To be fair I think you've got a point there as there's more wheat in their diet as well as Rice vs. say Thai.  If you look when they start hitting the gym they get toned / built / six packs really quickly too.

Day 11 (Hanoi & Pattaya)
We both woke late morning as suitably exhausted from the previous night’s exertions, I’d booked myself on the afternoon flight from Hanoi to Bangkok so didn’t have to rush around early and get stressed (been there before & it usually creates rows).  Nice just relaxing on the bed chatting, no great rush to do anything.  B2 then declares he’s hungry ‘little bit’ which as we all know translates as:- ‘feed me quick before I turn into a hungry monster’  so off to the local restaurant in our street for a couple of bowls of steaming Pho and more of those amazing Hanoi spring rolls to round off our stay.  By now B2 with his gregarious / fun personality had charmed the waitress plus the owner’s wife so they were all chatting away in Viet like long lost friends.
Someone did ask B2 who I was the other night when we went to get massages and he told me afterwards he told the lady masseur I was his BF (not technically true as that would have been his brother at one time out of the pair of them).   Nice though that he described it that way and had the will power to say it, not easy in his country.
He ordered up another one of his Avocado shakes (new one on me), odd looking concoction…but did taste delicious.  He rang the company who were picking him up in their mini-van route and turned out with the rain 2 nights before part of the road between Ha-Tinh and Hanoi had been flooded so no mini-van’s today.  He said no problem and later he’d go visit a Viet friend in hospital and stay overnight in a cheap local hotel he’d used previously when waiting for me to arrive.


