Day 0 (lol) Travel Day. Flight leaving Denver was 30 minutes late. Not totally unexpected, as most things landing and taking off at Denver are always delayed. Same for San Francisco. Total of 20 hours confined on a flying tin can, plus an additional six hours in layovers. Draining experience to say the least. I moved to Denver from the SF Bay Area a few years ago and at that time the SF airport had completed their new international terminal and the older terminal buildings were undergoing renovation. Was somewhat of a surprise to find the airport once again undergoing some reno projects. Made for a very long walk from arrival gate to international departure gate. At least it did not require leaving a secure area so no need to pass through security checkpoint again. Next stop Taipei. It has been many years since I have flown through Taipei for anything…probably 20 or more. Back then it was still called Chiang Kai-Shek International and consisted of two main terminal buildings. Now we are Taiwan Taoyuan International with terminals A, B, C, and D. Naturally, our arrival was in Terminal D and the new departure gate was in A…thus another very long walk. Certainly got my steps in on this trip. Change in carrier from United to EVA. Was reminded once on board EVA how much better the Asian carriers do at customer service and the food was pretty amazing. US carriers in general are just bad all around…in my humble opinion…by comparison. Somewhere between Denver and Bangkok I completely lost one day. Wednesday just ceased to exist. Arrival was 10:30am Thursday morning. In my previous trips to visit with my Thai friends, they always had me arrive late in the evening between 11pm and midnight. Not sure why they always preferred that…possibly work and family schedules…but the late arrival always messed up my internal body clock and I had a terrible time adjusting for a few days. Since I was not planning to depend on them for this trip, I scheduled my arrival for mid-morning and I have learned that is much better. Will definitely do that again. Arrival was on time, immigration/customs was a breeze, and I didn’t need to wait on my checked bag. I had completed the new online entry form prior to departure in Denver and printed it out. Went through the priority line for seniors with no wait whatsoever. My luggage was on the carousel before I got there, probably because of the distance I had to walk from the arrival gate to baggage claim. These airports are so huge nowadays. Thanks to recommendations from forum members, I had pre-booked with SP Limousine Service. They provided very detailed info via email about where to meet their contact person, and it was seamless. I think the entire process from deplaning to getting in the reserved car and on the freeway heading to my hotel was only 45 minutes! I was amazed…and grateful. Other than the travel duration, in general the trip was long and tiring but uneventful. Day 1 Bangkok Thanks to the many posts and recommendations from forum members, I decided to step outside of my normal comfort zone. After all, this trip was all about me and having some fun…not spending time with my friends and their families. Naturally, traffic from Suvarnabhumi to Silom was horrendous, so even though my entry to Thailand was smooth sailing, it was probably 1pm before arriving at Ibis Styles Silom. Overall first impression was it was new, modern, and staff was all very friendly and helpful. Check-in was easy and I was given a room on the 5th floor. As per previous comments on the forum, rooms are definitely on the small side. Since I have never stayed in a hotel here before, I really have nothing to compare it to. For me, it’s fine, but with two persons for a week I imagine it would be very cramped. View out the window was a bit unusual. My room overlooked the back which was mostly low income family residences. Lots of small, pieced together buildings mostly of steel siding and roofs or fiberglass. Just not something I expected to see in the middle of Bangkok. I would have thought some developer would have bought up all of that property and built another shopping mall or high rise. However, it did make for some interesting people watching. To be honest, I wasn’t really planning on much excitement the first day in BKK assuming I would be exhausted. Those plans quickly changed. Based upon several recent posts on the forum about using apps and how successful some members were, I decided to add Grinder to my phone. While I did not post a photo, I was pretty honest about age and appearance. It was like my phone was blowing up! From the time I checked in to my hotel until my first ‘date’ was about 4.5 hours. 27 year old, originally from Surin, twink, very dark complexion and a real cutie. Just getting off work at 5pm…where was I staying…could be here by 5:30pm via BTS…could we please meet. I simply couldn’t refuse. Met in the lobby then went up to my room. No issues with front desk at all. Nobody said anything. Took a shower together and then had some playtime or as I like to say…did the wild thing. Decided to go upstairs to the rooftop and checkout the pool, bar, and fitness areas. Enjoyed some liquid refreshment and ordered some dinner at the bar. Nice evening enjoying the Bangkok skyline from the outdoor seating area, food was good, although a little on the spicy side for me, and pleasant company. Nice conversation over dinner, and then back to the room for round 2. He headed home around 10pm. I didn’t invite as I really was completely wore out by then and ready to just crash. Oh, and not a MB. All in all, a great first day and I surprised myself at being so adventurous. Certainly helped with the jet lag to stay up and active until 10pm. Had to turn my phone to silent. Went right to sleep and other than a couple of trips to the bathroom during the night (normal routine) slept soundly until morning. Woke up refreshed, hungry, and ready for more experiences.

Day 1 He was losing the battle. Talking to him daily by video call on WhatsApp for last 3 weeks I could see him getting weaker and weaker and our talk was shorter and shorter. Even if he kept his mental faculties intact he was losing strength inch by inch. His last words I heard were ‘ thank you ‘ presumably unfinished ‘ thank you for a call “ . And then next morning message from wife “ he left us last night”. Even if I’m quarter of world away I knew that I need attend his funeral , simply because I felt I owe it to him and his family I was so close to for that last 44 years. Fact that we were the same age , to a month, was kind of warning signal ‘ you are somewhere in the line man”. Is not easy to get last minute decent prized flight but Guardian Angel was on my side I found one although requiring stay there over one week past funeral date, option I was not keen on for few reasons. Then moment of enlightenment came ‘ see if you can find something to Bangkok for that week”. After all I was to be half way there already. An hour later I had a ticket for some obscure airlines, Pegasus and Air Arabia, carry on up to 6 kg and food for purchase only but price was right. And since I travel light anyways it was not obstacle. That way instead of January of 2027 or perhaps even 2029 I found myself landing in Swampy mid Nov of 2024 via Istanbul and Sharjah. For those who are curious about those dates -my August trip was partially disappointing and I did not have any immediate plans to return any time soon as result. But lets be honest , if one is stressed and want to get away from it all while looking for calm and consolation there’s no better place than Bangkok urban jungle , at least not for me. Arrival at 4.30 pm was very convenient, immigration was a breeze, weather quite pleasant and rates in the exchange kiosks by the train station quite digestible. It was already darkening when I walked from Sala Daeng to Red Planet, my hotel for first 2 nights. Budget option but recent price raises of BKK hotels were substantial so I decided to look for cheaper options this time. Room was on smaller side but had all amenities one needs, AC and safety deposit box were working , everything was clean and bathroom was of proper size, one can say almost as big as room itself. Only thing in short supply is place to hang your stuff , only 3 hangers provided but since I travel light , I managed anyways. Best thing about Red Planet is discretion. Reception is on 2nd floor so it means when coming to the room alone or with somebody one bypasses it entirely, the same like in Raya. No breakfast provided but on ground floor facing street there’s 7/11 and walk to Foodland is not that long. At 9 to Foodland to eat something , soon reader showed up since I reported to him my arrival from the train . After sharing news we parted ways and I went to Hot Male but S was sitting with somebody who looked is serious about offing him but was nice enough to allow him to come and shake hands. Seeing that I don’t source any consolation there after finishing my beer I went to Jupiter , at mouth of soi enthusiastically greeted by Guido, owner of G’Bangkok restaurant and both barkers from Banana across the soi. At Jupiter I wanted to check one guy strongly recommended to me by one of our members and I spotted him immediately , impressive indeed and 127.48 % of my type. Soon there was walkabout so I gave him red note but during second walk he did not even look at my side so I abandoned an idea of approaching him tonight. I have my rules but it needs to be said , he impressed me indeed so no hard feelings. Modern technology helped as my phone buzzed. Hoping it was S I went to bathroom and indeed it was him saying he is free already. Soon we met in Foodland and after a meal we walked to Red Planet. On corner of soi 6 K from Tawan eyed me and asked for a tip so I gave red note to him resolving at the same time to skip that bar this trip entirely. S is rock sold quality and performance so indeed he was somebody I needed to be with after such sad last several days. He noticed I’m in different mood and tried to be as romantic and gentle as he could and it worked. This trip started well, very well I’d say.

This happened one month ago in May. My 3rd trip to Bangkok this year in fact. I normally spend 1 to 2 weeks on holiday in Bangkok at end of year but this year I started taking shorter trips in other months. The first trip was a weekend in February. I went to celebrate friend's birthday. As I could pack light, I didn't take taxi but instead took airport train to Silom on Friday evening. I stayed at new Hotel Nishitestsu Croom until Sunday. My regular guy was back in Vietnam to celebrate Tet so I met another guy for both nights. They know each other casually. Saturday night was dinner gathering with some favourite forum members at G's. We even took a nice group photo. After that was a trip together to Atlas before we split up to Freshboys and Hot Male. Eventually we met at Foodland again for supper before going back happily with our guys. Second trip was documented in this trip report. Now to 3rd trip. This was a special trip to celebrate 50th birthday. I took 4pm Singapore Airlines flight from Singapore and arrived 2 hours later. Like the first weekend trip in February, I packed light. I took airport train. Once I reached Sala Daeng BTS, I walked to Ibis Styles Hotel. First time staying at this hotel. Small room but clean and functional. I chose it for the rooftop pool. I had booked it for 3 nights late last year. After checking in, I crossed Silom Road to go to Adam Massage for booking at 8pm. Thoroughly refreshed, I went to Foodland Patpong supermarket to get a birthday cake. At 9.30pm, I entered Freshboys. Mamasan was happy to see me back. Lots of seats available as only about 5 other customers at that early time. I took front row seats facing the stage. Two waiters prepared the birthday cake on the table. 50 candles. My regular guy joined me and sat next to me. I also invited 4 other guys down from the stage. I bought drinks for all of them. Once candles were ready, my regular guy and I lighted them. The DJ played Happy Birthday song - the hilarous and fun Thai version. I cut the cake and we ate while catching up. I told mamasan I would pay off fees for my regular guy for 3 nights. Once we finished eating the cake, I settled my bill. I tucked 200 baht each into the front of the shorts of the guys seated with me. One of them cheekily pulled his shorts wide open for me to tuck the notes in! I also tipped mamasan and waiters. I said goodbye to them and I will see them again. It was not even 10pm but I was out of Freshboys, happy with the person I had come to Bangkok to celebrate my birthday with.

What a delightful surprise when I wandered into the new club called Atlas in Patong Soi 2 last night. Big spacious bar, well lit stage right in the center, everything modern and comfortable. And there on the stage were all of the boys from The One / Tawan. They have all quit The One, and are now working at Atlas, which just opened a few days ago. The bar is owned by Arthur, who long time Tawan patrons will remember as the big mixed Black/Asian bodybuilder from Tawan days. As frequent visitors will know, The One never regained the atmosphere of Tawan; it became stale and less inviting, and the show was tame and uninteresting. By contrast, Atlas last night was fun, lively and uninhibited. At least 25 guys, all the top talent from Tawan plus a few new faces. All muscular and fit, if not necessarily lean. These are big muscular men. None of the older fat guys that had come to haunt Taiwan a few years ago were in sight. Fortunately, those days seem to be behind us. The show is back to being hard core and explicit, with lots of audience interaction. Sound and lighting are top notch. The show could have been a little longer, but they just opened a few days ago. I go there to have fun in the bar, not necessarily looking for an off. The guys were friendly, affectionate, and uninhibited. I don’t drink much but I opened a bottle to help them celebrate. I was soon surrounded by guys who, for a tip, were happy to take off their pants and sit with me and drink naked. I’m a bit of a voyeur, so after the show I convinced several of them to also do their rotations on stage stark naked. What a treat. Service was excellent. Arthur seems to be a very competent manager. No admission charge. Drinks were 500 baht, which is steep but worth it to me given the environment. All in all, highly recommended. I hope they can make it a success.

Last night, I sat in my favorite haunt with J., my regular boy, whom I have been taken off almost every day whenever I'm in Pattaya since last Dec (1-year anniversary coming up). As usual, I asked him to pick a friend to sit with us. J., from Laos, called T., another Laos boy, over. He said "Although we are not close, I want to help him. I hardly ever saw he had customers. " T. is slim, not bad looking but quiet and reserved in manner (kinda out of place in this kind of bar), and on the older side in terms of barboy age (28). We talked and he indeed had few customers. Been working here for nearly two months, only 4 off so far, not so many drinks either, so he barely made it. While we were chatting, a customer, who was sitting alone at the next table, looked on with interest. Then he asked me in English if T. is also working in the bar, probably because he was fully dressed while all other boys (including my own) were shirtless. Feeling an opportunity is presenting itself, I confirmed and asked if he wanted to sit with the boy, explaining that although T. was sitting with us, I'm more than glad to let him switch tables. The guy appeared he wasn't sure what to do, saying that he's pretty new to the scene and still trying to figure out how things work. So T. remained at our table but the customer joined in the conversation on a translation-chain basis, meaning he said something to me in English, I Google-translated into Laos then showed it to J. who in turns repeated to T. It went like that for a while, and all of a sudden, the customer said loudly, to no one in particular, "It would be better if he takes off his shirt". When that idea finally reached T. down the translation line, he still looked sort of uncertain about what to do. It was time something needs to be done to speed things up. So I stood up, marched over to T., who was sitting across the table, and took off his shirt with my hands. Then I chaperoned both him and his drink to the next table, and gently pushed him down next to the customer. Now T. can communicate directly with the customer using google translation. Things started going smoother and the customer ordered two more drinks for himself and T. The customer is Dutch but lives in Spain. He said he is quite reserved himself so has great affinity for a shy boy like T., who, in the customer's words, obviously was not self-aware of how handsome he is. The customer himself is not bad-looking either, and J. confirmed he checked off several things on a bar boy's list "neat-looking, polite, no body odor, not too old, not too fat." "I'm not gonna take advantage of the boy the first time we talk. I can't promise that the next time though." He said. Gentlemanly conduct, but me think "Please. He's ready to be taken advantage of. That's why he's working here". Then I noticed there was still some (physical) distance between T. and the customer, who sat ramrod straight. I told J., who told T. to get closer. Since T. still didn't look like he knows what to do, I gestured for him to follow my lead: I nudged closer to J., hugged him, rested my head lightly on his shoulder, and placed a peck on his cheek. T., albeit a bit haltingly, followed suit, down to the pecking part. The customer, obviously seeing the whole thing, looked both amused and happy. He declared "I've been here for only three days and I'm already in love!" Again, I told J., who reminded T. to ask for the customer's contact. They later parted ways with what looks like a big tip for T. and the promise by the customer that he will come back and talk to the boy again tomorrow. I believe, he, being such a gentleman, will keep his word. I also believe I would make a good Mamasan in case I need a side job. To end on a warm note: late into the night, after J. went back to his room, I came back to the bar to watch the soi winding down. I looked inside and saw T., now totally shirtless, dancing energetically with other boys, smiling broadly when he saw me. He seemed to get that confidence boost he needed. Then I sat at the bar outside, chatted with the bartender and watched people. Somehow I might look a bit lonely and sad, to the point that another gentleman, who'd obviously mistaken me for someone in need of a customer, came to give me a hug upon leaving the bar and whispered in my ear "Don't be too shy. Things will get better!"

Hello Everyone, I am back from my 2-Week Bangkok Trip. This was my first time ever in Thailand. Below I will share a brief summary of my trip. Firstly because this was my first time, my trip was divided into 3 sections. Gay stuff 😂 (thats what I call it) Sightseeing/Touristy things Personal beauty stuff (like waxing, facials etc) Let me begin by saying that two weeks are not enough for a first timer, I was definitely overwhelmed and tired. Juggling between all the above stuff. Now the Gay stuff. Massages: I only went to Prince & Arena. Prince I went 3 times and Arena only once. The reason I did not bother going to any other massage place because Prince and Arena are guaranteed places that offer good extras. Arena is a little run down while Prince is well-maintained. Please don’t ask me the name of the massuers because I do not remember but they were all great! Minimium tip for Prince is 1500 Baht and I chose basic 1 hour that was 1100 baht. Bars: Atlas Nice show. Among the bars I went only here I saw a masturbation act. I offed a really good looking boy. Again can’t remember name 😭 but he had hair kinda like Guile from Street fighter. From his appearance, it looked like that he might be uptight and rude, but he was the complete opposite, literally the sweetest person. Freshboys The best show I would say. Boys were mostly twink and some twunks. I am not into twinks but there one really cute twunk. However I did not off anyone. Dreamboys: Did not off anyone here too. The selection here is decent actually. From muscular to twink. Show was ok. Jupiter: I feel like Jupiter has something for everyone. Show was enjoyable. Offed a sweet Cambodian boy. I also went to this foot massage place, cant remember which one but it was in the same strip as relax massage. All boys wore yellow polos. I only did a foot massage there but the guy did press my penis a couple of time. Maybe because I was there last customer and I went really late. I did pass by The One but did not go in, however this really cute bouncer they have outside was like I’ll go to hotel with you. I didn’t take him though. Now the things I did not like: Before I say this, I do want to clarify that this is not a complaint or rant. I know there are many Thailand fans in this forum and I do not want to offend anyone. This is just something I did not like. [In all below senarios I DID give tips] When I went to Altas, they kept pushing tip bucket in my face, which was still fine considering the boy was performing on the stage. However when I chose the guy to off, the person who helped me get the boy asked for a tip, then the waiter asked for the tip. I went to Freshboys, the waiter just brought my drink and pushed me for a tip. Then later when I was done with the drink, some other waiter took the bill and he asked me for the tip. The host/announcer working there asked for tip. When I went to Jupiter (I went twice) first time i did not off anyone, so it was not much of a hassle, good thing they take money at the entrance instead of inside. However, when I went the second time to off, the guy who brought the boy asked for the tip then another waiter standing nearby asked for tip just because he kept asking me if i need boy earlier. When I was finally leaving with my guy. The person at the door shook his tip box and asked for the tip. My GOODNESS, by this point I was annoyed by going to the bars. This was really off putting for me. It is one thing to tip, but it’s a whole another thing when everybody is just literally asking it on your face. So much money was already spent even before I got the boy. Final Verdict: As a city Bangkok is amazing and so much fun!!! I am still sad leaving it. Will I come back? Of course!! But if I just want sex without any b.s, I will rather go to Barcelona thermas. It is much cheaper in all ways for me even when it comes to flights (from Texas). But Bangkok in general offers a lot for tourists I spent hours strolling through markets buying so much stuff, going to 7-Eleven and eating all the toasties every single day. But judging purely based on sex, Barcelona and Brazil are still winners for me. However there is a thrill when you go to the bar and select a guy to off. I was so nervous but felt so brave afterwards 😂. This is my mini report and I know I have only just scratched the surface of gay stuff in bangkok that is why I need another trip.

I took a 3-month trip this year across 11 countries and 23 cities in Australia, India and South-east Asia. My first time in all of them. And while the focus of my trip was scuba diving, attending religious festivals, seeing friends, hiking, sightseeing, food, etc., I was very eager to experience the boys in Thailand. Especially after reading this forum for the past couple of years. Admittedly, I met a lot of boys in all of the countries. But they were typical Grindr/Sniffies/HeeSay hookups. Thailand’s massage boys and go-go boys were something new. I typically don’t pay for sex, but am occasionally fine with it if it adds novelty and variety to my sex life. BANGKOK HOTEL - I stayed at the Grande Centre Point Surawong Bangkok. A highly-rated 5-star hotel near Silom 6 (a hub of gay massage boys and go-go boys). It’s a beautiful property and I’d recommend it to anyone. DAY 1 - I arrived around 10:00 p.m. It was a long travel day and so I decided to get some sleep and get an early start in the morning. But my brain didn’t cooperate. Even after taking one, then two, CBD sleeping gummies (which typically knock me out in 20 minutes), I laid wide awake in bed for hours. I got out of bed at 2 AM and decided maybe cumming would help. I considered jacking off. But thought, “Hey…I’m here for the boys…let’s see who’s on Grindr”. I quickly found a hot guy who was close by. A money boy. He asked for 2000 baht ($60) and I accepted. I was excited for my first Thai boy. When he came over I asked him where he was from. He said Loas. The in-person chemistry wasn’t fantastic for me, but I just wanted to cum and sleep. So I fucked him and passed out. DAY 2 - After meeting a friend from India for lunch and doing some sightseeing, I was excited for my first massage boy experience. I decided to go to Silom 6 after reading all of your posts. It seemed to have the highest concentration of massage boys. I sat in a lot of traffic getting to lunch, so I decided to try the metro. It was fast and easy. Highly recommend. Much better than the roads. Just as described in other posts, I searched for 9-teen Massage Silom-6 on Google Maps and it didn’t take long to find. There is a black and white 9-teen Massage sign you can see from Si Lom Road. I got there around 4 PM and there were multiple massage parlors on Silom 6 alley-street. Each with about a dozen boys dressed in black sitting in front of the door. I slowly walked passed each cluster of boys, deciding which boy I was most attracted to. In the end, it was a cute, fit twink from a place called Paradise Spa. The 60-minute oil massage was 895 baht ($28). We went up a few flights of stairs and he invited me to take a shower in the shower next to the massage table. The place was nice. When he came back, he wanted to start the massage but I asked if he could get naked first. He said, “you help me, I help you, $1500 baht ($45).” I agreed. He got naked. Gorgeous guy. Average-sized cock. I asked him where he was from. He said Laos. I wondered if I would ever meet a Thai boy in Thailand. Haha. The massage was fantastic. While he was working on my back, he poured massage oil directly on my asshole again and again and again and again. My ass was drowning in it. Hahaha. I’m sure he was just lubing up the runway, but, unfortunately, I’m a top. When it got to the fun part, I asked him if he is gay. He is not and is only a top. So we just kissed a little, sucked a little, and jacked off. I was happy with the experience…but learned (as many of you have suggested) that if I want to fuck a boy, ask if they are gay or agree to it before selecting them. I walked back to the hotel to rest for a bit and shower before coming back to Silom for a night of go-go boys. Because my time in Bangkok was limited, I spent an hour re-readingd many of your posts to see how to make the most of one night and went early to check the places out. I started with Moonlight. I was the first customer of the night. All of the boys quickly stood at attention when I walked in. Haha. The entry fee was 500 baht ($15). I sat down, ordered a drink (all drinks 400 baht whether water, beer, or cocktail) and looked at the 20-or-so boys rotating on stage, all wearing white shirts. After 10 minutes, I told the mamasan which one I liked. He came over. We started talking. I asked him where he was from and he said…Laos! LOLOL. I couldn’t break my streak. I ordered him a drink and we talked for a bit. No real chemistry for me. I went to pay for the drinks and told them this was my first night out in Thailand and I was going to see some of the other bars and I’d be back. They said the show would start and 10:45. I said I’d come back for that. I then went to Good Boys and was also the first customer of the night. A much smaller place, smaller stage. Not as nice, but I was attracted to more of the 20-or-so boys. All shirtless. I pointed to my favorite. He came over. He said his name was Lucas and he was from Myanmar. Gorgeous guy. Huge smile. Super skinny. Kind of giggly. It was fun to put my arm around his tight, shirtless torso as we talked. I got a little hard. I definitely liked this guy. I bought us each a couple of drinks and then told the mamasan I was bar hopping and would be back. He told me the show time. I told her I would return. Next, Fresh Boys, just above Good Boys. I went through the same motions…picking a boy, buying us drinks. This time I bought one for the mamasan. And at this point I was feeling a little drunk. I found out the show times and definitely wanted to be back for this show since their show was cocks-out. For the next four hours I bounced between Hotmale, DreamBoy, Moonlight, Good Boys and Fresh Boys meeting as many boys and seeing as many shows as I could. Here is the summary: I didn’t meet one Thai boy the whole night. Haha. All the boys were from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia and Vietnam. At least the ones I picked. The Moonlight show was boring as fuck. I left early. The Good Boys show was regular drag show. You can see that anywhere. The Fresh Boys show was my favorite in Bangkok. Cocks out and somewhat playful. Most of them wore condoms, both during the show and when they walked around to get touched and tipped by customers. I only touched one cock without a condom. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to trying some new places next time. At the end of the night, I went back to Good Boys and paid the 500 baht ($15) off fee for Lucas. He was with another customer when arrived at 1:30 AM and I waited for 15 minutes for him to break away. He said he thought I wasn’t coming back. I told him he was my favorite boy of the night, by far. We agreed on a 2500 baht ($75) tip. He got dressed and we took a 4 minute tuk tuk ride to the hotel. He didn’t bottom, but I was fine with it. He was gorgeous. Fun to talk to. Playful. Open minded. Cute hard cock. We both showered and then got into a rhythm of playing for a while then talking for a while. I asked him if he liked the work. He said 5/10. Depends on the night. He told me he usually gets offed by 10 guys a month. Between that and tips at the bar, he earns $1500-$1800 per month. Alternative jobs would pay $300-$400 per month. His friend and former roommate is only offed by 4 guys per month. We finished by cumming in each other’s mouths, exchanging numbers and then Lucas told me his real name. I went to sleep happy. DAY 3 - My plan was to do a day trip to Pattaya and come back to Bangkok late evening. But I decided to read a bit on this forum just to refresh myself on how to approach everything and I realized it was a bad plan. All the fun in Pattaya happens between 10 PM and 3 AM, and it’s a 2 hour ride back. So I booked a hotel in Pattaya for the night. PATTAYA HOTEL - I decided to stay near Jomtien complex and chose the Poseidon Boutique Hotel. It was a great stay. Super sweet staff. Cheap. Nice room. Very affordable mini bar. My only suggestion would be to add a foam topper to the beds…but I could say that about 70% of the hotels I stay in. I walked around the Jomtien complex multiple times…looking for a massage boy I liked. Sadly, I didn’t like any. So I directed my focus to the evening. Like Bangkok, I wanted to get an early start to get a lay of the land. I hopped in a GrabCar and walked around the Boy Town area for a while. I saw all the straight bars and clubs along Beach Road and Walking Street. And then I walked to Nice Boys. As has been mentioned here, nice Boys no longer exists. It has been replaced by “Boys Nighclub”. I’m sure they meant Boys Nightclub, but that is how it is spelled on both of the signs. As of this posting, you can still find the location by searching for Nice Boys on Google maps. Most importantly, the format has changed. This was my experience… When I walked in at 8:00 PM the mamasan welcomed me and I ordered a drink. There were 5 guys on stage. I would describe all of them as rough looking. She explained the format and from what I understood I could pick the guy I wanted to cum and pay 500 baht ($15) each. I picked 3 out of the 5. I was confused when all three started to masturbate…but only one was jacking off in earnest. Eventually the two others stopped. Finally the first one came and then I understood it was a cum contest…only the winner got the 500 baht. Because the place was a bit seedy and the guys were rough, I was ready to pay for my drinks and leave. The mamasan assured me many more boys would be there at 9:00. I told her I’d be back. I then went to some of the other go-go spots in Boy Town. Toy Boy had the most boys I was attracted to. And I decided I would come back to make my final selections there. I bounced back to the Nice Boys / “Boys Nighclub” for one last look. The mamasan was right. There were now about a dozen boys now and two of them were smoking hot. Sadly, they were occupied by other guests. The hottest one by far, model material, sat to my left. He was jacking off behind a pillow, he didn’t want the other go-go boys to see (but I could), and he had a huge asian cock. Gorgeous cock. The guest would fondle his cock and balls behind the pillow…then the boy would get back to masturbating. The guest to my right had two boys jacking off and this is how his night went. The boy on the left would cum and he’d slurp it up and order a new boy. Then the boy on the right would cum and he’d slurp it up and order a new boy. For him, at 500 baht ($15) per cum shot, he could suck cum off their cocks all night like it was an all-you-can-swallow buffet. He didn’t stop the whole time I was there. I ordered my own boy. He was cute enough and had a nick dick. He quickly opened some straight porn and went to work. I was a touch drunk and lost some inhibitions at this point. Haha. I sucked him 3 times and when he came I thought “what the hell”, and slurped up his cum like the guest on my right. The more the merrier. I decided to wait to see if the hot boy to my left would eventually get free. I saw him cum earlier and thought he’d go back on stage. But the guest had his hand on his leg and wasn’t letting him go. I don’t know what arrangement they had. I waited and waited. Eventually the boy looked my way and we locked eyes. The dead look in his eyes was as if his soul left his body months or years earlier. And I decided to leave. X-BOYS - When I first walked in, about 9:45, there was a skinny, 75-year old American wearing a long-sleeved, khaki, Boy Scout shirt being lifted at the waist and twirled around by a muscled go-go boy. The man was in heaven. His eyes closed behind his glasses. Smiling. Ever so lightly caressing the boy’s back as he was spun round and round. After a while the boy set him down, he tipped him, and then he chose another willing muscle boy to give him another ride. We all have our thing. And then it was time for the show. OMGGGG! X-Boys was of the highlights of my trip, for sure. THANK YOU to everyone on this site who recommended it. I was there for both shows, the 10:00 and 11:00. And it was everything you said it would be. Rape scene, two shower scenes, orgy scene, mini-golf contest, fuck scene, eyes-wide-shut scene, hard cock scene, breakdancing, so many more…it was so well conceived and performed. It was Erotic. Beautiful. Fascinating. I didn’t want it to end. I was worried that if I pulled a boy down from the stage to sit with me it would mean he wasn’t in the show, and I was right. So I tipped, tipped, tipped the performers the whole night. Two of the drink-boys sat with me through the shows. A younger one by invitation and one in his mid-30s by self-invite. Haha. I bought both of them drinks, the mamasan drinks, a couple of the performers drinks and myself a few drinks. I was in heaven. I was kissing both drink-boys. Making out with the younger one whenever I could. Fantastic kisser. Both of them played with my hard cock (through my shorts) during the show. I regretted wearing underwear. I’m sure they would have put their hands down my pants if I invited them to. I should have. My drink tab was 3200 baht ($100) and it was money well spent. I felt so bad…the place was only 1/3 full for both shows and I wanted to do whatever I could to support them. During the fuck show the boys walked into the audience…while fucking…soliciting tips. I had already tipped both of them. When they came to me, I pulled down the jock strap of the bottom and felt his dick and then I felt the hard wrapped cock in his ass as they were fucking, basically on top of me. Wow! I tipped again. I wish more visitors would support these shows and the guys that perform in them. I’d be sad if we lost it…as it seems the world has lost so much from Bangkok/Pattaya over the years. I will absolutely go back anytime I’m in Thailand. My only suggestion for the show is for them to mix up the acts. I think that might be one reason for the low attendance. I think it might be the same show every night. But again, BRAVO boys for an amazing performance!! I think I could’ve stayed and had more fun with the guys at X-Boys post-show, but wanted to go back to Toy Boy to see who was on stage. TOY BOY - Also nearly empty of guests on a Sunday night, Toy Boy still had about 20 boys on stage just after midnight. I talked to the mamasan and asked which ones were tops and bottoms. I wanted a 3some and wanted at least one bottom and one top/vers. He had told me that they “had a room upstairs” where we could play. I thought that would be easier than going back to my hotel, logistics-wise, so I picked the two boys and we went. I paid 2000 baht each, plus a tip for the mamasan, I think. Haha. I was still a little drunk at this point. It turns out that the “room upstairs” is a hotel next door…they must have a by-the-hour arrangement with them. The three of us showered and jumped into bed. Both of them were giggling a bit. They’d never been naked together. It was clear very quickly that one was gay-for-pay straight and the bottom was gay. The three of us fucked around for about 30 minutes…but I was connecting with the gay bottom, “Tree”, in part because he could speak English, and in part because he was enjoying it, so I eventually excused the straight who was only going through the motions. Tree was Thai and a real sweetheart. We fucked and talked and talked and fucked. I know this was a paid exchange, but it felt like love making. He said he was finishing university in Bangkok and got into some sort of an accident. He’s the youngest in the family and his older brother and sister said he needed to do something for money. The accident exposed how vulnerable he was financially. His brother said, “I’m working at a bar in Pattaya…you should come work with me.” He didn’t tell him what kind of bar. Haha. So Tree showed up to work the first day and was like, “What the fuck?”, but he eventually decided he liked the work and is still doing it. I asked Tree if his gay-for-pay brother still worked at the bar. He said yes. I asked, “what would you have done if I had randomly picked you and your brother for a 3some tonight? Would you do it? Enjoy it?” Initially, with a mischievous, horny smirk, he said yes. But then later when I asked again he said no. He didn’t want sex to ruin anything between them and, of course, I respected his answer. Eventually we both came and exchanged numbers. We’re still talking. I got a ride back to the Poseidon Boutique Hotel from a friend I’d made that night. An owner of a restaurant. It was 2:30 AM. I decided to walk around the Jomtien complex to see what was happening. All of the bars were wrapping up for the night. I popped into three bars and talked to a few guys. Then decided to call it a night. I was walking back to the Poseidon hotel and there was a group of guys sitting at a table on the street, close to the hotel. I said hi to all of them as I passed. I locked eyes with one. A hot 20-something wearing a yellow, L.A. Lakers jersey. I walked another few steps and turned around to look. He was standing up…staring in my direction. I thought, “If a guy stands up for you, you should go talk to him.” So I did. All of his friends were like, “OOoooooo-ooooooo”. After saying, “hey”, I asked, “Do you want to go up with me?” And he said yes. As we walked away, all of his friends went “OOoooooo-ooooooo” again. Haha. We immediately went up and both got in the shower. OMG. This guy was drop dead gorgeous. A 27 year old from Myanmar, he works at a bar in Jomtien. He was bright, funny, spoke great English, was brimming with muscles. And his cock! The biggest I’ve seen on any asian. Hard as a rock. I asked about his position…he said vers. I asked if we wanted to bottom and he said yes. We kissed hard for a while, talked for a bit, started fucking…and in missionary position I asked if he was HIV positive (normally something I ask earlier on). He said he was. I am on prep and he said he was undetectable, so we kept going. He said he used to be a money boy and used to do meth. He didn’t know if he got it from the sex or a needle. But he’s absolutely focused on his health right now. And it was clear that he was. We kept having fun and he came while I was fucking him. What a night! I’m so glad I stayed the night in Pattaya. DAY 4 - Just a few things of note: The floating market in Pattaya is a waste of time. I’m sure there are others in Thailand that are authentic and amazing. This one is a tourist trap. Nothing is real. IMO, the beaches weren’t that great in Pattaya and there are a lot of posts online about how dirty the water is. If beaches are a driver to visit here, head out to an island for a day. Better beaches and cleaner water. I got screwed by “The Limo Pattaya” service recommended on this site. We set up a time. I confirmed the day before. The time came. I reached out 20 minutes before to confirm the driver was coming. Nothing. I called and he said, “Give me a minute. Let me look to find a car in your area”. What?? Why did you confirm the day before? WHAT are you confirming the day before? That you will look for a car in my area 20 minutes before my pick up time? Then he wrote and said he couldn’t find a car. Anyway, super frustrating. Grab was the same price. I’ll just use Grab in the future. On the way back from Pattaya, I decided to stop by Zoo Spa and Onsen. BREAKING NEWS - they’ve moved! Next door. I’ll post a photo of the new place. The guys are gorgeous, but the massage and the tip is 2x to 3x as much as you’ll find in Silom 6. Between the premium price and the 45 minute wait for the boy to arrive (in-call only) and not knowing if there would be in-person chemistry, I decided it wasn’t worth it and left. I went back to Silom 6 to see if there were any massage boys I liked. There were four, but they were all straight. So I said “no thank you” and went back to the hotel and had a hot (free) Grindr hook up with a sexy 30 year old Thai bottom. DAYS 5-10 I went to Phuket for 3 days. Had an incredible time on the islands. Only Grindr hookups here. I then went to Chiang Mai for the Loy Krathong “Festival of Light” / lantern festival. FYI - the sanctioned, out-of-town lantern event was chaos x Chaos x CHAOS. I’ve never experienced a clusterfuck of that magnitute in any country. Sexwise, for me, Chiang Mai was a mix of Grindr and HeeSay hookups. And one go-go bar named Adam’s Apple Club. I was there for two hours during prime time. I’d give it a 3/10. Mostly because the guys are average looking, the go-go scenes are cliche and uninspired, and, according to the mamasan, all straight. (I like gay bottoms who are into being bottoms). I spoke with a guest who moved to Chiang Mai 20 years ago. He’s being going to Adam’s Apple for-e-ver and has known most of the models for 7-10 years. To me, that explained why the performers were just going through the motions. They’d done the same thing every night 1000s of times. I don’t blame them, but I didn’t find it enjoyable. He also said he gets massages for 250 baht ($8). I always paid more…but I’m not a local. And that mot of the straight go-go boys at Apple will do anything you want…you just have to agree in advance. I felt a number of hard cocks (no condoms here) and tipped the boys as they walked around. But I wouldn’t go back. And that was my time in Thailand. I hope you found some of trip report informative and entertaining. My advice to first-timers in Thailand: Read this forum and get familiar with everything before you go. There is a lot to learn and things are changing all the time. Download the Grab app for car transport. It works just like Uber. Download Line for texting. It works like WhatsApp. Take the metro as often as you can in Bangkok. Big time saver. Get familiar with how each massage place works. Many have boys on demand. Some are in-call, reservation only. Contact those places on Line in advance. Because Bangkok is so big, I’d combine sightseeing with checking out massage places. For example, the Chatuchak weekend market is somewhat close to BT House Men Massage and Gbeat Massage. Would I ride the metro for 30 minutes just to go and check out a few massage boys? Probably not. Would I walk a few blocks after the weekend market to see which boys might be available? Yes. I suggest creating a physical or digital map with all of the sightseeing spots, restaurants and massage places you might want to visit, and leverage the proximity. In Pattaya, for your hotel, I would decide, “would I rather take a boy to my hotel from a bar in Jomtien complex or a go-go boy from Boy Town?”, and pick a hotel near that spot. They are both relatively close, but I’d rather not have to deal with finding a taxi late at night for a hookup. Don’t miss the X-Boys show in Pattaya. It’s totally worth going to both shows. You may consider wearing no underwear and some loose shorts if you want to get a little drunk and handsy while you enjoy the erotic performances. I loved my first trip to Thailand. I may be back next year. : )

Day 2 Bangkok - Part 2 Thanks to all of you wonderful forum members who have described in detail just how the boy clubs function, I was somewhat prepared for what to expect. We arrived at 10pm with the first show scheduled to begin at 10:30pm. I knew from comments here that the likelihood of the show actually starting on time were next to nil. lol. We were the only two customers in the place. They had 13 number guys rotating on stage in groups of four. I am guessing you would call him papasan, immediately pounced on us to invite boy over to sit with us. I wasn’t rude, but declined the offer, said we were a couple not interested in additional company, and just planned to enjoy the show. That seemed to be accepted and we were left alone the rest of the evening. During the first rotation/set the guys all wore yellow shorts and black tank tops that said Moonlight. During the second set, they only wore the yellow shorts. What was interesting to me is even though there were very few customers, and just the two of us for a good 25 minutes, the boys still did their rotation and basically just stood there. They looked very bored. Not sure I understand the reason management would have them just get up on stage and stand there when no customers are there. Anyway, about 10:20pm another caucasian/asian couple arrived and papasan immediately made a beeline for them. Next up was an older Asian gentleman that everyone seemed to know and I assumed to be a regular. All of the boys were trying really hard to attract his attention. Then two Asian young men who ordered a bottle of liquor and was sharing it with a number of the boys and models. It appeared they were all friends. A group of three Asians of various ages were ushered in to a special corner booth in the front section. They, too, ordered a bottle. Last customers to appear were two lesbians who truly sat in the back and made out the entire time. All total there were 14 customers during the entire first show. Between boys, models, waiters, doormen, and other workers, they completely outnumbered all of the paying customers. Show finally started at 11pm with the models doing several numbers, both as a group and some individual. Drag queen performed one number by Mariah Carey near the end of the show. Models did not have numbers, so I assume they cannot be offed??? Waiters all had numbers. Since I was with someone, I certainly had no plans to entertain someone else. None of the waiters or number boys really appealed to me. Would consider going back and seeing if one of the models, Mr. Boss, was available. He is the only one that really did anything for me. There were 9 models. Towards the end of the show you could tip the models with what I would call a stole. Out of the 9 models, 4 received a 1000 Baht stole. During our stay, I saw 3 number boys leave with customers. One other thing I noticed about the entire experience…the number boys all try to make contact with the customers. Eye contact, body language, facial expressions…a lot of interaction from onstage with customers. Models…never looked directly at the customers/audience. When performing, they were always looking at themselves in the mirrors across the back opposite the stage. Several of them looked very bored and disinterested…like they wanted to be anywhere else but in the club. Keep in mind this is my first time visiting these clubs, so that is just my overall impression. After we left the club, we headed back to the hotel, took a shower, did the wild thing, and fell asleep cuddling. Was not ever discussed or planned as an overnight, but we both just kind of went with the flow of things and it was so late it made more sense for him to stay the night. He had to get up early, go home to change, and then off to work. Exchanged contact info with both young men from Grinder. Not sure I will follow up with another visit from the first guy, but definitely want to see the second one again. I could see myself easily falling for him. Dangerous territory.

Next day I went to Khao Kheow Open Zoo I joined a tour group which I was told was a Russian tour but English would be fine, it was not 😅. Tour guide spoke a little English however a few of the Russians on the tour did speak English, I used translation app to translate most of the tour info. Everyone was friendly enough. In the end the made everyone goto one of their shops to try and get people to buy overpriced items. The zoo was great. Got to see all the exhibits and everyone had a lot of fun. Throughout the day the massage boy from Grindr kept messaging me, getting really needy. The bad thing was Every time I walked out of my hotel I walked by him at this massage shop and just waved and kept walking. I decided to goto M Bar to see what it was all about. However shows they on were uninteresting to me and it seems like this bar is mostly just to get the boys to sit with you and have a little fun on the couches. One boy came over asked me where I was from then said “ok tip for me” was kind of off putting, I wasn’t really interested in any as they look a bit too young and twinky for me, so I paid my bill and left. I decided to head down to an actual gogo bar which was X-Boys. The show was fun they had their penis show where they used themselves to hit a golf ball into a hole which was fun. There was a live sex show, and a lot of dancing. It felt a bit more raunchier however the guys onstage seemed to be really into it and having a lot of fun. I didn’t enquire for off prices as I was a bit tired and wasn’t going to off anyone. I told mamasan I would be back another night. when I got back I walked past soda massage and decided to get a massage with another boy. Went through the same motions this time not was top only we still had fun and for same price, no need to negotiate. Friday I had lunch at buenos, had great food and a great margarita. I would definitely recommend if you are feeling like some Mexican food. Tonight I decided to goto the venue for the Friday night sexy show, they have a lot of drag performers/lady boys they also have their sexy show with boys in tight fitting underwear/nearly nothing coming around for tips. I tipped one boy and he directed my hands into his pants. I would recommend this show but it wasn’t as good as the m2m bar show. Was a lot of interaction with the audience and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. However the bar was only 1/2 full. after the show I checked Grindr and saw the massage boy messaging me again. I ignored. This time he told me how he has no room, needs money, etc etc. this time I decided to block him even tho I knew I would see him as I walked past. I likely would have seen him another time if he wasn’t so needy as I did enjoy having fun with him. I message a boy who was on the Twunkier side on Grindr he advertised as massage boy. His shop was directly next to the agate, room was on top floor and had shower within. 300 for massage and 1000 tip for everything. Was well worth it. He performed well and knew what was up from the beginning, I enjoyed the massage as he was a bit stronger and he didn’t skimp on the extras. last day I decided to goto the colosseum show. I booked ticket with tour company for 1/2 the price everywhere else. Had great seats. I really did enjoy the show as did everyone else, the audience was mostly Chinese and they all came in groups by tour bus. The only thing I didn’t like was that some of the lady boys/queens did not know the lyrics. However the visuals and the dance numbers made up for it. I would see both this and Tiffany again in the future. after the show I came back and rested for a while then I decided to goto candy boys show, I wanted to goto this earlier in the week however they are not open every day. The seating for this show is more intimate as it’s couches however they are closer together so performers cannot walk Through easily to collect tips. This show had a live singer! It was great to watch him sing. I enjoyed the acts the only thing is between each act they play the same melody which gets kind of annoying. The performers were great and interacted with everyone. They had one cute dancer that I would definitely off. Not sure if it’s possible, I am too shy to ask if it’s not upfront. I would go back to:this show again. after I decided to go back down to the gogo bars, I walked around however no shows were starting so i walked by a gogo bar called dreamboys however there is no show. The boys stand on stage.. that’s it.. felt kind of awkward. There was only one other person in the bar besides myself, one guy kept looking at me on stage and making it very obvious he wanted me to off him. I was interested in another guy too but he appeared bored and wasn’t looking. I decided to buy the guy making googly eyes at me a drink, we discussed fee. He asked 2500 I counted at 2000 which he accepted. He got dressed and left. I believe off fee here was 500. Caught a grab and headed back to hotel, he told me how it’s slower now, he use to dance as a gogo boy on walking street and make more per night, it’s what he likes to do but those bars have slowed down so he looked elsewhere. I forgot to mention when we stepped out of dreamsboys it’s directly across from xboys the mamasan was outside and she saw me and gave me the why you didn’t come back look. I was surprised she remembered I hid behind boy and she laughed. boy and I had fun, I decided to tip him the 2500 he originally asked for cause he was great. i did a bit more shopping during the week, next time I think I would visit more gogo bars however I did like staying in Jomtien and I think I would again. I found nighboys club I didn’t go in because it was dead outside and kind of late. There are also a lot of boys around the bars in super town that appear to:be offable if you are braver than me to approach . that was it for me in pattaya. I had a blast, I am in bangkok now and having a lot of fun.

Don’t believe that dramatic tittle of the report. Yes, it was not one of best and memorable trips but still , when comes to boys, it brought plenty of fine moments. Still it did not work as planned and envisioned, partially because life intervened, partially because I made hasty decision so my sentiment reflected in the tittle about that trip is accurate. Original plane was 4 nights in Bangkok , followed by three in Pattaya, carefully chosen to coincide with show at The Best Bar in Jomtien as part of Maxhunt ( more about that in relevant part ) and then 6 days in Bangkok again. Then life happened, owing to family matters I was forced, or to be more accurate, I had chosen to be forced to cancel my original ticket. Since it was low cost non-refundable one and I never buy trip cancellation insurance, it meant I threw 700 USD it originally cost to the dust bin. They were other related costs amounting to roughly the same , before I stepped out of plane in Bangkok, three day later than planned, I lost about 1400 $. No wonder I’m glad it’s over. Still , mind you I opted for that misery and I’m glad I did. Life, sigh. Then before I even left home I noticed that one of my boys, lets call him Cambodian Boy (CB), changed his Line avatar to something teary. So out of curiosity I asked him if all is ok. It was not as he explained. Due to border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia he was forced to leave his bar job , returned home but told me he will come on 14 to utilize his 7 day visa, all currently available. I did not spill the beans that I should be in Bangkok for part of his time there but I knew that first bar I visit will be Moonlight hoping for that big smile of surprise. Anyways after all those tribulation , instead of Sunday I landed in Bangkok on Wednesday after having extremely pleasant last leg from Doha with all three seats in my row at my disposal. Day1 Landed early afternoon which is the best time as removes all problems with early check in in hotel and allows to change money at best places. Immigration was a breeze this time , 5 minutes and I was out. Speaking about changing money, in the basement by railway station I got 37.10 for euro, and assumption that it was the best rate lasted only until arrival at Phaya Thai station. Immediately after one leaves paid area there are two booths and one offered 37.28 and next one even 37.30. That rate , by the way was matched by XOne hour or two later. My original plan was to stay in Baan Silom but since my 4 night shrunk to one I went for Raya. Owing to low season that had very friendly rates. Settling there I went to post office as had something to mail , then to XOne to change more money and finally to Foodland for my first chicken with cashews – sadly , this time very average. I love that first day there when I’m settling for promising trip buying necessities and checking what is new. Building rising out of soi Twilight ashes is almost completed , that was big and tall new thing. At 8 p.m. I parked myself in front of Banana Club , soon joined for a beer by one of their guys but since he is diminutive guy I was plain social occasion. Still gave him 2 reds for his company by way of patented ‘vinapu tuck”. Then he went inside and I strolled through both Patpongs , in Patpong 2 enthusiastically welcomed buy some guys knowing me from better times. I was tempted to enter Atlas as boys on the stage were in pure and tempting view but one of them spotted me , went down from the stage and immediately lowered his briefs asking for a tip ”for food”. That was bit too fast so I politely explained I just arrived and did not have a chance to change money and declined invitation by boss himself to step inside. At that moment I was not even sure I will go inside that trip at all. I don’t mind spreading money but such antics were too fast moving for my taste. At 10pm. I went to Moonlight and this is what I reported in “Patpong” thread on that day : “I was customer #6 . When show started at 10.30 grand total 12 customers. 10 models, Mean returned but Babe not present. New guy Joey with broad smile quite impressive. About 8 floor boys but regretfully none of two I was hoping to see. At least 3 boys offed including both Lao brothers and guy taken by one who took over Vinapu's account.” . I was disappointed I did not see neither CB nor Y but at least M I offed twice in winter was on the stage and just before I was about to leave bar I motioned him to dress bypassing mamasan who use to leech to me from minute on I show in. It must be dearth of clients because even one of their models I had pleasure with before come to shake hands and exclaim ‘ long time no see you “. Light dinner in Happy Beer Garden and soon M and I were in my room . M is not long time material and I did not expect him to stay past normal short time but low season kicked in and it was already 5 am when he suggested he will go home. Nice surprise for start of trip earning him extra 1000 in the process.

