My apologies to those who care I promised second part a while ago but I was busy with other travel and some social functions and only now have time to continue. As I said after 3 days in Phnom Penh I went for full week to Siem Reap. As lover of old buildings and ruins I must say Siem Reap for me is close to ultimate destination owing to number of crumbling buildings spread over large territory. During that week tourist stuff was more important to me than, eternal shame on me, boys. Saying that I haste to say that with exception of first evening , none of he following six went without romantic stuff . Getting from airport to my hotel was easy, I was planning to go outside gates where always some tuk-tuk drivers congregate but on my way was stopped by some driver who offered me ride to hotel for 9$ which is upper end of price for that service but was smart enough to finish his sentence with statement that he has also car if I want to go somewhere further. I was prepared so asked him right away ‘how much to Banteai Chhmar?’ 90 $ was much less than expected so deal was sealed. More about that later, boy stuff first as this is what readers are waiting for, not a pile of old stones. Owing to good offer on Agoda my first 4 night were at Royal Crown followed by three at Men’s Resort. Royal Crown markets itself as 4 if not 5 stars and it is quite shiny with two pools , breakfast is included and room was very spacious and nicely furnished. It’s across the river from Old Market. There are two supermarkets just steps from hotel and there was no problem with visitor. Men’s resort is little gay enclave in hidden soi north of National Highway 6 which is Siem Reap’s main drag but it’s only 5 minutes walk from said Hwy so hardly remote. Wat Po Lanka as well as town’s only Catholic Church are in close proximity and National Museum (closed when I was there ) is nearby. They offer massage and there’s sauna with adjacent maze on ground level, pool and all staff are males. For lazy or rich types there’s always tuk-tuk or two parked at front so getting to the city is cheap and easy. Room had a view and all conveniences but had that industrial feel with concrete floor , bit different from opulence of Royal Crown but quite similar to one I had in Phnom Penh at Saravoan. I liked their breakfast and to this day I recall taste of fresh baguette and heavenly tasting jam, best I had in generation or two. As for more interesting stuff there I had one massage there before I moved in but after that did not participate in any internal activities in resort. I’m not sauna person and somehow either I did not know how to approach guys working there or they skillfully ignored me but for me that resort was just hotel without any extras. Perhaps I should be more forwarding, I just don’t know but did not click there. No problem with external guest other than necessity of waking up night shift receptionist as gates were closed but 10000 riel / 2.5 $/ note soothed his inconvenience – my initiative , he did not ask for anything, perhaps because was too sleepy, lol. to be continued below

with new generation of gay tourists name 'Twilight' does not resonate as much as with us oldies with good memory. But " Queen Club " as bar name ? For me it's like name of bar with fem bottoms only

they do , I'm one of them, but still it should be customer decision , not masseur's. One of Tawan boys I off quite regularly tried the same as soon as he entered room in my hotel. My answer was " 1500 baht ' with outstretched palm. He got the message and become cuddly all of the sudden. Goes without sayin that in few minutes I offered to massage him, free of charge. His answer was equally smart : "but you tip me as always? "

so now we have two UNESCO recognized places in Silom area : Neilson Hays Library and Foodland Patpong restaurant

welcome to a heavenly gates anyways

that's the problem with technology, it's brilliant when everything is going smoothly which happens in 99 % cases, but when snafu happens , often there's no help coming timely and often not even place where turn for help like in your case. Credit Union our condo corporation is dealing with since June can't correct simple mistake THEY made in address where statements should be sent. I even went as far as telling them I will call police for help, still noting.

out of curiosity - how much did you pay Bolt to and from Pattaya ?

yessss ! We can even have lunch or dinner together in UNESCO heritage Foodland Patpong

you worry too much, just pack and go

for us not, but for our local partners ? after all we go home and they stay and risk stays with them. But I agree , Indonesian law is sill and likely not enforceable but still can be used as a whip in some cases.

it would be good if they included in those multi -billion projects rail line linking those two airports and Pattaya

To Thailand? any time is good to arrive I guess, even with longest airport lines. Swampy is always busy but long lines are building up when 3-4 big planes arrive one after another and all of the sudden 1000 people are marching form all angles toward gates of heaven i.e. immigration

if you armed your palm with 100 baht note you easily could

too bad I'm not there

never lose any hope until you actually get there and check for yourself. See exchange between floridarob and me above - we both sincere in our impressions and yet they are very different about where possibilities are

I'm glad you found time to meet me during my, very short this time , stay in Pattaya

it's even less if you take shortcut by the Hindu temple in parallel soi to one where Nice Boys are.

really ? I was happy with my 3 offs from BoyzBoyzBoyz, also last month (Nov)

and every weekday there's smaller version of local market at Silom's end of Patpong 1, mainly prepared food aimed at office workers in vicinity

perhaps forum is a place to ask but not a place to take medical advices seriously

I repeat , welcome to the forum

best course of action is to spent pink dollar in more welcoming countries

yes , to distract their own people. It may work for short time, specially among rural population in certain countries

I'd say all go-go bars with men in Bangkok and Pattaya are boy bars rather than gay bars

prison with the poll ? that's something ! on top of Jomtien Complex hotels mentioned in report there's The Venue. apparently Agate rates are much lower when one books through the their own website , not booking sites , I was told by one of our members
