My opinion on the matter is worth nothing as I've never been to TJ's, but 1st I want to say that Aitch, whom I don't know, was doing a good job of promoting the place with all the photos he took. It ain't easy to be "working" while everyone else is drankin' and having a good time. That said, I might have found 5-10% of the workers in the photos MCOT. So whenever I made it back to Pats, TJ's wasn't very high on my list. I am however, a big fan of spacious, smoke free venues (not sure if TJ's was smoke free), where there is music, but it's not so loud that you can't hold a conversation with a person 1 meter away from you.

Rom, will you please use the feminine pronoun for LBs? Using 'he' makes your posts a little confusing to read sometimes. Besides LBs prefer to be addressed as she. I have checked this. One LB told me that she would consider being called 'he' insulting.

This Ladyman is currently in Saigon, very nice

PG with you I can't be sure if you are joking or serious. Just in case: that's a dancer slut from Angelwitch. NOT Sam. Thanks seven. I arrived on the scene more like 30+ years ago. First time in TH late 1980s as a grad student. Started mongering in the early 90s. So much has changed since then. Mongeringwise and societal. Maybe I will start a thread on that... I love Sam's looks and we had a memorable LT after I met him at Why Not? So much so, I plan to be with him again and am going to some trouble to adjust my trip plans accordingly. I am also not going to show here the nudies of Sam in case someone snitches and ruins my plans... I don't think he remembered me when he first saw me at Why Not?, but when I told him the nickname the Baby Boom crew gave me ("Pokemon" I am a man of many names) she instantly stood in attention and knew this was also her chance to be with one of the prime farang characters of the ladyboy scene ... ---------------------- I wrote above and I reiterate here that this TR will be patchy and peppered with personal reflections. Sexwise, already so much has happened in this trip that I could keep you all entertained for another 10 posts just with my bedroom adventures, all documented with pics if I choose to show them which I will in some cases, others not. But now I am at a turning point of the trip. Here is another personal reflection post: It's PM in Pattaya and as I write these words a wonderful skinny sissy with the thickest cock you can imagine lies by my side frantically looking at infomercials on her cellphone. She has no intention of leaving my room and I would be a fool to push her out. I am trying to convince myself it's not a good idea to bring her to BKK when I go back in 3 days (that would mean no more Sam! or fresh new sissies...). Also as I write these words, there is a 50+ yo lady stalker waiting for me outside the hotel and by chance I spotted her from my 3rd floor balcony. To go for late breakfast/brunch at the Beer Garden I sent the sissy ahead, and then I exited special forces style waiting for the right time when she was looking away to crawl behind a row of potted plants until I was out of her field of vision... then to come back the sissy distracted her while I sneaked in from the opposite direction. I know she starts her work shift at Rayong at 5 PM, so she should be out of here soon. If not, I will have to confront her. The hotel staff is instructed not to let her in. I will post about this shuned MILF later. It is an interesting story of who is the hunter or the prey... Was it all masterfully staged for me? Or am I the masterful one? Back to the sissy lying next to me. She was one of those in my return-to-TH bucket list but we had not communicated for over a year and I thought she had become unavailable (as happened with Chalita who was also on my bucket list and declined to see me). I waited until yesterday to contact the loving sissy and she immediately came to my room and gave me the most intense, passionate bargirl (she is not one) sex you can imagine. She even brought a small projector that shone stars in changing colors on the bedroom ceiling to the sound of a playlist that started with the Queen's "Love of my Life"... I had had sex with her before but I swear her cock is even bigger now and that was already a huge thick cock to start with. She wanted to fuck me last night, but I insisted I be the one to fuck her first, except my cock was not rising to the occasion due to a massage a couple hours earlier that degenerated into a hand job. But thanks to the folks at the KY Corporation, I managed to slip it in her improbably tight and blemish-free bunghole and faked an orgasm as we kissed passionately. She came from the friction of her cock against my gut and then I positioned myself sideways behind her with my cock still inside her and we both fell asleep in loving spooning embrace. My ass lives to see another day, but it's only a matter of time... All this to say that I am done butterflying here in Pattaya, both sissies and GGs period! I post pics of my loving sissy with her projections machine, and a few samples of the many colorful visuals it generated:

