Cheep pricks indeed, these are the real cheep Charlie's who give the genuine budget travelers a bad name.
 
They demonstrate that they have no respect for the boys and obviously have no self respect if they find it acceptable to exploit people in such a way.

So now I am going to vent and I really don't believe that this is directed at any members here at least I hope not.
 
Tan-Suphan2005 on Planetromeo is the boy I gave rent money too and helped him put better photos in his ad which I was sure would result in more interest since the photos he had were dark and not very appealing.
 
Turns out he got a quite a few messages. I have not seen him since because I know he wants to try to repay me by taking less and I figured new customers are what he needs.
 
I asked him this morning if he had new customers from photos and he said no. They offer him 400 ST, 700 all night etc. I told him to come see me.
 
Fucking cheap pricks, he showed me messages. They should not be allowed in the country. They spend thousands to travel here and then try to cheat the boys out of a fair amount and take advantage of the very slow season.
 
I recognize there are some retired people here on strict budget and they need to restrict their spending but 400 baht??? They should be ashamed of themselves. And the others should never leave their own disgusting country if they cannot afford to treat the boys fair.
 
He did have a couple of messages from customers who are coming in the next few weeks and offered the proper amounts. Hopefully that will happen and as more customers arrive they will be better ones.
 
Disgusted beyond belief today and if anyone does not agree with me don't post because there is no telling what I will say!!

fear not , I don't think many money boys are reading those pages 

my underline above,
 
nothing made me more curious about going to CM than your statemnet quoted.
 
It's good we have so different tastes - all boys are being fed this way

This is the last segment of my 12 day trip to Thailand = Pattaya
 
Friday 10 July – Time to say goodbye to Woody and Non. 
 
The original plan was that they would help me find a taxi and/or van for Pattaya from Kanchanaburi.  After our visit to the Tiger Park and during the drive back to Kanchanaburi, they announced to me that they would take me to Bangkok, as they would go to visit one of their friends there.  I was so delighted, because it is much easier to get to Pattaya from Bangkok than it is from Kanchanaburi.  Their friend lives near the Pinklao bridge in BKK so they dropped me off at the Central Pinklao Bus Station.  Of course they found the most sexy taxi driver and then did all of the negotiating for me – 1,200 baht to get to Pattaya.  Then all of the hugs and good-byes and wais and off I was for Pattaya with the sexy taxi driver in the front seat, who by the way could not speak much English.  Traffic was intense as rush hour had started.  I dozed off a few times and the driver teased me each time I woke up.  I actually wanted to fall asleep on him, but he seemed to be very straight – but I could not figure out why he insisted that I sit in the front seat with him.  It was difficult for me to keep my eyes off of his package.
 
Anyway, we arrive in Pattaya and the traffic in Pattaya was more intense then the traffic in BKK – we crept along very slowly and the taxi driver had NO clue where to find Sunee Plaza.  In my last visit to Pattaya 18 months ago, I stayed in Boyztown at The Ambiance.  I decided that for this trip to lodge in Sunee and for my next to-be future trip to stay in Jomtien.  So, I used my smartphone to guide the taxi driver to Sunee Plaza.  Once we were in site of Sunee I told him to stop and then I paid him and got out of the taxi.  Before I could leave he noticed a very sexy woman and said something that sounded like a howling dog in heat.  In that moment I knew he was straight.
 
I did not make any reservations but thanks to this web site, I informed myself about 2 places that interested me in Sunee – first the Marina Inn Plaza on Soi Yensabai.  A little bit disoriented and trying to use my smartphone google map app to find it, immediately a queeny guy latched onto me and tried to take my luggage to help me.  I tried to resist but he insisted and seemed harmless and said to me, “where you go mister?”  I said Marina Inn and he brought me there and asked the front desk for a room.  Up we went and the room that they gave him a key for was horrible – tiny, dirty, and with old dried sex stains on the bed.  Yuck!!  I told the guy, NO way.  Then we went back downstairs and this time I took control and I spoke to the woman at the reception and I showed her a picture of a nice room that I saw on the Marina Inn web site – she said – “Oh, all of those premium rooms up on the top floor are full and the only rooms available were of the type that you just visited.”  So, I said no thanks and we left.  Now I shared with my new friend that I wanted to go to the Eldorado Guesthouse on Moo 10, so we go walking and he brings me to a different hotel and I told him – NO, this is not the Eldorado – so I took my luggage and walked away and thankfully my new former friend saw another falang and immediately latched onto him.  Pretty incredible this scene – but I guess there are just guys lurking around in Sunee to latch onto unknown falangs??  Is this normal?
 
So, back to my google map app and I arrived at the Eldorado Guesthouse. 
http://eldorado-pattaya.com/
It was hotter than hell, they took me to the top floor to see the 2 best rooms they had and I took the smaller of the 2.  Nothing to compare to the beautiful River Kwai Village Jungle Resort or The Ambiance in Boyztown, but I promised myself that this trip had to be Sunee focused – so I decided to stay here.
 

 
Unpacked, took a shower, got dressed and went to eat downstairs.  Being a JO fanatic, I immediately went over to the “Good Boys” bar,
 

 
I barely stepped into the bar and a guy grabbed me and pulled me behind the screens in the back, sat me down and whipped out his stiff cock and told me to chuck-wow him, which I obliged.  Another guy came to take my drink order while I was jerking off the other guy, and then 2 more guys came over to be jerked off – it was all too much too fast.  So I said to the guys, look – I only have 2 hands so only 2 at a time.  So I jerked off the first 2 guys, we cleaned ourselves up, I drank some of my drink and now all of the 3 guys wanted drinks so I said ok, then I jerked off another 2 guys, and they came, etc.
 
The best guy was the last one, the 5th guy, very sexy and manly, but by this time my arm was exhausted, as I have never jerked off so many guys non-stop before.  He reached his orgasm and then he cleaned up.  Another 3 more came to be jerked-off – but I said no thanks and just asked for the bill.  The place was not too busy, there was another 2 falangs in the various cubicle areas – some were doing more than I allowed myself to do, as I found it somewhat embarrassing – but it was still fun – a bit too mechanical for my tastes.
 
I am a former New York Jacks member,  http://www.nyjacks.com/  where the hot JO sessions that I had there for many years during the 1980s was a lot less mechanical but very exciting and interesting.  Perhaps because everyone was naked – about 80 guys on a typical night and the JO was reciprocal.
 
Afterwards, I walked around the rest of Sunee Plaza and it was quite dead, so I walked over to Boyztown which was also not so busy.  Took a walk on Beach Road and then the crazy Walking Street which were busy and full of excitement.  Back to the Guesthouse and to sleep alone.
Saturday 11 July – wake up at a leisurely late hour – oh the joys of vacation.  I walked around Sunee to see if I saw a breakfast place that look interesting and I did not find one so I headed over to Beach Road, right after it starts after the Walking Street finishes and I found a nice little breakfast place overlooking the beach and of course all of the traffic.  This place would become my breakfast place for the next 3 days.
 
Being hotter than hell and not being in the mood for the beach I walked over to the Central Festival mall, and just hung out there.  Checked out the movies, but the only interesting movie was, “Magic Mike XXL”, what better place to see this type of movie than in Pattaya?  Unfortunately, I already missed the start time, so after a while at the cool air-conditioned mall with stunning views of the Pattaya bay, I walked over to the Tuk.com to see what they had, as I love this place, as it is a mini version of MBK in Bangkok.  Ate lunch there and then went for a massage at the Royal House Massage, which is just one block behind Tukcom.  Unfortunately, they don’t have a web page – only a facebook page.
 

 
Upon entering I was given some water and then asked to choose from the approximately 20 guys, of which I liked about 10 of them, somewhat intimidating, but I applied the Vinapu technique and choose the 1st sexy guy that I liked asking the mamasan to tell the chosen guy to choose the 2nd guy for the 4 hand massage.  Then up to the premium room which was nice where I took a shower with the guy I selected while the other one prepare the room.  Massage was strong and firm like I like and then we passed to part two when I turned over and their 4 roving hands entered the erotic zone.  Our tools got stiff and then the mutual fun started and everyone had a happy ending.  Another sensual shower with my guy – the other one disappeared and then back downstairs to pay and drink some water.  It must have been a slow day as the other 18 guys were either sleeping, watching tv or playing on their smartphones.
 
Back to Guesthouse for a nap and then over to Copa in Boyztown to eat outside so I could watch the 9pm Boyz, Boyz, Boyz parade and to see the hot go-go boys outside of Funny Boys.  Sadly the guys were not into parading like they were 18 months ago – perhaps it was the heat or lack of customers?
 

 
There were only 2 customers at Copa eating.  After a while the Funny Boys manager (the masculine bald guy) came over to me and told me to come for a visit after I finish my dinner.  And yes I did, as there was a hotty toned muscular straight guy I was taken by who was standing outside.  After 30 minutes of watching them strut on the stage, I offed the hotty (he is number 99) cocky straight guy and told him to choose another guy and then we took a short time room at The Ambiance.  I did not know that The Ambiance had this convention with Funny Boys.  No check-in or ID check required, just straight up to the room.  Wow!!!  We had a hot session, but the hotty could not get off with his colleague in the room, so we sent him to take a shower so I could finish the deed.  In hindsight I should have just offed the hotty number 99, but with only 4 days in Pattaya I was greedy.  Back to Sunee Plaza which by now was dead, so I went to bed.
 
