Don't use a hard side bag as your carry-on, use a soft side bag. You are less likely to have a stuffed soft side luggage taken from you and checked at the gate for being oversized. That said... Do you really want to spend several weeks in Thailand with nothing more than what you crammed into a carry-on? You may grow to hate that decision very quickly. True lost luggage is a very rare occurrence. Most "lost" luggage is actually just delayed luggage. That's a pain in the ass, but in most cases the luggage will arrive on a later flight and be delivered to you by the airline the next day. That happened to me once on an AA flight from Narita to LAX. American delivered the bag the next day to my house. Besides, if your bag disappears never to be seen again, your travelers insurance will take care of replacing stuff. The airline will also have a compensation policy for vanished bags. If you are flying Cathay Pacific, you really shouldn't have any worries. They have had a rough couple of years due to Covid and the Chinese government's crazed handling of the Hong Kong takeover, but stellar service has always been their calling card and they likely still strive for that these days. It's what they're known for. You should be able to trust them.

Here in Los Angeles, California in the US where I reside they started offering the vaccine to these groups below Monkeypox vaccine is now available to the following high-risk groups: Gay or bisexual men and transgender people who had: Multiple or anonymous sex partners in the last 14 days OR (NEW) Skin-to-skin or intimate contact (e.g., kissing, hugging) with persons at large venues or events in the past 14 days. (NEW) Persons of any gender or sexual orientation who engaged in commercial and/or transactional sex in the past 14 days (e.g., sex in exchange for money, shelter, food, and other goods or needs) I am/was past 14 days since I had any direct skin contact with anyone, but given I'm a single guy who's always on the hunt I took the opportunity to get the vaccine especially since I plan to be doing some "high risk" by their standards activity soon lol. I've now gotten my first shot a week ago from today. My arm still is itching, the injection site is a little red, and has a bit of a bump. Now just got to get my 2nd shot 3 weeks from today. I'd rather deal with those vaccine side effects than catch this though. I'd advise anyone else that's here in LA to get it while you can too especially if you like me are hoping to be frolicking with lots of lb and gg between now and the end of 2022.

Yes it is. I stayed there in May 2022. Took tons of ladyboys from CIB and Cindy's to my room. Absolutely no problem.

Again. In Thailand people got vaccinated for smallpox to a much later date than in the west. Plenty of people in the scene have the vaccine scar on their arm. Those vaccines are lifetime effective and cross protect against monkeypox. This is the current hypothesis of why some countries have almost no spread. I can tell you with absolute certainty that this disease is not strongly underreported. Those blisters are huge, very painful and very visible. If you simply don’t have sex with anyone with blisters, your chance to get monkeypox go from absolutely neglible to theoretically possible in Thailand. If you are still worried, get vaccinated. Several countries in the west have started vaccinating At risk groups. In France we get a lot of foreigners coming here for vaccination.

Men having sex with men is the point of this forum. Looks like it'll be buyer beware for the foreseeable future.

Am setting myself a challenge for the 2nd trip of 2022. Only going with a carry-on case, no checked luggage. I don't like all these new reports of luggage going missing all around the world. Shame as I have a 2x 23kg allowance with Cathay Pacific but I don't wanna risk my main case going missing. So am after any travel or packing hacks you know of. So far I have found a travel case that weighs only 554 grams and with clothing, footwear,1staid kit and a washbag am currently sitting at 5.85kg. I will be taking my laptop so I can cram things like chargers,leads,power banks etc in the laptop bag as that never gets weighed. One hack a friend tells me about is getting a travel neck pillow, taking the stuffing out and cramming small items like socks inside (maybe a t-shirt rolled up also) as that never gets weighed. Toiletries I usually get when in Thailand but do take my own aftershave and razor. Am thinking when at Heathrow Terminal 3 there is a Boot chemist airside so could get some items there. Any other tips or hacks I haven't thought of that you know?

When I do a carry- on only trip I always use one of these.... https://www.scottevest.com/products/rfid-travel-vest-for-men I get in my iPad,phones,chargers,cables,medicines,documents,passport,keys,sunglasses etc . You can really get a lot of stuff in.And it makes going through security easier too.Instead of having to take out your coins,keys,metallic objects...you just slip off the vest and put it in the tray and walk through the check while they do the scan.I put a pair of sneakers in ,one time! If you've got time before your trip, see if you can pick up a used one on ebay or amazon. They also do shirts , shorts, windbreakers with loads of pockets. A bit pricey, but well functional.

Thats what I say to some of the lb's!.

Thats just… wrong. I get the swastika has more meanings than just nazi propaganda but to exhibit it like this on a flag is just bad taste.

