yes and no. I take seriously all warning signs and take precautions watching my back and having escape routes. But yes ,I want and hope for deal to go through. Knowing myself for quite a while I know I wouldn't forgive myself if I did not try in this case. It's why I invested in tickets and send him that 200 $. But I'm not desperate , it's why I took risk of denying 2nd requested installment exactly for reason somebody mentioned above - I want to see some action first. Those 3 days in PP should clear waters either way so I'm excited but also prepared for disappointment and indeed for trouble. I also start worrying about potential problem if everything will go well indeed - how to keep him entertained in those 5 days in Bangkok. Found already well equipped gym nearby as he is fitness buff. Truth is I don't know him other than three nights of drinking in the bar with some discreet under the table action. But it's also his case for me - he doesn't know me as well and may keep in mind fate of those who were taken as toy boy and dumped with nothing. Several years ago it was guy in Tawan who was taken as trophy boy to Malaysia for a month , was treated well, dining shopping partying , all expenses paid. But at end of stay was sent back with 3000 baht total for all that trouble. No doubt cases like that are on boy's minds.

Rob , what is so confusing ? Do I seem stupid falling for that guy? I feel I'm sometimes but thrill and excitement is worth it. Or narrative is too long and not clear ? All comments welcomed, I wont be offended or unfazed, promise.

Preliminaries Normally January to April is NOT a period in which I travel due to work commitments. I wouldn’t even plan it but there are some issues brewing for later part of 2023 which may stop me from travel , at least from travel to Asia. And work load seemed lighter for this January as younger colleagues took the slack so just before Christmas I decided to book another trip to our beloved Land of Smiles. Time wise all I could afford was 2 weeks and that is what I aimed for. It will be also my first trip in January and February. When I return I’ll be left only with March , Apr and July to cover Some readers may recall following statement from my Oct/ Nov 2022 trip summary : “ Surprisingly perhaps guy I consider most memorable of the whole trip was one whom I did not even off, that hunk I met in bar in PP. Perhaps that’s good - reason to return there sooner the better.” Yes , I liked him a lot so as part of planned trip I booked flight for 3 days to Phnom Penh (PP ) just to check if he is still working there. In Oct he told me that he is not going with clients , just drinks with them in bar and when I tried to suggest he can accompany me for trip to Siem Reap he said he is busy till end of 2022 but may be available in next year. When in Siem Reap I made last effort to see if he would come to see me there but response was the same and this was last I heard from him. In short I gave up but being in the region I wanted to try once more. Applied for Cambodian e-visa and it was issued overnight so all I had to do was to wait for departure day month Iater. Guardian Angel had other plans for me though, right after New Year , out of blue Line message came from my guy asking ‘ How are you ?’ like he knew I’m coming . Which was not a case as very few people knew about my plans and nobody , including me , even knew his name or nick. It’s why I suspect Angel’s hand in that. I was thrilled and even more few hours later when new message arrived ‘ now I have time for us”. Obviously it seemed that he somehow remembered his ‘ next year possible ‘ statement. That landed me immediately on Cloud 7 if not 9 and that feeling did not leave me for quite few days. Even now on recollection I can’t help but smile. We ironed things fast, I suggested 5 days trip to either Angkor or Bangkok and Pattaya (3+2). He opted for Thailand but for some reason only for 3 days Bangkok part. Fine , what about 5 days in Bangkok ? Immediately it was approved ‘yes , 5 days”. He sent me copy of his passport so I could buy him ticket , outbound for exactly the same flight I was supposed to return to Bangkok originally. What about kissing? “yes I kiss and I want you to kiss me too”, “ I will do my best we have fun together”. Financial arrangements were set for both PP and Bangkok part. Being prime beef he knew his price but from my point of view what he asked for was roughly what I spend daily for massage and overnight session so I did not have any problems approving his request. Learning he has a car I suggested taking two trips to sights near PP by his car and offered price bit higher than travel office would charge expecting that premium goes toward stolen kiss or 5 somewhere on the road. All that took only 1 or 2 days during which I never left my cloud 9 happy mood fortified by few pictures he send me unsolicited ( no I will not post them here nor send to you by PM even if they were decent pictures , suitable for grandma to see ). Week later cloud 9 become bit cloudy indeed with message ‘ you should go to Bangkok before me “???? Why ? we are on the same flight but we can pretend we don’t know each other. “ I want to make sure you are in Bangkok before me since I did not travel for long time “. I find it strange but being NOT about to blow whole thing about additional ticket ( my original was not refundable, non changeable I asked if the same day is OK , it was , what about flight which takes off 20 minutes earlier ? It’s OK too. Very puzzling but I invested 80 $ in new ticket, cheap price considering I’m looking for 8 days in arms of one of best guys I ever put my eyes on. I have few ideas what may be reason but none convincing so I just let it go. After daily rounds of ‘how are you today ?” messages few days later more up to a point message came “ I did not travel for long and need new clothes, shoes and suitcase, can you send me 350 $”, Oho, ho though I, it starts already . I suggested that we can do shopping when I’m 3 days in PP but he said he prefers to do it now because there are great sales before Chinese New Year. Makes sense. But again , hoping for the best I sent him 200$ and promised to gift him my new suitcase I just bought, enforced it even with the picture. Fact that I put limit on request was noticed but with what seemed good humor. So now I descended from cloud 9 to level 5 if not 4 but still I’m thrilled with anticipation. Even see good point with that split flight as it could be escape route for me if those 3 days in PP will turn sour or something. 10 days to go and I really count days but seeing those requests I also start thinking about escape route if need arises. Then few days before departure next request comes , car loan of 426 $ to be repaid enforced with photo of previous payment. It looked authentic with payment due 3 days before my arrival in PP. Can I borrow him that money and subsequently deduct from his payments when we meet ? No, I don’t want to do any advance payments, organize money there I answered while confirming our financial arrangements. Answer was “ ok I understand , see you in PP in few days “ . So I’m still thrilled locking my door ready to go to the airport but seeing things are bit less rosy although not unexpected I resolved to leave money I set aside for him for Bangkok part in trusted hands in BKK and not to reveal name of hotel we will be in until we both land in Swampy. Also fact that I’m planning to change hotels after 3 nights as it’s my habit anyways is supposed to be hidden until morning of move. Just in case. That request to fly separately bothers me a bit it needs to be said, if only because I can’t come up with plausible explanation. I’m not overly suspicious realizing that some of it may be related to fact that while his spoken English is quite conversational , his written language is quite poor so that my be reason plausible explanation is not coming. Another factor tempering my excitement is concern how I will keep him entertained during those 5 days as his ideas of good time maybe different from mine but that is problem for us to solve in due course. Which is soon.