Tidied up the condo and finished our packing, I’d sorted him out his Tips for his time as my guide the night before plus added in another lump for being good fun and covered hotel first night & bus’s to / from Hanoi so he was very happy.  He passed on some good wishes from his papa who it turns out wants me to visit Ha-Tinh next time (that should get a ‘reaction’ from my ex…lol), we kissed (he knows how to kiss well for a Viet) & hugged in the condo and then headed out for the lift, street and my waiting taxi at the end of the street.  Gave B2 a last wave and then I was headed to the airport, nice steady trail of messages from him, seemed genuinely grateful that I’d made the effort to come.
Airport was a relaxed / efficient affair again, it’s reasonably modern and big but functions more smoothly than some London airports I could mention.  This time I just took my one big bag on as hand luggage to avoid the ‘tax’ Vietnam airlines charge you (1500-2000 per bag / per journey in the hold) as noticed last time most people doing the same.  Slung my small bag over my back and they said nothing at check-in.  Only minor drama was I pulled all my toiletries out before hand for the X-ray and to be fair they let all thru except I forgot about 1 can of compressed air type deodorant.  Some ‘Superdry’ type smelly that B2 loved funnily enough (said he wanted to ‘eat me’ every time I used it so I guess the smell must appeal to Viets…mental note to buy a SHIT load more when I get home).  Anyway that was the only thing that got tossed in the bin by a very apologetic security type. 
A mildly suspicious peer at my passport by the immigration guy who asked how many days I’d been in country (test question of course…as he knew from the incoming stamp already), but he got the right answer so on I skipped.
Departures by the gates again were a nice affair, lots of little modern café type setups (great food and very reasonably priced…unlike the extortionate piss takes that is Heathrow Terminal 2!).  My section (by my gates) looked out over the Apron tarmac so nice views of jets wheeling too & fro.  I foolishly had one last Viet coffee and the damn thing nearly blew my head off….Jesus! they do know how to make an intense coffee in the north…but was a fitting goodbye to this quiet but intense country.
Flight was bang on time both take-off and landing, bagged an exit seat again so comfy, I’d pre-booked a taxi with a company I knew in sin city and he was waiting for me at Gate 5 when I came thru arrivals, must admit carrying on all your bags is great for a short flight as I was less than 30 minutes from landing to in the taxi speeding towards Pattaya.
My main reason for heading back, was there were a couple of guys I’d promised to see plus catch up with ColmX for a couple days.  Arrived back at the same condo complex as last time but this time got a much better condo, probably the best I’ve ever stayed in there so off to good start!  After a powernap and early evening and the rain started up so hooked up with ColmX and we headed to Boyztown both clutching brollies (very manly…lol), I think did the rounds of Boyztown to check out the local offerings.  For me personally…from where I’d just come from…this was a bit depressing tbh, Toyboys was quiet and only needed some elevator music to complete the feeling of boredom.
Cupidol bit more interesting but I was actually hunting for a cute Laos boy whom I’d spotted there on my previous last night in Patts (had the most outrageous cruisy ‘come to bed’ eyes that had both myself and ColmX handing over red notes the previous occasion as fast as we could get them out of our wallets).  But of course…’boy not work tonight’ came the dreaded reply.  No matter I had his Hornet so messaged him up, hoping for a reply later.  ColmX headed off to see Vessey and I decided to go find ‘K’ in X-Boys (my 50/50 Viet/Thai boy) from last time.  ‘K’ was there but basically could not be persuaded to do the magic ‘everything’ that night (he’s more Top) so having a minor grump/sulk I headed off and left him to it.
Ended up in Silapin Issan with Colm-X again which was half full and seemed to be a couple of Ladyboy’s birthdays going on, tried to get into the vibe but just was not in the mood despite the best attempts of several friends.  Think I was just having a sulk over my plans being thwarted for 2 guys I was interested in, so in true child-like manner I said goodnight then bailed out and headed back to the condo….ALONE (shock horror!).
A quick hunt of the Apps threw up nothing that gave me ‘stirrings’ but I threw a few messages out to a couple of my regulars and then dozed off on the very comfy bed….ALONE (double shock horror / disgust).
Day 11 (Pattaya)
Woke up early and feeling rested after a quiet night I promptly fired up the Apps and low & behold the cute Laos boy had replied to my messages.  I think early afternoon we exchanged a few more and once the basics were sorted out (he’s a Bottom etc) he wanted to come over after he finished his studies in the afternoon.
Turned out he was studying every day how to cut / style hair (50K course over 5 months) and some basic beauty type treatments in Pattaya during the daytime and then working massage in the evenings or sometimes Cupidol to fund it all.  Smart lad..actually using his money to do something that will give him a real job down the line.
N the Laos boy came over mid-afternoon, as cute as I remembered from seeing him on stage, very friendly lad with great English, bit of chat to & fro…then he asked to use the shower so we were game on.  Great kisser and delightfully lithe swimmers type body, typically for Laos quite sensual in bed (climbing all over me) and was defo more of a ‘Power Bottom’ (makes me wonder what the Viets would be like if they were all Buddhists tbh…mad for it one suspects!).  We spent another hour testing out the various positions and doing our best to check the integrity of the condo’s furniture, then both collapsed onto the bed in a sweaty pile with streaks of astro-glide here and there from our efforts.  Got another lovely long kiss off him and we both headed to the showers to clean up. 
Chatted a bit afterwards and he asked if he could see me again tomorrow but I said I thought I was headed back to BKK but we’d see what happens.  Off he headed a happy Laos boy with a healthy ST tip in his back pocket.
After that needed another nap to get myself back together….woke up a couple of hours later to some messages in LINE from a Thai boy in Sunnee that I’d chatted to before.  Turned out the lad worked Nice boys which is not normally my first port of call when hunting for an off but he had a nice bod and seemed polite enough so called him over.
He arrived the condo on time, but where the Laos boy before had been calm and very sexy…this guys was more hectic and bit hyper, another game obsessed phone addict too!  Bit of polite chit / chat in between him playing his video game and then he excused himself to go toilet / shower….then followed an odd 20 minutes where I could just hear the ‘dings & dongs’ from his game coming from the bathroom but a distinct lack of running water!  Went in to see what was going on and the boys sat there on the damn loo playing his game, I politely told him to get busy and 5 minutes later heard loo flushing, followed by the joyous sounds of the bum gun and then a running shower.
After this I was mildly irritated though so showered fairly swiftly myself and decided to turn it into a ‘fuck & go’ type session,  to be fair the guy delivered all that was promised in the bedroom but it just felt a bit ‘off key’ to me but funnily enough he did enjoy getting fucked and seemed to turn from a str8’ish type boy into yet another power bottom.
We both cleaned up, and I tipped him all as agreed up front but I was kinda half glad to wrap the encounter up, just felt a bit edgy…not my usual type of off.
Mid evening by then so I headed out and caught up with ColmX in boyztown and then after mulling it over decided to go see ‘K’ in XBoys again, I didn’t really want to leave it on the note I’d done last night (not my way).  We had a chat with his mamasan keeping an eye on things as she knew I wasn’t happy the night before.  I basically said…look don’t worry about Bottoming (as I’d had 2 already that day) but would be good if you stayed over-night as I’m checking out the next morning.  K has the time old issue of being custodian of the room key for him and pal, now mama picked up on this at some point and spoke to him in machine gun style Thai (you know when they’re telling them to do something).  K went pulled his top & trousers on, asked me to wait X-Boys for 5 mins whilst he shot out.  Me bit confused said ok then Mama explained she’d told him to go give his room key to his pal to ensure no issues tonight….who says mamasan’s can’t be useful…lol
Once he came back and nodded all was good I cleared the bill tipped mama and we headed off to meet up with Colm-X, Vessey and their respective entourages (about 9+ people in total!) near the entrance to Walking street.  Think we ended up in Silapin Issan and to be fair was a much more fun than night before, boys were happy and whiskey flowing.  I was drooling slightly over one of Vessey’s previous off’s from Nice boys who turned up also…to be fair was a gorgeous looker…now why couldn’t I have found him this afternoon I wondered….lol.
K was getting sleepy so we headed home after a few hours and proceeded to re-discover each other bodies and leave some vitamin D deposits on them.  He’s just a sexy ‘nice’ Thai boy next door type, not rocket fuel filled or mad for it like some, just a genuinely ‘nice boy’ and frankly there’s a lot to be said for that sometimes.
Had a nice shower together, the condo has a big walk-in type that you could probably organize a small orgy in if you so choose, lathering him up was pretty special too and nice way to wind up my stay in Pattaya, we both dozed after that and slept peacefully till the morning.

