  1. This is particularly valid question at Prasat Bakan which is on the plan , far from any mountains - where the hell stone was coming from? As for visiting with locals - this time it was perfect but often there's danger that we will be looking at places through their eyes. As for me , I'm always very well prepared before I visit any place or country but locals are always best in handling logistics. I know that without Sareth's help it would take extra day or two to organize Prasat Bakan or Preah Vihear tours.
  2. Day 8 I kind of realize that for many this trip report , full of old stones and short of young men is boring but for a sake of accuracy of relation I just soldier on. In the morning my boy left with my promise to call him over tomorrow as I had some other hopes for tonight. There was some problem with breakfast supplies in the hotel so I had one on the street and shortly after my handsome tuk-tuk driver showed up , again in the untattered jeans, for another tour. Originally Sareth was supposed to guide me for today’s tour but he fell sick and e-mailed me he will not be available so I went alone. Today’s goal –walk around the wall of Angkor Thom , city of the center of which temple of Bayon is located. So for Sophea, the driver is was easy, he dropped me at South Gate , got few dollars for drinks , was instructed to wait there in 4 hrs and I set off for very pleasant , almost whole way in shade , stroll on the top of the wall. Very few tourists there , some locals clearing bushes, very quiet and peaceful walk literally minutes from hordes crowding ancient sites. If I ever be back and I’m sure I will this will be my first thing to do , perhaps in reverse order. Recommended for those who are tired of crowds as it easy to do and easy to break at any time by asking driver to wait at the next gate where one can make a decision to continue or abandon. Today I walked clockwise and it took leisurely 3 hrs. and 35 minutes. Wall for most part is in excellent repair with moat underneath with only few crumbled stretches . top of the wall moat There are 5 gates with South, North and Victory ones through a lot of traffic passes and West and East ones very quiet with only dirt road going through. In every corner there are ruins of small temples, almost unheard of and not visited . If they were somewhere far from Angkor each of them will attract tour buses and local authorities would by trying to get UNESCO interested in them. little visited West Gate unmarked temple in north-west corner if Angkor Thom walls After I returned waking Sophea up we went to Banteai Samre, another temple not as popular and in quite of distance from Angkor proper. Well now , not quite, 15 years ago when there I saw only other couple , my driver then was there for the first time and I don’t recall much an infrastructure . Banteai Samre and it's ceremonial way Now it was quite full of visitors , way to the temple crowded with souvenir stands and few , again expensive for Cambodia , restaurants across the road where we had a lunch after exploration. From there to Ta Som , my favourite of all Angkor temples , Ta Som then to Prasat Krol Ko , rarely visited, even if it’s almost across the road from popular Neak Pean, and then to one of big 5 of Angkor temples – Preah Khan / the same name as one visited yesterday /. She is famous for library , structure which almost looks like Roman building. As you noticed perhaps, I’m trying to see places which are less crowded and perhaps less known but this is what I came here for this time. I did big stuff already 15 years ago and considering 4-5 fold increase in number of visitors , I’m glad I did. Booked Sopeha for tomorrow’s trip to Bang Melea , temple I skipped yesterday for lack of time and as evening set off I went to MEN for a massage with a bit of hope for more hence I gave my Barcode boy night off tonight. MAN, is man only resort hidden in small alley close to Wat Polanka, kind of hard to find but if one follows maps from their website is not really that difficult to get there. From main street National Highway 6 there small alley with sign “Man” and it’s really short walk from there. Tuk-tuk drivers apparently all know the place and it may be the truth because first one I hailed close to my hotel knew it. I went there with very high expectations as very name ‘Men’ says it all. Very classy place with prices to match, price structure the same like in LINGA 20/26 $ for 1/1.5 hr session. I was assigned boy, very , very good looking , not tall but God-like muscular so I was hoping for plenty. On the way to a massage room glimpsed amenities, pool, gym , few patrons, one with boy beside. Showered alone , massage on the table with well, boy in singlet and briefs and he stay that way for the whole 1.5 hr. course. Not even once hint was given that fun other than just a massage may be available so I had just that- very good professional massage by extreme eye candy but that’s it. Left 30 $ tip which considering circumstances was probably too generous but truth is I liked massage. Can’t even say I was disappointed, not at all. I guess last few very intensive days and few night as well did me in. Wandering leisurely through Siem Reap center, I went to the hotel, collapsed on the bed and my day 8 was over.
