SPICE! has several quality businesses listed that have good reputations with many repeat local customers and visitors using their men for men massage services. A new for Men by Men massage has opened recently in Chiang Mai called M2M Massage on Thapae road lane 1 on the street that runs along the back of the D2 hotel across from the Night Bazaar bars. To find it just stand facing the night bazaar with the D2 hotel behind you and turn right and go down the street passing the Peak bars and it is on your right about 50 meters before you get to the main intersection. Kim has previous experience at other places but is just starting out with his own shop and is a young personable Thai guy who believes in what he is doing by offering a quality Massage for Men to a busy market there.</td></tr></table>http://www.spice-magazine.com/a1117-hands-on-in-downtown-chiang-maiMon, 26 Oct 2009 06:39:00 +0700<table><tr><td><img src="/images/en/1119_t.jpg" border="0" /></td><td valign="top">Welcome to Phuket, Thailand’s quintessential “Tropical Paradise”.

Just hop a ‘songtaew’, (a modified pick-up truck with seats in the back) which will shuttle you in circular fashion around Pattaya or to the Jomtien beach area for ten baht. Pattaya has the feel of a larger cosmopolitan city with its international restaurants, upscale shopping malls, cinemas, cabaret shows and an astounding number of entertainment venues to suit everyone’s taste.</td></tr></table>http://www.spice-magazine.com/a1110-pattaya-city-guideMon, 26 Oct 2009 03:27:00 +0700<table><tr><td><img src="/images/en/1112_t.jpg" border="0" /></td><td valign="top">Favorite Places recommended by our inquisitive staff and you, our readers!

Its rich traditional heritage and unique culture makes Chiang Mai one of the few places in Thailand where it is possible to find in the heart of the city centuries-old chedis and temples next to modern convenience stores and boutique hotels. The original city layout still exists as a neat square surrounded by a moat with vestiges of the fortified wall and its four main gates offering prime access to the old town.</td></tr></table>http://www.spice-magazine.com/a1113-chiang-mai-city-guideMon, 26 Oct 2009 03:27:00 +0700<table><tr><td><img src="/images/en/1135_t.jpg" border="0" /></td><td valign="top">It’s Friday night in my first Thai gay disco and with a hired guide. My Thai guide picks me up in a small Toyota and off we go to the disco. I am a little attracted to my guide but I decide to ignore it. We arrive and the staff helps him park the car in a space that is so tight it is a wonder anyone could open the car door to get in or out. After the car is parked a bottle of 100 Pipers cheap Thai whiskey is pulled from the trunk by the guide and off we go to enter the disco.</td></tr></table>http://www.spice-magazine.com/a1135-orgy-in-the-bathroomWed, 30 Sep 2009 05:07:00 +0700<table><tr><td><img src="/images/en/1136_t.jpg" border="0" /></td><td valign="top">The saying that “Life is a Cabaret” from the famous Broadway show is alive and well on the stages of Thailand. The Cabarets are performed by “Kathoys” the Thai name for “Ladyboys” or the less polite term “Drag Queens.” The Thai Kathoys with their small frames, natural beauty, silky hair, long, thin arms and legs, small feet, hands and shoulders look so feminine few would consider, “Is she a he or isn’t she!” They love to dress up and perform in the Cabaret shows that abound in Thailand. Unlike the West, most Thai female impersonators live as women.</td></tr></table>http://www.spice-magazine.com/a1136-cabarets-and-kathoysWed, 30 Sep 2009 05:07:00 +0700<table><tr><td><img src="/images/en/1137_t.jpg" border="0" /></td><td valign="top">Courtesy of www.eturbonews.com - Confronted by a sharp slump in tourist arrivals, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is stepping up its communication efforts to regain its position as a leading tourist destination in Southeast Asia—by putting a new face on Thai tourism. His cute face turns the head of youngsters in Thailand but also in Korea. Singer Nichkhun Horvejkul, 21 years old, is one of the most popular pop-star singers these days in Southeast Asia. “He is handsome, charming, had lot of talent and speaks perfectly Thai, English, Korean and starts to learn Mandarin,” commented Mrs. Jutthaporn Rerngronasa, deputy-governor for Marketing Communication at the TAT.</td></tr></table>http://www.spice-magazine.com/a1137-thai-tourism-has-a-new-faceWed, 30 Sep 2009 05:07:00 +0700Bangkok is the “Gay Capital of Asia” with a plethora of gay nightlife entertainment venues unrivalled in all of Asia. The male “macho” or “machismo” of the West is not a trait revered in Thai culture. Being strong to one’s convictions of being who you are is, however. “Metrosexuals,” professionals, concerned with appearance, hygiene, arts, culture and posh-ness, abound in Bangkok, hence the popularity of Bed Supper Club on Sukhumvit Soi 11 with its futuristic, Clockwork Orange-like, virgin, white décor and chic Bangkok crowd.http://www.spice-magazine.com/a1138-the-bangkok-gay-sceneWed, 30 Sep 2009 05:07:00 +0700<table><tr><td><img src="/images/en/1139_t.jpg" border="0" /></td><td valign="top">The World Famous Male Go Go shows in Thailand attract gays from every country, straight men who are curious and even women who ogle over the guys the same way their husbands and boyfriends ogle over the gals in the mainstream go-gos and some of the best shows are in Silom.

Bangkok and Pattaya account for 70% of the gay scene in Thailand with Pattaya having the most foreign gay residents. Pattaya is divided into three areas: Naklua, Central Pattaya and Jomtien. All the action in Central Pattaya is between Second and Beach Roads which run North to South and Pattaya Klang (Central Pattaya Road) and Pattaya Tai (South Pattaya Road) which run East to West. Jomtien action is in the Jomtien Complex on Thappraya Road.</td></tr></table>http://www.spice-magazine.com/a1142-pattaya-gay-scene-includes-jomtien-dongtan-beachWed, 30 Sep 2009 05:07:00 +0700<table><tr><td><img src="/images/en/1143_t.jpg" border="0" /></td><td valign="top">The Gay Scene here is more like Pattaya’s than Chiang Mai’s—wide open and wild, but mostly located in the Paradise area around the Royal Paradise Hotel in Patong Beach, which is located about 45 minutes from the Airport.