Day 3 Bangkok I am beginning to feel like I am following in the footsteps of @FunFifties. Not quite sure at my age I have the stamina to keep up, but so far am certainly giving it a good old college try. lol. Up early, had breakfast at the hotel buffet with my overnight guest, sent him on his way home in a taxi to change for work, and went back to sleep for a couple of hours. Staying out until 1am is way past my normal bedtime, not to mention the exercise that was generated upon our return to the hotel room. After being lazy most of the morning, decided to schedule an appointment at Prestige for an afternoon massage. Since I have been there before on my last trip in August 2024, I sort of knew what to expect. Depending on who you get, I think it is a case of your mileage may vary. Made the reservation via LINE and decided to go for a 2 hour aromatic. Gave them a short list of four therapists I was interested in, and one was available at 2pm. Prestige is just around the corner from Ibis and takes about 5-10 minutes to walk there. Took a shower and was ready to leave the hotel when I received a message on the app for a possible meet up this evening. Unlike the first two, this one was MB wanting to know if I was interested in a massage. Now, mind you, I was just about ready to leave for a massage a Prestige, but I thought…why not. Go for it. So I did! I scheduled to meet him in the lobby of the hotel at 6:30pm. Meanwhile, off to Prestige I go. Massage itself was very good. I like this shop for several reasons…newer facility, elevator, usually a good to great massage, plus the chance of extra services. Something about the will it/won’t it happen game just intrigues me. After about one hour into the massage, I noticed he had positioned my hands on the table in a way that he could rub up against them. Ok, that’s a good sign. Then some light touches in strategic places when doing the upper, inner thigh and glutes. Time for the turn over. By this time I was in full salute, so he asked if I would like some special service. Of course I said yes and the fun began. The next 45 minutes were pure bliss and there was very little left untouched. I am normally not a very vocal person, but at one point he had to tell me to quiet down. lol. I had selected the 2 hour aromatic massage which is 1690 Baht. Special service request was 2000 Baht, but I was in such a state of ecstasy that I gave him 3000 Baht! At the conclusion we showered together before I made the 10 minute walk back to Ibis. That would give me about two hours to recover before round 2. After such an amazing afternoon, my evening appointment was more of a letdown. Nice enough guy, but a bit older than I would normally entertain. He came prepared with all the necessary equipment, but I was just so wiped out from the afternoon experience and just not into it as much. My stamina is not as strong or virile as @FunFifties, I guess. The massage was just a little over an hour and I was ready for it to end. Exhausted and just wanted to chill out quietly. This one only asked for 1500 Baht, so not a huge cash drain I guess. Not sure what tomorrow will bring. Have to see how I am feeling in the morning and what my mood is. Happy to share the name of the therapist at Prestige privately if anyone is interested. May be seeing him one more time before my adventures north on the bus tour.

I have only started exploring SE Asia a few years ago, but from my two trips so far (this being the third) where Bangkok has been the anchor at the beginning and at the end of the trip, I have come to the conclusion that Bangkok is the perfect first stop for me. Day one Arrived early morning, no queues at the migration desk. I had completed the digital arrival card, but was not asked to show any documentation, so I assume it was in the database along with my fingerprints from previous visits. Stayed at the Quarter Saladaeng. Nice location. Smallish room, even though I had booked a junior suite. Gym and pool with changing facilities I could use while they were getting my room ready. Decent breakfast with egg station and freshly cooked Asian options and not so interesting industrial grade Western options. Visitor friendly, and no key card required for the lift, which was very convenient since I had a couple of repeat hook ups and a regular from previous visits. After freshing up, I set out on an expedition of grooming and massage with happy ending. I found a nearby nail salon where I had a manicure and a pedicure. Next stop was S’Sense for a two hour hot oil massage. Massage was excellent as always and extras was the best body-to-body massage I have experienced so far. The Masseur very skilfully used his thighs and buttocks to make it feel almost like intercourse though there was no actual penetration. I can share his name in a message if anyone is interested. He didn’t mention a minimum tip when he offered the body to body massage, but he seemed pleased with the 2000 I gave him and proceeded to give me an extra head and neck massage after I tipped him. Came back to the hotel to get my room that was now ready and opened Grindr. Back home, Grindr is practically broken, with 60-70 percent of taps and messages seeming to come from fake profiles, scammers or alleged Only Fans content creators. Not so in Bangkok! I got plenty of messages from genuine guys who wanted to meet me. So late afternoon/early evening I had a visit from an early twenties twinkish top who just got off work. While we chatted he requested a tip of 1000 and I agreed. He wanted to come directly to my room, but as a precaution I met him outside. I didn’t have to, he was even cuter than his photo. We had a nice round of sex and agreed to keep in touch for a possible rematch the day after. I had a nice early dinner at Mango Tree and some mango sticky rice on my way back to the hotel where I laid down to have a good long night’s sleep to hopefully cure my jetlag.

Bangkok - part 3 I am back home already so this is the last part of my trip. Stayed in some hotels I haven't stayed at before, met some new boys as well as rekindled with some old ones, and I was fortunate enough to hang out with Vinapu 3 times! We started our nights having a drink at the front of Banana bar before heading off to a gogo bar. Hotels Ibis Styles Silom - I had a decent stay here. It is fairly new and quite clean, however the rooms are a little on the smaller side. The room layout is also quite interesting with an absolutely massive shower, and then the bathroom sink on the outside. It seemed to work though. I was on the highest floor of the rooms and had a nice view of a carpark. At least I had an outside view as the rooms on the other side of the floor faced towards the 'atrium' so they would have received no natural light. They are guest friendly with no-one batting an eyelid when bringing your gentleman of the evening. Would I stay again? Probably not, but it was worth giving it a try. Le Meridien - It was a highlight to stay at this hotel. From the get-go, the level of service and hospitality was unmatched compared to everywhere else that I stayed. I booked direct and had the Marriott Bonvoy app installed on my phone and they sent a notification when my room was ready - which happened to be at around 11:30am which meant I could just pop over from Ibis Styles without having to wait around. The app also allowed me to unlock my room without using the card. The room was huge and well-appointed and this hotel also is guest friendly. I had a 'beef brisket burger' from the restaurant downstairs, which is something I wouldn't normally get, but it was actually really delicious. Normally I would say that Crowne Plaza is my favourite in the area, but I think Le Meridien might just take the cake. The only reason I would choose Crowne over Meridien is the proximity to the BTS/MRT and also it is on the 'correct' side of Surawong Road. Bars Dreamboys - I've been here countless times so nothing much more needs to be said, and I ended up taking back my regular from here who I've known for a few years. I like him and we are comfortable with each other, but I get the feeling sometimes that he is becoming a little complacent in his efforts. The show was pretty standard, and there was another boy that I liked but as soon as I mentioned it, another customer took him off straight away. Have to be quick! Hotmale - It was a quiet night when I visited, but the show went on. Since there weren't many customers (and at one stage I was the only one), when the big cock show came around, I tipped them all (there were only 4 guys). Most of the guys I could have gone with and whilst choosing, I asked the papasan who can top AND bottom, and he pointed out only 2 guys who I then decided to call both down and have a drink. Turns out they are both Cambodian. Whilst trying to make up my mind as to who to take, it was suggested that I go with both but I didn't really want to risk an awkward encounter in case things didn't quite work out. I ended up choosing the guy that sat on my right as he was a little more playful, had more tattoos and kissed better, and the guy on my left was just very slightly fem, which isn't a bad thing but just not my thing right then. Turns out that I had made a good choice as the chemistry back in the bedroom was definitely there. Absolutely will repeat for next time. Moonlight - It was a quiet night at this bar with a few customers, but the show went on anyway, which as you probably already know, is pretty tame. The floor boys I probably could have gone with any of them, they were all pretty attractive, but I didn't that night. The models - a little too big for my personal taste, but attractive anyway. There was a guy that I had been with in the past, and Vinapu had also been with, and I had a selfie of him and me which I showed Vinapu and he told me to show the guy, so I did and he was pretty bewildered, I don't think he remembered me at all lol. There were also a couple of guys sitting near us that I think had bottle service and later on in the night one of the guys I think had passed out and his friend had to carry him out. Atlas - This was great fun. All the staff knew Vinapu as he is quite famous in these parts. The night started with one of the guys giving me a massage (I remember him from Tawan), and then the show which featured many appendages but no fuck show this time. The lady boy show at the end was absolutely hilarious though - made me laugh out loud. There was one guy that looked vaguely familiar so I invited him for a drink and turns out that I had offed him a year ago when he worked at what was then called Screwboys. He was really angling for an off, and gave me a boner right there in the bar, but I wasn't looking for company that night. I also bought another guy a drink who had a Muay Thai body and abs of steel, however he was very oily lol. He was pretty friendly and told me not to forget him next time I come. Earlier in the night there was a cute (masked) asian guy (customer) that sat quite close next to me even though there were many vacant seats in the bar. Overall, it was a really fun night with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Yes the boys are mostly huge, but there is a variety that would cater to all tastes. Other Massage - the only massage I had was an outcall. Earlier in my trip I had gone to Senso hoping to see a particular masseur that I had in the past, but he wasn't working there anymore. Luckily I had his Line contact so I contacted him and turns out that he works freelance at Prince and Jey Spa but would be happy to come to my hotel room. So I booked him to come visit me and we had an excellent and versatile time. Pattaya boy - this guy that I had met in Jomtien who gave me a bit of a boyfriend experience was trying to get me to come visit his hometown (about an hour outside of Bangkok) but since I had already paid for my hotels in Bangkok, I wasn't keen. He then wanted to visit me in Bangkok so I agreed for only 1 night, which he was happy with (I really am not a fan of long-time). We ended up having some drinks at Valour in Silom soi 4 (I had a huge gin and tonic that was served in a red wine glass) and we went to Silom soi 2 later in the evening, to DJ station, or at least to a bar in that general vicinity, not sure if it is all DJ Station. He seemed to know many of the staff there, and my body was already saying no, so I left him there to have fun (which he was completely fine with) and I went back to the hotel to sleep and he rang me later on when he was ready to come back. This guy is getting a little too attached to me, and I do like him too, but I have been trying to cool it a little because I cannot return the feelings back that he seems to have for me. He's a good guy though, really sweet. In the morning we went to foodland, and funnily enough he got the farang breakfast whilst I had a rice soup. Sexual health clinic - if you are looking to get tested, I would recommend Pribta Tangerine Clinic, which is in the Chamchuri building, close to Sam Yan MRT. I think it is cheaper than the more popular Pulse clinic. It is really well-run and pretty efficient. The clinic is very clean and neat and all the staff speak English. It was pretty busy when I went though. The results were emailed to me a few hours after I had left. Here in my home country, it takes a few days at least. So that marks the end of my 2 month trip. I have never taken a holiday this long before, but I am glad that I gave it a try. There were times where I was done and felt like coming home, but towards the end I needed more time! I got lazy often and was always saying 'I'll do it tomorrow' but then there were no more tomorrows left! But all in all I had a great time, and even got to meet with a few lovely forum members. This trip I also noticed more and more people thought I was Thai, which has happened in the past, but not to this extent. I take it as a compliment though. I'm planning my next trip for maybe a year's time, but who knows, the temptation may become too great and I will find myself back sooner rather than later. Thanks for reading!

Day 8 , last After my guy left I had good sleep till late morning , them went for breakfast and returned to the room to pack up. Earlier I asked about the option of late check out as my plane leaves at 7.pm but I was told by lady who seemed to be in charge that there are no rooms available. Considering that other guy , manning laptop in the lobby seemed sympathetic to my query and I notice strange grimaces sent his way by said lady I think they simply did not want to bother. No problem although it would be nice to have room till , say 4 pm. I found solution, left my bag on reception and went to soi 6 to have massage at Maha with diminutive hunk there , Nut. Great , no rush session. At 3 pm my last chicken and rice soup at Foodland, minutes later reader joined me for latest gossip and he walked me to mouth of Convent Road here we had our good bye hugs hoping to see each other very soon. Train to the airport was very crowded but no surprise there considering it was peak hours. At 7 something pm my Gulf Air A321 took off on its way to Bahrain with me inside waving good bye to Thailand for 36th time. In sharp contrast with September this time I was leaving with bleeding heart. Considering what brought me there I was in need of something uplifting and this time guys delivered , one after another. Even bump mid trip with underdelivering Banana guy, mostly on time , was not that painful. Who would think that my best guy will be from Jupiter ? Even now , week later I’m kind of amazed . And I still have my sights on another hunk from there, one who mildly pissed me by not confirming his tips with smile but I’m not giving up on him for two reasons, first he was recommended to me by forum friend I absolutely trust judgment of, second because he looked much better in flesh than on pics and clips I saw of him before .So it looks for my next trip whenever it will be I have my homework already assigned , I’m not giving up that easy. I’m glad that Handsome Cambodian with whom I have long history of offs , not all of the happy – once he dumped me after I complained about his constant surfing on his phone , looked happy and somewhat settled. I have soft spot for him because of his troubled , early orphaned life. Chai, new discovery in Arena was joyful and I cherish sense of achievement of finally being engaged with #10 from Moonlight and #31 from Banana I pursued for some time. Very uplifting fact that all bar one of boys I known previously bar that I engaged this trip performed , I must say even better than previously. No games , no stupid excuses ( I overlook last night because I have feeling it was not malicious ). Only think I feel sense of missing was another meeting with Y from Moonlight but simply our schedules did not align. Those familiar with my report perhaps notice one , so far always present , thing missing - absence of visit to Tawan. Yes it was on design. I still love bar and it’s boys dearly but this time I was in no mood to partake in their constant ‘ tip, tip, tip “ requests. Even when I had chance meeting with K on that famous corner , he immediately raised his shirt and asked for ‘ tip for eating “. I wish them well and hope to visit in the future but this time I gave them a miss and I ‘m glad I did. How far I went from days when my trips were on Tawan monodiet ? But not my fault. Life is strange thing. One week you attend your best , lifelong, friend’s funeral, next you have week of your life and one of best of my many trips to LOS. I love you life !

Second visit to Bangkok 15/11/25 So this is my second only visit to Bangkok and my first trip report. I will try to do an update every three days or so as I am taking my time and won’t have much to add on a daily basis. Staying at the Hilton Millenium a little out but only 15 minutes to Sala Daeng and 100 bhat in the taxi back from Soi 4 so not too bad and I like the full service hotels and have points so that’s another reason I use the hotel, also no issues taking people to room. First night I did not realise was Loi Krathong so the hotel was full with youngsters in traditional dress taking there Lantern’s down to the pier to put in the river, very nice to see. To take away the stress of the first night I had a boy from Dreamboys who I offed twice on my fist visit come for the night, we have stayed in touch since February so was nice to see him, go to Icon Siam for a meal, the place was very busy and then have first night fun, he headed home after a large breakfast. Hilton dose serve a very large and good spread. Saturday was a lazy day about 8pm went across to Soi 2 and 4 and had a walk around the area to familiarise myself with the various locations, I have to say I find shamelessmack maps very useful in this. Was early about 8.45pm but decided to have a quick look inside The One, funny thing I went to Tawan in February but it was the night the police had closed the place so just found a locked shop. It was probably because I was too early, but I was the only person in the place, three models on the stage and everyone else on their phones completely ignoring me, all older 30 plus nothing toned more solid / some weight. I finished my 500 baht coke and left within 5 minutes. The guy outside who had taken me in then offered massage and sex but he was not my type, same as the guys in the shop so declined and headed off to I think Soi 2. I called in to Dragon and Koi, again this is about 9.20pm so still early, couple of people in the bar had a cocktail (395 baht) and a beer (130 baht) and was joined by one of the servers from Myanmar who spoke quite good English. Let me know he would be one of the dancers that night but I would miss him as by 10pm I was heading to Freshboys for the remainder of the night. Freshboys (10pm show started at 10.30pm) the boys where on stage in their white shorts doing the normal parade, all twink / twunk most nicely toned and my type. Did not think I was going to off anyone but decided to buy number 16 a drink and he stayed with me for the rest of the night, apart from going back on stage on three occasions. Very affectionate and with a fantastic hard body all muscle from Vietnam. The place got busy as the show started and was full of people, having to squeeze in by about 10.50pm. There were only three Diva songs (same person) which where quite good as well as the big dick show, shower show and at least two sets where oral sex was performed so I thought a good show. By the last parade at about 12.30am my boy had not been offed so after enjoying him for the best part of two and a half hours I changed plans and offed him for the night. Quick bite to eat at Foodland. Walking past Dragon and Koi it was definitely more busy with a dance show going on two boys on the floor and three on the bar, but you would think at that time on a Saturday night it should be. Lots of fun with my Vietnamese boy for the night he left after having breakfast. This has gone on far too long so will stop at day two. Hope my writing style is ok, having read a lot of trip reports I find it difficult to know if this is any good or waffle. Feedback and suggestions welcome.

Day 2 Bangkok - Part 1 Breakfast buffet at Ibis is ok. Not bad, but not great, either. Mixture of western and Asian cuisines. Western doesn’t seem to have much variation from day to day…cold cut ham slices, potatoes, chicken sausage, toast or pastry and eggs cooked to order. Asian has more variety, as I would expect. 199 Baht…don’t know how that compares to other places but convenient. My original plan was to check out one or two massage shops I had on my list, but those plans quickly went south when I received a message from a really handsome guy originally from Phuket. He has lived in Bangkok for approximately 13 years and is a supervisor with one of the bigger banks. Anyway, he had the day off and wanted to know if I would be interested in ‘hanging out’, as he put it. He is in his mid-30’s, very much a clean cut business type. Not exactly what I could call a twink type, but certainly not muscular, either. Plays badminton weekly with a group of friends. Again, not a MB. Anyway, we agreed to meet around 12 noon and literally hang out together for awhile. Lobby at Ibis seems to be a good meeting place for me. We walked down the street to Silom Complex and had lunch on one of the upper floors at a place called Banana Leaf. It was actually quite good. Enjoyed the company and conversation. After that we decided to take BTS over to Terminal 21 just to browse. I ended up buying a hat as I forgot to pack one and the top of my head will turn beet red if I spend any time in the sun at all. After walking around the mall, went out in the neighborhood to look for a place to get foot massage. Not something I have ever done, and would certainly never go to a shop that was 100% female! LOL. At least not on my own. But it was really quite relaxing, professional and very legitimate. I remember reading a recent post on here where someone had been to a salon for manicure and pedicure. After the foot massage I suggested we try that and he was in agreement. Both the foot massage and nail salon were between Asok and Nana BTS, but I would probably never be able to find them again on my own. By now it is close to 6pm and we have spent the entire afternoon together. We decided to return to the hotel to ‘take a rest’. We first took a shower, but not sure how much resting we actually did. Both guys from Grinder identify as gay and versatile. After some play time and cuddling, we were both hungry and decided to get some dinner. Walked through Patpong Night Market over to the next major street…possibly Surawong? Not sure. While looking for a restaurant we walked past Urban Thai, 2 Avarin, and Green massage. Urban Thai appeared to be all female, but the other three shops had many…possibly as many as 30 guys between them hanging outside encouraging people to come in. Decided to eat at Siam Cuisine near these shops. Do not recommend this place. Service was ok, but my companion said the food was not very good. We had ordered two different shrimp dishes and an appetizer platter. For me it was just ok, but he was disappointed in the quality and taste. During dinner, we had some discussion about possibly going to one of the shows. Not something I would normally do, but we finally decided to check out Moonlight. We had some time before the show so did a little browsing through the night market, then had an iced coffee at Starbucks.

Hey guys, This is report on my trip about 2 weeks ago in BKK. Had a work engagement there and decided to extend the stay for a short weekend vacation. Thought I'd share some info on the bars I've visited. (Sorry for any typos or grammar issues 🙏. Writing this out on my phone) Jupiter Finally, after talking about it in a few reports, I finally took a guy out from Jupiter! Lol I came in initially just to watch the show. It was a Friday night but the bar was no where nearly as crowded as before. Still a lot of customers relative to the other bars I went to, but plenty of empty seats. I had one of the mamasan helped me with the boys. Basically, from what I understand (and confirmed by the boy I eventually offed), about 5-6 guys only exclusively go with women. From the rest, a lot of the str8 guys are ok to go with male clients but vary in terms of what they are willing to do (usually they won't kiss other guys). The ones that are open to all are the gay models. The first guy I invited over for a drink was a fit, next door kinda guy that I had my eye on in my last trip. He spoke limited English so we chatted with a translator app. He quoted THB 4000, was ok with to fuck guys but he doesn't kiss. I thanked him and gave a small tip for his time. I then selected another guy from the rotation. He was lean fit, from Cambodia and smiled a lot. He was OK to do a lot of things (as a top, of course) and was pleasant to talk to (even gave a brief rundown on some of the other guys I was interested in). I offed him for a ST. We went to get something to eat before going back to the hotel. The only turn-off with this guy was that he brought up how he was financially struggling and had family issues several times from when we left the bar. I gave polite responses but didn't probe further. Back at the hotel, he did everything he said he would and we had a good time. All in all, I paid THB 1900 (2 drinks + entry fee + off fee) to the bar and THB 3000 to the model after having some fun. Atlas I went here on a Sunday. This was the biggest shock for me. The bar was deserted. Only about 8 guys on rotation, with probably only 1 qualifying as a muscle/bodybuilder. The others were either slim, overweight or just average. Only one other client beside me there. I didn't see any of the other Tawan guys that were there on my last trip. I spoke briefly with the owner but he seemed tired/distracted. After one drink, I just left. Tahn Tawan This was formerly Tawan/the One. Apparently, a new owner bought over a couple of months back (I'm sure someone mentioned this in another report). The bar was actually crowded, and there were more muscle guys/bodybuilders here than at Atlas. Some of the faces that were at Atlas before came back to Tawan. They had around maybe 15 guys, of which half at least are muscle/bodybuilding type of guys, while the other half is a mix of lean/fit next door guys or average twinks. (The guy who previously played the doorman role is now in rotation) I saw the guy I've offed several times before and decided to off him for that night. Huge bodybuilder guy, solid muscles though not shredded for competitions yet. He told me that he and several others left Atlas because apparently Atlas is trying to cater more to clients who prefer twinks (though from the my earlier visit, hardly seems that way). The new owner of Tawan apparently is a nice guy and flexible with the models. I had a good muscle worship session with him, followed by a good, passionate sex. Would definitely come back for him in my next trip. Cost-wise, boy's drink + entry + off fee was THB 1500, and tipped the guy THB 3000. Non-bar Boys Aside from the bars, I also had a long time session with a previous off who no longer works in bars (at the moment, at least). The sex was good when we met, but after that it was a little disappointing. I wanted to have a cuddle buddy for the night and maybe a morning sex too (hinted that to him before bed). I ended up with neither 🤣. He doesn't cuddle much, and was rather fixated with his phone. We had breakfast in the morning, tipped him THB 3500 and decided to go on with my day. He was a really sweet guy but whether it was because of miscommunication or he was just not into it, it seemed like a having a long time with him was a mistake on my part. Anyway, lesson learned 😅. Weather It was raining everyday when I was there but thankfully, only short rain spells which cleared after sometime. And the night was mostly clear while I was there, so no interruptions on my night activities.

