Back in Thailand from Cambodia, October 2022 trip report
vinapu replied to vinapu's topic in Gay Thailand
St 3000 , I don't remember now if that was what he wanted or I paid him extra being so nicely surprised with his performance. My friend who offed more of their boys says that with few exceptions of most popular guys like Boom their rate is regular 2000 contrary to legend of them being expensive , I have no reason to doubt what he is saying. for overnight he quoted 5000 to which I, again being so excited, agreed but luckily for my wallet he found some excuse and changed his mind. -
Back in Thailand from Cambodia, October 2022 trip report
vinapu replied to vinapu's topic in Gay Thailand
I never thought I will live long enough to second such statement but I do now. I visited Jupiter every trip but never with hope I will find somebody too off from there other than Oud and Mekhin both transplants from Tawan now gone from the scene. But post-covid I got lucky streak, in Dec my first off was from there, so-so but definitely not waste of money and also my last night was spent with their guy, offed because he smiled at me !!! In May I offed HC featuring in this trip shortly as well and while initially I was bit disappointed upon reflection I realized I was stupid in my expectancies, one sided love and stuff , LOL My friend who was staying with me in the same Raya claimed that this trip Jupiter was his best bar and he is fond exactly of the same types and often the same boys I'm. My off this time was very good as I said, guy not only good looking but also very enthusiastic. I almost had repeat on one of following nights when I saw him on the street past bar closing time but unfortunately he was heading for an appointment. -
in May, on the last night and following day of my trip I had very good luck with one of their dancers

hopefully you will see better displays in surrounding bars and massages, some gems can be found there

Guys and ruins, ruins and boys -trip to Cambodia in Oct 2022
vinapu replied to vinapu's topic in Gay Cambodia
or I'm not skillful enough to instigate proper action there. I know somebody who was there after me recently and his experience reflect yours. Or may be I'm just too old in their eyes, lol. No idea what doesn't work for me but your comments makes me willing to try again when I will be in SR. Anyways 168 massage provided more I could digest. by the way trip continues here: https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/38709-back-in-thailand-from-cambodia-october-2022-trip-report/ -
Day 1 This visit to Thailand was third part of my trip to SE Asia which started with very short stay in Bangkok reported here: https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/38515-shortest-trip-ever-but-still-blood-pressure-rising-report/ Followed by 10 days in Cambodia reported here: https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/38619-guys-and-ruins-ruins-and-boys-trip-to-cambodia-in-oct-2022 When leaving Cambodia early afternoon I felt I deserved some rest since I made sure I did not waste any time there , day or night, filled with sightseeing, massages , bar visits with very little sleep. Which is normal for me on vacations as I follow logic that less time is wasted on sleep, more disposable vacation time I have. Unfortunately with age I start having problem of sticking to my own rules. Plane from Siem Reap to Don Muang was almost full , luckily two out of very few free seats left were in my row , not that it mattered much in 45 minutes flight. Immigration was breeze with nobody in lines and since I travel with carry-on it was no more than 15 minutes from leaving aircraft when I was in arrival hall extending my SIM card ( 249 baht for 8 days ) and marching toward SRT Red line station. On my way I stopped in “Thai street food” stalls in corridor between station and airport and for lack of chicken with cashew nuts offering I had roasted duck with rice for 65 baht. There they still use coupon system, they same like is similar venue at Swampy. One needs to check price of desired dish and purchase proper amount in coupons or alternatively estimate it and unused portion is easily refundable. Dom Muang SRT Red line station Electric train was fast , clean and uncrowded. In Bang Sue station I switched to MRT and went all the way to San Yam station from where it was short walk to Raya. Of course I utilized that shortcut through former Soi Twilight territory ( see below). former soi Twilight seen from Raya's roof My friend and our contributor 18past19 arrived earlier today and stays in the same hotel but I did not disturb him , knowing well what jet lag is and how exciting first day in Bangkok tends to be. Just sent him Line I’m already in then I went to do some shopping and did my usual laundry. Since I travel light my usual first thing in the room, wherever I travel , is to wash my shirt and undies , in Raya they provide even drying rack which one can set on balcony and things are dried in few hours in the sun which was a case today. Then I did walk arround Patpong and Silom checking what changed in 10 days and when I felt hungry I went to soi 4 to treat myself with schnitzel at G’Bangkok . Early in the evening my friend let me know he is free so I went to his room one floor down up for news exchange and see what’s new since last time we saw each other during our respective trips in Dec 2021. We always have plenty to talk about as by God’s grace we are fond of exactly the same types which among other things means we often engage the same guys giving leads or warnings to each other. And no , we never fight over our guys. Tonight we decided to go to Jupiter. I’m big fan of how their boys looks like and how handsome they are but from my first visit in their former location where Moonlight is now I never had luck with offs from there exception being certain two transplants from Tawan. But tonight I was glad to go as I trust my friend’s guts and I wanted to check if certain Handsome Cambodian ( HC) may be there. Since my friend is on good terms with mamasan there we got quite prominent seat as well as good news from mamasan. HC, in whom both my friend and I are independently interested in meeting is not there, went to Pattaya, but mamasan will have his contact. As I said my friend is in contact with mamasan and my stay in Thailand will be longer so I decided to be in the shadows, only hoping I will be able to get a glimpse of him somehow and as they say, see what happens. First he needs to get hold of him anyways. As I said I’m not big fan of Jupiter for no less than five reasons. First I mentioned – never had good off from there. Second, I don’t like sober, smile absent, look of their boys when parading and presenting themselves as it’s hard to assess if they are interested or not, Third, I don’t like their modus operandi when boys are waiting in the shadows , presenting themselves only every half an hour or so during their walkabout or during show if they participate and then back to shadows. Fourth -A/C is usually too cold,. Fifth , music is too loud, sin shared by other bars too like Dreamboys BKK and BBB Pattaya. Tonight though was bit different. A/c was bearable and so was music, at least did not bother me perhaps because I was in better then my normal good mood, having fun meeting my friend. Boys were still in shadows but during their presentation I saw few shy smiles, not directed at me , but my friend and other patrons got few so change of mood for better. Then show which was very entertaining , quite long and with few glimpses of nudity, rare treat at Jupiter. My friend decided to off one of their specimens and noticing that I took interest in another one encouraged me to try. Trusting his judgement I sent few smiles toward the guy , handsome and very well muscled and was shocked he smiled back once and again. In such a case I become Speedy Gonzalez , asked mamasan to bring him over, treated boy with drink (400) , made sure he is willing to go with me ( I always ask “do you want to go with me?” ) and shortly , after drinks were emptied and show finished, 500 baht off fee was paid and all 4 of us were marching to Raya. Who would think it will be monumental, historical day for me ? I offed guy from Jupiter who turned out to be not only well built- normal in their offerings but also well behaved and very enthusiastic, almost more than I could handle. Yahooo , I was happy with my off from Jupiter !!!. I tried to ask him to stay till morning to which he initially agreed but then changed his mind inventing some excuse and saving me some money in process. When he left after good 2 hours I was so happy that I tried to get second servings from Grindr but that did not work, guy priced himself out of my range and was firm with that but so was I and that was reason I finished my day 1 sleeping alone but smiling.

