@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

I'm currently in Bangkok and will be leaving in about 30 hours so I need to be thoughtful with how I allocate my time. I arrived at BKK airport at 11:40pm last night. Immediately after customs I took out 10.7k baht from a Kasikorn Bank ATM. I then walked past the taxi area and instead opted for a Grab. I wanted to avoid any potential hassle with the taxi drivers as I'm under the impression that they like to gouge tourists a bit and I also wanted to pay with a credit card so Grab was ideal. Within 15 minutes my Grab arrived and off we went. About 35 minutes to my hotel in Silom. The ride with all fees was about 650 baht and I was feeling generous so added 200 baht tip. Checked into my hotel(The Quarter) at about 1:15am. I then freshened up and decided not to waste time and head straight to Good Boys. It was a 6 minute walk with the slightest drizzle of rain. First I walked down the main road to get a lay of the land and then doubled back to the Pavilion under Fresh Boys where the other gogo bar is located. It was about 1:45am and they were about to close so it was probably unexpected that I showed up. As I got close to the door a boy greeted me and walked me inside. I was sat at a table in the center of the room which was not ideal for me though the bar was pretty packed. Mostly boys but patrons too. I prefer to be on the perimeter so I can people watch. At my vantage point I couldn't see anyone behind me. I planned to just get a drink and not off anyone but the mamasan was sitting next to me and was persistently asking who I wanted etc. I kept smiling and declining anyone that came up to me. There were about 5 or 6 drag queens providing entertainment and then there was a show where a few of the boys hit a drum with their cocks. Afterwards a couple of them asked for tips and I politely declined. It was 2am and the mamasan was really trying to get me to off someone and then I saw a sexy guy I liked on stage. I told the mamasan his number and bought him a drink. I think he was surprised that I picked him. I asked if he wanted to go back to my hotel and he said yes. I asked the mamasan for the price. He proposed 3000 for boy, 500 for bar, plus 3x400 for the drinks. I countered and said it was too much so then he asked me how much I could afford. I said 2500 plus 500 off fee. This was what I had paid at Freshboys in March so thought it was a good price to offer. He accepted. I also added 100 baht as tip for the mamasan. I walked out paying 4300 all included for 3 hour short time with my Myanmar boy. He didn't speak English. Before I paid he said I could not fuck him and I agreed. We went to my room and using Google Translate I asked if we could shower together and he agreed. We did that and then started the fun. He said we could kiss but he was seriously bad at that or just didn't wanna be too gay so I gave up on kissing. He was enjoying using my mouth as a kind of vagina and eventually I could see him watching porn so I got curious and started jerking off with him. Alas it was straight porn so I assume he is probably gay for pay only. We did some more things and both got off and showered together. I really tried to make him feel comfortable. Once he was dressed I thanked him and we smiled and he went for a hug. It felt genuine. Overall I had a fun time my first night. I was a bit jetlagged and spent more than I had intended too. I also was being pressured due to time being short at Good Boys so I was not able to ask all of the questions I had meant to ask about what services would be provided. I also had hoped to get to know the guy before offing him. This will all be corrected for tonight. I will go to Freshboys for sure. I will be able to better assess the differences in type of boy. There were definitely plenty of Twink types at Good Boys but like someone said on another thread, it looks like they are a bit more well fed and have been to a gym before. I'm still trying to decide what I like. Ideally I find a boy that is willing to top tonight and he picks another boy to perform the act with in my hotel. I did see a very hot guy at Good Boys but he was sitting with some Asian men and a few boys. I was hoping to snag him but as the bar closed he changed into his street clothes and left with the other customer. If I go back tonight he will be who I'm looking for. On a side note, the boy I offed looked to be in his early twenties. When he stripped down I noticed a little lump on his penis which was rather off-putting. I'm not an expert on std's but hopefully that was not what it was. I don't think it was. If I'd seen that prior to being in my hotel I likely would have passed on him. Now I'm gonna take a nap and try to schedule a massage somewhere closeby. Not sure if i'll go somewhere that extras are likely. I'll hitup one of @vinapu's restaurant recommendations for lunch and then start going to the gogo bars around 9pm or whenever they open. I'm really trying to get better at saying no when people ask for money. I plan to just have one drink at a bar, Maybe spend 30 minutes and then move to the next one and end up at Freshboys at 9:45pm. I'll hang there and think about offing 1 or 2 guys but keeping my options open in case I wind up at Good Boys later and maybe I can hire that hot guy that was booked by someone else. I didn't see the number he was wearing. Apologies for the rambling post. I'm feeling rested now but I bet the jetlag will catch up to me sometime. I can sleep on the flights home.

I see that Shamelesmack (or Macaroni as he is known on this Forum) is back posting on his blog, and he has put up an updated set of maps of the Silom Area on his blog. Always handy to consult before you travel, he has a subtle colour coding for the massage places that is particularly useful. Map of Silom-Surawong area, October 2025 – ShamelessMack2

