The above quote is from your opening post, but now that you have made your intentions clearer, perhaps some of us can give you more specific advice.
As Vinapu said in his first reply, your best venue is Tawan Bar. They generally have several bodybuilder types though it depends also on whether it is competition season or not. If you're also interested in guys who are fit and gymmed but not bodybuilder type, then Jupiter bar might serve your needs too.
From a gogo bar like Tawan and Jupiter, you can call any guy you fancy to come sit with you and you buy him a drink. He will engage in small talk with you (may depend on his language skills) and eventually, if you wish, you can ask him whether he will go back to your hotel room with you.
You need to be clear whether you want "short time" or "long time". Short time is usually 60-90 minutes. Long time means he stays/sleeps till morning. The boy will tell you how much he wants for ST and LT. some boys do not do LT.
You don't have to say in any great detail what you want to do within that time since your intentions are not very demanding. (If you want to top him or you are hoping for bondage, etc, then you SHOULD get his agreement beforehand.)
The boy may be a bit surprised if, in the hotel room, you don't really want to proceed all the way to sex, but he is not going to insist. Remember, these guys have seen many different types of clients.
Do not expect or even ask for a discount just because you don't intend to proceed to sex. You're paying for his time.
Vinapu also mentioned 3 massage places with bigger boys. They are "bigger" by Asian standards, not by European standards. Very few bodybuilder types. On some days, none.
I am not sure how they will respond in a massage place if you're only interested in body worship (I won't even call it muscle worship), because in a massage place, they have a certain protocol to perform a massage. If you don't want a massage, they may be confused. If you do want a massage, then that's well and fine.
The massage shop will usually tell you what the shop's price is and what the expected tip for your chosen boy is. Don't be afraid to ask.
Hope above helps.

When I returned from my ‘reward’ trip in beginning of June I did not have any idea when next trip may be. In summer I was planning to see my sister  living in another country. Family politics though created some free time before I went to see her and I decided to utilize it for yet another trip this year.
 Main motivation was that two of my forum friends , further referred as MJ and MK were planning to be there in BKK at the same time and then , as reinforcement,  another one,  MA, announced he will be arriving few days after me.
 Secondary motivation was they I never been in Thailand in July and now after returning from that trip I have only March and April to cover.  
Since it was trip within previously arranged trip there were some potential connection problems i.e . my ticket was non-refundable and I had only 3 hours to make connection in Berlin but all went according to the plan.
Last trip I was complaining about yakking neighbors, this time it was my turn as I had two seat companions, , elderly Swede and young, handsome like hell,  half-Thai and half-French, both talkative so I must say flight went very fast, not that we were talking all the time.
Arrived at noon, small jubilee as it was 30th landing in Thialand . I smartly decided to utilize luggage waiting time to buy SIM card and it was bright idea as my suitcase popped out exactly in moment I approached conveyor belt. In 1 hour from landing I was already  in the train reporting to reader, MJ and MK that all went well and I’m in Bangkok indeed.
I like to change hotels every 2 -3 nights but this time I decided to settle in 9-4 configuration and my hotel for first 9 night was Quarter SalaDaeng, former Siri Sathorn. About 10 minutes walk from Sala Daeng BTS. Room was impressive , rather like small apartment with separate living room , kitchen and bedroom areas and with quite opulent buffet breakfast included.
Very good value for money although not all was rosy. As it turned later walls were paper thin and at night I/we ( in Thailand I rarely sleep alone out of fear of ghosts) could hear very well what is going on on other side. Also to get hot water some time  was required before it started lowing. MK who stay in the same hotel  did not have such problem though.
 Day 1
 Soon after I tidy myself over after long trek MK knocked to my door , it was our first meeting since pre-covid. It was nice to see old friend after such long break. Next  was walk to XOne on Suriwong  to exchange some money and I found rate quite good, nice surprise.
 Straight from there to Coffee Grinder for meeting with reader. I managed to catch him day before his return home so we had good time exchanging latest news while ogling cute waiters in the process.
 At 8.30 three of us , MJ who is staying nearby , MK and me went to G’Bangkok for dinner. Mid week and low season- both were evident as place was quite empty.
Since we were in soi 4 already next step was kind of obvious-Jupiter. Not very busy as well so we got very good seats . There were 4 walkabouts by their boys, first in briefs , second in boxers, last two in jeans but with numbers. Most boys sported those so not many were offed or reserved, another sign of low season. We stay till end of show and then I decided to start improving economy , called muscular and hairless Vietnamese named Tam.
 As always I asked about long time but we couldn’t come to terms about compensation so we settled on hot and steamy, very pleasant although bit rushed in true Jupiter form , short time. I liked him very much  and would gladly employ him few more  times but since his request was above what I’m was prepared to fork out it was our last meeting this trip even if he tried to extract subsequent offs by messaging me daily.  I stay firm declining  those advances. Next time ,next trip ,  yes.  
Day 2
 After long trip and steamy meeting I slept very well, like a stone. MJ joined me for a breakfast as his place is not offering it  and I have one for two anyways. As always we exchanged news  and impressions and decided to go to Jey Spa for 2 pm. We went by Grab, I booked the same guy I had few times previously- Maii . He remembered me and remembered what I like. Who cares about massage ? Great session , great guy, great place with great selection.
 In the afternoon a bit of jet lag so I collapsed on the bed for few hours.
 At 8.30 again our trio MJ,  MK and me went to G’Bangkok for dinner warmly greeted by the boss himself (he was absent yesterday) who was surprised to see me again after only few weeks.
Restaurant was busy for a change.
 Next we opted for Moonlight tonight. Not very busy,  again low season. Neither A nor Y, my favorites from there were present but I noticed new , very cute boy. Mamasan told me he is Cambodian who started just today. So I rushed with 100 note toward him for a good start but asked mamasan to call Y and ask if he wants to go with me.
 Description of customer was somewhat not clear because Y asked to see my picture and only when mamasan sent it  to him he said is rushing immediately. When he mention shower I told him not to bother he can take in my room. Soon he came , all smiles. Not long after we were walking home.
 Offer of dinner declined but as soon as we entered room he asked for few minutes so he can go and buy something to eat. I noticed certain patter here as it was not first time. Either he doesn’t want to be seen with farang in restaurant or,  much more likely he doesn’t want me to spent too much money on his food.
It did not take much time for him to return so we could start discussing recent elections of village councils in Burkina Faso and Eswatini ( former Swaziland). Not sure people on other side of wall could hear us but for sure we could hear them , more or less discussing the same elections but in guy/ girl configuration.
Y is great guy who knows how to keep me smiling, that was my last thought before falling asleep.
 

