vinapu

and thanks God for that good use of time ...... what rain has to do with swimming , you weren't afraid to get wet, did you ? waiting for next installment impatiently, it's only 9 days since I returned home and missing Thailand already, so your report soothes it a bit

it's what you think, I recognize pattern of veins on his right leg, lol

lets disagree. 6.30 am arrival and many flights from Europe arrive in the morning, is great as long as you secure room for the previous night. That way you catch early nap and you energized fo rest of the 1st day. 5.30 am departure is excellent , you off you last boy, have a fun , send him away at 2 am , pack and go straight to the airport. On the flight you will be tired so likely will sleep big part of flight. I have it easy , no matter what airline or route I take invariable if departure time is awful , arrival time is excellent or other way around, great departure = nasty arrival timing . One less thing to worry

Geesus ! you youngsters are so weak those days. It wouldn't cross my mind to skip bars on the first night no matter how long and tiring my trip would be and believe you me - your whole trip it's just one leg for me, lol

likewise, too bad our paths did not cross in Thailand this year

Day 1 Train from airport was quite crowded, actually left airport already very crowded. Weather was good so it looks week of heavy rains which submerged big part of Bangkok was over but indeed water could be seen everywhere. Room at Raya was ready. I let Jason1975 know I arrived, he stays in the same hotel , we agreed to meet for lunch at Sarika in 1 hr . In meantime I went to 7/11 across from Raya to buy some toiletries as my luggage is in transit and it was shocking to see how empty shelves were . Obviously rains ruined logistics and made re-stocking difficult. Sarika after renovations looks very classy and modern lots of young people dining or just spending time there but can’t say their after renovation version of chicken with cashew nuts was ‘new, improved formula “ . Too salty and too oily for my taste so sadly while new furniture worked , new cooks not necessarily. After lunch we made a walk through the area, I exchanged more money in XOne, bought shirt and undies in stalls on Silom ( luggage lost !!!) and the we parted ways. I went to the rom to catch some sleep , set alarm clock for 7.45 pm. as we agreed to meet in soi 4 at 8.30. Off I went there and spotted jason1975 sitting with somebody at front of Banana Club. Somebody turned out to be Aaroninatl, our new member. Our first meeting and it looks we hit it on from the spot. I treated one of barkers with drink, exchanged latest gossip with Aaron and Jason , spotted few Jupiter boys going to work including one who I call “Boy of interest”, short BOI and since we were already in soi 4 we decided to check Jupiter. We arrived bit too early , bar was emptyish but as time went it was filling up . At show time it was 2/3 full . Poppy the singer recognized me from July which nicely surprised me and earned him well deserved 100 tip. BOI planted himself beside for a moment but I told him that I’m not planning offs tonight , stressing ‘ tonight’ , he got his 100 tip as well. Third 100 went to Cambodian guy I offed in July who surprised me pointing out where in the bar we were sitting that night . Wow, what a memory ! I know it’s only 2 months but still… Last number in the show was rare one at Jupiter. Thay made BOI lying flat , placed some marshmallows on him in various strategic places and invited spectators to pick those with mouth only. My friends in a bout of senior abuse pushed me to go there – not that I resisted. My job was easy since I offed BOI in the past on more than one occasion so kind of knew importance of those strategic places and how to deal with them. At midnight we went to Foodland to eat something. After that we parted ways , I went to Midnight bar, bought drinks for P and another host. P was already nicely drunk so I made him drunk bit more. Another guy was quite clingy and kissy so I suggested we will go to check my stamp collection and soon we were in my room for night of philatelistic ( or is it phallic? ) romance .

Getting there. It was second trip this year inspired by arrival of other members. In July spoon with news of him coming to Bangkok soon made me packing my meagre belongings and flying there. This time it was 18past19 with the same inspiration. I couldn’t deprive myself of pleasure of seeing old friend and boy hunting with him so I bought my ticket, send the news of arrival to Jason 1975 who after few days announced his another weekend trip and soon was on my way. This trip was evenly split between Thailand and Cambodia with 9 nights in either country. It did not start well but old saying ‘all is well what finishes well” applied this time too. My flight out was past midnight and around 8 p.m. I went to the pharmacy across the street to pick up some prescription, returned home only to notice that my wallet is missing. Promptly went back to pharmacy thinking that I must left it on the counter but no, nobody found it , nobody returned it. .All I could do was to call three banks to cancel 2 credit and 2 debit cards, check again for possible places wallet could be in the home to no avail and praise the Lord for my three trip saving habits: 1/ I never carry cash in the wallet, so cards and driving licence was lost but no money changed hands 2/ out of 3 credit cards I always carry 2 and one is sitting in my desk. I rotate them every month. That way I preserved at least an access to some funds and means of payment, even if cash advance is costly at least it was possible in my hour of need 3/ I’m cash person so have enough cash to tidy me over for most if not all trip. Can’t even envision what position I would be if I rely on more modern means of payment in such situation. So my last few hour before setting for the airport were not exactly fun filled as one can imagine. Flight was delayed as captain announced that aircraft is too heavy and some cargo must be removed so we took off apparently about 1.5 hr later than scheduled. “Apparently” because I fell asleep before we took off – prescription I went to fill in order to lose wallet was for sleeping pills. I decided to try those and it worked, out of 14 hrs flight I had two 4-5 spells of uninterrupted sleep. We landed in Taipei 2.5 hrs later than scheduled , while landing I could see my Thai flight taxing for take off but Eva Air was prepared for that delay and people in transit gates had ready boarding pass for the next flight in 1 hr or so. So instead of landing at Swampy at 10.20 am I landed at 1 pm . Not a bad time considering thar check in time at Raya was 3 pm. Since I qualify I was planning to use new automatic gates but was deprived that chance . They just opened few booths and I was directed to one of them earing only passport stamp this whole trip. Immigration was breeze but getting luggage was not after waiting and waiting staff lady came and told us that luggage originating in my city did not even leave that airport . Cargo they removed to ease load was container in which , among others, my luggage was. What I liked she sounded reassuring that luggage will be delivered to my hotel tomorrow around 4 pm. Lets see thought I . went to the basement to exchange some money and buy SIM card and That is how my day 1 started.