I was in Hurghada for a month in October 2025 and a time was had! The first 9 days I didn't have any sex. I was just sight seeing and enjoying the buffet, beach and pool vibes in my 5 star resort. Sunbathing and relaxing before I went wild! I had many massages in different places but only one place I was lucky to find guys willing to fuck. It was a very popular and busy hammam. The first time I was fucked there very quickly by a dark skinned guy skinny good looking with a small dick, it was quick and not that great. He was around 33 years old, short and quite annoying tbh. I gave him 300 EGP pounds tip. The massage wasn't that great either. I asked for another stronger guy the next time I went and he was much better really work on my ass so good. The massage was excellent. The problem with the place is that it is so busy with so many customers and workers everywhere nearby. The guy massaging me was 18 handsome skinny light skin with a 7.5 inch cock. I could feel his rock hard cock as the massage progressed. I sucked him and told him to fuck me near the end of the massage like with the first guy but he said it was too busy, which was very true and people kept opening the door. He told me to come at 7pm next time and he would fuck me then. I gave him 400 EGP tip, which is how much I gave all the guys I fucked in Hurghada. The regular guys I fucked who weren't massaging me didn't ask or expect money I just gave it and said it was for taxi, they were all very surprised and happy for it although. I had to force a few guys to accept it. The massage guy was very happy with the tip. The next time I came at 7pm the massage wasn't as amazing as the first but it was still good. He fucked me at the end and cummed inside me. I gave him 500 EGP this time. I should have just stuck with this Hammam. I tried many other massage places but no sex there although I had some surprisingly good massages with hot guys. I had 5 massages at the resort I stayed with really hot muscly guys but I was too scared to initiate anything and looking back they weren't going to jepordise their jobs at a 5 star resort by initiating. There were many hot muscly guys working in the resort but I was too scared to try anything. Many hit bar men, security, waitors but I didn't try. I had no sex in the resort itself but had sex at the Hammam. I also had great luck with the uber drivers. I would get drunk at night and drive into town. If the driver was hot and young I would try my luck. It worked 7 out 8 times. Only one guy refused me, which was a bit awkward but it was fine. I only hit on slightly older uber guy in his early 40s because he was so good looking. I gave him some vodka in a water bottle and he took me to his apartment. He had 9 inch thick dick and he fucked me good but was really guilty as he took me back to my hotel. He told me it was against his religion and that he had a wife and kids and that we couldn't do it again. I was a little disappointed but I moved on quickly. The next day I met this guy off grindr in his apartment. He was diving instructor with a deep tan, great body and good looking. He was smoking Hashish when I got there and I offered him some of my vodka so we drank and smoked together. Hashish is like a milder form of weed/marjuana. His English was very good and we had a great conversation for an hour before having great sex. He fucked me really a good long for an hour. I was sucking him and noticed his as hole was very clean and started eating his ass and then I slowly tried to fuck him. I don't know if it was his first time but he was that experienced or comfortable. After a while he flipped me over and fucked me so good hard until he cummed inside me. I kinda fell in love, the sex was great. He gave me his number afterwards. I gave him 600 EGP for the Hashish as I took some with me. The next night I got his number mixed up with another diver guy I met on an uber trip and asked to come over to smoke with him. He said OK but gave me another address to go. I was surprised by the address switch up but went with it. When I got there I was like this looks different but similar to the guy from last night but his his hair was short Abd the guy last night had should length beautiful hair and a longer nose. I was pretty drunk already and it only dawned on me when we got in the lift that this was the wrong guy! Anyway I went to his apartment. The guy is handsome with divers body while we were smoking Hashish he shocked me his six pack. We had a great night of conversation and I was very attract led to him but he gave strictly straight vibes so I didny try it. His friend Abd roommate was also smoking with us. The friend was even better looking than him Abd I could see the full definition of his long and thick dick through his jogging bottoms while he sat. The friend was definitely flirting with me and was interested but I felt the diver guy was telling him to cut it out probably because a lot of people tell me a give a straight vibe myself unless I am explicitly cruising or flirting with a guy. So in the end nothing happened. I should have asked for the friend's number but I didn't. I gave this guy 1000 EGP because he gave me a fair bit of Hashish to take with me after we smoked for 2 hours together. Back to the uber encounters. One young guy I sucked in his car and he fucked me in a quiet dark street. He was 18 years old using his father's uber account and car. He was 7 inches and fucked me good. He was really cute and innocent. He told me it was his first time and said he loved it. I personally hated my first time as a top because I got a tiny bit of shit on my cock. I always douche thoroughly when I bottom and carry wet wipes. I was drunk in all these uber encounters. I gave him 400 EGP tip. The next night I met this soldier guy on uber he was 22 and the most beautiful guy I met there. He had a toned body too. I sucked him in his car and he cummed in my mouth. He said he wanted to fuck me so he drove to the edge of town. He fucked me good with his 7.8 inches and thick dick and cummed a second time. I thought we were going to drive home but we talked for a while in the car and then he grabbed my head to suck him and he fucked me for a second time and cummed for the third time before he drove me back to my hotel. I gave him 400 EGP tip. The next night I met a smoking hot gym fanatic. He was 23 and very handsome. He was educated and spoke good English. He was 8 inches but not as thick as the guy the night before but still very enjoyable. He had a perfect 6 pack and wonderful muscles. He drove to a quiet dark street. I sucked him in his nice car and then he fucked me good in the back of the car. The next uber encounter was weird and strange. After hitting on him I realised the guy was mentally unstable and his dick was small. I said the spot he took us to was too public and not safe, which was true. I gave him 100 EGP and got out of his car. After the first 10 days in my 5 star resort I realised I was going to be having any fun there so I booked a cheap apartment in the centre of yown so I could give bring guys over. To be continued...

