You won't have to wade through tons of photo as the photos forum will not be part of the site unless those are photos that meet 100% criteria which is no nudity at all, and yes, that includes butt shots. Anything that can't be posted on Facebook can't be posted on this site. I have been lax and that is my bad. Now, I need to self-correct. Any photos that you take or own or have the legal right to use are welcome. I love photos and especially when they related to travels, bars, clubs, etc. However, just taking random images from anywhere and re-posting them here is not allowed. That said, we have a Club area where a user can start any club they want and control access to only members they want and that club is not visible to the public or to me. I truly did understand there would be lots of questions. People hate change and wonder if it will be good or bad. I do believe that the forum belongs to the members and I try to intervene as little as possible. But, when people contribute to the site, they have a vested interest in what happens on that site. We have had this site running for nearly 15 years I think. That is a long time and many changes over the years. Everyone, including you, has a voice in what the site should be. I do try to accommodate as much as possible with most requests. And, no FloridaRob, we can't fly all the Brazilian lads to Thailand for a test run to see if everything meshes together perfectly.

Users will not have 2 accounts. We are working on merging them. Photo threads are problematic as they contain copyrighted images. I'm working on a new policy. I don't know about Unread Content but will try to structure the forums in a way that works for all or most. To read unread content in any section should be easy if you see something is there unread.

Thanks. I am unsure of the other porn. What I would prefer is that you put a R photo and link to your site.

Congrats and Thank you! And, yes, post counts, content, etc are all moved over.

Sure. No dicks, ass, sex shots allowed. Anything that can be seen as past R rated should not be here. Sexy photos of gogo boys, etc. are highly encouraged. Just not nudes.

The GayGuides.com community will soon be welcoming members from boytoy.com to our site. The two forums will merge to become gayguides.com only. The members at boytoy have an amazing amount of knowledge about South America, North America and Europe. Members of this site have more knowledge of gay Asia. The goal for this site has always been to be as inclusive of the gay world as possible and this next step will move us one step closer to that goal. Many here are members of both sites. There is no need to register on both sites as they will be merged soon. The one difference in the sites is that boytoy has always encouraged porn and xxx images. That will not come over with the site and we will remain a site without porn. We have one forum area here that I'll be cleaning up to ensure no xxx images are there. The site may go down for a day while the merge takes place as the forum company Invision, will be doing that for us to make sure all runs smoothly.

Dear Members, Recently, in our porn forum, I have had over 40 DMCA requests to remove images. These were sent to both me and the host. I am complying with these requests. It is also quite problematic as images cannot be on the site that copyrighted. We remove any we see that are copyrighted but it is a massive undertaking. Regretfully, we are removing the entire porn photo section from the site. I know that some of you love this area and visit daily to see the massive amount of sexy guys. However, I am not willing to be sued based on these images. As the site is also slow at times, the site will be merging with another site called gayguides.com. This will allow a broader base of membership with guys who have similar interests. Most of the gay guides members are experienced travelers to Asia. Most of the ones for boytoy are more experienced in South America and Europe. A couple of years back, the gaythailand site merged into gayguides and soon other sites will be merged to create a more active forum. Since the beginning of this site, originally maleescortreview.com and then boytoy.com, members have been loyal and provided great discussions of escorts and places to travel to find great guys. I hope that this continues. There is nothing anyone needs to do on gayguides right now. In several days, the merge will happen and your login for boytoy will work on the other site. Currently, we are removing all names from members who have never posted on boytoy (over 30,000) and people who have not logged in for several years. This will help us when we merge the two forums into one. Part of these are already removed but the process removed about 200 per hour. The boytoy domain name will point to gayguides.com for several months to ensure all members that are active know where the site is. Transitions are always hard and tough and no one likes change. For me, this was a hard decision, but one that will be easier for me to manage and maintain. Thank you for being a member and I hope to see you on the new site when the transition is complete. Oz

So far since I woke up, I have had 6 messages from boys who work in the bars saying hello to me. BEFORE 9AM. They know it is going to be a hard week for them. So, come on guys, if you live in Bangkok, reach out to a few of the lads and ask them for a short time.

