When my parents came to see me in Thailand, we had adjacent rooms in Pattaya. My parents went for an afternoon nap, and I used that time to invite someone to my room. My parents know what I'm doing in Thailand, but still would have been an awkward situation if they had knocked while I have a guest.

Not in my experience. The sauna scene is great and there are some cuties online. But when I stayed for 3 months in 2018, I managed to get 3 boys to my room. Compare that to Myanmar in 2018, 8 boys in 7 days. What's the story behind this statement? I avoid the time and expense of meeting someone at a cafe. Some I meet in front of my hotel or apartment, some come directly to my room. I had a few disappointments looks-wise. The only issue ever was a boy who had my hotel and room number, but was late and no communication. I wrote it off as "no show" and went to bed, only to be awaken by a knock on door a while later, let's say two hours after our date, by the boy! Another time I had a date (boy A had hotel and room number), and again late. I wrote it off as "no show" and got someone else B. While I was busy with B, A could have come knocking on my door, but he didn't. That's two cases that went wrong, without much damage. Now image the time and money wasted I had met everyone, let's assume 500, at a cafe! For me very clearly in favor of having the boy come directly to my place.

Poppers are illegal, but widely advertised online and openly sold in some gay saunas or massages. I don't think the brand makes any difference, the active ingredient is the same. The smell is characteristic. When they degrade (from storage at room temperature), the smell changes and becomes unpleasant. I never bought poppers myself. But some of my sexual partners brought poppers and I had a sniff, but didn't find it any benefit.

What is PP2?

Near BTS Saphan Khwai. I went in Sep2023 and found it okay. https://web.facebook.com/KaikanOnsen https://www.instagram.com/kaikanonsenbkk

When I asked staff on Wed16jul2025, an off fee of 800 was quoted, short time 1500-2000, long time 3000. I don't comment on that. I should have a second wallet with a few 20 notes and pull it out and count and reply "too bad, I don't have that much money with me".

Kissing is not important to me, and I went many years without initiating kissing, and usually the boy did neither. But since the subject came up on the forums a few years ago, I do market research. The majority of my boys are not into kissing. I can plant a short closed lips kiss on them (to see how they react, usually there is no reaction, so I leave it at that), some turn their cheek. Some are into kissing, however there can be bad smell (food or oral hygiene or smoker) or what I call wet kiss. One of my boys loves kissing, however he has a lot of saliva, and I feel my mouth filling with saliva, which I don't like (have to wipe it off before it starts running down). I remember only one case of kissing that felt good, tasted good, smelled good and that I would like to repeat.

Same problem here in Germany. I couldn't find a way to verify my age to access 18+ content on X (former Twitter). Same here. When I see something I like, I download it for fear it might be gone. I have messaged a few in Thailand and Cambodia, and got some replies (most don't read or don't reply), but haven't met anyone yet. Not my area of interest.

They might stop at ARL Ladkrabang, then go on elevated tollway no more stops. Have you considered van from South Pattaya or bus from Jomtien to Suvarnabhumi? I wrote about all modes of transport between Bangkok and Pattaya here: https://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2025/02/public-transport-pattaya.html

That happened to me as well, but only rarely. I can only assume that they have a booking for customer on an app and are on their way to pick up the customer. Some of them wave their hand at me, indicating that they are not going to stop to take me as a customer. In general, taking taxis works well for me and I rarely have issues.

Link? I have chatted up many a cute boy whom I passed in public, and pursued some of them until I got them to my room. It was difficult business, I spent too much time and money to make it worth. None of them spoke English, everything was in Thai.

Online dating can be slow and difficult. I have spent many hours without result, but every now and then you find a gem. Continue and you might get to a point where you can judge from profile and exchanging a few message if it's worth persuing.

When I meet someone for the first time, it's straight to bed. If that goes well, I would go with him again and extend to activities outside of bed. So much can go wrong (the boy not enjoying the activities, having other plans for later, ...).

I went to the sauna a few times, but I never stayed there. Too expensive and too far away. I like to stay in walking distance to Pub Street, town center, gay bars, restaurants, market.

Currently it's 60 days visa free for most Western countries. However, that can change within a few days. If I had the choice between 35 and 30 days, I would book flights for 30 days so I won't have to do and extension or apply for visa if the visa free stay is reduced to 30 days in the time between booking my flight and arriving in Thailand.

I go to Hua Hin every year for a few days to visit a friend who stays there over winter. There is one or two gay bars and no gay massage that I know of. The bars were not busy every time we went, and usually I left alone. Online dating is slow as well. Sometimes I find someone, sometimes not. For me, both bars and online poor.

I have done all the sightseeing around Siem Reap, but nowadays I stay a few days every time I'm in Cambodia for boy business. I have a few regulars, free and paid, and in my opinion boy business in SR is great!

Thanks for your detailed reply. I correct my statement: for the average tourist, passing through, without local knowledge or acquaintances, there is nothing to gain. There are no gay bars and online dating was disappointing as well. I do my gay activities in places where I don't have to look for gay bars with a magnifying glass and navigate a minefield of cultural and legal differences. From internet: Religion in Kazakhstan Islam (69.3%). A Kazakh lady friend who lives abroad told me that for her, as a women, with Islam the dominant religion, there is very limited chance for professional advancement.

I was in the Stans in May and the situation for gays is dire. Details in my blog: https://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2025/08/no-gay-activities-may2025-uzbekistan.html

Don't confuse what they ask for and what is actually agreed on . I never pay more than 20 USD on first date, most agree, the other few I let go to try their luck with someone else. It seems upscale hotels have problems with guests. I stay mid class and never a problem. I don't even know what a breakfast buffet. I have the same range of experiences (in all my various trips to Cambodia, most recent Feb2025), but in general I prefer Cambodian boys over Thai. I have more favorites in Cambodia than in Thailand, even though spend more time in Thailand than in Cambodia. For me, Siem Reap is almost as productive for sex as Pattaya, however I get some for free in Siem Reap, which is rare in Pattaya.

It's near Soi 101. Correct location on Google maps, and it says: 3 Lat Phrao 101/1, Khlong Chan, Bang Kapi, Bangkok 10240

No 5 Massage is no more. I asked staff at the restaurant that took over the front (building itself closed) and the staff all went to one of the massages around the corner (Gecko and neighbors).

Why do you think so? I was in Myanmar last month and had a good time visiting their massage places. Telegram and X works better than Grindr to find these places. Curfew 1-3 am is largely irrelevant as there is very little activity outside after nightfall (for electricity outage most areas dark and nothing to do). A friend refused to come to my place at 21 because he wouldn't be able to get a taxi back home 23 (but stayed over night another day). I was usually home by 20 and in bed by 22. https://t.me/napspa is a correct link to a telegram profile but: username not found.

https://www.evisa.gov.kh/ says Visa T Fee: USD 30. Anyway, the evisa has been 30 USD for a while, with a processing fee of 6 USD for (well for what? for online payment? online processing?). The news is either outdated or wrong or fake. Visa T on arrival at airport 30 USD, on land borders technically as well, but might require additional payment.

Shuttle bus to airport is 8 USD and takes over 1 hour alone. The bad news is, similar is to be expected for Phnom Penh once the new airport is open. (Not as bad as in Siem Reap 45 km; current airport 11 km to riverside, new airport 25 km.)