Centara is a colonial style hotel, a wonderful one obviously. The beach, the town. Good services. I understand there are also excellent restaurants in Hua Hin, outside the hotel - Everest, indian restaurant, five mins from the hotel, sea-food restaurants in the night market, etc.

Bolt or Grab, or all thai taxi will give you a cheaper fare than a normal taxi. You can get an estimate fare on their website/app.

Landmark and Sofitel are great hotels. But for the same prices you will get a much bigger room in Mercure soi 11 or Adelphi Suites soi 8 - I would say 30 sqm / 50 sqm - Depends what you prefer (I prefer the bigger room). Discreet ??? Are you scared of being seen by someone you know with a ladyboy while coming back to your hotel ? Well ... It can happen. I once met a work mate in Nana Plaza. I didn't know he was in Thailand. I was alone, just coming back from a short time session with a ladyboy in a Nana Plaza short-time room. Hmmm. To avoid that : - Take a session in the short time room of the bars (Cindy's, CIB, Chaos 9, Why Not all have short time rooms upstairs). - Barfine the girl and tell her to be in 30 mins at your hotel. Give her your room number. Come back first to your hotel and tell the receptionist a guest will be there soon and that she can go up to your room. - Book a girl with Smooci or another escort agency or Thaifriendly. She will go to your room.

Landmark ! Hands down.

I've always gone to Fortune Town. It's opposite Central Rama 9 and can be reached by Rama9 Station on the MRT.

Thank you for the reply

I have to admit fellas, I'm a little worried about this. I'm no hypochondriac, I never feared covid at all the last 3 years, I just don't get how this isn't ripping through the p4p scene in Thailand. Specifically the gay p4p scene. I kinda have this gut feeling that it will explode and when it explodes you don't want to be there. I'm pretty bummed about it, I'm finally gearing up for a trip after 3 years and at the very least it's going to make me super cautious, no more trawling the lower suhkumvit area drunk as a skunk and blowing 3 ladyboys in a 2 hour window. That's where the fun was.

I have never seen anyone carrying or displaying a Nazi flag in this country, much less "plenty of people" marching on the streets doing so. Oh sure, cable "news" networks love taking some tiny and extreme example of American life and depicting as typical, but that's because peddling bullshit sensationalism is their business. Anybody who does something as dumb as parading around as a Nazi either has his head bashed in by bystanders or ends up publicly identified, and then loses his job, is doxxed etc. It's a very unpleasant existence for Nazi or Confederacy enthusiasts after they out themselves and they deserve it. In a country of 320,000,000 people, of course there are some clowns who display offensive symbols or say offensive things. They are allowed to do that because of the first amendment of the US Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech. The first amendment also guarantees the right of other people to loudly oppose them, shout them down and that's exactly what happens in the case of Nazis and the like. That's the beauty of the first amendment. Anybody can say anything but nobody has the last word.

Everytime I take prep, I have pretty bad diarhea and stopach pain, taking it for a month makes side effects dissapear. Stopping prep makes them dissapear 3 days after. most people are more lucky.

Yeah, this one isn't ambiguous. There's no "oh maybe that's a buddhist Manji". No no. It's just a straight up fucking Nazi flag.

9400 +Dengue cases this year in Thailand. 9500 road deaths in 2021 About 50 cases of Trichinosis a year Seems a bit silly to worry about the 4 cases of monkeypox of which 2 were foreign nationals when you accept the risks above. Context is everything. Only realistic preventure measure is to avoid contact with people who have blisters. I assume that goes without saying.

Long gone. These freak shows were actually more common in a handful of bars in Phuket/Patong Beach. Curiosity got the better of me and I took in a show in Phuket. Ping pong balls, razor blades, and 50 yards of yarn emerged from pussies you would never want to explore. Other pussies smoked cigarettes and tried (and failed) to blow smoke rings, and fired ping pong balls and darts at targets. Weird? Yes. But also surprisingly boring.

just let us know which hotels you call at and the room numbers you had... Just to know... Lol

Thanks all--- Just some feedbag...I live by the river (actually about 200 ft from my window), but I tried the bumgun anyway. Tight against my ass was the only way it would penetrate. I pushed the trigger of the bum gun and started filling up like a waterballoon. After a short time, I stopped and then blew it all out again, and could see by looking in the toilet that it was effective. Not only that I but I didn't seem to get diareah or a parasite (too early to completely tell since parasites take a while to incubate, but I think I'm OK). There's one point about enemas (for sex at least): you're only supposed to fill your rectum, which is the part that goes from your asshole to the "transverse colon", transverse because it's parallel to the ground, not vertical like your rectum. You want to fill the rectum, but not the transverse colon, or you'll have shit leaking out of you for hours, worse than the original problem. This video explains more:
