no need to add drama to the story. First , If I send him 200$ without asking anything in exchange few weeks prior he knew I'm serious. Second whole idea of picking me up from airport was mine because.... Third from beginning and this is what he asked for because of work as personal trainer during day , idea was that days in PP are mine and nights are ours. Only when I suggested I want to take two day trips and can use him and his car for that instead of travel office he promised to arrange his affairs so we can go together. Fourth, I asked if he can go upstairs for an hour or so but he declined because he had some session at 7 and I knew about it beforehand so it was just courtesy on my side. Fifth, trip from airport was paid as again , I suggested that if he has time he can pick me up so I can spend money on him instead of taxi. I made many costly mistakes in this affair but that arrival arrangement was basically what we both agreed on well before I set off from Bangkok so no, I don't see my fault here

this is how I wanted it on first day so no, for me it was what was expected, drama starts at midnight's stroke so to speak

and it was only 35 $ with breakfast

I agree about the flags, first was that request to change flight. All expectations were spelled out and cleared, it's execution where whole thing failed. About dropping at hotel and leaving me there was my idea. On first day I wanted him for the night as I wanted to do some walking around and visit his former bar first.

not quite. Since he left bar on apparently not good terms with boss he was not interested to go there. On another hand I was clear that I want to go there for at least drink or two so his idea sounded very sensible in circumstances.

Few pictures of Okay Boutique hotel , my room and view from the restaurant on top floor

Day 3 , finally THE GREAT DAY V needs to go to work so we waked up at 7 and after refreshing marched to Unesco Designated for the breakfast warmly greeted by personnel there sporting knowing smile. I will see it plenty in coming days , that’s sure thing, LOL, Then V went his way and I returned to my room to pack. Since trip to PP is short , just three days, and I’m returning to Baan Silom I will leave my new suitcase with most of my goodies including two bottles of red wine for CCP there and take only what’s necessary. Before I started I fired phone up and already that early was message from my PP guy , “what time you are coming ?” , “ I will pick you up ‘ , ‘just call me when you arrive’. Thrilled I took it as we are in business, picture of his car with plate followed so all good. My heart beat increased for a while and cloud 9 seemed closer. Since my flight was at 3 pm I was in no rush to pack up. I went for a stroll to colourful market in soi 5, changed more money as we are supposed to return on Sunday. Not that I need it since money for CCP is set aside and secured but I don’t like to be left without cash on hand in any case. Checked out exactly at prescribed 12 noon, left suitcase on reception and took BTS + MRT+ SRT combination to arrive at Don Muang about 1 hr later . I had tasty roasted duck with rice lunch at coupon place in corridor leading from station to terminal. Checking in was smooth ,I had enough time to buy another bottle of red wine in duty free for 600 hoping we will open it later tonight. I send Line message to CCP I’m on my way , got ‘see you soon darling” response and at 3 pm we took off to land in PP 1.15 hr. later. I had e-visa so admission was fast , I bought SIM card for few dollars , messaged CCP I’m here, to get a picture of his car parked under the big poster outside of airport so it was very easy to find him and soon I was in. Smile the same like before , sweet and charming but it looked he lost some body mass. We were on busy street in rush hours so not much more than handshake but I couldn’t help not to touch his impressive biceps and indeed they were softer than I recalled. He noticed it and shyly admitted he did not exercise that much recently. He also looked bit tired and his eyes were bit yellowish and also admitted to getting bit drunk last night. I noticed whiff of disappointment that my new shiny suitcase did not arrive with me but I explained that luggage was limited on the flight and she is waiting for him in BKK as promised. Roads were crowded as expected at 5 pm so it took us good 45 minutes to reach hotel. He told me that he is no longer working in bar after some disagreement with owner about leaving earlier. Boys there are expected to work till end of their shift and what they do after is up to them. So it seemed had he did not contact me in beginning of month if I arrived as originally planned I would not have a chance to see him anyways unless he would be responding to my Line. We also ironed two trips to Phnom Chisor and Udong I previously planned for tomorrow and after tomorrow by his car I still want to check on his bar tonight so he suggested I have fun there and he will come to hotel at midnight He dropped me at hotel and distracted by his smile I forgot to give him his bottle which I realized in lobby but he already speed away so I texted him with apologies to a sweet response ‘ have fun in bar with boys and see you later tonight”. This time I stay in Okay Boutique hotel in small alley behind National Museum. Nice view of PP and Mekong from it’s restaurant on 15th floor. Hotel seemed to be busy with tour groups. I was given room with no less than 3 beds but not much view as it was on 3rd floor only It was already getting dark so I went to ChristianPFC’s recommended Dolce Vita restaurant for my serving of Cambodian version of chicken with cashew nuts and from there to Space Hair bar hoping to see some familiar faces. This time mostly new guys , I recalled one or two only , guy I invited to my hotel last trip was absent so I lined him to show up at least tomorrow. Bar was not busy until about 10 pm so I was holding court to three guys, then one more joined us for drinks. It was all good natured fun. One needs to remember that as soon as drink is finished your companion may feel free to leave the table so if t you want to keep them , keep buying drinks. Fortunately it’s not that expensive exercise but keep tab on what you order. I suggest you make it obvious you count drinks ordered as I was under impression I was charged for 2 or 3 more than my boys consumed unless some of them ordered something on my tab behind my back. Did not make any fuss over that , 52 $ for evening of fun seemed reasonable. Mindful I expect my guest at midnight I tipped discretely three of my companion 10$ each and left bar past 11 pm and walked toward hotel, Lined CCP as I walked to ensure him I’m there and received message he will be bit late as he had some unexpected delivery and wants to eat something before he arrives. Fine I will wait. And wait I did to a complete silence, at 12.40 I sent message I’m going to my room ( I was waiting outside ) and about 50 minutes later, quite devastated I went to bed. Yes , it was expected considering earlier antics but at least I’d expect some false excuse or something , not just silence. And considering promised tip, well above PP standards, absence was puzzling even more.