one more table available for others then

makes sense as with digitization less and less countries stamp passports at all. On my recent trip to Thailand , Cambodia and back to Thailand only stamp I received was entry stamp at Swampy ay my first arrival. This only because they opened few windows and directed me there as there were no people at all lining up yet. No trace in passport of me leaving Thailand, being in Cambodia , returning to Thailand and leaving it for good

hope you had fun and will share your impressions with us

there's definitely no single straight rule. All depends on the boy, chemistry or even the place where you ask your bottoming / kissing / whatever question. Guy who says in bar ' no kiss ' mat turn out avid kisser in your room. On another hand , one who kisses in bar ( hoping to land an off ) may al of the sudden refuse to kiss in the room. Bottoming question definitely is better to be asked in the privacy of your room as some may go for it but would never admit it in bar. With straight boys is kind of lottery but I hast to add , very pleasant to play lottery. Only rule I subscribe when dealing with them is that straight boys are less prone to drama and more business oriented. They know on which tree money grows

not rushing with any advice but I for one would definitely prefer Siem Reap, if only due to proximity of all those fabulous monuments as well as greater availability of western comforts. Battambang has those as well but not in a range Siem Reap does. Advantage of Battambang in my heart is it's rail connection to Phnom Penh. Definitely it's not God forsaken provincial backwater as some may imagine. But it's just me.

likely glitch in the system. I did not have any problems 10 days ago

delete and block sender. Even if true ( certainly it's not ) you can't save whole world . You have yourself and then Cam to take care about , focus on that.

not that wee are innocent , we are exchanging information about the boys as well

only sure thing is that Trump did not get this year's Nobel Peace Prize

it's why we love Thailand , always room for some surprise

as long as you don't charter private jet to fly you from Swampy to UTapao we are OK with you being spoiled, no jealousy .

of course, directly from XIV dynasty

about week ago bkkmfj and me decided to have a dinner there and were very warmly welcomed by Guido himself. We were surprised how spacious place is and how busy it was on Monday night, definitely more than half of tables were occupied. Menu is the same like in soi 4 location and so are prices. What I liked was that place is divided to separate sections so party mat seat in the middle of courtyard or some quiet corner. Toilet facilities are spacious and impressive too. all in all, very welcomed addition to Pattaya dining scene.

Cambodian bars are not in the same league Patpong or Boyztown bars are but definitely these are not just bars. At Space Hair staff is not supposed to leave premises before bar closes so in that sense they are definitely not available. But there's time before bar opens and after bar closes and with bit of charm, perhaps also discreet tip , who knows ? some of their guys may be spot on Grindr from time to time so obviously there's chance. On top of that at times former employees, no longer affiliated are visiting ostensibly to get a drink , which when funded by us may lead to desired outcome. And so do unaffiliated MB's who may be even more forthcoming about possible meeting . Bottom line is discretion and bit of persistence and one may get lucky. in Siem Reap GOD and Barcode, possibly even third bar Rendezvous are keeping appearance of just bar , Barcode bar with the show , but not all patrons are spectators or drinkers. Some will be MB, one may recognize faces familiar from Grindr and even from Pattaya or Bangkok in the past. It's how I got my nights companion on the recently finished trip. One need to have eyes opened and be alert for possible signals , not necessarily even very subtle or rather less and less subtle as night progresses and closing nears. Again , discretion and persistence , persistence and discretion may bear fruits. What I noticed , since Space Hair is across the street from Queenwood Hotel and beside Sun and Moon Hotel, if one is staying in those , is lowering chances of hooking up , again discretion

Super A definitely still there, I last passed by about week ago.

and never give up, sun will shine eventually

they did not. They were doing it , not talking about it

it looks there are two bamboo trains to enjoy in Battambang. One was mentioned by Department of Agriculture in one of his post and is kind of Disnelyand like artificial , purpose built rail track. I did not go there. Another, one I sampled uses regular track, exactly the same train from Phnom Penh arrived by on the day before . It costs 5 $ per person and it was fun !!!!
