Day 6 We parted ways at 8 am as for 9.30 I was invited by 18past19 to have breakfast with him in his new hotel on Sukhumvit. I gladly went although when comes to the food I did not eat much. Unfortunately I’m not feeling well for last few days and today seems to be the worst so I had energy to talk but not much appetite for a food. Fortunately my friend had, so he gladly devoured most of what ordered and did not touch. We kiss our good byes as tomorrow morning he is going back home and in the afternoon I will be flying to Phnom Penh if I don’t die sooner of course. Thank you 18past19 for an inspiration for this trip and your company during that fun filled week ! At noonish I returned to Togayther Hotel , picked up my bag and went to Raya. They have room free already at noon and it was exactly the same room I had few nights ago. Since I have not much energy for anything I drew the curtains and collapsed on the bed for good sleep till 4.30pm. Waked up feeling bit better and even hungry which for me is sign of recovery. At 7 dinner with Christian PFC at G’s , after dinner we came to my room for more talk. Christin is not supporter of my tipping habits , that’s sure thing , lol. BT from my 2nd night is trying very energetically to land another off with me tonight but I’m not keen as I don’t feel that well , that’s first, and also that pestering is kind of annoying. Sure it’s big ego booster being chased by guy bit more than 1/3 of my age but how many times a day one may hear that he misses me ? So I declined saying that I’m sick, which is true and around midnight went to bed , hoping I feel better tomorrow morning.

no, not really. Once you enter is kind of short corridor ( look for my red bag) separating toilet from shower. There's also curtain separating bed/desk area from bathroom entry part which can be drawn. Since somebody assumed while ago that there are bathtubs in every room , I need to say that's just a legend , there was in some , in middle of the room at that but by no means in all rooms. I liked Aiden but since is well above what I'm willing to pay I doubt I will be back soon. My heart is still in Raya and Baan Silom.

you don't know him

if you die from excruciating pain of sitting there let us know. By the way K is window seat , I usually seat in the aisle one unless flight is short and at day time which is likely your case. Have fun in Thailand (if you survive that ordeal of course)

good that you did not think it was giraffe

Day 5 As it is his habit my companion declined breakfast invitation so I went down to walk him out and then returned to the dining room on top floor to enjoy my sumptuous breakfast. They have a la carte and buffet options , I went with a la carte just because. At noon another change of hotel. Tonight it will be new Togayther on Patpong 1. They did not have room available at noon , told me to return at 3 but I did not mind that anyways as 18past 19 invited me for lunch to his new hotel in Sukhumvit area. So I dropped luggage at reception and went there. Nice talk over lunch , we resolved to visit Jupiter tonight. Around 3 pm I returned to hotel, got my key card and went up to the 6th floor. Hotel is not expensive but room is small and pretty bare bones, no tea / coffee, no kettle , no safe. But AC worked very well, bed linens were fresh and clean, water pressure in shower was great , at end of day what one really needs ? . Not sure about other rooms but mine did not have a window. I posted some pictures from hotel in this thread already: TOGAYTHER White Clip YouTube - Page 2 - Gay Bangkok - Gay Guides Forum Considering that Patpong location perhaps it was not a bad thing. I expected room to be noisy at night but no, it was quiet. Only noise was from elevator mechanism but always looking at full half of glass I was glad that there’s elevator. I don’t feel very well today although medicine seems to be working so no fever , no throat discomfort but generally I’m kind of weak and deprived energy. Spent most of afternoon in the room, at one point some super noisy racket made me to see what happened as it sounded as start of revolution or coup d’etat. No, it was about dozen of Chinese guests having conversation on ground floor by the lobby. Not very considerate I’d say but at least it was 5 pm not 5 am. At 10 p.m. walk to Jupiter as agreed with 18past19 earlier. Not too busy tonight but buys were looking great , out of 3 I tipped during 1st walkabout , two returned smile during second walk. Goes without saying that one who did not was one I was most interested in , one of two Myanmarese brothers gracing Jupiter with their presence. I’m not giving up on either one , lol. After show we decided to check Dreamboys so went there. I was hoping to see D I offed several times already. He was there looking at his phone and seemed happy to see me . he even said “ I know you are here , I saw you on Grindr”. It was easy to decide what to do – drink, off fee, walk to Foodland to eat something and back to hotel. That was energetic night, D may be many things but definitely sandbag he is NOT. I guess gift he was coveting which I brought for him from home energized him a lot. No , I did not deduct value of goodies from his tip – he fully deserved to be paid in full

