The Gay Forum at the Thai Visa Message Board (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showforum=27) has only one big drawback, and that is over-regulation. Apparently the ThaiVisa powers-that-be hold all the Forums on a fairly tight leash, so it has not much opportunity to grow into the den of iniquity this place is.
But that doesn't mean it's not worth a visit, and they do have some good discussion there.
I found this thread there which I think is definitely worth reading, and one which does not happen often on this Board (without deteriorating), and that is a discussion about the state of . . . the difficulties inherent in . . . and the few-and-far-between-ness of . . . "successful" (your definition!) & lasting long-term relationships between Farang gay men and mature (let's say 25-40 year olds) Thai men.
Perhaps I am one of the few here who are interested in this topic as I am on the cusp of (semi) retiring to Thailand to shack up with a Thai man who would probably be deemed "over the hill" on this Board (he's 37), and with whom I've had a monogamous ~ Yes! It's true! ~ relationhip with for 6 years now.
But then, perhaps I'm NOT the only one interested.
At any rate, the thread now happening on Thai Visa on this subject can be found here: Farang/Thai long-term relationships (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=57978&st=0)
It's a 3-pager already, so obviously there are lots of thoughts on the subject.
Cheers ...
