One of my favorite restaurants in Pattaya is having a special on truffles. Everything they cook is normally divine. Give them a try for Aug 7 and 8 if you are around. From: Bordeaux Restaurant bordeaux.restaurant_pattaya@yahoo.fr

I have 3BB and it has been on again off again for many days. I find I have to reboot my modem several times a day. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Pattaya - The days when foreign paedophiles and criminals could retire in peace in Pattaya - a Thai beach resort infamous for its prostitution and sleazy nightlife - are numbered, at least according to immigration police. On Thursday, Pattaya's Immigration Office will officially launch the country's first Transnational Crime Data Centre, equipped with a staff of 12 and a 6-million-baht (184,615-dollar) computer system dedicated to tracking down nefarious expats. "Pattaya may have been a heaven for foreign criminals in the past, but now we have the technology to spoil their paradise," said Police Colonel Athiwit Kamolrat, Chonburi Immigration Police Superintendent. The centre, plastered with photos of alleged criminals wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Interpol, Bangkok-based embassies and Thai authorities, sits above Pattaya's Immigration Office, a busy place visited by hundreds of expatriates a day. Pattaya, a beach resort in Chonburi province about 100 kilometres south-east of Bangkok, has one of the largest expat communities in Thailand, estimated at more than 70,000 more-or-less permanent residents. "Every foreigner who lives in Pattaya for a long time needs to come here to renew their visas, and when they do we put their name and address in our computer base," said Police Lieutenant Colonel Prapansak Prasansuk, deputy superintendent of Chonburi immigration. The centre also receives calls and emails from more than 700 hotels, guest houses and service apartments in Pattaya whenever a foreigner checks in for more than 24 hours. A law requiring that all foreigners who stay in a place for more than a day must be reported to immigration police has been on the books for years, but now it is being enforced. "Some guest houses and serviced apartments didn't want to report to us because they were avoiding taxes, but I told them we are not responsible for collecting taxes, just for collecting foreigners," Athiwit said. "In recent months the call-ins have increased 130 per cent." Those who fail to report foreigners face fines. With the improved surveillance of resident foreigners in Pattaya, immigration police are well positioned to make arrests of any foreigner facing a warrant abroad, as long as the warrants are on their database. Since October 2009, Pattaya immigration police have assisted with the arrests of seven human traffickers, primarily dealing with child prostitution rings, and about a dozen foreign criminals facing arrest warrants either abroad or in Thailand. Embassy police officers based in Bangkok attribute Pattaya's improved performance primarily to Police Lieutenant General Wuthi Liptapallop, the new head of the Immigration Bureau, who after taking office earlier this year made it his mission to crack down on foreign criminals in the kingdom. "It's all linked to Wuthi," said one European diplomat. "It used to be very difficult getting assistance from the Thai police, but now something definitely has happened." To what extent and for how long the Pattaya crack down persists remains to be seen. There is a good deal of scepticism, given the ingrained corruption in the city. "There are a large number of foreign gangsters operating in Pattaya, and without exception they are all paying off the police," said one British crime reporter who specializes in Pattaya. Pattaya's recent history includes a long list of illustrious criminals. There was Wolfgang Uelrich, a German national who defrauded tens of thousands of dollars from his countrymen through a bogus animal- welfare charity. He used the charity to invest in bars, restaurants and various businesses in Pattaya, and was eventually extradited to Germany where he was found guilty of fraud. Rene Larsen, a convicted Danish drug trafficker, was a resident of Pattaya and proud owner of a palatial residence in the 1990s before he was extradited to Copenhagen. Both men were known to have close connections with the Pattaya police force. "Corruption in these cases has decreased in Pattaya, because now we have concrete evidence to present against them," Athiwit said. "But for the crackdown to work we need to have similar centres in Phuket, Samui, Chiang Mai and other tourist destinations." The bigger question for observers is whether the crackdown will continue after Wuthi's term expires. "In Thailand, for the long term, one never knows," said one Western diplomat Police get tough on Pattaya's criminal migrants

Is this something that would be beneficial to be done here?

