I hit up Hero yesterday. All I can say is the place just seems to get better. Choice of boys was amazing. A lot of these boys seem to be spending more time in the gym. Many boy next door types. A couple of borderline twinks, But not a bad face in the house. I have a regular boy I see, and as usual a great time was had. Probably head over a couple more times in the next few days. I got there about 6pm and place was quite full. My friend said right now, most customers are Chinese. Very few American and European.

I think some of my good luck comes from spending so much time here now. I've been here 3 months this year. Boys recognize you being around. After you have taken boys off, they talk. They know if your a good guy or not. Instead of looking at you, they start talking to you. I'm also finding more boys are speaking better English. This is huge because it makes it easier to go out to lunch or dinner and hang out and do stuff without just staring at each other. I've been finding that if you go to a club and pick a boy, take him home, you just have sex. If you get to spend a little time with the boy and sex isn't the first word, the sex is much better. If your here for a week or two, you have to go for it. When you have a month or two, you can get to know somebody. Works out better for everybody. Of course I've had TotallyOz as a role model In the "it's a small world" category . For the 2 years I have been staying in this apt, I have never had to share the pool with anybody on weekdays till today. A guy showed up and we exchanged pleasantries . He is Thai but speaks fluent English. Turns out he lives in the condo across the hall from me. We started talking and it seems he and his partner own this condo in Bangkok, but also live in San Francisco. They own a house and business there. I lived in SF for over 30 years till I just retired. They don't live all that far from where I did. Time to call it a night, tomorrow could be a big day......

Wednesday afternoon we got a rainy, thunderstorm filled couple of hours. Late afternoon it let up and being in the apt all day, a massage was on the horizon. I sent a text to my friend that works at Hero Massage. Said he would be there. I'm on my way. Got there about 6pm. My friend was finishing a massage but I figured I would wait and talk to him and hope he wasn't to tired. While waiting I got to sit and watch all the boys thru the glass. I counted as many as 42 and all the rooms were filled, so had to be well over 50 boys working. They don't know I'm waiting so they are all trying to show me their best side. Again as with my last trip, this is the best collection of boys I have ever seen in one place. There wasn't a boy there I wouldn't be happy with. The choice is amazing. I saw this one boy that I really liked. Probably 21 or so, taller than average Thai. Super cute. I asked if he was gay and told yes, and very versatile and just started working there. My friend shows up and says he is up for massage, not tired. Off we go. I've been with him several times and know what to expect. His massage is average, his playtime is way above average. Turns out I got pretty good massage and was already in the mood for playtime after watching the boys in the pen. He is in charge with playtime activities. I'm not top/bottom anymore so he takes over with 2 aggressive hands and an overly aggressive mouth. When he got off, I asked him if he got off in the massage he did previously. He said yes, no problem, he can do it 4 or 5 times a day. Remember those days....the kid is a sex machine. Just happy to be one of his outlets. I asked if he knew the new boy. He said a little. I said he would be perfect for a vip room (much larger room) 3-way. My friend said, sure, he's hot. When leaving the room, we pass thru the locker room and new boy is there. My friend introduces us. Boy says happy to do 3-way. Let's do it now. Not going to happen. My friend may get off 4 or 5 times a day but not me. So trying to plan thus/fri. I've had several offers of group sex this trip, don't know why, but taking advantage of it. My friend was telling me, most of his customers are Chinese now. Very few Americans, a few more Europeans. Said he misses Americans because they are the best tippers. Chinese worse tippers. Again, Hero Massage is amazing. All great looking boys and someone for everyone. Some beefy boys, boys next door, younger to older. Thai boys are discovering the gym and it's a great thing. Out to Soi Twilight tonight to see if I can get into trouble. My 3 closest friends are out of town for a few days, so tonight will be a new boy, if I can find Mr.Right

The money I save moving from SF to Florida, is now spent in Bangkok.

I lived in San Francisco for 33 years before I just retired to Ft. Lauderdale. It never got tired to just go 15 miles from the city past the 280 freeway and you would think you were in a different world. Many times on a Sunday I would just take a ride down the coast as an escape from city life.

