“An embarrassment”: FBI Director Kash Patel has taxpayer-funded luxury, armored BMW Patel's use of resources and his professional conduct have come under intense scrutiny https://www.salon.com/2025/12/22/an-embarrassment-fbi-director-kash-patel-has-taxpayer-funded-luxury-armored-bmw/

Day 5 - Trying something new My guy left after breakfast, although I must say something did happened that might make me reconsider taking him again. Without going into too much detail, I basically caught him lying to me, and using that lie to extract more money from me. Sad thing is, I have no issue with his service and had he just asked me, without those lies, I would've been happy to give him. Needless to say, i stood my ground and in the end he left my room. I guess its the high season now, so cant fully blame guys wanting to cash in, but I draw the line at lying. Ive had few cases before asking more money and most of the time, I will give them extra if Im happy. Today, we finally plan a quick trip to two places. First, Wat Welu Wanaram (or Phai Kheaw) dubbed the most beautiful interior design temple. Second is Papaya studio, an antique furniture and design studio. As the location is a bit away from BTS, we decided to book a grab car rental for 6 hours for 1.6k baht. I did asked at concierge for a car hire and was quoted 400 baht per hour, so grab is a better option.  My KL friend got the grab around 11.45pm and picked me up at my hotel and we went to the temple first. My friend is buddhist so I got to witness more than just the temple visit as tourist. He also explain to me some of the things he does and the significant of colors on the alms offering at the temple. We also managed to see a local thai family getting blessed by the monk here.  We then proceed to the Papaya studio and had lunch here, where they serve western dishes as well as thai fried rice and omelette. I ordered crab fried rice and my friend ordered crab fluffy omelette with steam rice. I would eat here again if we are in the area.  The store itself is quite huge, spanning 3 floors but went we arrived there, apparently there is a movie or tv series shooting happening, so we couldnt access some of the 2nd floor for a period of time. I cant determined if its an hindu movie or tamil but the crew and actors are of Indian origin. We did manage to visit 2nd floor during their break though. It was interesting visit for sure but seems like the antique items are mostly of western origin. There is also another smaller antique shops adjacent to this shops with different collections as well. We finished the use of grab car rental by dropping us at VCK club. We have booked a session there at 5pm. My friend was happy with his masseur, but mine was so so. Not sure why, my luck with VCK isnt as good as other places, but they do have more guys thats are my type. Maybe because the masseur here tend to rush things and that doesnt sit well with me. Plus the guy i choose looks different than his photo.  We went back to our hotel and meet for dinner around 8pm at wine connection silom. We joined 2 fellow forum members who are already there eating. After dinner, we were discussing which bar we should hit tonight. We settle with moonlight and jupiter.  I really wish to say that our second visit to moonlight improves, but sadly it doesnt. There is one more floor boy I saw that wasnt there during our last visit but he is still borderline case for me, and in BKK, there is just a lot to choose from, you dont have to settle with borderline cases. I was hoping to see if Joey is around, but unfortunately, its his off day tonight. We do see more new models though, plus the return of Mr Mean. The brazillian freelancer is still around as well. Of the new models, Mr Khun i find attractive, with all the right muscles. We didnt stay long and make our way to Jupiter next. Significantly less people in jupiter tonight. I wonder if the increase in entrance fee to 600 has anything to do with it. My friend already have a guy tonight and i booked my regular guy for tomorrow. My initial plan was to see if joey is around and perhaps but him a drink and see if he wanted to go with me ST, and exception only reserve for the few. Since he is not available, hard for me to find a comparable replacement lol. I did had a guy already from vck and tomorrow afternoon, I already booked another guy to come to my hotel, so tonight i suppose I will be alright to have it as a rest night. Signs of getting old i suppose. Shows at jupiter is as good as it can be. Cherry on top was poppy is here, together with yesterday's singer. Last night, i asked the singer if he can sing one or two songs i requested, and he said he didnt know the songs. Tonight, I asked if poppy knows the song, he said he knows one of them but havent sing it for a long time so cant do it that night. I finally find a thai song that both of them can sing, and featuring Boom too!  No supper for tonight as I have no guy to feed so back to my hotel and finally get my 8 hour beauty sleep at night, first one this trip.

The Onsen sounds interesting...

Just one more vdo. Last night in Thailand True Visions showed the Finals of the World Skating Grand Prix in Nagoya earlier this month. The 21-year old American Ilya Malinin skated what is by far the best Free Skate in history with a programme including no less than seven quad jumps, one of which was the first time in international performance of the most fiendishly difficult of them all - the quadruple Axel. It was truly a jaw-droppong performance which massively outscored all the other competitors. If he skates like that in the Olympics, the Gold is definitely his. Sorry the commentary is in German. You can see the description of each jump after it takes place by looking in the middle of the box at the top left. The quad Axel is the second jump. As the German commentator says "unglaublich" - "unbelievable!"