My use of "he/she" for ladyboys was raised here at LBR LAST YEAR and I went to considerable self-analytical length to provide an explanation in a post I am giving the link to below. If you read my previous post here in this very page and just prior to the 2 critical posts above, I used "she" for the loving ladyboy. And on the penultimate post I used "he" for Sam (who wanted to top me). Like most authors trying to express themselves in writing the best they can, I have my own literary style that reflects my emotions and I repressed it at PY and here initially for far too long to conform to BM expectations such as the ones that are being tried to be imposed on me. I will continue to TR with "he-s" and "she-s" as it flows, so please read the post below and don't bring up the matter again in a self-righteous manner. To the extent that it makes some BMs uncomfortable, perhaps it's a constructive thing because NEWSFLASH! they are NOT women and you know it and may want to calibrate accordingly... Thanks Sylvester (touché by the "her")

Oh lighten up guys. Rom is just playing around. It’s just her style of writing.

Geez bbg, this will be the second time I have given you accolades. I totally agree about the use of "he". FFS. I have a feeling it is used as a device for stirring.

Bloody hell! Woodie, QG, BB... you are coming here soon. Now, i'm not 100% sure, because i can only speak English, but i think that PD is saying 'don't bring any CDs to sell here, especially broken ones' ... heed his warning.. i guess that includes country and western CDs QG, sorry. maybe after the fed stops hiking

Thanks for the rundown , Rom. I have a feeling we have similar taste and arrived at the scene around the same time some 15-20 years ago, so your report means a lot for me. I gave Bkk a miss the last few trips as I got too much of it about a decade ago. Still have many fond memories and would love to go back one day. Nana shitpits was a lost cause well over 5 years ago. I always liked Patpong, my time in Soi Cowboy was pre Cockatoo days so maybe that soi is still ok. A bit sad reading that last sentence, but I could see the changes going on in Bkk on my last visit which is years ago now. Thanks for the summary. Much appreciated.

There is another thread with Overrated Bands... surprising that there seems to be consensus on who those are....such as The Who and Genesis and The Doors. How about UNDERRATED BANDS?

Killing Joke Metal Church KMFDM Front 242 Warrior Soul Type O Negative Fear Factory Sepultura Dream Theater Queensryche Apoptygma Berzerk I want to include Wumpscut but sadly its not a real "band".. its a studio project by 1 guy who is very skilled with multiple instruments and vocals so he layers the tracks and releases them.

I spent several wonderful evenings with Sam during her early days at Baby Boom, before the bolt-ons. She has a very unique beauty and charm. I liked her so much that I took her up to BKK for a few nights, and brought her to Why Not Bar where I introduced her to Iain and Nam, and a few of the courtesans. We had a fun and memorable evening there. She enjoyed herself very much. I was planning for her to be my first encounter during my upcoming trip to Thailand, but I might have to change my plans now that you have contaminated her with your DNA. Thanks a lot, you slut!

Once Mama Em moved TJ's from its original location streetside to its current location in the back corner of the property (where another misguided soul had a short-lived ladyboy cabaret bar) I had misgivings. Turns out they were well founded. One of the keys to a successful business is the "3 L's" - Location, Location, Location. TJ's failed on two of them and the new one has not been successful. It is a current ghost of itself populated nightly by only one or two stalwarts Em has designated to hold the fort. She has instead opened "M&M Sports and Music Bar" just around the corner on Naklua Road. The good news? It's a better location. The not-so-good news? It has been designated as a GG bar. In reality only a few GG's were hired and virtually all the TJ staff has migrated over to it, making it a mixed bar, and one of dubious quality. I personally have left Mama Em's environs entirely and permanently, completely disenchanted for numerous reasons, and as of today will no longer be moderating this page. Respond as you may, I shall be passing neither explanations nor further commentary, and will close and lock this page as of October 1st. - Aitch

