Just some quick notes on Bali..... I'm not sure why it's not more visited from board members. Generally less expensive than some other places and not so transactional like Thailand.
The gay life is pretty active, even if it's only a couple of gay bars,  but Mixwell is fun all nights, weekends are packed.
 
It seems like Grindr blows up the first day or 2, because WE are fresh meat. Since there isn't such an influx of gay visitors like in Thailand, the guys can be looking to hang out or meet for more than one day.

Eating local food is stupid cheap, western food= western prices. I had a NY style pizza that would rival any NY pizzeria, I was shocked.

Indonesians are usually cut and have BIG asses, a nice change from other Asian countries I visit. A lot of the guys know how to do massage, like Thailand, but cheaper.

I went on this trip with my bf from Mexico, used miles for Business class, stayed  at the Conrad Bali (used points) and got upgraded to an amazing suite with a private pool and direct ocean access.

I was in the hotel business and the GM put me on the VIP guest list.... every worker knew me from sight, I wanted to adopt/marry one of the 21 yr old waiters in the Diamond lounge....I felt like a rock star. I also visited the Hard Rock Cafe, where I knew the manager from Jakarta, also made us feel like rock stars. Was a most memorable amazing trip, plus between Thai and Singapore in Business class, my BF is NEVER leaving me, lol

I'm in Pattaya now, will post something later..... 

As of tonight .   There is a gogo opening across from Hot Male in old DreamBoys location.   Scheduled to open next week or possibly week after.    There was music coming from inside, but no activity thru the front door so you couldn’t see what was going on .  Told that they were having practice tonight.    Owner is Chinese and reportedly paid a lot of baht for the place. 
 
Stopped by Screwboys for a few minutes.  About 20 guys working and some head turners.  Working the crowd,  they wanted offs. Some got them just before show time.    Wearing white shorts and basketball jersey tops.    Good crowd.  Almost full.    Actually I think the crowds were pretty decent both in Soi 4 and Patpong 2
Other side of Patpong, I noticed the stalls were down to Surawong.   I left around midnight but noticed the fine dining of Foodland was quite busy.   

My trip this week on CX was only 70,000 for Business.  Boston Hkg Bkk.    Deals are still out there but becoming harder to find.

Crown fell out and got to be replaced. I hate Dentists more than I do anything. So, going to be a long week. But, at least I was out last week with a friend and he "encouraged" me to go to a weed store and at least I was a bit woozy waiting for dentist.

My journey was 70 hours from when I left my house, but that includes 1 night in a Houston hotel....so real travel time without hotel stay was 49 hrs with flights and connections....from Houston to Bali.

I’m headed to the airport to start my 20 hours of joy in a couple of hours.   

🕵️‍♂️  🔍

I’m headed to the airport to start my 20 hours of joy in a couple of hours.   

To summarize I must say it was one of the best trips. Social component was certainly best of them all with three members there most of my time so almost no day went without common meals, coffees and gossips. We encouraged each other and gave some leads and I’m sure all had good time.
 As for boys  this trip strategy was not to be too adventurous and settle for tried and tested .It worked amazingly. None of those tried companions disappointed and they all did their best. Wing nights (first and last ) were   bit different and boys while performing very well still managed to piss me off a bit by rushing up. Don’t blame them , business is business , they did not read me as good as veterans and still earned their keep but I’d be happier if first one wouldn’t be so greedy and last so speedy.
 Kao adventure proved that fun can be had outside of scene is we have open eyes and thread carefully but with goal firmly in sight.
Him and Y were certainly stars of that trip  but S, SK , A , Nuk from Arena , Maii from Jey and MJ’s friend who visited me in the room were equally great
Novelty for me was settling down when come to accommodation. I like to change hotels every 2-4 nights but this time I was domesticated in just two.   It is more homey feeling when one unpacks for 9 days as opposite to just two. Disadvantage  is that if something doesn’t work  ( 2 noisy nights at Quarter) we are stuck and need to mitigate things using other means than just moving out.
I underutilized Foodland this time since for first 9 days I had excellent  breakfast included in the rate and somehow for dinners we steered more toward G’Bangkok but still managed to dine there few times.
 With new Foodland in the basement of Silom park we will see if those two supplement or will compete with each other . I like new store better but prefer old store’s restaurant  not only for memories but also ability to see who is inside while passing by.
Exchange rate was better than expected and hold up throughout with XOne still my favorite place to get the baht.
I regret only one thing, that I missed that new #4 from Tawan I was sitting with one night and hoped to off the next one. I should handle it differently by booking him in advance for next day  but this trip on principle I decided not to do any advance bookings so I fell victim of my own orthodoxy.
 With at least 5 twinks those days Tawan certainly is no longer just a muscle kingdom.
 I hope for another trip this year although my hope is dimmed by fact that acting on airfares substantially increased I set internal limit of how much I’m willing to pay. I monitor fees almost daily for various time frames but so far nothing  even close to my number. But I play 6-49 regularly , it may help I hope.