Sunday 12 July – Usual routine with breakfast on Beach road.  Off to the Central Festival mall this time to make the 12:15 showing of “Magic Mike XXL”.  Having never been to the cinema in Thailand before I did not know what to expect.  The standing for I guess what is the national anthem was very touching especially with the video showing the Thai people how they can make a personal difference in cleaning up Thailand.  This is something that they should show in the Italian cinemas – as Italy is getting dirtier and dirtier as each year passes with many citizens just chucking their trash on the roadside or at the beach.  The cinema was huge and empty – perhaps we were 10 people for a hot Sunday afternoon.  Movie was ok, but the original Magic Mike was much better.  Those male strippers are SO sexy.
 
Walked around the mall afterwards and I noticed a stand on the 3rd floor towards beach road with a teenager flying a drone around the mall.  It was so cool.  I’ve always wanted to have one so I started to talk to the kid’s mother and next thing I know – 7,000 baht later I bought my first V686 WLtoys Chinese drone with a camera and video control. 
 

 
I was so stressed on how I was going to get this through the Italian customs – but it was clear sailing – no one said anything or asked any questions about that big box in the middle of my luggage.  I have yet to fly it – as I promised to first finish my trip report before going to play because I did not want to hear the dreaded words of Vinapu, “I am impatiently waiting for your trip report”.
So, I will dedicate my first drone flight in my Rome apartment to Vinapu!!!
 
Ate lunch at the Central Festival Mall in one of those restaurants with an incredible view overlooking the Pattaya bay – really incredible and cheap for that kind of meal with a view.
 

 
Now what to do during the day in Pattaya.  Dropped the drone off at the guesthouse and I walked over to the Bali Hai Pier and checked out the various boats and where they were going.  By this time many boats were returning from Koh Larn – the pier was full of Chinese tourists.  Took some pictures and then I got what I thought would be a good idea to continue walking to Jomtien – I read on one of these boards that someone jogs it in the morning.
 
I checked out the under construction Waterfront Suites & Residences complex, which is a huge 53 storey structure and it was amazing to see it up close and personal.  Then towards the back side of the Bali Hai Pier where they park, store and move the boats around – I saw lots of cute Thai guys driving tractors putting in and taking out the boats from the water.  Then to the light house for a breather as it was still hotter than hell.  From the lighthouse there are some nice views as you are at the point where the Pattaya bay finishes and the Pratumnak Hill luxurious area starts.  Stupidly I had believed that you can follow the coastline all the way to Pattaya Park, where the nice promenade starts to get to Dongtan beach.  Unfortunately I was forced to climb up the hilly streets to be disappointed when going down the next street to find out that there was no promenade nor sidewalk along the beachfront, each time having to walk back up the hill to the busy Thappraya Road.  After the 4th time of this up and down with the hotter than hell heat, I was exhausted and just decided to walk to the Sansuk Sauna at 391-49 Moo 10, which is not far from Thappraya Road.  www.sansukpattaya.com
 

 
What a delight to be at Sansuk – I scared the front desk because by this time I was drenched in sweat from head to toe and I could not wait to take a cold shower – what a relief and joy.  Had a nice Iced tea drink and sandwich and just relaxed around the pool.  There were about 30 guests. 
 
Then I began the adventure walking around upstairs and right away an older Thai military guy pursued me and we played for a while in a private cabin.  He got off and unfortunately after my big 3 hour trek in the hot sun from Sunee Plaza to here, my systems were not all go and I could not get off.  It was still fun anyway.  Afterwards we took some drinks around the pool and he told me about everyone who was there as he told me he visits every day.  So I ended up with the town gossip.  Then he left me alone and I tried my adventure again and this time all systems were go with a hot Thai guy who was working out in the poolside gym.  What a hotty.  Good for my ego because no payments were made and everything was without any money boy pressure.
 
I really liked the Sanuk Sauna – it is very clean and modern, nice grounds, fun people, good food, nice pool and gym – what more could you ask for.  I will definitely be back.  I took their brochure and I found out that they also have a guesthouse.  This could be interesting since the next time I come to Pattaya I promised to myself to stay in Jomtien – so that way I will have stayed in the 3 most important gay zones of Pattaya.
 
Then I walked over to the Jomtien complex looking for a restaurant and for the life of me I cannot remember where I ate – but I remember that it was next to a hotel and across the street from a small massage shop (perhaps the restaurant is the one across the street from the Happy Massage) with sexy guys sitting outside.  I truly wanted to go to that massage shop but by the time my dinner was finished the massage shop was closed and my dream guy was taken away on a mocy by some other guy who came to pick him up – probably his boyfriend - I will never know. 
 
Does anyone know the name of the restaurant where I ate? 
 
There were many Cambodia and Viet Nam guys working there – one was drunk and very insistent that I go with him after my dinner, as his room was across the street as he kept interrupting my dinner to point to his window upstairs.  Anyway, the food was great and the other waiters were very nice – but after Sansuk and my 3 hour walk in the hot sun from Sunee Plaza to Jomtien – all of this action killed my energy levels.  So, I grabbed a mocy and went back to my guesthouse to crash and sleep.
 
Monday 13 July – woke up very late – went to my usual breakfast place.  Today nothing special during the day time – checked out Mike’s Place mall, Central Festival, looked for more movies but nothing interested me.  Walked again over to the Day/Night area – visited Tuk.com again, etc.  Took a massage again at the Royal House and this time I again chose a 90 minute 4 hand massage.  I picked the first guy and he picked the 2nd guy.  Again there were approximately 20 guys to pick from of which 10 to 12 were my manly type that I like.  However, for our twink lovers there were also some to pick from.  Everything was great – except I lost my control and arrived at the squirt too early – but it was ok – as they were super good with their sensual touching skills that I could not control myself.  This time a shower in 3 and then left with a happy smile.
 
Tonight I went back for my last dinner at the restaurant next to the Copa more towards the Boyz Boyz Boyz bar so I could get a better look when they did their 9pm parade.  I could also see my #99 guy with his naked torso standing outside of Funny Boys – he is so cocky and sure of himself.  After dinner I went for the Boyz Boyz Boyz show and it was packed.  I was quite surprised because my entire time in Sunee, Boyztown, and Jomtien it was not busy.  Anyway, most of the clients were Asian tourists.  I got a seat to the left of the stage about 4 rows back all alone and of course 2 waiters were all over me trying to get me to commit to taking them with me later in the evening.  They were ok, but I was more interested in the guys on the stage.  Then an Asian guy and girl were placed with me and the girl was next to me.  I had already bought some of these ping pong balls that they were selling in a basket – and you can throw them at the guys on the stage and they would all jump in a frenzy to get them as they are worth money to the go-go guys.  It is a new attraction and it was quite fun.  The only negative is that the guys would accumulate these balls in their underwear which would give them a strange look and took away from their sex appeal.  Anyhow, the Asian girl took some of my balls and threw them at the guys – at first I was put off – but then she and her friend bought some and they gave me some of their balls and we had so much fun throwing them at the guys.  So we got to know each other and they were from Taiwan and very nice – eventually they changed seats and the guy, who I found out was the girls brother, let me know that he was interested in me – but only if I would tell him that I am not a butterfly.  I could not do that so they left – but it was fun anyway.  We had exchanged Line before he left and he wrote me several times but I made him understand that I am a butterfly.
 
So now horny and no balls left, I paid my bill and left Boyz, Boyz, Boyz and I walked over to Funny Boys as I had decided that for my last night I wanted to take sexy #99 with me alone.  He was standing outside adoring himself as usual and when I tried to say hello and to reconnect with him he was cold as ice and a complete asshole – so I did not even enter Funny Boys as now I was pissed off.  I walked back to Sunee Plaza and I went to Nice Boys and had a BLAST!!!  There were maybe 10 customers and about 15 guys on stage.  The mamasan and I guess the owner were very encouraging and when I told them that I wanted 2 men, they became very excited and I picked the first one and caressed his macho manly body and told the mamasan to tell him to pick the 2nd guy. 
 
What was really funny was that I was supposedly this guys first client as he had only worked 3 days so far.  He was young and hot – not as hot as #99 at Funny Boys, but a good consolidation prize.  I told the mamasan that the 2nd guy had to speak English since the 1st guy did not.  Then the 5 of us had some drinks and we laughed the night away – they were teasing the new guy so much about his first off and all of the horrible things that I was going to do to him.  I was in stitches because he was SO naïve and the mamasan and owner were having so much fun.  Anyway, back in my guesthouse he learned that I am a softy and I did none of the things to him that they put into his head.  So, the 3 of us had a great time and the one who could speak English and myself, we had to invest a lot of time in the newby because it took him more than 1 hour to reach an orgasm – but every minute was worth it to get him to have his first customer orgasm and first 3-some in his life.  Fun stuff.
 