I trained some of them well it seems

Day 3    
 In the morning MJ joined Y and me  breakfast and after breakfast I got bit amorous so asked Y to return to the room for a little bit more electoral discussions.  1 hour, 1 thousand , pure pleasure.
 Today I’m planning to see latest Indiana Jones movie, MK expressed  an interest in that as well and so did Y as soon as I mentioned about such an opportunity. When Y left I went to Sam Yan Mitrtown to buy a tickets which turned out not necessary to do in advance as cinema was hardly crowded.
In early afternoon MK and me walked there all the way from hotel. Y appeared at the same time, so much about boys not able to keep appointed time .
As for movie itself I liked it, 2 hours action non stop although story itself bit too sophisticated for my liking but I won’t say more not to spoil it for those who did not have a chance to see movie yet.
 I asked  Y if he will be interested in repeating last night which made him visibly happy, which in turn boosted my ego exponentially and I had sweetener for that deal too. MJ and his friend are planning seafood buffet dinner atop of Baiyoke Sky tonight, MJ asked me to join in as I know his friend and I in turn asked Y if he would be interested to attend. He smiled even more broadly thinking probably   “that old fool is spoiling me today big time”.
He arrived at hotel on the dot and at 6.30 pm our trio took taxi to Baiyoke where MJ’s friend was waiting for us already at the entrance. Great time was had by all, food and conversation were excellent although I couldn’t utilize food in full tending to be bit allergic to the seafood. After dinner we went to moving platform on the top to admire Bangkok by night   and take some pictures.
Great evening and great company. Upon returning to hotel we did not waste much time to return to our  discussions, this time about subway plans for Asuncion , Paraguay and Maputo, Mozambique.
Day 4
started soon after midnight. Somebody threw party and with walls paper thin it was noisy to a point of nuisance. I’m actually surprised that hotel management did not intervened as it could be certainly
heard on reception. Since I had such company I was not that much interested in sleeping so we carried on. When they stopped it was already dawning so we got some sleep in the morning.
Over breakfast  conversation came to subject of Mahanakhon. Not sure who started it but it turned that Y never was there so I suggested we go today. Pilgrimage to that glass at 314 meters above the ground is my must do every trip. Y went home to change clothes and when we met at the tower 1.5 hr. later  all I could say was ‘wow’ . Certainly he dressed for occasion. Yes, I saw  few heads turning , both in lobby and at the top.
 Neither  hysterics nor excessive sweating  on the glass which can’t be said about every boy I invited there and I invited quite a few over years. I suggested we have a drink and was surprised that after carefully studying price list he asked for coffee, cheapest  item. That guy is  a gem. Not that I did not know before.
Word of advice for those entertaining idea of taking boy there. Since that’s quite expensive foray please make sure that guy you are inviting there is really interested in going and not doing that just to make you happy. I had few guys who did not enjoy the heights and even one who said afterwards that he would prefer to receive half  admission fee ( 880 baht )  in cash instead.
 Anyways Y was happy and so was I.
 After quite intensive 2 days in his company I told him he will be free tonight as I had other plans but promised to see him again. We do have chemistry , that’s good news.
 I returned to hotel to have a rest after sleepless night. In the afternoon  I went to soi 6 where N, the masseur was surprised to see me . Of course we had massage session which turned more romantic than therapeutic.
 For dinner I suggested to MK  Madrid Tavern to which he agreed and we went there by BTS and walked from Saphan Taksn Station. Lady’s reaction there was funny “ you still here, you told me last time  you going home ?” so I explained that in fact I left and I’m back again. Not sure she was convicted though. Anyways pizza was great as always.
We returned to Silom  by bus and resolved to visit Tawan tonight as both MK and me are fond of their offerings.
So hour or two later with pockets full I went there , MK was already in. as always I was mobbed by boys but used MK presence claiming he is my boyfriend and won’t be offing anybody tonight which eased a bit of tip requests. I was hoping S will be there and he was indeed so I secured him for long time tonight but we soldiered on in the bar till midnight when bar started emptying.
Again it was no problem walking there, S modestly asked for some food on the street. Tonight my floor was quiet , no party , no noises so it felt like just S and me. He knows what I like and I know what he likes (over market tips ) so again great chemistry.
 
