A Snippet of Gay Life in Thailand

Here’s a great photographer ( David Jarrett Photography ) and some terrific photos I’m sure you’ll want to check out. Lucky Jarrett says he’s roaming through the Czech Republic and may visit Pattaya later this year – hope to meet with him then to find out more about the trip and hopefully get a sneak peep at the new models and photos he has found there.

Planning on coming to Thailand, living here, bored, looking for something to do or where to go – check out these websites:
Thanks Fellas for the nice comments and links to my Blog – I really appreciate it. I don’t know of better places to see what’s going on in Chiang Mai, Pattaya, BKK and Phuket then the listings and commentary on gay happenings that these two sites follow around the area. Keep up the good work – lot of territory to cover.

Went to see Alcazar Cabaret show last night – 600 Baht 2 hour show. 
The place was packed but Dana managed to get us great seats exactly in the middle of the audience. I sat on the row end so had a great view point. Here is a
If you click on the slideshow – be patient - It contains 174 photos so it will take a long time to view.
NOTE: But I do have to tell you that I believe the “Venue†in Jontiem Complex is a much better money value. This show was a hour long and had a huge stage and many performers – yet the Venue with a stage 1/6th the size and half the dancers puts on a two-hour show every night – changing every week and it will only set you back the price of a drink – water 120 Baht. To me that’s a much better buy and the performances are just as professional.
But don’t get me wrong, I also think you should go to see the Alcazar show too – just for the splendor and shear size and color, lighting and sound - truly amazing.

Just down to the beach yesterday and ran into this cute little fella.
Quite a surprise wouldn’t you say – but what a nice shot using the camera on my new phone – Galaxy S2 – love it – but a trip to the beach to shoot bugs doesn’t sound very exciting – so here is another shot from the same location .
Thought you’d like this photo better – but just a quick look, you have to come to the beach yourself to capture the full view. Going to Alcazar cabaret show tonight, and taking the D7 – so I should have some good shots to show you tomorrow – so far I can’t find their URL – but should have it later and some photos.

If you are in Thailand and want to sell or purchase almost anything then I have to introduce a great site and service. Baht & Sold. I have already sold several items here and highly recommend it. And did I mention it’s FREE – Check it out.

Here is Aod – B-Boy supreme He stopped by for a quick shoot – (actually my batteries were low and we had to make it a very short session ) – only 62 shots in all – so I choose some of the best and made this collage for him.
what do you think?

Just checking my facebook – that’s about once a month – and see that Oody in CMX posted this great image:
You just have to go to the beach to prove this fact – McDonalds is alive and kicking in Asia and spandex is fashion – sad but true.

Staying inside this day – don’t want to get wet or covered with powder.
But here is a short clip out my window of the mayhem. It will go on for the rest of the day. Chuay stopped by and went to Jomtien Complex to throw water at his bar and celebrate with them – coming back later and then we will go to dinner. HAPPY SONGKRAN.

Here’ a new format, combined line drawing, painting and photo – This is Nai, check out a earlier post of a trip we took to Sattahip – I really like this effect, interesting – what do you think? I am going to refine this technique and make the brush strokes more pronounced and paint smear colors match shades in the photo more closely. I also need to increase the paper texture in the face area. But I think it’s a good start – your comments ????

Pond looks great with his green hair and today Kay stopped by to show off his new red hairdo – FASHION – it’s the craze here.
But you gott’a admit these guy look stunning. If you were looking for some reason to visit Pattaya – here are 2 suggestions Red or Green – drop by Sunee and see the live version, you won’t be disappointed.

Here’s the latest shot of Pond – Much better than the first ones – I am getting better – slowly but steady – it’s hard to teach a old dog new tricks and I jump too fast to post images before I really put a lot of effort into editing them. These guys are soooooo cute, I love spending time with them and hope you enjoy these images too.

When you come to Pattaya, make sure you visit Sunee Plaza and especially “The Crazy Pubâ€. Here’s Pond, one of the staff.
You can’t miss him – green hair and all – what a great young man.
Stop by and say hello – I’m sure you will get a warm welcome.
Pond stopped by this afternoon for a little photo shoot – agreed I could post this one and promised to come back later – after Songkran – to take a little more time and get some super poses and exciting shots.
Well off to the beach to finish my day – water throwing is in full swing – but it should be minimal between here and Jomtien Complex, where I will meet up with Don, Degs and the other guys to spend a little time seeing what the boys are up to and how they intend to spend Songkran – expect a little water, so wallet and phone go into plastic bags for protection.

Thought I’d show you what my swimming pool looks like – and here is also a better view from my balcony – better clouds –
Getting ready for Songkran, I hear that it can get very intense out there – throwing water and general celebration – but Brian says this was his favorite time of year in Pattaya – the boys at Jomtien Complex would line up and offer kisses to the guys walking through – sounds sweet. I am trying to sell my Canon 350D and would use that money to get a Canon G12 – great small camera and one I could carry to get more personal shots during Songkran. I am afraid to take my D7 into the water-throwing crowd – too much to lose for some shots. We’ll see.

Here are some shots of the new apt. 1 Br., 1 1/2 bath and 2 balconies. Complete with laundry washer.
Great lease at $480 mo.
Condo also has a great common swimming pool and businesses located on the bottom floor such as bar, restaurants, cleaners, travel offices, copying, etc.. Right around the corner from a FoodMart and my Bank – short 5 min walk to Jomtien Beach. Could you ask for more !
I have set up a small studio – just move the lights – so I can do some photography and got a real great computer desk so I’m ready for the HOT season.

Sorry for a large delay in posting – moved into my new condo and just got everything set up – and did some work on the blog to clear up the hacking problem – still more work needed here !!!
Here is a shot from my balcony looking toward North Pattaya – The tower you see in the left of the photo is located at the end of Dongtan Beach at the end of Jomtien Beach Rd. Great view, great balcony for having tea in the morning, quiet, and within walking distance from the beach. Food Mart right around the corner, pharmacy and my bank – restaurants below on the ground floor, ample parking and large swimming pool available.
I have a great kitchen and brought my steamer, convection oven, crock pots and pots and pans – set for cooking and entertaining. One bedroom, 1 1/2 bath and high speed internet – I’m set
If you get to Pattaya, look me up – I am sure they have a place you can rent short time and enjoy the beach as I do – Contact “Linda†at Jomtien Real Estate Services +66 (0) 85 393-6394 email: lovelinda1984@hotmail.com – she found me this unit at a very good rate and I highly recommend her.
