Went to the Grand Opening of the new Lanna Lavendar Hotel on Oct 5th – WOW – GREAT – Great Music, Food, and Boys, Boys, Boys —– Brian and Pong were there too and Brian got these photos – I didn’t take a camera – still not in the mood.  Enjoy.

Hi Tony & Jessie.

Great to meet you guys, hope to see you again.

I think you said you were planning on visiting again next Oct or so – make sure to drop me a line and visit Chang Mai.

And now to the best part of the trip – massage – I spent most of my time every day relaxing on the beach, then enjoying a great massage. 

First:  At Rainbow Beach   (Dongtan Beach in the Jontiem Beach Area) we meet “Aud”  (standing above, his phone +66–840056238) manager and his great massage team.  Both John and myself had an ‘on the beach’ massage, but I really didn’t like the wind and sand while getting a massage so I retired to our hotel for a 2 hr oil massage from “Kid”.    Actually several days while we were there.      Heaven !!!!!!

 And what a great massage – the best I have ever had, 500 Baht + tip.  WOW – WOW – WOW

I asked Kid to move to Chiang Mai and promised to have a weekly massage but that wasn’t enough to make him move – even if I paid 1000 Baht each – he is really booked at the beach and you will need reservations to get in line.   Call first.

John said he also got a great massage from “Tan”  – not from the beach but from a shop near Boyztown – I meet Tan one evening while we were having dinner and he gave me these photos to post – nice shots

These are some additional shots taken from the “Tower” that I forgot to add to the last post – you can see the sign and tower there – sorry for the seperation but it saves reloading the first post.

Just some random shots of the area and Dongtan Beach.

Lets start off with a great deal from Thomas Kalb, manager of Le Cafe Royale Hotel, Restaurant – Piano Bar in BoyzTown, Pattaya.  He has offered to give a discount to anyone booking in the Hotel if they mention AsianCoOp in a email to him before booking.  What a nice gesture. 

They are the second venue on your left when you enter BoyzTown – John and I had dinner here 4 nights in a row the food was so good, Cottage Pie and Pork Chops were my favorites.  I also stayed for the music and really recommend that you do not miss DK and Richard ( El Duo ).  These guys were great.

From here I went next door to “Toy Boys Night Club” to see the show – and was also not disappointed.  Wow – great young men, over 20 when I was there – and what eye candy.   Manager “Puk” was very attentive to our needs and he did ask the boys if I could take a picture to put in the blog – Sorry, many of the boys were still going to college and didn’t want their pictures on the web –  You just have to go there and see for yourself.

Here is a couple of examples of photos I have done for the guys here.  I have the studiio working now and have a few more boys ready to model.  I’m working hard to develop shots that really show the beauty of the Asian male body.   Not sure yet, how the site is going to be setup, I think just a gallery theme would be nice – (suggestions !!!)     .

Please don’t ask for the models names or addresses – I will have each linked to a email address at the web-site where you can send a message to them. 

So for now, I hope you enjoy some examples of some of the shots and composits I have done so far – Paintings will follow, I’m working on them now.  Comments and requests are always appreciated.

Well I finally have the studio in a somewhat working order – most of the upgrade is in and I am now going to need to calibrate the lighting and determine the best backgrounds to use.  I have several models lines up – I hope they will allow me to post their shots (I will start up www.gThaiStudio web-site for the more revealing shots– I’ll keep you posted).

Here are a couple of shots I made of Gabby – I posted Gabby’s web-site in a earlier post and we will be doing more in the future before he goes back to Ghana.  I am also interested in seeing how he has used Photoshop and Lightroom to enhance his photos  – perhaps he will allow me to post some of his creations too.

Thanks Gabby

Our friend Michael has really been busy since moving to Bali.  I think he says it’s been almost a year now. 

His Picasa Web Album site is great  – you’ll love the photos – check it out.

Great work Michael.

Ciao

Here’s a photo I saw on the Internet – and it reminded me about the story Jerry sent me about the “Brass Monkey” I posted last month.

I bet this guy would have a rough time in that cold weather.

I’d like to find out who took this photo – I bet he has a lot more great shots.  But there is no data included with the JPG I have – If anyone has the original photo or knows who the photographer is please let me know.

In any event – I think it’s cute

HANG IN THERE – as they say

Ciao