I am giving a link above to my earlier post where I sensed the demise of TJs and was even inspired to sing from an old song: Another exhilarating facet of the ladyboy world as we knew it that will be lost for good: TJ's unique experience of SPACE, OPEN SPACE with beautiful ladyboys frolicking under the sultry night sky with the implausibly nearby sea whispering during the karaoke breaks... unlike any of the other ladyboy venues that tend to be cramped and enclosed so what happens in the premises is hidden from passers-by... On a personal note, I would go there not just for the ladyboys but also to gawk at the mongers and put faces to PY-avatars, especially "my" Romscars nominees and Hall of Legenders 1 or 2 of whom could always be found at TJs on any given night. The place was so spacious they could not even tell I was checking them out... Only little momma M would recognize me from way back when her husband was alive but she never connected the dots to the misunderstood Rom shadow of an outcast so many of her patrons disliked. I dont know what is coming over me ... the monger's blues perhaps... or a broader existential crisis ... but this is what is playing in my mind as I write these words and think of TJs: Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left inside On that starry, starry night

Think of it as a hoodie on a woody, Woodie.

Right. Off to see Him. Taking the stage in 4 hours. Anything you want me to ask him?

Steely Dan April Wine B52s Robert Johnson

it's only relevant with girls who are new to blow jobs.... the kind I would get in high school. After 5 or 6 times where they nic the guys cock they learn.

Right now, nothing longer than 3 months with brokered CDs yielding better than Tbills. When the Fed stops hiking I will shift into 1 Year or 2 year Tbills as they can be sold commission free and at a decent price without much markup at Fidelity. It's not easy to dispose of brokered CDs at a good price so for me only extremely short duration. Perhaps after the coming recession I will move into stocks.

Lily, who's Lily????. WE all have short memories!. Has not as far as I am aware posted on twitter for some time.

I think all of us did. Quite generous I must say.

Perhaps one of the most boring ladymen I have ever met. Perhaps shy. Tried to talk to her many times at Baby-Boom to no avail. Most likely she wasn't into me, thats why. She reminded me of Joey Ramone. Taller than me as well. In fairness she had stiff competition from not so shy Nokyung, Atom and Nanny. I'm sure she's a great funny person, I like her looks, and hope you had a good time with her though.

It does look from Rom's pics that Em is keeping the bar and will be looking into re-opening if things do get better. Not sure when that might be with the current economic situation in Europe.

I am on record here at LBR prognosticating, as diplomatically as I could, the likely demise of TJs once they moved to the back of their mini-plaza. Because TJ's was not just about the beautiful and plentiful sissies, but the ample space no other sissy-bars have and it just felt really good to go there for a drink under the big night sky. I even had the impression I could hear the sea, which obviously I couldnt with all the music and chatter ... It was great while it lasted and we should all be greatful for the memories. TJs is the only bar ever to win TWICE the Romscars Ladyboy Bar of the Year (in 2018 and 2019) and Little Mama M was a great part of that. So RESPECT ! By chance I was there at the new digs a couple days before this thread was started and I took some spur-of-the-moment pics I share below. Mostly candids of the sissies playing pool. That particular night there was a Thai lady live singing and plenty of sexpat-looking farangs in the audience. What there was not was more than 4 or 5 ladyboys, with only 1 of them making my mouth water. There were also 2 (and only 2 I asked) barfinable ladyladies but none was anything to write home about. Just prior to going there, I had gone to the TJ's old place which had the lights on, shutters open but was completely deserted. I could have made off with a bottle of tequila that no one would have stopped me. That's when I learned from one of the hoes in the neighboring bar about the new place around the corner. I wish the best for Little Mama M and may she assemble another crew of sissies like the ones in Bumblebee's iconic pic at the top of this page.

You found her first. Let her go with you. Congratulations.

Alcohol has strange effects on Sam's face and body indeed. ((For what I see in the last 3 pics).

