But there are others who are "gay man" who are gay but are also tops. But then there is also "straight man" who prefers to bottom. It's quite simple when you get the hang of it.

Sounds like advice from someone who has never had a boyfriend.....

Unless my eyes are failing me there only seem to be two with numbers so only preferring one over the other! Not a complete endorsement.

So no change there then!

Nicely and accurately put! Who is afraid of a do-gooder with our resources?

Day 1 started as an interesting and enjoyable trip report, thank you, but as the days go by the reports are getting even better, thank you even more. Loved Day Five and can't wait for Day Six. I always try and leave at least an hour between food consumption and swimming or massage or the other. I think it was ingrained in me as a child that you could get cramp swimming too soon after food.

The Airport Limo is twice the price to Silom area, and my favoured choice. The kiosks where you pay are brisk and efficient and right in airport concourse. They take your bags straight to the cars which are waiting just outside the terminal. Comfortable car after a long flight.

Anyone for a PPE supply contract in the UK? On no sorry, you have to be a friend of government to join the Fast Track lane.......... https://www.transparency.org.uk/track-and-trace-uk-PPE-procurement-corruption-risk-VIP-lane

If the Vietnamese are happy to go forward on this basis they don’t need advice from someone who supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine!

Or return to oz?

For Bangkok have a look at Bandara Suites serviced apartments in Saladaeng. Close to gay area, good value and peaceful

I would note that a significant number of the recent 5 star reviews are are "One Contribution" posters.......

That's because however much you give them, or pay them for their services, you will always have significantly more assets than they do.

Thanks Bravo, great reports!

Be fair. It's taken him 25 years of living in Thailand to reach that level of misinformation and bigotry. He's been working really hard to achieve this standard!

Thanks for all the advice on hotels, much appreciated. Sounds like the Westgate will suit me well!

Thanks Peter, all very helpful, appreciated. I just enjoy being either in or a short walk from gay areas when I go to an infrequently visited city. It's 30 years ago that I was last in Taipei, so I think that counts as infrequent. So when in Paris stay in Marais etc So I guess based on your shared experience and my research I'm looking at something like a three star in Ximending

Planning a trip to Taipei after reading all the good reports. Where do you guys stay when you are there? Thinking that it might be good for evening entertainment to to be in Ximending area. When I am in Bangkok I spoil myself by staying at the Meridien.

Oh right, and Pattaya has neither pollution nor traffic problems.........

Interesting to know that House cinema has a new venue, well new to me at least. Their old House cinema out in Rachada(RCA) used to have some indie gems that couldn't be seen elsewhere in Bangkok. Does it still exist?

If you want to move seamlessly from massage with "oil" to condom use without concerns, avoiding an awkward interim, try "Pjur". I use the "Original" version which is good for both massage and use with condoms. If you are expecting a very hard session you could for for "Pjur Back Door". All available from Amazon.

If the UK national purchased a travel insurance policy in the UK, from a UK registered company then, regardless of where any accident took place, the relevant jurisdiction for the settlement or legal action is the UK. In the event that the insured, or his family, felt they had had a claim unjustly refused, then the first recourse in the UK would be to the Financial Ombudsman. Most insurers are signed up to a code of conduct to abide by the ombudsman's decisions.

Mutual, and simultaneous, orgasms are better!

Any decent standalone travel insurance policy should cover emergency medical costs arriving from accidents like this and repatriation if necessary/feasible. It's the purpose of the policies.

if you can't tell the difference between wine and coca-cola you should stick to the latter and save your money.