Day 5 It didn’t start well. It was dawning when I woke up and noticed swollen lip- allergy , which is tormenting me this trip and also at home after return. Good thing I had a pill and took it, returned to bed but sensibly set alarm for 10 am. Zyrtec works as sleeping pill as well and I dd not want to miss breakfast , not to mention bus. Message on Line from CB, he already arrived in Bangkok this morning so I instructed him to wait fort me at 3 pm in the lobby of new Nishitetsu hotel by soi 4 as I decided to check it for one night. Indeed everything worked, 12 noon bus arrived at Swampy at 1.30and it was exactly 2.55 pm when I entered lobby. No CB in sight but I checked in, left them his name and asked them to hive him his own card and went up to the room. All fine, room new and shiny . I already posted some pictures of it in Hotels thread. https://www.gayguides.com/topic/68180-bkk-hotels-pros-cons/page/3/#comment-465959 Particularly impressive was safe fitting one of desk drawers. There’s no window in the room but there’ one in bathroom so there is way of seeing day from night. All in , I liked it and stay there two times- first and last. Reason is economical – for half price I have twice as big room in Raya with the same conveniences. But if you like new and shiny places – go for it by every mean. When in shower I heard door opening – CB arrived and promptly joined me in the shower. Some reunion gymnastics and we went to Foodland to eat something. While strolling around we met one of Moonlight boys and masseur from one of soi 6 shops who also works as go-go at Good Boys after hours. He was surprised to see me and promptly complained I did not tell him I’m coming. I told him “ I like that surprise smile on your face “ which is actually true.. We returned to hotel with me hoping for another round of reunion gymnastics but it seemed CB had other ideas like glue himself to his phone. We met many times and even travelled together but that was side of him I did not know. I guess whole 7 day only visa situation and resulting loss of earnings is stressing him immensely but while I understand it, not necessarily I must to like it. I told him frankly that if he wants to utilize fact that he has free accommodation with me this week he can go to work in bar to get some cash – it’s why, among other things I asked for his own kye card to the room so he can come and go freely. Some how he did not like that idea, asked instead if I will be hitting bars tonight and expressed desire to accompany me there, wherever I will be going. Today’s goal was clear – grand opening of Than Tawan in former The One and earlier Tawan location. Those are my impressions from Grand Opening I posted on the forum already in Patpong thread : “Yesterday I went to new Than Tawan to see their great opening in former The One and earlier , Tawan site. When we entered ( I went with boy at his urging ) only 2 other customers already but by time show started crowd swelled to respectable 12 including young Indian straight couple. To summarize new venue , it's just more of the same we knew from Tawan and The One. When we entered on stage two guys presented themselves, both not bad looking but first time I saw them was in Arena Bank in 2013. I'm kidding you not. So much about fresh blood on the market. Show itself usual blend of lip syncing and muscle flexing, nothing risky or compromising other than simulated BJ and big cock parade. And of course, performers solicit tip after circulating among audience. In short, it's still renamed Tawan or The One. No fresh blood and no fresh ideas. For this who liked all format it's sucessful resurrection. For those hoping for new kind of thrills, we'll look somewhere else. Final note - best looking was one of waiters, unfortunately uniformed all the time” After show, at 11 pm. Or so we went to Jupiter. And those are my impressions already posted : “we went to Jupiter where upon entry at 11.05p.m. We were treated to coveted seats right under the speaker which was blasting at 1. 5 capacity plus something. Noting new there either but show, was well attended and, what I hate there, most of prime seats were reserved for better customers which I understand but still hate. Noting new includes fortunately fact that all guys were very good looking and they managed to add quite a few new bodies I did not see before. Common wisdom in bars is that if guy doesn't wear the number, he is already booked or not available for an off. We'll it is not necessary correct as after show it was, at least for me, quite clear that some non numbered guys are still looking expectantly at customers of both genders. No idea how it works but my advice will be if one has hots for them boy it's better not to trust bar liturgy but get that "no" or even better "yes" from either mamasan or as I would prefer, from boy himself. “ After those bar forays we went to Patpong night market fort banana pancakes and then final to the room for steamy gymnastics. It looks that at night CB has less desire to clutch his phone and can’t say a bad word about his performance but it clearly looks I will need to entertain him in day time and it’s not exactly what I was hoping for . But since I invited him I need to carry on hoping for the best.

Woke up still wrapped in the warmth of last night. Min was sound asleep beside me, one arm across the pillow, hair a little messy, looking like someone who had zero interest in the Songkran chaos outside. I didn’t move for a while. Just lay there, feeling that rare kind of peace and quiet . When we finally stirred and made our way downstairs for breakfast, he was back to his usual self—quiet, polite, and flashing those soft smiles that somehow made the air around us feel calmer. There was something deeply relaxing about his presence. No demands. Just chill. After breakfast, he headed off, and I started getting ready to meet his older brother, T, over at the Starbucks in Surawong. Just as I was stepping out of the room, I got a message from him saying he was up and getting ready too. Down in the hotel parking, the staff were clearly in Songkran mode. Buckets tucked behind the counter, people already a little wet, music playing faintly from someone’s speaker. The housekeeping auntie—who I’ve grown fond of—walked over holding a small container of something grey and smeared it across my cheeks with expert confidence. It smelled earthy, fresh, a little sweet. Later Raposa would tell me it was sandalwood paste, part tradition, part cooling agent, part “let’s make tourists look like locals.” I stayed for a bit, chatting, laughing, letting their playful energy rub off on me. Over at Starbucks, I grabbed my second coffee and settled in. T arrived looking like he hadn’t yet been claimed by the water war. I got him a drink, and he gave my outfit a once-over—shorts, waterproof pouch, sandals. He seemed satisfied, though he noted I wasn’t packing coins for water refills. He said don't worry he'll be taking care of it. He just quietly handled things and I like that vibe from him. That’s kind of his thing. We headed through Patpong, which in broad daylight felt surreal. The whole place looked like it was taking a nap—shuttered bars, neon signs turned off, a few shopkeepers hosing down their sidewalks. It felt more like a movie set after wrap than the fever-dream it usually becomes at night. At Silom, we stopped to get proper soakers. The stall had everything from tiny pistols to full-blown backpack cannons. I picked a decent mid-range one, something that said "I came to play" but not "I have unresolved rage issues." Before I could even reach for my wallet, T had already paid for both of us. He shrugged it off saying I can pay him later, no fuss. And then came the surprise: we wouldn’t just be a duo. Min was joining us again, along with their younger sister and her Vietnamese friend, who’d flown in specifically for Songkran. The dynamic shifted quickly. I suddenly felt like I was part of a family outing I hadn’t been officially invited to. Two brothers, a sister, a guest. And me—the wildcard. It hit me for a moment. How do I fit here? Do I introduce myself as the guy who just woke up next to your brother? The one who’s now tagging along with the other one? It was absurd and vaguely hilarious being the mystery guest among siblings. And not just any guest—the guy who's slept with at least two of them. Internally, I panicked. What’s the etiquette here? "Hi, I’m the guy from your brothers’ shared folder?" But the feeling didn’t last long. The girls were chatty and disarming. They pulled me in effortlessly. Min, maybe because he was with family, was more playful than I’d seen him—joking around, tossing water like he had a score to settle. T kept checking on me in his quiet way. Making sure I wasn’t lagging, that I had enough water, that I was having fun. He didn’t hover, but he was always near. Silom was already packed. Buckets being flung from everywhere, hoses spraying down strangers, foam cannons blasting into the air. It was overcast, with a bit of drizzle, which made everything feel cool and almost cinematic. No one was spared. Old women. Kids. Tourists. Everyone got drenched and no one cared. Music pounded from storefronts, the kind of repetitive EDM that makes you forget what time it is. We walked the full length of the road and back. My shirt clung to my skin. Water pooled in my sandals. I was freezing and grinning like a fool. The crowd was just right—not yet overwhelming, but still electric. Eventually, back near Saladaeng, the group decided they’d had enough. The girls looked happy, Min seemed ready to hibernate, and the energy had mellowed. One by one, they started to head off. T said he was heading home too—to his own place, which I learned wasn’t the same one Min stays in. We stood there a bit, just the two of us now. He didn’t seem in a hurry, but he wasn’t lingering either. I felt a pull—not dramatic, just a quiet nudge that said I wasn’t quite ready to be alone yet. Maybe it was how he'd looked after me all day. Maybe I just wanted to end the day on my own terms. So I asked if he wanted to come back to my place instead. It wasn’t rehearsed. I didn’t dress it up. I just asked. And I meant it in that very specific way where you're not asking for more, but you're hoping the moment lasts a little longer. He looked at me, calm as ever, and nodded. That was enough. Back at the hotel, we peeled off our soaked clothes and we showered off the grime, the chalky paste, and whatever questionable liquid had landed on us earlier. The hot water felt like a full-body reset. No rush, no expectations. When we finally collapsed into bed, it wasn’t about anything but rest. No deep talk. No big moment. Just two people wiped out from the same strange, happy kind of day.

Back a few years ago, I said I met the love of my life at Tawan. Well, there were many naysayers. But, here is the thread: So, skip forward a few years, we are still together and doing great. He has been an amazing addition to this old man's later life. He keeps me busy, on my toes, and entertained. Not easy to do, but sometimes, you just know on the first meet. The BF of over 20 years, I knew that day. And, we are still together (kinda) as he has a farm now and lives with his family but talk daily. When I call, he comes that day. When I need him, he is there. When he needs me, I'm there. As for the love of my life, he has been a true joy. Don't let the people tell you that romance dies at a certain age or that every bar boy is the same. They are not. They are often diamonds in the rough and it takes patience, love, attention, and money.

It may be because I've just returned from Thailand and am, bluntly, fed-up....that I can sympathise with visitors who have disappointments there; we all do, whether it be an unsuccessful "off" or, in my case, a poor meal. Very few of those, by the way! However, for someone contemplating a grey, chilly day in London, thousands of miles away from his loved-one I must encourage adopting the Buddhist principle of (as P tells me, ad nauseam) "thinking good." It is true that, the older I get, the harder it is to look on the bright side but, for heaven's sake, the vast majority of guys on the scene whom we meet are friendly, reasonable in their demands. And fun. That was my experience, anyway. For me, just to wander through the JC before bedtime (embarrassingly early in my case) enjoying the cheerful smiles, the enticing offers- cheerful and not persistent when refused- and the sheer joyfulness (at their best) of the guys is something I treasure. And even more so in retrospect. I just like being smiled at! Is there anywhere else in the world where such pleasures are available so cheaply and so safely? and when the assignation isn't so good, it is so easy to say, "Mai pen rai; tomorrow's will be better". And it will be.

well well well, after weeks of lurking on this forum I finally made my way to the land of the big dick tops… i spent 2.5 weeks ass up, face down letting these hung dominican and haitian dicks swim deep in my velvety guts. So starting off... I am going to list MY EXPERIENCE and what I recommend and don’t recommend when traveling to SD. My post will be a detailed account of my sexcapades and also, an update on various information/places/procurers in santo domingo. Thank you to all the people who messaged me, answered questions, and gave me tons of information. To & From the AIRPORT: I utilized Manny’s airport pickup service from SDQ to Zona Colonial. My transportation arrived early and was waiting for me at the terminal, he carried my bags up the stairs to my AIRBNB and charged me $40 USD (I gave him a $5 tip). LEAVING SD, I opted to take an uber which was cheaper and easier since I had got acclimated to the city. STAY: My stay was a little over 2 weeks and I got an AIRBNB for all of my trip except the last weekend, where I stayed in a hotel (would not recommend). A lot of the hotels charge a fee for guests and while they do offer a sense of security, I didn’t want anyone in my business or hearing my pleasure screams 😏. Personally, AIRBNB’S are easier to deal with, you don’t have to pay a fee for guests and you can have as many people over as you want. I will say hotels do offer the safety of being around people, but (depending on where you found your hookup) you should know if they are safe to be around. PROCURERS: There’s Manny, Fredy, Christian, & a newer 4th option from Skokka named Anthony. MANNY: Once Manny knew I was for sure heading to the DR, he sent me a folder of pics of men available… Initally, when we met Manny tried to persuade me to pay $100USD for each man, but I told him the average was $3000 Pesos, and he changed his tune. I told Manny that I preferred raw sex/creampies and he asked me how extra I as willing to pay, I’m sure I could’ve said $3500 pesos, I but I was fine with $4000. Manny is a solid guy and reliable, but he is here to make money, so remember that and set a price that is reasonable and in line with what you expect to pay. Manny is the man though I fuck with him heavy FREDY: a month before my trip I reached out to Fredy. Fredy asked me what I wanted and connected me to a “top” that spoke english… but he wasn’t my type at all and after a few weeks of talking I just wasn’t feeling him. When I asked Fredy for his other options and photos of them he never delivered. He complained about men going behind is back to contact tops, and how he wouldn’t make money, but there was no way to get contact info from pictures so after a while I stopped writing him. His communication is also spotty, we agreed to connect when I got to town, but once I arrived it was easier to connect with people willing to make the process easier by sending pictures. CHRISTIAN: Christian delivered a folder of hung men, but initially asked me for $150USD— we narrowed it down to 4000 pesos, but Manny had already came through. ANTHONY: I found anthony through skokka and though he has a ton of men, I didn’t trust him or his energy. Most of Anthony’s men are haitain and being a black man myself I would’ve loved to let a few of them put me through the mattress, maybe next time. SKOKKA: Weeks before traveling to the DR, I saved about 50 contacts/photos of tops that i planned on fucking, while I reached out to some of them I grew tired of messaging them. Also, make sure your translations are correct, I accidentally messaged a straight man and he told me that he participated in the murder of a gay man… He began laughing and I went off on him explaining that I had seen pictures of him from his post on Skokka and i let him know that he weighed about 150lbs and that i could easily kill him if he tried to attack me. Suffice to say, he stopped replying and hasn’t posted on skokka again. But be careful! do not put yourself in harms way. That interaction left a bad taste in my mouth, so I was over reaching out to the other tops I had wanted to fuck. There are solid tops on skokka but there are also a lot scams so be careful and be midnful. After arriving at my AIRBNB, Manny showed up 10 minutes later, I let him inside and we talked then did a quick tour of Zona Colonial he wanted to take me to a specific Money Exchange, but I already settled on one… MONEY EXCHANGE: I did some research on youtube and found the most reliable Money Exchange place was Frank el Azuano inside Paseo Del Conde @arabcreamer later mentioned them too, so i knew it was a solid place. If you run out of money there’s an ATM in off C. El Conde in Supermercados Nacional that will give you Dominican Pesos. HOURLY/CHEAP HOTELS: Now if you do find yourself in hotel that charges you to have guests or an airbnb host that is watching your every move (cameras, etc) there are cheap hotels: HOTEL BLANCO is off of C. El CONDE and costs $1500 pesos a night. HOTEL BELLA MAR is an hourly/overnight hotel that is very cheap, but has no wifi and no keys to the rooms. If HOTEL BELLA MAR is sold out go next door, it’s the same set up with the same prices. CRUISING: Popular cruising spot Duarte Park is under construction. The only other options are Marlowe’s, Apolo Spa (gay spa with dark room), Casa Paco’s, Esedeku (gay club with dark room), C. El Conde, & Grindr/Jack’d. Besides Apolo Spa and Esedeku, I didn’t do much cruising. I don’t look like I’m gay or a bottom so cruising doesn’t always work for me unless I make it blatantly obvious that I am looking for dick. MY SEXCAPADES: Now, I explained to Manny that raw sex is MY personal preference. Before reading this know I am on Prep + Doxy and I am tested regularly. On the first night Manny brought two hung tops to my apartment. A dark-skinned marvel with a 12 inch monster (we’ll call him Mr. 12 inches) made for deep drilling, and a beefy-plushy stud with 10 inches of girthy dick (we’ll call him Mr. Thick Dick) made to stretch holes. I paid him his fee (1000 pesos a top) and soon we were left alone. I led them to the bedroom and we got to work. First I went for Mr. 12 inches, I throated his entire dick and kept my throat at the base of his dick while he moaned loudly. While continuing to throat him, I began playfully touching Mr. thick dick’s dick - he was already hard and laid back and closed his eyes as I continued to fondle him. I continued to let Mr. 12 inches into the back of my throat, moving up and down his shaft, pinching his left nipple with my hand, while simultaneously stroking Mr. Thick Dick to my right. I’m definitely a throat goat, but I usually only suck dick to get the dick hard so I can be fucked, but I enjoyed Mr 12 hitting the back of my throat, his dick somehow fit perfectly into my throat and I took advantage of it. He begins slapping my ass and this only turns me on more. I started to taste his pre-cum and knew I should let him fuck me soon before he nuts down my throat… So I motion him to my ass. As he begins to push in my guts, I throat Mr. Thick Dick, his dick is so girthy at its base I can’t even fit it into my throat. There’s a full 2 to 3 inches of dick left - and I just can not fit it not my throat… I start to feel Mr 12 inches knocking on my hole and I take a deep whiff of poppers as he stabs my silky guts, we both moan as he hits my walls… I’m ass up face down in the crotch of Mr. Thick Dick, with Mr 12 inches digging deep into my pleasure hole. He hits his stride and begins deep fucking me so good I can no longer suck Mr. Thick’s Dick… Mr. Thick Dick is still rock hard and slapping his pole against my face… but there’s no use, I have fully submitted to Mr. 12 inch and he is in HEAAAT… fucking every inch, every angle, every curve of my guts… It hurts so good and all I can do is take it - ALL of it. I lay on the bed, arch my ass up and continue to let Mr 12 inches annihilate me. At this point I’m timing when to push out my hole to let him dig deeper into my guts and when to grip his dick as he’s pulling out to give him more pleasure… His strokes start to get more violent, his breathing more labored and I know he’s getting close to nutting… Soon he’s hitting my guts like a drum… SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP, deeper and deeper and then he forces his dick deep into my 2nd hole, I feel his shaft twitch inside me and a burst of warm nut spray against my walls…. He starts to convulse and I wrap my legs around him, pulling him deeper into me as he continues to nut in me. After all his nut has been dispensed, he slowly pulls out of my freshly seeded hole and begins to walk to to bathroom. I stop him, get on my knees and slowly but gently throat his dick again, this time making sure I clean all the cum that’s covering it. He convulses again, laughs and then heads to the bathroom as I swallow the left over cum from his dick. I turn my attention back to Mr. Thick Dick, who’s playing with his meaty monster alone…I give his hefty dick a kiss and began my attempt to throat his dick again, I manage to get 8 or 9 inches into my throat, but again, he is much too thick to be throated completely…. I suck and toy with his dick, and he enjoys it, but he pushes my mouth away and motions me to bend over. After watching me take Mr. 12 inches like a champ, I’m guessing he can’t wait to knock my walls loose too. His girthy dick pushes inside my creamy hole and he immediately slaps my cakes and begins to dick me down. With each stroke I feel my hole widen, he too hits a stride and continues to beat my guts up non-stop… Where Mr. 12inches had the length to hit parts of my guts few men have hit, Mr. Thick Dick had the girth to stretch my hole in ways few men have too. He fucked me for what seemed like an eternity then dropped two nuts deep inside me. I scour to his dick and clean the cum off of it as he moans. At this point, Mr. 12 inches had returned and waved his massive dick in my face… I sucked his dick for a minute, but he assumed I turned round 2 down so he got dressed and I was too shy to ask what was going on… and that was that… Manny later told me, he wanted another round, but thought I turned him down… Had I of known I would’ve gladly let him wreck my guts again. I collect myself, get dressed and pay the boys their fees… Later that night I go to Marlowe’s for a drink and run into Mr. Thick Dick again, I bring him back to my room he fucks another nut deep into my guts. ab481bcd-c5d7-419d-a24d-a858c7f4eb7c.mp4 On Night Two, I told Manny I wanted Mr. 12 inches again, but he shows up with this fine hung top (we’ll call him “The Model”), and tells me that Mr. 12 Inch will be arriving soon. I turn the top down and Manny tells me, “Go in the other room and give his dick a taste.” So I take him to the other room, he lays on the couch and pulls out a beautiful dick. On soft he’s already around 8 inches, so I throat him for a few seconds, let his dick harden and reach the back of my throat. His dick is fucking beautiful, but I didn’t plan on having a threesome on this day (I only wanted Mr. 12 Inch), so I get his number and tell him I’ll reach out to him later in the evening. It turns out Mr. 12 inches is an hour or so away, so I decide to fuck The Model instead. Now don’t get me wrong, I am attracted to ALL body types, I told Manny I wanted Hung Tops over 9.5 Inches and that I had a preference for Darkskin Tops, but was open to all complexions, but The Model was fine as fucccck with an athletic body that made me want to be his little bitch. So he comes back upstairs, I make him and I a drink and we head to the bedroom. He lays down and I start throating his dick, up and down, I’m doing all sorts of tongue tricks and suction, and deep throating and he’s laid back moaning looking sexy as ever. I motion to him that I’m ready to take dick and we switch places… As sexy as this man is, he needs porn to stay hard, I grab my laptop, enter the type of porn he likes and boom… he’s rock hard… I give him one last kiss from my throat then bend over… He pushes into my gushiness and begins railing my hole… His stroke is nice and I can’t help but throw my ass back on him. His moans start increasing and he’s pushing into my second hole, slapping my ass sporadically. We fuck for a bit of time until I feel his stroke increase, he pushes in me deep yells at the top of his lungs and nuts deep into my guts… I grab his waist as he continues to nut inside me, panting with each spurt of cum… He pulls out and I suck the cum off his dick… his dick is still hard af, so I push it back inside me and he fucks me even rougher this time… until nuts again. I suck the cum off his dick delicately and he tells me, “Gracias por tu been tasero.” As I pay him he asks me for an additional $2000 pesos, but I tell him our agreement was $4000 pesos. We agree to meet later in the week and he leaves. A few hours later Mr. 12 inches comes over and puts me through the mattress again, his dick is a perfect fit for my hole and every time we fuck we both give each other that work! I begin to deep throat Mr. 12 inches, by now he’s use to the fact that his dick and my throat are a match so he sits back and enjoys the pleasure. When he’s ready he gets behind me and slowly pushes into my guts… feeling out my walls, pushing into my second hole, feeling me out, before destroying my guts with his sledgehammer. He hits his stride and fucks me non-stop until I break his stroke by laying down and arching my back. Now he’s on top digging deep and i feel the twitch, hear his grunt, and feel the warm explosion of cum in my guts. The Model (he didn’t care that I took a picture of his face, but I’m leaving it out to protect him): For the next 2 days, I gave my hole a break to recover from the beating these guys gave it. I resume being an insatiable slut and for the rest of my trip I fucked Mr. 12 inch and Mr. Thick Dick almost every night until the end of my trip. I also hooked up with one guy off Grindr, a persistent top from Marlowe’s (and later his lying ass friend), another hung top from Manny that can Fuuuuuuck, a sexy top from JuanBinBin, and a very sexy top at Apolo Spa (non-paid)… 11 Inch Monster: Outside of Mr 12 inches, Mr. Thick Dick, & The Model, Manny brought me an 11inch monster Twink top that fucks like a jackrabbit. His dick is massive and gets girthier as you get to the base of his dick. The sex was great, but short, he dug me out, but I expected a longer session. He lasted about 9 minutes until he came, so I gave him an extra $1500 pesos for another round - fucked the shit out of me again, jabbed me deep with his dick and painted my walls white with nut. This time he collapsed on top of me and i could feel the cum leaking out as he breathed deep. He slowly pulled out of my freshly used hole and I sucked his cummy dick clean. 11 Inch JacKRabbit: 44e75770-0a5c-41a4-96d6-522938e2ecf5.mp4 5e750e26-74ef-40da-aa26-277a3c5aa831.mov Grindr: I only hooked up with one guy on Grindr, there were a lot of men messaging me, but so many of them were sketchy and it’s best to trust your gut. The guy I did let smash was a a beautiful dark skinned hatian man with 8 inches and he fucked the shit out of me after I throated his dick… He’s drilling me and asking me in Spanish, “Es esto bueno?” And I keep replying, “Si, es mi culo bueno?” we playfully say this to each other until he nuts, then I suck his dick clean… I Notice he’s still hard and put his dick back inside… This time I bend down lower so he can dig deeper into my guts, he nuts quicker this time, I playfully and slowly suck his dick clean, we exchange numbers. Marlowe’s: Marlowe’s is fun, they have some good cheap drinks (but make sure they give you the correct change back, some bartenders will try and play you) and there’s an entire back area with tops and bottoms trying to get into some ass or take some dick for $$$. On weeknights Marlowe’s can be dead about an hour or 2 before closing so get there sometime before 10. I read on here that you can “sample” dicks at Marlowe’s and then take them to your hotel, I would not recommend this, as some of the tops will try to pressure you into paying them for doing so. I exchanged numbers with this hung top who was eager to fuck me, but kept following me everywhere at Marlowe’s, I “sampled” his dick (I sucked it for about 5 seconds) and he demanded I pay him $1000 pesos. I quickly told him, “No!” He tried to cause a scene to intimidate me and I had quickly let him know that I was not the one. I left Marlowe’s without paying him a damn thing and he later blew my phone up trying to apologize… For days he tried to convince me to let him fuck me and I gave in near the end of my trip, because 1). I wanted to fuck him 2). I had already established that he didn’t put any amount of fear into me and that I could handle myself 3). I laid down the ground rules for how our interaction would go. We fucked and it was good, his rate was reasonable and he came correct this time. It’s all about confidence, do not let any of these men intimidate you. You don’t have to “sample” the dick before going to a room, but make sure you get a good look at their dicks, some will lie about their size to get you into a room. Do not be afraid to say NO, do not be afraid to stand up for yourself. At the end of the day, most of the men at Marlowe’s are always there and they are not trying to ruin their cashflow, just keep your wits about you and read people’s energy. If someone is VERY eager to fuck you they are probably desperate and desperate people do desperate things. But also, Marlowe’s is NOT a scary place as I’ve read in a few posts. The owner is a great guy from America. Plus, on the weekends at Marlowe’s there are a TON of hung tops, you can even find a few bottoms I wouldn’t recommend fucking at Marlowe’s but it does happen, but people are nosy, and some will try and watch. The Marlowe’s Top: a7a71fb7-6091-45b1-a86b-26563364f962.mov JuanBinBin: I went to JuanBinBin around midnight on a weekday… It’s true what they say, the neighborhood is not good at all and it’s best to order your uber inside and wait til it arrives. They charge 3000 Pesos and have an assortment of men available. When I went there were about 7 to 10 men, some of the men there supposedly don’t get hard and you’d waste your money picking them. I was fortunate enough, to catch a regular client who spoke English, and he recommended me a top that was a “God of fucking,” his words not mine. Sure enough, the top had a nice 9inch dick, a cute twinkish/swimmer’s build body and a beautiful copper toned complexion. We head to the room, I tell him what I want/like I throat him and he digs my guts out properly. We exchange numbers and promise to see each other again before I leave. For 3000 pesos, JuanBinBin was hassle free and an 6 to 8 minute uber from Zona Colonial. Apolo Spa: Went to Apolo Spa on a Thursday evening with a friend who’s from Santo Domingo. It was surprisingly busy. 1st floor is a shop, a bar, and lockers, while upstairs is the saunas, video room, private booths, 2 dark rooms, and shower. It was $500 Pesos to enter. At Apolo there were some Tops that would act like they were into you, and the second you get ready for sex they’d ask you for $$$, I didn’t come to Apolo to pay for sex, so I turned down the tops that asked for it… I ran into this sexy bald milk chocolate skinned man stroking in the video room. I head over to him, get on my knees and begin kissing his dick in a circular motion, while going all the way down to the base of his dick up and down again. He’s got an 8.5 inch beauty and I can tell by his moans he’s not use to being throated so easily, he grabs the back of my head and begins pushing it down on his dick while he pushes his pelvis up into my face — and I just lose it… I shove his dick deep down my throat and hold it there, up and down up and down up and down… Suddenly there’s a crowd of men circling around us jacking off and as I keep sucking the soul out of him, he slaps my ass. “Good, he’s a fucking top,” I think, “he’s about to fuck the shit out of me.” I get up pull him off the chairs and he follows me to the private rooms. Inside the room I sit down and begin throating him again and now he’s slapping my face, grabbing my chin and treating me like his little bitch. Now, I’m a masculine bottom, but I LOVE to be bitched out, but very few men have the energy to get me to submit— and he just had it. He choked me, licked my face, kissed me on the lips then forced his dick down my throat… Then he pulled me up bent me over and dug deep into my guts. Our sexual chemistry was so good, he nutted back to back. I sucked his dick clean and he kissed me while playfully choking me. He then slaps my ass and we go our separate ways. An hour later, he’s back in the video room and I’m once again on my knees and he’s once again taking me to the private booths to fuck me two more times. We spend the rest of the night together, we exchange numbers, and we’ve been talking everyday since…. I’m actually visiting SD before summer to see him again — he might just be bae. Esedeku: is a disco type gay club that all the locals go to, they have cheap drinks, good music and two floors with an active dark room on the 2nd floor. It gets PACKED on the weekends after midnight as it’s the only true gay club in the city. This is a good place to go if you want to dance, meet people, get fucked in a dark room, or just vibe. In my experience the club was free. And yeah, every bartender there is sexy af. If you get there early they’ll let you pick songs to play over the speakers too. I also had some fun in the dark room by this hung man who pulled my hair as he dicked me down down for ten minutes straight. Fun times. Now a few last minute things: While there are dangerous areas of Santo Domingo the main thing is to be smart, be aware, and be confident. A lot of the advice I received was fear based, and simply not true. A lot of the horror stories you read on this forum can be avoided by having common sense and street smarts. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself. Even if you don’t speak Spanish.