 

Day 5
 Quite active morning which is what I like. What I didn’t like but at least expected it was his tip request. As I said yesterday, he likes his tips over market , at least from me , lol. But since I always say I rather overpay and be happy than save money and be just Ok. So I succumbed to his bit inflated request (1000 more than I gave him initially). At least he worked for it, sand bag he is not, that’s  sure.   
MJ joined us for breakfast, we resolved to go to MBK for Japanese dinner later on and parted ways.
I took haircut on Silom and then went to new Foodland just opened in the basement of Silom Park. Menu in restaurant the same like in sisterly Foodland Patpong. In the store several good deals of 2 for 1 type , unfortunately not on items which interested me.
 Then to Coffee Grinder to met newly arrived this morning another member MA. It was a while since we met last time so a lot news to share, very esthetic  task considering is sweetened by ogling their  cute waiters. We agreed on Hot Male visit tonight.
At 4 pm MJ and me were supposed to meet S on Sala Daeng platform but somehow S mixed it up and went to MBK . After ½ hr, of waiting we decided to cut our loses and went to Foodland Patpong instead, instructing S who called me in meantime to show there if he wants. He did so we had opulent 7 stars dinner together.
After that MJ went his way and S suggested he will walk me to hotel but on our way we can drop at Silom Center as Central there has original Lee  jeans on sale. Nice scheming and abuse of my soft spot for him but I tagged along. Indeed they were discounted to 1250 a piece and S wasted no time to point deal is valid on purchase of three pairs only.
Ok I sighted but you will come to my room to try them afterward. Idea was accepted enthusiastically. Not only in the mall but also in the room so We had quite funny yet steamy short time session. Not that short by the way I’d say 1 hr. per pair.
Not only tip free but visually strong as he looked in those jeans very well and with bleeding heart I was  helping him to remove each pair, one after another.
But when asked about repeat of last night I was rude enough to say I have cheaper option. He still left happy though.
 Around 9 pm  20 baht motosai to Silom and short walk to Hot Male. While crossing Silom walking I noticed familiar face. It took me few seconds to connect the dots . Arthur, porn actor featuring in “Beautiful Flower “ from GThai series among others. Smiled at him and got smile back when he marched past me. Stars smiling at  me tonight thought I .
 At Hot Male  MA and me had few drinks with boys in beer bar and then went for show upstairs.
I was hoping  certain SK will be there  but he was not but mamasan offered to call him .  By time show was over he arrived recognizing me immediately. So after all I did not lie to S that I have cheaper option tonight. Cheaper  and sweet, time tested companion who never asked for anything other than to be offed again.
 

