vinapu

best way is to be prepared with exact change and I try to do that all times . I don't like those half-dirty tricks bars are playing

Part 2 Flying to Phnom Penh I was praying that I get room on different floor than my niece as we were staying in the same, Okay Boutique Hotel. I couldn’t imagine not visiting Space bar when there and since I got lucky there in the past I thought it’s better to be prepared just in case. There’s that saying that girls have special kind of intuition and before we made Phnom Penh bookings she suggested instead of booking 6 nights we should book 3 and 3. Why ? In case of cancellation . WTF thought I but went along and glad I did. When we finally met in hotel she told me she made mistake of starting Cambodia sightseeing with trip to Killing Fields and it moved her a lot. I was not surprised as I recalled my own reaction when I was there first time back in 2001. Truth emerged that while for me Cambodia is one of my most favorite countries, for her is not much fun to be there and can we please go to Thailand after tomorrow instead of at end of week. Now 3+3 instead of 6 made sense as we could cancel reservation for second batch of ‘3’. Isn’t is fun to travel with niece ? Then another revelation came - her friends invited her for weekend in Sattahip and Guardian Angel passing by enlightened me to suggest her they will pick her up from Pattaya so she may have unplanned chance of seeing that world class , family friendly resort. Surprisingly she liked an idea so we made flight rebooking and reserved rooms in Zing hotel which is not only my favorite there recently but also has very safe location half way between Jomtien and Boyztown. On top of it has two wings, south and north and uncle i. e. me skilfully steered her to book her room in different wing then me, just in case. As for security in Phnom Penh, hotel did good job giving me room few floors lower then hers and facing opposite side of center so sneaking to Space bar all the sudden become viable option . Rest of day we spent sightseeing, went to Royal Palace and National Museum , next day Central and Russian markets , few temples as well as evening cruise on Mekong which finished exactly when deluge started so we had excellent introduction to rainy season coming to hotel completely wet. Sneaking to Space Bar proved easy as by 10 pm. she was in her room if not in her bed and uncle could easily make a short tuk-tuk trip there. As it was mid week bar was not that busy so I could get attention of resident hunks, drinks aplenty on me and working diligently to land somebody to give me a ride to my hotel but I haste to say, it did not work as intended. But I had tons of fun as boys are playful but not obnoxious and requests for more drinks or God forbid , tips, are not existent there . In short , fun, no pressure. As for companionship I think I get how they operate, guys are playful and skilfully creating some hope so one stays and buys more drinks, they when is time to close , all of the sudden some excuse is invented, catching early bus to provinces on 1st night, starting shift at work at 6 am on 2nd night . But it’s all done in funny way without any hint of sleaze or malice and I must say I liked it even if I did not score.

Part 1. I can sense everybody reading the tittle of report must be thinking ‘ poor vinapu travelling with some rebellious teenager, did he lost his mind?” In fact , not so. My niece is approaching 40, is well established professional working for multinational and most important- we like each other. So even if that trip would be without chance to see any boy up close ., most likely I would like it anyways. Before we set off we reminded ourselves old rule I learned in my university years when I was travelling with friends : “ we are travelling together but each one of us is on his/ hers own vacations”. First signal that she intends to apply that principle was her choice of hotels. Knowing Bangkok has very good value on those she opted for some luxurious digs there, clearly knowing they are beyond my pay range. I got the message as meaning of that was clear – we need our own personal space and I liked it so I opted for cheaper options nearby. My hopes for some fun went up when she told me she knows some people in Bangkok through her work and they promised her to show sights. When she chose Conrad, I found much , much cheaper Quart Ruamrudee in soi Ruam Rudee nearby. After she moved to Centre Point by Saphan Taksin I found new hotel named Hotei Park Silom-Suriwong and then , bravely to Raya. More about new hotel later , I may even create devoted thread as it’s very new and unknown to most of us. We were supposed to meet in Bangkok as she lives in different country than me, after few days go to Cambodia for a week and then return to Bangkok for few days in my case and even few more in hers. That plan was ruined just before departure as my Wednesday flight was cancelled and they couldn’t place me on another flight until Sunday, Quite a delay. So when I landed in Bangkok on Monday evening she was already in Phnom Penh since morning sticking to original schedule. No harm done. Good thing about travelling in low season is that it’s very easy to find accommodation , even on very short notice I managed easily to re-book my Monday morning flight to day later and that way my 40Th trip to Thailand become shortest one ever. Landing at 22.00 and leaving country for Cambodia at 11.30 am next morning , total 13.50 hrs on Thai soil. Arrival was very pleasant affair as senior lane was empty so I was stamped in perhaps 40 seconds. Because of nature of this trip -having girl companion meant I couldn’t plan any boy meetings and decided to play by ear from thee start and see what can be done. It turned out perfectly well as my girl turned out not to be too nosy and also inclined to retire to her room reasonably early so usually around 9-9.30 pm I was free to pursue my own goals. In June as some may recall from my report I met Dreamboy boy who turned out to be one I was stalking on Grindr for some time. We hit it on then and since I had his Line on the train from airport I took chance and messaged him “if you in Bangkok can I see you tonight? “. Response was immediate and enthusiastic ‘yes’. He asked me to pick him up from the bar, easy task as when my flight was cancelled and I realized I will be free man on my first and only night I cancelled original booking in Quart and booked one night in Raya. So about two hours after landing I went to pick up my guy and fun started, We hit it on in Jun and this time we hit it in even more so I made silent decision that I will settle on only one – THAT ! boy this trip. Wisely I kept it to myself as another opportunity opened later. At 7.30 am he asked to go home which considering I had flight to catch in 4 hrs worked well. This was our modus operandi this trip – meet at midnight and part ways at 7.30. My boy is very disciplined and sticks to dietary and exercise regime and this worked well considering nature of this trip.

