The down-turn began before Covid. The improvements (including an excellent-I'm told- fitness room and the massage rooms) were underused just as BT was dying.
My worry was that the pricing for...
It would be a loss. That area is being developed with up-market apartments. It's a bit like Babylon in that the site must be unusually valuable.
I feel sorry for Punya if it does close; he put a...
Yes, The Agate is excellent. But don't book through Agoda; email the hotel and you will get a vastly better price. I've just booked a November visit at 1200 pn...no breakfasts yet, though. My...
It really is in your hands. When I was in the game, I was happy with the "you come, he go" arrangement, swearing that I didn't wish to be too involved. Of course, the gods had other plans for me.......
Like Dodger, I used to enjoy a couple of days in BKK....but that was when Babylon was open. The real holiday started on my arrival in Pattaya.
I have a theory about the differences between the...
May I make a general comment concerning Max6969 and his visit?
I hope that you are getting the advice you need- you will see that there is consensus amongst regulars as to what you will find.

Are there "single" rooms available in Thailand? I don't think I've ever come across one.
Following Mancs's advice, I'd add two points. Firstly, the most expensive 5* hotels may require a joiner'...
I need time to think about that.
What I don't need to spend time on is the following; many Thai guys keep their looks for years after we do. There's a couple of guys (retired from the scene in...
Yes.... in Chariots, Shoreditch. Two different ones. I was sixty or so at the time. However, my memory played me false; the first was from a border town in Malaysia. Ethnically similar to Thais. By...
My experiences in various saunas in Thailand- Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai-.suggest that there are cases of young, cute Thais being attracted to us. Not many. In fact, very few. But some. It even...
Of course.
However, wouldn't you agree there are degrees of "not getting turned on"? after all, the act itself may well repel straight guys, even if the "buyer" is a cute, youngish Thai. And there...
I've just been discussing this with P, whose local hospital in the north is still affected badly by Covid .
We've agreed that, once we arrive in Pattaya next month, we shall continue to wear our...
It's not a question of whom the guy prefers but of what the gay man who's paying wants.
We've explored this issue frequently over the years; there is a clear difference in taste between those of...
Not necessarily; EVA's LHR- Taipei service has be running for some time. I think you'll find that the first BKK flight (a stop-over for BR 68) is on 5 July.
Following paulfort's post, I checked EVA flights; as I thought, the weekly July flights are full. I suspect that the decision a few weeks ago to cut the proposed July flights to one a week had a...
I am booked on the 11 July EVA flight to BKK. At the moment, the only flights there are on Tuesdays. I've just checked the site and I suspect that the flight is more or less full. The pre-flight...
I recall that in those days- the Golden Age- the soi, while not having the passing traffic encouraged by open host bars, was as much a hive of activity as Boyztown proper. In fact, once Cockpit...
I find the mamasan's treatment of the guy even more reprehensible than the rudeness to a customer. To embarrass both parties like that is unforgiveable....we know what catawampuscat's reaction was...
I went there once, in 1996. I liked the beaches and stayed in a beautiful hotel right next to the sea at Charweng. I enjoyed a good boat-trip to some uninhabited islands.
In those days, I was...
I never entered David and, as I said, my memory was only jogged by that 2012 magazine. Colmx may well be right; he has more confidence than me in his recollections. I'd also suggest that the...
Looking through some old gay magazines picked-up in Bangkok (Max, Variety, Spice and so on), I came across advertisements for a gogo bar called "David" in Pattayaland Soi 1, circa 2012. The photo...
Rumours....I emphasise the word....that the TP is up for discussion again this week and may be quickly dropped. I heard it first from a Youtube correspondent.
Yes, joking apart, one of the reasons I always enjoyed twink bars (and twinks) more than BBB et al was that the dancers usually smiled. I never liked that "I'm Mr Cool" style, suspecting it was...