To be fair I think you've got a point there as there's more wheat in their diet as well as Rice vs. say Thai.  If you look when they start hitting the gym they get toned / built / six packs really quickly too.
Banh Mi shops & stalls on every street corner...we went for a walk and found a street with a batch of serious French Patisserie shops too (not so good for the figure...but very nice), its like they're taken the bits of French culture they liked and adopted it as their own.

Aye...B2 certainly does photo well!
Its been my observation after years of thorough & detailed research that Viets generally have more shapely butts than their Thai cousins too, bit more of a 'bubble'

it must be that diet of French style baguettes

A few more pics (finally managed to get them off my phone...lol)

I didn't even notice that there's a window.

Yes I think a lot of the North is Catholic from what I've seen / heard and they're very passionate about their religion too, took the ex BF to the Khao San rd one time and he bought a large picture of the Pope...then proceeded (to my slight horror) to set it up on a bedside table!  I had to hide it when he wasn't looking as felt like the dear Pontif was watching me as I was having my wicked way with him!
Bless me father for I have sinned...

I 'think' I spotted the guy your talking about #45 back in April...your description rings a bell & he was definitely a Viet, nice light muscular build / swimmers bod...I did not see him there on my last trip though but as Vinapu says above, more fun to go look.
I have my regulars but its always fun to find new talent.

Thailand hotels  are extremely good value for money and nothing wrong in splurging on them if one desires to soak in a bit of luxury  but I'm low maintenance guy  and while from time to time I splurge on then/ Amara first 2 nights this trip / I don't consider that money well spent. All i need i found in 40$  places , no need to spent 120. But that's me.
Good restaurants are even bigger waste  of money IMNSHO as quality of food has no relation to an ambiance of the place, I simply don't see any value in better eating places other than setting for a nice meeting and conversation with friends. But that's me
Over 19 trips I covered all tourist places many times over , even obscure ones like Bank of Thailand both museums   and numerous temples. Not all tourist attractions I even find attractive (Asiatique comes to mind ), I like ruins and have my feed of those in Ayuthaya every so often. But that's me.
Retail is on back burner too, in 19 trips I visited cathedrals like MBK , Central Plaza, Siam Paragon, Central Festival of Pattaya and  both Terminals 21  grand total 1 or 2 times each maximum. Only Silom Center gets more visits , chiefly because I need to use washrooms passing by as Silom is my base.Chatuchak, again grand total 3 visits over 19 trips since 2001.
I may fell in love with Icon Siam though  but only with Thai themed first level. Visited twice  this month and did not have enough. Even contributed to art market and bought a picture for 1000 / one thousand exactly / baht in support of aspiring artists. But that's me.
I'm happy flying cattle class as long as plane is on time and schedule is sensible. First class passengers are arriving exactly at the same time I do. But that's me.
My preference are guys , massages and bars well over accommodation , dining and shopping and this is what I go to Thailand for so it will be illogical to cut corners on this type of  spending although I have moments when I may be too generous and not enough demanding. But generally I consider to receive  expected value for my money and definitely that was a case , bar few unfortunate massages drowning me in oil, on the trip just reported. I expect to have good time delivered to me and I'm prepared to pay for it. When money is short I stay home penny pinching so I can return to better financial position. But again, that's  just me.
Other may have different preferences and expectancies.
 

instead of chasing boys with numbers just go tho the bar and see who is available it's better to be nicely surprised that disappointed that ' dream boy' is absent. Many fish in the sea

not recently..it was about 6 months ago.
I may soon need to keep a database of the boys for my poor memory.

thank you for great next installment, that picture of the dinner made me actually hungry and salivating

Day 9 (Hanoi)
We both got up late morning, ‘B’ likes his 8 hours sleep but after that he’s usually up & running so a good companion on trips away.  After making use of the walk-in shower together and a bit of mild playtime, both felt hungry so went hunting for somewhere new for breakfast.  Just walked around until we spotted an interesting small restaurant.  Jesus the coffee in the North is nice but soooo STRONG.

Viet style breakfast for me and ‘B’ went for a kind of Pizza (made me smile ordering it for  brekkie but all good…keeps him happy) again just getting his foreign food fix whilst hanging out with me.  Very heavy rain showers last night so grabbed a large brolly from a local shop, think there was some type of storm passing thru VN at the time.
We just went for a wander around afterwards and found ourselves back at the Cathedral again which funnily enough had a Sunday service on, I suggest ‘B’ go in (get his RC fix) and I just lurked at the back watching proceedings…I doubt there’s enough time in those confession booths for me to run over my myriad of sins!  It was good for him as he went and sat down said a few prayers and dropped something in the donation box, think he took a couple of discreet pics too to keep the family at home happy.



