Well, it all goes back to my "fly under the radar" credo.
If you thrust yourself into public view in Thailand, especially when it has to do with sensitive subject matter (gay saunas, gay sex, AIDS...), and when it has the potential of rubbing people the wrong way (the sauna owners, the police, politicians, who knows who else), it is just asking for trouble.
Upset the balance, piss off the wrong person, and you could end up deported and made persona non grata, in jail on some obscure charge you hadn't even thought of, or even dead. If you are just a tourist, or a retiree, you are even more vulnerable.
Do what you want, but I've seen a lot of farangs try to screw with the system and ending up regretting it.