Tuesday 14 July – today is check out day – but I ask the Eldorado if I can pay for another day – it was only 700 baht per day for their 2nd best room – such a deal to allow me to have a 19:30 check out.  They also arranged my taxi back to the BKK airport for the same price to get here – 1,200 baht.  Just did some last minute souvenir shopping and dilly-dallying – nothing special.  No sex today.  19:30 comes and I see some stranger taking my big luggage and realize that it is the husband of the receptionist and she tells me it is all ok, because her and her husband will drive me to the airport – because with the slow season – they only had 2 customers and she said we really need to earn some money to pay the bills.  I said no problem.  They made the famous pee stop half way between Pattaya and BKK and I got to know the husband as he spoke great English and he had a lot of contact with the American GIs when they came to Pattaya for their R&R breaks during both the Korean and Viet Nam wars.  I am always fascinated to learn that my government is largely responsible for the creation of the sex industry in Thailand, which still exists today in Pattaya.  Just strange for me to hear this over and over from the different Thai people that I meet when it is my same government who is opposed this this sex business that they helped create.
 
Arrive way early say my wais and goodbyes to this lovely Thai couple and give them a big tip as I was so taken back by their stories of what it was like to grow up in Pattaya during those years – it was like having a private history lesson.  Ate dinner at the airport and waited for my Thai Airways flight back to Rome, Italy.
 
Last interesting note about this trip is that during the flight, the cute Thai stewardess tried to move me away from the bulk of Chinese tourists where I found myself in the economy class.  I think that she was trying to protect me from the Chinese ways – but I told her no – that I am ok where I am – as I wanted to learn about these Chinese ways.  Not much to report other than some occasional vulgar burping. 
 
So, that’s the closure of my long winded trip report of my 12 days in LOS.  Hopefully I did not bore all of you.  I cannot wait to come return to LOS.  I need to come up with some other interesting places that I can go with my favorite tour guides, Woody and Non. 
 
Any suggestions?
 
Actually I have applied for a couple of jobs in Bangkok and I am waiting and hoping that one of them will come through within the next 2 months – so if I am lucky, I could find myself living and working in Thailand before the end of this year.
 
Cheers,
 
M.
 

I hope bkkmfj will shortly treat us with Pattaya part of report so we can  move from the bridge to the steady ground

I agree with your sentiments, murder it is and murder for sheer pleasure only,  no one got feed by this
 
I like finishing statement from the article you pointed
 
"If you wish to adorn your home with proof of your own wanton avarice, drive a fucking Range Rover halfway through the wall of your stupid den and park it there"
 
but for lion it's too late unfortunately 

I see two explanations
 
1. they are trained to start with legs
 
or
 
2. this is only part of client body where they see trace of muscle not covered by the fat
 
or 
 
3. both

Guides are not for navigation Also they are not only guides, but concierge, translators and "scam protectors" 
 
Google maps can't show you interesting places (at least can't suggest) if places aren't on main "touristic roads", it can't tell you "avoid this crowded place", can't say on local language "I insist to use meter" in taxi, can't call to local theater and reserve seat, and for sure can't offer to spend 2-3 days in real local village home  
 
With navigation you can easy find place if you know about him, but navigation can't help you when you don't know about that place exist, also navigation nor google map can't help you to plan visits.

Big adventure to Kanchanaburi – 6 hours in the car and guess what a little bit grumpy at times – but to be expected.  As reported in the previous Sukhothai trip report section, thank God for the Thai rest areas, which break up the monotony and also provide an immense of choices for eating, drinking, and to kill the boredom.
 
We stopped for lunch in a surreal place in the middle of nowhere in the country-side between Sukhothai and Kanchanaburi – again hotter than hell and they only had outdoor seating – so we took the one with the least mosquitos and most fans.  Food was very good – “mom and pop style”.  Poor Non is always doing all of the driving on this trip while Woody and myself are often dozing off in the car or playing with our smartphones.  Non deserves a metal for excellent driving and for never dozing off.  Here he is at the out in the sticks restaurant, driving again – his t-shirt says it all, “Bide your time”
 

 
We arrive at Kanchanaburi city around 15:30 and I am thinking, halleluiah we have made it and we can finally get out of the car.  No, Woody informs me that we still have 1 more hour to go to reach our destination at the lovely and fabulous “River Kwai Village Jungle Resort Hotel”. 
 
http://www.riverkwaivillagehotel.com/
 

 
This place is real cool.  Try to imagine a lush resort tucked away in the jungle 1 hour outside of the capital province city, sitting on beautiful land on the banks for the Kwai Noi River.  This resort consists of 191 rooms spread out over an immense estate divided into 4 sections; Mountain Wing, River Wing, Royal Wing, and then the Raftel.  They showed us a room in the River Wing – it was nice – but I insisted with Woody – as they were speaking to the bell boy in Thai to show us one of the rooms that we saw down on the river.  Back to the lobby – at least a 10 minute walk – as the place is truly gigantic – get the keys to a Raftel room and then down the steep embankment and then over a little wooden bridge to a group of 26 barges all tied together – one after the other – with fabulous wooden carved rooms on each barge.  Once we entered I said, “guys – come on – this Raftel is MUCH better than the River Wing rooms…”  Woody and Non replied, “but it costs more” – “who cares”, I replied – these floating rooms are fantastic.  Being off-season – there were hardly any guests – as the resort was like a ghost town – so Woody and Non negotiated a 30% off the already low season price.  I was SO happy!!!  Having Thai guides are truly worth their weight in Gold – hence the reason that I keep trying to fatten them up with my falang breakfasts.  :>))
 
View of our Raftel floating on the Kwai Noi river – behind my left shoulder
 

 
Then I find out why we are here in this spectacular resort.  Non’s 2 sisters work here on a temporary construction site which is a little bit down river.  They are painting the new rooms in the to-be new modern wing of this already huge resort.  The receptionist was all excited to tell me all about it and suggested that I  return when it will open next year and I told her that the charm of this place for me was the wooden old-style rooms and that I much prefer the Raftel instead of the nice new concrete facility.  She was quite surprised – just call me old fashioned.
 
So, after checking in, and seeing the immense grounds (which included a big pool with water slide and sprouting decadent fountains) – the guys asked me if I could give the sisters some money to prepare our dinner as we would be eating out on our Raftel balcony.  That was all ok for me as I would be able to have a cultural exchange with Non’s 2 sisters and their male partners.  Later on that same evening they came with some cold iced beers, mosquito spray and candles, and some great spicy food and we just sat around and just chatted away and enjoyed the rapidly flowing river behind our balcony and the subtle movements of being on a barge on the river.  Obviously, I was just a silent observer as I don’t speak Thai – but I did insist on showing all of them our 3 zipline videos and our manly adventure.  They loved it.
 
Non drives the sisters back to the employee area of this resort – it is huge and they employee housing is tucked away in the deep jungle where the guests would not even know they are there.  I felt honored to see and experience “the other side” of this resort – to be with its laborers.
 
Again, a well-deserved 4 hand massage with the ensuing mutual squirting and relaxing.
As usual, the guys could not wait to have their all you can eat breakfast, so up the embankment to the main resort area to eat.
 

 
After breakfast, Woody told me bring bathing suit – because we might go into some waterfalls.  Yahoo!! We then drove off towards the Myanmar border to the famous Three Pagodas Pass, about 150 km from where we were.  At first I was confused, because for me, Kanchanaburi brings back memories of World War II studies, the Japanese occupation of this area, the Death Railway, and of course the famous movie, “The Bridge Over the River Kwai”.  Strangely, this had no relevance nor matter of importance to Woody and Non – as they could not understand our falang history and desires.  This was very strange for me – as they must have learned of the importance of this place during the war – but their lack of interest told me otherwise.  So, today it is jungles, waterfalls, and another Myanmar border town and I was happy.  Little did I know that at the Myanmar border crossing that I would be able to show the significance of this place and greater Kanchanaburi to us falangs.
 

 
After having understood the historical significance of this place I was disappointed to see the mini – Pagodas, as they had already formed a larger than life mental fantasy in my head from history class.  Anyway, it was worth the couple of hours drive to see this important historical place.

Three Pagodas Pass - Dan Chedi Sam Ong
Is a pass in the Tenasserim Hills on the border between Thailand and Burma (Myanmar), at an elevation of 282 metres (925 ft).  The pass links the town of Sangkhla Buri in the north of Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, to the town of Payathonsu in the south of Kayin State, Myanmar. The pass is named after three small, crumbling stupas or chedis which were probably built at the end of Ayutthaya period as a symbol of peace. They are now on the Thai side of the border. Parts of the border are still disputed.  These three chedis appear in the provincial seal of Kanchanaburi Province in stylized form. The pass gives its name to the Three Pagodas Fault. This pass has been the main land route into western Thailand since ancient times, and is believed be the point at which Buddhist teachings reached the country from India in the 3rd century.  During the Ayutthaya period in Thai history (14th-18th centuries), the pass was the main invasion route for the Burmese, but at times was also used against them by Siamese armies. The first was the Burmese invasion in 1548, part of the Burmese–Siamese War of 1548.  During World War II, Japan built the infamous Death Railway (officially Taimen - Rensetsu Tetsudo) through the pass. There is a memorial to commemorate the thousands of Australian prisoners of war who (with other Allied prisoners and Asian civilians) died as forced laborers in the construction of the railway.  The region is home to several hill tribes, including Karens and Mons, who are unable or unwilling to obtain citizenship from either countries. Separatist armies have repeatedly tried to take seize of the pass from Burma, with the Mons in effective control until 1990, when Burmese troops regained it.