Afterwards I queried if he wanted a haircut / style and being the former BKK boy he was got a prompt affirmative and we went back to our little street and found a small shop run but a bevy of cute Viet guys and with AC for me to cool down, was getting damn hot after the rain showers.  Gave me a chance to eye up his stylist (damn cute!!) and of course keeps ‘B’ happy.  He looks hotter with shorter hair imho, went for the classic Viet shaved sides and then bit more styled on top.
After about an hour & a few thousand Don later we headed off for an afternoon shower / nap.  I emerged from the shower to find him ‘pulling himself off’ (to use an English expression) buck naked on the couch…clearly feeling horny again so the towels went flying and I did my best to assist his aroused condition which ended up with a nice couple puddles of Vitamin D on his lovely 6 pack.   Have a feeling he was taking advantage of being away from the family to get as much sex as possible (probably difficult in a shared family home in Ha-Tinh I dare say)…who am I to object!
Great thing about the old quarter is there’s a lot you can see just by walking around on foot so a few hours later we headed out and went to the lake and just wandered around soaking it all up.  Seemed to be very popular place with the Vietnamese families on Sunday in general to go hang-out there (few pics below).




At some point ‘B’s brother (same mama) video called him from BKK, imagine his surprise when he clocked me wandering around Hanoi alongside him…lol.   The 3 of us have a funny relationship and it would take too long to explain here, but basically 1 of them pimped me out to the other years ago so we’re on fairly equal terms although younger brother does get a bit of the green eyed monster at times.
Dinner in the local restaurant in our street, then over to the Café by the cathedral for some Ice Cream smoothies and drinks on the Terrace, great place to hang-out at night…seems popular with the younger locals especially.
The day ended with us just wrapped around each other and both feeling relaxed & content.
Day 10 (Hanoi)
Kicked off the day with a Video call from ‘B’s family in Ha-tinh, his dad was online first and at some point I got asked to speak to him so I seem to have been ‘declared’ to them, I could see the family joining dad peeping at me so I guess our little trip to Hanoi had got some excitement back home.   ‘B’ seemed to be slowly drip feeding them the truth until today we were just both lounging around talking to them (with him translating for me).
After breakfast I suggested we go buy something for his dad so he had something to take home to him, think Dad asked for a ‘warm jacket’ at first and after a fruitless search of several shops with numerous offerings being rejected (his dad’s not into fake ‘The North Face’ jackets which seem to feature VERY heavily out there).  We then tried to find some local Tea and after a bit of a hunt and ‘B’ asking some locals for advice we ended up in a smaller / quieter street that seemed to have shops selling Tea / Coffee in bulk…quite interesting and the sort of place I would never found without ‘B’ helping me.
A couple of large packs / different types of Tea procured we headed off to lurk in the shade of a funky looking local coffee shop, coffee culture here could put some parts of East London to shame…lots of young Vietnamese just hanging out enjoying time together.
A pal of ‘B’ also from Ha-Tinh was on the bus to due to arrive later that day and wanted to meet up with him that night so we decided not to travel to far from base until he landed.  Said pal ‘Viet B2’ turned up late afternoon looking a tad hot and bothered after his journey, I remembered him from about 15 months ago in Screwboys (he’d gone home), another very handsome lad, polite and quite gregarious.  B2 ducked into the shower and came out later showing off his very nice footballers style upper body and washboard ABS, looked like he’d grown a bit since his bar days but very striking boy, he prowled around the condo a bit and nodded his approval to ‘B’.
So appears I’m entertaining 2 handsome Viet boys tonight…after a quick check both were hungry and we marched out looking for a restaurant, B2’s eyes were scanning everywhere, don’t think he’d stayed in the Old Quarter before.  I rashly told them to pick the restaurant for dinner, so after wandering a couple of streets B2 picked out some fairly upscale French / Viet place, the dinners looked like the more well-heeled end of Hanoi and we headed upstairs where there was more space. 
B2 was up for a beer which was good with me as B was on a dry month so my previous 2 days had been dry too and a drinking partner was welcomed.
Heineken’s duly emptied (rather rapidly) whilst B quaffed his shake and we ordered up another round, dinner arrived and to be fair was pretty damn amazing, really nice French / Viet fusion type dishes.  The boys ordered up some type of local sweet / sour soup too and it was game on, actually really nice just seeing them both chow down.