Day 17 , continued
  About 1 hr later ST Lined me he is about to arrive so I went down to the street level to see him arriving in style on motorsai smiling broadly. We decided to eat something , across the soi from hotel is small Thai eatery serving simple but tasty and cheap dishes so we feasted there for 160 for two oft drinks included.
 Then to the room where I made sure I was compensated for empty night and what is even more important ST made it even more sure I was happy. At one point when I complemented his built with sinister motive to allow me to take picture ( no I will not post it here nor will send it by PM ) of his well attended to body he said something I never heard before from guy  “ I take care about my body so you can enjoy it” , wow ! I enjoyed it indeed, more than expected . It was really great 3 hours.
It did not come cheap but it was worth  every penny I gave him and  what I spent on him bit later. His shoes were quite worn off. Not sure it was staged or really he did not have anything better but when he noticed I noticed their shabby state he asked if I can buy him new pair. What a smart guy ! But as my godmother used to say “it’s better to lose something with smart than find something with stupid”.
So plot or not , I agreed although placed silent limit of 2000 on such largesse.  We went to Silom Center as I told him my time is limited and in Central there were sport shoes on sale. After trying few pairs he settled on some Adidases  for 2160, I told him I can give only 2000 , he agreed to fork out that 160 extra which of course I reimbursed  him back as we were leaving mall. So I spend quite a bit on two session with ST  but on this trip I had few excellent encounters and both with him were ones I suspect I will remember well still in few years.
 Happy but still smarting after that failed night I had one more shining star in mind. But first things first, I returned to the room and packed as much as I could before returning to boy hunting. Since today is Thursday , schnitzel special at G’Bangkok it’s where I went. Lined reader about my plans and he  joined me on that Thailand’s last supper.
Both Banana’s barkers welcomed me enthusiastically as always so I practiced my vinapu tuck on them shamelessly in front of their bar, told them I’m leaving tonight and one who I have some hots for whispered  me something which makes me wanting to return to Thailand  before end of this century or even this year , if only to check if it’s true.
Then reader went his way and I marched to Hot Male hoping S will be there. He heard my voice talking to P the host and appeared in bar’s door .Action was fast, let’s go. I told him, 2 hrs only so no dinner but bough him something  to eat at 7/11 and he made sure  my last session of this sudden , unexpected and unplanned trip was as great as all our previous meetings.
2000 baht later he left , I finished packing , freshen up for long trip home only to see it time to go because both shaving cream and tooth paste jut run out.
 At 11.30 I was on the street and taxi just showed up around the corner. 500 no meter he said. No , meter is 300 so I give you 400 said I . No,  450   said he. No 400 I insisted , Ok, ok said him and in few seconds I was on my way. At the Swampy I gave him that 450, still happy with such fruitful day.
 All went smooth and at 2.30 we rolled out of gate as scheduled
 I was wailing over wasted last night but I wondered if it was actually good idea to have  good night sleep before such long trek. I almost never sleep on the plane  but this time I did, at least 4 continuous hours out of 7 to Doha and probably it would be longer if they did not wake me up for breakfast which I did not want to eat anyways.
Three hours there was enough to survey airport which I liked a lot , specially that park in the middle of terminal.
 


On second leg I also slept few hours so when finally after 30 hours and 55 minutes from closing door at hotel I opened my own,  I was surprisingly fresh. Enough that I made post-trip laundry before retiring to own bed.
Summary tomorrow and then I shut up

Day 12
Very pleasant night but lacking fireworks and excessive sweat. This is what happened when both boy and I know each other well from multiple offs in the past. Novelty value is rubbing off a bit but on another hand there’s confidence that all will go well and no nasty surprises like 4 am request ‘ can I go home now, my motorsai parked wrong place ?”.
Leisurely morning but we made it for breakfast. And I ate plenty to make up for hasty breakfast yesterday.
 Since check out time is 11 I packed my goodies, checked out , took tuk-tuk to my next dig , Le Siam on Convent one of my holy quadruple of hotels in Siam area I like to stay, Raya, Baan Silom and Furama Sathorn being other three.
Room was already available which was good news as I could Line ST whose butt so impressed me yesterday in Tawan to show up at 2. Our agreement made earlier was I let him know when. That was whole hell of short time I must say. Not only he did his best to make sure I’m happy but also told me a lot about his life and passions and let me tell you , those were not boring stories. How stories by the naked hunk can even get boring?.
 No way this could be only short time so I suggested an extension of time  , he suggested   extension of tip and thus it was longest short time I ever had at 6 hrs. No way that after such time two men won’t get hungry and he suggested shabu at MBK. Not being fan of Japanese food I did not even know what shabu is but decided to try. Modestly he suggested we go by BTS.
It was all you can eat  for 499 and certainly food they had was great for bodybuilder , all lean meat no fattening pastas etc. For me it was tastier than expected although as I say, not my type of food. Certainly at home the same would cost me 3 times more.  Walking back to the station he spotted sales in sport store eyeing some brand name exercise  shorts reduced 70%. In my eyes even reduced price was twice too much (520 ) but what do I know?
 So I said yes  but you should try first. So we crowded  into one booth for measurement and short moment of innocent fun. I gave him money there so he could pay himself , just a bit face saving exercise.
What surprised me was how happy he was . Casually throwing 100 or 200 we forget that for a lot of those guys 500 is princely sum, specially to be spent on non-essentials like that so we returned to Silom  both happy, he with his acquisition and me seeing him happy.
Today is religious holiday so no alcohol sales. Having a bit of time  I made tour of the area to see if bars are opened as theoretically they could as long as no alcohol was offered but it looked all bars decided to close , my guess was to avoid pesky boys in brown with palms outstretched.
  In soi 4 only Adam massage and G’Bangkok were opened , everything else was in dark. Very few diners at G'Bangkok though. The same in Patpong , all closed , Moonlight the same and so was Tawan but Dum who is also  motorsai driver was on his post on the corner so I gave him 100 baht to buy himself some meal.
I was timing myself as my post-birthday festivities were not completed. I made sure at 10pm I’m in my room as I was expecting Y and indeed at 10 on the dot my phone chimed, it was Line message “I’m downstairs “ so I went to pick him up . But he was bit hungry so gave him 100 to buy something-on Convent there’s always some street food available. Soon after he showed up with some dish, gave me even change from that 100 and up we went for another super session today.
 Two guys today , both trying their best to make sure I’m happy. It did not come cheap but I like money well spent better than  cheap price tags and that was a case on that fabulous holiday day.
 

