vinapu

don't you guys have long weekends there?

that's all Americans problem but I find it strange and unhelpful for administration of justice that Supreme Court judges are awarded status of such celebrities. Again , not my problem.

I wouldn't be so strict, I have habit of giving second chances, works in at least half cases

Day 18 Breakfast was included in the rate so we went there, restaurant serving it it’s on 81 floor and whole affair is quite opulent with farang and various Asian dishes. I actually pig out on dragon fruit which I like very much. Looking around one could see that hotel is VERY popular with Indian or at least Indian looking tourists. View was a bonus and after breakfast we went up to the top to see vista from there, you don’t even need to walk around as in certain hours floor is moving slowly. Then I walked Dit to the bus stop , it’s from him I learned that bus 77 goes straight from Silom to Prathunam and then decided to have a walk. Just a walk , so went by BTS to Saphan Kwai and walked all the way from there to hotel , It took me only 1.5 hr. , not a bad in that heat. I liked it as it was nice to observe how city changes block after block, not to mention all that eye candy. At 3 p.m. I was expecting X and indeed he lined me at 3 that he is parking car so I went to reception area to meet him there. I need to mention that this trip I did not have even one case when boy did not show up at agreed time , give or take 5 minutes the most. Felt like Switzerland. At elevator where I met X I was bit surprised with his shorts, not only on short side but very tatty as directed by current boy fashion, I noticed even lady at reception where he registered his parking ticket raised her brew while sporting not so discreet smile. Did not bother me but X reflected that Thai people are conservative and may think his dress is disrespectful. So much for cultural sensitivities. View impressed him indeed and he had fantastic idea, just took quilt from one of beds, placed it on the floor by the window and said it’s most suitable place to have fun . Indeed who will see anything in such a height? We did not manage to change dresses to Adam’s when it was knock to a door . Who the hell it’ll be? But I opened and it was waiter from hotel with box, inside was small chocolate cake and sign ‘Happy Birthday”, how the hell they knew? Most likely from registration. It was very nice and unexpected gesture and cake was quite yummy too. Not the we spent much time tasting it since sheets in the floor were tempting. I like X very much indeed but today he seemed was even more hot and clingy or may be it was me who was more clingy because he seemed soo hot. As usual no rush meeting . At one point he suggested we order some food which I agreed , after all I was on the run up to now on that dragon fruit from the breakfast. Another nice surprise, servings were big and tasty and price was surprisingly low at 420 for two plus of course tip. After he left I took motorsai (80) to Patpong, had round of drinks with buys and few members at Hot Male then where else ? to Tawan. Enthusiastically welcomed by Dum , K, M and TT who noticed probably I like him so much and made sure he is sitting on my right. K yielded place on my left to Dum but he knew why I came there tonight. After the show I ask him to dress and soon we were on our way to Happy Beer to have dinner , treat my friendly waitresses with red wine and listen to another round of their praises of how nice K, cousin of one of them , is. No need to look for taxi as K has motorbike , we found spot to park it overnight and again not disturbed by anybody on reception we went up to the room, my birthday dream come true hunk and me. We still had a bit of cake to try before going to the bed with the view. As I mentioned yesterday room had 2 beds. Somehow all 4 guests in the room : Besty, Dit, X nad K , picked up one on the right. Surprising , at least for me. Do day 18 finished on doubly sweet note , hunk in chocolate cake. Long live Baiyoke Sky hotel

you mean 25? glad to hear you had great experience

somebody should ask him that loudly before backpedaling starts

I don't think I mentioned anywhere that Bayioke is 4 star if only because only star rating I care about in Thailand is 7 1/2 Michelin stars Foodland Patpong was awarded long ago along with Unesco Heritage plate. While location is a little bit , how to say ? less shiny perhaps, I don't know why It would be undesirable. Certainly I did not see nor sense any danger there and as I said shopping is better than Silom or Chatuchak if I know what shopping is which is not sure thing. Yes , it's a distance from Silom gay venues but it's few minutes 80-100 baht taxi ride. Yes I paid 200 for tuk-tuk but it could be easily bargained down because driver while quoting told us right away ' no turists now". I did not feel like haggling over 50 baht. I will try Banyan Tree next time I have urge to waste money on some better accommodation as I usually do every trip for 2-3 nights just to treat myself and boost my self esteem but I used word ' waste' deliberately because I never really see that difference in amenities and comfort justifies difference in price. If you think Banyan tree doubling Baiyoke price is also offering doubled comfort of stay I'm curious to check what that doubled comfort is next time I can. But I understand others, like you, may feel differently. The same can be said about restaurants and of all things , boys indeed. I'm in that category as more often than not I'm happier with guys I tipped higher than standard or market. Since I stay in Baiyoke already what will be a point to read comments by people I don't even know on Trip Advisor ? I have my own experience and it was very good. If somebody did not like things I liked or overlooked it that complainer issue , not mine. I do read at times posts on Agoda for hotels I know from own experience and one thing is sure , there always will be people who will be complaining about anything, including water being too wet and along of them will be those who will praise everything happy that water was available at all. While I also like European vacations ( going there soon ) any price over 60 euros is bleeding my heart dry. very touchy subject, yes I did and when transferring my trip phots from phone to my computer I did something I still don't know what that pics disapeared from phone but can't them find on my comp anywhere. So short answer is : regretfully no Looks kind of far but it's really few minutes hop by taxi with benefit everybody knows where Baiyoke is. Even by bus 77 it will be 10-15 minutes max . Taxi from hotel to Patpong will be 80-100 generous tip included.