The GayThailand.com board is here to stay. We will not be moving the url or the forum. All posts will stay in place. Nothing will go anywhere. When I made the post a few days back, I thought that the move was a good move. After listening to the comments of many on the board who were not happy with the site being transferred over to a new domain, I was in contact with a guy in the USA who has offered to buy the site several months ago. We were close to a deal when I was in the USA but it fell through. But, in the end, this is a better move for me than to get members upset and it is a great way to enhance the Gay Thailand community of forums. The money was deposited in escrow for the site and the paperwork is being sent to me; I hope to have this deal finalized soon. I'll then hand over the reins to a great couple that will be great running the board. I will be staying on as a very active poster on this site and help in anyway I can to continue its growth. I know the new owner will want to make some changes to the site but my understanding is that these changes are to the front end of the website and not the Forum part of the site. The front end of the website is where the most traffic comes as many guys use it on a daily basis for finding a lover / BF / etc. The code that was written for the front end is out of date and old and needs a major revamp. Part of my reservation in continuing the site was putting another 10-14k into the site. I am not a programmer and thus can't fix things on the fly. The new owner's lover is much more computer savvy than I am and this will be easier for him. Again, I want to thank everyone for making this site so great. I appreciate all the posters and participants.

Long haired Jonny is back for more, and this time he's brought cute Justin with him!! Opening his ass up for more action, this time with a small black butt plug, getting larger and larger as more is pushed inside his eager butthole. Needing his cock worked on, Justin pulls his bottom boy down and slides his cock into the prepped ass, fucking him solidly, making him moan out loud with each forward thrust he's subjected to.

I guess I am a proud Liberal. But, I am open to many parties. I was leaning toward McCain until he went Kooky and picked his VP running mate. If he had picked my mayor, Michael Bloomberg, I would then have learned in their direction. I am tired of all politicians. That includes the Liberal ones. I want a businessman in the White House. Someone like Steve Jobs. Let him IPad the White House. I'd even go for Donald Trump as I can't stand him. But, I don't think he would do a worst job than anything we've had in the past. If nothing else, he would be able to add some gold touches to the White House bathrooms. My contender for the next 2012 White House is Kimbo Slice. He might whoop them into shape.

One of the quotes in this video: "Craigslist is like the Wal-Mart of online sex trafficking right now in this country." http://edition.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/08/03/craigslist.sex.ads/index.html#fbid=gYq-G8MH7vH When the AC360 video is on the internet, will someone please post a link.

LOL Same building. Not the same apartment. There are so many places like this available for rent. You know how much the cost for this for a week? About 100 USD. Or, for a one night photo shoot? 30 USD. Or, so I am told.

I went to Tuk Com today to find a nice scanner. Naturally, they don't have any. The ones they have are over 3 times the price in the USA. I almost bought one in USA and brought it over on the plane but they were all 110 and not 110-240 V. I am really looking to find a good scanner in Thailand. I don't mind driving to Bangkok to find it. The one I really like is the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500. Anyone seen this in any mall or store? Thanks.

This set features two energetic gay Thai twinks with loads of tattoos that can't get enough of slurping on each other's big Asian cocks. Mai's the more solid one and Gus is the super cute twink that every rice queen or sticky rice would love to sleep with. In the build up and preparation for a super raunchy energetic fuck, Mai rims and eats Gus's tight boy-hole with gusto. Mai eats Gus's hole even harder and Gus loves every second. His nipples perk and harden up with the almost orgasmic pleasure. But super cute twink Gus loves nothing more than having another boy's dick up his ass, and Mai obliges by energetically fucking him with his long Asian rod. Gus shifts round fuck positions so he can fuck Mai's dick with his horny little butt. Saving some of the action to your imagination, there's a reason for the title, "Cute Twink Cum Eater"....

