Not long now till I hit Bangkok again for a few days. Have done most of the big must do tourist sites and know soi twilight and the Silom massage places get talked about a lot. Would welcome thoughts on a few great things to do and see that are less known about. Both touristy and more naughty. And extending the footprint across the City. All thoughts welcome. Also very keen to do a lively Thai cookery course that's more focused on fun than becoming the next Raymond blanc or Mcdang. Thanks in advance for any advice.

A preface to begin… My last report covered a short 5 day visit to both Pattaya and Bangkok at the beginning of September. I returned to Bangkok in early October and it was the base camp as I went north to Chiang Mai for several days, back to Bangkok for a night, then to Laos (Vientiane and Luang Prabang) for a week, before heading back to Bangkok for two night and then home to California. Before getting too far along in the trip(s) report, I read over my September jottings and found this at the end of it: So much going on, a gaggle of Vietnam guys sharing go-go way stories and memories with J, S being the pater familias, N asking how I liked Jupiter’s show, true guys’ night out. Then N and friend left for show time, P gave me a big hug and kiss and said he had to go back to Fresh Boys for his show (S told me P gets paid more when he dances and appears in the show), I give P 1,000 baht as a going away thanks (sort of an “off without benefits” tip). T and I had discussed earlier before we got to HM bar that we wanted to make sure J and S had time together. So around 11 we headed out to the hotel. I had to be up by 4am to catch my plane so I packed, T made sure I was showered (I have never had so many showers in a 4-day span as I did this week). He cleaned up in the bathroom and “re-joined” me in bed. OMG what a confusing jumble. Too much code! J, S, N, P, HM, and T. Thanks, Numazu, for identifying yourself as “N” and making me realize this is a trip report not a quadratic equation (which I could no longer solve, if I even remembered how). I put off writing when I returned and procrastinated; first because I was jet lagged (still am slightly); second, waiting on Numazu’s reports; and, finally, asking myself if I really had anything to say and could do it without code. I've made some forum postings, one on Prince was fairly detailed, another on the Tarntawan was also involved and then had lots of follow up reply and comment postings. Then Ya, of Siam Roads, who was my guide in Chiang Mai and Laos asked for feedback that if favorable he could use on the tour company website. (He must have liked them as I’ve found my words posted on two other sites). So, the plan is to write a report on the arrival nights in Bangkok and the time in Chiang Mai. Then extend the reporting to touch on the one night back in Bangkok which went as wrong as possible, comment on Laos (few boys/no boys), and the pit stop in Bangkok on my way home. Installment #1 later today.

Background In the past, the few trips I have had to Bangkok was with a friend, a str8 friend. At that time, I have practically no idea of what Thailand is famous for (its massages & sex-related industry) ‘cos we usually shop, eat, drink & occasionally enjoy Thai foot massages. Introduction This was my first solo trip to Bangkok. After I bought the air ticket & book the hotel, I started to panic. Although I knew I wanted to visit gay massage venues & gogo bars, I am at a loss of how to go about doing it. There are tons of information on the web and I try my best to do my research & made a summary. Fortunately, DivineMadman came to my rescue. I was pleasantly surprised when he offered to meet up with me & visit selected massage venues & gogo bars. I am so thankful that I dun have to wander around like a lost puppy (or a madman … if u will) trying to find the massage venues, select a suitable boy for massage, know the proper gogo bar “etiquette” etc. He was kind enough to accompany me for 2 days & I felt so much more confident about venturing out alone on the 3rd & 4th day. His Google location map titled ““Bangkok Massage Venues” came in very handy. Day 1 Hotel Debacle Arrived at Glitz Hotel at 1.30pm for 2 nights superior room. It is situated along the main road, next to the bar that I fancy a lot i.e. Tawan Bar. It is a very small hotel, with 14 rooms in total (room type : standard, superior, deluxe; in simpler terms : small, medium or large room), has 4 floors with no elevator. Had an issue with this hotel ‘cos I was told that I could only stay for 1 night & the hotel was fully booked for the 2nd night, & due to double booking I had to shift to another “better” hotel (they first suggested Om Yim and on refusal, they suggested Bed by City Surawong Hotel the next day). The lady boss accompanied me to the “better” hotel in the 2nd day morning, view the room & pleaded many times but I have to say no. Finally, in a soft tone, I told them that if I am forced to move to a bad location, my review for this hotel will not be good. They then left me alone to continue my itinenary & finalize it