 
These 3 photos put together tell a very interesting story.  For the left most photo I had to walk a little behind the Thai border crossing gate into the underbush to find it and this gesture slightly agitated the 2 machine gun toting Thai border guards because I had to enter no-man’s land (that area between 2 nations borders) to take that photo.  Then the center photo, which was taken to the left of the official border crossing where the local Mon market begins, shows the death count by country to build the 415 kmDeath Railway, of which you can see a small section of it passing here at Three Pagodas Pass in the right most photo.  According to the center photo plaque, an estimated 200,000 Asian laborers and 61,000 POWs were forced to build this railway line for the Japanese, of which 80,000 Asian laborers (mainly Burmese and Thai), plus 1,000 Koreans and Japanese, 6,540 British POWs, 2,830 Dutch POWs, 2,710 Australian POWs, and 356 American POWs died building it, hence the name given to it, “The Death Railway”.  Construction started in September 1942 and ended in October 1943.  It remained in service until the Allies bombed it and put it out of final commission in June 1945 – so it had a short life for the number of lives that were sacrificed.  What a waste of humanity.
 

 
When I explained all of this to both Woody and Non – they finally understood why Kanchanaburi Province had a very different significance for us falang.  So, we truly had a cultural exchange – my 2 Thai guides showed me the Disneyland side of Kanchanaburi, with its wonderful river, waterfalls, jungle, caves, etc. and I showed them something that was important in history and perhaps the Thai educational system chose to downplay.  We were both more culturally diverse for this trip and I was happy to have enlightened them somewhat.
 
Afterwards we explored the Burmese market and interestingly between the market stalls – I saw some cute guys and walked behind the market to investigate.  Woody came running after me, because I had actually walked into Myanmar without knowing it.  The market was actually on the border line – I thought to myself – wow – how porous this border is.  Anyway, I can now finally unofficially say that I have been to Myanmar even though my passport does not say so.  By the way, it was possible to do a legal crossing into Myanmar for me but not for my guides as they told me that they require visas.  I did not even push the issue, as I was already satisfied with my little 2 minute illegal adventure.
 
Finishing with the Three Pagodas Pass, we then drove back towards Kanchanaburi stopping at the Mon Bridge (Uttamanuson Bridge) which links the Sangkhlaburi market and local Mon village.  It is 850 meters long and crosses the Songkalia river.  There is a very large body of water which I believe is manmade, created by the Vajiralongkorn Dam.  Interestingly, the Mon Bridge is the longest wooden bridge in all of Thailand.  It was washed out in July 2013, but when we were there the redone wooden bridge, organized by the local Mon people was strong and beautiful and very operational.  Ironically, they left the floating temporary bamboo bridge up and you can see it from way up high.  It is truly a great experience.
 

 
Another example of evidence that the drought is having on Thailand – note the water level in 2015 – very low.
 
From the Mon bridge you can see the vast waters of the Khao Laem reservoir and also the Wat Wang Wiwekaram.  So we went to check it out and also to find out about getting a long tail boat out to the famous sometimes underwater "Old" Wat Wang Wiwekaram which is now refered to as Muang Badan (Underwater world).  This temple was sunk into the lake when the Vachiralongkorn hydroelectric Dam was constructed in 1979 - 1984.  During our visit it was not submerged due to the drought and the low water levels – consequently we were able to walk into the temple instead of having to try and see it from above the water.  Of course it was very muddy and slimy and we had to be careful about not slipping and falling into the mud like a pig.  Back to the long tail boat to the other side of the lake to visit another abandoned temple (I cannot remember its name) that was covered in tree roots.
 

 
Back to town to visit the most important temple, Wat Wang Wiwekaram & Chedi Buddhakhaya, which overlooks the entire area – you can see it peeking out of the tree line in the previous photo.
 

 
Now very tired from all day in this very hot and humid area – drive back to our hotel, which is some 150 km away.  Arrive back at the hotel and we eat dinner in the hotel restaurant and then afterwards we went to the fabulous hotel pool and water slide for some fun.  Non went to get his nephew and the 5 of us had a great time.  Since there were no guests in the vacant resort, Non had to call the reception area from the pool, as everything was closed up, and they sent one of the workers to turn on the pool, decadent squirting fountains, and water slide.  We had a blast all taking turns going down the water slide – it was great to be a youngster all over again.  There were no other guests so we had everything to ourselves.
 
Off to bed and no hanky pank as we were all exhausted.  Tomorrow was going to be our last day for sightseeing as the guys promised to drive me back to Bangkok after we finished our Kanchanaburi adventure.
 
Last day at the resort for breakfast and we were literally the only breakfast guests.  Checked out and the hot and sexy bellboy took my luggage to the car – a big feat since the car park is up the hill from the floating river rooms.  Here is a photo with him – he placed his hand on my butt during the photo and I did not know what to do – but we had to leave.  Damn!!!  So, if one of you readers get him – please do report all!!!
 

 
The guys had a passion to get their pictures taken with the tigers at the Tiger Temple (Wat Pa Luangta Bua Yannasampanno)   www.tigertemple.org .  We got there too early – before noon – so we decided to make a quick visit to the last stop of the River Kwai train, at Nam Tok at the Wampo Viaduct (Wang Po), so that I could finally touch and bond with the railroad and walk on the viaduct.  I was very happy but at the same time moved by the sheer sight of knowing that so many POWs gave their lives to build this.  Some photo ops and then back to the tiger temple for the guys. 
 

 
For those of you who might want to ride a train here I leave this web link (one of many), as I plan to return to Kanchanaburi – as 2.5 days here was not enough to do all of the million exciting things that are available.
 
http://www.roughguides.com/destinations/asia/thailand/central-plains/around-kanchanaburi/riding-death-railway/
 
Did some souvenir shopping at the Nam Tok train station market – t-shirts with the River Kwai on them.  Then back to the Tiger Temple for the guys (as I did not fancy my picture with the tigers – it was too controlled  and fake, as the tigers are tied to the trees and they do the foto op from between 12:30 and 13.30 the hottest part of the day as that is when the Tigers are most docile).  Sorry guys, no photos of my guides with the tigers – I did not take any photos – only this kitch photo here at the entrance to the park.
 

 
Ok, that ends my trip to Kanchanaburi – and I can say that I had a GREAT time – but my main regret is that I should have allocated more time to see more things (waterfalls, hot springs, caves, bamboo raft floating on the river, etc.)  So, another reason to return and reflecting back on this portion of the tirp – I can say that you should take 5 days to truly enjoy Kanchanaburi.  When I do, I am DEFINITELY returning to the River Kwai Village Jungle Resort – and not only for that cute bellboy – because that resort was fantastic.
 
My next trip report that I will post next week will be about Pattaya – in this segment – my two lovely guides and private masseurs dropped me off in Bangkok at the bus station near the Pinklao bridge where they arranged for me a great taxi to take me to Pattaya.  We did our hugs and goodbyes and I cannot wait to see them again – I love the both of them – they are great guys.
 
To be continued….
 

This is the last segment of my 25 wonderful days in Thailand.
 
09 January – 14 January 2014 Trip Report to Pattaya
 
Thursday 09 January – Arrive in Pattaya - went to BoyzTown
 
Flew to UTP - Pattaya – Utapao from USM - Koh Samui with Bangkok Airways departing at 11:10am and arriving at 12:25pm, costing 5,210 bahts – not bad for a 1hour 15 minute flight.  Arriving at the U-Tapao-Pattaya International Airport was a strange feeling as it has the look and feel of a military airport.  In fact, it is a joint civil-military airport housing the Royal Thai Navy Airfield.  Interestingly, U-Tapao was an ex-military base for the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War years.  The airport is about 45 minutes away from BoyzTown in downtown Pattaya.   Taxis were scarce so I had to share a van with 8 other single guys that looked like they were from Russia and/or some Arab countries.  As they were very heterosexual, it was good that I was the last stop, as I would not have been able to imagine the look on their faces had we entered BoyzTown as the first stop.  Hehehehe.
Checked into The Ambiance hotel (at the recommendation of Anonone and many others from this forum).  It was recommended for me since I am a “first timer” in Pattaya and the hotel is right in the middle of BoyzTown right next to Boyz, Boyz, Boyz. 
 
 

 
Well after unpacking and then going to the nearby Family Mart to stock up the room fridge, I headed out to check the BoyzTown street and right away I was swooped up by the sexy Alex barman from Boyz, Boyz, Boyz.  He asked me to sit for a drink outside the go-go boy bar and then he asked me if I wanted to off him.  Of course I said yes and within 20 minutes from exiting the hotel to hitting the street, we were back in the hotel having great sex.  Simply amazing, as this is an all-time record for me – in quickness in getting someone in my bed.  Alex left after given the white envelope and then I took a shower and dressed for the night out and ate at the Boat Bakery just around the corner on Pattaya Second Road, for some quick, cheap and fairly good Thai food, where I watched all of the Russians on the busy street – quite entertaining.  I had never seen such a huge concentration of Russians before.
 
Went back to Boyz, Boyz, Boyz and I was again greeted by Alex who then took me inside the go-go bar to get a good close seat to see the show.  The show was very good and I was impressed.  The best scene was when the breakdance group of young Thai college students performed some amazing feats on the stage.  They had an incredible amount of talent and were very sexy to watch.  I asked my designated bar man if any were off-able and he said no.  The rest of the show was similar to the ones that I saw in the BKK go-go boy bars.  Show ended and I decided to call it a night.
 
