In this week’s naked Olympian news, Blake Skjellerup is getting a jump on the rest of the 2014 Winter Olympic hotties with his skin-filled spread in GT Magazine. And some of France’s hottest Olympic swimmers strip down and pair off for a anti-homophobia campaign. Now that’s something Ryan Lochte wouldn’t do.

Stock photos, for those without a clue, are commercial photographs generally sold for use in on-line and print editorials. So, for example, if you are writing an article about old people who gum pastries you might select a photo of an old crone whose mouth is smeared with blueberry pie. Or you’d just use Google and steal it from somewhere off the net like I do. Photographers who specialize in this art form think up some pretty crazy stuff, some often NSFW, a lot that just elicits a WTF? 
Love Coaching Thailand is a nascent blog by Benjamin Brossart, a French consultant, personal coach, and (appropriately to some degree) comedian whose blog offers dating and relationship advice for those smitten by a local guy while in Thailand.

Okay, so when I first heard about this I was thinking someone really needs to do something about the organized bus tour crowd ‘cuz the idea of visiting 9 wats in Bangkok in 1 day is a bit much.

Hail, Hail, The Gang’s All Queer: I usually link to websites about Thailand, dick, naked male flesh (which I guess is still about dick), or the Olympics (um, ditto on the dick thing once again) in my End of the Week posts, but with the reemergence of SGT’s old cast of characters the subject of internet trolls has got my attention and Google has been educamating me on the phenomenon. For example, did you know what are referred to as Hydras on the gay Thailand forums are called sock puppets elsewhere? I only mention that because the mental picture of an angry old man beating off into an argyle sock is what comes to mind whenever I read a post by ScottishGuy. But more on point, none of the flock is original and someone has always done their tired act better before.

With all the touri who flock to Patpong, you’d think there would be numerous good places to eat in Bangkok’s red light district. Nope. In the general vicinity you can find a few, but in Patpong itself what is available is expensive and not worth the prices charged. Kinda like the girls. That’s changed: Took Lae Dee, Foodland’s lunch-counter style restaurant, has finally opened a branch at the store on Patpong Soi 2.