Day 13, last
 All things, good and bad , are coming to an end and so is this trip. I still have full day though as my flight is at 11.50 pm.
Because of Kao’s message yesterday I  kind of knew how it will look like.
Free of company I had good sleep and woke up only at 9.15 , no doubt in subconscious anticipation of sleepless night on the plane. At the same time message  came from MJ, he just landed on his first leg of his way home.
For few last day I’m exchanging messages with Keithambrose , we are trying to meet but out schedules are not aligning.  I had some medicine to buy and his hotel is on the way so messaged him that I will be passing by in 20 minutes, fortunately he was in the room and had time so we met for a handshake and chat in his place’s lobby.
Mindful that Kao will show up at 3 pm I made sure I was in the room. Unfortunately fortunately right after he arrived it started to rain , at times heavily. So instead of taking meal brake from our activities he brightly suggested we order a meal from KCF of all places. He professed to liking their food beyond measure and yes , commented that I look like KFC.
Not my kind of food but it was actually quite very good. I felt sorry for soaked delivery guy but made sure he received proper tip to dry out.
 Our time was mixture of activities  and quiet moments and mindful I need to pack  at one moment I actually put him to sleep, he was looking so sweetly, LOL. I utilized that time to tidy of and pack and at 8.30 pm we executed proper good bye rites.
  He went home and I,  in bit of drizzle marched to Sala Daeng station  to go to Swampy. All went smooth. I left Thailand for 30th time without a glitch and on time , as always curious when it will be next trip.
 In Jun on departure I had no idea I will be back in 4 weeks.
 Best part was that even if plane was full I managed to sleep in one go about half of that, rare treat for me.
I post summary in hour or two

Day 11
In the morning SK was sleeping soundly so I decided not  wake him up and went to new Foodland for breakfast and meeting with MJ alone. I left his tip in plain view just in case, actually bit more because of his recent troubles in appreciation of fact that he did not ask for anything.
 We had a lot to talk about with MJ so when I returned well past 10  he was gone and tip collected with ‘thank you ‘message on the Line . Gone were also my new sandals owing to miscommunication. When he was e going to 7/11 last night I told SK he can use mine sandals  instead of  tying his sneakers and all that. What I meant one time usage he took as permission to use them in perpetuity. No harm done since I had another pair.
Today I feel a bit cold so went to buy Tylenol and stay in the room till afternoon. Tylenol did the job and at 4 pm I was ready for  trip to Arena with MJ as decided in the morning .
When going to bars or spas with somebody there’s always possibility that both of us will be fond of the same guy so we agreed on who will be first.  Greeted by veteran captain Art we surveyed realm , today very rich selection of mostly hunky hunks. Fortunately we had different picks. My choice was guy whose face was bit familiar but whom I was certain I never engaged.
 Only when he told me his name Nuk I got enlightened. One of most popular and praised guys there for many years. There was member who never took anybody else from arena then him.  Finally today was my turn to get acquainted . He aged a bit since last time I saw him  there but he did not lost his luster. Great body , great massage  skills and every thing else. Spoiled him with 2000 tip .
 Then MJ and me went to Foodland, a bit underused this trip because I had breakfast included in Quarter and for dinners somehow G’Bangkok had bit more allure.
  We always had plenty to talk about liking exactly the same types and in fact the same boys so spent some time there exchanging news.
 In the evening MK and me planned to go to Tawan so I went there knowing MK will be inside already. There was new boy # 4 , not exactly hunk but very attractive still. I had him sitting over drink and used occasion to get  bit intimate if only to have excuse to tip him.
 S wasted no time to sit beside on other side , that way securing  LT off tonight. Knowing what I know now If I have any regret this trip it was that I did not off #4 tonight instead .
  It was raining quite heavily when S and I left so even if it’s very close to hotel we took taxi which handily just appeared in front of bar.
Very energetic night, as I mentioned before S is not even close to being sand bag , at least not with me, that’s sure thing. He likes his inflated tips but to be fair works for them quite hard and never complains about inability to sleep because my manipulations.
But for tomorrow I made firm resolve , it’s #4. We will see how it will work.
 