Caught up with @floridarob on Wednesday as he’s in town for some nosh and a wander. Started off at Nano’s CheeseSteak & Burgers restaurant over on Soi L K Pavilion which is off South Pattaya Road. As the name implies, choice of 2 items, CheeseSteaks or Burgers. Meat all from Australia, bread made freshly on the premises daily. Closed on Mondays. Somewhat bloated, walked down S. Pattaya Road towards Tukcom, then left on the side of Tukcom, then first right, pass Relax@Me Massage shop, where ‘me colleague’ met last nights ‘masseur’. Business was quiet, 2 boys out front, with 1 working inside. Left at Relax@me, pass Helios, aka The Blue Door. Did notice only a few shoes outside, so again, not busy. Right at the end onto ‘Sip Chet’ then first left then immediate first right onto Pattaya Soi 17, then wandered down to what was called Nice Boys, now called “Boys NighClub”. An interesting choice of name, “Boys AlmostClub” or Boys LocatedAShortDistanceAway Club”. Same mamasan on the front door, and the ‘Old Woman’ was still there loitering. @floridarob briefed the mamasan to keep the ‘Old Woman’ away before we entered. A bit disappointed, last year the boys were in their underwear, this year in shorts. 5 initially on show, then cut back to 4, as one disappeared out the back, obviously we weren’t his type. 2 locals inside and us 2 farangs. Drinks are 200THB, Boys drinks 300THB, with Off-fee at 500THB. A bloke entered wearing a blue hooped T-Shirt, looking like a Greek fisherman, that was the extent of patrons for the 30ish minutes we were there. A couple of the boys were a bit playful and smiling, although one was mostly glued to his phone, ‘Me Colleague’ engaged verbally with them both, concluding 1 was slightly large, the other Thai average. The other 2 weren’t engaging. One of the dancers was late 30’s if not early 40’s. Settled our bill, with a couple of tips administered using the @vinapu method, you know who too, then took a wander. Left out of “Boys NighClub”, then first left, walked pass the past, the old “Krazy Dragon”, boarded up, in fact all the old bars / shops were all boarded up on that part of the Soi. First left the first right, and “Winner Boy Bar” neon sign was the only sign of any life. “Euroboy$” bar was shuttered, “Rainbow” bar was open, but no punters. About 5 boys in their underwear were outside, however all jumped to attention and escorted us in. No other customers, however, within a minute of sitting down another farang entered, shortly followed by ‘Phil The Greek’. Drinks cheaper at 178THB, Boys drinks were 250THB, can’t remember the Off Fee. All boys happily fitted the Twink category, on stage we had 1 grey, a white and 3 blacks, referring to the underwear colour, of course. Interestingly, we were offered cushions as we sat down! Did check they were presentable!!. The first farang that entered after us did call down one of the boys, so business very quiet. The bar is owned by a Dane who was back in Denmark, so apart from the boys working and the Twinky barman, the place was running it’s self. For what could be the last of the Twinky Go-Go bars, if busy carries on as it is, this will be closing and ending an era. Settled our bill with Grey Trunks (see photo), as he was the one in front of us the whole-time dancing on an overturned old industrial reel of cable, tuck performed, (above average) and mutual sharing of the finger smell. As we left after 45 minutes or so, did notice there were another 3 suitably attired boys outside, so 8 in total working. Grabbed a BOLT and headed to CockA2 for some serious drinking.

So I went to Wabi Sabi. The interior was very nicely decorated. Comparing the interior to Kmanspa that I went to last time it was much brighter and minimal. I booked one of the guys that was available today via Line. He was as gorgeous as the pictures say and had a fun masculine vibe about him. I decided I would go with the flow and enjoy the massage from this sexy dude regardless if extras materialized or not. I'm not a fan of the massage table because it didn't have a hole for your chin so after an hour on my stomach my chin and jaw were feeling uncomfortable. Upon entering he asked me to take a shower so I did and changed into a robe. I also helped myself to some mouthwash but that was in vain. I laid on my stomach and he began the massage. He had great pressure, almost too much at times but he asked if it was alright. He definitely brushed against some areas very strategically so I had a feeling I knew where this was going. It was booked as a two hour massage. At about the one hour mark he asked if he could use the bathroom and I said ok. About 13 minutes later he comes out and continues the massage. Twice during the massage he put me into very suggestive positions with our bodies entwined. With about 25 minutes left he asked "do you want B2B?" I asked what that means and he said body to body for 1500 tip. I of course said yes and he stripped down. He had beautiful tattoos all over his chest and back that reminded of the full body ones that the Japanese yakuza get. So sexy! So then he gets to work with a focus on my nips while he works my piece with his oily hand. It was great but it wasn't quite doing it for me and I knew we were running out of time. He had been turning me on so much earlier but for some reason his tactics weren't going to get me finished in time so I took over while he focused his efforts on getting me off. He had made a comment wondering why I wasn't nearing climax and I didn't feel like explaining. One of my hands was kinda touching his muscled tattooed arms and back while I was pumping away. I honestly just wanted to explore his body and maybe a kiss but he never got near my lips. Well I kinda kissed the back of his head once or twice. He then made an executive decision and slipped a finger into my butt ever so slightly and he could tell it was well placed. As I was nearing climax he kept pushing in a little more until I shot. It felt great. We went over time by about ten minutes but that's fine due to his long bathroom break. I paid him the money and asked if he's working tomorrow and sadly he's not. I may have booked him again but I don't think it wise of me to book him again tonight if I really plan on offing a guy or two from Freshboys or some other place. Now to get a meal somewhere and get ready for tonight. I probably need to go to the ATM again because I don't think my 10700 baht is going to be enough as I've already spend over 7k.

