Whall - not sure if you ask me or not - but i stay in the area between Kad Suan Kaew and Maya - not far from Nimman - 150 THB by tuktuk to the bars

no sglad - Pandee is still open - there were a few there seated at the bar last night in fact - will endeavour to get there in the near future - agree about the eye candy in Chiang Mai - even the car park attendant at my apartment block has been getting my attention!!!

Arrived in CM about 2 weeks ago with the intention of using this town as a base for 6 months (initially) in Thailand. Managed to survive Songkran here. One day of the celebration was spent travelling into the country to a place called Mae Taeng. Lots of bamboo shelters hanging over a fast flowing river - food and drink everywhere and lots of Thais just having good fun. Most of my time was spent man gazing at the mostly young men enjoying the water- sadly they seemed to want to keep their shirts and jeans/shorts on whilst in the water. But a few de-shirted and provided some stunning scenery. I took photos The other days were spent in the city and I managed to get drenched regularly -nothing like getting hit on one side of the face with water when in a tuk tuk. Must say I was a bit worried when people started getting water out of the moat to use - always looks a bit dodgy to me. One day I called into Classic Massage and didn't make it past the front bar. The guys there are always so friendly and the place is well run - have to go back soon and have a massage - Non and Sak are my favourites there, Bar wise - have been to Secrets , Orion and Station One. Secrets was relatively quiet but it may have been because I went around 9 - 9.30. Only a few boys there. Will have to return one night a bit later. Next door is Ram where I have never been - seems to draw a mixed crowd mainly for the show. Orion is always friendly though small and it will re-locate at the end of this month - only a short distance away more towards the main road of the night market. Usually about 6 or more boys. Enjoyable place. Station One is the Kalare Market on the opposite side to Orion - up the stairs and walk through to the back. Near Ozeed Bar - Small bar, open to cool beeze at night and friendly - pool table. Only a few boys - but very relaxed. The bar staff boy there is one of the best guys you will ever meet Only foot massages thus far and not ventured to Adam's Apple as yet Hornet is quite active here and even an old 69 year old like me gets a few enquiries and not all from money boys. Have met 3 sensational guys on Hornet - one is about 44 kgs , would get blown over by a strong breeze - but with equipment that anyone would envy. Another - so quiet and handsome and eyes to die for - but so horny. Have to learn to manage myself a bit better with Hornet - don't want to suffer early burnout. Wherever you look here are handsome guys - the guy who works in the laundry shop I go to - just delightful - killer smile, beautiful skin - I have the cleanest clothes in CM!!!!! So the advice to myself is to relax, calm down, manage my activities, and not get too excited too often - there is still 5.5 months to go - and find a few more gay or bi friends - all my friends seemed to be straight, married - all this looking and not touching !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another annoying habit is the drinking of alcohol while walking in the markets - I am currently in Chiang Mai and went to Wulai on Saturday night and Walking Street Sunday and saw quite a few younger western tourists drinking from long necks while in the market area - not usually done at home so why here? Also what happens if the bottle is dropped and broken ? just leave it and walk away??? what happens to the empty - just put it done somewhere and walk away???

Now in Chiang Mai but a couple of nights ago I decided to revisit Screwboys - arrived just before the show and there were quite a few customers. The show itself has somewhat deteriorated in that it seemed to be overloaded with lipsync lady boy numbers.I prefer to watch boys _ there were a couple of big cock dance stroking numbers but have to admit I was talking to a couple of new found companions to really take a lot of notice. i did notice when the boys in the routines presented rhemselves at the table looking for tips. I was talking so missed most of the acrobstic sex act st the end. One of the downside things for me at Screwboys is that smoking is allowed it is a small venue and the build up of smoke is quite noticeable. Now to the boys - around 12 + on stage - a mix of Thai, Viet, Shan, Cambodian boys and some very easy on the eye. more like the ordinary boy next door types. I sat with a Viet (bi) and a Cambodian (bi) and we had a fun night - all tops so we were working out the possible computations if we had a night together - the reaction of the Viet boy when told he would have to be the bottom was hilarious!! Really nice guys and lots of fun - no offs that night.

Arrived yesterday to sweltering heat - a very speedy passage through immigration. Not willing to hit my hotel bed I took myself off to investigate Nature Boys. Very handsome fair haired lad out the front and only 3 boys inside in orange underwear. Stayed for a few drinks and had most enjoyable conversation with them. 2 were bi and the other gay. I was the only customer for at least 2.5 hours.One other chap called in but didnt stay long. Closed at 2.00am The boys were friendly and talkative and attentive of course. They said that it hadnt been busy there for a few weeks.I can see that the place is not everyones cup of tea but I had an enjoyable night. Today I went for a massage at Arena - around 3.00 pm. Wow - at least 40 guys available - all outfitted in jeans and some working out with the gym gear.All solid/muscled build with a range of ages. My all time favourite Teep (unashamedly indicating my bias) surprised me by telling me he is 35 - looks early 20s. Great relaxing sensual massage that was supposed to be 90 minutes but went well over that time. Havent got anywhere near the clubs yet!!!

