have fun and report your findings

Day 14, time to say good bye Another Bangkok morning welcomed alone but at least in well warmed bed after meeting with Mekhin. Natra Silom breakfasts are super economy affairs ( tea/ coffee , fruit , toast , jam , cereal with milk ) so usually I go first to Foodland Patpong for their a little bit more substantial offering with two fired eggs and a slice of ham instead of bowl of cereal above. Nothing sumptuous but I find it filling enough , sometimes I fortify it with say fruit and coffee at Nantra upon return. In the morning I had chores, to buy some cheap bag for carry-on and to repair my glasses frame which broke yesterday so allowed myself pleasure of wandering through Silom market in soi 10 and then one across the Silom . Then found Charoen Optical close to soi Sala Daeng where it turned out I need to replace frame. Easy but for few hours I was a bit blind without glasses, good enough for aimless wandering on both sides of Silom with some time spent in the internet café. Regaining my vision I head to Lumpini for my last stroll there, no familiar faces at the gym bar one Tawan / or former Tawan because I did not see him there this time / man who is regular there. Usually first half of my last day in Bangkok is do nothing exercise and this time was not different but I remembered that at 5 p.m. I have an appointment with Namu at Bangkok Massage and was there on the dot to his amazement. We took shower together as always there but forget about massage as we always have our own way of having fun without wasting oil on my skin. As always there I extracted couple hugs from boys I had massage in the past , Lek was actually in the shower in all his glory and Kai I managed to catch on the corridor. 100 baht each as always, what is funny I don’t do this in another places but there it is my way of appreciation of their friendliness. ( Attention firecat69 – Kai is the boy we both liked look of when we were sitting at Maxi’s across back in Dec 2014 assessing their boys). Upon return to hotel I parked myself in the lobby but not for long as Tao arrived as promised exactly at 7 p.m. His massage is the best of them all and I can’t imagine not having it with him at least once every trip. He used to work at Banana Club but now is at BBB Inn. He told me he will be charged 500 for leaving work but I had money for him already ready since he is one of those boys I actually tip up front. After 2 hours of mutilation I invited him for a dinner at Oasis to have my last chance to taste their excellent you guess what. Then we returned to the room for another round of getting intimate since he is not only perfect masseur but also skilled in other tasks and on top of it handsome man of very gentle personality. In short perfect to be first and perfect to be last on every Thai trip. At 11 p.m. we kissed each other good bye, in several minutes I was packed up and ready to go. BTS to Phaya Thai, train to the airport , smooth departure procedures and this time no money left for last minute shopping and no coins left to leave with cleaner. For 15th time I kissed Thailand good bye. Lots of time for trip reflections flying through the half of globe and 42 centigrades temperature difference between Bangkok and home LOL. This trip was different than my last few but similar to previous ones in that I combined Thailand with other country in the region. As much as I adore boy chasing in Bangkok and Pattaya Cambodian part was my goal and proririty. I still have my guide from trip 15 years ago, places I could easily and peacefully visit this time were then described as ‘ fighting there was as recently as 3 years ago and temple is still out of bounds from Cambodian side” (Preah Vihear) , ‘ accessible by helicopter only’ (Preah Khan and Koh Ker ), ‘last 20 km road very bumpy and difficult in the rainy season, count on 3 hrs from Kompong Thom” ( now30 minutes , Sambor Prei Kuk ) and “ last 10 km impassable in rainy season” ( Bang Melea). I did not plan any sinister activities but I’m glad I managed to report from 4 massage places and Barcode boy who entertained me for 3 nights and a day was great and sweet joy as much as great surprise. I’d gladly recommend him but he is no longer there landing real job in company of his dreams like I brought him luck or something. Thailand part brought few surprises. First , I offed quite a few twinks, not by design , it just happened and no harm done at all, I liked all of them. Second, again not by design I had more short time offs than in last few trips combined. I liked all those encounters but still firmly belong to long time camp , hence doubled meetings in both Pattaya nights. Third , some chance encounters turned out to be very rewarding with both boys from Fresh Boys and one I took from almost empty BBB on my last night in Pattaya true highlights. I liked to be butterfly again with only one repeat of massage in Pattaya. On another hand it was great to see and fall into arms of old companions : Tiger , Jack, Dit, Namu and Tao and sight of Bank at BBB was truly heart stopping as I was sure he is gone for good. Only disappointment in a sense was Tawan , bar I was on monodiet for a while and still my favorite by a mile if not two. Off from there was great but I did not like steep tip request sensing I’m taken for a ride and I got upset with digital scene with complaint of not getting off. So this time I decided to give them a pass with bleeding heart to avoid leaking wallet. May be if Boy #15 was there I’d be more inclined to repeat visit but no , I will not be paying 4000 long time as long as 3000 options will be available. And lastly which is truly shocking for me to realize – first time since fall of Roman empire I think I enjoyed Pattaya part better than Bangkok one. Am I becoming another sad farang to grace her streets ? It was great to meet star like Mekhin but this trip also proved that unheralded, ordinary looking boys like those mentioned above can provide great time and be tons of fun to be with , still smiling at memory of both Fresh Boys boys making sure I have fun participating in their own. Thank you again to those members who found time to meet me : paulsf, capitainmick, ChristianPFC, xiluzer and his friends, DivineMadman and anddy, if was great pleasure to meet you.