I forgot to add , I used his advice when I was buying my condo

my former boss once said, when I asked him why he is moving business in midst of recession ' never waste good recession, buy when everybody it selling "

it's why we like vacationing in Thailand

and that included breakfast as well as unlimited free admission to viewing platform on the top and as we'll learn later today one extra bonus next day

quite possible that's procedure but my procedure of off was non-standard, just stand in the door, wave boy over and pay 500 off fee to mamasan standing nearby

I'd too but they did not give me a chance to argue, pretending all is ok instead

It's definitely worth it, specially that windows are panoramic i.e. whole wall of glass. Dit was not # 65 but I still find him very suitable for an occasion

10000 USD saved, that 66 if not more offs of most pricey Moonlight, Jupiter or Tawan boys and none of them would tell you 2 hours max

+1

You got it right!!! next time I'm in Phnom Penh I know where my first steps will be. Thank you for very informative and time consuming to prepare ( I know a thing or two about that) report from PP I like guy in white shirt and knee revealing jeans sitting with the girl in 4part picture above

thanks God we all are different, for me that's exactly pull of Furama Sathorn or Baan Silom, further from main street wilt walk through the sois and markets. It may be the same issue with Malysia hotel, for me it's too far from the scene requiring long walk or taxi but some may find it as advantage , further from hustle and bustle and taxi cost are miniscule in great scheme of things. I second remark by the speedo1 about good restaurants in soi Sri Bumphen

we all are different, for me late arrival means better chance of going to sleep shortly after and thus shortening jet lag which is killing me at various times of day for quite a few days