Ha,ha.. I am also wrapping up a two day visit to Bangkok. Huge thanks to the commenters who recommended Arena. Ten seconds after my walking in, a guy walked in from an adjoining room and I pointed and said "Him" as he was the only guy there with facial hair which for some reason has become really important to me. As it turned it out he's exactly what I was hoping for, older, he says 40, with a ruggedly handsome face, a flat belly with some visible abs and beautiful brown skin. He's very pleasant and delightfully comfortable to be with. He says he grew up in farming country a few hours from Bangkok and showed me a couple of staged photos from when he was young in a farm field in traditional Thai clothing. He is exceptionally handsome in the photos and I asked if he had wanted to get into modeling and he nodded yes, but I'm not sure he understood me. When I asked he said he has a girlfriend. We've had two very enjoyable meetings and I will see him again tomorrow before my flight. I was also at Fresh Boy last night. I went about 9:30. I suppose old fat tourists are a target because they sat me in the front row in front of the stage. The guys were lined up doing a rotation on the stage. Most were too twinky for me, but one in his 20s started making faces and gestures at me and later sat with me for a drink. He said his name is Noah. He did a solo dance number as a cowboy and was a back up dancer a bit later. I told him I couldn't stay up to 1 am and he waved over a fixer guy. We settled on 3,000 for Noah, the house fee and a room upstairs. I assume they assumed it wouldn't take long for Noah get back downstairs and they were right. But I left happy, He's a sexy guy and I got a mouthful of sweet leche. I'm not sure if it's @Olddaddy who often mentions the breakfast special at Foodland. But I went there this morning to get as much of the GayGuides Bangkok experience as possible. The Grab experience at the airport was chaos but once I realized the number on my confirmation was the car's license plate I calmed down and it went smoothly. Extra special thanks to @floridarob who has been so helpful and patient with me in answering questions about Asian destinations. It made a big difference for my first stop in Bali and several 'massage'nfun' guys can also be grateful. Cambodia is next.

Today is my final day in Bangkok. I'll check out of my hotel at 11am and have them store my bag until I'm ready to go to the airport. I'm waiting to receive some Line messages about which masseurs are available. Maybe I'll go to The Green for a midday foot massage that might turn into something more. I've got 3500 baht remaining since I didn't off that second guy last night. I did mention choosing a second boy to my Lao Freshboy last night but he didn't really react. I got the impression that he preferred me all to himself or did not want to top a boy for me. Maybe next time! I promised to let him know before my next trip and he's looking forward to being with me for at least a few days then. We didn't agree on a price yet but I'm sure we'll come to an understanding and I'll obviously cover the off fees and all expenses during the time he is with me plus maybe 2k per day for him. A mini review of The Quarter Silom by UHG: It's my second time staying here and I've got to say I really like it. It's in a great location with tons of massage shops nearby. The staff have always been pleasant and I've never had issues bringing a boy back late at night. There's a fantastic pizza restaurant attached to the hotel called 90 Grams. I think I'll go there for lunch as I thoroughly enjoyed it on my last stay. There's also a nice coffee shop underneath the pizza place that I like. I always opt for the Deluxe room with bathtub and breakfast included. Both times I've been put in building 3 which is unattached so I don't even have to go through the lobby at night. Both times I've had a view of 9-Teen massage so it's fun to peak occasionally at the boys as they set up and hang out. I do think some of the boys are hot but I just get intimidated by so many guys looking at me so I usually just walk by and smile. The breakfast is fine. Nothing to write home about but the coffee machine makes cappuccinos and there's plenty of variety to where I can always leave feeling like I've got my money's worth. The rate comes out to $125 per night. They also have luggage storage and a bank ATM on premises. So for my purposes I'll keep staying here until someone on here convinces me to upgrade to something fancier. I usually only stay at Hilton's and Hyatt's because of my credit card points and free nights but I'm worried those hotels might be strict about joiners so I stay here. Haven't got a Line message today yet so I'll use Grab to get a motorbike ride to the MBK Center for some shopping before getting one last massage. I haven't been on the back of a bike for about 22 years since I was in Vietnam at age 17. Seems exciting.

@silverwolf76 Here it is: After taking the harrowing ride to 15M massage i went inside and was taken to the second floor. The receptionist asked what kind of massage i wanted. I selected aroma oil. I think i paid 550 for that and 1300 to Taro, all prepaid. Taro took me upstairs to a small room with a matt on the ground. He gave me a towel and directed me to shower in the bathroom/shower combo down the hall while he did the same upstairs. We both went back to the room in only towels. His picture on Line was a bit dated because he now has his full torso covered in tattoos. He was definitely hot. His hair was kinda interesting and different from the photos. Maybe it’s a style he's going for but it looked frizzy. As he was setting up his supplies I used Google Translate to say “please no penetration” in Thai. He looked at me and seemingly understood. He directs me onto the mat onto my belly. He starts giving a massage but i don’t think he’s the most well trained in that. Pretty fast he takes away my towel and is definitely focusing on my butt. I’m sure he’s used to really plowing his customers. I’m enjoying his muscular tattooed body and arms a lot and it was tempting to have him inside me. He could sense that and asks if he should put a condom on. I say yes against my better judgement. His length was normal size but his girth was tremendous. I’ve never seen a cock like that in person. He starts dousing me with oil trying to make his way in. I’m not very used to anal so it was kinda painful at times. Once he would get in he would kind of violently thrust in which disconcerted me. I then flipped over for him and he was doing more of the same. He was really into it but all the oil and pain was getting me soft so I directed him to let me blow him a bit. I came pretty soon after and we took our separate showers and departed. A fun experience overall but i wasn’t ready to be fucked like that. My fault for saying yes. Now i’m on my flight home next to some nice pastor religious guy whose been spreading the word in Africa for three weeks. I achieved Alaska Platinum/One World Emerald status which was the primary point of the trip. Also got to bed four sexy guys for under $500 total(plus flight/hotel/food/transport). Now I need to really maximize the value of the status by traveling a lot next year. P.S. My Lao Freshboy left his ring in my shower so i told him i’ll bring it back in March. He’s looking forward to my return!

