I have gotten 3 e-mails from David SF about his new site and requests to donate to Daddy. I cannot tell you how shocked I am that people actually buy into all this. It really is mind-boggling. I don't mind requests for donations to help a site. No problem with that at all. I don't mind solicitations at all either. But, I am one of the few people who seem to realize what Daddy should make from his site each year. When I first read these requests for donations, I sent Daddy and e-mail and offered a good monthly income to Daddy to "help him out" in exchange for his traffic. Naturally, he did not respond. Why? The answer is simple. He either hates me to the point of unable to communicate or he doesn't really NEED the money (notice the difference between need and want). I see no reason to hate me other than I am a pain in the ass. So, that leaves one other option. For those that can't add 2 plus 2 and get 4. The requests for donations are a joke!

Pattaya, September 8 [PATTAYA ONE NEWS] : In the early hours of Tuesday Morning, the Banglamung District Licensing Officials were back in Soi Sunee Plaza in South Pattaya to check a total of 4 bars who were known to be operating illegally following previous raids. The raid was led by Khun Pongtasit, the Deputy Chief of Banglamung District who raided the Villa Rouge Bar, the Crazy Dragon Bar, the Red Night Pub and the Sundance Bar. A total of 12 employees under the age of 18 were found and 34 employees failed drug tests. The Deputy District Chief told us that he would impose an initial 30 day closure order on all venues pending further investigations and promised to continue checking bars in the Sunee Plaza area over the coming weeks. http://www.pattayaone.net/news/2009/september/news_08_09_52_3.shtml

It covers up to 7 Million lifetime. I researched it a great deal before I decided on this one. Jim is gay and also a nice guy. The first link is also a link for him. This link is the plan I choose. https://www.imglobal.com/travelinsurance/in...IG3,GMIP2,GMIP3

For those of you that travel a great deal, I have found smtp.com a lifesaver. It basically acts as your place that sends and receives e-mails. Many hotels have built in firewalls and if you use Outlook or Entrarogue you may have to change to a specific port. Then, the change when you return home and then change again in a new place. SMTP.com eliminates the need for this. I have now used it for over a year and really been happy with it.

I have a fax number that I use for business. I have been getting several annoying faxes that are not solicited. I have requested that the companies stop faxing but nothing seems to help. I found this article on line and will be my next step. Has anyone found an easier way to stop these faxes? http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/unwantedfaxes.html

I have been to this "beauty" shop many times and always enjoy it. The guys are sweet and cute. The place is clean. It is right around the corner from DJ Station and Silom 4. The offer hair cuts, massages, waxes, manicures and pedicures. I needed a manicure and pedicure and went there for a bit. I got good service with cute boys that I enjoyed flirting with. The cost is 300 for a manicure and 300 for a pedicure. The package deal was 500 baht total for both. They did a good job on them. Their prices are reasonable and they seem to stay pretty consistent. I much prefer a little taxi ride to support a gay own business that supports the gay community as to go next door to my place. http://cuteyandbeauty.com

I am currently in the process of buying medical insurance. I was not able to find a policy in the USA that covered me overseas that didn't cost 1k or more a month. I finally found a global plan that covers 100 percent of all my medical expenses (less 1k per year deductible) and for about 360 USD a month. I was thrilled. I am now excited to see what becomes of the health care plan that finally comes out of Congress. It is something that is needed. I am just not sure I'll see vast changes in the next few years.

It doesn't seem to have affected them all that much. Many listings in every city. Most don't care all that much and may have found ways around it. I'm old. I remember back to when AOL was the best way to get clients for my "guys" and I would sit in the chat room 24/7. AOL then banned the word escort and my screen name was deleted. Then many started using the word companion. Escorting is as old as time and seems to evolve no matter what obstacles are thrown at it. The Internet has helped a great deal IMHO.

Most interesting IMHO. Live and let live.

Anyone read this book yet? I have friends that say it is wonderful. Anyone had a chance to read yet?

