Thong Kham and Carlos Melia reunited again
Thong Kham and Carlos Melia reunited again | Golden Triangle, Thailand | This is now a true love story. After 4 month of being apart Thong Kham and Carlos Melia reunited once again at the Four Seasons Tented Camp at Golden Triangle in the border between Thailand, Myanmar and Lao. One look at the other, she put her trunk over my head and sniffed me around, after that we looked each other in the eye and we instantly bonded again. Memory of elephant right. This was my morning in love with Thong Kham.

What happens in Dubai stays in Dubai ?
What happens in Dubai stays in Dubai ? | CarlosMeliaBlog.com | I am heading to Dubai by the end of this month for 3 nights and funny things are happening along the way…. Deaf ears and no replies, so far no independent or chain hotel has confirmed or welcomed me due to the Gay connotation of my blog and travel reviews…. even from those that (aka.) allegedly support the LGBT community worldwide…. So I am challenging and calling all International Hotel chains to stand LOUD and PROUD and show their commitment to LGBT Travel. I have even been told that my blog might be blocked and I will have no access during my stay at the UAE. I personally respect and treasure all walks of life and all beliefs, and in return I expect exactly the same. I will not change my mind…. and I will still come. CM