Friday 10 January – Went to Jomtien Dongtan beach, Boyz Gym massage, and Vassa Bar.
 
I wanted to check out the famous Dongtan beach so I took the 15 minute trip there by mocy.  Being the first time I did not know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised because I liked the proximity to Boyztown and the fact that it is much less urban in Jomtien.  You really feel that you have left the congested Pattaya as you are surrounded by a nice beach on the waterfront with lounge chairs and umbrellas and behind them are giant palm and coconut trees which create a big refuge where people are laying down on blankets getting massages or just relaxing in the shade.  In the shaded area are bars that offer refreshments and lunch.  In addition, there are vendors selling their wares as well as massage guys circulating around offering massages and guys offering pedicures/manicures.  All of the conveniences are brought to you.  The bar guys at the gay beach are very sexy and competitive (in the sense that they would say, “stay here with us” or “come here”) – which made it difficult to know where to stay.   Obviously the gay rainbow flag helped – but they were already soliciting way before I reached the gay flag.  There were pockets of Russian families around interspersed with small groups of gays – some Russian, some European and some Asian.  Also, later in the afternoon, some Thai guys started milling around trying to find company – but always more in the shaded area. 
 
 

 
I took a swim and I can say that the water was mostly clean and definitely cleaner then the Roman beach where I go in the summer back in Italy.  The hardest dilemma is to decide to keep the umbrella open or closed – as the sun would be too intense and then it would be time to open the umbrella again.  I was making the bar guys crazy with my constant requests to open and close.  In Koh Samui, since there was so much free space you could always keep your umbrella open and sit in the lounge chair underneath protected from the sun or put your beach towel out on the free space in the sand to get the sun when you wanted without having to disturb the bar guys.  Dongtan is too crowded – as there is NO free space to do this so instead you need to constantly open and close the umbrella.
 
I met a great guy from Israel (who formerly lived in Russia) who was sitting near me who was quite sexy and very talkative.  Several sexy massage guys would stop by and sit on his lounge chair and try to convince him to order their services and when he would say no, they would try to caress his ever growing package in his swimsuit.  It was very erotic and he was slightly embarrassed (because I was there) but at the same time I believe that he liked all of the attention and I think that he wanted to show off his tool in a discrete way.  He helped me to understand how things work at Dongtan – as it is quite discreet and you need to figure out their subtleties.  The Israeli guy left for the Sansuk Sauna – http://www.sansukpattaya.com/  -  as he told me that he was now horny and wanted some Russian cock.  He said that Sansuk was a great place to meet and fuck with horny Russians.  I wished him luck and told him that I had Thai meat on my menu instead of Russian meat.
 
On leaving the Dongtan beach I decided to take a walk away from Jomtien and instead towards Pattaya on the sidewalk that is between the coconut tree shade and the beautiful View Talay Condo complex.    It was beautiful, as the sun was starting to set.  As you might remember from my prior Trip Reports, one of the scopes of this trip was to see where I would want to live in Thailand when I will eventually retire and I can say that I believe that it will perhaps be here.  I liked the access to the gay beach, which is surrounded by other gay establishments, the proximity to both the nearby Jomtien complex with many more gay businesses, the proximity to South Pattaya (Boyz Town and Sunee).  But most important to me was the feeling of nature and the greenness of the surrounding area.  Too much concrete and urban congestion gets on my nerves – so, Dongtan seems to be a nice compromise.
 
è It you live here in Jomtien – please comment on what it’s like to live here as opposed to living in Pattaya, or Bangkok or anywhere else in Thailand.  It will help me to plan for the future. <--
 
 
At the end of the sidewalk, I took a mocy back to BoyzTown for an after beach nap in my hotel room.
 
Woke up somewhat horny and looked on Jack’d and I saw one of the massage boys (Krit – 27 years old) who was sitting outside from The Boyz Sauna Gym  http://www.boyzgym.com/  which is connected to The Alliance massage shop was writing to me to see if I wanted a massage.  I said yes and within 5 minutes he was up in my hotel room.  How convenient.  He gave me a great 1.5 hour massage – ok, that part was only 45 minutes and the rest was hot sexual pleasure.  We both came and appeared to be satisfied.  I was.  Paid the 1,000 baht tip to him and the rest went on the hotel bill – another convenience.  
 
Showered, off to dinner, and after dinner, off to The Vassa Bar to see their famous towel night (since so many from this forum have written about Vassa I had to check it out).
 
 

 
It was 10pm when I arrived and it was packed – which isn’t saying much, as the bar is tiny and there are only 2 rows of seats for the customers, where the first row is perhaps only 1 meter from the stage.  The only seat available was right in the front row and I took it.  I was immediately uncomfortable as the boys were so young and right in my face.  Now being in my 21st day of my 25 day trip in Thailand I had never seen such young and emaciated boys in the other go-go bars.  I never had this kind of reaction.  I tried to calm myself down with a stiff drink and watched the boys in their towels.  There was only one boy I liked and I took an immediate liking to him – he was shy and dancing in the back row on the stage.  He also had the longest towel on and was the oldest boy there and least emaciated – he had some meat on his bones.  I asked the mamasaan if he could sit with me and he was SO happy to get off the stage.  The mamasaan told me that his name is Khong and he is from Laos.  Unfortunately he could not speak English so the lovely mamasaan was kind enough to sit with me when she could to help me to have a conversation with Khong.  After a while the bar emptied out and I noticed an immediate transformation in the bar.  The mamasaan asked me to move in the back row to be more comfortable with Khong and immediately I was much more relaxed. 
 
At this point it was only me with the boys.  So, still being a little uncomfortable, I decided to have my second Anonone moment and I ordered drinks and a bottle of whiskey for everyone, including the mamasaan, the barker guy outside and even the person working in the back who was fully dressed but perhaps doing some bookkeeping.  Most of the boys came off the stage (as I was the only customer) and they surrounded me and we drank together and they began to play a game of “Rock, Paper, Scissors” Thai style, where the loser had to drink a shot of whiskey.
 

 
The guy with the name, “Boy” was losing the most and kept saying to me, “please drink for me” and I said NO – I need to perform tonight for Khong.  Every once and a while a customer would come in and the boys had to stop partying with me and run back up on the stage until they were either offed or the customer left.  These transformational moments were like scenes from “The Simpsons” – I truly had a blast once I got over my adverse reaction when I first arrived.  Reflecting on why I had that reaction – I think it was because I had reached my limit on the youth thing in a go-go boy bar and I felt like I was in an orphanage and I wanted to save all of the boys from their fate.  Alcohol, Khong, and the “Rock, Paper, Scissors” game with the boys got my mind off those bad thoughts that I had.  Around 1am, I took Khong back to The Ambiance for a short off.  I think that I paid, 800 to the mamasaan?
 
Back at the hotel 27 year old Khong was great.  I found out that he had only started at Vassa 2 days prior and that I was the first customer to off him.  When we weren’t kissing and cuddling, we were using my iPad to communicate from Thai/Laos to English once we found the right digital keyboard.  We had great sex and after a great shower together, I asked him to leave, as I don’t sleep well with someone that I do not know well.  I gave him a 1,500 tip – as he was so much my type physically and sexually.
 
Saturday 11 January – Went to Tukcom IT Center, Magnolia Spa, Walking Street and Sunee Plaza
Tukcom is located at 8 Moo 10, Pattaya Tai (South Road) – which is a smaller version of the big electronics mall MBK in Bangkok.  It is about a 15 to 20 minute leisurely walk from BoyzTown.
 
 

 
As you may have remembered from my Koh Samui trip report, my smartphone fell in the salt water and I was desperate to buy a new Samsung Galaxy to replace the old one.  I saw on the www.thaivisa.com forum that the Ice Mobile phone stall in TukCom came highly recommended.  So I went right there and the guy was great as he took apart my old smart phone and showed me how the salt water had short circuited my old phone and corroded everything.  We then decided on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (the old one was an S3) and the price was reasonable, 18,300 baht (407 euro) because back in Italy the same phone costs 499 euros.  He installed everything and even cut to size the old Italian SIM from large to small and gave me a shell frame so that I can use the SIM on old model phones as well as the new small SIM models.  He must have spent 2 hours with me – an excellent guy and service.
 
It was too late to go to the beach at Jomtien, so I instead took a taxi to the Magnolia Spa.  The manager sat with me in the lobby and I looked at a picture book and he indicated to me who was available and from the selection I chose Mo for a 90 minute 2 hand massage in their VIP room.  Mo is a sexy masculine Cambodian masseur who is 25 years old.
 
 

 
Mo gave me a nice strong and sensual massage for the first 55 minutes.  Then for the remaining time he tried to get me off fast, but I slowed him down telling him that we had plenty of time and that there was no rush.  I found out that he was rushing because he did not want me to fondle with him much and he made it clear that he did not want to get off.  So, I made him edge me a couple of times and when the moment was right I let him bring me over the edge.  He disappeared downstairs and I took a shower and cleaned myself up and headed back downstairs and paid the 850 to Magnolia and I gave Mo 1,000.  He would have gotten more if he had not been so cold about letting me play with him.  Perhaps he was straight or I was not his type ??
 