Asked the boys where they wanted to go after & both said Cathedral so off we went in search of more evening drinks and a nice Terrace to chill on, them of course doing their social media thing (good face for friends at home).  B2 was quite inquisitive asking about me either directly or via ‘B’, he said he remembered me from 15 months ago when he worked Screw-boys (I never offed him back then).  Got the feeling they were up to something and at some point over a 3rd or 4th round of Heinekens B2 looked at me coyly and then spoke to B in Viet, B then smiled and declared to me that quote ‘next time B2 go with you’…I nearly spluttered back up my last glug of Heineken…where the f**k did that come from then I thought?  They seem to have just decided it by themselves…lol (typically Viet).   Pimped out yet AGAIN!  Did get me smiling inside though…lol…did my best to look coy (very very badly).
B2 had to get back to his campus as studying in Hanoi so we bailed out early and headed back to the condo first, I left them to gossip a bit (probably plotting god knows what for me!).  B2 headed off to his campus after a nice hug and genuine thank you for the dinner, said he felt very happy with his friend…good enough for me.
Showered and then to bed with my horny guide whom I spent the next hour trying to satisfy and putting a dent in my supply of ‘Astroglide’.  Both dozed off feeling happy and relaxed I also got a nice thank you from ‘B’ for the evening before sleep, I just said no problem and I knew it was a special night for them both.

