Pad and Bird sent me some shots of the Opening Show on the 17th – I thought you would like to see some of the boys – I think these are the dancers and Lanna fashion show – not sure if they will be there when you visit – but I am sure there will be some great looking young men when you do – I plan on visiting next week sometime and will let you know what I find – anyway here they are:

Well that was just the show – imagine what will be there during normal business hours and I am told special student pricing – WOW

See you there: !!!

Just attended the Grand Opening of Club One Seven Chiang Mai and what a great setup.  Guesthouse and Spa-Gym.  wonderful for relaxing, meeting someone special, or just enjoying the special rooms and facilities.

Located on the banks of the Ping River, 1km from the city center, is one of Chiang Mai’s hidden secrets. This 130 year old, Thai Teak Wood Guesthouse, newly refurbished, is off the usual tourist track, and is ideally positioned as a refuge and a base from which to discover the riches of Northern Thailand.

“Bird”  of Bird’s Asian Tours  is the manager – and guess who is working on the front desk – Tasanai.   Haven’t seen him since we split up in 2007  – it was really a surprise to see him there.

Check it out is you get a chance;

I haven’t really mentioned this in the blog before but I guess now is the time.  Jerry sent me this graphic – reminds me when I was in San Francisco and was a member of NoCirc – not as a flag waver but to restore.  It took me about 1 1/2 years to get some resemblance to normal.  And I am very glad I did – not the original but I sure feel more natural, comfortable, and have gained more sensation.

If you are interested in more information, “restoring”  or joining the cause here are some excellent sites:

    NoCirc  Org
    Circumcision Org
    Students for Genital Integrity Org

I always wondered where this phrase came from – Jerry sent me the answer:

Just got back from a short trip to Chiang Rai – stopped to get something to eat at Charin Garden Resort at Mae Suai and this little fella ( about 12 inches long) – err I think fella – was eating ants next to me.  Apparently it liked to pose so I got these shots:

Colorful  isn’t he  – I also got some great shots of rice planting and I will post them with the full story about planting rice shortly.

This week started out with little or no rain in the actual forecast for Chiang Mai –

but my water bills were climbing each month, and I wasn’t watering the lawn or using a lot of water – checked out the system and found the underground pipe from the water main was leaking and getting worse each day – called the contractor – and great  – he installed a bypass and stopped the problem – cost 600 Baht  $20 —

Such a savings  – I decided that it was time to install a A/C unit in the photo studio – too damn hot this summer to take any shots – I’m sweating, the models sweat – not good.  Found a used unit for 5000 Baht and had it installed – working fine so I can start inviting models to the studio now – lets see what happens.

Went upstairs to the computer and find the little monitor has stopped working – just spent the money for the A/C – NOW I have to get a new monitor – Damn – could have waited on the A/C – cannot wait on the monitor – there goes my extra spending money.

Gon’a be a tight month – but I should be able to start shooting again and have more photos to post – hope so.

So this is Saturday – tomorrow July 4th celebration, going to party and if I’m lucky will have some images to show you – rain expected – weather cooler – wallet lighter – future hopeful.

Ohhh Ya  I did go see Pea – I’ll write the whole story in a future post:  Orange and Green  very striking – that’s new rice shoots

Just got back from a trip to Fang and Chiang Rai – On the way I checked out a new guest house that Bert found on the internet.

Fang Lagoon Home Stay and Herbal Massage for Men – naturally in Fang – so I got a chance to stop by and met the owner Khun May (Wachirametee Chayouden) [on the left of first photo] and Khun Emy (right, masseur).  Phone: 080-125 2509

Located just before you arrive in Fang, the facilities are on an active coffee farm – many different varieties of fruit trees are also planted around the site with the center crop – coffee trees.  Secluded, very private and specific to gay entertainment.  Great place to bring your special boy or check out their escort boys they can offer to enjoy a vacation away from all the hassles and business – just relax here.

Check out their web-site for more info and prices:

Great eye candy coming up – better yet if you visit Chiang Mai and Adam’s Apple Club you can meet them in person.

Using the new Adobe Photoshop CS5 and some PanosFX actions (free of course) I am making up a gallery of the go-go boys [and girls] at the club – when finished you’ll be able to see them at the club web page.

Here’s a couple of  examples of the opening page images:

Clicking on each image will open a gallery of their photos – we’re starting off by highlighting 33 boys with 4-6 shots in each of their galleries – and of course a small bio — Hope it will be a good way to introduce you to the amazing boys working at the club.

I’m using the PanosFX button action then applying an embossing style – quick and easy to use -  Should have it done next week – but no promises.

Here’s another great one from Paul’s Funnies –

     An  80-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up.  The doctor asked him how he was feeling and the 80-year-old said,
"Things are great and I’ve never felt better. I now have a 20 year-old
bride who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think about that?"
     The doctor considered his question for a minute and then began to tell a story.  "I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. One day he was setting off to go hunting. In a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun.  As he neared a lake, he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the water’s edge. He realized he’d left his gun at home and so he couldn’t shoot the magnificent creature. Out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if it were his favorite hunting rifle and went  ‘bang,  bang’. Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead.  Now, what do you think of that?" asked the doctor.
     The 80-year-old said, "If you ask me, I’d say somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."
     The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

Just got back from a fabulous meal at Brian and Pong’s new “SoupaSteak”.   Their opening day will be next Wednesday 3rd and tonight they had a shake-out run for help and menu with selected friends.  Needless to say everyone was very happy and filled.

I had the chicken fried steak with potatoes and salad. excellent and pricing very affordable – 89 Baht – $3 , extra tomato and onion salad and peach & ice cream for desert – total bill 185 Baht  $5.75

I will get some photos of the place and menu after the Grand Opening and post them for you – They are located on Huay Kaew Rd just up the street from the Soho Bar and 3 doors from the Lemon Tree restaurant.

Check it out –
