Just a couple of points about Japan, a subject I know quite well.
First, the OP's observations were, by and large, spot on and equate to my own experiences. However I think Tokyo is cheaper than Paris or London. If you know where to go you'll find food and clothing in particular very cheap. Visitors wouldn't know where to go so end up paying higher prices. Drinks and transport can be expensive but, as the OP correctly pointed out, invest in a Japan Railpass - it's the bargain of the century.
 
Regarding the temples in Kyoto, I can understand exactly where the OP is coming from. However, there is a way to enjoy the temples without being templed out. The technique is to choose temples / places which are unlike each other; e.g. I'd recommend visiting Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji, Ryoanji, Nijo Castle and Ginkakuji. Each is different architecturally.
 
Finally, one point I totally disagree with the OP on - Japanese guys preferring other Japanese guys is definitely not racist in the true sense of that word, just like farang preferring Asians is not racist. It's a choice based on race, but racism to me implies something very nasty and demeaning. There are reasons why Japanese prefer each other which I posted on another forum so will not bother repeating here.

I've been sitting back quietly reading this trip report and have thoroughly enjoyed every post - entertaining, very informative and well-written.
 
Thanks for taking the time to share your Sexperiences.

Firecat, I just love your posts of real boys, especially when they're naked and lying on the stomach, waiting fir some action! I especially liked the one with the tube of KY. was that a before or after pic?? Lol
 
Sorry to hear about your injury. Hope it doesn't prevent you from your impending travels.
 
And please, please keep posting pics!

"Both sides are doing their part "
 
I think this is the key to having a good time with the guys. I always have at the back if my mind the fact that we are each playing a role; I'm always aware that he's working, although I try not to think about it and enjoy the "boyfriend" experience. It's really a bit of fantasy for me and part of the boy's job is to maintain that fantasy.
 
Having a regular guy day after day means he can relax, especially as it's not just a quick fuck or whatever; we actually spend time together doing other things. And I always let him decide what to do, where to go, which restaurant to eat at, etc,etc. I think this is very important, as it gives him a bit of "power" in the relationship,something these boys normally don't have - they are at the beck and call of the farangs most of the time.
 
I also like to surprise the guy every now and then with some unexpected treat, not because I have to - he's already being extremely well recompensed- but because I like to see his face light up when he's happy. That makes me happy, so we are both winners.

Now that you know who is no longer sitting out on the verandah of the Ambiance, it is also back on my list. Ok, it's not 5 star but the rooms were nice enough - only used for sex and sleeping- and it was always very clean. The staff there were very nice,too and I was not particularly bothered by any noise from the soi. Others, apparently, have been bothered by that.
All in all, it's definitely a place I always enjoyed staying at.
 
Sure, some hotels may be "boy friendly" but some of us are concerned about bringing back a guy and having to endure the derisive stares of the other guests, especially when in the elevator. I imagine the boy would feel uncomfortable, too. Staying at a specifically gay hotel solves that problem.

Yes, that us always difficult. But I can go back whenever I want - I just need a break from all the sex and the unhealthy late night lifestyle - and I know he'll be waiting for me. At least I hope so; it's one of the reasons I treat him so well. (Having written that, I just realised I'm in Bali at the moment living a very unhealthy late night lifestyle. So perhaps I just need a break from the guy...hehe)
 
But at the end of the day, he's a working boy. I know where I stand with him, and he knows exactly where he stands with me. I've only ever had 3 steady guys over all the years, and they were always waiting for me when I arrived back in Pattaya. But if a farang lavishes more money on them, I'm pretty sure I know what they'd do if we were both in town at the same time.

I found out a couple of years ago when I met Jack from Eros that if you are lucky enough to find a guy of BF quality, it makes life so much easier. No more running around, you have a known quantity, you get to know each other very well, and everything just goes smoothly all the time.
 
The hardest part, of course, is finding the guy in the first place.

"In the end, if boys have no customers, it's their wrong choice of place and time of work."
 
Some boys have no choice, Christian. And they can't always "find work elsewhere."

It's low season and heaps of boys are basically going hungry. They are literally living day to day and don't know where their next meal is coming from. Call a few boys over to sit with you, buy them some drinks and give them a tip at the end. They'll really appreciate it.
 
The other night one boy begged me to chuck wow him but I said "no." He then got in the ear of the guy I was sitting with -he's his friend-and asked him to persuade me to chuck wow him. So I did. Suddenly all the boys sitting around waiting for customers lined up in front of me! I got them to sit with me and we had a great time drinking and chatting. Normally I only sit with one guy and give him my full attention but now I like the idea of bringing lots of guys over for a small party. At the end I just give them each a 200 baht tip, which is fair enough as they sit with me for quite a long time and their cocks are always on offer - literally in my face...hehe. I don't buy a bottle if whiskey like some farang do, as the boys tend to get shit-faced pretty quickly. It would end up a lot cheaper but even though the boys can have as many drinks as they want, none of them goes overboard and gets totally smashed. It's just a really happy atmosphere and everybody wins.
 