you will have fun, rest assured. You made right decision, paying 800 baht joiner fee just to see the ocean is a racket In Agate with good luck you may have a view of pool and lush greenery behind it and no problem with visitors. In host bar have a seat, buy yourself a drink and look around. If you see guy you like , invite him over, buy him a drink and if after conversation you still interested ask him if he will go with you . Chances are he will propose first ! You pay off fee 300-500 baht depending on bar and of both ( or three) of you go. Let as know how you did as promised

looks like it and not only that, one of competitor for 'Men of Twilight: tittle was Boom, # 15 , famous hoola-hop performer from Jupiter. Good new is , at least they are trying to find their niche in the market. If that involves presence of girls, it's ok as long as they don't scream or bite.

# me too but I must say one of best and most memorable personality boys I ever met and spent time with was from @Home Bar. On thing I'd like to add to the map above is 7/11 which is located exactly where ATM is across the 'To the Beach" street from New India restaurant, street without 7/11 is like church without God.

what next, chip sewn in their buttock readable by our smartphone ? If we want to learn about them why not to buy them a drink and ask those questions while trying to caress them here and there under the table for an additional tip ?

The very last 747 jet has been made, ending a run of more than 50 years
vinapu replied to reader's topic in The Beer Bar
End of era indeed, like reader's my first arrival to Thailand was aboard 747 on Thai on long discontinued Los Angeles - Bangkok route with refueling stop in Kansai( Osaka). I also recall short 100 minutes flight aboard it from Sydney to Melbourne , last leg of London -Melbourne route if only because plane was almost empty with no more than 20 of us, economy passengers. Such idiotic waste I was explained , was owing to rules that Quantas was then ( 1991) allowed to pick up only international passengers on domestic routes in Australia. -
Guys and ruins, ruins and boys -trip to Cambodia in Oct 2022
vinapu replied to vinapu's topic in Gay Cambodia
thank you , that was exactly reason for such long post. Angkor Wat , Bayon , Banteai Srei and Ta Prohm are on every tour itinerary and for good reason but there's so much more indeed even in close proximity to Siem Reap (those mentioned above as well as Western and Eastern Mebon, Rolous group , Ta Keo, Phnom Krom in the hill overlooking Tonle Sap lake ) not to mention more distant already mentioned above as well as pre Angkoroan temple group of Sambor Prei Kuk, all reachable within 1 day trip from Siem Reap . -