Day 17 In the morning K dropped me at Foodland but decided to skip breakfast so I had it alone but not for long as few minutes later his bar friend M, the masseur , was passing by , saw me through the window and joined in but just for juice as he was after breakfast already . Today another change of hotels as for today and tomorrow I decided to splurge a bit and treat myself with the view so booked myself junior suite in so called Sky zone in Baiyoke Sky Hotel. I assumed it’s very high and hoped for a view. It will be first time since 2001 when I will not sleep in Bangkok in the Silom area. I took a bit circular way , BTS to Phaya Thai and then 1 stop by airport train ARL to Ratchaprop and then short walk which did not make much sense as it cost me 30+15=45 baht and taxi would be 80-100 and bus 77 may be 10, both being faster but I had fun doing that way. While hotel stands impressively tall, vicinity is less so being market area , looks messy and unkempt. Getting to reception requires elevator to 18 floor where one changes to another set of elevators to floors 19-77. To get to restaurant area on even higher floor /breakfast on 81 st/ or to moving platform on top of the building / 83 + walk up / there’s another set of elevators. Good news is , for hotel residents view from the top is free. Ordinary visitors are using another elevator from ground floor. On reception I got good and bad news. Good was that I can check in right away even if it was only noon on condition I accept room with two twin beds instead of booked King size one. No problem at all. Twin beds are not that small in Thailand, at least not in decent hotels. Bad news was freezing information that for guests brought after 6 p.m. I will be charged 1000 baht and they require 3000 baht deposit. About 1000 baht I said nothing just thinking ‘lets see “ , for 3000 I was prepared with cash but since it was in small denomination I requested that the same package will be returned to me which they approved placing it in the envelope with my name and amount. I got room on 65 th floor and as soon I opened door I swear in my native language. It was swear of good impression instead of mellow ‘ wow’ or even ‘ o fuck ! “ . It was room with the view facing River and what view it was ! Half Bangkok from Swampy to new parliament building, all through panoramic windows. Room itself was impressive to with separate dining and sleeping areas, couch , coffee table, regular table , desk and separate a/c for sitting and sleeping areas. Bathroom was size of small hotel room in say, Nantra Silom with bathtube and separate shower. All that for about 1800-1900. I always say I don’t like better hotels because I find it harder to leave the room and it was precisely the case. I made a tea and was sitting at the table admiring the view. Not idle though since I organized in meantime arrival of Besty , the masseur. He was as impressed as was I , I even offered to take him to the top to check view but he declined so we went to the business and first business decision was which bed we will be using, one on the left or on the right? As before very good session although massage part was quite short as it looked that he really likes me so we shortened massage part in order to extend part “ I really like you” . It worked beyond expectations. Now , almost three weeks after I returned I think my biggest mistake that trip was underusing him , he should be my guest daily on regular basis . I think my pro LT bias clouded my judgement as he was not interested in LT saying simply ‘short time is better” when I asked. After he left I went to check area, I must say that when comes to shopping, markets and shops there at Pratunam beat both Silom area and Chatuchak market in both in prices and selection. Of course we are talking everyday stuff , not real Rolexes and Channels. That wandering brought me in Phaya Thai station are where I decided to see what ‘s going on in Ganymede spa which is located in no exit soi just by the station. Three guys on duty, I picked up smiling one as usual, I was explained that his minimum tip is 1500 for 1.50 hr session which is exactly my standard. While guy was handsome and hunky, massage was strong and professional, afters were non existing. He did not make any suitable motions, I was waiting for him and 90 minutes passed , me being just thoroughly massaged as to compensate for shortage of this on session with Besty. As somebody noticed when I reported it originally , that’s danger of places with high minimum tip. But it was not a case few days ago when I went to Jey Spa ? Anyways no harm done other than bit disappointment, my second massage this trip with afters absent. From there straight to Patpong to meet world record holder Dit with 15 offs and take him for our 16th. Who greeted me in Dreamboys door ?. No one less than Soviet, guy mentioned few times already, last seen few day ago in Dreamboys Pattaya where he was one of 5 boys drinking with me in the bar. So much for Dreamboys hiring only Thais , Soviet is Cambodian. It turned out he tries his luck there. Having different plans for tonight I forced 100 baht into his briefs, not even very deep, kind of Vinapu Tuck Light as I had that pleasure in the past on quite a few occasions. I checked stage where Dit was looking worried seeing my antics by the door, motioned him to come over, told mamasan that I’m skipping drinks part, paid 500 off fee and of we went to G’Bangkok for the dinner , my first meal since that M accompanied breakfast in the morning. Owner discretely whispered “ change today ‘ since Dit is no hunk and he saw me with hunks only so far. To get to hotel I decided we need limousine on such glorious occasion so we took tuk-tuk for o a whooping 200 baht but great events demand great expense. When we arrived I realized that my refrigerator is beer deprived so we went to 7/11 and on the way Dit spotted some shoes he was interested in . Since he bargained price down to 350 I financed that, in fact I suggested we buy 2 pairs but he was always modest in his requests and declined. Nobody stopped us by the elevators to demand that 1000 extra fee so we went undisturbed and while in elevator I noticed he still has his bar number attached to his jeans only half covered by the t-shirt ! In the room we had 4 or 5 years to catch since our last meeting in Sept 2017 ( I just checked my register) so while talking we dried those bottles we just bought. I asked about his brother Fai whom I recall as great masseur and learned he works in Sathorn Spa , asked why he left Arena, asked how his daughter is doing and learned she is like me and likes boys he said. It was different off than all others, not much fire left after so many offs and years and when we went to bed it was like sleeping with husband of 20 years not a guy half of my age. But I was so happy that next morning , 18th of this trip, morning of my birthday I could welcome it in his company.

what's wrong with 16.20 departure time ?, just curious

that's real love ! But as you see he is accessible for 10000 USD for 2 hrs

I more meant narrative in my story , not a day itself

it's actually one of members idea I borrowed from his report in the spring. But I like the place not only because food is edible and not expensive but also because is opened 7/24 and often you can meet boys eating there or other members filling up. Also passerby's can easily notice us inside and come to say hallo. Interestingly perhaps , few times ( at least 3 I recall) when I suggested to offed boys we can eat there and they say they don't like food at Foodland , off did not work very well so now I'm on alert. Good point on their reality, sadly true, 100 baht is bus ticket where I live but 2 meals on the street for boys there

I like Furama Sathorn better but I stay only 1 night at Furama Silom vs 6 at Sathorn so I may not be well informed but yes, after Raya, Furama sathorn is my 2nd most favorite Hotel in Silom area