Even I would not be able to spend all Daddy's money on escorts and I love a party.

LOL. I have been looking for that person all my life Adam. Where are they?

Well, you won't see any links to our paypal donation site. We are happy just to be here and to serve. No donations needed.

Welcome back!

I have wondered about this for a long time. Why are the cost of drinks in the gay bars so much more than those of the straight ones or the ladyboy bars? You can't say they have to pay police more. That is BS. All the bars on that soi are price hungry and I think it is losing them business. If they were a reasonable price I would be there more often and would buy drinks for the guys in the bars. But, at US 7.50 a drink, I won't do it. I think it is a major ripoff and no makes no sense at all to me. The same drink around the corner with the lady bars are 90 baht or about 2.50 a drink. When I have a boy from a bar in Soi Twilight for a drink, I hate to spend 7.50 for a few ounces of soda. Why has no one gone into the area and opened up a bar to compete with these crazy prices? Why don't the owners do the logical thing to get more customers? Are they making that much money? I hear that the bars were packed last night for the shows but still, is that price needed every night? Come one, something has to give.

Thanks for showing us this article. I have not seen it posted on other news-sites. Perhaps, it just was not focused on the main part of the sites?

We agree with you. We have weeded out many who have not logged in or answered to e-mails. The new version of the site will really allow us to do this automatically and easily. It will be a great improvement. Initially, we will give all escorts a "grace period" to log in and update their profile. We will then start to inactivate those that don't. This does not apply to reviews but to those escorts who post profiles and then just never update. Some move on and some change e-mails. I know I hate to be in a new city and see a pic and try to e-mail and get a bounce.

The boyfriend was sick today and it gradually got worse and I decided to take him to the hospital. Bangkok Nursing Hospital was close but I thought he may have an Appendicitis so we went to Bumrungrad Hospital. What a nightmare. From the moment we got there to the time we left, I have never been so pissed in years! This hospital is the absolute worst excuse for a hospital I have ever seen. First, we went to the Emergency Room as it was an emergency. We were told that we should register with another doctor as the Emergency Room was more expensive. I explained that I knew this and wanted it anyway. The guy behind the desk said, "Is he Thai?" I said yes. "Who pay for him?" I looked at him and said I will that was why I was there. Bitching, he went about checking him in. They did ask for a 5k baht deposit. Not something they asked for when I went there last week. The doctor came over to him and was nice and suggested we check into a room as opposed to stay in the emergency room for 4 hours as he needed an IV and some Xrays. I said OK. I asked for a private room and they said they didn't have any available. OK, I took a double room. They said, "well, we only have 9th floor and they are doing construction on 8th floor till 5 or 6 and it may be noisy." I said, well, you had better put him in a room where there is no noise as he has to rest. This was a 5 minute debate and finally they took us to a room. The room was with another Thai who had about 8 family members with them and all were eating spicy food that smelled. I was a little shocked but I kept my mouth closed. He went for Xrays and Ultrasound and was back before too long. He threw up and I called the nurses station. I told them what happened and they looked at me. I explained I needed some fresh towels to wipe him and they brought them to me. They left the puke in the trash can until I removed it 20 min later and set it in the hall. I don't think they liked that too much. The doctor had visited him before the Xray and spent a total of 30 seconds with him. I told him I wanted to speak to him after the results came in from the blood work and the Xray. He never returned. We were only supposed to be there 4-5 hours and I never saw another doctor. I asked 3 times and nothing. What an incompetent group of shits were in charge of this floor. When time for check out, I went to pay the bill. It was 16,000 baht. I was surprised as I didn't think it would be that much. The doctor had charged 1500 baht for consultation (30 seconds) and never to be seen again. There were 4 charges on the bill that were incorrect and I had them redo them. One was for his drip machine. They tried to charge for 2 of them. I explained to the lady that there was only one and finally she understood that he could not be tied to 2 different drip machines at the same time. There were other errors which I had them remove. I also told them that I was upset that the doctor did not come back to see us before he was released and they said he called the floor to say it was all OK. I would have liked to have spoken to him. I was not a pleasant man when the doctor did not arrive and I did say some things that were inappropriate. After the mix-up with the bill, the hard check in, the lousy nurse station, puke sitting there for me to remove, smelly spicy Thai food, 5 of the people showing in the room with their grandfather and I could go on and on. Finally, they removed the needle from his hand that had the IV as they asked about service and I told them they were a shitty hospital and that I would never return. I explained that most had to do with the doctor never returning to see us or speak to us and that it was unprofessional. I had paid the bill as they requested and they had gotten a wheelchair for the BF. Then, after my tirade, they came back in and said the doctor said they could give him some pain medicine. Really? After we were checking out? OK. The BF needed it and he endured another needle puncture which he hates in order to help his pain. They then asked if we wanted to stay all night at the hospital. I looked at the two nurses and said, "You are fucking kidding right? This has been the worst hospital visit I have ever seen and you think I would let him stay with this shit hole hospital?" They apologized and said, so sorry, they were short staffed and the doctor had dinner plans. What? What? Even more furious, I then let my real feelings be known. I have calmed out as I write this but words like Mother Fucking Cocksuckers was going to be my title. The BF is relaxing. This same thing has happened to him before and we were in and out of Bangkok Pattaya in less than an hour and 1/15 of the cost and 100 times better service. A nice Arab lady was also complaining over her bill of 4 days being over 500,000 baht and she wanted it done item by item. Bumrungrad Hospital sucks IMHO. Let them eat shit and fuck pigs. Just my opinion of course.