The Magnolia Spa is in a big 2 floor villa and the rooms are very big and nice and clean.  I would definitely go back – but I would most likely avoid Mo – as I prefer my massage guys to be more into playing around once the serious part of the massage is finished.
 
Took a taxi back to the hotel for a nap.  Then later on I headed out to see the famous Pattaya “Walking Street” – the most intense and explicit Walking street that I have seen in ALL of my Thailand journey.
 
 

 
Most of the many touri towns in Thailand have a Walking street.  Pattaya’s is unique in that sex is thrown into your face.  It is very exciting to walk around to see with your own eyes what women can do for entertainment.  There is even Muay Thai boxing matches in public display.  I found myself staring in too much amazement that one of the Muay boxers was yelling at me to come near the boxing ring from off the street – I was too shy – he was SO hot.  I do not know what he wanted but it sure does make for some great mental fantasies when home alone in bed.  I did not see any gay bars or go-go bars for us – as this would have sure been nice to be mixed in the middle of this intense sexual hotbed of activity.  Took some photos of the famous illuminated Pattaya neon sign that reminds me of the Hollywood one in California.
 
I tried to walk to Sunee Plaza from the Walking Street – but in my typical fashion I got lost – even with my smartphone GPS as I found myself in front of a big highway in front of a big hill.  A mocy driver came to my rescue and took me there within 10 minutes. 
 
 

 
Sunee Plaza was SO different then BoyzTown – BoyzTown is loud and lively and full of lights – where I found Sunee quiet and sedate with not that many lights.  It had the look of something fun and exciting left over from the 1970s – with that style of architecture.  I was starving so I ate in a small Thai eatery where I was the only customer – but the husband and wife cooked for me a great PadThai meal.  This place was interesting as it had a bed mattress with a tv in front of it and my table to eat was across from it.  I imagined that this husband and wife most likely slept there once they shut down serving food and closed the place.  Afterwards I walked around Sunee which is MUCH bigger than BoyzTown with many more places – except it was not so busy.  I ended up in the “Nice Boys” go-go boy bar.  
 
 

 
The guys in this place are a bit rough and masculine.  They reminded me of the guys from the Uniman Spa in Bangkok.  They were doing their 2 feet lame shuffle but they were also doing that macho “I am a man” thing with each other trying to push each other down into the sheep position.  It was entertaining.  I asked the mamasaan to ask Tom (22 from Isaan) to come and sit with me.  We had a drink and spoke for a while and I told him that I wanted to go back to the hotel with 2 guys.  At first he got weird and said, “I man” and I replied that “I am also man”.  He gave me a strange look and I said, chuck-wow – then he smiled – ok.  So, I said help me find another man so we can make a chuck-wow party.  He chose Boap – 21 from Chiang Mai.  I bought Boap a drink and then the “boss” of the Nice Boys place walked in with some food and my two boys went crazy for some of it.  Then I remembered what some of you said from this board – so I told the 2 guys – we go and get food before returning to my hotel.  They became real happy.  So, they put on their street clothes and we left after I paid the off-fees (400 each ?) and for the drinks. 
 
We walked back from Sunee Plaza to BoyzTown – it was not that far – once you know where you are going and they stopped in 7-Eleven – I offered something better – but they wanted 7-Eleven and they picked out all kinds of fast food and had them nuked in the microwave and put some toppings on them and started their eating frenzy.  Back at the hotel, I ate 1 little hot dog with them to make them happy – I was not hungry but it was a good bonding experience before we started the chuck-wow party. 
 
They were shy to jerk off in front of each other so I put myself in-between them and I let them jerk me off – alternating of course as it was “too gay” for them to touch my cock at the same time – how hetero of them and I jerked them off.  Tom came first then me and then Boap who had to finish himself off as he needed some straight porn in order for him to reach orgasm.  Everyone satisfied, we took separate showers and then they left after I gave them 1,500 each – I know I spoiled them – but they were SO much fun – as I love to make hetero guys do gay things – it is a big turn on for me. 
 
Sunday 12 January – Went back to the Jotmein – Dongtan beach
 
Every morning breakfast in the great Ambiance hotel restaurant out on the terrace watching the movement of boys leaving the various hotels from their long time offs and watching the massage boys from the Boyz Gym massage place.  Being another nice day in paradise, I decided to go back to Dongtan beach.  This time instead of taking the mocy for 100 baht, I took the Baht bus (‘ rot song taew ') to the beach – just a 5 minute walk to the nearest station on Pattaya Second Road from BoyzTown.  The fare is very reasonable, just 10 baht.
 
Went to the gay beach again and picked a seat in the front row closest to the water.  At first, no open umbrella as the sun was not yet scorching.  Took a nice iced coffee and relaxed and watched the nearby scenery.  Like the other day, many Russian families interspersed with the gays.  Many farang – Thai couples and some singles like me.  Did some swimming and socialized with some of the nearby ex-pat farangs with my incessant questions about what it is like to live in LOS.  Got lots of great ideas and met some people who live in the nearby View Talay Condo complex as they shared with me the interesting hurdles that us farangs must go through to “own” property in Thailand (basically you lease it until you die).  They all seemed happy and did not have many regrets.  Then there was a debate on whether to live the full 12 months in Thailand or to do the back-and-forth trip home (USA or Europe).  Many of them could not stand the hot wet months (March through July) and evacuated Thailand.  Something for me to think about as I had imagined to abandon Europe all together when I would retire to cut expenses.  There is always mom back in New York, but 5 months with mom may make me crazy.  So, I concluded that in the first year(s) I could rent to see where in Thailand I would want to call home.  Perhaps it could be both Pattaya and Chiang Mai – going to Chiang Mai in the more intolerable Pattaya months??
 
Around 16:30 I called it quits and I went to explore the Jomtein Complex hoping to try the Derby massage place that Vinapu wrote about in his trip report.  Unfortunately it was closed and many of the other places were empty.  I stopped at Vinegar (www.swimwearthailand.com/catalog.php) to buy a new pair of swim trunks.  It is a very nice gay store where they make the products right there in the shop.
 
So, I then walked over to the Bamboo Bar (410/35 Thrappraya Rd at Beach Rd Jomtien), small host bar on main road to the beach, afternoon crowd, older guys on offer.  Immediately the owner sent over a “boy” to sit with me and have a drink.  I bought him a drink but he was not my type, as he was too feminine.  We had a nice conversation about what it is like to work there.  I saw some guests going upstairs and he explained to me that short term rooms could be had for some quick fun.  I declined his offer and said that I had to go back to Pattaya.  There were 1 or 2 guys who were my type but I did not know how to meet them as the owner was putting pressure on my boy to stay with me with his eagle stair on the boy.  After my drink and the boys drink I excused myself and got on a Baht bus back to Pattaya – as the main Jomtien Baht bus stop is outside of the Bamboo Bar in the big plaza.  Traffic was a nightmare – so after a while I jumped off the Baht Bus and paid the 10 baht and just walked the rest of the way back to BoyzTown. 
 
Took a nap and then walked over to Pattayaland Soi 1 to eat some good Italian food – Firecat had written about it and I was interested.  Both the food and service was very good.
 
 

 
Went over to check out A-Bomb – but when I opened the door to look inside, there were NO customers.  I did the same at X-Boys and Wild West Boys – and there was not much going on to my liking – it must have been my timing.  It was already 11;30pm.  So, I headed to Boyz, Boyz, Boyz and it was packed and I saw the tail end of the prior show and I waited for the next show to start up.  It was pretty much the same as the first night and the break-dance boys performed again – they are my favorite.  They are VERY hot.  I pushed my assigned bar boy to help me off one and we had to involve the manager for the night and he asked some of them but they ALL said NO.  I had the feeling that they could be offed if they could be separated from each other – it’s that macho thing.  The manager told me that they were “man” and I said, “no problem” – we could chuck-wow.  He suggested that I follow the break-dance gang to Nab and/or Dave where they would make further performances and perhaps at the end of the night they would become offable.  I declined his offer to spend my night chasing them – as I was already too tired.  So, I asked my bar boy if he could push with the manager if the fire eating performer was offable – I had already been declined on the first night and the manager told me that he had to perform in other clubs and if I wanted him that I would have to follow him for the rest of the night. 
 
So I declined and just enjoyed the company around me – there was a girl from Laos sitting with 3 of her girl friends and she wanted to help me choose the guys up on the stage.  Even one hot guy very hetero jumped down from the stage because he wanted to perform privately for the Laos girl.  When she told him that we were shopping for me and not her – he ran back up on the stage.  It was a LOT of fun.  The Laos girl asked me to go dancing with them afterwards – but I declined.  They left and my bar guy tried to get me to off him.  He was very nice but after being rejected by the hip-hop rap dancers and then the fire-eater I was ready to call it a night.  So, went back to my room in The Ambiance and checked out Jack’d and a hot guy from Singapore, Jay, text me to see if I wanted to play with him tomorrow.  I said yes and then I wanked (fantasizing about the rap dancers and this new guy Jay) and then fell sleep.
 
Monday 13 January – Jack’d visitor Jay, walking around Pattaya and last night at Vassa
 
Ate breakfast and at 11am Jay (age 24) who was staying with a friend at the Baan Souy near Jomtien met me in front of the Boyz, Boyz, Boyz go-go bar and I found him hot and we went back to my room to have sex.  We were VERY compatible and we had a great time.  I had to slow down to not make him cum too fast as I am older and it took me a while to catch up to him and then we synchronized for a great intense mutual orgasm. 
 