Getting back to the sissies... as I mentioned, the one I met on arrival and had planned to go to Trang with left after 2 nights and we haven't chatted since. Not that there is any hostility. Just mutual awkwardness as we both know we will never meet each other again as lovers, and absent that what is there for us to meet for? So night #3 in BKK I was a free monger on the prowl and that's when I went to Nana and marveled at the sights. Soi 4 is rocking, as is NEP with very attractive women all over pulling you into their respective establishments. I peeked into the go-gos and they were reasonably staffed some with topless dancers and even some nudie ones on the 3rd floor. Then I had dinner at The Jungle and saw the lively freelancer street action with very enticing picks. Across the street from me was Hooters that now occupies the space of what used to be the Nana Hotel cafeteria and lobby and I wondered what is going on with that legendary hotel, which I recall someone else calling "the mothership." Having been to Check-In Bar the night before, I decided to go to Why Not? next and check out their sissies. I forgot they had moved and made my way to their old location in Asoke but it was not a total waste of time because on the way there I did beer stops at the Thermae and at that new bar mini-plaza on soi 7 where I found a gem of a bar girl I seriously considered barfining and calling it a night. I also peeked at Soi Cowboy from the main entrance and it seemed in good shape (unlike Patpong). When I finally made it to Why Not? I was very impressed by how well and tastefully it is fitted, but not so much by the staff who were no more than 5 or 6 and heavily botoxed. I thought I would just finish my beer and go somewhere else, but that's when that old LOS magic happened: a sissy comes out of the backstage and I immediately knew I was going to barfine her. Said sissy was none other than a former Baby Boom staff I always wanted to barfine but never got a chance to, be it because a certain pesky PY photographer was always taking her upstairs or because other Baby Boom sissies who had known me for longer put dibs on me. The nom-de-guerre of that sissy-fantasy-come-true is Sam. Just Sam. Possibly the tallest sissy I ever fucked at 1m 85 and rail-thin as I like them. He got the bolt-ons which I dislike in general but in his case they make for a very striking silhouette, so I exceptionally approve. Having agreed on a LT, it was still too early to fuck and sleep and I suggested we go to a new club next to the Nana, but it was also too early for it and the few guys there were Arab-looking and they were playing Arab music, so we passed. I then suggested we go to one of the NEP bars and that's when Sam said he had never been to a girlie go-go (hard to believe but apparently none of his customers took him) so I took him to Angelwitch as I knew they have stage shows that might capture Sam's attention. But once there, we barely looked at the stage and just had a blast with a couple girls I bought ladydrinks for. Sam claims he has no problem fucking girls, so I look forward to barfining him again and get us some pussy. I took some pretty good pics of Sam in the room, but I don't want to risk being ratted before meeting her again so maybe later in the TR when I leave TH for the PH. For now some pics of Sam at Why Not? and partying with me at Angelwitch.

in my experience, teeth generally can be a threat. You can be put out of action for a week or so. The ideal would be a mouth bereft of choppers entirely but it wouldn't be a winning smile, would it? To risk it or not to risk it? That is the question.

The Bank of England on Monday said it is monitoring financial market developments “very closely” after a dramatic morning of market turmoil saw the British pound fall to an all-time low against the U.S. dollar. Sterling fell as much as 4.8% to trade below $1.04 in the early hours of Monday morning, extending losses from late last week when Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng outlined the new U.K. government’s so-called “mini-budget.” This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.