Farang doesn't translate into Vietnamese, but it pretty much has the same meaning in any language. "Rich White Person" A couple of nights ago I saw a credit card sliding machine behind the bar at Hot Male. I said to my friend I have never seen the beer bars use credit cards before. He said, sometimes farang don't have money to pay bill or off boy, but all farang have credit cards.

Yep it's hot. I just got in at 2:30am and it's still 89 degrees. But for some fun reasons the heat didn't bother me tonight. I haven't had a 3 way yet, but I'm sure it's coming now. I met my friend on Soi Twlight about 10pm and he wanted to watch the show at Hot Male. He is in a couple of sets on stage usually, but was with me tonight and sat it out and wanted to sit and watch his friends. The boys not in shows will sit around the club and say little things and smile at boys on stage. Some nights can be quite amusing when the boys are in the mood and they were tonight. Even with the language issues, you can figure out what's going on. After the show we went back to my apt. As I've mentioned about a 1000 times before. It's Hot. But it makes playing in the shower much more fun. I guess we were both in the mood, because the bedroom didn't last very long. Back to clean up time in the shower. It's about midnight and I'm starving, so I told him I was going back to Soi Twilight to eat. He was going home to sleep as he is headed to Vietnam tomorrow. But when I said food, he was ready to go with me. Everybody that wasnt out and about last night, was tonight. The street, bars and clubs were packed. We ordered food from Maxis and ate at the bar. Just as we were finishing , one of his Vietnam friends joined us. Buy him a beer, sure...few minutes later, another friend joined us. Buy him a beer, sure. Then a few minutes later, another friend, yep another beer. We had our own Vietnamese section at the bar. They were all in such good moods, I haven't laughed so much in a long time. Kind of funny, the owner of Hot Male was there. I have met and talked to him a few times over the years. He saw me and came over and asked me if I was cornering the market on Vietnamese boys. He said to me kind of quietly that he likes Vietnamese boys to. He talked to them a bit telling them they were good boys and he was happy they worked there. The boys are on their best behavior while he is there. When he left, they all let out a deep breath and took a minute or so to get their sense of humor back. This isn't just the boss, but the owner. One of the boys asked me if we could go back and do a 3-way. As fun as that sounded, once a night is good for me. He kept quietly asking me. So I told him there were 4 boys there and I couldn't take 2, I would have to take all 4. All of a sudden they are having a conversation in Vietnamese that I can only imagine what they are saying. They all look at me and say yes. I had to say no. I had just eaten and fooled around. It wouldn't have been as much fun as it should be. I told them maybe next week when my friend gets back. They were happy with that. This one boy speaks pretty good English. I asked if 4 of you come over, what are you willing to do with each other. He explained who would do who and what . He covered it all. I've done a couple 3-ways never more than that, but this sounds like a fun 1 time thing. I know the questions of costs get brought up both in the Brazil and Asian sections. I bought dinner for 3 of us. And then drinks for about 6 guys. I'm watching the slips pile up. For those that haven't been, when you order drinks, they write up a slip of paper and put them in a bin In front of you. When you leave they add them all up and you pay. So time to leave and I get the bill for 1300 baht and I paid 400 for us to eat. Couple of 100 baht tips passed around, I spent about 2200 baht for all this boy fun. That's about $66.00 U.S It's Saturday night and a very big spend for me. Last Saturday night I went to Swinging Richards in Ft.Lauderdale and cover, couple drinks and tips, I spent $100 You can have an amazing time here, and if you connect with a boy the fun is endless. As Oz said above, these boys go out of their way to make sure we have a great trip, not just a great time. Sure it's a payday for them, but most of them do make it an issue to check up on you over the course of a trip. Even when they leave town, they will find you a friend, or 4 . But guys, don't fall in love. You can have so much fun, but I feel so bad when I meet a new guy over here and buys everything a boys says to him, and think they truly love only him. Besides being a butterfly is so much fun. I have the best of both. A boy I like being with and doesn't mind that I stray a bit. I think I will spend my Sunday napping in front of the TV? I probably won't fall asleep till the sunrises today. It's been many years since that has happened. These darn boys

I'm a total tech nerd. I haven't found anybody to show me how to post pics. I can't be talked thru it, gotta be shown. But working on it. Unfortunately I lost my IPhone 6 on the way over. Actually didn't lose it, know exactly where I left it. At the airport in Dallas. I remembered it 2 minutes after takeoff for Hong Kong. So I'm working with my Thai Iphone4 and iPad .