at noon … give me the option of shifting to a standard but smaller room & I accepted it. The bed at the standard room makes a squeaking sound each time I turn my body, otherwise it is fine. In hindsight, had they been more polite & better at communicating their problem, I would have obliged. When I first check-in & heard that I had to move to another hotel, I was puzzled and trying to find out exactly how this happened. One of their staff said something to me “... You dun understand English is it?” (I think he is asking if I understand the meaning of double booking) and I am taken aback. When I try to explain it is not logical that my Agoda booking for 2 nights was a month ago & during my booking, the web info shows that there are at least 2 or 3 more rooms left. I asked if they understand what I am trying to say. Another staff replied “I understand English. Are you trying to say I am stupid?”... Bad choice of words & communication ... I might be wrong but I suspect that I am being singled out to force to accept the inconvenience ‘cos I dun look demanding. But to be fair, on the 1st night, they did upgrade me to the deluxe / large size room. So downgrading to a smaller room on the 2nd night even things out. My FB friend/buddy commented on the deluxe room photos I posted & said that the room looked rundown (actually not really true, though the room is not at its pristine condition, I am OK with it) … haha … that’s ‘cos he usually stay at Princess Pathumwan Hotel. But since there is no one to split the hotel expenses with me, I have to opt for a cheaper hotel & also at a more convenient location. Arena Spa Went there at 3:00pm. Arena is located in Silom Plaza (even local Thai may not know where it is) not Silom Complex. But it is just a short walk from Chong Nonsi BTS. The location map found in Arena’s FB site was misleading. The map found in this forum is accurate:- http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/8657-arena-spa-and-massge-in-gay-bangkok/ The current lounge area is half as big as the old Arena. About 25 - 30 topless guys, age ranging from 2x to 3x yo, crammed in front of me, putting on broad smiles, flexing their muscles, some even gave me the come hither look. I was told there will be more boys (50?) later at around 6pm. I wonder where are they going to stand if there are that many… possibly within arm’s reach . I asked the person serving me who has more years of experience and he just say “all very good” … a non-reply ... With so many pairs of eyes staring at me, I felt uneasy and had to quickly pick one that smile at me. I picked a guy called “Mac” 26yo, masculine, who smile at me with the broadest smile (possibly a little too broad), has a sun-tanned lean muscular body, speak conversational English, for 1.5hr (790 bht; min. tip 1000bht) oil massage. Mac was from Uniman. Told me that he is divorced with 2 children and that now he like guys … I think he should be about 30yo & str8. Though I requested a strong massage, he delivered a medium strength massage with excessive oil & with limited strokes. I think his focus was on the afters. Suffice to say, he was quite verbal during the afters (rate 8/10) & definitely has the stamina for long session. Due to my limited techniques, I didn’t manage to make him cum. Anyway, customer cums first and that is the most important rule. Overall, I am sufficiently satisfied (rate 7/10) though I have to deduct points for the massage part (5/10). Tip 1,200, asked for 1,500, finally settled at 1,300. Because of his request, it makes me wonder if I had under tipped & question the real definition of min. tip for Arena Spa. GoGo Bars - X-Size & HotMale Meet up with DivineMadman at Maxis bar for a drink (79bht for beer) at 7pm. We had a good chat as he gave me a brief lecture of the GoGo bars in this Soi. While chatting, we also did not forget to keep a watchful eye at the boys from Bangkok Massage, Bonny Massage & those who is walking into this lane. It seems Bangkok & Bonny has the same “uniform” for the boys i.e. a low-cut singlet that accentuate their pecs & a skimpy tight shorts that draws attention to their bubble butt. Shouldn’t they try to distinguish themselves by wearing something different? The gogo bar opposite of Maxis should actually do something about their exterior appearances. From the outside when I walked past or looked in, I thought it is a kitchen. They should have decorated their walls something similar to Fresh Boys or at least put an obvious signboard that says the name of the bar. It just look uninteresting to me. We visited X-Size (drinks 360bht) & HotMale (380). Drink fees were being paid upon leaving. It seems the client has the option of coming into the bars, look at the boy selection for a brief moment before deciding whether to stay & order a drink. There is no such option for Tawan bar whereby you can sneak a quick peek at their boys without paying the entry fee. I must say that X-Size consists of mostly twinkish, barely-legal, fresh from the village kind of boys who doesn’t know what to do on stage & just stand motionless & stare at you. There were