Ok so I rarely (if ever) write trip reports and this will be more of a synopsis of my travels in Thailand & Vietnam from Late Aug to Early Sept.
Day 1 (BKK)
Arrived at Swampy in the afternoon EVA (night-flight flight from London / LHR), lucky enough to get an Exit seat so was fairly comfy all the way and well sedated with a few G&T’s.  EVA are fairly understated and still use the 777 but they’re solid and reliable and have never let me down (yet!!). 
Pretty obvious its low season from the short length of the ‘snake’ at immigration, think I was off the plane and in a taxi in under 40 mins speeding towards the State Tower where I had a condo booked for the first 3 nights.  Condo turned out to be a LOT nicer than I expected and kind of annoyed at myself for not booking it for my last 4 nights in BKK too (hey ho), few pics for those interested…was on the 49th floor so lovely view at night.
Quick nap then off to check out the bright lights like a giddy teenager, headed for Lucky boys first.  Managed to swerve Lucy and got my (and Paul SF’s) fav Viet mama, unfortunately my timing was poor & arrived just as the show was starting plus I got a seat up in the ‘Gods’ at the back.  Downed a Vodka sprite in 10 mins (well you need to re-hydrate after a long flight) and fled the show to the clutches of my beloved Screw boys as no show on there at that time.
Screw boys was steady (nice greeting from Mama Phim) and a seat opposite the bar, fair few new faces, appeared to be less Viets and more Laos now, definitely a wider mix but some new talent which is always good.  Phim was just scribbling me a note of which numbers can do the magic ‘everything’…when one of my regulars over the last 2 years a Viet ‘Handsome W’ came ambling over and gave me a lovely hug and asked if he could sit down.
Some of you may recall I used to have 2 sets of 2 Viet brothers in this bar that I used to play with regularly, basically they just pimped me out to their relatives (who am I to complain).  2 of the 4 boys have since returned home to VN (1 out of choice and 1 due to Thai Royal Police), but the other 2 (inc my ex) are still in BKK.  Whilst my roving eye was still taking in the new talent ‘Handsome W’ did look delightful and was very bubbly to see me.  He’d toned up slightly since Songkran but said had been sick for 1 week recently & lost a little weight.  Decision made…offed ‘W’ and asked him if he minded us going for a drink to another bar before we headed back.  We settled on Fresh boys 2 so I could ogle the new talent and he could catch up with his Viet pals upstairs.  Its easy with ‘W’ as been together so many times we don’t need to talk about what we will / will not do…we both know what the other likes and he’s relaxed with either ST or LT (over-night).
Fresh boys 2 show had just finished so we grabbed a couple of drinks, nice line-up…again less Viets than my last trip and wider mix of nationalities with some very hot guys.  Benefit of having ‘W’ with me is I get no hassle from the mama’s in there as he’s kind of like my partner for the night and guard as senses I’m jet lagged & flagging.  Spotted a few other Viets from my not quite inner circle and a few came over to say hello plus the Viet waiters in that bar as fun as ever.  Judging from a message that popped up in LINE from my ex…my arrival had been swiftly reported to the Viet Boys Intelligence network.
We both bailed out for food and then headed to The State Tower, great seeing ‘W’ explore (read prowl) the condo and got his stamp of approval, particularly the view from the balcony on the 49th floor at night…pretty damn special and nice as the air felt bit cooler up that high and less traffic noise.  Turned over the smart TV controls to him and got treated to some Viet pop and just dozed off with me head on his lap…woke up a bit later and we shared the shower (few things in life are as nice as soaping up 55kg of hot VN guy in the shower) then to bed and of course getting more intimately reacquainted.  Anyone who thinks Viets are not passionate has been missing out imho, we both slept like logs afterwards …’W’ can sleep 8-10 hours no problem, noticed he was a little clammy so probably still shaking off the last vestiges of his illness the week before so I dialled down the AC a bit and opened the bedroom French windows ajar on the balcony to let some fresher air in, woke up a couple of times to find his Viet paws circling me but we both slept soundly…nice to be back in BKK!
Day 2 (BKK)
‘Handsome W’ awoke around early afternoon (I’ve learnt its best to let him wake his own way rather than rouse him early), showered again and a bit more morning playing around…then off to locate some food in a local Thai place.  He headed to his room to get changed for the gym (tipped his usual LT / overnight rate plus a bit more as he’s one of my favourites).
Feeling a bit less jet lagged and hornier I started searching Hornet and found a cute Khmer Bottom who seemed up for a spot of Gymnastics, usual bit of on-line negotiating…what do you like? What do you want? etc. etc.  Arranged to meet up early evening so I could have another nap first.  Met him just outside the State Tower & pleasantly surprised as looked exactly like his pics and if anything a bit cuter, perhaps a touch fem but ok for me (I’m not usually a fem boy type).  Very little Engrish though but deduced he was hungry so took him to another Thai food place opposite…not much open on Sunday evenings nearby but we found a small local restaurant.  Re-fuelled we headed back and had a pleasant but not particularly inspiring session 6/10. I later found out he worked Fresh boys 2 sometimes and I think was just one of those guys who’s a bit lazy at what he puts out…never less I had my wicked way with him and so he was duly sent on his was with the agreed ST tip (albeit with not much on top of that).  Funny thing is he’s one of those guys who just didn’t ‘get it’ as kept messaging me all thru the rest of the trip for a follow-up meet and making eye’s when I  saw him on stage in FB2 again.
I headed out bit later than planned and ended up in Hotmale after Kai spotted me wandering along the upper level near the beer bar, I suffered the last 10 mins of the show (he did promise me it was nearly finishing) and at some point I spotted a cute gogo in the seats waiting to get back on stage just as the fuck show was coming to an end.  My interest piqued I patiently waited and show ended & boys returned to stage (nice selection tbh), love their pants by the way, great patterns and look much smarter than the usual plan white…spotted said cute boy (footballers, swimmers type body) entering the stage and enquired with Kai about him who pronounced him to be a ‘very good boy’…and surprise surprise a Viet (the old Viet radar still working….lol).  The boy ‘B’ was a Top but Kai said ‘very good’ take care and as I’d just had a Bottom earlier in the evening this all seemed fine.  Called him over for a drink and immediately ‘B’ was very engaging, both our hands were wandering nicely and lots of squeezes / cuddles etc…all quite delightful.  Asked him what his preferred was, ST or LT and he actually requested LT (over-night) so Tip levels agreed up front (as he was a new one to me) we adjourned to a beer bar to relax followed by Kai’s approving eye as we headed for the door.
Few drinks and a late night dinner than back to State Tower, again the condo proved a success as ‘B’ loved the balcony also, taking pics sending them to his pals on Messenger and so on.
Warmed up on the sofa and then bit more action in the shower followed by some gymnastics on the bed exploring each other’s bodies, ‘B’ is quite an affectionate boy too once warmed up and we made some suitable puddles of Vitamin D…he was quite the gusher tbh before we retired to the showers and bed.  Dozed off holding each other and I think woke up late morning to him chilling on the balcony having a smoke & taking in the view again.  LT Tips dispensed along with some sincere hugs from him and the request to see me again he ambled off to the lifts and about his day...nice boy.
Day 3 (BKK)
Finally got my arse into gear around mid-day and headed for MBK to get my old S8+ un-locked and a new Thai SIM for the duration of my trip, after a bit of comparing prices on the 4th or 5th flr between shops settled on one and left the phone with them for 1 hour whilst they went to work on it.  Picked it up later after some more aimless wandering around (I’m not really a shopping person) and then headed to the movies and caught ‘Angel has Fallen’…it’s probably not going to win any academy awards but was worth a watch, Nick Nolte puts in a great performance as the grizzled dad.
Off for a haircut in that place with the red chairs that does a lot of the barboys (a friend showed me it a while ago)…think its Silom Soi 3? Opposite some massage place…bit tired and half dozed off in the chair and came around to find I had a Grade 1 pretty much all over (rather than a 2 on Top and 1 at sides)…hey ho lucky I like the ‘low maintenance’ look.
Back to the condo for a powernap & then headed out and hit Lucky boys early tonight…maybe was around 21:30 so Viet mama gave me a choice of seats and I ended up in the ‘snugs’ pretty much centre of the stage and with a perfect eye view of the candy….oh my 40+ guys on stage & more wandering around in their hot Black briefs (plenty of hotties).  Viet mama sensing my horned up status was gently nudging me to call a guy over but with I sipped my Vodka Sprite and waited patiently for the stage to go thru rotation, it’s kind of like lines or ranks of boys moving from rear to front in Luckyboys.  Then a familiar Viet face popped out at me as he got nearer the front, another of my regulars ‘B2’ who is like a pint sized muscle twink with a great six pack.  He spotted me when I walked in but I missed him at first as he was wearing a baseball cap.  Eye’s locked and that was it…Viet mama moved in for the kill and her laser pen was out pointing at him to which he ambled quickly off stage and to me.  Up close he looked even better tbh, still a very defined boy…had just got back to BKK after a spell at home in VN with the family.  Bit of catching up and then we quickly settled on an LT off but he doesn’t usually do overnight so we started early.
Asked B2 where he wanted to go and he chose Dream boys for the show, my first visit to the new club and quite impressed albeit I was pretty much the only farang face in there and it was busy.  Got a good couple of seats at the front after a former mama from Lucky recognized me, nice modern club and good layout, decent sightlines but that sound system is like DJ Station level and was really pumping loud which is fine with me but might not be to everyone’s tastes.  B2 enjoyed the show / coyotes so all good and tbh I didn’t mind it as the part we saw was free of the dreaded lip synch Lady boys.
After Dream boys we headed to the Khao San road for something different, somewhere I like to hang out a couple of times when I’m in BKK, always a great atmosphere and reminds me of my misspent youth traveling Thailand in my 20’s.  The guys seem to get a kick out of it too…but then you have clubs, music, drinks galore and food everywhere not to mention a lot of stalls so what young man would not.  We had a few beers in a club about halfway down the Khao San and it was definitely jumping, B2 is funny as he can’t drink more than 2 small beers before he turns red but he’s happy and relaxed so that’s the main thing.  Went for dinner at some Thai street food type place he chose but all good and in truth I’ve had some great meals in and around the Khao San over the last 20+ years.
About 01:00 headed back to Silom as I wanted to try catch ‘Handsome W’ in Screw boys as I was leaving BKK the next morning and would not be back for 1 week.  ‘B2’ and ‘W’ are friends so he was good with that but unfortunately when we got to Screw boys found out ‘W ‘ had a night off so we just had drinks and then headed back to State Tower.
Bit of lounging around the condo and then B2 pulled me into the shower as a ‘let’s get busy’ sign and game on from there, nice couple of leisurely sexy hours of pleasuring each other followed, another passionate guy who knows what we both enjoy...was really nice to re-make the connection again after 3-4 months away.  Think we called it a night around 05:00am, B2 does not usually sleep over as has funny sleep patterns in BKK which I fully understand…plus I had a taxi coming at 12:00 to take me to sin city the next day so all good.  Full LT Tip dispensed and he well deserved it tbh, great guy whom I fully intend to see again (watch his space!)
To be continued….
Next up 4 nights in Pattaya (that’s assuming the above hasn’t sent you all to sleep yet)