correct, on my recently purchased ( see my last trip report ) ticket Phnom Penh - BKK with VietJetAir out of 80$ price only 29 was actual airfare

now they will be his crush's shoes

correct on both counts

Day 2 P went home and I went to world famous for breakfast. With some time to kill before my dental appointment I wandered through markets in sois 10 and 5. Dental work went smoothly and they did even more than I intended to so very glad again with their service and expertise at Dr. Smile. Straight from there to Madrid Tavern for lunch with ChristianPFC . Both ladies recognized me immediately remembering I drink Chang from the bottle and my favorite pizza is shallots and cherry tomatoes. After lunch Christian went his way and I walked to hotel basking in very pleasant weather. After bit of refreshing I decided to go to Sabaidee Spa , my mainstay in Dec 2021 but neglected in last 2 trips. I hoped my favorite from there Ton will be available but he was not , when mamasan called him he admitted is bit sick . No harm done as from the back emerged guy I saw in their Line feed and was interested to meet anyways so engaged him immediately. His name is Tin and he also works in Jupiter although when I was there subsequently I did not see him. Great time together helping me to mitigate jet lag. Energized I took motorsai to Patpong 2 where I had a beer with Tiny Lao in Dragon bar. While I like him, that beer made me sleepy so I went to hotel on my way Lined ex model X if he is interested in curing my jet lag. He was but not immediately as he got drunk last night he said which must be truth as he arrived by taxi even if he has a car. First class personality, body and service as always although I could use more of his time today had he arrived earlier than he did. Excellent find anyways. Having V short time yesterday I asked him for overnight today but since he came right after work and was hungry and it was a while since my lunch , we went to Foodland and while there on his suggestion we decided to visit Fresh Boys for the show. While boys there are not my type I liked show and no doubt that point of view was shared by many since bar was full house despite being mid-week . I distributed 250 in tips and show , quite long, was still on when I , feeling sleepy and bit horny in V presence , suggested we should go. So off we went at exactly midnight. Always great time with him , no pretense, humble guy with clingy disposition but like last night I caught myself being half minded with him and another half of my mind was in Phnom Penh with CCP tomorrow.

all of that was plainly visible in bars during my recent trip, in some Chinese were 2/3 if not more audience including numerous , well behaving and obviously liberated girls

no number , he is waiter in the HotMale beer bar It was before your arrival

having TotallyOz as boyfriend why would he work ?

World Sex Capital after all, what's wrong with that ?

