Just some quick notes on Bali..... I'm not sure why it's not more visited from board members. Generally less expensive than some other places and not so transactional like Thailand.

The gay life is pretty active, even if it's only a couple of gay bars,  but Mixwell is fun all nights, weekends are packed.

 

It seems like Grindr blows up the first day or 2, because WE are fresh meat. Since there isn't such an influx of gay visitors like in Thailand, the guys can be looking to hang out or meet for more than one day.

Eating local food is stupid cheap, western food= western prices. I had a NY style pizza that would rival any NY pizzeria, I was shocked.

Indonesians are usually cut and have BIG asses, a nice change from other Asian countries I visit. A lot of the guys know how to do massage, like Thailand, but cheaper.

I went on this trip with my bf from Mexico, used miles for Business class, stayed  at the Conrad Bali (used points) and got upgraded to an amazing suite with a private pool and direct ocean access.

I was in the hotel business and the GM put me on the VIP guest list.... every worker knew me from sight, I wanted to adopt/marry one of the 21 yr old waiters in the Diamond lounge....I felt like a rock star. I also visited the Hard Rock Cafe, where I knew the manager from Jakarta, also made us feel like rock stars. Was a most memorable amazing trip, plus between Thai and Singapore in Business class, my BF is NEVER leaving me, lol

I'm in Pattaya now, will post something later.....

welcome home

Thnk u Rob for the post. I'm thinking about a first trip to Bali. If u could expand on venues and prices and visitors-friendly hotels, I'd b grateful.

2 specific questions: 

Do guys speak english?

Beside big asses, do they also have big dicks?

I went to Indonesia many years ago now...almost a decade I think. 

Contacted on Grindr as you say. Met up with one Grindr guy and completely didn't get that he was a MB until it was too late. Felt a bit sheepish afterwards.

I liked Bali. Loved central Java for a variety of reasons.

Guys speak English, about like Thailand.
There are nice sized dicks, and everyone I was with was hard before taking their pants off, lol

massage only on Grindr was like 13usd and with sex 26usd....some might ask for more at first, but those are pretty standard prices. And like Thailand, be aware some pics are photoshopped, so ask for most recent pics.
 

For massage venues, Shameless Mack recently did an in depth review of the gay ones in Bali
https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/category/bali/

There is 3 gay bars, all next to each other, I like Mixwell the most, is bigger and super friendly people.

Depending on your hotel budget, there is everything available look in the Seminyak area to be closer to the gay scene

Thx again!

The Indonesian providers you meet in Bali are almost universally not Balinese. The majority are Javanese and Sundanese; some are from Sumatra or Lombok. All are cut because they are typically Muslim or Muslim-adjacent. 😃

The VAST majority of native Balinese men are uncut, whether they are Hindu or Christian.

Is why I said Usually...I've with with a number of Balinese and other nationalities that are there as tourists.

I like Cut for a change, I'm usually in places where everyone is uncut, which was a novelty for me when I lived in Boston, but not anymore 😉