Thanks guys for the offer to assist. I have sent an e-mail to you each. To log into that forum, you may need to log off here and then back in again for the settings to work. If it asks for a password, let me know and I'll send to you. Although, logging off and back in should set this the right way.

He is cute and fairly familiar looking but I don't think I have been with him. Love the look though. I wish I had been with him a few times so I could report more.

I am thinking of spending 6 months there at a school. (not high school as I already have that degree) But, if I did, I was looking for a place to stay and have a few questions. 1. I must have high speed Internet. Is this readily available there? 2. If I stay in a hotel, what are your recommendations? 3. Is the city safe? Can I go out at night alone? Walk around? Is this similar to Rio or Sao Paulo? 4. Are there lots of motorcycles around? I would most likely rent one to get around. Anything I left out? Any advice is mostly appreciated!

Thanks guys. This has always been a trip I wanted to take.

I think many don't understand the review process and that when they no longer advertise that the reviews are taken down. For someone working, I do not see any downfalls unless it is a bad review. There are those that do not want a review on this site. Rick Monroe has actively told clients not to post a review on this site as he thinks it is a sham. I am sure there are those escorts that were around during the Hooboy days that feel the same. Younger guys don't seem to know how to advertise their services very well. I reviewed one escort on this site and he put up an ad. He then called a month later and told me to take his ad off the site as he was not getting work from it and it was not worth the money. I asked him, "what money?" We don't charge escorts for the site or the ads. He responded that "oh, sorry I thought this was Rentboy." Many don't know the differences between the sites. IMHO, a good escort that wants work would have their name out there as much as possible and make some money from every resource. That being said, it is clear that an escort will get more calls from Rentboy that they do from here. We just haven't risen to that level yet, but we are working on it.

I thought the world was coming to an end. But, all is OK now. How does something like this with one of the largest and powerful tech savvy companies happen?

I personally believe that someone that wants to stay in the closet should. I wish they would not as I think it is detrimental to themselves and to the community. However, I don't think someone should be forced to come out. I know it would have pushed me further into the closet in my 20's. Now, there are widespread reports about the Lt. Gov of SC. What do you think about this kind of reporting? http://www.blogactive.com/2009/08/rumors-confirmed.html