  3. thank you for great report, I had then same feeling watching that stupid number with balloons. When I was there guy dressed as a woman was actually big and hairy men , which I found very odd indeed. But still BBB puts good show and it really is wall to wall cock bar so I still confirm , for me best one in Thailand
  4. this time I agree with you 100 %
  5. oral
  6. Day 7 Today’s destination was , even for Angkor standards very exotic. Preah Khan in Preah Vihear province, not to be mistaken with the same named temple in Angkor Wat vicinity. Called also Prasat Bakan or Preah Khan Kompong Svay is least accessible of Angkorian temples located more or less in the middle of nowhere although by mileage / 150 km/ not really that far from Some Reap. I’m grateful and forever will be that Sareth from Siamroads found the driver, Malla who was in the place already and knew how to get there, otherwise logistics of organizing such trip will be a bit complex. Malla did not even blink an eye when I announced that we will have an additional passenger whom I seated at the front seat to avoid potentially embarrassing caressing although later on we provided him with an opportunity for a discreet smile with stolen hugs or embraces . Since we did not have a breakfast , we stopped at the same place for baguette sandwiches and in the next village for a beer which in tropics goes with breakfast for me. After hour on National Highway 6 we turned into dirt track but surprisingly leveled so ride was quite smooth. Reason for that was huge rubber tree plantation we crossed after few dozen kilometers. After that road become rougher but still not bad as for supposed nowhere with small villages here and there. It took good 3 hrs. to get to the temple and it was immediately obvious that we are only arrivals so whole area was just for two of us as Malla decided to stay at the car. I paid an admission of 5 $ to a guard and ticket , while not fancy will be still perhaps most cherished souvenir for me of the whole trip. After crowds of other places it was soothing to be able to wander through such vast and eerily quiet greenery dotted with ruins all over the place. It was tempted to explore everything but is such a quite place in the middle of the jungle possible appointment with the snake was never far from my mind. Mercifully we did not have such a case. My boy was as happy as me to get there and mentioned that several times , no wonder as width of trails certified that visit here is a rare treat. Only trouble was that in such an environment it was tempting to get a bit intimate with my companion but I decided to behave as a temple , even ruined is still a temple so I decided not to abuse situation as a compensation asked him to return to my room in the evening with wide smile certifying it was rather expected. From there Malla took us through another stretch of dirt tracks in the countryside back to civilization to explore another , now former, remote and unique temple –Koh Ker. Main structure there is a pyramid which looks like taken straight from Mayan sites in Central America. Before we climb there I treated us with dinner and while very tasty I was a bit surprised how costly for Cambodian standard it was ( 6 $ /person ) but I guess remoteness of place and yet it’s growing popularity made desire to cash in. view from the top and a warning Originally we have another place to visit today but it was getting late and I have no desire to speed out just to make sure a plan was executed so I told Malla just to drive by and I get a way of getting to Bang Melea, temple in question on another day. It was our longest day and we arrived in Siem Reap well after the dark. Thanked Malla for helping me to obliterate childhood dream destinations, boy went home to freshen up and eat something with promise to return soon and in 2 hours we were together again. Tired after sleepless last night and long day of travelling we retired to the bed in happy embraces, but no, we did not sent whole night just sleeping, just a little bit. And this is how day 7 was over.
  7. stay in one of three Boyztown hotels Le Cafe Royal, Ambiance or Copa, more or less the same quality and all extremely visitors friendly as expected at such a location. Check BoyzBoyzBoyz, XBoyz a, Toy Boys and ABomb for your types first, keep your eye on behinds of hosts in beer bar like Prisma and Oscars. All in the same soi or just around the corner
  8. to avoid this situation in a dark bar I have habit of keeping 20, 50, and 100 each in a different pockets so I always know what I'm fishing for. I also noticed that Screwboys fuck show participants were soliciting separate tip each, the same XBoys Pattaya but like you, I stood my ground.