LONDON – The first fiscal policy announcement from new British Prime Minister Liz Truss’s government has been met with one of the most pronounced market sell-offs in recent history. The British pound hit an all-time low against the dollar in the early hours of Monday morning, dropping below $1.04, while the U.K. 10-year gilt yield rose to its highest level since 2008, as disarray continued following Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng’s “mini-budget” on Friday. Jim O’Neill, former Goldman Sachs Asset Management chairman and a former U.K. Treasury minister, said the pound’s fall shouldn’t be misinterpreted as dollar strength. “It is a consequence of an extremely risky budget by the new chancellor and a rather timid Bank of England that, so far, has only raised rates reluctantly despite all the clear pressures,” he told CNBC Monday. The announcement Friday featured a volume of tax cuts not seen in Britain since 1972 and an unabashed return to the “trickle-down economics” promoted by the likes of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. The radical policy moves set the U.K. at odds with most major global economies against a backdrop of sky-high inflation and a cost-of-living crisis. The fiscal package – which includes around £45 billion in tax cuts and £60 billion in energy support to households and businesses over the next six months – will be funded by borrowing, at a time when the Bank of England plans to sell £80 billion in gilts over the coming year in order to scale back its balance sheet. The rise in 10-year gilt yields above 4% could suggest the market expects that the Bank will need to raise interest rates more aggressively in order to contain inflation. The yield on 10-year gilts has risen 131 basis points so far in September — on course for its biggest monthly rise recorded within Refinitiv and Bank of England data going back to 1957, according to Reuters. Truss and Kwarteng maintain that their sole focus is to boost growth through tax and regulatory reform, with the new finance minister suggesting in a BBC interview on Sunday that more tax cuts could be on the way. However, the plan has drawn criticism for disproportionately benefiting those with the highest incomes. The independent Institute for Fiscal Studies also accused Kwarteng of gambling the U.K.’s fiscal sustainability in order to push through huge tax cuts “without even a semblance of an effort to make the public finance numbers add up.” As the markets continue to balk at the new prime minister’s plans, Sky News reported on Monday morning that some Conservative Members of Parliament are already submitting letters of no confidence in Truss – only three weeks into her tenure – citing fears that she will “crash the economy.” Vasileios Gkionakis, head of European FX strategy at Citi told CNBC on Monday that the massive fiscal stimulus and tax cuts, financed by borrowing at a time when the Bank of England is embarking on quantitative tightening, amounted to the market demonstrating an “erosion of confidence” in the U.K. as a sovereign issuer, leading to a “textbook currency crisis.” He argued that there is “no empirical evidence” behind the government’s claim that expanding fiscal policy in this fashion will drive economic growth, and suggested that the likelihood of an emergency inter-meeting rate hike from the Bank of England was increasing. “That being said, for it to provide at least a meaningful temporary relief, it would have to be big, so my best guess is that it would have to be at least 100 basis points of a hike,” Gkionakis said, adding that this may bring about a sterling recovery. “But make no mistake, another 100 basis points is going to send the economy into a tailspin, and eventually is going to be negative for the exchange rate, so we are in this situation right now where sterling has to depreciate further in order to compensate investors for the higher U.K. risk premium.” The prospect of further acceleration to the Bank of England’s monetary policy tightening was a common theme for analysts on Monday. “This fiscal development implies that BoE will now need to tighten policy more aggressively than it otherwise would have in order to counteract the additional price pressures stemming from the fiscal stimulus measures,” Roukaya Ibrahim, vice president at BCA Research, said in a research note Monday. “While rising bond yields typically support the currency, the pound’s selloff highlights that market participants are skeptical that foreign investors will be willing to fund the deficit amid a poor domestic economic backdrop.” Ibrahim added that this would imply further suffering for U.K. financial markets due to the “unfavorable policy mix” over the near term. The shock to markets came largely from the scale of tax cuts and absence of offsetting revenue or spending measures, which raised concerns about the country’s fiscal strategy and policy mix, according to Barclays The British lender expects the government to clarify its plans to balance the books through “spending cuts and reform outcomes” ahead of the November budget statement, which Montagne suggested “should help to deflect immediate concerns relating to large unfunded tax cuts.” Barclays also expects the government to launch an energy saving campaign over the next month, aimed at facilitating demand destruction. “Taken together, we believe fiscal rebalancing and energy saving should contribute to contain domestic and external imbalances,” Montagne said. Analyst says there’s a push and pull between the chancellor and the BoE In the context of supply impairments, a tight labor market and almost double-digit inflation, however, Montagne suggested that even the smallest positive demand shock may trigger huge inflationary consequences. This could cause the Bank of England to deliver a 75 basis point hike to interest rates in November once it has fully assessed the effect of the fiscal measures, he said. A possible mitigating factor, Montagne noted, was that while the U.K.’s trade performance may be bleak and its deficit wide, the fact that the country borrows domestically and invests abroad means its external position improves when the currency depreciates. “While public debt levels are large, fiscal sustainability metrics are not critically different from peers, in some cases even better. In our view, that should mitigate immediate concerns regarding risks of a Balance of Payment crisis,” he said. Barclays does not see the U.K.’s economic fundamentals calling for a sharper hike than the bank’s new baseline expectations of 75 and 50 basis points at the next two meetings, and does not expect the MPC to deliver an emergency inter-meeting hike, but rather to wait until November to reset its narrative in light of new macroeconomic projections. “Similarly, we do not expect the government to reverse course at this stage. Rather, as mentioned above, we expect it to pull forward by speeding up structural reforms and the spending review, in an attempt to deflect immediate market concerns,” Montagne added.

no you daft ol'cowpoke... Sophia and Woodie.

no! she met her grandpop husband there......

is anyone surprised? one has to only look at the header banner at the top of the page and compare the staff then with the current crop to see what has gone wrong.

