unfortunately reduced alcohol level comes with reduced taste as Lite feels definitely more watery

that exactly was my impression when I visited about month ago.

have fun !

yet

in Brasil, it can't be ! Ask floridarob

We must to sign a protocol of disagreement on first part. ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS and underlined. Not saying you are wrong, just hope somebody will think things over before taking this advice. It may depend heavily on what country one is from or kind of bank account one has. Or perhaps both . reasons: -Paying by debit and credit cards may be of very limited use , specially outside of Phnom Penh and may be Siem Reap. Or may trigger up to 10% surcharge ( case of Japanese restaurant I went with 2 boys with in PP, of course I paid cash ) -Using card to withdraw cash may trigger fee on Cambodian side (not sure, but for sure in Thailand , 250 baht if I recall ) and definitely on my domestic side (5$). Do it 5 times and 5 becomes 25 $ . ChristianPFC reported to have boys for 1/2 of that sum. -If one forgets to report to bank that is travelling or bank messes it up (happened to me, not in SE Asia ) relying on cards may bring surprise of card being blocked. -taking cash from credit card , either at branch or ATM , will be treated as cash advance with high interest rates and possibly foreign conversion or similar charges ............... it must be my poor way of writing which created " fretting " impression. My intention was to boast how well I prepared by budget that at end of stay I left with no leftover money. Of course I wouldn't worry if I had riels left over , not only because I could spend them next time but also I could give / pay with them , depending on amount , to Cambodian guys in Bangkok or Pattaya. As I exchange 50 or 100 $ at the time it wouldn't be much left in any case Not to mention leftover riels can be deposited in Red Cross box in the airport

good to know , way I deal with change issues in Cambodia is what you quoted from me - I exchange 50 $ or 100$ for riels and ask them to give me money in blend of 5000 and 20000 notes

love , isn't it a beautiful thing ?

+1 glad we agreed here

relax , you will grow up one day

very, very smart way of doing things. Picking up those type of battles early in the stage of relationship may ruin whole thing and fast. After dozen years , when things settle, then either party may try to save the world own way

your loss , my gain ☺️

No. Trousers with wallet were hanging in my closed all that time. For trip I used different , lightweight , trousers I only use when I travel.

I see D2 - Sun massage thread disappeared. Censor scissors or computer glitch ?. Enquiring minds want to know

that's technology for you

yes all the same as used car salesmen with all that ' lady driven to church only ' or ' previous owner was crying when was selling that car"

interesting concept even if not really supported by anything other than usual scapegoating of perceived foreigners. Reminds me discussion I had in USSR when I pointed to my interlocutor that during Stalin times Russians killed so much of their own people. Answer was ' it were Georgians who killed us, Stalin and Beria were Georgians "

I have every reason to, I think I still would recognize his voice such impression he made on me . As for word, English is not my first tongue so it may be unfortunate indeed. being Money Boy was not his chosen profession, he told me that specifically. He just wanted to cash on his good looks to earn some cash. I agree , death from drugs overdose could happen not because one was an addict but because he tried it for first time and body rejection was violent. I kind of know hat it means, guy who was sitting with my sister in class got drunk first time in his life. That was also his last at the same time,

I'm surprised you remember , I already forgot. Last time I tried it was when boy ordered it so I just followed his lead , again , too spicy.

Summary Again thanks to 18past 19 for an inspiration to travel. And to Jason 1975 for coming for weekend to see me ( and his guy ) .I set off thinking about seeing old friends and catching with parts of Cambodia I never went to before. Boys were my thought but this time , only 2 month after last trip, not primary one. My mood was, no hunting , no sweat, what happens in this department , happens. It worked better than expected. Few times when they really could to better neither disappointed nor upset me but yes , I need to revise my hiring practices before next trip ( likely in 2032 , possibly sooner). Big Five – Midnight waiter , BOI from Jupiter, Tan from Jey Spa, D from Dreamboys and guy I offed from Goodboys upon returning from Cambodia were highlights, each earning their money way all should - giving customer whatever makes him happy. No antics , no BS and no complacency.