confirmed !

yes, just go !!!

academic for me as April is out of bounds for me for travel and like you, I don't like crowds and on top of it hate heat - April is hottest month, but if I had luck in 6/49 and travelled there I'd stay in Bangkok , preferably in Raya as they provide drying rack for clothes ( Furama Sathorn Xclusive also does in some rooms )

That's my philosophy and practice as well. If price they quote it's to high I counteroffer with what I consider fair and it's yes or no i.e 'how much do you want ? ' "2500", ' no , 2000', " 2200 ?", 'sorry no, 2000'. If he will be good , chances are he still will get his 2500 or 2200 at end of session.

why would you laugh ? I'd find it disrespectful . Just counteroffer without any grimaces sorry for repeating floridarob thesis but I posted before I read that post

we are not twins, that's sure

5 it's still plenty as I always say I need only one as long as I like what I see

I was there with our former contributor on Thursday last week not only market is fun but also getting there by train as it requires changing trains after crossing the canal in ferry. Certainly worthy detour from Bangkok and very cheap at that , two train rides at 10 Baht and ferry crossing at 3 baht each way for a grand total of 46 baht. Pictures below are mine. In my opinion it's more fun of actually being on the train while rolling through the market. Last pics is train already at the station after rolling through .

I agree , in original picture they all are old ladies from Hua Hin knitting club, president being 17th in the third row

which in fact was may case and my teacher , Ton from Sabaidee, lol

i told you so

I'd go for Seed

you mean all that time from now till Easter ? insane !

then it would be up to you to post here , not somebody else unless you asked and approved.

no, just go to the stand or curb luggageless and tell them to be at your place in 7 , 17, 27 minutes or even 2 hours 47 minutes and they will be, rest assured. Sure you are getting old, who is not?

There are taxi reservation booths all over Pattaya. Did not use them this trip as I returned to bkk by bus but used twice in Oct/Nov. Just picked up nearest booth without any preferences and booked rides for the same day to my Bkk hotel immediately. Driver were on time as booked for 2-3 hours later. Stopping taxi on the road and asking quotation for Bkk ride will work too. It looks that some of you guys forget that analog world still is well alive and kicking and there,s live outside of internet , Google maps , apps and the like. Nice Boys and BBB cases mentioned above are good examples of real existence while denied it by Google maps.

On Friday afternoon there was marginal rain in Pattaya. I was bit surprised at this time of year. Last few days, after period of very pleasant temperatures, become hot ang muggy in Bangkok. So clearly heat comes soon.

I wonder what did you smoke before that post, lol One of my friends was robbed at knife point in Montego Bay, Jamaica back in Oct 2000. Is traumatized by experience to this day. Certainly no fun for him.

If somebody must be mugged in Rio, it,s better you guys describing miseries above than me. But now we can feel free to return to an original topic

Make sure his covid vaccinations are up to date About the will don t worry, he squander all his wealth on boys