Thanks seven you get a smiley face +1, Thanks Pdoggg you get one also, Bumblebee, The-Sith, Sylvester, PG ... Thanks ALL! everybody gets a smiley face +1. Frequent ejaculation makes me an even more congenial BM than I usually am... Regarding PG's curiosity, I will just say that my occupation in life at this stage is to live to see another day. Traveling the world keeps me out of the crosshairs and mongering money is pocket change in my big order of things... As mentioned above, this TR will be patchy with personal reflections interjecting with on-the-ground events. Here is the first batch of instant impressions on post-covid Bangkok as I saw it: Overall BKK vibe: Less packed. Of farangs and Thais. My flight from Dubai was full but the airport seemed less so with no lines at passport control. The big hotel where I stayed was practically empty and most other guests I saw at breakfast were Thais. The Sky Train is less congested. More Thais must be staying home. A lot of regular street shops are shuttered close as you randomly drive by. I mean A LOT of the small Thai street level shops we never set foot into are just closed. Why? Maybe such businesses are no longer viable. Something societal must be going on and it's what I would place in my experiences category of the vanishing Thailand as I knew it. Hotels: Buyers market. Walking around you can tell many hotels have not reopened after covid (and perhaps some never will). Prices on Agoda are way cheap and the best indicator is that practically all offers come with free cancelation. I wanted to stay at a top riverfront hotel. No specials at The Oriental or Shangri-La, but got me a huge suite with 2 balconies at the Royal River for US$60. Cannabis: It's reefers paradise in Thailand now. Something happened while I was away that they legalized marijuana and pot shops are everywhere. Prices start at 100 baht for a tobacco mixed blunt and then you can buy all kinds of strands by the gram. To think all my life I declined smoking with the sissies to avoid trouble with the law and now that I can I found out that ... it counteracts the Kamagra! Exchange Rate: 37+ baht to the US$ which has not been this strong since the mid 2000s. Even though I now live mostly in Europe, the USD is my reference currency and so I feel things in Thailand are generally cheaper. Mongering Scene: I will break this one down: Patpong 1 and 2: Dead. Went there with my bakery shop sissy and only 2 go-gos were open (one being King's Corner with GGs and post-ops) and 3 or 4 of the smaller bars. No night market. See a pic below of the desolation. Soi Cowboy: Looked OK. I only glanced in there and cant tell if the bars were plentifully staffed. Nana: Thriving. The NEP was rehauled while I was away and there are no empty bar slots. It lost much of the grittiness with a lot of the bars being renamed RAINBOW-something which makes it obvious there is now a Rainbow Group that owns and/or runs the place. Drink prices and barfines are way up. Plenty of women, but only 1 ladyboy bar: Obsession, which seems is called now True Obsession. Nana Street Action: Plenty of GG and sissy streetwalkers on soi 4 just like in the old days. To my surprise, many attractive ones too like in the old older days. The asking price seemed to be 1,500 ST. Fellow Mongers: Plenty of them in all of the Sukhumvit Nana-Asoke sex corridor where the closed hotels and businesses are perhaps more a reflexion of the non-sex tourist numbers not having recovered. I noticed more middle-easterners than ever, as well as Indians/Pakistanis something us entitled farangs have to start to learn to live with. New soi 7 beer bars: I was pleasantly surprised with a new small beer bar plaza with some 20 bars adequately staffed with women. A lot of these mini bar-plazas have disappeared elsewhere in the Sukhumvit area so it's comforting to see a new one sprout. It's just before the Beer Garden, which had very few freelancers when I went there for dinner. Thermae: As pussy-packed as ever. I estimated more than 100 to be there and saw 10 of us guys (of which 8 were japs or koreans). The asking price is not cheap: 2500 upwards ST. There is clearly peer pressure not to discount, so to get a lower rate you may have to get the slut out of earshot of the other sluts. African hookers: Quite a few up and down Sukhumvit. Saw a couple stunners. Asked a cute one how much and she said 5,000 hoping I am sure for a counteroffer I did not make. I like black girls but these are pimp-controlled and GFE not going to happen as I'd want. ...Ok this is getting too long and it's time I start paying attention to the sissy lying naked next to me. Here some pics of Patpong 1 and 2 and the Sky Train and Nana and a couple of public displays of weed which I hope mod1 will allow since it is now obviously allowed in TH. My next post will be way more entertaining featuring an awesome sissy...