like only 2 other customers when we entered at around 9:15pm. Immediately, we were surrounded by 2 mamasans. DivineMadman, being the experienced one, draw their attention by flirting with them in Thai & in English, bought them drinks, and tip them. It was less awkward for me as I dunno how to handle the situation. But we did not wait for X-Size show to start before we bar hop to HotMale. Before going up to the 2nd floor to HotMale, DivineMadman spotted Paulsf at the drink bar below and exchanged pleasantries. Apparently, Paulsf is a big supporter of HotMale & he is literally a resident at HotMale bar. The bar was about half-full. We both agree that the setup / boy-on-stage arrangement is much better in HotMale. In HotMale, before the show starts, coyote dancers are stationed at the 4 corners of the stage, constantly doing simple body movements & dances in a sexy fashion while the boys stand in the middle, albeit more body movement & with more facial expression as compared to the X-Size boys. I think one of the dancers is quite good looking with a toned body as compared to their boy selection. If asked to pick, I will choose one of the mamasan’s assistant who is dressed in blue tight shirt & who is more masculine & muscled. I like the show and didn’t expect it to last so long with so many segments. Initially, I thought the big cock show was with fake dicks … ‘cos they all looked so big & a few of the boys seemed to have dicks that come from the same mould. I wonder if DivineMadman would agree if I have sufficient grounds to inspect the boys’ dick based on my suspicion that they were wearing fake dicks . The 2nd last performance was a acrobatic fuck show; the bottom was dressed like a ladyboy & acted very fem-ly. Fuck show is back for now & it seems to be a big deal, but I am not really a fan of it. The last performance had a solo guy sitting on a chair with the lights dimmed. I was wondering what was happening. I didn’t realized that the guy was masturbating. And when he is ready to shoot, the room brighten, spot lights on the guy at the stage centre and I saw cum spurting out (hence confirmed it is not a fake dick). I was wondering why they didn’t bother to collect tips before the guy cums. No tips for the poor guy who cum. With the exception of paulsf, no one seems to give tips to anyone, … possibly, like me, like to remain inconspicuous, doesn’t like to walk up in front of the boys and pass them the 100bht. I am also not used to waving the dollar note at them. We left after the JO show at 11:30pm. As I was feeling rather tired, I called it a night. Whereas, DivineMadman went for a late night session at Bangkok Massage.

Hey fellow Thailand-lovers! I am back here in Paradis for about 10 days! Spent a few days in Bangkok upon arrival over the weekend as usual. Had a chance to visit Hero twice. Counter to some other recent reports on the forum's here I found both the massage and extra services to be just as awesome and reliable as usual. It was clear however that business is quite low for Hero right now; the waiting area almost empty at peak time on both Friday and Sunday and they've shut off the hot water for all the showers which isn't great given the strong A/C. Luckily I had two different handsome studs make feel quite warm and fuzzy and left extremely happy on both occasions. I am now in Pattaya where the same quality of masseurs regrettable are not available but instead I am enjoying the thriving scene of Boys Town with BoysBoysBoys still putting on the best shows of its kind in the Kingdom. Predominantly Chinese customers for the show, leaving all the potential offs for us few farangs (no complaining). Visted Walking street yesterday to nuture also my interest in cute Thai ladies but that street is so overrun with tour-groups from China these days that I quickly made my way back to safe-haven BT. I won't make as lengthy and explicit reports this time as I am finding myself short on time in this relaxing place! About to head-off to BBB in BT again where there is a very handsome tall and fit thai boy with an extraordinary appendage (no 72) who I will check out further if all goes well...

I'm preparing my first visit to Thailand and would like to stay about a week : a few days in Bangkok and a few in Pattaya. Where should I spend the weekend : in Bangkok or Pattaya?

Well I should hopefully be able to book my trip within the next week or two, just wanting to tie up one more loose end first, still looking at October for a couple of weeks. I really miss having massages and the extras that follow, this time I will be flying in from a different route and that will get me in to Bangkok mid afternoon rather than the evening so I will be booking a massage at Bonny (4 hands with two tops, have been in touch with them by email about making an advance booking when I get to Bangkok) to start my trip off with a bang. I will also be revisiting Hero for my usual good time there and will also visit Adonis, closer to the end of the trip though, as I like the idea of one their hung boys give it to me good (I should be loosened up nicely by then).