No contact from Bee yesterday. Either he has figured out this ship isn't going to sail, or perhaps thinks the lack of any contact will produce a change of heart on my part. In either case, the silence was actually a relief to me. Enjoyed my day with Woody on Tuesday, and he hooked me up at his shop for a massage. That certainly helped lift my spirits. lol. Ventured out on my own yesterday afternoon to AquaCNX. Will include a full review when I get home and wrap up the trip report, but for now just wanted to update everyone on my current 'situation'. Head for Chiang Mai airport around noon to begin that long trek back to Denver. Not looking forward to that.

while Jason's story is uplifting , I still think if guy asks for support just after 3 or 4 days from 1st meeting coupled with fact that he has a job in bank and still managed to go deep in debt is bad omen and keeping in touch , never mind supporting him, invites never ending money requests.

He works at Kasikorn Bank. He goes between the Sathorn branch and the Silom branch. I have met him at the Sathorn branch for a quick cup of coffee when he has taking a break, so I have seen him actually working at the bank and in uniform with badge. That part I don't doubt. I know where the massage shop in Sathorn is located, very near his bank, but do not know the name nor did I realize he was working there. They are all older women except him. I thought he was just having casual conversation with them and did not realize they knew each other from a working relationship. No idea the name or location of the Surawong shop. He showed me photos of his parents, as well as his sister who was killed in the tsunami and some other family members that were killed. I believe he said he lost a total of 9 or 12 family members in that horrific event. I know his actual Thai name (Bee is nickname), have seen his official government ID, know the address of his studio apartment but never actually been there, and don't know how much he pays in rent monthly. I didn't want to ask at the time. I suppose the family photos could belong to someone else, but I would have no way of knowing that. Given that so much info was actually factual...I guess I just wanted to believe it was all true. Don't know what part or how much is fiction.

I spent a week in Bali. I went to the temples and the waterfalls and Ubud and the monkey forest and had a good time. I stayed in a villa in Seminyak. All the gay massage places were here. My favorite place was XXL Men Spa Bali , although I used XXL2 (same owner, same men) mostly because it was closer. B2B massages are advertised on the website. I used 2 of their men for 5 visits. I was able to get full service from both. Not sure if that is universal. I noticed that the guys (not just my two but the other men that I ran into) were all better looking in person than in the online photos. You can contact them on WhatsApp and they will tell you if the man you want is available or not. I also used Teman spa. Was able to negotiate with therapist B2B. No penetration, but I did not ask for that anyway. I was very happy. I also used Eksckusive Grooming Men Spa. They have a sensitive or sensational massage for the same price as the regular and I was very happy each time with therapist mostly undressed. Did not push for any penetration but was very satisfied Banana Spa and Coco Grande were so unappealing that I did not even give them a try. Of note, I got good to excellent massages each and every time. That is something that I have not found to be true in the past for these types of massages. Usually the massage is poor quality and it is all about the extras. I also had several of the men go back to the massage, because I still had time on the clock. None of the facilities are luxurious or even particularly nice, but they were clean and they were fine for shower, massage, shower. All of the men that I dealt with were very nice and very accommodating

This is an excellent review and analysis of mass tourism in Thailand from its early beginnings around 1960 to the latest funk in 2025. The issues discussed here are definitely not what any Thai government would want to hear, because the two booming side industries featured (property investment via nominee companies and sex tourism) can only exist and thrive through hypocritical non-enforcement of laws, which the narrator minces no words about. I especially like his mention of how the whole sex industry has become a social safety net for large swathes of the Thai population, juxtaposing it with the relatively poor record of "formal" tourism filtering down to benefit working people (as opposed to the elites).

Interesting, but definitely not the future Kings 8 and 9. Here's a photo of the two princes - ice skating at the Arosa Kulm Hotel in Switzerland. The future King Bhumiphol is on the left, wearing glasses, and his brother, the future King Rama 8 is on the right. The man in the photo is a hotel staff member, and the woman is the private tutor of the two princes.

Only a large network of stamp collectors....

modesty and frugality seems to be your second nature

Holding on to the handles at the back on a motorbike is dangerous. If the bike seriously buckles or bounces, you will be flipped off like an overloaded buckeroo (for those of you who remember the playing the thing in the 80’s). however, I noticed that’s how a lot of straight men hold on when a passenger on motorbikes. I suppose they feel it’s unmanly to do anything else. However, as a gay man, it safety first, and when I am on a bike taxi I put my two arms around the chest of the driver and cling on like a baby chimpanzee. So far I have not had any driver object. So guys, be safe, be gay, let the straights get the head injuries while you hold on tight….