Asian twink Beat is in his undies dancing and touching himself - just like he was a go-go boy dancing on the stage. His equally hot Thai twink friends Mos and Dew call round and bust him dancing in his undies so they just decide to make a threesome of it. It ends up being a tangle of sexy, naked, gay Asian boys' bodies as the boys clamber over each other to get to suck cock and have their cocks sucked. Soon Mos is wedged between Beat's and Dew's hard cocks as they compete for him to suck their dicks. Then Mos offers his little bubble butt up to Beat's cock and he rams Mos in the spit roast position. Saving the best to last the boys pile up into a fuck sandwich, one of the sexiest gay fuck positions around! For More of these Click Here

Without question, it would be my mother. She died about 8 years ago now and while we knew she was dying (Cancer) we did have a great deal of quality time. I asked lots of questions and thought I knew everything. As the years have progressed, I constantly come up with more questions that I would like to know. Plus, I think just seeing her would lift my spirits more than anyone else. If I had to pick someone famous, I'd pick Elvis. I was in love with his music when I was a kid and grew up not from from him. We went to Memphis when he died. We have been to Graceland numerous times. I still have all his records and newspaper clippings. When I was younger I had an entire room dedicated to him.

I have family members that watch http://fatwallet.com daily. They keep an eye on special threads and buy the things they want. They do all Christmas shopping via this website as they get some great deals Often a business like Best Buy will make a mistake and give a code and on top of that discount the price. Anyone that catches it in time, gets the discount. She also tells me all the great ways to use my priority points from this and other sites and how to get more bang for the buck!

Absolutely fascinating. I had no idea of those numbers. Knowing lots of porn guys, I have never met anyone that came close to those numbers.

Admittedly, I do too!

I have always disliked outing in any way. Even with those that are hypocritical. But, to go into a support group for the scoop, is despicable. There should be some things that reports just don't do. How would one feel if a reporter dressed himself as a priest for the confessional?

Love the pics lurker, keep em coming. YUMMY! Lucky, I spend a great deal of time in Thailand and as you know the boys here are on stage in underwear. While I find this very sexy, I also find that I take off more boys who are doormen and fully clothes than I do someone on a stage. I love the intrigue of finding out what they look like under their clothes and slowly undressing them. Once I've seen the goods on stage (and many just hold it out for you to see) nothing is left to the imagination.

I am addicted to several shows. I love Survivor and don't miss an episode. I love Big Brother. Some of my other favorites are all the Law and Order series and Dexter. But, a few years back I fell in love with a ShowTime series called Weeds. It is a wild ride to say the least. If you have not watched it, give it a chance. The season opener was great. If left off right where the old season ended. Totally Fucked Up! Anyone else love this wacky show?

This has been fixed. We didn't know it was an issue until now. My apologies for anyone who experienced this. Welcome Charlie! We are happy you are here! Glad you found us. Sit back, take off your shoes, relax and enjoy yourself.

I love it when a community comes together to support one of our own. In this case, Gaybutton's website opened up this week and we have posts here linking to that site. Also, SGT and Baht-Stop have active threads about his new site. I think it is fantastic when all the major sites come together to support a fellow member of our community who opens his own site. ElephantSpike and I have always thought that there was plenty of room in the Gay Thailand community for many boards. I am sure other boards feel the same. The boards should not feel like they are in competition with each other for members or for statistics. We are all in this for the same reason (or should be) and that is to enhance the livelihood of all businesses in Thailand and to help more gay men visit here with ease. Thank you to Baht Stop and Sawatdee Gay Thailand for supporting GayButton in his new endeavor! Like them, we wish him great luck and wonderful success.

Q-Tips: The product was originally called Baby Gays and in 1926, the labels were changed to read Q-tips Baby Gays. Later the name Baby Gays was discarded and Q-tips® became the identifying mark for cotton swabs. The Q in Q-tips stands for quality and the word tips describes the cotton swab at the end of the stick. http://www.qtips.com/history.php