Day 4 Long talk with 18past19 over breakfast at Raya. We always have plenty to talk and occasion to meet face to face is quite rare. Today we both are leaving Raya. I will be back but decided to check two new hotels in the area , 1 night each. For that reason I left some of my goodies in a suitcase in deposit at Raya and around noon walked with rest of my stuff to Aiden Suriwong hotel. It’s half way between soi Tawan and XOne so still very close to Patpong. Super modern , new and shiny. I was hoping room will be free and indeed it was so I could park myself there right at noon. Reception is actually on top floor, interesting concept meaning also discretion if one is bringing guest although they have staff on duty on 1st level all the time. Not much in the view from window department but since I booked cheapest room they had ( doesn’t mean cheap though ) I did nor expect I will be treated with suite. It took me a while to figure how to turn lights and AC on and off. Simple switches were replaced on panel on the tablet, go figure, fucking XXI century . No closet ,just few hangers on the hook another sign of modernity but there was desk - always important feature for me and what I like particularly – separate shower and toilet. Rainy afternoon so other than XOne to change money and then Foodland for lunch I did not go anywhere. At 4 p.m. I was expecting BOI ( Boy Of interest) from Jupiter. It was actually him who initiated meeting ‘ shall we meet today?”, always good sign. After last night celibacy I could use company , specially company of such handsome hunk . I’m of opinion that straight boys know better on which tree money grows and he did his best to prove my point , engaging , enthusiastic, patient and skilfully pretending to be happy with me. Great short time , not exactly cheap but worth every satang. Good English was a bonus , not that we talked much. Before he left he asked about long time option and I told him it’s in the cards later during trip. I hope I did not sell him some bug as I feel something bothering me in the throat so went to pharmacy to buy some aspirin and other cures. At 8p.m. again to Foodland to eat my other staple – chicken rice soup, 62 baht , tasty and filing. At 9p.m. 18past19 came to my hotel to see the room and we decided to inspect Moonlight tonight. It was quite well patronized today, surprisingly for mid-week , certainly more customers than last 2-3 times I was there. Mamasan Jessica was happy to see us. Neither of our favorites , Nut or Y was there but models came in force , about dozen of them including Khun who was absent for few years since covid. I gave my customary red note to one guy who always smiles at me. Not my type exactly but I appreciate that smile. Leechy mamasan was absent today so we weren’t really bothered by the staff. After show, at 11.30 p.n. we changed scenery to Midnight bar. P and my other favorite from there, one I offed on my first night were there so we bought them drinks. While by friend took an interest in P, other guy sensed an opportunity and become quite clingy and kissy . That worked, specially when he whispered “ I go with you ?”. Off we went after paying their extortionate 600 baht off fee. Night was more romantic than steamy. Since I was not feeling 100% , warm body was all I needed to keep me indeed , warm and happy.

and I'm very happy you did ! it was fun to explore scene together with you and aaroninatl

have fun !

not me , autocorrector's job

not surprising , all other considerations aside is not easy to socialize with people when one does not speak the same language. After while it's become tiring. Don't they have Grab or Bolt in Battambang ? driving on motorbike after few beers is kind of risky , specially that their roads are not exactly recently resurfaced, some may have an asphalt from colonial times

congratulation on reaching 1st milestone

enjoy while it lasts

Few pics to enliven the thread and to treat those who are curious but don't like my writings Fuji , I'm must be in Asia already view from the room as soon as I entered it I like to lay down on that glass at Mahanakhon and this is what I see famous toilet with the view - a must at Mahanakhon storm is approaching as seen from above

of course , although not shouting , only strongly criticizing. Sometimes its good to see how other side has it though, he, he. I have my excuses - age combined with suffering long flights. I'm not a guy who takes sitting for prolonged periods well. Boy overnight automatically triggers need of sleep during day which is even bigger waste of vacation time . Yes , quite a few boyless nights happened during this trip, shame on me and thank God for good night sleep

yes, third this year. And most likely last of 2026, budget needs to be repaired and very thought of those long flights makes me loving my home and own, even empty , bed. Indeed , I liked that trip I'm reporting on here. It seems that switching from boy hunting to " see what happens and go for it if you feel like " worked very well for me

I don't think he left forum ( last visited forum 12 hours ago from time of this my post ). Left Thailand , that's sure thing My guess is he is one of those quite a few who are active on the forum around and during their trip and then fell silent. He will be back , I'm sure. Aaron , are you still alive ? Hallo !!!

age shows, sigh

while I agree , specially about Tan who turned out much better looking and acting that I expected based on his pictures and appearance on the stage at Jupiter , it needs to be noted that whom one finds attractive , others sometimes may classify as ' also run'. We all have our preferences. Pictures on the websites may be also misleading - and it works both ways , sometimes boys is much more attractive in flesh that we expected based on the pictures. But equally often guy we are impressed with how he looks on the pics , in flesh may turn bit in need of downgrading. While waiting for our boys at Jey I noticed one of their guys milling around and he was not as tall and as muscly as I imagined based on the pictores