Part 2... So after 15 days of no action in my resort but hooking up with plenty of guys on uber I decided to rent a very cheap apartment in the city centre just for hooking up because there were so many guys on grindr who wanted to hook up but could not host. The apartment was clean, basic, a bit dated but more than served it's purpose. It was located very close to the main Sherry Street area in the city centre. I was on Facebook talking to this guy who had a huge 11 inch dick that was so thick for weeks. He was 39 year olds handsome in a rough and ready way. A muscly smooth bear. We were talking for weeks on Facebook and he really wanted to fuck me. He was the first guy I invited to my apartment. We got drunk together and smoked Hashish. We had amazing sex for an hour. He had great stamina and fucked me really hard the way I like it. He said he really enjoyed it but was kind of disappointed his huge thick dick just slid in my hole. I'm not only experienced with huge dicks but when I'm drunk and high my anal muscles relax and I can really take a good hammering. He said I must have a lot of sex because of how easily I took his huge dick and started questioning my sexual history. I told him I was HIV negative on prep and pep, which he had never heard of. I showed him my STI results on my phone that I had taken a few days before I traveled to Egypt that were all negative and clear as well as my Mpox, hepatitis b vaccines. He relaxed after that and started kissing me all over before fucking me for a second round for another 30 minutes. He was so rough but I loved it. I think he was disappointed I was not crying and not in pain which is what he is used to and the fact that I could take it all in without screaming. I was not making too much noise because I didn't want the neighbours to hear. After he cummed a second time he asked how I was able to take his big dick so easily. I told him I have a married Iranian regular back home who fucks me once a week who has the same size dick as him. I think I hurt his ego a bit with my frank honesty. Bear in mind we are really drunk and high lol. I made sure he was the first guy I met as he was going to visit his wife and 3 kids in Cairo the next day and he wasnt coming back until the end of my trip. I did meet him up again on the day before I left. I didn't have the apartment at the time and he really wanted to fuck me so he invited me to his apartment he shared with an older and uglier friend who was straight. The friend was leaving the apartment as I arrived. We smoked Hashish together but he was really worried his friend would come back while we were fucking. He told me to just suck him but he was so horny he fucked me really rough anyway but only last less than 10 minutes because he was so worried his roommate would walk in on us. I was disappointed we could go on longer like the first time but understood he was really panicking about his friend. So the first night I invited this huge dick guy to my apartment I went out drunk to the main sherry street area after he had left. I sat on a bench on the street near the Mcdonalds and an absolutely gorgeous 24 year old sat next to me. We started chatting. I told him I was drunk. I could tell he was high off his head. We started chatting about all the different drugs we had tried. He told me he was a travel guide and does massages in his apartment. He told me he could get me any drugs I wanted. He told me his life revolved around this absolutely beautiful little dog he had and his sister who lived in Cairo near his parents. He told me he was broke and didn't have a penny after paying his rent and didn't even money for his dog's food. There were red flags all over him but I was too drunk and high to care because he was so gorgeous. I asked him if he would come back with me to my apartment and he said yes but he was hungry. We grabbed a coca cola, fries and shawarmas on the way back to my apartment. We ate and chatted away for a couple of hours during which time I had agreed to buy drugs of him, get a massage and sex from him tomorrow for a price. He didn't try anything sexual with me at all while in the apartment that kind of put me off him because I like my guys to be extra super horny. We had a great conversation and hugged before he left. I gave him 400 EGP for his dog's food. He acted funny while I went for a piss and felt he went through the kitchen cupboards while I was in the bathroom. I decided I couldn't trust him and the next day when he texted me I told him I had to cancel our plans because I traveling to another city. I never saw him again because I felt there were too many red flags and couldn't trust him even though he was absolutely gorgeous. To be continued...

at least he's never lonely

First of all, thank you for writing the trip report! I havent finished reading yet but just need to reply on this. I usually pay less than 500 baht taking taxi from bkk airport, even less if its from DMK. At late night, many taxi want a flat rate of 500 or 600 if its a big van type taxi that can fit more luggage and pax. Compare that to what you pay for grab, seems like u pay more. Anyway, just wanted to point out the comparison. I understand you also wanted to use CC, so grab maybe more convenient. I used bolt as well, most of the time, its cheaper than grab. Ok back to reading your report lol

Thanks to everyone for the moral support, suggestions and good advice. Really appreciate it!!!

Jimmie, Welcome to the world. Most of us on this site have experienced similar emotions and faced similar disappointments. I have known one guy in Pattaya for 15 years (gulp) and of course he became a kind of friend. Yes he does have a good heart and is very kind. But I never could tell when his "emergencies" were real or imagined. It's an awful feeling not knowing if you are being played or whether there is true need. On some occasions I admit that I succumbed and sent off the money (without any expectations of repayment). On other occasions I stood firm and gave him the usual "sorry I don't have any extra money this month". Finally the drama got to be just too much, and the last time I was in Thailand, I told him I thought we should go our separate ways -- that I would always consider him a friend and will always have affection for him, but that I was his friend not his ATM. Bottom line: Human emotions are not completely rational and I will always have a soft spot in my heart for him.