Next day For church one needs to dress up so I did. Upon returning , as I have habit I emptied my pockets, what is in the right pocket – usually keys and transit card goes to right side of desk and what is in the left pocket wallet and money ( all my long life I carry money lose , not in the wallet ) goes to the left side of desk. While doing that I realized what I’m holding – yes, wallet I lost hours before my departure. How it happened? I recall checking pockets of my trousers hanging on the hanger and nothing was there. Mystery , mother of all mysteries. Likely deep pockets are to be blamed and one of them burdened with wallet in was hanging below line of my patting. I was not in panic then but time was limited and I wanted to deal with cancellations first, hence slacking on patting Great relief , cards were cancelled but there were documents – driving licence and insurance cards I was spared inconvenience of asking for replacement of and most important – laminated small last picture of my parents together. Best part was to realize that after all , no I did not left my wallet on the counter in the pharmacy.

Day 19 BOI declined breakfast option, I messaged reader I will be at Foodland at 9 and he showed up there for our last talk this trip. Returned to the room, picked up my luggage , paid 80 baht for beer we drank last night, collected my 1000 baht deposit and walked to Sala Daeng station. Train to the airport was surprisingly very empty for no particular reason , it looked as first or last train not middle of the day one . Airport was breeze, including automated gates and soon I was on my way to Taipei luxuriating in whole 3 seats for myself ( yes floridarob , it was row 63 ). Connection was reasonable 2 hours and on my long flight home I got widow seat in the last row of 777 and seat beside me was unoccupied so I could utilize that last sleepless night to catch sleep aboard. I had 2 books to read prepared but managed to finish only half of thinner one. Arriving in late evening is good to fight jet lag if any as one can go to bed at ‘normal’ time . At home in my mail box among other stuff I found a note that tomorrow morning there’s funeral mass for a neighbour who died in meantime.

As I commented recently to similar post by mauRICE - they made it there already and younger guys only have a chance to get there as sad case of deceased Dreamboy guy announced yesterday by florodarob in one of his posts attests. neither soi 4 not Jomtien Complex are my favorite surveying grounds by the way and it has little with seniors

81.37% ?

Day 18 , last full Breakfast at Zing is very good value, for 200 baht we have selection of Asian and western offerings, fruits ,yoghurt, eggs made to the order, soup and dim sum style buns and other goodies . Tea is Dilmah, not some cheap stuff from dollar store. I checked out at 10.30 and at 11 am bus started rolling toward Swampy. In reverse of yesterday situation, rain started as soon as we pulled from the bay. What a luck again. It looks that rain was sticking to the sea as highway was mostly dry and in 1 hr 50 minutes we were back in civilisation. Since I had room already checking in was not my concern but what I noticed , cleaning lady was too smart. Upon seeing nobody slept last night she did not replenish tea and water even if yesterday I left her double tip. Not that I missed either but rules are rules, whether I used bottle or not , there was always two new bottles placed. So cruelly I decided not to leave tip tomorrow morning ( in hotels I tip maids daily , as it goes ) . At 2.30 meeting with reader at Foodland, we spent good 2 hours talking. BT from Goodboys is messaging me daily with his ‘I miss you, when I can see you “ messages so I sent him message from Foodland that I will be in my room from 5 pm the latest but that was not read until after 6 and he did not show up until 8. I like him and when he is here he is not a time waster but I could use more of his company , specially after all that ‘ I miss you “ waxing. After about 1 hr he went to work , but not before requesting “ I want to sleep with you tonight “ , unfortunately I had other plans for my last night. Waiting for BT I asked BOI from Jupiter about LT tonight , he agreed immediately and commented “ why I must be always on your last night?” ( always means in Aug he was my last guy indeed ) but , always diplomat I responded “ crown is always placed last “ . He liked it a lot, not that I exaggerated. Our 1st meeting few trips ago was so, so but after that each subsequent is better and better – I’m not giving that easy on guys I kind of like. I told him I will pick him up from the bar after show and went there at 10.30 entering exactly when walkabout started. Similarly like 2 days ago I tipped 3 guys (not the same three ) and two returned smile during next walk. After show BOI suggested we go to 7/11 to buy something to eat likely sensing that at end of trip I may be low on cash , I had about 1000 still left but 7/11 it was and stuff we bought was quite tasty. Not sure it’s good idea to have such a hunk on my last night as before long trip I could use some sleep but damage was done. I had only a hope that sleepless nigh means better sleep on the flight and was happy to learn I was not wrong. We really hit it on, I think he appreciated repeat business and I cherished his personality , patience and first and foremost massive body , as close to what I like as possible. I mentioned crown and it was indeed proper crowning of very rewarding trip.
