When it comes to construction in gay Pattaya, gay Thailand, gay Asia or even the whole international gay (fucking) world you will always notice the same or a similar pattern: There are smart and highly cultivated gay customers, often older gay gentlemen, some have fled gay England, some have fled other gay unfriendly countries, to live in gay Thailand, and then you put them together with a flamboyant gay architect and designer. That guy is admittedly good (and he does not hide his self esteem from anybody) but, alas, he is a queer artist who does not see his own limits. Read more