Not going to write much right now.... Went to eat tonight with @BjornAgain and another friend and ended up with a wander (if I'm using that phrase correctly) and I offed someone from Dreamboys, because Xboys was just stupid at 800 thb for an off and the guys asking 3k... The Dreamboys guy was AMAZING (for Thailand) for 2k, more than I'd normally spend, but we stayed together about 3-4 hours and he ticked all the boxes and I'd see him again...Dreamboys was FULL with customers sitting with guys...quite a few hot guys, and you know I'm sarcastic 😝 Boystown does have better tops than Jomtien.... prove me wrong, lol

I changed plans and booked a 90 minute massage with 15M massage in Saphan Kwai through Line with Taro. Hopefully it’s worthwhile. I will specify no penetration when it gets to that point because this is an H place from what i understand. I wanted to be adventurous so i took a Grab motorcycle ride for 20 minutes. That’s exhilarating! I won’t be doing that again. I was grabbing the rear handles for dear life. I kept imagining the ways i could crack my skull in this traffic. With about a minute left to go another driver at a red light said something to my driver and he promptly gave me a helmet. Maybe he saw the police around or something. I would have appreciated that dingy thing at the outset!

I prefer to embrace the natural organic materials of the world, while my bathroom faucet may not be made of gold, my shower is definitely golden.

For those following the soap opera, he is not the guy!

It depends which personality he is using.

The problem is Balcony and Telephone/Circus are snooze fests. Botoxed guys posing and staring, ex-bar boys clinging to faded hiso fantasies and hoping to score one last big fish, everyone glued to their phones. Smoky, cramped, and full of queeny farang couples horrified at the idea of an Asian guy approaching them saying hello. I would take a gogo or host bar ahead of them any day, even if i am being badgered for drinks!

I am very chatty friendly and confident when I am drunk. If they playing Koran in the car or appear religious in any way I don't try anything. I go for younger guys who I know will be super horny and most likely single. I ask if they are married or have a girlfriend. I ask if they are alone in the city. If I know they are alone single and their body language is open and relaxed then I move on too more sexual questions. I ask if they fuck women in town or they know a place I can go to find sex. If they are comfortable and open with the sexual questions I then ask if I can suck their banana. Every time led on to full on sex. As I said only one of the 8 or so guys I asked said no. It was a bit awkward with him but I apologised and told him I was drunk and gave him a good tip of 150 EGP when I got off at my hotel. Of course there is risk it can go horribly so I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a very confident and experienced traveler in the Middle East. Please be careful guys and don't blame me if something goes wrong.

Probably in the minority here, but I don't think you were rude. Based upon his reaction, and a little on the photos that have been shared, he strikes me as a prissy prima donna. Again, just personal opinion. He certainly is a cutie, and wouldn't kick him out of my bed for sure. Over the years, I have been asked by non-native English speakers to tutor them in English, often after being introduced at some social function. Never bothered me, nor did I consider it rude. I think part of the issue is what has been discussed here before...the lack of communication and interpersonal skills of the techie generation. They simply do not know how to conduct themselves in a social setting.

Or "who are the hors d'oeuvres".

Day ??? - Update Good morning. Am just running out of steam and have decided to finish the trip report once I return to Denver the end of this week. Really just physically exhausted, and emotionally drained. Been in a funk the last couple of days with lots of mixed emotions and some disappointment as well. Two days ago, during one of our daily exchange of messages, Bee mentioned he was going to be short on his rent for November. I know, I know…everyone else probably saw this coming. Initially I had expected some sort of plea for financial assistance, but it never came, so I guess I was overly optimistic that there might be more to this. Anyway, I asked how much he needed and he said 5000 Baht. I agreed to deposit the money into his bank account so that he could pay his rent. Didn’t mind, really, and just being me…even added an extra 5000 to the deposit. So, all total was 10,000 Baht. Keep in mind he had only asked for 5000, so being overly generous is totally on me. Then yesterday, a message about how low his salary is at the bank and how many financial obligations he has, plus the need to support his parents, etc. - you get the general idea by now. His remedy to the dire financial situation is that I could send him a monthly stipend of 1000 USD!!! As I said, I was half expecting this early on before getting too emotionally invested. Basically just told him I was retired, on a fixed income, and not interested in such an arrangement unless we were actually a couple living together with shared expenses. No reply yet to what would amount to a flat out refusal of his request. Will see what transpires next, but definitely not sending any more money to him, and really am very disappointed to learn it was nothing more than a game to him and all about the money. Thus…my funky mood. Meeting Woody this morning from Siam Roads, so hopefully he will be able to brighten my spirits a bit…think I will have him set me up for a massage at his shop today with some cute guy to take my mind off the negative feelings. Everyone here had warned me to be careful, so it wasn't a total shock, but still...

In a few hours I will be boarding (hopefully) my first flight in my way to Medellin. I will stay there until December 15th, when I will be returning to Argentina to my family and Ancient friends. I will be staying in a complex in Ciudad del Rio, when I booked I had not researched the hood, I just liked it because it was one block away from the MOM and it was an area I enjoyed in a previous visit. Recently, I learned that is a just developed new fancy neighborhood with lots of new upscale residencies, bars, coffee shops and restaurants. The area was cute when I walked through it a few years ago, but it was yet not as developed as I learned it is now. It is very close to El Poblado, some reports frame ir as "the gate" to Provenza and El Poblado. In my previous visit I stayed in less gentrified areas in Laureles, so I am very curious although I am certain I will miss the more authentic local experience provided by Laureles up to a few years ago. If you have any suggestions about events or places to visit these next 40 days, please feel free to share in this thread. Just remember that I am not in a frenzy short trip trying to fuck every Colombian hottie available, but instead I am slow traveling on a very low budget, as my condo in DC is still in the market. As usual, I will do my best to report my (mis)adventures.