Day 8 Bangkok Well, as the saying goes, too many men and too little time. Realized when I went down for breakfast this morning at the hotel that tomorrow is Friday and I will transfer from Ibis Silom to the tour hotel in the afternoon for the beginning of the next part of my adventure. There are still so many different massage shops I had hoped to try that are not even going to make it on the short list, which is very sad and disappointing. Now that I have also dipped my toe into the world of clubs, it has wet my appetite to check out some of the others. I am afraid these adventures to explore more will have to wait for another trip. There will be some ‘down time’ on the tour where you can opt out of certain experiences, and I may take advantage of that while still in Bangkok. Once we are on the road going to different communities, not sure what mischief I may get into, but am definitely planning to keep my options open. Already know when we reach our final destination of Chiang Mai that I want to visit Aqua CNX and Classic House. Also mentioned to Woody about possibly going to the club there, Adams Apple, if we have time. Anyway, planning to lay low this morning at the hotel and probably sleep a little more. Not sure what time Paradise young man will contact me, but expect that won’t be until later afternoon or early evening, which gives me a little time to play during the afternoon. lol. Had a lazy morning hanging out at the hotel. Was not sure if I wanted to venture out for fun or not. Had mixed feelings about whether the meeting with my Paradise guy was actually going to happen. You just never know about these things. Was hopeful that all would go according to plan, but trying to be realistic at the same time. As it turns out, there was no need to be worried or concerned. He lives about 50 minutes by motorbike outside city center. Sent me a message via LINE to let me know he was going to head my way around 2pm. Ask if he had a swimsuit and told him if he did to bring it. If not, we would go and buy one. He had one. Since he was coming for the afternoon, I decided against venturing out and getting into any more mischief. At the recommendation of @vinapu, had the lunch special of cashew chicken at my hotel. For me, it was the best of all three locations. Had no mushrooms whatsoever, plenty of white meat chicken and cashews along with red, green, and yellow peppers as well as onion. Also came with a fried egg, which was a nice touch. By the time ‘Sam’ arrived it was close to 3pm. Came up to the room, we changed into swimsuits, and went up to the rooftop to enjoy the pool and relax. Ordered a couple of appetizers to snack on as well. He said he had already had lunch, but wasn’t 100% sure he was being honest with me. Knew it would be awhile before any dinner, so couldn’t hurt to have a couple of things to snack on. He also had a beer…I stayed with my Thai tea. Was just a nice change of pace and relaxing afternoon. Eventually headed back down to the room where we proceeded to enjoy a shower together, some play time, serious cuddle time, short nap, then headed out to explore the night market and find a place to have dinner. Just a nice relaxing evening compared to what I have been putting my body through the rest of my trip. lol. Decent restaurant on Silom not far from Night Market. Had some Sea Bass soup and Wagyu grilled steak. I am not a big seafood lover, but actually enjoyed the soup more than the steak. Sam preferred the steak. He also enjoyed another bottle of Chang. He was so polite and really over-protective of me while we were out walking around. Wanted to make sure I was ok and having a good time. I was enjoying the attention and the affection. Headed back to the hotel for some more playtime before falling asleep with my arms wrapped tightly around him. Magical, blissful evening for me…hopefully for him as well.

To start with this was NOT a guy hunting trip at all so if somebody is looking for juicy staff you can stop reading now. It was also completely unplanned but when accidentally while looking for something else I spotted very attractive package of flight , centrally located hotel with breakfast and transfer from and to airport, all of the sudden I had urge to see what changed in 47 years since my last visit there. I was not planning to write anything but was encouraged to do so by few members and I yielded to pressure , lol, And I’m glad I did although not entirely for right reasons – I’m great lover of ruins and sadly a lot of building stock in Havana are ruins or about to become ones and still plenty of them are inhabited. Still there are plenty of pockets of grand edifices already renovated or being in process of. Thus city is full of contrasts where ruined or half ruined building is standing next to shiny place/ hotel / museum and often stretch of street with piles of uncollected garbage taking half of her width after few steps becomes clean, neatly paved block of cafes and restaurants. Parts of city further from Old City like Vedado and Miramar are much neater but also less interesting . I felt in love with the city and chances are I will visit next year as well as week ( 6 full days, arrived late evening on day 1 , departed early morning on day 8 ). There are few paradoxes which ,make city quite unique. First , its dirty, streets are full of rubbish which is being collected but obviously not fast enough and still in all my day long walks here and there I did not see single rat while in Bangkok, shiny capital of much more developed country hardly evening stroll along Silom or Suriwong goes without spotting one. Second, despite police being rarely visible- I don’t think I saw 2-3 cops in my week there city is very safe and it needs to be said , more dark and uninviting street looked, more safe and undisturbed I felt. I’m not kidding you. Sure, it must be crime , one evening I noticed I’m followed but people on the street seem to ignore tourists passing by. Of course there are bloody exceptions – Central Park, all 4 plazas in Old City and Obispo – pedestrianized street connecting Central Park and Plaza de Armas in old City. There one is harassed without mercy and Havana hustlers are among the worst and most persistent I ever met and believe me , I was here and there . But as I said , solution can be relatively easy – use side street to reach your destination and you will be left alone. Few practical information : Internet – in hotel it was very poor and after day of trying without success I gave up. Simply because I had solution at had- SIM card purchased in the airport for 7$ for 7 days, worked very well without glitch. Of course because of idiotic American embargo certain sites were out or reach i.e. e-bay , but I could get to this forum without any issues, e-mail worked, Grindr worked but closest profiles I could see were from Key West 90 miles away. Food- situation much better than I expected. Bangkok this is not but restaurants are in all tourist frequented places and simple snacks and even pastries can be purchased almost everywhere. Quality may not necessarily be highest and serving tastiest but all what I had was edible plus at least. Meal in private restaurant on one of plazas , count on 10 $, if you find government one , I will be half of that. No, I did not have any stomach problems. Breakfast in hotel was surprisingly varied, at least 4 kinds of cold cuts, delicious if one likes salt but beacon was excellent , so not for one second in my wanderings was I hungry. Beer was surprisingly good for less then 1$ and can be purchased in myriad simple stores opened by everybody whenever aunt Rosita sends parcel from Miami. Best beer was Bucanero Max, quite strong one at 6.5 %, there were also lesser known Spanish and Dutch beers for sale along with some of locally produced which I venture to say taste better than American or Canadian stuff. Stuff I did no see for sale was toilet paper and tea so better bring your own. Apart from hotel room only toilet where I saw toilet paper was in the airport but public toilets whenever I went were reasonably clean and maintained. If there’s attendant , she will expect some ‘donation.’. Money, official rate is about 120 peso ( CUP ) / USD but I doubt anybody is exchanging at that rate. Only exchange counter I saw was in the airport. Street rate is slightly above 400, I was exchanging at 435. If somebody quotes you attractive like 500 – be prepared you will be cheated. Guy who carried my suitcase to the room told me ‘don’t exchange money on street “ and he was right as I learned next morning to my peril. Best way is to find driver or restaurant proprietor, even better host of casa particulare (bed and breakfast ), in short some place where you can count your money. Another solution is to bring plenty of low denomination of USD and use it for payments, restaurants may give you change in local money – I paid 6000 bill with 20 $ note , they gave me change in pesos. Foreign coins are useless , euro often is taken 1: 1 with USD so not very economical. Getting around: Local transport – there are local busses but I did not use one and while crowded , certainly not overwhelmingly so like sometimes shown in You Tube . From Park Central there are 2 tourist busses hop-on, hop-off type , one T1 goes around the city stopping at 20+ various attractions , another one T3 goes to Eastern Beaches and it’s handy to get to Morro castle on other side of Havana bay. Both cost 10$ for a day so you . Bicycle taxis are everywhere and 2 hours city tour I took on 1st day for 10$ was one of best things I did as I gave me great idea where various places of interest are. There are regular taxis , fees negotiable. And finally crown of them all – classic American cars from 50ties which can be renter for tour but also as ordinary taxi. There are tons of those and if you are ancient car lover there’s no better place in the entire world than Havana to indulge. 1 hr drive 25-30 $ more tomorrow, may be even it will be some gay stuff

Day 4 Bangkok - Part 1 There is a massage shop called The Master Gallery that isn’t located anywhere near other shops or what one could consider the gay area of Bangkok. It is kind of out of the way and not near BTS or subway. To be honest, I don’t even recall how I learned about this shop. But, I have been receiving their updates via LINE and there was one therapist that I really fell in love with just from the photo. Found their twitter account and even more photos of this adorable young man. I have probably been dreaming about him obsessively for over a year. I was warned on the forum by @vinapu not to get my hopes up on any one specific therapist because they come and go for many various reasons. About two months ago his photo disappeared from their LINE and nothing new on twitter, either. My heart sank. I resigned myself to the fact I had missed out on this opportunity by distance and timing. Oh well, I’ll get over it. Then, recently I came across the name of another massage shop called Men Care. I don’t remember where I read about it, but most likely it was mentioned by someone on this forum. In checking them out I discovered they have three locations, with one in Sathorn area about 45 minutes walk from the Ibis Silom. Too far for me to walk, so took Grab there and back. This particular shop is near the Ibis Sathorn and actually inside Tivoli Hotel for those of you familiar with the area. Anyway, I started receiving their LINE updates and also checked online to see if they had a website (Facebook & Instagram) and a twitter/X account. While scrolling through the twitter account, it seems they have a relatively new addition to their staff. And, even better, it is the guy I have been drooling over for months!!! So I contacted them via LINE to ask if my preferred guy worked at the Sathorn location and, if so, would he be available for a 2pm session today. The answer to both questions was a resounding ‘YES’. Their therapists rotate around between all three shops, so whichever location is the most convenient for you is where the therapist will meet you. The Sathorn location is literally at the back of the Tivoli Hotel. Walk past the hotel lobby through the parking area to the back of the building. There is a large sign, so you cannot miss it. Enter through double glass doors into a large reception area with a formal, wood spiral staircase. There are three levels to this building. Reception area includes desk and comfortable seating. It really is very spacious, as are the massage rooms, and gives you the impression it is a very expensive and exclusive spa. Compared to other shops I have seen it is quite impressive. The rooms are large and include private bath with shower in each room. Tables are very large and wide with built in face cradle. My only complaint would be the padding on the table is rather thin and can become uncomfortable after awhile, especially when laying on your stomach. The tables are also very well made and sturdy. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and had not read anything about these shops on the forum, so from overall first impressions I was thinking it would be strictly therapeutic and legitimate. The therapist walked me up one floor to the room at the very end. He was just as cute and sexy as the photos online. I counted five rooms in addition to mine on this floor. I was invited to disrobe and shower and he would return in a few minutes…the usual routine. I had selected a 2 hour aromatic just as I did at Prestige. Just my preference, guys. lol. Cost was 1390 Baht. I was told in advance via LINE that tip would be 1500 Baht for my therapist. I was also told he was Gay T/B. It does vary by therapist. Finished my shower and laid on the table. Therapist returned with tray of supplies. Ambience in the room is actually quite nice with calming music and soft lighting. When I first laid down I had pulled the towel across myself since I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this shop. At first he did dry presses over the towel and would move it around as necessary. He was actually on the table as he was working on my legs and back. I would guess maybe about 5 minutes of this and then the towel slowly went away. As he was still doing dry presses but straddling my legs I immediately recognized skin against skin. He was naked, so there was no longer any question or doubt about where this was going to end. Needless to say my fantasy played out in real time and certainly lived up to all of my expectations and then some. Even if I wanted to walk back to Ibis Silom, I don’t think I could have! I would definitely recommend this shop, and my therapist as well, but it is more on the pricey side compared to others. No idea what the other two locations look like. I would definitely be a repeat customer. FYI: Prestige accepts credit card with no service charge. Men Care is strictly cash.

No , absolutely you were not cheapskate. While those days quite a few boys may ask 4000 or 5000 for overnight, certainly that should not be a case when boy is staying with you for several days for two reasons : a/ you are fully entitled to substantial volume discount as boy secures income for that same period b/if boy stay with you , not only you will pay off fee but for his meals and entertainment. You both go to the bar - you pay yours and his drink so 500 becomes 1000 etc. while 2500 / day may be on lower side is still very reasonable and I'd say 3000 is absolute maximum. fact that you paid him 5000 to avoid scene is OK but after that you made two serious mistakes - buying his meal and paying for his barber. Nothing wrong with that in general but not after you have feeling you already overpaid him for your overnight session. Good to hear you regained your sense and refused taxi money, I would be using plain language " I already gave you enough ( or plenty ) " - this is what I say when they ask for taxi money. That part of your report "He then wants to rest back my hotel because he was tired and upon arriving to my room, he flops on the couch fully dressed facing away from me and starts to watch tik tok videos on his phone and then falls asleep." should be warning signal for you. If you , God Almighty forbids , go with your plan , expect more of that day after day to a point that you will wonder who really is in charge of your space and time. It's different story to take boy for a trip when both of you are travelling which is different dynamics than host and overstaying welcome guest Do you really want to play host to somebody who treats you that way and gets paid for that ? four advices from me since you asked although I have my doubts you had me in mind when you said 'learned forum members" : A/ if sex is great engage him for overnights or short times as often as you wish, pay him and send him home after each session but forget about having him as permanent resident as fast it will become taking toll on you and your vacation time due to need to entertain him and bar with his antics B/ invite him ( or any other boy you meet) for a meal and pay for his taxi but ONLY if you feel like , not because he asks. Otherwise taxi money of 100 today will become 300 by next Wednesday etc. C/ do not be concerned about him losing face with his friends. You are on vacations , not on boys therapeutic session. It's for him to navigate that with his friends D/ you may want to read my last trip report as I put myself in the same situation for a week month ago. Difference was that my boy was well rehearsed before and did not put any direct financial requests. Still it was tiring to have somebody in the room constantly or asking him to leave when I wanted to have some time for myself (and perhaps other guest) . And of course all those expenses added up

The day started the best way any Bangkok day can start: with Nine. Yes, that Nine. Those of you who've followed my trip reports for a while will know exactly who I mean—my long-standing, tried-and-true favourite. Even back in the days when I wasn’t fully sold on Banana Bar, I still showed up for him. Because Nine? He’s worth it. And of course, he delivered. As always. Same great vibe, same easy charm, same experience that leaves you wondering how he can be effortlessly Delightful.” At this point, we’ve built up a familiarity that just makes everything click. No awkward warm-ups or polite small talk—it’s like catching up with an old friend, if that friend also happens to be very good at massages and even better at everything that comes after. After our usual post-fun breakfast, Nine gave his customary gentle nudge—reminding me I can always text him if I want to meet outside the bar. Just include the off fee if it’s during work hours, and he’s there. I made a mental note. Having a reliable option like Nine on standby? A luxury worth treasuring—especially for those times when you need to recover from a less-than-great massage session or bar off. Feeling recharged and smugly content, I decided to get a jump on my shopping list before the impending Songkran madness turned my plan into a splash zone. Off to Platinum Mall I went, armed with a list, a vague sense of direction, and a wildly optimistic belief that my feet would hold out. Several hours and several bags later, my legs were sending out distress signals. I surrendered, paused for a quick food court lunch, and added in a foot massage for good measure. It helped. Sort of. But my inner hedonist wasn’t quite satisfied. Enter: Prince Spa. But first, coffee. Suan Phlu’s midday heat had me on the verge of dozing off on the sidewalk. That’s when I stumbled across a little gem—Nola Café. Cute, cool, and most importantly: they serve fresh beignets. Now, I don’t know about you, but finding hot, fluffy beignets in Bangkok is like finding a unicorn at the mall. For 245 baht, I was treated to six pillowy beignets, each dusted with just the right amount of powdered sugar, paired with a strong Americano that was basically rocket fuel for the soul. It was the kind of sweet, delicious moment that made me forget about the heat and get a little too comfortable in my food coma. Buzzed and sugar-fueled, I made my way to Prince Spa. You know the ritual—take a seat, sip your drink, stop yourself from choking from your drink and attempt the impossible: picking just one guy from a sea of gorgeous. It’s like being on the judging panel of Thailand’s Next Top Something. Then I spotted him—stocky, toned, with a broad build that reminded me of the Saboten Escorts in Tokyo. I pointed him out, and a moment later, he was striding toward me. “Hi, I’m Maxie,” he said, flashing a smile that could charge your phone. Maxie was, in a word, EXTRA. He’s just full of positivity and cheer, and his vibe? Think overly affectionate golden retriever meets flirty cartoon sidekick. He practically bounced into the shower with me, where he proceeded to turn a simple rinse into an aquatic comedy sketch—splashing, laughing, cheeky little nudges. Then came the massage. And look, “massage” might be generous. It was less “targeted muscle relief” and more “theatre of affection.” Every few minutes, Maxie would pause to nibble, cuddle, tickle, or whisper, “Are you happy?” with the earnestness of someone handing you a newborn puppy. His hands wandered as often as his thoughts, and the whole thing felt like I’d accidentally booked a spa day with an excitable boyfriend. To his credit, he did dial it up during the extras—suddenly shifting gears into something more sensual. But just as quickly, he bounced back to full Maxie-mode: affectionate, giggly, and absolutely incapable of sitting still. It was chaotic. It was oddly wholesome. And honestly? I kind of low key loved it. He’s not someone I’d book when I’m in the mood for quiet, slow-burning intensity. But for a day when you want a bit of light-hearted fun and nonstop serotonin? Maxie’s your guy. He made me laugh, feel doted on, and left me in that weirdly specific post-session state of both relaxed and slightly confused. Back at the hotel, I crashed for a nap—still smiling, slightly ticklish, and with powdered sugar memories lingering in my mind. Next stop: Atlas Bar.

About week after I retuned from Aug 2024 trip I spotted extremely good airfare to Bangkok for mid January and decided to buy it even if I had my doubts I will be able to utilize it for many of reasons. Main one being my Mother’s mantra I already mentioned few times before “if you don’t have money for vacation , don’t go” . One thing she did not know was line of credit though. Even brief , weeklong November foray , which turned very pleasant did not convince me to break that unspoken rule. I gave myself till New Year Eve to make decision. And of course, what else , I decided to utilize that ticket. So new Year Day I spent on my computer booking hotels and airfares. Then disaster struck – I learned that my friend is landing in Bangkok at the same time. He may be friend but not kind of one I would like to accompany me in my Silom affairs for simple reason – he is babbler known for saying first and thinking distant second. As travel companion he is also bit imperial and selfish when comes to programs. In short , better to be met in social setting , not on the road. Since not much I could do I left it to be solved when in Swampy. Ticket was cheap but there was price for it – very early departure at 6 am, three legs so involving two connections on the way and late arrival I Bangkok, just before midnight. It worked, all three fights arrived 30-60 minutes before scheduled time and only complain I have was that cabin in United flight to Narita was cold. I had sweater but could use winter jacket which was tucked in check-in luggage as I did not expect I will need it until I return home. Of course while standing in long but fast moving immigration line I was spotted by my friend so my cover was blown right there. My luggage was already waiting for me , his came quite fast and we shared taxi to our hotels , first his in Sukhumvit and than mine in soi 3. I was in my room just before 1 am and decided to take shower and do survey of the area. As it was past bar closing time I spotted few known faces dining here and there , with friends or alone. On Suriwong there was guy I offed last trip who immediately offered his companionship but I declined and it was his fault. He cut our session short under some pretext which in my book is criminal and results in blacklisting. Hot Male beer bar still had few customers and P was free so I offered him a drink which led to his suggestion that since bar is closing soon he may walk me to my hotels. He is not a person I would reject such an offer so I agreed immediately shyly suggesting we may even have coffee together in the room. Not sure I used word ‘ coffee ‘ but whatever it was he got it and added ‘ till morning ‘. Now we are talking ! Soon I paid 600 off fee and world saw us walking briskly to soi 3. We met before few times but this session was by mile the best. I like straight boys who are clingy and not faking it. He left me at 7.30 declining breakfast invitation , no doubt wanted to catch some sleep. Day 1 For breakfast I went to Foodland, where else ? in meantime message Raposa I’m heading there and soon after he joined me for a meal and news exchange. After we parted ways I went to XOne to exchange money and around noonish I went to meet me friend thinking about excuses to create free evening. It was easier than I thought. After taking boat along Saen Sap canal and doing some sightseeing in Khao San area we returned by the boat to Saphan Taksin , had a meal in the area and decided to part ways even if it was still daylight for simple reason – jet lag decided to intervene. In hotel I collapsed on the bed but not before I set my alarm clock for 9.pm. I’m not one to waste vacation time. As for first bar visit this trip there was no doubt where I will go , Atlas of course . I was greeted enthusiastically by barker outside who remembered I helped him when he had period of sleeping in the rough and by cabal of boys knowing me from Tawan and even Arena. Can’t say I was very impressed with selection but certain I’d pick up one of 4-5 guys there. There were few twinks I’d consider too. Face of one waiter was familiar and it turned out few years ago he was one of stars at Jupiter I had hots for but of course those days he did not even look my way. He lost some muscles but face is still handsome. Perhaps I should give him consideration in future for old times sake. 8 red notes distributed, to that guy, one of singers , James and Ken sitting with me , J/O contestant, f***k show performers and two big c***k showmen. I liked the show as it included full set of numbers. Just before midnight I crossed the soi to climb stairs to Hot Male where S was waiting for me forewarned about my intentions earlier. Show was on and I entered exactly at big c**k show moment so another 200 went for the needy but well endowed. We went to Foodland for a meal and then home .S never disappoints and never rushes to go home, so it looks this trip so far I’m doing well.

