  1. Have been through Cambodia and some of Thailand.  Siem Riep - if you are into food - Cuisine Wat Damnak should be on your list.  https://www.cuisinewatdamnak.com  In Bangkok one of the fine dining options I did was Nahm https://www.comohotels.com/thailand/como-metropolitan-bangkok/dining/nahm   Plenty of options for more street food in both locations.   I would add in Laos to your potential countries to visit while in the region.   Specifically Luang Prabang https://www.travelandleisure.com/how-to-visit-luang-prabang-laos-7555706  a Unesco city, relaxed setting.  Great food and diversions close by.  I flew in from Bangkok, and then flew to Vientiane (capital) and onto Cambodia from there.  Seems there is a train between Luang Prabang and Vientiane; Vientiane was ok for transit, not as overwhelming as a capital city as Bangkok or Hanoi may be.   Have fun planning!

    Reason for this is: in the states at least, you simply can’t get use the word “deposit” on RentMen. They will delete it just like they deleted rates. I can’t say deposit in my ad, but I’ve been able to use other code that is quite clear on the deposit asked.

    Also, I checked your search results: good idea however, that is only pulling up results within the area you are in, what city are you looking in? 

     

    Actually the results, as noted, were for Searchs on "All Locations".  The overall totals may be off as of now since more practitioners have been added.  

  3. @Jay_lucas  The business model that a practitioner utilizes doesn't have to be static approach of request deposit/don't request deposit, it can adapt to the market they use as a home base versus when traveling (this shouldn't be rocket science).  In looking at the two major platforms (RentMasseur and RentMen), and conducting a simple profile search of the word "Deposit" only 32 of 4,306 (0.74314909%) of Rentmasseur practitioners and 68 of 10,688 (0.636622%) of Rentmen practitioners outrightly state that a Deposit would be required at some stage of engagement.

    Practitioners choose what business model works for them best.   Scanning only a couple of profiles on each, it was clear that for some of the practitioners it wasn't required in all instances and for others it was a hard and fast rule.   Note there maybe other practitioners that utilize phrasing in place of "Deposit" but I don't think that would move the numbers much.   Good luck with the search of practitioners that meet your needs.   As for myself, a practitioner who would require a deposit isn't the business model I prefer.

  4. Heading to Morocco early May, haven't been before but will be working with a tour provider for a private tour throughout the country.  The prior threads on the topic of Morocco are very old.  Has anyone been to the country in the past 2 years or so?   Will be landing Casablanca, then from there - El Jadida, Marrakech, several stops in the south to the Atlas Mountains then to Erg Chegaga for a Sahara desert excursion.  Then make my way up to Fez and Chefchaouen ending back at Casablanca.  If time permits may head to Dakhla (via flight from Casablanca).  From what I've read - hiring someone can be iffy and most accommodations won't allow locals into the hotel/riad.  Any suggestions for things to not miss?

  5. What is interesting is that the two links included in the post have the same guy's photo for the link; but if you click the first link - it is expired and the photos are of a different guy.  The stats of the two guys don't match and one of them has tattoos.

  6. I would also recommend https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/1261/.   Chris - is a non-draping masseur, extremely knowledgeable and with very skilled hands, who can deliver the type of massage you describe.  If you haven't tried him out yet you should give him a try.  He makes his shower available pre/post massage.  Suggest the 90 minute session.

  7. Over the last several years as I've gotten older, more of the guys who have reached out to me have been 25+ years younger than me (currently 61 and silver/grey haired).   The guys may be nice to look at and good for a turn in bed, but that is not much of a basis for developing a relationship since we don't have much in common.   If the "Daddy" word is used in the first communication with me I know the guy isn't for me.  I acknowledge my mindset is not what other guys may focus in on.

  8. The director of "Nuovo Olimpo" is Ferzan Ozpetek, Turkish Italian, who has directed many other good films:  Hamam (Steam: The Turkish Bath); Saturn in Opposition; Le Fate Ignoranti; le dea fortuna; he also directed  Le Fate ignoranti (The ignorant angels) as a TV series (Hulu) (not a full filmography). Most have a gay or bisexual theme in them; either in Italian or Turkish - but assuming most of them have been dubbed into English by now, for the subtitle-challenged viewers.  Will be viewing "Nuovo Olimpo" this weekend and look forward to his newest work.   If you do get a chance to view some of his earlier works, you'll notice he uses certain actors/actresses in multiple movies.  

  9. The Aldi shop nearest to me was built in the last year or so.  The only things I've purchased are fruit (berries) and some vegetables, and their brioche hamburger buns.  Maybe I've been lucky when in the store or more discerning when selecting, but the produce is rather nice and cheaper than the other NJ supermarkets.  Haven't touched their meat or frozen items.