  9. Day 6 Since today I’m not travelling far I had chance to eat proper breakfast, not baguette with beer variety. Sophea, the driver and his tuk-tuk appeared at 8 on the dot as agreed, unfortunately he was wearing new jeans , no longer sexy knees in sight. First step was to go to the Angkor ticket office, despite of crowds process was very efficient and in no time I was proud holder of 40 $ ticket bearing my photo taken on the spot and valid for 3 days of the next 7 including today. Today I wanted to see some temples I missed last time. First Western Menon on the small island in the middle of Angkorian artificial lake called Western Baray. Those who visited National Museum may recall enormous bronze statue of Vishnu coming exactly from that temple. Lake is slightly north of the airport so some distance from the city and I couldn’t believe Sophea when he told me that in dry season he can cross it on his motorcycle but soon I got a proof of it on the photo. Now, fresh after rains lake is filled and only way to get to the temple was to rent a boat for 25$ , price I found quite a steep but forked money regardless. After few minutes we landed in the island where I was disappointed to discover that temple is being in process of reconstruction and only thing we could do was just to walk around the fence. Nevertheless it was pleasant walk with nice breeze coming out of water expanse. Walked around the market at landing but all goods were more or less the same offered in Siem Reap proper. Then we set off to the south of the city where on the hill looming over Tonle Sap lake there’s another temple I missed last time- Phnom Krom. I could hire a moto to get to the top but decided to walk up instead, pretty steep walk with zillion of stairs but Mt Everest it is not and in about ½ hr. I was there. Good idea I secured ticket as I was asked for it right away. View from the temple is great and at this time of year full of water and greenery. Temple itself if located somewhere else will be magnet for tour buses and thousands of visitors but with such proximity to the Angkor Wat , downgraded to second tier status it was eerily quiet. and a view We returned to the city several km to the north just in time for lunch. It turned out that Sophea has some other clients to drive to the airport but will be free after so I suggested I will hire him for afternoon trip to some less visited temples in proximity of Bayon. We lunched close to those people’s hotel and then it turned out they don’t mind at all if I go with them to the airport which saved us some time and environment some burned fuel. On a way we exchanged with his passengers our Angkor impressions and it turned out we visited each other’s cities in the past. approaching Angkor Thom gate Straight from airport we went to Ta Keo temple. I was there last time but it is in vicinity of Ta Nei I missed and wanted to walk from one to another but Sophea found such an idea so strange and insisted to drive me there that I gave up. To his credit I must say he sensed that I was not what I wanted and let me walk whenever I wanted on other days. Ta Keo, Ta Nei, poor relative of Ta Prohm temple To complete set of temples with ‘Ta’ in name , last one I visited was famous Ta Prohm, most photogenic of all Angkokr temples , one consumed and taken over by enormous trees. It was already darkening when we arrived at the hotel, another great day this trip but little I knew. We agreed for another trip in two days and I lost sight of his bread shoulders till tomorrow. I decided to try another massage place today BARCODE. Located at river end of Party Alley , extension of Pub Street, opposite to a wat . There’s bar on a ground floor and few well appointed massage rooms upstairs. It looks that they also have a rotation system but boy who was supposed to be first in line was missing , guy on duty tried to find him for a moment but said if “you like me , you can take me”. I did as he was tall and fairly well built so why not ?. Price structure the same like Blue Hatha. Massage on a table, again 1.5 hr. course taken for 20$, showered alone which seems to be Siem Reap standard. Massage boy in briefs but after a while I found he is not far from my wandering hands. Noticing my interest asked ‘ you like my cock? You can have it whole night tonight if you like’. Certainly proposal worth careful consideration and after whole 5 seconds of deliberations my answer was firm : ‘sure’. No need to say massage session at this moment was terminated and since narrow massage bed was not conductive to getting to know each other better we decided to continue in my room. Off fee was 5 $ only , I guess so cheap because I already paid for massage. Off we went picking up some street food on our way to a hotel where we were greeted by knowing smiles of owner and few tourists congregated in the lobby but days where I would be embarrassed by such attention are mercifully long gone. After few night alone finally great company and ton of sleepless fun tonight. Upon learning that in the morning I’m taking trip to very remote Prasat Bakan he asked if I think he can go with me done very tactfully I’d say “can I go with you tomorrow if you want /” to which I agreed happily. On top if his tip for massage and visitation I gave him reasonable 10 $ for off fee for tomorrow and let him go a bit earlier at his request so he could pick up fresh clothes. Day 6 was over with both of us smiling.
  10. I'm even happier to splash even more , LOL Long life Boyztown!
  11. I can't agree more, it's why I even took twink from there recently. My best boy ever was also from there even if once you saw him you labelled him ' too fat".
  12. Dreamboys are full most nights, whether it translates to offs it's another question
  13. I can walk down the soi twilight and back to no end, in fact I often do it even in dead of night just to see how different and quiet such a busy place is only few hours later. Only bouncers who tried to use force to drag me in were Classics ones and sometimes even I allow to drag myself in.
  14. not necessarily, it may also mean that one recognized that others may not be interested in reading a trade of them.