Hey everyone! Hope y'all doing good. Been a long time since i posted here (even though i'm lurking almost daily.) For the first time in almost 2 years, i will have around a 10 days of vacation next month and i'm planning on going to Pattaya/Bangkok (living in Chiang Mai right now but the gay scene here is at the moment 70% dead.... really boring.) The last month have been a very difficult one for me (my friend died at full moon party because she got stung by jellyfish, uncle died, boyfriend left, etc) so i'm basically looking to meet new people, change place and try to have some fun. The last time i been in Pattaya was in 2013 so i guess alot of things changed since then. I have a budget of around 25-35k baht (hotel/transportation paid.) Basically, what i would like to do is: - Meet with other people and make new friends around a good beer or a good meal (preferably foreigners since it's more easy to talk about a variety of things and our love for thai guys). - Organize a party somewhere - Meet twinks fem thai type boys (not too feminine though...) Ya that's basically that. I mainly would love to meet new friends and socialize and meet twinks thai boys. So if anyone of you in either Bangkok - Pattaya - Phuket have any suggestions (go-go, bars, spa, whatever) please let me know. Thanks!

Hi, I am going to Bangkok and my flight arrives very late on Thursday (around 23:30). I don't want to spend a meaningless night at hotel, so I am thinking of going to a sauna to sleep there after midnight Does Men factory or Mania seem safe to sleep there? Advice or suggestion please.

Hi all, My first post but I've been reading a gay thai board on and off for four years or so, and have been to Thailand about six times now. Will be there again in 2014. UK discreet guy mid 30s in shape go to BKK for a mix of business and pleasure, i'm top/vers, like asian twinks of course but also westerners. easy going so get in touch if u like. I guess I want to have more fun! not just Babylon but more experiences i can't get elsewhere... also would like to meet BKK expats into the same stuff as this board , good (value) restaurants, street food, hot sex and massages, culture, ... be more social whereas i'm usually solo traveller who doesn't meet up with people enough. Brief trip report here of bits from the last few trips, unsolicited but i'd be so interested in any replies and advice. thanks. - Babylon is fun... like to wear a speedo under the towel, sit on the loungers by the pool, read for a while and ogle the eye candy... the coconut shakes are so good and maybe an occasional beer. I am average build usually but tend to diet in the spring so am slim and smooth. Haven't had any trouble meeting guys there. Have met some really nice types - one from singapore on holiday, one from philippines on holiday, some educated Thai guys... good chats over a drink and often fun after, and a couple of times walk back to my hotel for sleep and more fun in the morning. One or two are on touch on email. Best sauna I have ever been to... love the decoration and ambience. All is civilised, clean, good value. I always have a massage,just an oil one for an hour, prefer no hanky panky, just quite hard pressure. I can't help getting hard though sometimes, but part of the fun. - Tried Grindr last visit (Sep 13) which i dont do at home. Amazing - loads and loads of guys on there. with some filtering there are nice guys and cute. Love that it is location based and so u can even find guys in same hotel, altho chances are they are not my type or age range. i met a cute HK boy age 24, went for a drink and he came back to my hotel, the Ambassador, more below about the hotel. Hot fun he was twinky btm and i am more top so we enjoyed ourselves in the traditional way... (i fucked him in every possible way) happy face Never sat down at Telephone, Balcony etc - advice please! Happy to chat to boys and expats to see where it leads.. Restaurants - i am far too conservative, rarely try street food but want to, splash too much money on indian curry or italian food eg 750-1000B which might be ok value in UK but is too much in BKK. My fave place tho is the Bee Garden Cafe under the Skytrain at the corner between Chong Nonsi and Sala Daeng. Can be a bit hot but fans, lights, ice cold beers, extensive menu and very tasty thai food. I like the soups, curries, sometimes seafood, free peanuts and the banter of the owner and his waiters, who know me by sight now. I always am reading (a book not the tablet) and he asks what it is sometimes. He remembered what i had been reading last year. Is 70-100B for large beer I think, 100-200B for food dishes which are large and one with rice is plenty for a meal. You watch the world go by - traffic, sky trains, tourists... Before or after I wander through the street market towards Sala Daeng. Occasional DVD I can't resist; I marvel at the sex toys they have and am amused/alarmed by the tourist families with children who pass them... Mummy, what's that pink thing for? Recommend Luigi's near Asok BTS - cosy, delicious Italian food. Also I've had some great dishes at various places in Siam Square Paragon Food Mall. I know it's a tourist trap with high prices for BKK but I can't believe the range. There was a good Indian near Asok on Sukh Road, south side, in 2009-2012 but