selling some of your gold faucets can help to finance such a trip

If you can afford gold faucets, I doubt your have to sell anything!

I've got a friend in Japan who has a gold bathroom, complete with gold toilet seat.

He runs a trucking company throughout Japan, transporting goods to supermarkets.

I always wanted to ask him if everything was 18 karat gold or just gold-plated.

I would think the former, but thought it would be rude to ask.🤣🤣

I would love to travel Australia but so expensive

A good friend of mine from Victoria travelled around Australia for six months in a rented campervan. This was about 15 years ago; I hear it's harder now due to restrictions on the parking of campervans? Anyway, I'm sure a-447 would be able to help you find a suitable trailer park in Western Australia if you decide to go that route.

Ten years ago, my cousin, our mutual friend and I went on a month's road trip from Auckland to Dunedin. It was the best road trip that I've ever been on (not that I've been on many). We hired a car in Auckland and drove south, staying in motels and B&Bs. And you know what struck me the most - not the gorgeous scenery, not the friendliness of the people, not the strong winds, all of which were true - but how unafraid the animals were of humans. Every cat, dog, bird, horse and frog we ran into at the B&Bs, motels, etc didn't run away from us and were extremely docile and friendly. This suggested to me that the locals must have been really kind to them and indeed we saw this for ourselves. I felt that they were at one with nature and people who are kind to animals win in my book, every time.

I don’t find it too expensive once you’re here but the flights are ridiculous. Plenty of senior discounts but not for escorts! Eye candy everywhere though, certainly something for every taste.

To you and I perhaps but that could be the way Olddaddy and his colleagues speak in their world. 🤷 Broadly speaking, the farang I've met in Thailand are very different from the ones with whom I went to school and in my own social and professional circles and they can be quite fun in small doses.

That would be a world I would not want to be in!

PS I visit Sydney a lot and have friends there, they do not speak like that!

Is that not a heartless and unpleasant remark, whatever personality you are using.

Having multiple personalities adds interest, because you never know what personality is going to turn up. So I enjoy Olddaddy's posts.

Members using multiple handles is different matter.

God forbid!

to be honest I don't know where theory about multiple personalities is coming from , for me Olddaddy is one and only personality. Perhaps because I had pleasure to shake hands with him ?

You could just say “Wow! How do they make these?"

24 carat toilet seat would be worth hundreds of thousands. We had a solid gold toilet stolen from an exhibition in a stately home in UK, Blenheim Palace. Valued at US$6m! In my work days I met a couple of Greek billionaire shipowners. They had gold taps in the bathroom, but not toilet!

I found Bangkok gyms to be far more expensive than chain gyms in Australia and New Zealand. But that didn't stop me from going to Muscle Factory gym in On Nut. Better deals can be found in Pattaya.

Yes, personal trainers can certainly be useful to recommend exercises and to observe your technique. But don't be like some clients in my gym who spend more time chatting with the trainer rather than working out.

You can do both, as I try to do, helps time go quicker!

It's also expensive if you are looking for some 'fun'.

I had a look at Rentmen yesterday after seeing it mentioned in a post by Keithambrose.

I've already got my fun organised so I wasn't interested in finding anyone.

Prices were up to $700 (16,000 baht!) for short time with hotties like my guys here.

At that price you could get a return flight to Bangkok from Perth on a low cost carrier like Batik Air.

Depending on what you're looking for, you may be better off staying where you are!

I think you were overcharged. I pay around 400, max 500 for BB, but that's around GBP 265, not out of line for London. Inflation you know. Everything else has gone up, after all!

but I think that the issues are going to be same for you as a gay person as most of the straight people on that sub. The stories sound very much like what you hear in Thailand.

I think straight people are more foolish chasing pussy than we are with dick/ass..... they claim pussy has some magical powers, imagine if they tried cock?

I think he'll meet better bf material guys in PH, harder working in general....but maybe more jealous than a latin 😛