INTRODUCTION
That was nasty surprise. One evening I felt something between discomfort and light pain. By the morning it was something under my skin which was mildly painful  and could be easily felt as it was size of , say 10 baht coin.
 In the following days it did not grew but mild pain, sometimes just discomfort persisted. Of course in such case we assume the worst and so did I, specially that survived that long without hospitals and treatments. Then there were some obstacles like my workload and my doctor on vacations. Anyways after 4 weeks of kind of terror, more mental than physical though,  I got  tested. It was Wednesday. On Thursday at precisely 2.14 p.m. phone rung. It was not marketer, it was my doctor. “ Don’t worry , it’s just a cyst and eventually it will be absorbed. Nothing to worry about “ . Thank you doctor, you saved my life again said I.
 Now, May is my traditional vacation month for two reasons, I’m tired with work and my wallet is packed. But this year for reasons not related to me nor Thailand  May vacation were not in the cards.
Doctor’s phone changed all that. I said he called at 2.14 p.m. By time I went to bed around 11.30 pm. I had already booked tickets to Bangkok for 6.30pm on Sunday and from there to Kuala Lumpur and back plus all hotels in Bangkok, KL and Pattaya. 72 hours and I was on the road.
 This was my reward I granted myself on account of good news. I loved it as my best vacations were always on the whim and not planned but with 72 hrs. I was even impressed with myself .
 Not particularly cheap, in fact my most expensive Thai trip ticket ever and not fast with 2 connections but who cares?. I got clean bill of health  and on the road again. What else I may want ?  
When waked up Sunday morning , day of my departure I noticed very strange thing. Usually in such circumstances I should be dreaming about some naked hunk beside me with my hand on his thing but instead first thing which came to my mind was pizza at Madrid Tavern and schnitzel at Gbangkok.  OMG I thought, is that it, am I losing it or what ? In January after Cambodian fiasco I was afraid I may turn lesbian but food lover? Me?
 It was my first flight through Middle East connection , namely Qatar. I had expectancies based on what I read on the forum and heard from others. I found airline agreeable, service was good although seemed bit disorganized. Food kind of  so, so,  but would be treat for salt lovers. In short not as great as some claimed and not bad at all. What I loved though was Doha airport and while initially I was not happy with 3 hrs layover , when there I was glad I had so much time for my disposal.
Surprise in the airport  – relatively few travelers in traditional ‘sheikh” white garb or veiled women.
Landed in Bangkok very conveniently at 6.30 am almost no lines in immigration. I wisely decided to buy SIM card before picking my luggage and it popped out exactly in the moment I approached conveyor. So it was breeze. Checked rates at exchange booths and again wisely did not change money as  XOne on Suriwong  , it turned out,  had bit better rate. ARL to BTS, change at Siam, short walk from Sala Daeng to soi 8 and my day 1 started
Day 1
 To be sure I will have an access to bed and shower I booked room at Nantra Silom for night before. Bit horror as they initially couldn’t find my reservation but finally they did. Not much changed from last time I was there pre-covid. Breakfast served no more and computers are gone from the lobby.
 Room was clean , A/C was working and so was shower. Safety deposit box did not but me , always naïve decided to take a chance and left is as is hoping for the best , as it turned out , rightly so.
One thing was missing – not even one hanger. But  with markets in soi 10 and soi 5 across Silom deficiency easily fixable.
It was morning so next step was breakfast in world famous Unesco heritage Foodland Patpong where I was recognized by at least 3 waiters and greeted with smile, shortly boss himself was passing by and wai me as well. Welcome home vinapu thought I.
 Then round of area, I always like scenes and smells of morning market in Patpong 1, went to XOne to exchange money , Silom market to buy, you guessed rightly 5 hangers for 50 baht. ( no,  I did not donate them to Nantra, took with me and only left in my last hotel ). Returning to hotel I saw short but very muscular guy in front of one of massage places in soi 6.
 He noticed my interest and run toward me trying to secure massage but I was sleepy despite this being only noon so promised to see him later . Lets call him N and we will hear about him often in this report.
But now I collapsed on the bed exhausted by long trip and jet lag which is tormenting me more and more as I age. I did not sleep on the plane and to add , two ladies sitting in my row were yakking quite loudly for most of the flight.
 Returned to life around 3pm and yes , went to see N. It was very good decision as massage was excellent, it truly was. Not particularly cheap, 950 for the shop for 1.5 hr and N wanted 2000 for his troubles but I was happy, particularly that he came with idea of overnight with me before I even managed to opened my mouth.
Well massaged , thus invigorated and feeling hungry marched toward Suriwong and in front of Tawan I saw Dum , boy I offed several times, sitting proudly on motorcycle. It turned out that during day he is motorsai driver , returning to bar duties at night. So asked him to give me ride to Madrid Tavern in Charoen Krung soi 49, paid him 60 baht. Business is business.
 Lady at Madrid not only recognized me immediately, right away asked : “Chang , no glass ?” and when I selected spinach and cheese pizza she expressed shock why not my usual shallots and cherry tomatoes so I was forced to change to my usual. Also asked about my friend whom she did not see for quite long meaning Christian PFC as we dined there many times on both old location and current. I promised  to bring him in one day.
 Getting dark so time for bars, first go to HotMale beer bar where I met reader and after a while we decided to check on Banana club in soi 4 which I consider 2nd most friendly bar after Tawan and even Lucy is not able to change that.  I called one of boys  to sit with me loyally telling him I already have boy for the night but we had pleasant time and tipped him 500 just for fun of it. Lucy of course tried to leech some tip but I stood my ground although she was tempting me with showing her knee , go figure.
Next step was Moonlight. A, the hunk I offed on my last nights in last two trips spotted me right away , came to shake hands  and asked for drink which I gladly bought hoping to have nice time holding his massive forearm. But after sip or two he asked me to let him to greet some client so old idiot I agreed and he never returned that evening obviously having better time there . So my 400 were misspent so to speak.
 While I like him very much thank you I still considered it rude and taking me for granted. Leaving bar I  not only knew who is sleeping with me tonight but I also knew who won’t for sure this trip. On my way home I peeked into Tawan but  they were already emptying so promised to see them another night.
 N showed as promised at 1 and we had indeed good time so trip started well.

