Gayslut Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Spent Christmas in bkk. Ran into a protest while shopping at Central World but everything was peaceful. Had one of the best holidays & I managed to fulfill my own agenda, which is to bed a Bodybuilder. :-) Quote http://memoirsofagayslut.blogspot.sg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enelym1978 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Where to watch those live gay fucking shows? How much will it cost? Intending to bring my bf there for some exposure! It's on Soi Cowboy, off Surawong Road, parallel to Silom. Dream Boy and all those bars there offer these kind of shows.... they are basically free to get in but with a mandatory drink... I think cheapest drink is about 300-500THB. Not sure how this change cuz once I went and it was 300 and another time it was 500... maybe weekdays vs weekends. Don't get your expectations too high though... those shows are kinda ridiculous... more funny than arousing And some perf are even gross... the one where they pull ribbons out of their a$$holes for example. We were glad we didn't get first row seats haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Don't get your expectations too high though... those shows are kinda ridiculous... more funny than arousing Yeah, I second the statement. Some of the sex is very mechanical i.e. insert 20 times, change position, insert 10 times, move and present different angle to the audience. For an artistic people, the choreography leaves very much to be desired. Having said that, for a first timer it can be quite an eye opener, esp if the first timer has not seen any (other than onlylonely ) erect men (other than on the net) before.

Manbane Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Dreamboy show is really quite funny. Those tranny can fuck lol. As for the sex show, its more of acrobatic circus sex which is really not erotic. But still, i enjoy it a lot. Also, if you are scared of being pull on stage, don't seat too close to the stage. I was pulled up by the performer once and its kinda embarrassing. But at least they never remove my clothes or anything. My partner told me in Nov, they change part of the comedy. A customer was literally stripped naked with his hands on his crotch on stage with the trans surrounding him. As for Jupiter, well the shows is "classy" or "trying too hard" depending on individual take. I find it boring after seeing it once, but i do have friends going for it year after year as a "must visit" Tawan shows can be erotic or terribly wrong when the performer is off season. But i do find the SM bondage show most erotic among the gogoshows..except for the performer not really my type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shutdown of the government buildings, not a shut down of the entire city.... you should be fine.Maybe a day or two before, check Suvarnabhumi's website to make sure the airport is not affected, but that's about all I would worry about. Maybe also check the airline's announcement regarding Bangkok. Cathay Pacific has a page about it regarding waiving change fees for tickets booked before December 2013 for flights..... now. If really, you can also check the travel advisory page of your home government. They all have a page like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manbane Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I am also deciding whether to cancel my trip during CNY. I asked a protestor friend and he said their protests are largely peaceful. Its the media who want to potray them in a bad light to exert pressure by scaring tourists away.He said it will be no different from the Dec situation. Having said that, with a large number of protesters, it can easily become chaotic even if unintended. So i am waiting till 15 Jan to decide whether i will go BKK month end.

abang Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 As I've mentioned earlier, I have flights to Bangkok in 2 weeks' time.I am monitoring the situation very closely as I do FEAR for my life.. What I am doing daily is to read Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (http://www.mfa.gov.sg/content/mfa/consular_information/for_singapore_citizens/travel_notices/2014/201401/travelnotice_20140107.html)and the Bangkok Post website (http://www.bangkokpost.com/news) Yes the Pratunam intersection is going to be the main rally site on Mon 13 Jan 2014 onwards... It looks like the area north of the canal (Lumpini northwards) will be filled with all sorts of protestors...the anti-government ones, the government ones and latest, the University students ....

I have friends, planned to travel this coming week, cancelling the trip. The intending Bangkok Shut-down, hopefully, does not involve the shutting down of Suvarnabhumi Airport. Though it has always seemed to be a peaceful protest, one will never know the intensity from 13 January since the Red Shirts are now participating (retaliating) too. Should you still have to travel, do eRigister yourself with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at at This Site. Travel safe and avoid the large crowds and demonstrations.

Enelym1978 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 On the Swiss Embassy website, it says that they will cause traffic disturbances in BKK from January 13th till the elections but that protesters announced that they would not affect the airports, access to the airports and air traffic. However, travelers need to expect jams and should plan their ways to and from the airports accordingly. There is no warnings or advices against going to Thailand as of today on that site. Sorry, not available in English though. http://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/fr/home/travad/hidden/hidde2/thaila.html But if you can re-schedule, and re-plan your flights and hotel, I would do it... just for peace of mind.

You can always read a page written in French (or other language) on a modern browser, which gives you the option to translate the whole page (with right-button click) Surely it is much better to be a tourist in Bangkok these days than a merchant or business owner or student.

Demonstrators look rather harmless, I would not mind them too much. As long as they don't block the rails of the MRT or BTS, they may not hurt much. With less street traffic due to blockage, it may even be more convenient for tourists to walk on the streets, with less pollution and congestion.

joyousdude Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hello, I'm back!Since everyone concerns is on the protest - i would recommend that if you're heading there this month for vacation, i would rather you postponed it to a later date.On 13th, everything seems really peaceful - with crowds marching along the main street causing only one lane for all the cars/taxi/motorcycles/tuktuk to cross, therefore if you want to head down to malls like Centre World/Erawan and all - you have to walk if not a BTS station near your hotel is definitely needed.I've spoke to some locals - they don't expect any violence throughout this protest however they warned that the whole shutdown will evolved gradually and in time to come, will be affecting tourist attractions and worst, airports.So if you're planning to head down this particular month, if possible - just delay your plans to save all the hassle.========================================================================================================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guez Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Rhi thanks everyone who replied...i took the plunge n am now here...its actually quite exciting n electrifying with the protests here....can get souvenirs on protest too....quite surreal, as these protestors were taking bts to get to protest sites, n since some of these sites were at shopping malls, u see them taking breaks to go into the shopping malls to shop, esp at mbk, or to use,the toilets. The protest will reach climax after six when people finish work n take bts to join protest crowd....massive stages wete set up with song n skits featured to keep protestors entertained, interspersed with pklitical speeches...at some points, i though i was attending open air rock concerts! I know its wrong to say this, but this yellow shirt protest like much more fun than the red shirt one which i saw a few years back..prob because yellow shirt richer? Now tempted to go chiang mai to see how tbe red shirt do their protest. But seriously, u gotta give credit to the yellow shirt. This is a massive well organised protest. Just the logistics alone is mind boggling and everyone plays their part so well, whether its leading the singing or cheering, or responding with their myriad of weapons which include the deafening whistles, the flag, the hand shaped thingy, etc. The turnout is truly impressive n u can really feel the patriotism....puts our hong lim park protest to shame. But then, i m glad we dont have this kind of protests here, a.d that we never will. On a last note, still plenty of tourists here, but perhaps few of the large family with children kind.

Manbane Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Bangkok political situation is changing daily. Protesters and government are both getting quite desperate so tensions are likely to escalate. Having said that, right now the mood is still pretty much festive. My Thai friend said Sauna mania is still as crowded. The locals don't seem to be very much affected and its the media who over-hyped the reports. I think it should still be relatively safe this period if you avoid the protests sites n read the major websites for news update. Worst case, just stay inside hotel and chill, use the facilities...go for massages nearby your hotel =) This itself is already worth the trip. Also, during this period..due to the protests, quite a few nice hotels are giving good discounts which makes it more attractive. I think i will proceed to BKK during CNY period..going for 2 weeks unless they started going crazy and do mass killing (which i seriously doubt). Thai people are really quite peaceful in general.