you were still lucky then, 21 years ago we were climbing using other set of steps , now out of bounds (photo below), I don't even recall any ropes along to help go up or down. It really felt like an adventure then -
Guys and ruins, ruins and boys -trip to Cambodia in Oct 2022
vinapu replied to vinapu's topic in Gay Cambodia
crowds were sparse although not as sparse as one may deduct from my photos, my estimation is about 1/5 of ' normal' crowds. In Angkor Wat, no doubt most popular and most accessible temple there were corridors and galleries where there was nobody for good 10 minutes . Bottom line is best time to go is now before crowds return although area is so vast that apart from most popular (Angkor Wat, Bayon , Banteai Srei, perhaps also Ta Prohm ) temples in others crowd will be hardly overwhelming even if tourist traffic returns to normal. When I made trek on top of Angkor Thom walls only people I met on my way were few locals and only tourists I saw were on the road under Northern and Victory Gates as those are asphalted transit routes between temples. Surprisingly all 4 nights I went to Barcode bar it was crowded to capacity ! Looks people had their priorities set. -

Post-covid crowds did not arrive yet so it was quite pleasant , even at Angkor Wat there was no problem to climb to the highest accessible level , usually restricted to max 100 people. (5 years ago I was told 2 hours wait , 21 years ago nobody was counting or even watching ) post-covid morning crowd at Angkor Wat steps to highest level and view from there Nice surprise was extension of ticket’s validity, 3 day ticket at 62$ till end of 2022 is valid 5 days of consecutive 7 instead of just three. 7 day ticket costing 72 $ is extended to 10 days out of 30. Don’t lose it as tickets are being checked One inconvenience of buying ticket is that office is not located anywhere near the temples and requires detour but there’s bright spot – tickets can be bought at Banteai Srei temple. My apologies to those who think sightseeing part was too long but certainly there are members and readers here who never been to Angkor so I wanted to give than some idea what they missed. Contrary to what one may think I was not templed out when flying out of Siem Reap to Bangkok after 10 days in Cambodia , 7 of which spent at Siem Reap. I could easily spend another week there not only because there were still plenty temples to visit but also quite a few boys at 168Massage to try. Oh, well there’s always next time. Perhaps even that hunk from Space Hair bar will be willing to go with me to Siem Reap, lol -

Preah Vihar, Banteai Samre and Ta Som for me please, not that I have anything against Bayon or Angkok Wat indeed other that they are too popular and thus usually crowded. In 2016 I skipped Bayon entirely for that reason, this time is was quite empty but I was early -

I spent a lot of time in two most important -Bayon and Angor Wat and did bit hair rising walk along the walls of Angkor Thom (city with Bayon at the centre ), which is my favorite part of every Siem Reap visit. Why hair rising ? it’s always very quiet and at least three people on the way including one policeman told me ‘ be careful about the snakes “. I did not see any but made a point to watch anyways. Snakes or not , I still recommend that walk to everybody and wall is surprisingly well preserved with ruins of temple at each corner and two gates ( West and East ) very rarely visited apart from three (Victory, North and South )where tourist transit goes through. It’s flat but long as each side is about 3 km long for 12 km total so make sure to carry water , some snacks and umbrella and of course in case of snake encounter ,the will. Bayon Western Gate from inside the walls, then from outside them and how is seen from the walls themselves moat and the walls -

On our way back I visited Banteai Srei temple, smallest of Angkor temples but intricately carved and it was good idea as she is always crowded but in the afternoon , hour before closing there were only few people there . Going back we stopped in so called sugar village to purchase jar of palm sugar Banteai Srei below Rest sightseeing on other 4 days was done by tuk-tuk , Kompong Pluk village on stilts on Tonle Sap lake and numerous temples list of which is like litany : Prasat Kravan, Pre Rup, Banteai Kdei, Banteai Samre ( my favorite , always empty as it’s bit off way ) , Neak Pean , Ta Som , Preah Khan. I climbed Bakheng but did not stay for sunset, crowds were already gathering for spectacle as it’s one of most popular spots far that. Kompong Pluk on our way to Komplong Pluk , on temple grounds I noticed village crematorium which my driver cheerfully called ' oven' -

there were few people, even two ladies from Trinidad from all places but I was there mid week at end of Oct around noonish hours. No , this time I did not go to neither Koh Ker nor Bang Melea, I was there last time in 2016 on my way from Prasat Bakan (Preah Khan Kompong Svay). Koh Ker for those interested below