Yes! I am back in Thailand for the first time since 2019 (covid obliged) and Yes! I brought the green marker pen (always in my travel carry on) and a small jar with gold body paint to try to meet BM seven's expectations of my TRs. Let's see if/when in the course of the trip I get a sissy agreeable to gilding... As I caveated in my previous Philippines TR, I no longer have it in me to do elaborately scripted TRs as I used to do'em at PY. This TR will be more like a collection of moments and thoughts as I go along with the trip. Let's start with the deliberately hidden identity sissy in the above pics... During the harsher covid times, I stayed in touch with 7 Thai ladyboys I had had good times with and promised them (and myself!) we would reunite once I could travel back to Thailand. I wrote about it here in the Board in a pre-TR bucket list for a trip I abhorted when covid-delta surged (http://www.ladyboyreview.com/index.php?/topic/9743-rompocalypse-now/&do=findComment&comment=210828&_rid=10259). The #1 ladyboy on that bucket list was a Bangkok sissy I had met at Check-In bar and we hit it off so well I subsequently took her with me to Patong-Phuket. She did not stay long at Check-In Bar and instead became a bakery chef in a franchise shop. I made plans with her to go to Trang (beaches!) by train. I am a bit of a train buff and love to combine my ladyboy and train passions in private first class cabins on Thai Railways. I booked a nice hotel room in BKK on the Chao Phraya rive gauche and within hours of my arrival she joined me there after work with a view to staying one week of blissful reunion. Hélas! ... that is not what happened... Within one hour of her arrival at the hotel, we were passionately fucking but already I sensed something had changed. We went at it again a few hours later before going to sleep and we both silently realized Trang was not gonna happen. What had happened? She had grown up. According to her, she does not have much sex anymore and certainly not with elderly foreign gentlemen. She was also preoccupied with some kind of loaves-of-bread order she could not be there to personally supervise. The next day we were to go to the train station to buy the ticket, but we never did. She just stayed in bed sleeping and texting all day while I did some other stuff without further expectation of sex other than occasionally sucking her 22 yo permanently stiff cock without waking her up. On our 2nd and last night we went partying at her old digs Check-In Bar, which I would remind all BMs is the reigning Romscar Ladyboy Bar of the Year for 2021. We had a blast with me paying drinks for quite a few of her acquaintances. The next day she slept in till like 4 PM and then left back to the bakery and even though we are on very fond terms we will probably never see each other again. Here are some pics from Check-In Bar, which remains very well staffed and with great ambiance. Party on! and Let the good times roll! are words I try to live by even when I have a tear in the corner of my eye...

The Fed hiked rates by 75 basis points today solidly breaching 37 baht . Bank of England will raise rates tomorrow. If the BOE raises by only 50 basis points the dollar should rise vis a vis GBP. If the BOE only raises by 25 basis points then I would think the baht would also rise vis a vis the GBP since a minimum of a 50 basis rise is already baked into to the exchange rate. If the BOE raises by 75 basis points then the pound should rise against the USD.

yes QG, i was just thinking about that fiasco. Poor August never really recovered. Obviously now she has married Jimmy she has forgiven him, but whether she will ever forgive Annat is somewhat debatable

one thing to remember is that if you do arrive in thailand on a 30 day visitor visa from the airport, and then want to change to a retirement visa. it is officially not possible to get the 90 day Non-0 within thailand. Although this unofficially can be done via big money and an agent, if you do this route your passport will be sent to Bangkok immigration office as they are the only one that will do the non-0. it can take the passport up to a month to get back to you. it is much more sensible [and cheaper] to have the initial none-0 done at a thai embassy before coming to Thailand.. do that and the retirement visa is much easier. 2000 baht to do it yourself or around 12000 as Laawman said in the OP via an agent. My agent did the whole thing for me for if i recall correctly 22000 baht some years ago when i flew to Cambodia for a couple of days holiday, losing my Thai retirement visa because i forgot to get a re-entry permit! The agent said that she will never do it again because of the hassles she had with Bangkok. By the way Laawman, i note that you wear a Stetson... are you a cowpoke too?