Day 2
 No rush in the morning, N wanted to stay longer but I was hungry so ordered shower and trip to Unesco for breakfast.
Then packed my luggage and went to my next dig – Baan Silom in soi 3. That’s one of my most favorite places in Silom  and almost  no trip goes without me staying there. Nothing fancy but very comfortable and spacious rooms, full size refrigerator, friendly hosts and night guard, very close to bars yet soi 3 with exception of morning and afternoon rush hours is quiet street. 7/11 across the street, and lively market right around the corner.
 Room was available so I was able to check in right away and got the room I was sleeping in many times before.
For last few trips I become fan of Jey Spa in Sukhumvit soi 43 . I like their selection and fast response time . Guy I wanted based on their Line feed, Ten was not available this week so I settled on Noom whom I saw in Dec 2001 in Sabaidee spa and for whom I got very good feedback from one of our members who was entertained by him few times.
On my way there I went to Siam paragon just to stroll through as I can’t recall I was there in the past. I’m not mall person and in Bangkok neighborhood markets like soi 10 or soi 5 plus Silom stores is all I need. Arrived at Jey bit earlier and noticed they have discreet but visible sign now. It’s about 10 minutes walk from either Phrom Phnom  or Thonglor BTS stations.
 Place is bit upscale , fitting it’s neighborhood and VIP rooms are like regular hotels rooms. Sure it cists but they have cheaper options too. 1.5 hr in VIP is 1250 for massage , when one books guy is informed what is his minimum tip rate for desired length of time. I was told 1800 for 1.5 hr.
Noom is one of those who look better in flesh than on pics , much better. If not recommendation I’d probably miss him. He turned out great guy and it was very pleasant and rewarding 1.5 hrs . What a hunk, what a body !
I was almost tempted to have another session right away but start feeling sleepy so returned to hotel to collapse one the bed from 4.30 to 8.30. Those jet lags are killing me.
 Then to G’Bangkok in soi 4 for my dinner warmly welcomed by not only boss there but also both barkers from Banana across the soi. I have secret crush on one of them  but I’m too shy to approach him but always promise myself I will do next trip. During dinner one of members Lined me asking what are my planes for tonight and I realized that I have none. It’s almost 10 pm and I don’t know where to go. What’s wrong with me ?
 I took easy way and went to Jupiter in the same soi. Wise decision. I entered just before first boy parade. Everybody was in briefs  but without number. I was stunned. Probably first time in any bar I ever been in Thailand I liked every single one of them. Not even one I’d not take home. 100% approval rate, wow! And this comes from me , never being fan of Jupiter and it’s boys. While I like their look I find their lack of facial  expression off putting although I know if’s just a management ordered  pose because when boys are sitting with you or being offed they behave normally . In the past  I never had much luck with them with exception of certain transplant from Tawan and my visits there were only for visual pleasure. I also don’t get logic of boys hidden in the corners and parading without numbers , how we are supposed to  get them ? seems too much effort.
But last two offs from there  were  very good so I  started sniffing around tonight for an opportunity
 I watched a show , mid way was another parade, this time boys were in boxers but still without numbers. Some sported even trace of smile, o, la, la.
Show quite interesting and entertaining and one can glimpse erect cock here and there for few precious seconds , thing unheard of before.
After show third parade,   this time bare chested guys in jeans but sporting numbers, sign that it’s time to get serious . Since one of guys noticing my interest smiled at me broadly during that walkabout I asked mamasan to bring him over.
 Came all in smiles and when asked about going with me accepted immediately so I did not even bother with drink but just paid off fee and off we went parading through soi holding hands at his insistence.  Very embarrassing as I’m very shy guy , on Silom he changed to embrace me and that’s how we arrived in hotel, my heart pumping.  
Seemed great off again but in the room return to usual Jupiter scheme, sweet but hasty. Long time yes but 6000 so I declined  an offer. So we had 40 minutes steamy, sweet  but rush session. When he left I was both happy and disappointed as I could use his great company longer but no, not for 6000.
Since I slept during day I did not feel sleepy at night and after he left I caught with Line and e-mails as well as forum , even surveyed Grindr and went to bed only at 3.30 am ending quite a nice day 2