Hello fellow connoisseurs of sexy guys. I've had the pleasure of posting and getting feedback while on the first part of my trip in Bangkok. Now that I've made it to Tokyo it makes sense to share my experiences here. Since I'm starting this thread anew I hope you'll indulge a bit of content about my points/miles redemptions. Now let's get to brass tax. I arrived at Tokyo Narita airport at around 6am and my hotel check in at the Hyatt Regency was not until 2pm so I decided to be leisurely and methodical in my movements as not to rush or make mistakes in this place that is new to me. Ate some sashimi at the airport for breakfast and made my way to the train station on the lower level of the airport. Used the 7/11 branded ATM and took out 10k yen in 1k notes. The Tokyo public transit system has a reputation in my mind of being efficient yet potentially complex for newbies. So I went to the ticket counter and was sold two tickets that got me a train to Nippori station and then on a subway ride to Shinjuku. Made it there with no errors. I arrived at the hotel at noon and was told that my room would not be ready until 2pm but that I could upgrade to a similar room with a Mt.Fuji view for only $47 more and that would allow me immediate check in. I took the offer seeing as the hotel was already free for the night because I used my annual Hyatt category 1-4 free night cert. The card has a $100 annual fee so this hotel is worth way more than that. It's soon to become a category 5 hotel so will no longer be in range of my free night cert once the hotel renovations are complete. Alright I'll stop with the points stuff for now. My original plan was to go to King of College and get a better understanding of how their system works. I walked to it from my hotel about 30 minutes away. Once I'd got to the right location I still hadn't got a response from KOC account on the Line app. I sent them a message but there was also an error I was getting when trying to add them on Line. I'll have my Line issues fixed by the next time I come to Asia for sure. The way I think King of College works is that you walk in and if it's your first time then a bartender should tell you how the system works. I think this might cost you 1700 yen. I'm interested if this is kind of like a host bar concept where if you really like one of the guys you can pay to take it further. It seems like you'd be buying them drinks and such also while they entertain you. I'll save this for later because I ended up walking about 7 minutes further to Danshi Gakuen. I could not add them on the Line app so I used their English language website's 'contact us' function. I asked if they were open for walk-ins and that I was outside. They said yes and to press the intercom when you get to the third floor. I preferenced DG over KoC because of the ultra quick response time. I'd say less than 5 minutes passed before getting a response when I messaged them. The response was sent to my email. I went up and talked to the manager and he brought me inside. We heavily relied on Google Translate. He said there were three guys on property and that I could look through an album. I assume this meant that they could try to get a boy from elsewhere to rush over if they were available. I was able to narrow down who was available on their website using the narrowing functions of 1)Workday(who was available today) 2)Age(from youngest descending to oldest) 3) Straight. So going in I had my eye on a couple of guys and it just so happened that one of my picks was already here. The manager had him walk in and smile at me so I could confirm he was accurately portrayed in the pictures. I agreed and said that I would like to book him for 12 hours for 34k yen(about $230) The manager asked if I was looking for anything anal related and I said no which was good because they guy I selected is straight and not up for that. I said I would like kissing and 'boyfriend experience' and he knew exactly what I meant. Once the manager confirmed with the boy I paid in cash at 7pm and they said the 12 hours begins at 9pm and ends at 9am and comes with a room in the building and use of a shower/toilet. I rushed back to my hotel and packed some essentials and rushed back and made it there with 15 minutes to spare as the frozen rain was hitting me. I went up the stairs and my boy was there to greet me. I changed my shoes for slippers at the entrance. He took me to the room and the night began. We got acquainted and he was so wonderful to me. His English was better than my Japanese and he seemed to delight in communicating with me. We soon stripped off and he used the phone in the room to request the use of the shower. I think they do this system as to protect the privacy of the clients because some people do not want to be seen here by others. Also obviously to make sure the shower is not currently being used. After a shower and teeth brushing we hopped into bed. It was freezing outside so cuddling with him was just what this Florida guy needed. We fooled around for maybe 80 minutes. Once we both got off we started talking about getting a meal somewhere since the night was young. This was exactly what I was hoping for. I love getting a local guide to take me around and show me what they enjoy. He ended up taking me to his favorite local ramen spot. He loved telling me about the differences in the tenderness of the noodles and such. I ended up eating a bowl and one portion of extra noodles and he actually had two extra noodle portions. Such a sexy 121 lb guy. He does Aikido and soccer so his body was delightful. A nice touch was that he paid the 100 yen for my extra noodles even though it's stipulated that I must pay all expenses. We talked earlier and he surmised that we had a mutual enjoyment of bowling so we went bowling for two games. I won't divulge our scores because they were lackluster. We were competitive the first game and I crushed him the second. When it was over I insisted on paying but he pulled out two cards and handed it to the cashier. Not sure if they were free certificates but it was a kind gesture of him to do that even though I was supposed to cover all expenses. We then had another enjoyable walk through Kabukicho and Golden Gai passed all the tourists, intoxicated people, and scammers. I loved his commentary and questions. The whole way he held an umbrella over us which I found so sweet of him. We got back to the room at about 1am where we shared another shower and jumped back in bed. I could tell he was ready for sleep so I would not be persistent in nagging him to get sexual if I sensed he wasn't into it. We cuddled and kissed some more and eventually fell asleep. I told him I'll try not to wake him up or touch him overnight and he said he didn't mind. So I was able to caress him and kiss him at various points throughout the night. At about 8:30am his alarms started to go off every 5 minutes which I found comical. By 9am I was dressed and saying goodbye to him at the door. We hugged and I left. I thoroughly enjoyed that experience. I imagine many of you might be more into the sex parts versus my preference for a boyfriend experience and local guide and cuddle partner. That's okay we all have preferences. Now the question is, should I check out of my hotel and book another night with the same guy at DG before someone else does? This option also saves me money that I would have to spend on a hotel for the night so if you factor that into the price of 12 hours for the boy/room it's phenomenal in my mind. I did say that I would go to King of College to scope it out for Vinapu so I need to figure out a plan for that. King of College has an Instagram account and the last two nights around 8:30pm they posted a story that says who is available at the bar. One guy looks tempting but his face is blurred so that's a potential red flag for me. I guess I can always just walk away and pay only 1700 yen. The price at DG for 90 minutes was something like 15k yen so I just ran the numbers in my mind and 34k yen for 12 hours just seemed the most bang for the buck. Well, that's all for now I need to see some cultural sights before choosing my next boy wherever that may be. I don't have hotels yet for my last few nights in Japan so I could stay in Tokyo longer or jump to Osaka anytime.

I spent a week in PP catching up with a Canadian friend and we visited a lot of the specified places together. I have tried to be as factual as possible and I’d like to thank FloridaRob, vinapu and Harrystiilees for the info they gave me before my trip. A few general observations: Since my last visit 10 years ago, the traffic seems to have increased dramatically and certainly the car is king here. Be very careful crossing roads as some traffic do not adhere to traffic lights and pavements in many parts of the city are non existent. I felt safe wandering around the city but do ensure that you have enough lower denomination dollar notes as higher denominations can be difficult to spend. Tuk tuks plentiful and $2-3 dollars seemed to be the standard fare. Bars I visited Space Bar which was next to my hotel (Sun and Moon) twice. I met the owners, one of whom is from Spain and their adorable dogs that are friendly and in the bar. The waiters/hosts are incredibly fit and hot and tend to be more muscular and they will sit with you if you buy them a drink. Some guys spoke reasonable English and got very playful as the evening progressed. Some guys took their shirts off after midnight and were quite touchy feely. Very flirtatious but it ended there. The drinks were of a very good quality and it was. Fun place to visit with an interesting mix of local boys and visiting tourists and expat locals. I visited again and the same host guys I talked to on the first visit tended to monopolise my table despite the fact I was interested in talking to some of the other guys. It is the luck of the draw if you choose guys to sit with you who can’t really communicate except by translation apps. Around 12 host guys there when I visited. I would certainly recommend this friendly and laid back bar as a fun start or end to your evening. Fantastic eye candy. We spent a great evening at Toolbox bar. Doug the owner is a lovely, approachable guy and was happy to chat and give advice about PP. We went around 9pm on a Fri and there are about 20 host guys and 6 customers but the bar got busier with visitors from 10pm onwards. It was a great atmosphere especially as the boys did a number of interesting dance routines on the pool table! Very much a party atmosphere and the music was varied and fun. The boys are certainly of the twink variety and they were friendly, good looking and tactile. Drinks of a great quality and the bar also serves a selection of hot food. This was the bar that we enjoyed ourselves the most in PP and we stayed around 4 hours. Well worth a visit if only to see the beautiful boys there. We visited Blue Chili which seemed to be a large venue but didn’t stay as we were the only customers there. When passing again on a Friday evening, the place seemed completely packed and people were queuing to get in. It seemed to have a mixed crowd and we were told the busiest nights are Friday and Saturday. Massage I had some variable experiences during my time in PP. I visited Paradise Massage which is above the POC bar. Only one guy available to give massage and he was a young twinky type. Massage ($15 for an hour oil massage) was quite poor with little technique and expertise. I ended the massage early as it was not enjoyable. The premises look quite run down and general cleanliness was an issue. I would not recommend this place. I visited Hatha Khmer twice and I was delighted by the massages there. There were around 15 guys to choose from when I visited and you choose your guy from behind a window where they assemble, a bit like arena in BKK. A good range of guys that would satisfy most tastes. The first massage was an hour’s oil massage ($10) and the guy certainly was experienced and knew what he was doing. An excellent, firm massage and the $30 dollar tip was well deserved for the many extras he provided. The second massage was an hour and a half oil massage for $15 and the different masseur was good but not as firm or experienced as the first guy and this showed in his massage technique. The invariable fun that followed was prolonged and unrushed and a $30 tip was well earned. He even offered to bring another masseur into the massage room for fun if I wanted that. I was very happy with the venue which was clean and well decorated, the choice of hot guys as well as the quality of the massage and the extras. Well recommended. Saunas I visited 2 saunas during my stay. Love Spa is just around the corner from Hatha Khmer massage. It was $3 entry and it was quite busy at 5pm mid week. As far as I could gather I was the only Western guy there and the guys were primarily Cambodian. When changing, it was a bit disconcerting to have around 5 massage guys watching me and asking constantly if I needed a massage. Certainly the most aggressive approach I came across in Cambodia. The thing about this spa is that the spa areas and corridors are completely dark and it is like walking in a darkroom. For me, this was quite dangerous as I tripped over as I couldn’t see where I was going. I decided to leave as for me, it was an accident waiting to happen. My friend was staying at Arthur and Paul hotel. I visited on a Saturday night to go to the spa and it started to get busy after 9pm. $10 entry fee. The bar area is spacious and lovely and the pool area is a good place to relax, swim and talk to other guys. There seemed to be a lot of younger Cambodian guys in attendance. Again, the issue for me was the lack of light and the spa area and showers were too dark for me to walk around safely. Guys are friendly around the bar, pool area and changing room and this is a great place to link up with cute Cambodian guys. My friend, who was staying at the hotel enquired about the darkness level and one of the Cambodian guys stated that Cambodian guys are quite shy and don’t want to be seen having sex in a spa! As an addendum, my friend loved staying at A and P and raved about the breakfast, staff and massages which he deemed to be excellent ($20 for an hour plus tip). The staff here are good looking guys who will look after you if you decide to stay at the hotel. Apps I got lots of messages from guys on the usual apps (Grindr, Hornet and Heesay) but did not manage to hook up with anyone due to time constraints. I hope you find this info useful. I’m back to Thailand now for a Christmas and a break! Happy Christmas!

Day 2 In the morning breakfast in Foodland together, greeted by knowing smiles of staff there but those were nice , not contemptuous knowing smiles. In the early afternoon jet lag made me collapsing on the bed for few hours and when I woke up I decided to check GLAM, new shiny and upscale massage place near Suthisan MRT station. Bkkmfj visited that place and started thread about it in August . Guy on reception recognized me from my visits to Jey Spa where he worked and told me those two are closely related , sharing most boys because one of co-owners co-owns Jey as well. He lead me upstairs where they have glass behind which there were only two boys One of them Mek would be my choice but was waiting for his appointment already and another guy, likely seeing unsightly, grey haired troll i.e. me claimed is not feeling well. Mamasan helpfully suggested he nearby has on call guy named Maii which was perfect solution as I already met him few times at Jey. I was ushered to room , very sizable with equally sizable shower so fee of 1290 for 90 mins reflects quality of the place. Waiting for Maii I took shower and soon we had surprised reunion. I was happy to notice that guy’s smile was rather not fake. Another case of known quality so I left happy , upping his minimum tip by 400. Dinner at G’Bangkok , then meeting with Keithambrose in his hotel and we went to new bar Dragon and Koi across from Foodland. Keith made already relation from our time there in bar’s thread. We were surprised that there boys started dancing on the bar bare chested. Since we both liked the same guy we invited him for a drink later on but there was not much of conversation since his English was of Google Translate variety. We did not stay long there as Keith was to leave next morning. On top of Patpong two we parted ways with me going to my most favorite bar – Moonlight. Cabal of barkers outside greeted me enthusiastically and so did few mamasans not to mention several smiles from boys on the stage. Some veterans of previous offs , others remembering me from previous visits , they were few who should recognize me but pretended not to. Fine with me. My favorite Y was there and I wasted no time to call him over for drink. Soon we settled on short time as he is not doing long times ever since he got a girl. Few trips ago A, muscular semi god from there noticed that I look at Y admirably suggested I off both of them. Tonight story repeated as this time Y recalled I told him last time I like a lot his compatriot #10 as asked me why I don’t take them both. Music to my ears. Dinner at Happy Beer garden , Joy there repeated her mantra that we are the same ‘ you like boys and I like boys” and then stroll to the hotel. As much as it was enjoyable there were some awkwardness tonight as they are close friends and even if none of them was shy I sensed that they are not hat comfortable so I threaded carefully and it worked. It can be said I did not enjoy them together but enjoyed to a greatest degree each of them separately. Fact that Y is very familiar around me cured other guy initial apprehensiveness. Another great night. At 2 they left and I slept exhausted and jet lagged till 11.20 am of day 3 without any interruption.

@khaolakguy You're very welcome. Yeah it is weird that they don't have it. They just had a small foam pillow. The massage, masseur, and location were great otherwise. @floridarob That's definitely advice I should take. At Wabi Sabi he had primed me for over an hour before offering the extras and I was pretty worked up by then. Great tactic. @jason1975Thanks! After the massage at Wabi Sabi I walked over to MBK Center which is known as the largest counterfeit mall in Bangkok. I didn't buy anything but might go back tomorrow. I went to G's Bangkok and it was enjoyable. I only ordered German dishes and they were tasty. Also a beer. Afterwards went back to my hotel for a one hour power nap. Ended up getting to Freshboys around 9:30pm. Upon being seated I immediately exchanged a 1000 baht note for ten 100's. To my pleasant surprise, the boy I offed in March was up on stage again. I decided he'd probably forgotten about me so I should make an effort to assess all the boys and not favor him just because we had prior interactions. Alas, I succumbed to the urge to pick him. There were more than a few that I could have been happy with but his look and tattoos just do it for me. The mamasan called his number and he came over and a drink was ordered for him. Once I explained that we had interacted in March he kind of lit up. I mentioned that I remembered that he's Lao. He let me know he would like to leave after the show. I wanted to get agreement before I agreed to off him for the night. He agreed to kissing and showering together. The show was enjoyable. One sexy hot dancer and two guys with their cocks out. There was another crew of dancers and I loved watching the more submissive seeming one. I recognized him from last time as well and I really thought he gave a great performance. I decided not to off two boys and instead just did one. I had a 100 baht note in hand and when my guy was getting dressed I saw my opportunity to stand up and give the cute dancer a 100 baht note. Also gave 100 to the waiter and mamasan. We went back to the hotel and took a shower and hopped into bed. This experience was almost night and day compared to my my first time with him. He seemed so much friendlier and less mechanical. He washed me and let me wash him. He actively kissed me including tongue which was wonderful. The sexual stuff was fun. After we finished we both showered again. We chatted via translation apps and I gave him a bit extra. 3000 instead of 2500. He gave me his Line account so I added him. I'm wary of how this may go. I am not going to be sending money or thinking he's romantically interested. While I was at Freshboys there was a gentleman sitting next to me because it was rather packed in there. When he noticed that I had offed my boy the other gentleman asked me how much it costs. I had to switch my translation app to Chinese. I explained it to him in terms of how pricing works here. He was grateful. I ordered some Foodland bites to my hotel via Grab. I'd type more but I'm fading fast. I'll post tomorrow

4th trip this year. Yes, I can hear the groans and silent cursing of many forum members. 6 days 5 nights. Thursday to Tuesday. Extended weekend. I decided to take a trip because favourite forum members happened to be in Bangkok at same time. Purposely kept trip a surprise from my regular guy at Freshboys. I concocted an elaborate plan go surprise him because I wanted to see his reaction. The plan was other forum members go into Freshboys first. I will wait downstairs. They will get him to sit with them. They will then blindfold him. After getting signal from them, I will go inside, sit close to him, hold his hands, say his name and see his surprised face when he takes off the blindfold. Then we will hug and kiss. And everyone around us will be happy for us. Well, that was the plan. Who knew that at relatively early time in the night (10pm), my guy would be seated and drinking with a guy with bottle of whisky!!!!!!

I'm new to this so please bear with me. I'm also typing on my phone (which I'm not used to when making reviews) so there might be some grammatical errors. Thank you for understanding. I already planned to visit Jey Spa and History of Massages before arriving, but Klover was unexpectedly added to my list. I also wanted to try S'Sense but I skipped it because the masseur I chose was either fully booked or was having his day off. Jey Spa It was already late in the evening when I messaged their Line, and I asked who were available. It was hard to choose as I wanted to try most of them. It took me a while to choose and finally decided to try Alex. I booked a 90-minute massage. I arrived Jey Spa and saw Blue and Vee outside. I feel like I regretted my decision because they were both hot in person! Way better than the photos! They were already leaving the place. I then headed inside and saw Alex. Okay, I didn't regret it! He's cute! After paying, Alex led me to the room and I showered. He was already on his underwear and told me to lie down. The bed was quite stiff but his palms were really soft, so I didn't mind the little discomfort. The first half of the massage was great with a few teases. He started massaging my legs and would swipe his hands between my butt cheeks which made me hard. For the other half, Alex surprised me with his big tool. It was huge, it was thick! He is also good with his tongue, especially when he licked my ears and neck. We did various positions, kissed passionately, and he really liked it rough. There was also a mirror in the room which made the moment steamier. We were both sweating and I told him I wanted to release already so he ate my nipples like a wild animal. I won't go into detail what else happened but I was really satisfied. We showered together afterwards and I gave him the tip. To be continued...

Last year was my first visit to thailand and I had a kit of fun so this year I decided to come a bit longer and do pattaya and bangkok. This report only focuses on pattaya. I was a bit unsure if I wanted to take a taxi so I decided to hire a driver from nams lady drivers. Which was the right decision. They were waiting for me when I arrived and had a comfortable car waiting for me. Drive was pleasant. I would highly recommend. I also booked them for my transfer to bangkok, which was another great experience, I booked the agate. I had a crystal pool room I believe, on the back side of the resort. Night time was very quiet no noise from the bars was heard. Staff were friendly. No issues with guests, able to come right up with me. first day I stopped at soda massage. I picked a boy who was sitting down and off we went. Soda massage has a shared shower room, cabins are smaller but adequate with dim lights. You can however hear everything in the cabin as next to you, as I heard a guy negotiating a price with the boy he had. I didn’t negotiate any extras in the beginning. Massage was mostly light strokes after flipping boy gave me price however I’m sure he knew what price was negotiated next door cause he didn’t try to quote higher. I accepted. Surprisingly he was verse and we had a fun time showered in the room with another guy showering aswell. Back to my hotel for a quick nap to recover from my long flight. After I woke up I messaged a Thai guy on Grindr and had he come over for some fun. I then headed over to the best bar for the show, this is a cabaret show, mostly drag queens lip syncing. This is my one gripe in these bars. The queens lip sync based on the sounds from the music, they do not know the English lyrics. I feel it would be much better if they lip synced to Thai songs. I highly doubt it bothers anyone else but it’s a little thing I notice, show was ok, I wasn’t really impressed. next day I did some sight seeing and did some exploring, walked around the area I was staying, visited the gay beach and just get a general feel for the area. I booked the Tiffany Cabernet show for the evening. This show I truly enjoyed. The musical numbers were great. The outfits amazing, and the giant led screens that cover the entire back of the stage really immerse you into the performances. Was mostly a Chinese audience and everyone really enjoyed the show. I did end up taking pictures with a lot of the cast after its 100 baht per performer. The lip syncing was great here. In the evening I went to m2m bar for the cabaret show, this show is really well choreographed. The lead boy is really good looking, I have seen him in videos and got lucky as he had just returned to the show after a 3 month trip in France. I got there just before the show was about to start and it was empty, however after 5-10 minutes the bar filled out with people arriving for the show. after the show I went on Grindr and a boy messaged me who turns out was a Massage boy from a massage shop two doors down from agate. I decided to do massage at shop with him. We had a great time massage+ was 1200 all in. I had a great time however he kept pushing to massage in my room next time, still not sure why. Next I went to Koh larn, I booked a tour which included speedboat transfer, sea walking, snorkelling, couple hours on the beach and lunch. All in was 1600 which I felt was quite fair, I’m sure if you looked around you could get cheaper. The sea walking was really fun and is something I would likely do again. after I got back I was tired and basically just slept the massage boy from the previous day messaged me again saying he wanted to see me again, I had a great time so I decided to:meet up:with him again for another good time. will continue in a bit, just have to move laundry to dryer.

Single M20+, this is my first time in Bangkok and I'm still closet status. Due to reasons, timelines will be blurred. Disclaimer: Bangkok is still a family friendly locations, you will only see the Rated items in special locations. Due to my closet status, I did not visit any bars/sauna's. However I did visit 2 massage parlour with 'that' intention, plus an extra. Phetboy Spa The first massage location I went to is Phetboy Spa. This place is good as they are open 24 hours. From my short enquiry on their line, you do have to book an appointment if you want to select a specific masseur. Due to time constrain I initially though this would be the only location I am able to visit as afternoon to night time is touristing time. When I arrive at the location, there was 2-3 masseur sleeping inside with no customers due to early wee hours. I also came 35 mins earlier than my supposed appointment so I had to wait a while. The reception was great and they showed me the menu on massage available and I picked aroma massage (not that it mattered since the first thing the masseur did was slap oil onto my back). After waiting inside the room for a while, the masseur came in and told me to undress. Simple and clear instructions and then lay face down on the mattress. The masseur did some basic up down massage starting from the leg and upwards and that's the end of the massage. He removed his underwear and pulled me towards his boner. But after a while he went soft and the session ends by me asking him to watch some porn on his phone. After some miscommunication, he self-pumped for less than 5 mins and released. I did enjoy his release but was kinda sad it ended so fast. He pointed to mine but after some tugging left with only his release. The guy was good looking, young and my type but my fault too as I could not speak Thai. Overall I tipped him the slightly above the mentioned brochure price but he was the lowest among the 3 massage parlours. The Prince Spa The second massage location. I did not book an appointment as it was more of an impromptu situation and the rain had ruined my tourist plans. It was raining but as soon as I pass gate, the grey prince logo, the reception was fantastic as they greeted me at the door and invited inside. Upon entering the door the various masseur line up for selection giving suggestive looks. I initially saw my pick from the online website but he seems occupied with his phone and I picked someone else. I ended up picking someone that was tugging away their equipment and showing a suggestive look. A quick payment to the reception and they had me guided by my selection towards the room. Took a shower and wrapped in bathrobe. This being my second rodeo, I was a little bit more suggestive on my intentions. The best part was that my masseur could speak English. Though we only had a little bit of conversation it did play a part in sharing my intention and positions. Regarding the massage itself, I was in shock that the masseur was good at massage, he gave a full massage from bottom to top and even did my neck area. It was a long wanted massage area. Though slower than at Phetboy Spa, the situation quickly escalated. There was already something poking me from behind and after he wore the protection, all went loose. The good of this location is that the masseur went hard and fast, though the session ended as fast. I asked the masseur if he could do mouth to mouth but he declined. I was slowly leaning towards a non-release but the masseur suddenly went to give short kisses on the neck and upwards and gave mouth to mouth. Though it was a simple underlip mouth to mouth it did encourage me. With the first mouth to mouth I went in for a second mouth to mouth. On the third mouth to mouth, it was an extremely long mouth to mouth as I attacked and went inside his mouth, a slimy attack later I collapse exhausted. The entire experience is as described by other reviews of this location, the masseur will join you in the shower. I gave the tip to the masseur and that's the end. Note: the tip paid was not the lowest of the 3 locations. Extra: Prestige Massage After a long tiring day, I wanted a good massage and went for the well known location to get a great massage. This place is truly the best for my tired body. The masseur attacked all my knotted locations and I feel refreshed. This location is a location to go to as their masseur is well trained. I truly like this place and really like their reputation. I won't bore you with what went on inside since I prefer their current reputation. To understand what I mean please review https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/massage-shops/ Final Review As a forever single, I find it a bit shocking on the sizes provided and the durability of the equipment. I like to take my time and edge a little but being forced to end with a deadline did discourage me. To talk more on the sizes, I though I was a small but turns out I was bigger than the average and it showed that none of the masseur was bigger than mine. The toys/tools I played with is bigger than mine and comparing to the equipment did make me wonder if the equipment was good enough. Well the only masseur that did enter me made me understand what skills were. I was practically encouraged the whole duration and they know how to entertain you. Might have been better to talk about size with the reception if I wanted a larger equipment but I was too shy to ask. Apologies As a newbie, I am not used to the whole terminology and I tried to censor my words but it might be too much.