i could not find it in 2013. any ideas or recommendations for indian restaurants? I've had good Thai curries and beers on those market streets between the river and Khao San Road - not sure what they are called. Great value, good people watching, free wifi. u know the places? Please recommend (a) safe tasty fun street food places where I can sit and read and try a variety of things (not the small stools, proper chair!) (b) any other good value non-Thai restaurants in the centre-ish © maybe even places where i can start chatting to fellow diners : ) or cute boys : ) i'm quite sociable, promise Hotels - Ambassador, I really like. Yes it's a bit fading and not trendy but it's huge, good value, good wifi (Tower block only), nice pool, OK gym, anonymous - can bring joiners no probs. Great location - soi 11, Sukhumvit, with supermarket 50m away and great nightlife nr soi 11 - the cocktail buses are fun, and quite lethal! Aussie bar, Thai food, good laundry, travel agent, two Indians, diner just a few steps away in the soi, and Nana BTS is under 200m away. - Trinity Glow Silom was good, nice rooftop pool. Heritage on same soi Convent (?) was fine too - have not tried apartment yet - would you recommend? I tend to stay for 7-10 days at a time with a week away elsewhere in Asia between BTS - love it. use it all the time. Metro also. and airport link is excellent. Massages - Bablyon ones are the best real massages i've had - went to Banana about four years ago... fun but in the end the boy said i was too big and could not take it... :- ( - Hero have been to once, fine I think and i got to top the boy : ) - i really want a good thorough physical thai massage (no ending) but also separately sometimes up for a fun one with a cute boy. ive never had four hands so would like to try that. any recommendations? Pattaya - stayed for three days in 2012. enjoyed but didn't seem the pleasure paradise i had heard about! i prob didn't know where to go. This was pre Grindr obvs lots of expats around, which is cool but i didn't get to chat to any. could go again this year... u recommend? Koh Samui - love this island and go for 4-7 days when i can. no fun* but just relaxation, beach, coconuts, hiring a moped and zipping aroudn the island... bliss *except one night i had this 20ish boy called Am who worked in a gay bar on the main strip in Chaweng. Fun.. This is all i can remember at the moment but all feedback welcome also into 2nd hand bookshops (Sukhm and Khao San Rd good for these), dinner parties, conversation, drinks, fun... get in touch if you like All advice and contact welcome! tom

My first trip report to Bangkok and Phuket (08-Feb – 03-Mar 2013) Hello guys. I am a fairly new member and I would like to write about my first trip report to the LOS. It is from last February, 2013 – but I need this practice with this board to learn how all of this works as I will have my 2nd trip back to Thailand in December. Practice makes perfect. Background – I was sent by the organization that I work for to go to Bangladesh and then to Thailand in February. I had never been to Asia before and I did not know that this board existed – so I arrived very unprepared – so my first trip report is not as exciting as others that I have read here – but now that I am a new member since September and well read – I hope to maximize my next trip to LOS thanks to all of your great stories and advice. So this trip report is my thank you back to all of you for making this board great. 08 Feb I arrived from Dhaka to BKK and I stayed in the Riva Surya in the Pranakorn section of Bangkok. This is the area near the Chao Phraya River and beginnings of the famous Khao San road are. I was with work colleagues – so we just did the usual touri things; eating from the street vendors, looking at all of the shops, checking out the millions of tourists and backpackers, having some cocktails together, and getting a massage (clean – I was with heterosexual colleagues) from a very aggressive Thai massage lady. Weekend of 09 and 10 Feb – hung out with work colleagues and we visited the nearby attractions, including; Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha, Wat Arun, Floating Market, etc. – no free time to venture out to check out the gay scene – even though I was itching to get there even though it was on the other side of Bangkok. “Good things cum to those who demonstrate patience” – I think my mom used to say something like that to me when I was a kid. Week starting Monday 11 Feb was my first free day, as my work colleagues left and I was alone to discover the “gay zone”. I did not yet know about these gay boards, so I was totally lost, so I started with the gay massage places as I did not yet know what a go-go bar was. I ventured out to Jey Spa (now closed), once I figured out how to use the Chao Phraya River Express boat system to reach the BTS Skytrain so I could reach Sukhumvit. Very confusing to a first-timer, but I eventually got it after getting lost, confused and asking the smiling Thais to help me. I entered the Jey Spa which was in a beautiful house. The manager greeted me and gave me a tea and some water, as he saw that I was nervous. Then he gave me a picture book so I could pick out my 2 massage guys – as I had ordered a 4-hand massage. It was very exciting. I needed