Unfortunately, Jay was flying back to Singapore later in the late afternoon.  He is ½ Chinese and ½ Malaysian and very sexy.  He hunted me and our meeting was not about $money$ - it was great for my ego.  In Thailand the majority of my encounters have been for $payment$ as I have been lazy to go through all the necessary motions to try to hunt my desired prey.  For me, I like the payment idea because I can order what I want and state before anything happens what I want to do with the guy.  It puts me in control and there is much less rejection.  Hunting in the more traditional way is much harder because of my age and the fact that this way can deteriorate quickly when you start talking about the menu of activities.  Since vacation time is precious, I prefer the payment mode – as it saves time and allows you to get what you want.  However, with Jay – he was a surprise out of the blue and I really clicked with him. 
 
After we finished sex we took a shower and had a nice long walk on the beach road towards North Pattaya.  It was great and very romantic.  Then reality struck and he had to run off to go check out of his hotel and to run off to the airport in Bangkok for his flight back to Singapore.  What is great about Jay, is that we are still in touch via Line – at least 3 to 4 times a week and it is now the first week of February 2014.  Jay is going for his PhD and will soon interview at Yale back in the USA to be accepted into their program.  Either way, he is a 6 hours’ time difference from me, whether he is in Singapore or New Haven, Connecticut.
 
I became sad after Jay left, so I made a BIG walk around Pattaya observing all of the many sights.  Ate dinner later in the evening and decided that my last night in Pattaya should be at Vassa – I wanted to see how Khong was doing to say good-bye to him.  He was there when I walked in and there was a seat in the back of the bar ready for me.  Everyone was SO happy to see me – especially Khong – I asked the happy mamasaan to bring Khong down from the stage to sit with me and we immediately got affectionate.  There were not many customers so the other boys immediately came and sat with us and right away I had my 3rd Anonone moment and I bought everyone a drink and the famous bottle of whiskey and ice and coke.  They started playing “Rock, Paper, Scissors” and dancing and being crazy.  It was a LOT of fun and a great way to end my 25 days in Thailand. 
 
I was less weird this time in Vassa – however, I noticed that there was one very emaciated boy on the stage who was constantly shaking.  I told the mamasaan to get him off the stage and to put a towel on him and to get him some food.  They did all of this – of course I paid – and in this way I was more tranquil as I did not see anyone suffering.  I could see that it was a VERY slow night so I gave the mamasaan 1,200 baht and told her to separate it into 100 baht each and to make sure that everyone got 100 baht each – even the barker outside and the boy shaking under the towel.
 
I offed Khong for a long-off and promised the mamasaan that Khong would be back freed by me at 19:30 the next evening as that was when the taxi-van would come to bring me on the dreaded trip back to the BKK airport.  I was watching the news everyday and for very selfish reasons I was secretly hoping that the protesters would close the airport – but it did not happen – so I had to come back down to reality.
 
Once out of Vassa, I asked Khong if we could take a nice romantic walk on the Beach Road along the seaside.  Of course he did not understand me – as he speaks almost 0 English – but I pulled his hand towards the beach and we walked along the water.  Unfortunately, I wanted us to sit down – but there were too many rats climbing down from the trees and scurrying along the sand looking for food.  So we moved off of the beach, as the rats ruined the romantic moment that I had in my head, and we walked along the Beach Road – but then the Lady Boys started getting aggressive with us and other potential customers nearby.  So again, that romantic moment was ruined – so back to the hotel where we made some very passionate sex.  This time I was VERY happy to sleep with Khong – because now I knew him and I knew that I would be able to sleep.  We cuddled all the night and it was a great sleep. 
 
Tuesday 14 January – Last day in Pattaya, Jomtien-Dongtan beach, trip back to the BKK airport
 
Woke up in the morning happy to see Khong next to me.  I rumbled for an extra pair of swim trunks and I packed the backpack so after breakfast we could have a nice day at the Jomtien-Dongtan beach.  We took 2 different mocys (no Baht Bus as this was my last day and I wanted to maximize it with quality time) and we met back at the beginning of the walkway to Dongtan.  We went to the gay beach where the bar guys made a BIG fuss over us – as if we just got married – and put us in the 2nd to front row (Thais/Laos boys don’t like too much sun) with Khong’s umbrella up and mine down.  Then we ordered our drinks and had our first swim together.  It was great.  Soon after Khong feel asleep and I took photos of my sleeping angel and went swimming while my 27 year old baby slept. 
 
The Russians were funny when we came out of the water later in the afternoon as we were being quite romantic.  Who cares I thought – this is my last day in paradise and this is the gay beach.
At the end of the afternoon I took Khong for the walk on the romantic sidewalk towards the end-point towards Pattaya and made him understand that I want to live in one of those lovely condos one day.  Not sure if he understood but he was happy.
 
Two mocys back to The Ambiance for our last shower together and last hours together.   We made love again, for the last time and we cried knowing the end was near.  At 7pm, we transferred the luggage downstairs to The Ambiance bar street-side terrace and for the last 30 minutes we cried like 2 lovers.  I think the entire BoyzTown street knew – because when the taxi-van arrived I loaded the luggage and Khong kissed me and ran down the Soi and with a look of horror turned around to make his last look back at me in the taxi-van and I cried from Pattaya all the way to the BKK airport.  It was so ugly and I did not want to remember his face like that.
 
Taxi-van time was 1.5 hours from Pattaya back to the Suvarnabhumi Airport.  There was NO traffic and no protesters to be seen.  So, by 9pm I was in the airport ready for my 0:01 flight back to Rome.  The airport was packed but I had plenty of time to check-in, clear security and immigration and to have a dinner and to buy a box of tissues for the 11 hour flight back to Rome.
 
This concludes my wonderful 25 day trip in Thailand.  I hope that it was not too boring of a read – but it felt so good to put all of these experiences and thoughts down in this blog.  My hope is that some of my great experiences can also become yours – especially those who are new to this blog board.
 
Post-factum – I can say that I am in regular contact via Line (the Asian answer to our Whatsapp) with both Jay and Khong.  Khong has mentioned to me that he has left Vassa and is returning to his mother in Laos.  But he told me that he will come back to Thailand to find some work in the future.  So, maybe you will see him at Vassa one day.  Treat him well – as he is a wonderful young man.
 

 
 

This is the Sukhothai portion of my trip report.  I will try to post the Kanchanaburi portion tomorrow.
 
So, after the exciting zipline adventure, we head back to Chiang Mai to search for a hotel for the evening, and we find the Chiang Mai Gate Hotel, www.chiangmaigatehotel.com
which is a normal hotel, but Woody and Non were chomping at the bid to have a hotel that offered an all you can eat breakfast, so I conceded in letting us leave the Qi 68 guest house, which did not offer breakfast but was cute and charming to transfer to a mainstream normal generic hotel. 
 
Woody, warns me in his endearing protective way, “No Go-Go bars tonight – we must get up early at 7:00am we have big drive to Sukhothai”.  So, it was an early night – no hanky pank – as we needed to conserve our energy for tomorrow’s journey and eventual sightseeing.
 
Woody and. Non were illuminated as they plowed through the “All You Can Eat” breakfast buffet.  It was good, but I much preferred “Butter is Better”   http://www.butterisbetterbakery.com/
 
It’s now 10:00 am and we are finally off for Sukhothai.  The guys tell me it’s a 4 hour drive but it ended up taking us 5 hours because of time taken to enjoy the rest areas (no – not for cruising hahaha…).  I was quite impressed with Thailand rest areas as they are very different than the ones we have here on the Italian Autostrada.  Here in Italy, they usually consist of 2 buildings – one for eating, usually called CIAO or AutoGrill and the other is for petrol.  Instead here in Thailand it is a rather large complex with the ubiquitous 7-Eleven, Café Amazon, KFC, S&P, etc.  So, the main difference is choice while in Italy there is no choice.  Just an observation.  Consequently our 4 hours became 5 hours because I just had to have my wonderful Café Amazon iced coffee at each service area.  My 2 tour guys are beautiful and very much in shape I just hope that my falang ways do not fatten them up.
 

 
The drive from Chiang Mai to Sukhothai was kind of boring.  I found the transformation of the terrain from greenish to arid is what made it less interesting.  You could definitely see that the current drought is having a negative impact on many parts of Thailand.  In addition, Sukhothai was much more hotter and humid than Chiang Mai.
 
We arrive in Sukhothai and start the search for a hotel.  First we checked out the Pailyn Hotel, a huge hotel which has seen better days and looked tired.  Then we found the gem that we all liked called the Sukhothai Treasure Resort & Spa  http://www.sukhothaitreasure.com/  once we saw the rooms, pools, and breakfast area – we immediately accepted a suite here as it is absolutely a lovely resort.
 

 
So checked in and unpacked we then head off to MK for a bite to eat and to wait for Woody’s and Non’s friend, Wit to join us for a late lunch before heading over to the UNESCO World Heritage Site at the Sukhothai Historical Park.  Woody met Wit some years back when he worked at the Classic House in Chiang Mai, www.classichousemassage.net/ as a masseur.  Now he lives in rural Sukhothai to take care of his ailing mother and sorely misses the gay life back in the metropolis of Chiang Mai and he made us understand that he cannot wait to return.  Wit would be our local tour guide during our sojourn here.
 