order more , I don't expect clearance before Thursday

Day 1 Super long flight to Bangkok , as always I booked aisle seat in middle section in the last row because I noticed that it increases chance seat beside will be unoccupied and that bet was successful. Empty seat indeed , what is better, one of only 2 or 3 free seats in the whole 787-9. I don’t watch movies so had 4 books with me but it seems melatonin helped this time, not that I slept much but spent considerable part of flight in at least half sleep stage. So finished only book and half. Arriving in Bangkok in early morning, just as day broke , I hoped for short immigration lines but it was not a case as it looked few big planes dumped human load at the same time. Booths were staffed properly and while lines lengths were scary it moved quite fast. Normally I travel with carry on only but this time I had proper luggage – remember that promised suitcase to be given to my Cambodian Charming Prince.(CCP ) Reason was more prosaic though, this time both seat selection and 1 piece of luggage was included in price so I did not bother with economizing. Fate co-ordinated it nicely , as soon as I approached conveyor my suitcase popped out. Since my CCP reacts well to red wine by his own admission I carried 2 bottles for him in my luggage and was happy to find out they arrived intact. Early train to the city was surprisingly full from airport , visible sign tourism rebounded with vigor. Baan Silom was aware I will be late, I booked for night before as I wanted to be sure arriving early I will have bed and shower available and lady on reception greeted me “ You finally arrived “ . After desoiling myself I went to world famous UNESCO designated Foodland Patpong for an arranged breakfast with ChristianPFC who lavished on me SIM card and recently issued new Cambodian banknotes of 200 and 2000 riels – he knows I collect those. Then to XOne on Suriwong to exchange money, this trip I took care to compare rates on every exchange booth I passed by and XOne was consistently the best. Not by much but still the best. When packing we usually forget something , this time it was hat so from there I went straight to Silom market in soi 10 and bought new hat. I noticed that weather was very pleasant , in the morning even bit chilly and it lasted for more than a week, only in last 3-4 days of my stay temperatures and humidity rise noticeably. Returning to hotel on my way I booked an appointment for tomorrow at Dr. Smile on Silom as I have some repairs to be done. I use them for years. Of course Lined my CCP that I’m in Bangkok and confirmed my arrive after tomorrow asking him to pick me up as I rather pay him taxi fare than to some random guy. He confirmed immediately increasing my heartbeat right away. Can’t wait ! Jet lag gave some signals I should retire to my room so I did, Lined my Grindr masseur if he is interested in coming but unfortunately he hurt his back playing tennis and is out of commission for few weeks , even declined suggestion for just kissing / cuddling session afraid he may be hurt in process. Too bad as I like him a lot. But I have solution with V, he told me he is finishing work at 3 and will be in my room shortly after. I generously offered to help him to shower, offer visibly appreciated as soon as he undressed. Both tired ,me with trip , him with work we had good use of the bed until dark. Then we went to G’Bangkok in soi 4 for a well deserved dinner greeted warmly by the boss there and his crew. Time spent with V and dinner invigorated me very well so when he went home I started survey of bars with Hot Male beer bar first. I had hope P will go with me but they had shortage of staff tonight and I was told he will be available only when bar closes at 2am. So I left him there promising to pick him up later and went to Dreamboys hoping Oud veteran of several offs from Tawan and Jupiter who was seen there by spoon last month will be there but mamas an told me he is gone. But I eyed another veteran of multiple offs, Dit and had him sitting with me . Declined to buy him a drink opting for 500 tip instead. Bar probably was not happy but boy was and it’s what counts. I decided this trip , apart from time spent with CCP I will be back to butterflying , both bars and boys. Decision prompted by fact that I noticed on last trip some guys are starting taking me for more or less granted. Going forward this trip I made 3 well deserved exceptions but otherwise sticked to an original idea and I’m glad I did saving some money and making new discoveries in process. Then just before midnight I went by Moonlight where some guys sitting outside recognized me greeting warmly , I peeked inside but bar was emptying already so I decided to go to Banana Club in soi 4 , bar I neglected last few trips. They had show in progress , mainly ladyboys lip-syncing but I kind of had fun there. Mamasan Lucy was victimizing group of Chinese in the first row so I was left to my own devices inviting one of boys to seat with me for a feel and tip. One of their barkers outside is very handsome so I forced 100 baht on him signalizing an interest. At 1.30 I went to Patpong to pick up P from HotMale. In Oct I had feeling I may be his first customer , now obviously he is more brave and we had good time , so good that in the morning I upped his promised tip by 500 I think bit out of guilt. Guilt because my mind is in Phnom Penh with CCP, sorry but it is.

isn't it a case already ?

Relax , I only look stupid

well , we need to establish first what pretty means. You are correct I like axe murderer's faces but what makes you thinking they are not pretty , at least for those tired eyes ? What I wanted to point it's I look at guy's face first and if I like what I see other attributes are secondary

does that guy look like KFC man?

I'm happy for you and hope your money will be put into good use

I rather be smart than smart enough but I need to live with what I have , lol Yes , my naivety in this case is controlled , I know what I can give and what behavior I can take and built ways of escape, both in the open and hidden. I can figure out he may be thinking the same, ' what if....' you right he is not sweet caring Asian boy but not naturalistic brute either, charming and well built young man I'd say. I don't want boyfriend I want companion for bit more than week, one who I will be comfortable with but who won't be afraid to say what he has in mind, in short I want the man, not a boy toy.

Tartegogo , in case you wonder when it happened, bkkmfj2648 was the guy sitting with me at @home bar when our paths crossed

yes, that request is puzzling with no plausible explanation even is some are coming to mind : somebody else on that flight, somebody giving him a ride , doesn't want to be seen with old farang by airport personnel , even sinister one like asking me to carry something for him or like my friend suspects want's just to have free ticket to Bangkok as it will be easier to separate if we are not all flight time together. Other option is he is creating escape route for himself in case he doesn't like me after initial 3 days in PP which makes sense from his point of view. But those are just speculations so I took a risk and decided to go through. About money I exactly follow Boy69 logic so I yield twice, changed flight and send money although only bit more than half requested and declined more. I must say if I was reader of that story my advice would be exactly one you guys are giving me including declining flight change request on risk of cutting whole deal of. But I did not simply because I like the guy, as I said , best of whole month long trip even if we did not meet in intimate situation yet. Risk is calculated and financed, now I can only hope for the best outcome..