I heard the same from a bar boy today. He said they were out of work for 7 days.

1,000 baht up. But, just ask them before you book. I had one freelancer who asked 1500.

The Water Library is an excellent restaurant with a great selection of wines. It is a bit on the pricey side but the food is amazing. I had the lobster and the lobster bisque. I have been a few times and had wonderful food each time. They have such a nice selection and such great staff. If you are looking for a very special evening, give this a try at Central Embassy. https://waterlibrary.com/

I am looking to compile a list of good gay restaurants in Bangkok. Any suggestions? I'm starting with The Smokin Pug as I love it and it was once near Suriwong and they are great with gay groups.

I have been waiting for some hospitals to capitalize on this. The government needs to get some things approved and started. Thailand is lagging behind on this. I think that it will start allowing people who have been vaccinated into the country. I know discussions have already been taking place at Parliament but no word yet on the requirements.

Very sad to hear this.

I find this place fun to go to and fun to sit and watch the world go by. Even now during the slow Covid period, Silom 4 has tons of eye candy walking by. https://www.gayguides.com/listing/telephone-pub

I asked. Soft means they suck.

I am curious if others believe this is the central location. I know of many who move to Pattaya now and move to Jomptien and Pratamak Hill area. If so, would it not seem logical that Jomtien become the center of gay life?

Most are 1,000 baht minimum. Some are less and some are a bit more. The ones like Ogasms and KK are 1,000.

OK. It was Christmas Day. Perhaps, that means everyone wanted to stay home with family and friends. However, I wanted to see what was going on in the gay bars and clubs. I ventured out for the night. I had some drinks at Hot Male bar and then looked inside the gogo bar with zero boys on stage. I went to Fresh Boys and no customers at all and less than 10 on stage. I went to Screwboys and it was abysmal. I then went to Dream Boys and they were packed with sexy guys. Well, at least some guys and I'd say about 15 guys. I went to Moonlight and got there before the show. I was the only customer. The boys on stage were 12. They were all cute and muscular. But, watching the 12 of them up and down for 30 more minutes was not worth it for me. I called it a night and headed home. I do hope this was an anomaly. I left the area early, around 10:15, so perhaps it picked up a lot after that. But, sitting in the area and not seeing much traffic, makes me wonder if things were just going to stay quiet last night. As a side note, I had to go to the doctor twice this week during rush hours in Bangkok and NO traffic and easy to get everywhere. The driver said people were staying home afraid of Covid as we have had outbreaks in the area. I hope this is the case.

Actually, my friend is good friends with the manager at Lucky Boys. It has not reopened. They went in last week to clean it top to bottom. I asked if they were going to reopen and they said there was no need as no bar in the area is currently making enough money to stay open. Hard to believe for me but I only go out on weekends. However, if their rents are high and they have a full staff they need a certain number of customers to keep it going. I have yet to see that massive influx of customers in any bar in Bangkok. A few nights are packed for a show but no customers before that or after.

Sad news indeed. I was there a week ago and it was dead quiet but it was the night with no alcohol. However, I was in Bangkok's gay area last night and it looked about like Pattaya's Boystown. It was like a ghost town. I think the new Covid scare has scared off what few customers were willing to venture out. I sat in Moonlight as the only customer for an hour, same for 2 other bars. I was hoping that the bars in Boystown would be able to hold on.

Does anyone know if this venue is closed? I see their website is gone and their Facebook has not been updated since June.

I wondered the same. I wondered if the soft was referring to the massage?

Does anyone know of this place? I just found them today and I like a lot of their guys. Any experiences? https://www.facebook.com/Big-Hands-Massage-107619074405402

Anyone been to this place? Recommended? https://www.gayguides.com/listing/bt-house-massage-and-spa/