his help to know who was there working and who was not, and who worked well together. Once we made the choice, he introduced me to the 2 guys and then they brought me upstairs for a shower and to start the massage. For the first 60 minutes I laid on my stomach and they massaged me in a synchronized way from my head to my feet. It was complete ecstasy. Then they told me to turn over and they worked my chest, legs, groin and then the “happy ending” zone – taking turns alternating on the 3rd leg. I had to stop them several times as I could not imagine how to make this last the remaining 60 minutes (it was a 2 hour massage). They let me touch them and to play with them. The more sexy guy, asked me to not make him cum as he told me that he had to perform that night and he invited me to come and see the show. But being new to all of this, I did not yet understand about the famous Twilight street – so I spared him having to have an orgasm that he would need to have later that night for the show. They were both sexy. After about 40 minutes, I lost the battle to resist, and they won, as the “happy ending” arrived. I took a shower, went downstairs and paid the 1,200 to the house and then 1,000 to each of the guys. The cost for this wonderful massage, 3,200 (approx.. 75 euros) would have cost at least 4 times as much in the EU country where I live – great value for money. During the evening I discovered the Silom Soi 2 and Soi 4 areas – enjoying drinks at the Telephone and Balcony bars and then eating there across the street and watching the exciting first timer eye candy sights. Then off to DJ to dance the night away. In hindsight I was so sad to find out from this board that there is so much more going on but I did not know it (the off boys, the other streets – especially Twilight – did not know it even existed). Anyway I had fun. Then later in the week a nice guy that I had met in Dhaka was staying in Pattaya and he surprised me by coming to Bangkok and we hung out the rest of the week doing all of the touri things and having a great time in the HUGE shopping malls and the shock of visiting the MBK shopping centre – where I almost had an orgasm at seeing all of the various Italian fashion clothes, Gucci, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, etc at 1/3 the price we find them in the EU - I could not believe it. Then my Bangladesh friend, much more aware then me about “fakes” made me understand that the majority of what I saw in MBK were copies. Anyway, I went on a shopping spree just to be able to bring back many new clothes to wear them back home (unfortunately after a couple of months back in the EU – realized that many of the clothes that I bought were already falling apart or not just keeping their shape). It was great while it lasted. Our routine for the entire week was shopping, resting, eating, hanging out on the Soi 2 and 4 and dancing until DJ station would close and having a blast and having sex and occasionally being romantic. Then on 18 Feb my Bangla friend had to return to Dhaka and I flew off on Bangkok Airways to Phuket and I booked myself in the Blue Dolphin Guest House, which is in the heart of Patong in the Paradise Complex where all of the gay action and fun is. Not to bore all of you with the details of this guest house, here is a link to a Trip Advisor review that I wrote about my fun stay there. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserRevi ... huket.html I chose the Blue Dolphin because it is in the Paradise Complex – but 2 streets away from the main noise – which is good for sleeping. In addition, this place is attached to a great massage centre where everyday after the day at the gay beach I took a great cream massage to cool down the sun burn and to relax all of the legs…..The guys are great and the managers, Bill (French) and Kim, helped me every day to choose the massage guys – but by the end of the week I knew enough of them that I could manage by myself as they often hung out in front of the hotel where you can chat and/or have a drink with them. I hope that I have not bored you yet….. Fun at the gay Patong beach. There were many Russians when I was there (18 Feb – 02 Mar) and I met one particular couple in the water. I had a daily habit to swim out to the end of the swim area where there are the ropes with the big floaties to keep them up and I used to sit on them to stay afloat and to watch the scene. On this one particular day, I saw these 2 sexy Russians hunting this super-sexy guy who looked Italian (but later found out he was from Cyprus) [i wanted so bad to have sex with the Cyprus guy but I did not qualify as I don’t have the muscles that he looks for as I have an average to slightly athletic body]. They managed to circle around him near me, and they started to touch him, stroke him, kiss him and then eventually pulled off his bathing suit in a discreet way (nudity is prohibited in Thailand) and started to do almost everything. I was so turned on to go and join them but I got scared and just swam near them and then away. It was broad daylight and too out in the open for me to join them but at the same time very exciting to watch. Then the next day at the beach, these same 2 Russian guys started swimming around me and then started the same things to me but I was not in the