Part 3 So at my niece’s insistence we left Phnom Penh before schedule and I must say our assessment of Cambodia was/is very different. While I like country a lot and it’s one of my favorites she doesn’t share my enthusiasm at all. That way we found two issues our opinions vary fundamentally – Cambodia and Italian food. She gladly accepted my suggestion to go to Pattaya straight from airport and we had a luck of Jomtien bus departing in few minutes with still few seats left so it was seamless transfer to Jomtien bus station. As I mentioned we settled for Zing hotel (not Zing Resort in Jomtien Complex) half way between Jomtien and Pattaya an secured rooms in different wings for added security and discretion. Rest of day we spent in Pattaya walking along Beach road , visiting Wat Chai and even braving to Walking Street in early evening before supper together and retiring to hotel. In meantime I contacted certain guy from Dreamboys I saw few times before and I’m very fond of both him and certain part of his body. He confirmed he is in Pattaya and is willing to visit me in my room to see recent stamp acquisitions. He asked me to pick him up from bar to which I answered ‘yes, but it may not happen before midnight” , “I wait you “ was the answer. I was actually able to get there past 10.30 , paid off fee and we both went to XBoys for their show at his insistence. As usual very progressive with special show and plenty cock on display but since it was almost the same we watched in Jun he suggested we move to hotel after about 40 minutes inside. In order to maintain security we went there by two separate motorsais and entered lobby like two guest who happen to be at the door at the same time. Few hours of fun and he left but not before I secured his arrival for next two nights, idea he seemed to like as well. It’s low season after all and when I picked him up from bar there were only 4 other customers and three times as much boys on the stage. Next day , Friday , was liberation day as at noon niece’s local friends picked her up for promised weekend at Sattahip which created two days gap when I could feel free man again. While day times I wasted being busy doing nothing , only interruption was massage in Burirom Spa by Dick’s Café with guy I spied while feasting on chicken with cashews at Sophia’s. It was a bit of spectacle as I tried to trigger his attention to no avail but when finally approached him , he was all smiles. Massage was very good indeed, he must have some training but extra’s were quite cursory. No complains from me though as not only massage was great , so was his body clearly showing that when he mentioned daily exercises , he meant it. One evening I sat for an hour in Boyztown to see business there being very slow, another one I went for the show in one of Jomtien Complex bars, nothing exciting but I had their employee sitting with me to keep my hands somewhat busy during spectacle. Unfortunately Max is no longer performing at The Best Bar so no Maxhunt this trip. At night I hosted my Dreamboy guy and we had very good time together. Last years August trip was bit of disaster, this year it was pure and undiluted pleasure. After three nights in Pattaya it was time to return to Bangkok, niece being delivered there by her friends to her super luxurious room at Conrad and I, being poor pensioner settled in Quart Ruam Rudee hotel nearby. We noticed that we can see each other's window, good thing both secured by heavy drapes.

Forum member was already seated at G's when I finished my massage at 8.30pm. He got a great seat outside where we had fantastic view of people walking into soi 4. I saw 2 waiters I knew reporting to work at Circus and Jupiter. I called them over, chatted with them and gave them small tip. A waiter at Banana was so cute that I couldn't resist slipping him a 100 baht tip when we finished dinner and left. Forum member and I were joined by his friend who also came to Bangkok for few days. I met him a few years ago. Both of them are into massage scene. They recommended me many massage shops including a premium one with heated massage bed! After dinner, the 3 of us went off towards Freshboys. Since there were 3 of us and we would be calling down guys from stage and chatting with them, I decided to order a bottle of Chivas. 4000 baht. It was great value for money for a big group to drink. Each of us got a guy for the night. We stayed until midnight and watched the big cock show. 6 guys did big cock show. We tipped them all. Total 33 guys working on that particular Friday night according to mamasan. My regular guy was happy to see me. He knew in advance I would off him for 2 nights. He told me start of low season so many Vietnam guys went back. Freshboys once had more than half of its guys consisting of Vietnamese guys but tonight, there were only 8 guys - #1, #11, #16, #17, #21, #23, #38, #39. That's a quarter. Actually, there was a 9th Vietnamese guy working but he's the DJ! I suspected it because he slipped in some Vietnamese dance music. I asked my guy and he confirmed his nationality. He even introduced me to him and I tipped him. After leaving Freshboys. our group went to Foodland for supper. Overnight shift staff welcomed me back and gave me a "didn't he just come last month?" look. After supper, we went our separate ways back to hotel rooms.

Day 8 Good night sleep proved priceless. At 8.20 I woke up , refreshed and went to Unesco acclaimed Foodland for breakfast and chat with reader, our former poster. I needed shoulder to cry figuratively speaking as while I have fun this trip is not as much as I both expected and hoped for. Upon returning to the room some news from CB, guy who was supposed to carry him over border declined a job , but CB’s his friend in similar situation is flying to Phnom Penh on Friday morning and he asked if I can buy him a ticket for the same flight. As Obama would say ‘ yes I can” , fired up my smartphone and in few minutes we had ticket, slightly under 80$ one way. He was not very happy with such arrangement as he still needs to travel about 5 hrs to his home town but at least that is solution to closed land borders. I was happy because it was cheaper option that one previously tabled. Still it seems it’s hard to get him to be bit more intimate today so seeing that I decided to go for a walk which handily brought me to Arena, what a coincidence I’m telling you ! Art , the mamas an welcomed me heartily , invited to ogle his staff on duty . There were 6 boys-it was early afternoon , all super manly so I picked up one I had massage with last year. I even remembered where he is from but this time famous boys memory did not serve him well and he did not remember me at all and was surprised when I showed him I have him on my Line. Session went well to very well although was bit rushed , we were done in 65 minutes out of 90 mins session but I decided not to create any fuss. I guess I was not in my normal mood as well plus he was shaved “there” which is something I don’t really dream about. Upon returning to the room what I saw ? of course CB on his smartphone. I suggested farang food today and decided to give him a taste of Bangkok public transit so we took bus to Charoen Krung hoping Madrid Tavern or , how it’s called now Madrid Café , will be opened but it was not. On corner of Silom and Charoen Krung we spotted Arab restaurant and CB , clearly hungry suggested we go there. It was well patronized at the moment but they found us a table, he was happier with his meal selection than me but at least I did no leave hungry. They had nice tasting Australian root beer. Then in moment of enlightenment I suggested Asiatique . Hard to believe neither one of us was never there. It was easy to get to as most Charoen Krung buses are going there. Nice setting on the banks of Chao Praya with lots of shops and restaurants and crowded with tourists. I liked Ferris Wheel so we went there, not particularly cheap at 800 baht a ride but it was worth it for a view from above and even better, since we were alone in the cabin we did some ‘ adults only stuff, nothing drastic but it was sneaky fun , stolen kiss here, , misplaced hand there, you get the picture. Best part it looks that gloom finally left CB and from then on things were more like in good old days. Returned home by bus / BTS combination ( there’s direct bus to and from Silom to Asiatique but after 10 mins of waiting I decided to jump on first going toward station ). Around 10 we , at CB suggestion , went to Dreamboys . Far from crowded , certainly more boys than customers. Novelty was quite big, 7 or 8 strong, pack of Indian tourists of mixed gender Not long ago almost impossible to see them I bars, now they are almost everywhere. Funny part was they couldn’t figure out what the best spot is and changed seats at least 3 times. Plan was to go to Atlas afterwards but when I confessed to CB that I like certain boy he said ‘buy him a drink “ so I called him over. It turned they hey know each other AND , later one in the room I discovered that he has profile on Grindr I’m following and even exchanged few messages with. Of course his profile picture showed him much taller and bit more muscular than original but no to a degree it was misleading. We hit it on from minute one so when he suggested we go to Jupiter because he never saw show there I was happy to oblige. At 11 p.m., few customers in Jupiter, again less than boys on the stage but it was blessing as we got prime seats by the side of the stage, not in some obscure corner. Even better, shortage of clients made , normally sober looking boys , smiling at customers including me , even if there I’m almost unknown nobody and tonight I was winged by two boys already. I noticed another boy I’m watching on Grindr and treated him to no less than 3 red notes during three walkabouts when we were there – investment for a future. I informed CB that our buy from Dreamboys is going with us and he was quite OK with it although disclaimed that he will not participate in activities because he is his friend. At midnight we left or first tried to leave, shockingly mamas an demanded I pay 500 off fee for taking a boy from bar. WTF ? I brought both boys with me , one of them used to work there for short period shortly after covid , another one was never inside ! But it seemed no to register, only when both boys were involved it turned out he took Dreamboy for somebody else – one of his own staff !. And we are talking about mamas an I saw there few times before. Anyways boys sorted it out before it escalated to ruckus but that is warning to everybody- stand your ground. I was more amazed than upset. We went to Foodland to east something where we joined reader already there and them went to the room where CB finally could stick to his phone uninterrupted – for prolonged time he tactfully retired to the bathroom . Every trip we meet the precious boy about existence of we never had idea before and this was this trip case. Sure I saw him on Grindr but did not even connect that boy to one I had in my room until he already pointed hat we exchanged some messages few days ago . Certainly it was best meeting of this trip, active , endowed , master kisser, you name it. Too bad he was booked tomorrow and is also leaving Thailand on Friday. Whenever I return, I know for whom I will be looking for. I gave him 1000 more than we agreed for and it was certainly well deserved and even better , worked for.

Day 3 Breakfast at Zing is in my opinion very good value at 189 baht for quite extensive selection. At the moment they have even promotion, if you buy 3 times , 4th is free. Track is kept on card they gave me when I bought 1st one. One of massage guys from Jomtien Complex I engaged few times in the past probably spied me on Grindr or passing by with my friend through the Complex yesterday because out of blue he sent me a message this morning so I invited him for 1 pm to come and check how he likes my room. We did not bother with massage and it was kind of kissy-huggy reunion. For dinner I decided to try recommended by few Sophia’s Kitchen opposite Dick’s in the Complex and indeed their chicken with cashews is one of best I had ever. Complex is busy preparing for Pride Night tonight with 2 stages set up so my hope is that famous Max will grace that night with his presence at The Best Bar. Early evening as arranged yesterday my guy from Dreamboys showed up and today’s session was even better and hotter than last night to a degree that I forced additional 1000 baht on him upon learning that tomorrow he is going home for a few days. Hope to see him again whenever I will be in Pattaya. I need to find a way of hosting him overnight, good sign was that today he did not say no when I revealed my plans about future. I liked he did not promise anything but said he feel more comfortable with me now and will think about that. Okey, okey Well after dark I went to Supertown filled with expectation that my Maxhunt will materialize. Lots of people everywhere and truly festive atmosphere. I parked myself at The Beast Bar but no, there was no Max in sight. I was watching shows produced by every bat on the stage in front of The Venue but Max was missing when his bar was presenting their part. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow, also day when he normally performs there. My beer was brought to my table by very manly faced Lao twink so after few sips I offered him a drink. By time I decided to call night off I consumed two and he 4 bottles of Chang. Not sure who first suggested we go home together but certainly we had the same in mind so of we went. While I was disappointed with Max absence , at least I satiated another curiosity. In @Home bar I noticed muscular guy I stalk on Grindr who advertises he likes kissing. Had I noticed him earlier I’d try to engage hi but now it was too late and may be it was good after all. While passing by I gave him red note to signal my interest and reaction was somewhat strange, instead of expected smile, wai and thank you I got kind of grimace one sees when somebody almost steps on dead rat or dog’s poo on the pavement. But no, he did not give me note back so not being sure what I’m supposed to think I just kept walking with my guy in tow. On our way we met aussie_ from forum celebrating night with his friends. To hotel we went in style – both of us on the same motorsai, clearly twinks have advantages of not taking so much space. By his own admission he started his work in the bar only few weeks before so lack of experience was visible but was offset by clear willingness to do the best o earn his tip. Me and twink and happy with him ! End must be near. It was already dawning when he asked for permission to go home which was granted . after he left I slept quite well till quarter to 11 am. I barely made to the breakfast but I did it !!

CEBU Trip Report – Part Ia (28 & 29 December 2024) This is my active ongoing trip report for Cebu City in the Philippines. I am in the Philippines for 62 days as part of my tax minimization plan, as discussed in this previous post: https://www.gayguides.com/topic/61065-bangkok-trip-report-august-2024/page/5/#comment-419422 The other objective is to see if I can find a retiree place that is similar to what I have back in Jomtien Thailand, in the Philippines. Consequently, I will search for hirise condos that are on or near the beach with balconies with sea views – as is commonly found in Jomtien. This will prove to be a difficult task as discussed further on in this trip report. 28 December 2024, in the afternoon, I leave Jomtien in the late afternoon for the Amari hotel via a new car service that Youtube blogger “Pete on Retreat”, my friend’s Thai girlfriend started, Koi Taxi, who drove me to the Amari hotel at Don Muang airport. My Thai boyfriend was with me to say goodbye and many tears were shed as the car service pulled away. Fee was 1,800 baht. My flight on 29 December was at 6:30 am, so I wanted to already be at the airport when I woke up at 3:30am the following day. I chose this Amari hotel because it is physically connected with a pedestrian bridge that crosses the busy Don Muang Toll Way and puts you directly into the international departure area. I did a test run (walk) before going to sleep – which allowed me to get a good night’s sleep for the journey to an unknown country for me. The Amari is not cheap but convenient, I paid 4,237.20 baht for 1 night. I chose the Cebu Pacific 6:35am flight, as it is a non-stop direct flight from Bangkok into Cebu (Mactan airport). This is the only direct flight that I could find and only occurs 1 time per day at this very inconvenient departure hour. The flight is only 4 hours with a 1 hour time zone change – with the Philippines being 1 hour earlier than Thailand. Cost was around € 500 euro, as I wanted a flexible ticket with enough luggage allowance for a 62 day trip. Flight was great and non-eventful arriving slightly ahead of schedule. I collected my luggage and then headed towards the immigration control. As I had already registered for my eTravel QR code (and printed it) back in Jomtien I was able to bypass the chaos that those passengers who had not yet done so had to do on their mobile phones. I presented myself at the immigration desk and the lady was somewhat annoyed with me. She said, Sir, you cannot stay for 62 days without a proper advance reserved visa. I apologized and I explained to her that I was not aware of this requirement. She then wanted to know my purpose for my visit and then agreed to give me the non-Visa maximum of 30 days, which she then stamped into my passport. She told me that around day 29, I should go to the immigration office in Cebu City and ask for another 29 days ( this will give me 59 days in total – so I am not sure what I will need to do for the final 3 days ? ). Then I went to collect my luggage and went to eat, as I needed to kill time, as my arrival time was way too early – as my AirBnB check-in time was for 2pm. So, I ate slowly in some random Filipino restaurant and had my first Filipino meal – lots of rice, some weird pork things with some vegetables. It was so-so and I was not impressed. Important notation: Back in Jomtien, I had already purchased an eSim with my preferred provider = , for which I paid $32 USD for 20GB of data for a 30 day validity. I have used them previously in Vietnam and I was happy with the service. I activated my pre-purchased eSim while I was waiting for my luggage to arrive. This allowed me to reserve a car and/or taxi via the app. You need to remember that the eSim offered by Airolo does not include a local phone number, so you should preload the apps that you might want to use in the Philippines, PRIOR to arriving into the country, as they often require that you have a local phone number for SIM verification. I found this out the hard way on 20 Jan 2025, when I tried to order a motorbike taxi via the Grab app – when Grab told me that I instead needed to install the Move It app , which allows you to order motorbike taxis. Unfortunately, the local Philippine version of Grab does not include the Move It capabilities yet – even though Grab has bought Move It back in August 2022. The only way that I can install the Move It app is if I agree to buy a physical local SIM card that would assign me a Philippine phone number. Note that to find your pre-ordered Grab car/taxi it is not very clear where to go. You should exit the Mactan airport international arrivals section and walk to the Domestic arrivals section and then walk past that building following the walkway towards the parking lots Arrival Bay C-1-C4 and then wait there for your car there. Here is a guide with pictures prepared by Grab: https://www.grab.com/global/airport-rides/mactan-cebu-international-airport/#:~:text=Arrivals&text=1.,at%20the%20pick%2Dup%20point. My Grab fee was 572 pesos (~$9.78 USD), not bad for the 45 minute ride from Mactan island into Cebu City. Below map displays the Airport and then my first AirBnB. It is important to note that I have strategically decided to live in 3 different neighborhoods in the Cebu City metro area as follows: 2 are within Cebu City: first in what is known as the CBP = Cebu Business Park, second in what is known as the Cebu IT Park. I am considering the above 2 places as my comparator to living within the city limits of Pattaya city from the point of view as an elderly retiree. 1 in Newtown on Mactan island – as my comparator to living in Jomtien from the point of view as an elderly retiree. As of the writing of this report, I have completed the first condo living in CBP, and now I am in day 5 of my second AirBnB condo living in the CEBU IT Park. I arrived at the Cityscape Grand Tower and easily checked in with the ground floor security team into my “TINY” AirBnB on the 32nd floor (there are 34 floors in total). The AirBnB owner gave me a digital entry on-the-condo-door keypad code. After opening the door digitally, I was able to then fetch a physical electronic key from the table. The condo was truly very small (it looked bigger on the AirBnB site – pics are below) but nicely done and had the prerequisite mini-balcony that overlooked the parts of Cebu city that are towards the sea waterway that separates Cebu City from Mactan island. From the 32nd floor balcony it is possible to see the sea that is even beyond Mactan island as well as the planes landing and taking off at the Mactan airport. The views were stunning. Photo of my Cityscape condo room. Some photos of the stunning views from the mini balcony: Note that they built many hirise condominium buildings but without balconies – a true tragedy. Consequently, to get a condo room with an external balcony was a true challenge. I paid € 700 euros for 20 nights, at a rate of € 35 euros per night – not bad in my opinion to be located just 2 blocks outside of the CBP – Ayala mall + Avida condo residences complex. My neighborhood was quite safe, where the only annoyance was the poverty that is on the edges of CBP – as my condo was 2 blocks outside, so I had to often encounter the poor begging families who send their children to play the sympathy card day after day. Security is a serious activity both at the Cityscape Grand Tower as well as in the entire multiple block enclave of CBP – as it is well patrolled by private security details who are armed – which scares any potential trouble away. I walked over to the nearby CBP Ayala mall, which is gigantic with 250,000 m2, whereas, Central Festival back in Pattaya has 200,000 m2. I ate an early dinner and I went over to the giant 7 floor Metro store to buy towels to put down on my AirBnB condo mattress – to avoid getting in trouble with the owner (I am referring to a previous incident when massage oil contaminated the AirBnB mattress). Exhausted from waking up at the crack of dawn, flying, checking in, buying sundries for the fridge it was time for a well deserved in-room massage. I fired up the apps, as follows: Grindr – has the most number of users, Heesay – second highest, Planet Romeo – third highest, Blowers – fourth highest, Hornet – in last place – very little activity – unlike back in Pattaya where it is often the number one app with the most available number of users. After chatting with many of the locals on Twitter (X) and in the above apps, I was told that there are also other modalities to meet the local guys, which are: X – just announce your availability and people will DM you. You need to be cognizant of the hash tags; #altercebu, #cebualter, #saunacebu, hire, masahista, #hilot. Or, you can use the above tags / search words and search for your type of desired situation. Tinder – I have no experience with Tinder. Bumble – again, I have no experience with Bumble. Facebook groups – I performed a search for CEBU Gay FB messenger and Google returned many query hits. As I don’t have FB, I could not utilize any of these. As soon as I entered into PlanetRomeo, a sexy manly masseur with a profile name like, “MasseurJerome” wrote to me and I invited him to my condo. This being the Philippines, all visitors need to be registered with the downstairs condo security team. I employed his services for 90 minutes for a fee of 3.000 pesos (~ $51 USD). I found out later that this was on the high side for Cebu – but I was happy with his massage and the fun afters – as he was able to edge me very well. Here in the Philippines the concepts of SIDE and EDGING are very well diffused within the various apps and English being one of their primary local languages (Tagalog, Visayan (Cebuano), and English). I found that when they speak Cebuano, there are many common words with Spanish. Day 1 (29 December 2024) concluded.

Planning to be in Bangkok for Songkran, last minute plans had me on a road trip through Chon Buri and Rayong instead. I was glad to have escaped the insane crowds of perfectly sculpted Chinese muscle gods glistening in sweat and targeted sprays from water guns, aimed at their tight white shorts with nothing underneath. I returned to our beloved city of sin, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayutthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit, only to see the crowds dramatically reduced. And hotel rates cut in half. Ah, bliss. i quickly decided to check out Atlas since there is one particular performer from The One and even formerly from Tawan I believe, who I quite like. He’s older, shorter, Thai but gives a mixed vibe almost as if Latino- confirmed, he’s not. Unfortunately he’s not there. The bar is actually quite slow. It’s me and one other table for a while until a few more tables trickle in. Not a great vibe, but the show goes on, and is somewhat enjoyable. None of the guys are my type, even though the mamasan (a very femme, short lil’ dolled up queen) is pushing me towards a young looking boy from Myanmar who she guarantees has a massive tool, wrist thick. Having never been with a boy from Myanmar, and his face being somewhat cute in a ferret type of way, and his pecs quite juicy but soft and undefined. Not an awful prospect, but no. There’s one guy who looks Polynesian who has an amazing body, but he sits apart from the rest of the guys and doesn’t engage in eye contact. I was hoping to feel his bicep in exchange for a tip, but he seems disinterested. A guy on stage is very eager, and making motions toward me and trying to act comedic. He’s older, lean, muscular, okay bulge. He’s always nice to me and I never tip or buy him a drink, and today I reflected on that as he’s one of the few performers who tries to increase the vibe. I pay for my drink (vodka coke) which is 500 THB, leave a 100 THB tip and offered 100 THB during the show to feel someone’s erection. I leave, feeling mixed but not disappointed. Atlas has been better before, a mere month prior. It must be a bad day. I get pulled across the street which I always find to be a confusing mess of bars. I end up in what I assume is Fresh Boys. It’s up some stairs, above what I believe is Good Boys formerly Screw Boys? Please correct me. The entire layout is confusing to my poor stupid little brain. And more to that- what shows on this soi are the best? As of posting, I have one day left- please, share the best! Honestly I’m STUNNED at the lineup here. Immediately I see 17 and 23- both have big ears, lean and entirely ripped bodies with bulging pecs, biceps and impossible thin waists and torsos. The porportions on both are exactly my type. The mamasan here is a a bit pushy, but in a light and funny way. She’s got a bit of a charm. She invites 17 over: I don’t buy him a drink, but I give him a tip, and she nods for him to sit with me. I ask him some questions and find out he’s straight and from Vietnam and I immediately remember my last bar boy experience with a Vietnamese guy which was just blatant ripping off at every corner. I go cold. Ah- okay, not this one. He sits with me for a moment and then leaves. There is a big cock show and 23 is the first on stage. I need him. I motion to him to come for a drink afterward. During the parade where the boys allow you to touch (and the announcer says suck!) I tip him 100 THB and confirm I’m buying him a drink. He sits with me. English is not the best but not bad. He’s from Vietnam. Oh no. Are you straight? Yes. I’m fine with that. I get a sense he’s more honest than the last, but I’m so skeptical. In the end, the prospect of being next to this guy in bed is too much to resist as he’s almost flawlessly my type. And lo and behold; nearly every guy on stage is acceptable to a degree. They hit my specific audience I guess. The best bar lineup yet? After some back and forth, asking about the pricing, and ensuring there’s no ridiculous restrictions or extra charges for simple things, I agree to off him. 400 THB for my drink (vodka coke), 400 THB for his drink, and 500 THB for the off fee. 1300 THB to the bar. As discussed, 2500 THB to the boy at the hotel. I was honestly surprised it wasn’t 3000 THB! He changes and we walk to my hotel. It’s The Quarter Silom which is a great rate during this downtime, at 40 USD. I watch him shower through the frosted glass and then he lays on the bed and turns on straight porn on his phone. I softly lick his nipples which are perky on his bouncy pecs, impressively so for his small frame. He moans whether fake or not, and I work my tongue down his tongue, sucking gently on the crevice where his legs meets his crotch. I place each testicle in my mouth and dance my tongue around them, then lick up the shaft and swallow his cock whole. It’s impressive in its size at around 17cm and slides down a throat with ease. I pull him into my throat again and again by sucking gently, and swirl my tongue while doing so. He pulls my head deeper until he’s fully inside my throat, and I create suction and wiggle my tongue in place. I love sucking him, watching his chiseled abs clench while my hand is behind on his back, above his arched ass. This boys body is absolutely perfect. I’m allowing myself every desire that arises in savouring it. I ask him to fuck me, he places a condom on his rock hard cock, and directs me to the edge of the bed. He slams his cock into my with professional ease, and immediately starts at a rhythm that has my prostate pulsing. Wow. This guy can’t be more than 22 and has a skill like this? I can’t hold it for long and I cum hands free, blowing a load all over my chest after just a few minutes of him slamming my hole. He immediately gets off, removes the condom and showers. So straight, I think to myself. I give him the 2500 thb as agreed and I look for a 500 to tip him with and only have 1000’s. I take a handful of small bills and think to give it to him, but feel it may be insulting, so hesitate. He sees this in my hand and looks down and seems sad to not receive it, and leaves. I vow to return to the bar and tip him properly, as not only did he not rip me off, he provided a good service and that would be rewarded in this type of industry as it’s sorely missing.