some people have all luck in life

you should make some discreet and semi-neutral move like touching his leg or knee to signalize that you are not entirely just for massage only

on my last visit I went to every bar at least once and in every one of them Asians were majority of customers I registered only one exception - when for several minutes at Atlas I was only one customer - Farang 1 - Asians 0

was it Nam ? asking because I did not see him at Moonlight on my last night and previous visit week before

guy behind the counter may not know to whom he is preparing change

they will love at Foodland when you pay with them for breakfast next morning

I don't like that practice of giving change with plenty of 10 baht coins and Freshboys is only bar doing that regularly hoping, as we see above, not without merit , that all coins will be left behind. Not with me, on my last visit it was the same , ten 10 baht notes in change and I laboriously collected and pocketed all of them placing 20 baht note instead as a tip. I think it's not fair to boys on the stage when waiter it tipped the same 100 baht for just bringing the drink they are tipped for presenting their enlarged members on the stage. Havre fun and don't worry about thin walls at 56 Surawong

certainly whoever will have a go at that repair will have a lot of fun combing through your photos. Sorry to miss you too but I must be home on Sept 9 so couldn't stay longer.

so was Trump when he had The Apprentice

take a heart ! On my last visit most boys I observed siting with customers in various bars were sitting with Asians , not farangs. And quite a few offs by Asian could be seen as well

ask them , not here

you don't get sick because , as Keith above noticed rain is warm . Just make sure you AC in not set too low easy to avoid offing long time , go for short time instead

New but not entirely. I'm pretty sure it was there in January and for sure in Jun. It was indeed v guy from violin number who smiled at me broadly and repeated on next walkabout. This is what 100 baht tips triggers I suppose . I share your sentiment about Jupiter but as soon as you have them sitting with you , all of the sudden it's all smiles in most cases. I also noticed that while it's nice to get attention after it will become too nagging it's very refreshing to go to Jupiter where one is mostly left undisturbed. On my last trip I liked bar the most and it's why I visited 3 times

looks like we are both believers but just of different denomination

don't exaggerate, only a bit of heavy rain at times, totally manageable with umbrella

not for me so far, last trip which from I just returned home today started like that : landing at 9.45 pm, messaging suitable companion from ARL train so come to see me in hotel at 12.30 am to which he responded , p[ick me up from bar if you can so I did at precisely midnight . And mind you I'm not flying to Bangkok 2 or even only 12 hours and as for age , enough to say I remember of Gagarin flight to the space. I haste to add that next morning at 11.30 I was already boarding flight to Phnom Penh. But if somebody likes just to go to bed and having good night sleep It his choice I have nothing against. Youngsters these days are so weak, sigh