What really amazes me is how the boys just can't seem to keep their hands off their cocks, even when just sitting around talking. I told them I didn't care if they were hard or soft but they can't help themselves...hehe. It also amazes me that 10 minutes after I chuck wow a guy, he's back for more! Also, although a lot of these boys are 100% straight they seem to enjoy touching each other and like watching a guy being chuck wowed. One boy I was "servicing" was really in the moment - head back, eyes closed, mouth open and saying "see-ow maak" when another boy suddenly tweeted his nipple and he immediately lost his hard-on. He's totally straight yet can get it up for me at the drop of a hat. Amazing Thailand. Amazing guys.
 
As others have pointed out here, what's nothing to us can mean they can at least eat. (What we pay for a night in a hotel can be half of what they pay in a month for a room.) It also gives them some incentive to come to work. Many turn up every night but don't have any customers, which would be pretty demoralising, I think. Also, some of the less attractive guys must never get offed or invited to sit with a customer. What would that do to their self-esteem? So let's buy them a drink, too!
 
It's a good idea to put ourselves in their place every now and then and try to imagine what it must be like to walk around with an empty wallet and an empty stomach and, for some, to feel unwanted.

If you are arriving in the afternoon and feel the need to release all that built-up tension, don't forget the newly renovated Golden Cock. It caters for frisky farangs looking for sex in the afternoon. Opens at 1:00 from memory.
Walk down Suriwongse Street with Soi Twilight at your back, turn left down the soi just after the Tarntawan Hotel. Tawan muscle bar will be on your right as you walk down the soi. (Give the massage place opposite a miss). Turn right at the first corner where the Mango restaurant is, and Golden Cock is on your left.
Further down the soi, on your right is the infamous Natureboy. Great if you love total sleaze. Basically, anything goes.

Haha...and of course, you know the bar well. It's the one you introduced me to.
 
As for the guy "being different" you know what I mean. He's different to the point where I just stick with (and in) him. He's actually saved me a fortune as I no longer have to bar hop looking for someone. He's gorgeous!!!

We visited Eros last night aroun 12:00 I think. There were 2 customers and only 3 boys "dancing" inside so like the night before, I heard they closed at 12:30. A couple of guys were dressed and sitting outside. Mind you, there must be some boys around as we saw one farang go into his apartment with 4 boys. (NIrish, I didn't realise you were in Pattaya...lol)
 
I don't know about the other bars, but if that's the situation in Eros, God help the other bars.
 
That's the benefit if finding a guy and staying with him. Butterflies have had their wings well and truley clipped, I'd think.

Things are pretty quiet in Pattaya at the moment; not dead but only just surviving, or so it would seem.
Last night we dropped by Eros at 9 pm but there was only one customer. One boy was amusing himself chuck-wowing another boy on the sofa. We went back at 12:30 but the bar was closed!
I'm not bar hopping;I'm with the same guy I spent my last holiday with. He drops by around noon for an afternoon of fun, we go out to eat and then back to the room. We then go out to one of the beer bars, but last night we were the only customers. The night before a stunning young (30ish) Russian came into the bar. He sat next to me and got very touchy-feely. (My guy had left by then and I was just finishing my drink). I had had enough to drink but found myself ordering more beers as I wanted to stay with the Russian guy. I think I ended up having about 5! He was wearing an open shirt and put my hand on his beautiful chest. He then placed my hand on his cock. Wow, what a thick sausage! He wasn't hard, but it wasn't difficult to imagine what it would be like when standing to attention. Unfortunately, his Russian friend turned up and he left.
The biggest problem for the gogo bars at the moment is probably not the lack of customers; it's the World Cup. Boys are staying home to watch the football. Or so I was told by one of the mamasans.
I've also been caught up in the World Cup. I went shopping with my guy to Tukom. He was looking longingly at a certain device - I won't mention what it was, but you can probably guess-it's what the boys all ask for. In the past I've always said "no" as I probably wouldn't see the boy again. But this guy is different -I spend my entire holiday just with him. He was drooling as we walked past all the booths, so I asked him if he wanted one. "Too expensive," he said. We kept walking and eventually he said he could pay some money towards it. What?? I've never heard a guy say that before. So in the end, I agreed and bought it fir him. The amount he put towards it was a lot for him, but probably not much for us. But it was the offer that surprised me; I was really impressed.
Well, sine then he's spent just about ALL of his time on it, checking the football scores! He comes to my room and out it comes -the device, I mean. "What about me??" I ask...lol
It's all my fault. Having said that, he does switch it off when we hop into bed and we still spend a couple of hours enjoying ourselves. Then after the shower, it's back to the device.
Oh, well, it doesn't really matter. We watch things together and it's good for conversation. I'm so glad I bought it for him because I've never seen anyone so happy in all my life!
So that is my Pattaya report. I just wish it football would finish! Other than that.....
Life's good!

"Fact that he offered to participate shows he is decent boy and understands our money doesn't grow on trees. Likely he feels better too as he bought it with a little of help from you, right?"
 
Exactly!
 
I just have to resist the temptation to give him back his money on the day I leave...lol
But I'll try not to, as it gives him ownership.
 
He's absolutely glued to it. I'm sure he even sleeps with it...haha. We just got back from the shop where I bought him a cover and a shoulder bag. So now he's all set up. His smile hasn't left his face.