Filipino men are cut, poorly. Thai men are uncut, usually. Filipino men are on average, thicker and shorter in penis size. Thai men are on average, thinner and longer in penis size. Filipino men tend to have a bit of chubbiness, even when fit. Thai men then to be thinner, even when fit. Filipino men don't have as many tattoos. Thai men typically have a few. Filipino men will manipulate and lie to you, but they believe they are being honest. Delusion. Thai men will manipulate and lie to you, but they are well aware of what they are doing. Tactic. Filipino men are ashamed to be filipino. Thai men are proud to be thai. Filipino men fall in love before you even meet them. Thai men fall in love after you fuck them. Filipino men will rarely ask for money, being around a white person is enough for them because they value whiteness and mediocrity over anything else. Thanks colonization. Thai men don't see white people as anything other than what they are, tourists. Filipino men will fight tooth and nail to convince you that PH is the best country on the planet, all the while claiming to be "mixed." Thai men don't give a shit what you think, Thailand is already great. Filipino men will stretch the truth on everything, and romanticize even the most trivial things. Thai men don't care to impress you, they are more curious. I could go on for years. They are nothing alike.

Day 4 HC left at 6 and I got some sleep. Past 8 I went for a breakfast to Ibis Styles, they have a deal , buffet breakfast for 250 and it’s extremely good value. After that short survey of Patpong market and back to hotel to pack up. Most of my stuff I’m leaving there as I will be returning to the same place . That part is usually easy for me as I’m used and well trained to travelling light. S showed at hotel on the dot, whole in smiles and we went to Don Muang by usual BTS+Mrt+ SRT red line way. All very smooth although they removed from his luggage some big bottle of body lotion but he kind of expected it. In order not to lead into temptation we were seating separately as one never knows where his hand may land in the plane full of people. Taxi for 180 to our hotel, The Space but south of city center but still walking distance there. We both are in Chiang Rai for the first time. After shower we went to the city , on our way had some local meal 200- for both and secured an adventure for tomorrow – for 1000 per person I bought trip to the Golden Triangle, whole day , visiting 7 places. Soon after dark we retired to hotel as I claimed I’m tired while in fact all I wanted was some intimacy with such a hunk. That turned out easy to have. I guess he felt bit indebted. Second very sweet night in row , I’m afraid to become diabetic. Alarm set for 6.45 am. Few pictures from evening walk in Chiang Rai

Just post something negative about Russia or something positive about the USA...he'll find you 🤓

I'm now travelling outside of Bangkok, so here are some notes from recent times. It's been a little quiet on the guy-front whilst I've been in recovery, so not too much excitement to report on as of yet. I tried out a couple of hotels (that I haven't tried before) in the general area - BnB98 - I found this whilst perusing google maps. It's in the same small alley as Pula Silom and G.O.D nightclub, and I thought I would give it a try since it didn't look too bad and is well-located. This is a strange one though - you can book via the usual channels (booking.com/agoda) however there is no reception (there is a cafe downstairs that is run by the same people as the hotel - I think). Basically they will send you a one-time-code to open the room and inside is a door card to use for the remainder of the trip. Since there is no reception, my passport details were not taken so I am not sure how they get away with not reporting your stay to immigration (as hotels usually do). Anyhow, the prices are reasonable and there are also some cheap rooms with shared bathrooms. I was booked in for 4 nights, but I lasted 1. My issues - the door did not have any secondary lock from the inside. Since there was no reception, the front door is always open so anyone could just go up into the building. It is so noisy - I could deal with it being so close to the BTS, I could deal with the noise of the nightclub nearby, but I couldn't deal with the man singing karaoke at 6am. The bathroom blinds also didn't fully cover the windows so it's possible someone in the building opposite may have gotten an eyeful if they were looking close enough, and there was no room safe. Some of these things I already knew from reading the reviews, but I just couldn't do it! I thought it would be good to be right up in the action, but I think I would prefer to be slightly a distance away. Or a better hotel with more amenities. Silom Convent Garden Hotel - I actually read about this hotel in a report from Vinapu so decided to try. I ended up getting a very good deal on one of their bigger rooms whilst booking direct online, which the receptionist told me was an error on their side and I should not have gotten it for that price, but he had to honour it since I already paid for it. This place is closer to Chong Nonsi but still in walking distance to all the fun places. The place is quite dated and falling apart slightly but is still fine, and what I especially liked about my particular room type is that it had a washing machine, which was very handy. I probably wouldn't stay there again, but it was good to try somewhere on the other side. It is also right next door to Sauna Mania, and a short distance to Arena for those who are interested. Massage - Senso - I visited here hoping to see the guy that I met in January who I had an excellent time with, but he was not to be found and the manager hadn't heard from him either (I ended up messaging him later on Line and he confirmed he wasn't working there anymore and told me where he was now working). Anyhow, as I entered, another guy entered at the same time as me, however he left shortly afterwards. Perhaps he wasn't keen on the lineup? or the price? The pricing structure is new, compared to how it was previously - a 90 minute massage will cost 3300 THB and is an all-in price that includes both the massage and the tip. I forget how much the 60 minute option cost. I asked the manager to tell me who can do both top and bottom (as I like to flip-flop) and he pointed out who was able. The line up was mostly hunks, but there was this one twink guy that I had my eye on so I ended up choosing him. I had only been to Senso twice before, once in January as already mentioned, and once last year, and I briefly wondered if the guy I chose was the same guy as last year but I couldn't quite remember, and for some reason I remember him being taller. Anyhow, we went upstairs where I firstly had a shower and he then had a shower, and started with the massage which tbh wasn't super sensual but it was okay, and then the afters started which was pretty satisfying. We flip-flopped a few times which was lots of fun and afterwards we had a shower together where he helped me wash the massage oil off. It was at this point that I saw his tattoo of his name that I put 2 and 2 together and it was the guy that I had last year. I didn't recognise him, but in all fairness, he didn't recognise me either lol. We later confirmed when I tried to add him as a friend on Line, he was already my friend. I had a satisfying time, but the guy I had in January, I felt I 'connected' with him more. And the sex was way hotter. So that's me updated for now, will write again when I have more to write about!

I'm in a mood of reminiscence today, so in the spirit of the Bangkokbois and his Dancing with Devil series, I'll relate here some of my own falling in love with a bar boy. I met my special boy, J., in Jomtien a year ago. When we first met, I thought he's the best looking boy in the bar at that time (and that's saying something because that bar is full of boys my type). He told me he only started work 4 days ago, already received quite a few offers for off, but he said no to all of them. "If I don't like and feel comfortable with a customer, I won't go with him to the hotel." "Would you go with me?" I asked after more than an hour sitting with J., talking about his life back in Laos, his family and also his previous love life. "Yes." There's no hesitance in his answer. "For how much?" "2000" "Why so much? Other boys only ask for 1500, and many would go for 1000." (to be honest, if he asked for 3000, I would still agree because he's exactly my type - body, face and personality even (and a killer smile to top it off), but I feel it's my obligation to bargain so as not to upset the market and some fellow customers "I know, but I want 2000." "Is 1500 ok?" "No, 2000." J. was firm. "Why?" "Because I never go with anyone before and this is my first time." (not sure about the logic of that argument, but I gave up haggling quickly, feeling thankful he didn't ask for 3000). So I paid the bar fine (300), my own drink and the boy drink (150), and off we went to Boyztown, where my hotel is. On the baht bus, I asked him a question I usually ask boys "What type of guys do you like to be your boyfriend?" "Someone like you." was his answer, again with no hesitance. At that time, I just laughed it off (well, bar boy standard line) and told him exactly what I thought "You would say that to all customers." "No, I do not." He seemed upset. After almost a year together, I finally believe he meant what he said that day. The next day, I'm back to the bar in order to off him again. I was early but he's already with a customer, someone from Australia. So I sat with another boy, whom I chose randomly, at a table opposite, so that I could watch what's going at the other table (I know I should not do that but I can't help myself). The customer seemed smitten with J.. He hugged the boy all the time, ordered food from outside, even bought him a bouquet when a door-to-door flower seller stopped by. At my table, ironically, things went the other way around. The boy sitting with me (who happened to be D. also a new boy, who started work as the same time as J.. He is the one who was asked to give a customer 40-min blowjob I talked about in the other thread), seemed very passionate and clingy. He hugged me tight, his hands all over my body, even found their way inside my underwear. He placed my hand on his shorts to show me he's already getting hard. Kept asking me if I want to off him. Unfortunately, my attention was all on the other table. To be fair, the cheerful Australian who sat with J. seems a very nice guy, except that he... sat with J. And then, he paid the off fee. "So much for I only go with someone I like and feel comfortable huh" I thought. Why I felt so upset about a money boy I just met? He's a money boy and that's what he does. I kept reasoning with myself all the way to M-bar, another bar where lots of boys know me. I need a distraction. And you know what, there's that customer again with J. sitting in a dark corner. Obviously, they just moved bar. I don't want to stay there, so I left again. Enough for today, I decided to go back. When I reached my hotel in Boyztown, I got J.'s message. It turned out he only agreed to go drinking in another bar (the customer did ask him for a hotel visit at the end of the night but he turned that down and still received a generous tip of 1500B just for being a companion) and he was free already. J. also seemed upset because he actually checked with D. to see if I eventually offed D. and D. somehow got the idea that I would come back to off him after I'm done with bar hopping. I don't recall saying anything to that effect, but after all, I don't remember whatever I said to D. back in the bar. The third day, I learned my lesson and told J. in advance I will come to take him off. On the bus, I received his message "Where are you? There's a customer who wants to sit with me, so I have to check with you. You want me to wait for you or is it okay I sit with him first?" Of course, I want J. to wait for me, but I also want him to make more money with drinks so told him it's ok to sit with the customer, I could wait until he's free. What a wait it was. The customer, an Asian one and quite young this time, sat with J. for nearly 3 hours through a bunch of drinks, probably trying to get him to agree to a hotel visit. After nearly 2 hours, I got impatient and messaged J, saying if the customer wants to off him, he can go but let me know so that I don't waste my time waiting. "NOOO, I want to go with you" came back the instant answer. Then, I decided to watch the show in M2M bar to kill time. About 45 minutes into the show, I got J.'s message "Come, quick, before I have another customer". It feels like a who-gets-to-the-bar-boy-first competition. I quickly paid the bill, left the show midway, and walked briskly back to the bar. J. literally ran from inside to meet me at the entrance with his stuff. That trip, the only boy I offed is J. and the rest is history. PS. Last night, on our way back to my hotel situated right in JC, J. ran into a customer, who sat with him a few times in the bar. "Where are you going?" The customer asked on passing by. "To hotel" J. flashed his irresistible smile, pointing at me. The customer stopped mid-stride, turned and did a double take. J., to a hotel, with a customer?

Day 5 In the morning unpleasant surprise – no water in the room. Luckily by time I finished breakfast and strolled around the area water returned so I managed to spruce myself up , pack little I had , left luggage on reception and at noon reported at Arena for massage session with Nuk . Muscular veteran there, it’s probably 7 or 8 years since I had my first session with him although he is not that old- started his career there early. Great massage, again with full coverage, he is professional in what he does , that’s sure thing. Than walk to Silom Convent Garden, place I discovered in August located right beside Sauna Mania in soi Phipat. Room a was available , lots of storage space and at least 20 hangers in the closed, microwave , even kitchen utensils but one substantial item absent – safety deposit box. I guess cheap rates mean something. Did some shopping at 7/11 at end of the soi and at 4 pm welcomed N, freelance masseur. Since I was just massaged we resolved to survey stamp collection instead. Great session , it was not our first meeting but today he seemed more active and more clingy than before. Absolute gem so my lucky streak continues. Rest of afternoon and early evening I spent in the room catching with forum , Line and e-mails. E-miel returned from his China trip so we agreed to meet in soi 4 at 9.15 pm . We never meet before. Waiting for him in mouth of soi 4 I was accosted by Vietnamese looking freelancer, handsome face but very skinny. Fortunately as soon as I told him I’m waiting for my boyfriend gentleman beaming smile in my direction showed up and it was emiel indeed. Nice conversation over beer in Banana outside. I was shocked to discover that he never went to Moonlight but somehow we decided to check Jupiter instead. It was Wednesday and at 10 pm Jupiter was surprisingly empty . We got front row seats , usually reserved for visiting big tippers with pussies but for lack of those we got invited to seat there. Moment of arrival was great as first walkabout started soon. I tipped again very hunky performer recommended to me by one of our member and again , the same like few days ago, no acknowledging smile when he was across the scene on other side. I know I should pursue him because of his looks but other half of me says , give yourself a break and save your money. Issue to be solved next trip I guess. Then one of performers looked familiar. I was pretty sure I saw him among crew at Sabaidee Spa in Dec 2021, then one of my friends engaged him and got his Line which he shared with me and we even talk about meeting but couldn’t find agreeable time. Luckily for all those years I kept his Line. Not sure he is the guy , lets call him T , I slipped red note into his hand when he was passing by and few seconds later , when he was on another side of the scene I was rewarded with broad smile , rarity in Jupiter. Then we watched show and when at midnight was time to make moves I decide to invite my guy for a drink. Good sign was , he was clearly happy and reason was explained by mamas an- it was his 1st day in the bar today. Then I pulled my phone , showed him profile in question and yes, he confirmed it’s his. Finally , after 4 years I had chance to hug such dreamed about hunk. Emile in meantime did not waste time and invited one of boys for a drink as well. It needs to be said that at that time, post show , mood in the bar improved , sober , disinterested looks are gone and boys are behaving normally, friendly smiles , clicking glasses etc. Neither emiel nor myself did not waste time, I asked my guy about going with me , he sounded enthusiastic , no wonder , first day and off already, I’d be too. Soon two sets of us left bar. Since I have habit of feeding my overnighters I asked him if he is hungry. He was and modestly suggested Foodland – good sign and there , another good sign , he settled for ordinary rice with vegetables, nothing fancy so bill for two of us was not even 200. It's a bit of walk along Convent to hotel and only there I asked about Long Time , to which he agreed , I’d say matter of-factly. Quoted me hair rising price but still much less than I expected to hear so I agreed as it would be stupid to let such a chance to pass by over 1 or 2 thousands. Great body, great personality, good English, active and patient, I’d even say caring , whatever good can be said about ones off – he ticked all boxes. Even when we waked up and it was 11 am he did not make any move indicating he is in rush to leave like he knew what is my pet peeve. I expected many things in life – to win lottery big , to become famous politician, scientist , movie star, pope and even best street cleaner in whole Bangkok but I never thought I will live long enough to say that my best off of the whole trip will be from Jupiter. It was never even close possibility but here I am !

Day 6 Bangkok - Phetboy and Avarin Had made an appointment for the afternoon at Phetboy in Saphan Khwai area. My original thought was to visit this shop early afternoon before BTS was too crazy, hang out in that area of Bangkok for some dinner, then visit Phoenix in the evening. However, getting a response from Phoenix via LINE was challenging to say the least. I finally decided whoever was managing their LINE account had very limited English skills. Eventually, I started writing my messages using Google Translate and would copy and paste the Thai version into LINE; then need to translate the Thai reply back into English for me. Slightly frustrating process. It became so late with the back and forth that I decided to schedule something for tomorrow with Phoenix and shortlisted five possible young men. I was told all five would be available. Will arrive when the shop opens at 1pm and need to make the final selection. I had a short list of three young men I was interested in at Phetboy based upon their daily updates via LINE. All three would be available. Turns out the guy I selected was from Laos. Photo was pretty accurate, although his online photos do not show his back, which is covered completely with a tattoo. I don’t dislike tattoo’s, but also don’t like when the body is mostly covered by them or they are not tastefully done. Shop is very basic, for those who have never been. My assigned room was up one level. Two rooms on that floor. They were very busy, so business must be good. Room next to mine was occupied as were two rooms on the next floor up. Shared shower with urinal on the floor. Two customers waiting as I left, so a popular shop for sure. Other customers whom I actually saw where all Asian. No frills here. Mattress pad on the floor. However, after being on tables with thin padding, I actually preferred this as it was more comfortable. Waiting area is small. Several therapists were hanging out in this area as well. Don’t know if they were waiting for clients, or would be available for walk-ins. I will say this…out of all the places I have been so far this trip, here I felt uncomfortable and had the feeling of age/size discrimination from the young men hanging out in the area. Just the overall demeanor, tone of voice, facial expressions. It just gave me a strange vibe. I did not get that same vibe from my therapist. I had arrived about ten minutes early, so he was not even there yet. Massage was not great, but better than I expected from a shop like this. His style was a little more aggressive than I like, and not much intimacy. He is a freelancer and I have seen his photo listed on other shops in this area. Would I hire him again…possibly, but at a different shop. Would I return to Phetboy, in all probability, no. They only seem to offer one hour massages and prices vary from 400-600 Baht. Minimum tip varies by therapist, but mine was 1000 Baht. I gave him 1500 Baht. They also offer outcalls. When I made the reservation, they asked if I wanted in-store or outcall. If there was a next time, I would opt for the outcall to my hotel. Made a quick stop at Big C for a couple of personal toiletry items before taking BTS back to Sala Daeng. Still processing my thoughts on Phetboy and feeling somewhat unfulfilled, I decided that I would definitely go check out the show at Fresh Boys tonight. Went back to the hotel to rest for awhile and decided to head out for dinner around 7pm. Knew that Fresh Boys opened the doors at 8pm, but wasn’t sure I wanted to get there that early. After eating I walked through the night market down to Surawong. I had remembered reading a post on the forum recently about someone’s experience at Avarin and how things advanced from foot massage to oil massage. Since I had some time and my experience at Phetboy was less than desirable, I thought I would walk past the group of massage shops on Surawong and just check it out. Urban was all female except one lonely male. They were very busy with most chairs filled and this is a large facility. First Avarin shop was mixed male and female therapists and not really anyone that caught my attention. Shop was not busy. The Green Massage was also empty, with all guys out front except one female. She was very aggressive or pushy at trying to get me to go inside. Nobody really caught my eye, either, so I kept walking. Second Avarin shop also had no customers with all guys outside except two females. I kept walking across the entrance to the hotel, but one cutie had caught my attention. He had looked and smiled as I walked by, was young and twinkish, and my gaydar was telling me there was potential here. So, I turned around and walked back, looked at the menu board, was undecided until the one female who appeared to be in charge said I could select anyone I wanted. I said ‘anyone?’, to which she replied yes so I pointed at the cute boy and said him. Foot massage. I was about to try my hand at the same thing had previously been reported on the forum. Turns out he is Thai, 24, and identifies as gay. Anyway, during the foot massage there was some noticeable arousal on my part. There wasn’t another person in the shop. Rest of the staff was still sitting outside in the front. Just the two of us inside. He noticed, eyes got a little bigger, smiled and looked at me, and continued with the foot massage. But, I could tell he was keeping a watchful eye above my knees. After about 15 minutes of this cat and mouse game, he finally asked if I would like oil massage. I had no plans of refusing, but sheepishly said ‘with you? full body?’, to which his reply was yes and mine was a resounding YES! We left the smaller shop and went two doors down to the larger shop with private rooms and in-room showers. To be honest, I enjoyed the game as much as the massage. This experience was far more rewarding and fulfilling than Phetboy. Foot massage was 300 Baht; addition of one hour oil massage was another 500 Baht. Gave therapist negotiated 2000 Baht tip. He initially requested 3000, but I knew better to accept this thanks to the forum. Finished up with a shower…alone unfortunately…one person stalls here and still just enough time to get to Fresh Boys for the show. Will report on that later.

So here's my update. Please be gentle. I made some serious mistakes and I'm going to just put them all out there so I don't make them again and hopefully it will help you guys avoid this kind of situation. I ended up booking another 24 hours with my guy from DG. He was incredible. It was like having a close friend in Tokyo that was excited to show you anything you'd want to see in his city. He seemed to really enjoy communicating with me. He knew more English than I did Japanese but with the help of Google Translate and DeepL, we were able to have great conversations. He also enjoyed getting me to better pronounce certain Japanese phrases and seeing me use them on people that we interacted with. He was cracking up at many of my failed attempts but it was worth it to see his reaction. We went to this bar called LOST in Shibuya that was created by a famous expat Youtuber. I was really wanting to go so we went. When we entered he was told that he would be id'd in order to make sure he was of legal drinking age. He was allowed but I was a little taken aback by the request. The customers were all expats my age or older. He was the only Japanese guy and he was definitely the youngest at 20 years old. We ordered margaritas with the name "Go Fuck Yourself". He was having a super intense reaction to the sour and salty tastes and it was so fun to see him squirm. We really enjoyed that. We also swung by my old hotel to pick up my heavy backpack. He was such a gentleman throughout always making sure I was cared for and often insisting to carry my bag which I usually denied him but acquiesced a bit because it was pretty heavy. When I booked him for 24 hours I paid a bit extra for the private unattached apartment which was nice. I only had use of the apartment until 1pm the following day even though our time together expired at 3pm. He wanted to take me to a big park in Shibuya but it was closed. I wanted to take him to Teamlabs Tokyo but it was sold out that day. I had mentioned shrines and temples earlier and I had seen something about Yasukuni so I mentioned that to him. We got a taxi to the Yasukuni shrine. I knew of this shrine because among Japan's neighboring countries it is controversial for various reasons I will not get into here. It was definitely a beautiful place. There were restrictions on photography and behavior in certain areas. There were guards there to make sure everyone behaved. My guy enjoyed showing me the different exhibits and making sure I did the various shrine specific rituals the correct way. We then went out to a Western/Civil War era themed steakhouse which was tasty and fun. I like that he takes me to these places where I'm the only obvious foreigner instead of the more touristy spots where foreigners are ubiquitous. We went back to the apartment for a shower and then raided the local 7/11 for beers and munchies for the apartment. We feasted and watched a famous Japanese movie that I recommended to him called Battle Royale. He'd never heard of it but was clearly enjoying it. Sadly I was tired and as we were getting ready for bed he took awhile brushing his teeth and I passed out. The next day we had some fun in bed and showered. Got breakfast at a tasty cafe nearby. For lunch we ended up getting some delicious Gyoza. We grabbed my bag around 1pm from the apartment which was sadly not available to me anymore. At this time it started to dawn on me that my time with him was soon to come to an end. My phone was low on battery so he rented a powerbank from 7/11 for me. I know I have an issue with getting emotionally attached to people I like too fast so I really had to try to keep it together. Even if it's just losing a paid friendship like this I find it difficult. He could tell I was struggling. I powered through it and we parted ways with a hug and kind words. He told me I was always welcome in Japan. What a guy. Apologies if this is a bit disjointed I've just had an ordeal in Osaka so I'm kinda fried. Sitting at the airport typing this and deciding if it's worth going out one last time in hopes of finding someone sexy before my 6am flight. I'll be posting a summary of my first night in Osaka soon. It's pretty awful so hopefully it's entertaining to read. Also, I did not go to King of College. I was preoccupied and the guys mostly didn't do anything for me just from looking at the pics on Insta.