Already reviewed but as it happened I paid subsequent visits to Jupiter ( twice in row) and Moonlight. Moonlight seems to be struggling and it may continue until they will start showing some cock. 10 customers at best, easily outnumbered by number of staff. 7 floor boys but with exception of one, all presenting themselves on the stage in top tanks and long trousers. It looks good but makes for poor marketing. How one can off the boy without seeing his knee? On my last night I was split between Monlight and Jupiter, opted for Moonlight but after half an hour inside decided to go to Jupiter and I had my reason based on my visit there night before. I never liked Jupiter, mainly because boys disinterrsted look, even if mandated by bar policy but now it's on fast track to become my most favorite bar. As I said before on the subject, I never thought I will live that long to see it happen. So what happened the night before? I went in at 9.30. Clearly too early as for next 30 minutes I was sole and only customer. Still singer on duty was singing and 15 minutes later boys did their walkabout the same way they do when bar is full. That was endearing indeed. Since I was only customer it was funny to see their reaction while passing me by. From trademark disinterested look through as I was just the air to some smiles from shy to broad and one even bothered to say hi, another shook my hand and one gahe me even kind of hug. It all this in bar where I'm kind of anonymous with only one boy I had history with. So I was kind of thrilled and happy with such reception. Around 10 stared filling in but still to no more than perhoas dozen patrons. May be more came for the show but I left at 11 due to business circumstances. So next night picked up where I left day before and come at about 11.00. Not crowded. I counted 14 spectators including the myself. One of boys tipped last night recognized me with smile and "we together" gesture. Show was kind of shortened but still had 5 or 6 numbers including one viloing playing with abundant sightings of engorged cock of in house Paganini. Had one guy sitting with me, it turned out that we already met in some massage place but was loyal enough to inform him I'm not booking him because I have flight to catch. He was pleased with his tip. Suggested I buy him 2nd drink but I only look stupid, if I had money to burn I 'd rather tuck it in his undies. It looks for future I will have mission there. One of their boys reminds me my classmate from my school days, he is there for a while but only now I noticed how indeed look alike he is. Perhaps in I future need to look deeper into his eyes. For now I tipped him with was acknowledged from the stage but not as much with smile as with grimace of " fuck off you old troll and forget about putting your hands on me". So I have a goal of converting that grimace to enthusiastic smile, hug and whisper " I go with you?" As I'm sitting in Swampy no more updates from Patpong this trip. Will report on it but it will be brief as it was of bit different kind than other so far.

Bar visits continued: Atlas Two visits, midweek and Saturday. Almost identical. 6-7 boys on the stage, still outnumbering count of customers in audience. And all that while most boys are quite good looking, certainly beating Than Tawan in looks department. No idea why such dearth of customers, lack of marketing and media presence perhaps. Veteran Nop aparently left the scene I was told by one of boys. One new specimen VERY interesting but I did not get around to offing him. Like Hot Male bar seems not to be achieving it's potential and I have no idea what is not working as for me they have all points gathered in. But what do I know? Sigh Than Tawan Biggest surprise of this trip. On night of my visit boys on offer I'd classify as between unattractive and very unattractive and I try to be charitable, yet still bar was full to capacity, not that considering it's size it's hard to achieve but still packed it was like in its best days of previous incarnation. What most important clients seemed to stay and drink. I was only farang in audience. Glad to see them thriving and hope offering will improve next visit. One of my forum friends suggested that it may be grand central for chubby chasers. Certainly shows power of brand.

Guy above by the way is still on Jupiter roster, I saw him there last night

Somehow almost identical location doesn't seem to hurt Freshboys much

Bar reviews continued Hot Male At 10pm I was only customer, few more come later the left and I was, alone again. Did not wait for the show as I had other commitments. This puzzles me to a great degree why so deprived of custom. For me boys are better looking that those at Freshboys and Goodboys but I must be serious minotity I guess. Not only good looking but playfull and acting funnily. On top of that most of them prezent themselves barechested in shorts. At least 4 could off on the spot which actually was suggested by one of guys I offed in the past. No idea what they are doing wrong that creates, such undeserved shortage of customers. Dreamboys Visited twice, week apart for relatively shot period. Drink 500, boy drink 400, off fee 550. On 1st visit well patronized, on 2nd visit packed and this, despite of pouring rain for good 3 hours. There were some empty seats but not too many. Boys of all types, from sweet and young to old but still aftoat. Rotation on the scene is very fast which I like because it keeps boys moving. Several offable but #5 Cambodian and another one Vu Thy not present because of political situation. Never really liked that bar but now I'm changing my mind very fast. Speaking about the weather, while 1st week was surprisingly nice, this week is raining daily and generously. Some venues, credit rain for their lack of patronage but they better look somewhere else as, quite a few bars, are doing well. As I said Dreamboys and, shock of shocks, Tawan were packed at times of my visit.

Boy was, very willing to do something which I sternly said "no" and this kind of derailed him