few picks from trip to Nakhom Phatom : Bang Sue station from outside, line up to board train , train in platform, food offering aboard  and Great Stupa from as seen from the station and up close
 

Day 3
 In meantime N, the masseur,   is carpet bombing me with messages of how much he misses me, how great I am (like I don’t already know), dispensing advices to sleep plenty and eat well    etc.
I know it’s well intentioned but annoying too. My mother was not even 1/10 that overbearing. I like him and want to see him again so I feel entrapped.  
 On my way to Foodland I met him is Silom,  promised him another sleepover tonight.
Today is my tourist day, I went to Nakhon Pathom to see Great Stupa I saw from distance when going to train market in February.  
With trains moved to Bang Sue Grand Station it’s a bit of travel. -BTS  to Mor Chit,then  2 stops by MRT to station itself . Station is clearly oversized for traffic it handles and since my train was long distance it was some celebration. Passengers lined up in vast waiting area and we were admitted  to a platform in orderly queue only 20 minutes before departure but for 20 baht fare I can suffer plenty.
Right after train started rolling so did numerous food vendors offering food and drinks and as I noticed doing quite a brisk trade. In about 1 hr I was there. No problem finding stupa as it is 200 m from station at other end of wide street connecting those two. Admission for foreigners was 60 baht.
It is of impressive size and worth detour. On platform there’s big poster showing other attraction of the city certainly proud of being home of Thailand’s biggest stupa.
After sightseeing I walked through the market and acquired 2 pair of shorts with multiple pockets ( 6 at front and 2 in the back )  I so like at 400 baht a piece.
Returned by commuter train to Thonburi station, for some reason fare was not 20 but whopping 40 baht. From there walked to the river and took the Chao Praya Express boat to Saphan Taksin pier.
Jet lag is still tormenting me  but barely alive I went to G’Bangkok in soi 4  for their Thursday schnitzel special at 199 as always warmly greeted by the owner and both Banana barkers across. No doubt their enthusiasm is generated by my good looks and heart  , not the 100 baht I occasionally,  but not every time, no, no,  slip into their undies just to train my Vinapu tuck motions. But one of them is veteran of soi Twilight and another one object of my  quiet adoration, lol.
From there , invigorated by warm welcome and good food I went to Hot Male beer bar to have a beer there and chat with Aung, funny Myanmarese twink and then to Tawan where me, newest ATM model,  was enthusiastically welcomed with hugs, lowered briefs and  palms outstretched but today I had them disappointed for shortage of red notes.
 Even one of their performers sitting outside gave me heartily hug  saying ‘ welcome back Mr. KFC. I like that “Mister ‘ part as it boosted my ego exponentially. Tips or not , always fun there. It was still early but Mas, the twink did not waste time and offered massage upstairs. Generally not a good idea after just having a dinner but I like him and his massage is pretty skilled so I agreed and soon we were climbing stairs. Fee is 900 , not necessarily cheap for very average facilities but as I said I have weak spot for masseur so why not ? 1.5 hr nice session I can repeat every day although it crossed my mind it would be cheaper just to off him to hotel for 500 instead of paying their somewhat extortionate fee.
 By time we finished show started so additional bonus when going down was to see preparation and one of their guy was getting hard to a straight porn movie , I couldn’t resist and wrapped red note around his impressive, ready for presentation , endowment. He did not resist either, lol.
 Bar was packed and they had me sitting just by the back door but soon somebody left and I was offered better space.
I noticed few new faces , both bodybuilders and  some  twinky types and one very proportionally built hunk , not exactly teenager with ass to die for so spoiled few newbies with tips as I miraculously found 500 baht in 100 notes in one of my 8 pockets. Remember that hunk as we will  meet him toward end of trip.
 So as always despite  not so subtle tip pressure, that being my own  fault  I agree, I had , as always , tons of fun in Tawan.
Returned to hotel and was waiting for N to show up for promised overnight. Shortly I could welcome him in front of hotel but in the room we discovered nasty surprise – no water in the washroom. Fortunately he had shower before arrived and I had at Tawan after massage  . Big bottle in refrigerator was enough to refresh our teeth and we went to bed but activities for drought reason were somewhat restricted. Nobody’s fault and still nice exercise. Night guard promised things will be taken care in the morning and soothingly informed me that in case we need toilet , one by reception is  fully functional