Day 10
 After Y left I slept well despite of cold bed. Last breakfast today at the hotel as I’m finally moving to Baan Silom. Nice lady who prepared my fried eggs every morning was nicely surprised with tip I left her.
In the room I packed then took tuk-tuk which took me to new digs for 100 baht. I left luggage there as they instructed me room will be ready in 1-2 hours ( it was still morning ) and went for a stroll. On corner of soi Tawan repaired my daypack for 70 baht then got a message from MA he is drinking cofeee at Silom 64 so marched there to join him for tea and latest news.
Then I took MRT  to Hualampong  just to check how it is now after most trains moved to Bang Sue or whatever elaborate name of new station is. Central platform  is kind of railway museum with exhibit of old stem engines but there are still some trains departing from there.
 There’s free shuttle bus connecting both stations but doesn’t seem to be too frequent, perhaps one per hour as for time I was surveying station , more than ½ hr it did not departed.
When I arrived in hotel room was already free so time for some laundry. Since I like to travel light I have habit that first thing to do in the room is do some washing.
In the afternoon we had thunderstorm, about time as it was so far quite dry for rainy season. At 7.30 dinner at G’Bangkok with MA , from there we went to Hot Male beer bar to have some drinks with boys there. I used that occasion to molest new boy One a bit more and of course force some tip on him for his troubles.
It was past 10 pm when I got Line message from SK that he just landed and is going straight to my hotel. He was escorting his ailing brother to Cambodia as doctors advised them his treatment will be cheaper there.  So waved good bye to gentlemen in the bar and went to hotel, not long after SK arrived. He was both sleepy and hungry and suggested that instead of restaurant he will go and buy something to eat for him at 7/11 across the street so I gave him 200 baht to do some shopping. Yes , upon return he gave me a change with receipt.
Food energized him quite a bit   so we had some exercises instead of talking politics in Mauritius.

Day 7
 we woke  up at 6 and after short wrestling session and shower went for breakfast. That early I expected hotel restaurant to be empty and to my surprise it was almost full.
 Back in the room I tipped him. He did not seem to be happy, not that I was stingy. He likely noticed I’m surprised with his reaction so put himself together and said ‘thank you Buddha”. That’s better I thought. Problem with occasional over generous tip is that some  guys expect it to be permanent fixture and that was likely a case.
Today MA and me have tourist program – visit  at GMMTV , producer of so many BL series headquarters in Ratachada. We went there by subway. There;s whole procedure before admission to gift shop on 30 something floor. We were told to leave passports  on reception before we could enter elevator.
Gift shop was mobbed by Asian girls so we both were bit out of place but they were [patiently waiting when we were browsing screens with memorial trinkets they offer for sale . At end of day nothing took our fancy but it was fun.
 Then we had coffee in Starbucks in the lobby , there were dozens of fans camping there hoping to catch the glimpse of one of their stars I guess.
 Then we parted ways. I went to Rama IX Central nearby on hunting mission. One of my most favorite guys of all times , M from Senso is hairdresser in one of shops there. I tried to spot him previously but did not succeed and neither I did today. Hope dies last though, it’s always next time !  
Upon return to the room and it was already 3 pm I was surprised it was not cleaned yet but I went to XOne to change some money and when I returned it was already tidied.
This afternoon I have meeting with guy I met by chance in one of previous trips who is not a guy from the scene. We talked occasionally from time to time . Last time we talked , one of us , I don’t remember who , suggested we should have dinner together one day . Today was the day. Kao is his name or at least it’s how he wants me to call him.
I did not have any expectancies but was very curious to see if something more than talk and meal together  comes out of it.
He arrived on the dot at 5 as agreed.  If this trip proved something it was that most boys are very punctual and  on time contrary to what some slanderous farangs may say.
To break the ice we went to place across hotel with some stalls and had some Lao craft beer there. When subject of something more substantial came he suggested meal in  Sizzler on Silom. I liked idea although I don’t usually dine there but few years ago had birthday meal at the place with two other boys in tow.
 Surprisingly he suggested we walk there, so much about Thai guys being reluctant to walk. Reason given was even more endearing ‘ we will have more time to talk” ( his English is good conversational although he admitted he speaks tongue but doesn’t write it). That was a good sign no doubt.
 He was visibly reluctant to order as prices there are quite high but I made it easy for him “ do you want that steak?” , ‘too expensive “ , ‘ ok, one for you , one for me “.
 But I liked fact that he was trying not to take advantage of being treated. Best part came when we were considering drinks ‘ I have a juice, we can buy some beers at 7/11 and  drink  it in your room “ .
Hearing it I thought I just have a stroke as it was something I was afraid even to dream about , him in my room , whoa !!!
Nasty surprise came when we went to settle  a bill. Not it’s size ( 2045 , not  a cheap place I told you ) but fact they don’t take  a cash. .
Normally I don’ use plastic when I travel unless not given a choice and in Thailand I don’t even carry cards with me , keeping them in safe box. I like cash. If Guardian Angel did not suggest I take wallet with me just in case I wouldn’t. If I did not it were so embarrassing.
I generally boycott places refusing to take cash and now I’m even more inclined to boycott them so likely it was my last visit at Sizzler Silom in this life for that very reason. Uff !
So we did as planned , stocked up on beer at 7/11 near hotel and went straight to the room.
 Yes,  we drank all that beer and had very nice conversation and yes, as evening was unfolding we slowly but surely  become bit more closer and closer  but that’s nobody’s business. From what I thought it will be sober and well behaved evening it turned out to be quite romantic and interesting one even if two things were excluded by Kao from the menu – kiss and long time.
  Not that he was in rush to go , I was trying to use fact that he drunk quite a bit to keep him here even pointing to the fact that there’s  bed in bedroom a but also sofa in the living room but he was firm “ I drive slowly and will sleep at home “.
 So around midnight I decided I let him go, I did not want him to get too drunk. We already agreed to met on another day this trip.
 It was one thing I  was not sure how to handle not to create any offense to such great guy. You got it – should I tip or not. I decided to abandon any pretense of diplomacy and asked straight away “ can I give you some money?” to get an answer “ of course”. So I did.
Long live Thailand where casual conversation may lead to such great afternoon and evening I thought when he closed door.

