Coy doesn’t do it for me, but since it is a given that sexy selfies you send to someone in private will soon be posted a few million times across the internet, I can understand the hotties who want to show off the goods but not their faces too. Shame that ‘cuz there’s some mighty fine bodies in dire need of a face. Or then again, maybe not.

A cute little story, Crazy Farang!, that asks what is love? Is it 1,000 baht? And then notes that “farang never understand important things because they only understand things with their heads and everything had to have ‘facts’, which meant they can never see or understand the important things of the soul or of the heart.” Ouch!
OUT magazine has a pictorial trip down memory lane from when Channing Tatum got his gay on for a Valentine-themed spread for the magazine. Which just proves I was right about his lack of acting skills.
It’s difficult to spend much time in Chiang Mai without becoming aware of the Night Safari. Not that I’ve ever bothered, there are better things to do with your nights in Thailand. But I recently discovered part of that attraction includes a ladyboy show. And the idea of ladyboys at a zoo is just too delicious to ignore. Other than a few rude comments elsewhere, this is the best link I could find – it’s not much, but is enough to stick in my to-do file for my next visit.
Dr. Dong, a urologist in Yichang City, China, recently made the news for treating a middle-aged man who’d decided he had a better use for the neighborhood children’s jump rope.
The web addy Strong Sexy Proud Asian Men, this week’s NSFW Tumblr link, sounded like it would be filled with hot guys who’d make the non-Asian men of the world jealous. Its title, however, comes up as Hot Gay Asians. Which ain’t a bad theme either.
I’m guessing this just over one minute long clip is a movie trailer. Or one of those montages some fan set to music. Not that it matters, you’ll still enjoy the visuals of REC.
There’ll be a lot of licking going on now that Finland has issued a postal stamp honoring the erotic stylings of Tom of Finland. But for you leather queens past your prime, you may want to check out these DIY Tom of Finland cross-stitch kits instead. Which will undoubtedly give a whole new meaning to ‘handcrafted’.
2011’s Lost In Paradise (originally titled Rebellious Hot Boy and the Story of Cuoi, the Prostitute and the Duck) is first film from Vietnam to depict homosexual love both explicitly and in a positive light. Set in Ho Chi Minh City, the movie has two separate story lines. The first depicts a love triangle between three men, Khôi, Lam, and Ðông, amidst a backdrop of male prostitution (the second explains that duck). The minute and a half trailer will give you an idea of what the movie holds in store for viewers, and this four minute montage set to music has a lot of the good stuff. You can find the entire movie for download on YouTube by searching for Hotboy Noi Loan

It amazes me how many times I’ve visited the Grand Palace in Bangkok, considering how often it is closed. On my first attempt, some thirty years ago, a friendly local man told us we’d come on a Buddhist holiday and the palace was not open to lay visitors. But he did know of a once in a life time special gem sale the government was sponsoring. Wow. What luck. But there were three of us, and each of us suspicious by nature, so we passed on both the gem sale and the palace and headed over to Wat Pho instead. Which in retrospect was the smart move. In those days the Grand Palace Is Closed scam was still in its infancy, it was a blatant come-on lacking the finesse and multiple roles and steps that it has evolved into today. And we ignored it on our second attempt, making it inside the palace despite the place being closed.
The Grand Palace is on the top of every first-time visitor’s list. With good reason. It’s a one-stop religious / historical attraction that can fill most touri’s need for Thai culture. Kinda like the Patpong night market can fill most touri’s need for a risque night out and a bit of sleaze. Despite believing that Wat Pho’s interactive viewing opportunities make it the better choice between the two, I usually pencil in a visit to the Grand Palace via the Chao Phraya riverboats for the first day of any first-time visitor’s trip. Not yet knowing what a wat is, that way you can sneak in an extra one or two before they declare they’ve seen enough Thai temples. As if.
All things considered, the Grand Palace is pretty grand. Anywhere inside its grounds, standing in one spot and turning in a circle you’ll see an amazing amount of temples and chapels, ubosot, and statuary. Most covered in gold. You’ll see a lot of tourists too. And, if you are lucky, a few Buddhist monks. But you’ll also see many Thais visiting the palace, many praying in the temples or preforming merit making activities. It’s probably the one place in the country where no one should bitch about a dual pricing scheme for admission being in place.
Trying to capture the palace’s grandeur through your lens is near impossible. There’s too much to fit into one frame to do it justice. But then I tend to focus my lens on details anyway. And on each subsequent visit, those details worthy of capturing seem to get smaller and smaller. Except for the de rigueur shot of whoever I’m with stylistically posing in front of a row of demons – which always results in every other tourist in the area mimicking that shot (which is another reason why no one should bitch about a dual pricing scheme for admission being in place at the palace).
Doing is always more enjoyable than just looking (unless you are a voyeur) so I usually convince visitors to drop 20 baht for some incense and lotus buds as a merit-making activity. And then offer up my own prayer of, “Please. Don’t” when they want to kneel before the Emerald Buddha (unless their spirituality can properly pull it off). And while it is not quite at the level of harassing the guards at Buckingham Palace, trying to get one of the boys in uniform on duty at the Grand Palace to crack a smile is better than just standing there and ogling them. Fortunately, if you make the rounds along the usual route those guys are at the end of your visit so if someone gets a bit too carried away with their admiration, the exit is near.
