclusive, more representative and more reflective of us as a people than ever before.” Ms. Kagan has never been a judge and her previous courtroom experience was limited — she argued her first case before the Supreme Court last year — leading some Republicans to cite her lack of time on the bench as a chief factor in their opposition. They included Senator Scott Brown, a Massachusetts Republican, who announced Thursday he would oppose the nomination of the woman he introduced at her confirmation hearings. “When it comes to the Supreme Court, experience matters,” he said in a statement. Democrats dismissed that argument, with Senator Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut noting that more than one-third of the 111 Americans who have served on the court were not previously judges, including former Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, whose tenure was highly regarded by many Republicans. “I would therefore submit to my colleagues that there are other important measures of the quality of a Supreme Court nominee besides the depth of his or her experience on the bench,” Mr. Dodd said. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/06/us/politics/06kagan.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of other Tuk Tuk dealers in Thailand other than than the 2 below? I am looking for a new one that the shop will customize. Thanks. :: Monika TukTuk Tuk-Tuk TukTuks SamLor Three-Wheeler AutoRickshaw

We actually have this already. It is called Verified Profiles. An escort that shows in this area takes a photo with their name written and the date. They upload this and it must match the photos on file. We have had only a few take advantage of this but the system is in place.

The lights went out in parts of Pattaya for about an hour. It was nice to have a romantic evening with the BF. I looked from the balcony of my room and it was sporadic lights out all around. Some areas were fully lit and some were fully out. Of course Walking Street was visible for a mile away.

Good question. I haven't thought about it yet. I'll get back to you.

We have added a new feature to the site. This is on the Escorts Profiles. It is a Known to Be Legit. This tells others that you have met them and their photos are real. It is not a review of an escort but simply that the escorts description and photos match the person you have met. For example, if Townie host a Hamburger Mary's party when I get back to LA and several escorts show up and you chat with them, you can rate them from your conversations with them. Do their photos match the description? Is the profile accurate? In order for members to use this feature, they must have at least ONE PUBLISHED review. This tells us that the person doing the rating is also legit. Check out any Escort Profile to see the ability to rate. Also, check out the Most Rates Members in the Search Area of the site. These update hourly and escorts who are rated often will get stars. They are: 1 Star – (Known to be Legit) Known by at least 5 Reviewers 2 Stars – (Gets Around) Known by at least 10 regular Reviewers 3 Stars – (True Professional) Known by at least 20 Reviewers 4 Stars (Popular and Reliable)– Known by at least 25 Reviewers 5 Stars (100 percent Prime Time Escort) – Known by at least 35 Reviews This has taken us a while to implement on the site and we hope you enjoy this additional feature.

Welcome glutes. We are glad you are here! Can I ask what you mean by the above? I am not privy to any issues about this. Feel free to send a PM if you prefer and have time.

Famous Bar is a new Ladyboy bar on the street that goes from the end of Sunee. It is on the same side as White Night and almost across from the Little Mango. They have done an Absolutely fabulous job on this place. The bar is well done and it has some of the most beautiful ladyboys I have seen in Pattaya. The drinks are reasonable. I felt no pressure to take someone although they were eager to get us in. What a beautiful place!