I agree and even small charge like 1-2 baht would reduce garbage substantially because we people hate paying for something we can avoid to.

my receipt for that problem is to tell mamasan I don't want drink but I will buy one for you, that way bar has its sales and mamasan is kept at bay at the same time not necessarily , there's always me and me-likes to keep them on the shelf a bit longer I feel too but restrain myself to buying my own drink and sometimes to boys sitting on my right and left if I will not be offing them. Good to know they don't get a cut on alcohol but I always let them to pick up their drinks anyways exactly, educated , mature and urban guys are trying to use the same measure for young boys straight from the rice fields and with not much schooling and this is quite a spectacle I like to watch all those shirtless boys working You are right but I, for one , like adventures and surprises and actually check very little other than asking them if they shave pubic hair which I hate and prefer to keep mamasans out of loop entirely

you may be in for something. One of guys I see pretty often is the same and he told me exactly what you said above , word for word, his father died when he was a kid.

thank you for a good laugh, I pretty sure those sitting downstairs don't mind at all

Malaysia, surprisingly perhaps but I like his face, just looking like my axe murderer from BBB Pattaya,

you are planning to suffer 18 hrs. in the sliver tube to have a chance of trying Thai food, fabulous as she is? Nevertheless you will have a ball whatever you decide to do and before you board your plane on return you will be missing Thailand already like most of us are

my theory is with so many grumpy old farangs among the patrons they just want to blend in.

thank you , you have a good heart with all those nice words. I hope your wishes will materialize. I was sending e-mail to one of our members today and while writing it , it dawned on me that instead of being bored and jaded after so many Thai trips I enjoy them more and more. That is my wish to you and all forum members - enjoy Thailand and her boys better and better with every trip.

You may be correct but I always eat breakfast because I'm hungry so tend to overlook those things. At least they are fast with food delivery. Smile I get from other boys later.

I rather stand in the aisle all those 18 hours and spend money saved on the boys. Wouldn't reject upgrade though but so far never happened.

Thank you very much. I'm glad to learn that my posts can be useful other than just killing time reading them. In bar environment when we a bit excited and not always exactly sober having money distributed in various pockets helps not only with controlling spending but also prevents spillage out of wad on banknotes too thick. Having lots of change also helps to prevent overtipping as well as situations when we are waiting for a change which never will come - like me on my Jupiter visit on day 13. If one treats boys well and with dose of respect they tend to appreciate it and repay with the same. Considering I tend to off long time this is even more important as spending 8 hours with grumpy boy whose only dream is to get out ASAP is a disaster recipe. But I'm not naive and cross them out fast if I sense they may be taking an advantage of situation. No reason to create a scenes but it helps to remember that there's plenty fish in the sea, lesson I re-learned this trip. Mekhin part of report was longer then usual due to anticipated demand , he is truly well known and popular. Also some may be hesitant to take him due to all that fame expecting primadonna-like behavior which is not a case at all. So report it's my part of community service I guess. Yes , you guessed right, it will be one more day to report, hopefully today if I find the time so watch this space.

this was exactly reason I posted all those pictures taken in remote Cambodian temples so readers can see there's a lot to admire outside of regular tour circuit

That is the key, not to look for bargains but learning how to restrain ourselves from buying things at end of day we really don't need at all. Best way to save money on Black Friday , biggest shopping day in USA is to avoid shopping at all that day

Happy New Year to you too ! as for question , it's easy. I don't spent any time taking pictures I'm posting in model thread, they are all recycled from internet so job done already by somebody else. please note that in my post at no time I was critical of others taking and posting photos of anything or anybody. I simply stated I consider it poor use of my time as far as I 'm concerned. I know people who are taking hundreds pictures a day on their trips, I wonder if they have a time of noticing what they actually see, that's all

lots of low lifes eating there including myself

come to the bar early like 9.30 for chance of good viewing spot and secure time to chat. On my first night there this trip he was available almost till end when young Asian snatched him because of my lengthy deliberations. He is not offed every night , I asked him. And this is a case in every bar, sometimes most popular boys are going home empty handed. I hope somebody will off #20 , 42 and 47 and reports as those are my "men of interest" for time being

possibly as mamasans must keep some kind of employee discipline. Otherwise they may open bar in the evening just to see nobody showing up for work that day or everybody being late, hence late show penalties and visible rush of boys in soi Twilight trying to be in the bars on time

just do it

both Reactine and Tawan boys will work, give them a try instead of just yaking

Bangkok Patpong location also calls itself "Cheap but Good" and while as I indicated in my post above breakfast in nothing fancy your last sentence is an absolutely exaggeration , me being alive and well serving as back up of what I say with at least 50-60 breakfasts devoured there in the last 4 years. You are right that Boat bakery opposite of Boyztown is sort of similar, again nothing fancy but even judge can eat there before tossing out prisoner's complains for lack of substance.

in both 2015 and 2016 I was in Bangkok and Pattaya twice , in the beginning of June and beginning of December and difference between two boys wise was very cosmetic, no shortage of them in either time. As baobao said be prepared for rain but certainly not as much as to ruin your vacations but it may rain from time to time for 1-2 hours

My advice for all going to Bali is to move inland. Ubud is great itself and as a base for exploring island. Head Ryan's advice and bring boy with you.

lack of stamp doesn't meant passport was not scanned, most likely it was when you were leaving Schengen area. And if one travels by air is in who knows how many databases