  15. I think you mean Udon Thani above as for difference it must be something in the water
  16. Really? I think you are in the wrong place,
  17. Don't forget about us if you will feel urge to table an report of your trip
  18. it's why they made 57 varieties of ketchup, it will be always something for somebody
  19. three places are coming to mind: Pattaya, Pattaya or Pattaya
  20. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU !!! Day 5 Today another trip to a ruins nobody heard of. Sambor Prei Kuk is lost in the jungle assembly of temples from pre-Angkorian times, probably there are oldest survived buildings in the whole country. Now since they are preparing to get site listed as World Heritage by UNESCO place is relatively easy to access with paved road all the way through, good 150 km from Siem Reap and close to Khompong Thom. So for interesting travelers between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap it’s easy to break a trip there to visit the site. I got up early again , this time at 5 a.m. which gave me a little bit time to catch with internet and e-mails as wi-fi at River Queen works perfect. At 7 I saw car but nobody in so decided to see what is going on and shortly I saw Malla the driver , marching with Sarteh the guide from Siamroads.com , one who put together remote parts of my stay in Cambodia. Very nice and knowledgeable guide , did I mention handsome too ? Since I skipped breakfast we stopped on the outskirts of Siem Reap and purchased French baguettes filled with all kinds of delicacies, last vestige of colonial rule in Cambodia. Of course later on I had my beer to complement such a breakfast. Temples of Sambor are built from bricks and much smaller that Angkor ones , spread over extensive area of forest and destructive force of nature visible on almost any one of them. Here and there are termite hills and sightseeing here makes for nice time as almost all trails in the forest are in the shade. Having Sareth to explain and show around as well as somebody to talk to added greatly to an experience. Definitely worth of trouble and expense of getting there with a bonus of avoiding inevitable hordes of visitors in most popular Angkor sites. But place is gaining popularity and by no means we were only visitors there but with place so spread out there’s room for everybody. outside and inside suicidal force of nature - fallen tree strangled by another one On way back we stopped at the market at Khompong Thom where I treated us with some local delicious dessert and at one money exchange counter they helped me to get some older circulated banknotes for my paper money collection. Nice souvenirs , a bit costly but easy to carry. We were back in Siem Reap early afternoon, tomorrow I have break with far away trips having some local plans to visit two temples I did not see last time. I will see Malla after tomorrow for another remote , exotic and I’d say epic escapade. My handsome airport driver Sochea was in the lobby so I confirmed I’m hiring his tuk-tuk for a tomorrow trip to Western Mebon, which is north of airport and Phnom Krom temple up on hill above Tonle Sap lake. Afternoon and early evening spent wandering through the markets and streets, mandatory T-shirt bought as well as few fridge magnets. In the evening I went to the alley parallel to the Pub Street where Linga bar is , had a dinner in one of restaurants and sat down with my beer at the bar with an intention to survey massage scene there. There were few boys congregating in the back. At one point boss , knowing already that I’m aiming at massage in order to speed my decision perhaps advised me that only 1 room is left available so I shut down my tablet and went to the back where boys are congregating . Boy was assigned to me from rotation which I did not mind as he was looking good to those tired eyes. 1hr 19 $, 1.5 – 26$ -I took that session as always. 3 massage rooms upstairs from the bar, well appointed, marbles , hot water , mattress on elevated pedestal. Boy dressed in singlet and underwear , pretty soon my foot was positioned firmly against his jewels but my foot movement was met with stern ‘what are you doing? ‘ just to keep appearances I guess Since he did not move even an inch. Massage was good and playing mouse and cat trying to reach contents of his undies was fun but we did not go further than just those semi-innocent games. But I liked an experience, showered alone after massage, tipped 30 $ and left smiling . Certainly not as adventurous as Blue Hatha but potential is there for those who are determined I guess. Today , pretty tired with all those adventures and in view of more tomorrow I went to bed earlier , again alone and this is how I finished day 5.
  21. as long as I can see I can spend all my Pattaya time in Boyztown and only reason to cross the South Pattaya Road would be to visit good boys at GOOD BOYS
  22. prices are only one part of equation, connection time counts too. When I look at options I always consider how long it takes from first start to final landing.
  23. drink 400, off fee 500
  24. I like this approach as it brings two benefits , possibility of reduced price and if boy is not interested , confirmation of his going rate. My underscore Christian, I know it's Christmas Eve already in Bangkok but I always thought you don't drink , even on holidays. Really? I'm of opinion that in bar all boys are the same and only when out they show or not their true colours. Unfortunately often it is true but from my experience thankfully not always and lots of them stick to their side of bargain. My last trip I started with such a case , high demand, hard bargain but when deal sealed all perfect although in the morning it was him who told me that appointment is over but at least it was at reasonable 7 a.m. What works best in case when repeat is sought by the boy is to whisper why you not interested in this time / tell boy you too expensive , you left too early last time e.t.c/ may make a great turn around , been there , done that. May not work with everybody though as everything.
  25. While Classic mamasans are quite pesky I found ones at Fresh Boys easy to handle. I tell them I'm not offing because I like girls and wave boy over myself, it works even for those who know I'm lying with straight face.