It seems most people in America, and many around the world spent 2025 dealing with the CRAZY that is Trump. At least for ME, it has been pretty "consuming" and saddening. How an imbecilic, Orange buffoon caricature can destroy the greatest country in the world, America in less than a year is pretty mindblowing and astounding..... More astounding is that the American people ALLOWED, and made it happen...... When Trump is in your face EVERY day of every week, everywhere you look, its pretty difficult to be engaged in anything else, even if you wanted to. Or maybe I just have TDS ? 🤔.

did you tell him you'd been spreading your legs.... with better results 😉

No problem at those hotels.... the problem is their location, better to stay in the Silom/Suriwong area.

If you have a better option than the Grab moped, I would use it. But I have found in Bali and Bangkok, it can be the best option. I ask for the helmet. I hold the back hand grip with my right hand and put my left hand on the driver’s left shoulder. I lean forward looking over the driver’s right shoulder. I haven’t had anyone object. Never have your weight leaning backwards

this occurrence is well known to science. On subsequent meeting both sides are familiar with each other and no time needs to be wasted on sizing other party

It's really hard to rate. Just imagine: night, the desert, the mystical atmosphere of Egypt. You're speeding down the highway, jerking off the driver's cock, sometimes leaning over and licking the head. This turned me on even more than the sex itself. Then we stop at a huge billboard, hide behind it, undress, and he starts sucking my nipples furiously and biting them hard. We are naked in the desert, with cars speeding right next to us. We kiss a lot, hug, then I kneel and give him a blowjob. And then, as is typical of Egyptians, a couple of minutes, and he cums. After that, he says that taking me back to the hotel is an additional fee, $20. We start arguing fiercely; I'm willing to walk, but in the end, we agree on $1. We drive back, he puts his hand down my shorts and starts jerking me off. As we pull up to my hotel, I cum and get out of the taxi with a big stain on my shorts. That's what it's like, a real crazy Egypt.

No idea where you can meet them but broadly speaking, if they're financially independent, they'll be looking for younger Thai guys in their twenties. A friend of mine, 45, who's American partner passed away of old age three months ago and left him a significant amount of money, has found himself a sweet young thang of 21 from Isaan and is supporting him. I've seen this time and time again and sometimes they don't even wait for their farang partners to die! So you might be in luck if you're a SYT yourself! Incidentally, I noticed you posed a similar question in November last year. Is this a yearly ritual?

@spoon You're very welcome! Yes I'm under the impression that Bolt is cheaper than Grab so I may try that at some point. I really just wanted to avoid talking to the taxi driver about running the meter and saying "tourist police" as a threat. Grab was fine for me this time even if it was a few hundred baht more. On a completely unrelated note, I plan to be back to Thailand in late March with one of my best friends. He's a handsome straight guy in his early thirties and he'll definitely be partaking in all that Bangkok has to offer although he'll be focused on the ladies while I do my thing. So this little micro trip is partially to scout things out for my next trip with him. He's half Vietnamese and wants to spend one week in Thailand and one week in Vietnam. He's never been to either country and he really wants to have sex with hot ladies and primarily to explore Vietnam to better get to know that side of his heritage. He knows I like to take fun x-rated trips so he invited me to go with him. Went to Europe and Japan with him this year already and he partook in the sex trade both times. I think out of the restaurant suggestions I'll be heading to G's Bangkok. I have German family and I am excited to try some Thai-German fusion before the gogo bars tonight.

Even if there is a rotation system at massage shop, you can try requesting for specific masseur. Smile while speaking to manager!

Yes, except for the part about the guilt and shame adding up. Since he's a sociopath, I doubt he feels any guilt or shame. 😉It took a long time, but I think the swing voters are finally realizing that they elected a lifelong con-man: a smooth-talker who lies with every breath.

This is a very good point, V. Perhaps we underestimate just how cutthroat it can be. Never forget that we, after all, are dealing often with the Thai bar mafia. Besides the mafia influence itself, it is corrupted police who keep these places alive and can close them in an instant if they don't get their "tea money". Like V, I prefer to support the working boys instead.

Good and constructive post. If someone is being open in telling his story, he can probably do without "I told you so" and ridicule. I think that many of us learned the hard way, even after being warned. It's like a ride off passage...or a coming of age if you will. Mine was relatively cheap. I gave the boy 10k baht so he could go home after our visit together to Bangkok. After I gave him the money he went straight on a bus back to Pattaya. I guess that was his new home Live and learn for us all.

First of all, thank you for your honest post and sharing your story. It's always interesting and nice to hear the follow-up to a story, even though it's obviously not as rosy as we all hoped for you. But as you yourself said: if we were realistic, we would all have assumed that sooner or later the request for financial support would come... And I can completely understand that because that request for help initially seemed to materialize, you might have had some hope that things would be different with him than in most cases... It's good that you realize you shouldn't keep transferring money. Because then you'll likely continue to receive a never-ending stream of requests for money. Keep your wits about you and don't let your emotions get the better of you and tempt you to make another payment. Woody is a really nice guy, so I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of your journey. I look forward to your future updates.

Good to see @macaroni21 is blogging again about Thailand/Bangkok. Also liked his updates in this post: https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/2025/11/03/just-six-months-and-so-many-changes/

It was probably just that he didn;t go into that Soi. He said about the map that: Please understand that I am primarily making this map to support the blog articles here, showing where the mentioned places are. I am not trying to create an exhaustive map of all places of interest for any and all gay men out there (I don’t have the time). I also adopt the principle that if I have not visited a place, or at least seen the front of it, I won’t include it – it’s my way of verification.