Day 3 Another boy less breakfast but no harm done - we had plenty to talk about with 18past19. So much that we overstayed our welcome in a sense and were reminded by the staff that breakfast room is opened till 10 only. Then we went to XOne to change money and split , agreeing to go to JeySpa at 2 together. I went to Mahanakhon. It was pretty crowded , they finally dropped nonsencical prohibition of taking photos on that glass. Visibility was quite poor but that was compensated by view of storm approaching very visibly. And soon it was pouring like hell, as result I arrived in hotel quite wet. Rainy season after all. Fortunately rain stopped in time for us to go to Jey. I booked Tan, if only because I recall him from Jupiter. He is no longer there. I was bit apprehensive as for some reason I thought he is bit feminine and dour and was happy to find out I couldn’t be more wrong. Great personality , great massage and even greater romantic, ahem, part. Very muscular and one of those which can be described ‘ big everywhere” . Happy with my choice , one of best this trip and certainly will be looking to reconnect with him whenever I will be back ( January 2032 ?). Need to see if he is interested in long time. At 9 pm I went to Happy Beer Garden for a dinner, Joy the waitress welcomed me enthusiastically and she knew why – I usually buy her a whisky soda drink. Did not disappoint her this time either. From there straight to Jupiter. I can believe how big fan of this bar I become. Is this senility , dementia or what I wonder. Fact is that I like there because of esthetics – looks of the boys and also fact that as customer I’m left alone there. No pestering for drinks , tips etc. Soon after aaroninatl from forum showed up , he likes Jupiter as well. Tonight I’m definitely not in offing mood but invited Cambodia I offed in July for a drink and gave him few red notes as tip for his time. He surprised me when I asked if he remembers me – not only he remembered we went to Raya for long time but also recalled where we were sitting in the bar and that I was with 2 friends. Wow ! After show I did something I never did before in my all trips – ordered beer at Balcony and sat there watching traffic in the soi. That must be senility for sure – since when I care about soi 4 I wondered realising I actually like that part. Lonely night but it was what I needed at that point - , good night sleep

Day 2 Early breakfast as Jason 1975 were about to leave to catch his noon time flight back home . My guest declined breakfast offer , he seems to be one of those who don’t like to be seen with farangs in the morning. There are few more boys like that. Or perhaps after overnight all they dream about is to get decent sleep. I exchanged latest news and gossip with jason. He went his way and I felt lazy and tired . No wonder , after such long flight overnight with hot guy, all that is energy consuming . I’m not spring chicken anymore it seems. So spent most of day in the room , only took short stroll at noon. In the afternoon actually I fell asleep, rain outside helped with sleeping decision. Not that I was sleeping long as few minutes later I got waked up by phone call from reception – they delivered my luggage, It was 4.30 so lady in the airport was right when she promised delivery around 4 pm .I’m impressed . Returned to bed leaving unpacking to a later time. At 9pm I woke up , after despoiling I went to Foodland to eat my chicken with cashew nuts. While there checked messages – 18past19 is supposed to land at 10 p.m. He booked his accommodation also in Raya. At 11 pm I went to Gass, sent him message to go there whenever he will be ready. Admission eye popping 800 including 2 drinks. Inside very crowded, dark , very loud music and artificial fog. Crowd was mostly locals half of my age but nobody mind my presence . Soon 18past19 sent me a message to pick him up from outside. Show was supposed to start at 11.30 but it was delayed , there were two models on two stages. Very attractive but I can’t say more attractive then one can see at Jupiter, at least to my eyes. At midnight about half customers went to the toilets to undress and I must admit it was very sexy to squeeze through that half naked humanity to the bar in the back to get my 2nd drink. At one point new model showed up – it was first2 I follow on X so forced 100 baht into his undies by way of vinapu tuck. But that extreme crowd and noise was very tiring so we bot decided to move to Banana in soi 4 . Show was going on , over there there’s always show but go-go boys seemed to be gone already so after finishing our drinks we moved to Good Boys. Boy I had in mind , BT , was still there unattached so I invited him for drink and it did not took long before we talked about long time , I paid off fee and we walked to Foodland to eat something. In the room it was usual fun, BT is certainly not shy and doesn’t have much shame. Unfortunately shameless part included extended periods of him scrolling his phone which is not really part I like when having , after all, paid companion. As result his tip was less than he got for our last overnight, fact he noticed immediately , asked for more but I stood my ground. I made silent promise to myself that no more long time with BT this trip , even if I like him indeed. Short leash applied and I’m glad I did. There are other fish in the pond.

still , if I was you I'd give them a try at next opportunity. I'm big believer in " go and see yourself " mantra

top 3 America , France , Germany - there are chances they know such countries exist and roughly where they are bottom 3 - I guess Suriname , Tuvalu and Eswatini as chances for them , and likely for most people, of locating them are slim so it may create kind of stress or even suspicion that we are making fun of them

among other planned trips , 2032 yes, definitely