 
Why visit this Sukhothai ?
First of all, Sukhothai translates into the “Dawn of Happiness.” Secondly, if you are a history buff and want to learn about Thai culture it is an interesting place to visit because from 1238 until 1438 Sukhothai was the first capital of Siam (then followed by Ayutthaya, Thonburi and Bangkok). The most famous and influential one of its nine kings was King Ramkhamhaeng, the second son of the founder of the state (reign from 1275-1317). He significantly expanded the Siamese empire through his military victories to a territory even bigger than modern Thailand, developed the first Thai script (Siamese alphabet that we all know and love to decipher), imposed strict observance to the Buddhist religion and founded a military and social organization which was soon copied by the Khmers. The Sukhothai Kingdom, consisted of a long arc of territory that ran through what is today's Laos and western Thailand as far as the Malay states.
 
In addition, since I live in Rome, which is home to the “Fori Imperiali”, Rome’s ancient beginnings, I wanted to see the contrast with Thailand’s ancient past, and I can say that it is quite impressive.
Some pictures – I limited them to just a couple….

And then my most favorite part of this wonderful UNESCO heritage site is the giant standing Buddha at Wat Si Chum.
 

 
Legend has it that this giant Buddha statue was able to ward off its enemies by being able to talk and to scare them away from harming it – as is what unfortunately happened to many of the other monuments in the park.
 
It was hotter than hell in the park and SO humid as it had just finished raining before we arrived.  The famous lotus pond that you see in many tourist pictures near the monuments was all dried up due to the drought.
 
After our visit, Wit took us to his favorite Wat in New Sukhothai, Phra Mae Ya Shrine, which is right across the street from the Yom river in front of City Hall on Thanon Nikhon Kasem street, which cuts through downtown.  I asked Wit, why it was his favorite and he explained the following to me:
The shrine is highly respected by Sukhothai residents. It’s home to the idol of Phra Mae Ya, a stone figure with a long face, tapered chin, long halo, and dressed as an ancient queen. The idol is about 1 meter high and is supposed to have been built during King Ramkhamhaeng the Great’s reign as a dedication to his late mother Nang Sueang. The name provides the connections in the word Phra Mae Ya or grandmother in Thai, which is literally a term of endearment, since the local people regarded King Ramkhamhaeng the Great as their fathers. The statue was formerly housed in a rock shelter of Phra Mae Ya Mountain. The Sukhothai residents later relocated it to its present shrine situated in front of the City Hall. The shrine is also believed to house the spirit of King Ramkhamhaeng the Great. The Phra Mae Ya Fair is held annually in late February.
 
Of course, now it was time for the usual Buddhist prayer and the shaking of the fortune sticks and I could not miss this photo op.

So, what else is there to do in Sukhothai?  Wit exclaims, “cruising!!”  Since we were already at the riverfront and there was no flooding due to the drought (we need to remember that back in September 2014 and also in September 2012 the Yom river overran its river banks and flooded downtown), we were safe to proceed to a little gym and Thai boxing workout center that overlooks the Yom river.  Wit made us understand that many of the hot guys that we saw working out may join you if you sit down along the river bank – there is a steep drop off from the square where they are so you are somewhat secluded.  Wit said, you just sit and wait and perhaps one of the guys will come over and say hello.  We only looked for a little while and then we headed off to dinner.  So, if any of you out there reading this – check it out – here is a little google map…enjoy
 

 
Wit then took us to an excellent restaurant, I cannot remember its name – but the food was the highlight of my entire vacation.  Of course it was a Thai restaurant, and my 3 guides ordered for me – so I have no idea what I ate but it was great.  One dish was based on coconut, as I go crazy for coconut.  Another dish was chicken based and another 2 dishes were with vegetables.  I am soliciting the name of this great restaurant and once I get it I will post it here.
After dinner we return to the cruising place on the river and there was definitely more movement, as it was now dark while before I was not yet a complete sunset.  Then we part our ways, as we return Wit to his motorbike at the MK restaurant and then we return to our wonderful hotel to have a well deserved swim in that wonderful swimming pool.  There were many sexy pictures that we took in that pool, but to date I have not yet been successful in getting them off of Non’s phone.  Had they been on Woody’s phone, I would have been able to post them here.  If I ever get my greedy hands on them in the future I will post them here.
 
Back to the room for a well-deserved 4 hand massage with all of the usual final glory fun and then off to la-la land sleeping away until the next morning.
 
Enjoyed the great all you can eat breakfast buffet – the guys were SO happy and then checked out and off for our very long 6 hour drive to Kanchanaburi – which will be the next segment of this trip report.
 
Ciao,
M.
 

2 weeks ago I got bored and stressed out at work and decided to go to Thailand to find release. This is my 5th time to Thailand since 2013 and my 2nd this year. Expecting no judgement, i'm basically by definition a sex tourist (i hope that does not make me a bad person)
 
So I booked a ticket with Scoot to fly to Bangkok and an Air Asia ticket to Chiang Mai. I could have just bought the Direct to Chiang Mai flight but I must say that in my opinion, although gay bars in BKK are a bit expensive (bar fines, drinks) the choices of boys sre many.
 
So I arrived in BKK via Don Muang airport around 6:15pm, and being a semi expert in BKK I know that taxi won't take me anywhere due to traffic. Airport taxis are also expensive charging 700-900 for a downtown trip. (Thats already more than the bar fine) So the best choice for me is to take the bus to go to Mo Chit Station. i paid 30 baht for the trip. It's just outside the arrival exit. You can ask the information counter for the exact location.
 
Once in Mo Chit station then take the train all the way to Sa La Daeng via Siam Interchange. Having no coins of 45 baht , i cant buy a ticket and the queue at the counter is very long. And the shops around dont change coins. i decided to pull out 50 baht and bought water which is 20 baht. The fare was 45 baht. So clearly the change was not enough. But its okay, i bought the 15 baht fare and got a card to go inside the train station and Once i reached sa la daeng i just went direct to the customer service and "complained" that i cant go out and then they just topped asked me to pay the balance. Saved me +45 mins of waiting time.
 
Not advertising but everytime i'm in BKK i stay at Tarntawan place. The place feels like home, very welcoming staff. No judgemental look at all.
 
Without wasting time i took a quick shower and head off to the Soi Twilight. Went for 1 drink at Maxis while looking at passersby. After the drink I head off to dream boys (>30 boys present) and found good range of boys which i like (not more than 25,bottom, slim, and not effem) but it was only in Fresh Boy that i saw someone i liked, his name is Long and literally it was. More than 8 inches and the diameter was like 3 inches. It barely fits my mouth! Took him to my place and we had a great night. I flew to Chiang Mai the following day.
 
I'm currently in Chiang Mai now and will give updates once i'm in BKK.
 
Sidenote:
I'm really not a good story teller compared to all of you guys, but i can answer questions if you have one, and i'm very open to suggestions on where to go. I'm a 28 yo by the way
 
Schedule:
24 bkk
25 Cnx
26 Cnx
27 Bkk
28 bkk/fly to sin

Unless something has changed the chance of you finding an exciting vibrant gay life in either of those countries is ZERO.
 
You will find some massage parlors, gay bars etc but hoping you will find anything that compares in any way to Thailand is a pipe dream.
 
Boys can be found on Gayromeo , Jack'd, Hornet, Grindr etc but there is no way you will find something like Soi Twilight, Sunee Plaza in Pattaya or BT.
 
Not to deter you from visiting because those countries offer some wonderful things but an Exciting  Gay Vibrant Life is not one of them.

I wonder of how much truth is in that. My guess would be that this is impression of farangs spending too much time in Sunee Plaza.
 
Since I share the bkkmfj's taste I must say I never  feel somehow singled out when visiting bars or massages.
 
I'm not disputing you may be correct  but I find words "a-typical"  and "immensely" misplaced in the context.
 
What I agree with is that skinny twinks admirers are much more vocal on the forums thus creating an impression of being immense and typical majority.  

I'm glad bkkmfj  you finally made it to LOS after 18 months hiatus.
 
Can't wait for next installment of your report, your writing style is great and details are all in the right places.
Somebody can use report  as a real guide to CM places.
 
Boys are gorgeus and I'm sure you had a fun with them.
 
Noted 6 hands massage impression, you were one to recommend me 4 hands and I'm glad I took your word for it and if you say 6 hands is too much which confirms my suspicion, I'll skip  trying it.
 
Don't worry about abidismaili comments - by far you are not alone in your taste in Thai guys, rest assured even on this forum they are guys who'd gladly discuss world peace with your guides.

It's why I always cherish an opportunity to do bars or massage tour with  other members of the forum.
 
Fun comparing observation and eye opener to what other people like, don't like and pay attention to.
 
My quasi boyfriend from May trip was assessed  as  too fat by one  member and  ax-murderer faced by another one, I can't ask for more LOL
 
On another hand when few contributors advised me that I will not find much of interest in Sunee Plaza offerings other than Good Boys it turned out to be spot on.
And then anonone says above that he did not even made to Boyztown.
 
I think it's great that we have diversity , keeps all guys fed, small and big

are you prophet or something?

nothing is wasted as others may be looking for the same information and it's already ready for them.