deep end and more in the center of the open beach in the water. They kept pulling me up out of the water to put their mouth on the 3rd leg and after 15 minutes of this I swam away because it caused a lot of attention and many other guys started coming near us in the water and again it was too open in broad daylight and too close to the shoreline – but again – very exciting. Met a sexy Thai guy on GR and we hung out for 2 days. He got me out of the gay zone on his motorcycle to see the country side of Phuket which is VERY nice and he took me to some very nice secluded beaches. But – these trips were always included with his neighbor and her son – who was about 7 years old. After the 2nd day of this, I realized that they were trying to look for a “new” daddy for this boy – because the women had gotten pregnant from an Australian guy who promised to bring them to Australia – and when he returned to Australia – he did not search for them anymore. So, they were hoping that I could somehow adopt the women’s son. I was very slow to pick up on what was going on and by the 2nd to 3rd day I became very affectionate with the boy as we would spend hours in the water playing “father and son” kinds of games. Being gay myself, I had never thought of having children and this experience temporarily woke up that desire to be a father that we have in some of us. By the 3rd day, I explained to the guy that I met from GR that I could not do this anymore and I split. I felt really bad – but this was not what I was looking for from my first vacation in Asia. I made sure to leave them some $assistance$ before running away back to my gay Patong life, as I hoped that they would put it towards the boys future. Who knows? Was I scammed?? By the way, the GR guy and I had some great sex when we were alone. Almost done guys…. Then on 02 March – I flew back to BKK on Bangkok Airways to return to the Riva Surya hotel in Pranakorn, Bangkok. It was just easier for me to stay there as I had left the luggage from the Bangladesh leg of my trip at their hotel. So, what should I do on my last day in BKK? I decided to venture out to the fantastic Guy Spa, near the Asoke BTS station. I walked in and they offered me a tea and some water and instead of giving me a picture book to select the massage guy(s) they showed me a plastic covered menu – where I had to pick my treatment package, preferred oil (sniffing each one), length of time and then guy(s). This is where it became interesting. The manager blew a whistle and around 12 sexy guys stood in front of me and I had to choose 2 for my 2 hour 4 hand massage. I became so shy and embarrassed – that I did not manage and I asked the manager to assist me. I was not used to being in a human meat market. I need more courage – hopefully this board will give it to me. I told him that it was important that the 2 guys worked well together. The 10 that were not chosen were sad that I (we) did not pick them. I felt bad for 10 seconds and then got over it. They are all just so cute and sexy all yelling “pic me”. Then the 2 guys returned with a big wooden bucket full of warm water topped with rose petals. Each one of them removed my sneakers and socks and began to perform a foot scrub and massage in the reception area. Then they dried my feet and asked me to follow them upstairs. I felt like such a Prince. The room upstairs was incredible – it was big with a Jacuzzi on one side and a Thai massage bed on the other. The put me in the middle and undressed me – they would not allow me to undress myself. Then they brought me to the Jacuzzi to wash me while I stood up – with 1 on either side of me. It was great. Then they dried me and brought me to the bed and began to massage me (I was laying down on my stomach). Instead of the synchronized 4 hand I got in Phuket, they instead worked on different zones (head and shoulders) and (ass, legs and feet). They did this for 60 minutes and it was complete heaven. Then they turned me over and instead of alternating the working of my 3rd leg, only 1 guy did that while the other guy massaged the rest of my body. Of course I had to stop the 1 guy every so often to keep from having a premature “happy ending”. The one working my third leg let me play with him while the 2nd guy was too far away to allow me to conveniently play with him. Just like in Phuket, after about 40 minutes I could no longer resist the “happy ending”. Around this time the 2nd guy disappeared to the other side of the room to fill up the Jacuzzi while the 1st guy cleaned me off and eventually brought me over to the Jacuzzi where they asked me to immerse myself in the nice hot foamy water where one sat behind me and the other in front of me and they washed me for the remainder of the time. It was complete heaven. Then they dried me off and dressed me. Then back downstairs to pay the tab and to drink some tea and water as I was very dehydrated after the royal treatment. Price was more or less as in Phuket and for a massage like this in such a beautiful room in the EU, it would have cost at least 500 euros – so again, great value for your money in the LOS. This concludes my first trip report. I will write another one (more timely) after (or during) my next visit in December and January to BKK, Chaing Mai, Koh Samui, and Pattaya. Thanks, Martin