How recently was your visit ?  in the last month or so...or longer?  The guys numbers tend to vary as they go home for a bit & then come back.

Day 9 (Hanoi)
We both got up late morning, ‘B’ likes his 8 hours sleep but after that he’s usually up & running so a good companion on trips away.  After making use of the walk-in shower together and a bit of mild playtime, both felt hungry so went hunting for somewhere new for breakfast.  Just walked around until we spotted an interesting small restaurant.  Jesus the coffee in the North is nice but soooo STRONG.

Viet style breakfast for me and ‘B’ went for a kind of Pizza (made me smile ordering it for  brekkie but all good…keeps him happy) again just getting his foreign food fix whilst hanging out with me.  Very heavy rain showers last night so grabbed a large brolly from a local shop, think there was some type of storm passing thru VN at the time.
We just went for a wander around afterwards and found ourselves back at the Cathedral again which funnily enough had a Sunday service on, I suggest ‘B’ go in (get his RC fix) and I just lurked at the back watching proceedings…I doubt there’s enough time in those confession booths for me to run over my myriad of sins!  It was good for him as he went and sat down said a few prayers and dropped something in the donation box, think he took a couple of discreet pics too to keep the family at home happy.



Afterwards I queried if he wanted a haircut / style and being the former BKK boy he was got a prompt affirmative and we went back to our little street and found a small shop run but a bevy of cute Viet guys and with AC for me to cool down, was getting damn hot after the rain showers.  Gave me a chance to eye up his stylist (damn cute!!) and of course keeps ‘B’ happy.  He looks hotter with shorter hair imho, went for the classic Viet shaved sides and then bit more styled on top.
After about an hour & a few thousand Don later we headed off for an afternoon shower / nap.  I emerged from the shower to find him ‘pulling himself off’ (to use an English expression) buck naked on the couch…clearly feeling horny again so the towels went flying and I did my best to assist his aroused condition which ended up with a nice couple puddles of Vitamin D on his lovely 6 pack.   Have a feeling he was taking advantage of being away from the family to get as much sex as possible (probably difficult in a shared family home in Ha-Tinh I dare say)…who am I to object!
Great thing about the old quarter is there’s a lot you can see just by walking around on foot so a few hours later we headed out and went to the lake and just wandered around soaking it all up.  Seemed to be very popular place with the Vietnamese families on Sunday in general to go hang-out there (few pics below).