For only one overnight, it will be more convenient to stay near the Taipei Main Station or MRT Ximen Station areas, both areas are fairly close to each other. The airport MRT train goes to Taipei Main Station and from there you can change train to Ximen Station or simply take a taxi.
Listing below some venues in Ximen neighboring areas, unfortunately their websites are not all in English. Never been there though, just for reference.

Sorry about the pieces but I'm using tablet which I hate. 
Despite of late arrival I was in talks with floridarob about meeting tonight, we never met before. He told me that he is waiting at Hotmale beer bar so after showering but unfortunately wearing the same  shirt of day long flight I rushed there. Staff recognized me on approach and greeted with open arms and news " your friend is waiting for you".
I noticed immediately elderly gentleman sitting by the bar so joined him with something like "finally after all those years, face behind the name", he looked bit confused with my cogeniality, said something polite and finally some of the staff pointed that other guy, mu h younger and better built is, one I, m supposed to greet. It was floridarob indeed.
So we exchanged latest news about Thailand, scene, as well as Mexico in view of my recent trip to Puerto Vallarta Vallarta and past 1 am as streets, were emptying rapidly we parted ways and instead of going back to Raya I decided to do a late night  walk through the area, always good idea after bars are closing as one can catch some companions going home empty handed. 
So Silom and Patpong it was then turning left on Suriwong towards Tawan with hope that some boys, will be still having a during on the corner  of soi Tawan and that street which is their habit for years. And on approach I saw three shades indeed. Coming closer I see one unfamiliar face, one familiar of Dam and third one even more familiar of guy who left them  perpaps 4- 5 years ago whom I offed in the past several times. 
One of those you can,t forget due to their muscular, steely sculpted bodies. We recognized each other in instant. Hug was spontaneous and very strong. I remembered his name, he forgot mine but remembered hotel we met last time in soi 3.
No price for guessing who was my companion I took home. What a surprise, one of those, you reasonably think you will never see again was there, smile. muscle and all. As a bonus we were in the room in minute as he lifted us on his motorbike. 
Who cared about lost luggage in such circumstances. 
 

Just a teaser of the men selling the durian. 
The store is called Bsamfruit durian delivery in chiangmai. One of the model name is sarawut maranrond (for those who want to do more research lol)

you kidding ? Both paulsf and me are back home

I wonder how many Are arriving from Singapore and China with the travel restrictions.   I’m out most nights and I just don’t see them.  

to spare boy an embarrassment of that call and waiting for me to answer I almost always walk my guy down to  a street . This courtesy is NOT awarded to guys with disappointed performance

shame on me for which I should rot in hell but even if certain good Samaritan member tried to help me with his picture, somehow I don't recall him even if he looks great.
Would it be true what I often say to pesky mamasans " I like girls  better "  ? LOL  
Or guys from Bangkok Massage across the soi were more disruptive ?

"us" meant you, vinapu and his boy ? figured why he didn't recall Pao

not only that guy thinks so,  # me too hence my private nick for him -"'Handsome Cambodian"'
 now he should be called ' Handsome Witty Cambodian "