Yesterday turned out to be a fun day. I have a bad habit of hanging around the apt during the day and just going out in the evening. Do to language issues many of the first texts of the day from the boys is, Hi how are you, what are you doing. I told him i was going out to get a pedicure, at Cute and Beauty, a fun male beauty salon. He asked if he could go. So he showed up just after noon. He didn't quite understand the concept of gay beauty salon or pedicure, but when we got there he watched a movie on his phone and I got pampered a bit. Considering you live in sandals here, might as well try to look decent. Finished there and it was time for lunch. There is a Pizza Hut in the same block so we hit it up. People always say to me, why there? I love pizza but they have great salads and that's what I go for mostly. This is where I would normally head home, but since I was out and with good company....I said lets go down to the river and go for a boat ride. It topped out at 100 degrees so a breezy boat ride was sounding pretty good. They have tour boats, but I take the water taxi. They go to the same places with a couple extra stops. But less than a $1. Compared to $10 or so for a tour. So we killed a couple of hours and had some fun. But we were both beat from the heat so we headed back to the apt to cool off in the pool. Jokes on me. I jumpeded into the pool and realized I now have a swimming pool size hot tub. Holy crap, the water was way beyond bathtub warm. I have never felt a pool this warm. There has been a lot of 100 degree sun the past week. I'm starting to understand solar energy. We went inside to take a cool shower. The water may have been cool, but the atmosphere was quite hot. My friend has to go home to Vietnam Sunday for a family obligation and he brought his A game. I think he is hoping I'll be feeling quite generous for his trip. (It's working). After showering, we hit the bed to finish up, which didn't take long. We both fell asleep for a few hours. When we woke, it was time to feed him dinner. Asian boys eat small meals about 5 times a day. But if you go to a nice restaurant they can pack it away. We went to Balcony in Silom, Soi 4. It was about 8pm. Being May 1st and a holiday, many locals out of town, but lots of tourists in town. So quite busy but more eating indoors do to heat. He doesnt need to work at Hot Male this weekend as he is with me. But he said he wanted to go. He needed to talk to some friends that worked there. No argument from me, hanging out with a bunch of hot boys. We got there just in time for a show. So we went. Typical show. Couple traditional Thai dances, Hot wax show, suck show. No fuck show, regular boy out of town. Big cock show. 3 Vietnamese boys working and he introduced me to all of them. It finally hit me. He is trying to set me up so I won't be lonely while he is away. Little does he know, I am quite set up for next week. I won't be lonely. I don't want to be ungracious though, as he thought it would be fun to bring one of his friends over to the apt tonight for a little fun. Fine with me. As he leaves tomorrow for Vietnam, he won't be spending the night. A 3 way will be a good send off. He's on his way over now by taxi and off to dinner we go. Scoozis tonight. Fish for him and lasagna for me. Have to throw in a little Italian now and then. Dessert will be a couple of hot Vietnamese boys.

Living in Miami, the fares are always in the 1500-2000 range. Higher than anywhere else in the country. I can fly Mia-jfk-gig and fare drops to about 1k. But I noticed last week some fares were running about $975.00 from Miami. So maybe this will be a trend for a little while. I am in Bangkok now and I paid $750.00 from ft.lauderdale, more than twice rio. It's hard to figure sometimes, but they change so fast you need to jump on it.