At some point ‘B’s brother (same mama) video called him from BKK, imagine his surprise when he clocked me wandering around Hanoi alongside him…lol.   The 3 of us have a funny relationship and it would take too long to explain here, but basically 1 of them pimped me out to the other years ago so we’re on fairly equal terms although younger brother does get a bit of the green eyed monster at times.
Dinner in the local restaurant in our street, then over to the Café by the cathedral for some Ice Cream smoothies and drinks on the Terrace, great place to hang-out at night…seems popular with the younger locals especially.
The day ended with us just wrapped around each other and both feeling relaxed & content.
Day 10 (Hanoi)
Kicked off the day with a Video call from ‘B’s family in Ha-tinh, his dad was online first and at some point I got asked to speak to him so I seem to have been ‘declared’ to them, I could see the family joining dad peeping at me so I guess our little trip to Hanoi had got some excitement back home.   ‘B’ seemed to be slowly drip feeding them the truth until today we were just both lounging around talking to them (with him translating for me).
After breakfast I suggested we go buy something for his dad so he had something to take home to him, think Dad asked for a ‘warm jacket’ at first and after a fruitless search of several shops with numerous offerings being rejected (his dad’s not into fake ‘The North Face’ jackets which seem to feature VERY heavily out there).  We then tried to find some local Tea and after a bit of a hunt and ‘B’ asking some locals for advice we ended up in a smaller / quieter street that seemed to have shops selling Tea / Coffee in bulk…quite interesting and the sort of place I would never found without ‘B’ helping me.
A couple of large packs / different types of Tea procured we headed off to lurk in the shade of a funky looking local coffee shop, coffee culture here could put some parts of East London to shame…lots of young Vietnamese just hanging out enjoying time together.
A pal of ‘B’ also from Ha-Tinh was on the bus to due to arrive later that day and wanted to meet up with him that night so we decided not to travel to far from base until he landed.  Said pal ‘Viet B2’ turned up late afternoon looking a tad hot and bothered after his journey, I remembered him from about 15 months ago in Screwboys (he’d gone home), another very handsome lad, polite and quite gregarious.  B2 ducked into the shower and came out later showing off his very nice footballers style upper body and washboard ABS, looked like he’d grown a bit since his bar days but very striking boy, he prowled around the condo a bit and nodded his approval to ‘B’.
So appears I’m entertaining 2 handsome Viet boys tonight…after a quick check both were hungry and we marched out looking for a restaurant, B2’s eyes were scanning everywhere, don’t think he’d stayed in the Old Quarter before.  I rashly told them to pick the restaurant for dinner, so after wandering a couple of streets B2 picked out some fairly upscale French / Viet place, the dinners looked like the more well-heeled end of Hanoi and we headed upstairs where there was more space. 
B2 was up for a beer which was good with me as B was on a dry month so my previous 2 days had been dry too and a drinking partner was welcomed.
Heineken’s duly emptied (rather rapidly) whilst B quaffed his shake and we ordered up another round, dinner arrived and to be fair was pretty damn amazing, really nice French / Viet fusion type dishes.  The boys ordered up some type of local sweet / sour soup too and it was game on, actually really nice just seeing them both chow down.

Asked the boys where they wanted to go after & both said Cathedral so off we went in search of more evening drinks and a nice Terrace to chill on, them of course doing their social media thing (good face for friends at home).  B2 was quite inquisitive asking about me either directly or via ‘B’, he said he remembered me from 15 months ago when he worked Screw-boys (I never offed him back then).  Got the feeling they were up to something and at some point over a 3rd or 4th round of Heinekens B2 looked at me coyly and then spoke to B in Viet, B then smiled and declared to me that quote ‘next time B2 go with you’…I nearly spluttered back up my last glug of Heineken…where the f**k did that come from then I thought?  They seem to have just decided it by themselves…lol (typically Viet).   Pimped out yet AGAIN!  Did get me smiling inside though…lol…did my best to look coy (very very badly).
B2 had to get back to his campus as studying in Hanoi so we bailed out early and headed back to the condo first, I left them to gossip a bit (probably plotting god knows what for me!).  B2 headed off to his campus after a nice hug and genuine thank you for the dinner, said he felt very happy with his friend…good enough for me.
Showered and then to bed with my horny guide whom I spent the next hour trying to satisfy and putting a dent in my supply of ‘Astroglide’.  Both dozed off feeling happy and relaxed I also got a nice thank you from ‘B’ for the evening before sleep, I just said no problem and I knew it was a special night for them both.

Vinapu, hats off for a great report (thank you) and in fact your stamina in general!  'Z' in particular sounds like a special one / good wingman for you, those types of guys can be hard to find that just enjoy time with us but also let us just be ourselves too!