Day 6
 SK did not go with me for breakfast, only in the morning he told me his brother is sick and he need to go to hospital to visit him. He did not elaborate and when I asked he did not seem to be keen on talking about that.
Otherwise lazy morning . busy doing nothing but filled with anticipation as at 12.30 I was expecting a visit from MJ’s friend , one who was with us on that Baiyoke Sky dinner. Hunky , handsome and skilled masseur. Another one who showed on the dot and we had great session. Bonus was he did not seem to be in rush at all.
Secret was revealed when  he was ready to go  - he had another appointment in on of Sathorn hotels around the corner. He even said something about him having great business day.
Afternoon I was even more busy doing noting other than stroll to new Foodland to eat something. Not much though as at 8.30 pm MA and I were supposed to dine at G’Bangkok.
Always great food and atmosphere there. After the meal we took easy stroll across the soi to see first show at Banana. Mamasan Lucy seemed bit subdued, did not even bother to come and ask for tip, not that I complain. Hope she is Ok. Show was quite long , mostly lip syncing by pert-time divas but audience seemed to enjoy it so  we both  forced ourselves to enjoy it as well. At 11 pm we decided to see what is going ok in Moonlight. When we arrives show was almost over but bar was still packed, weekend I guess.
 Muscle god A spotted me right away, came all smiles ,  true to form  I did not waste time either and told him no boy drink , dress up please and soon off we will go . Waiting for him I finished my drink ogling boys on stage . Spotted new cute boy # 5 and hunky # 45. Y was on the stage as well so on departure I tipped him and #45 just for good luck.
 A was hungry so we went to Happy Beer Garden around the corner    to feed him , I was not hungry but ordered some gyozas to keep him company. Waitress  Joy  was happy to see me and I did not take any offence when she  announced loudly ‘ O my God , my daddy is here”. I even treated her with Thai whisky at her own modest request.
 After we were done A proudly showed me his new motorcycle, not motorbike mind you, parked in front of Moonlight so we went to hotel big time in style.
In the room some beer  and our traditional wrestling, I always loose but I’m still proud it takes some effort for such a hunk to eventually crush me. He warned me that he needs to leave early which I did not mind as long as I am warned in advance, specially the he told me why and it was kind of serious thing he needs to take care of.  

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 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.