Well if it's Heat, Humidity, and Boys your into, come on over. I got in at midnite and by the time I got to the taxi, I felt like a wet sponge. When you have 95 degrees with 80% humidity and dew points it ain't pretty. I stayed in all day and slept most of it. The flights over were great. On time , smooth, good service. But I just couldn't sleep. The guy in front of me was from Miami. 30 or so I would say, and quite hot. He sleep 13-1/2 hours of the 15 hour flight to Hong Kong. I told him I was jealous watching him sleep so long. Said he does 1-1/2 ambians. Said he does the flight every 3 months and sleeping thru it is the only way he can do it. This is a big holiday weekend in Thailand. Tomorrow is May Day and Monday is a bank holiday. Bangkok is no different than big cities in the U.S. All the locals are leaving the city and all the tourist are flocking here. I usually arrive at midnight and get a taxi in 5 minutes or so and gone. Last night, 30 minute waits with huge lines. I had fast track for immigration and no line, but regular lines were 30 to 45 minutes. I counted 20 tour buses and I'm sure there were more I couldn't see. Many groups arriving as you could see the leaders with there follow me flags held high in the air. So I think I'll spend the morning at the pool and wander out and join the ranks of tourist tomorrow afternoon. But now it's time for the main event. It's 8:30 and my phone is lined with messages of when are you coming out. Sometimes you wonder if it's you or your wallet they really want to see . It's still 90 degrees out, so I think I am delaying going As soon as I arrive at the bar where all my friends work and you start getting all the hugs, kisses and miss you's, and you start seeing and thinking of the 500 or so boys waiting for your business, you forget about the heat and long flight and start focusing on the fun stuff. Like starting off with a long, playful shower to cool off after a long night of boy watching. Phones ringing again, so I'm out of here for now.

Biguyby, my status also. Retirement opens a whole new world. I used to come to Bangkok twice a year for 7 to 10 days. Now I am coming 4 to 5 times for about a month each. I'm sitting at the Hong Kong airport now waiting for my flight to begin a new month. I rent an apartment now and can really unpack and make it feel a little more like home. Retirement money goes a lot farther it Thailand.

I agree about the show. I was very dissapointed with all the drag queens when I was there in February. I'm back this week and will stop in before the show to see about picking up a boy. They have the best selection. Lots of very hot boys

It's off to Bangkok in the morning. I'll be there for 3 weeks on this trip. The boys remember the return dates. I've gotten quite a few texts last couple of days. So hopefully I'll have something to write about. Weather has been very hot and very wet. Good excuse to stay in and spend a lot of time cuddling up. Will try to figure how to post some pictures.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for 3 weeks in Bangkok. I worry more about the weather in low season than if there are enough boys around. As stated just above, I'm happy to be there and don't expect any shortages.

I think SF is the best. Dallas is good and Miami and Chicago are upgrading food venues, so getting better.

I go the other way. I always check my luggage. Most of my trips now are my month long trips to Bangkok, and I take a few extra things that I wouldn't on a regular trip. So I need the bigger bag. But I'm not as bad as TotallyOz who needs his own shipping container. I'm hopping this will allow everybody to carry on and when I go to the baggage carrousel it will just be my bag there.

I got to ride a camel at the pyramids in Egypt. Talk about a rough ride. You need a massage when your done.

I will be there next week till mid May, so there when you are.

Yes, I'll be there till mid May. I have an apartment down on Surawong.

I arrive back in Bangkok next week for a month. Hero will be my first stop. The mamasan there is very helpful. You can ask him anything about any boy. There are so many hot boys, you shouldn't have any problem finding one that will give you what you want.

Mailed my check yesterday, and leave for a month in Bangkok next week, to get over it.

And only 1-1/2 years to go with all this . I have been doing 30 days in Bangkok and 30 days in The U.S. I think I am going to start doing 60 days in Bangkok. They have a military dictatorship. The general in charge, makes long rambling speeches on tv each day. But there not in English. Just like our politicians , what they say today, they probably won't be saying the same thing in 1-1/2 years.

She really has no competition . Unless things change she can phone it in.

Most boys know what the going rates are as much as we do. Once in awhile they get a customer that is very generous, but they are not going to sit around every night hoping to get that again. They will happily go with you for the normal going rate.