An interesting read that explores this issue is the fictional novel by Stephen Leather - Private Dancer - a great insight

Lovely photos Moses - congratulations to Kuang

My first Songkran last year - really enjoyed it though the ice water comes as a bit of a shock when it hits you. Wandered all over Silom and one of the better (but wetter) Sois was the one in which Tawan Club and Sun Massage are located - nothing more eye catching than a drenched young man in a clingy t-shirt. My man bought me a colourful t shirt and shorts for the occasion - still can see all the dye coming out of that shirt when I wrung it out in the Tantawarn Hotel bathroom. Returning this year but will be in Chiang Mai and hopefully will get out to a smaller village to see how Songkran is celebrated there.

you're right - that pizza does look yummy

numazu - thank you for the wonderful photos - really enjoyed them - beautiful shots of the temples (and food)

If you go to Chiang Mai and want to spend a day or more with a driver/guide, you will do no better than Woody. PS the handsome Non is still there

Just finished reading Private Dancer by Stephen Leather. Story of farang who becomes infatuated with a Thai bar girl. interesting insight into a relationship narrated by different characters. Also giving a perspective of how Thai sex industry workers think about their clients - not a feel good read but I found it compelling

Great photos Vinapu - the places are even magnificent now - imagine what they must have been like when just constructed - was thinking when I looked at them - " where did all the stone come from?" PS - great to have a local person to accompany you - I have travelled in SE Asia for the last 15 years and always taken local company - so many benefits

Happy Christmas Vinapu - have enjoyed reading your report and looking at the photos - have to say that looking at those cages just gives me shivers - nice to do things that have been on the bucket list - just have to add a few more now!!!! PS - Sareth - very handsome

enjoy reading the reports numazu - and really appreciate the inclusion of the photos

From your reports - CB comes across as the most wonderful person - a guy, you hope will find eventually someone who will care for and love him in a permanent relationship

I enjoyed reading about the dynamics within the groups - CB going with his friends when you went to the club, the interaction between the guys (don't you wish sometimes you were fluent in Khmer or Thai ), the seating arrangements on the car trip, the eating arrangements - including the seating of the driver, the individual boys attention to you - asking if you were ok. will be interesting reading to see how SR played out with all them along. Baguettes in Cambodia , bread rolls in Vietnam - to die for cheers

Arena - still worth the ride up those escalators!!!!

Interested to read numazu's report about the time taken to clear immigration etc at the airport - I had similar experience when I returned home from Thailand in May - seems that it's necessary to factor in some extra time for international departures - always interesting to decide which immigration line to join - even my most considered selections have usually been the wrong ones!!! ps really like the addition of the photos in the report Just read the latest report - "you want?" - to be continued!!!! - I'm guessing you didn't say no

a good read ggobkk - enjoyed it - almost felt your panic when you realised the credit card was missing - liked your words about the current comfortable relationship between yourself and T- I agree you have to take notice of Ya's recommendations - they are to my experience"spot on" - still go back to the money exchange in Bangkok he recommended to me 3 years ago.

I went to SR a few years ago and did a day tour out to Tonle Sap - included a boat ride out to the floating village. Did not start well with the boatman asking for additional money above the ticket I had already purchased. The boat ride was enjoyable and the boatman and his offsider turned out fine. We did pull in to the floating store where I was asked if I wanted to buy some supplies to take to the floating school - the prices for the stationery were exhorbitant. My suggestion is if you intend to do a trip on Tonle SAp and visit the school buy some supplies in SR.

Interesting recent research data Target Map have released some new and very interesting data which unveils different average erection sizes from around the world - findings about average erect penis length. Lastly are guys who hail from India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia and South Korea who have an average erection size of 3.6 inches and 4.1 inches. a couple of comments there must be some very small Thai guys out there to bring down the average - this observation based on my man's and just a few others I've encountered in the past secondly - why wasn't I asked to be part of the research team!!!!!!

Compliments to ryanasia on this post - interesting , candid, pertinent, informative

Vinapu - my man just likes the places that serve good Isaan food - mind you, some of our most memorable meals have been siting on the hotel room floor sharing our street food takeaways
