Reader, I salute u for the post. For the record: I didn't "speak out against hate", because for many years now I've been blocking and ignoring it (and him specifically). Since management was nuetral, I was operating under the assumption that the best way to deal with venom is silence; it deprives him of oxygen. M very glad this time it turned out for the best. Hope u, Floridarob, the courageous better angels AND TotallyOz continue in this manner. Kudos!

Vinapu's wish is my command, so yesterday I went to survey Peacock. Reading his "boy bar", I mistakenly expected something of the Silom kind; it isn't. No semi nude dancers, no drag queens, no show. It's a small place (about GASS' size), 5 bar stools, 6 chairs, sofas for 10. Screen showing loop of 2023 "Mr International" pageant. Surprisingly, music volume not overbearing. VERY handsome bar tender (manager? owner?) called Evan. 2-3 boys hanging around; none approached me, probably because I was with my SR companion. At 22:00 there were only 2 other patrons, a Russian mid-aged bear with a local rather effeminate boy. Bar closes at 01:00, also on weekends. On the 2nd floor there's a pool table; on the 3rd - massage rooms, looked quite adequate. Rate for b2b massage - $10. Stayed for 30 minutes, just to down the drinks ($4). As I left I peeked into Peacock's meter-away neighbour - Rendezvous; it looks quite the same. Both r titled "bar and massage". Rendezvous is 4 years old; Peacock - 10 weeks. Cannot understand the logic of opening a next-door twin bar. Other than that, nothing special to report. My third SR visit and stay at Men's. Despite its well known cons (location and price), I prefer its pros (atmosphere, service, gay sauna, jacuzzi) including the immediatelly available masseur - Cha Na. I spent my evenings nights with a great English-speaking local 30ish guy, who grindered me upon arrival (no money exchanged hands). No temples this time. Enthusiastically visited again the magical Flooded Forest, some galleries and a folklore show.

.....I checked into Men's; had a long homeland phone call; ate at the hotel, and opened grindr. First message was from a 19 y/o American blond, complaining about being "bored and horny". He took up my offer to solve his problems, and so I did. It's only my second time having sex in two countries on the same day. First time was in 2012: morning with a young Chinese-Malaysian tourist in HCMC; evening at the long deceased Hero Massage in bkk. I actually rushed over there during a 5 hours connection, primarily to check whether I was up to it. Anyway, for some reason - I like the feeling.

I kept on hold a really hot athletic guy, who approached me on grinder: |\/|@b. I confess to my stupidity: took me too long to get this means - mb. He messaged me also on Jack'd, under the simple name MB. BTW, Jack'd is the only gay dating app I know, allowing screenshots of profile pics; guess it's a bug.... He charges 2500; I invited him Monday morning before checkout; he was well worth it. Look him up. Then I checked out; waited an additional hour at DMK airport for a delayed flight to Siem Reap; and.....TBC in the Cambodia forum... (-:

This is just a short note to warn the uninitiated not to follow my timing. I read about midnight nudity leading to 01:30 orgy on Fridays. I don't remember reading ONLY fridays. Probably my carelessness. Anyway, went on Saturday, enjoyed the atmosphere and 3 masculine almost nude dancers, took some fotos, gave some tips, but experienced nothing scandalous. PS 1 - I was the only old and the only farang. No one paid any attention, or stared in an unpleasant manner. PS 2 - for those navigating there with googlemaps, don't search for GASS (which will lead u astray) but rather for White Rabbit (GASS is on its 2nd floor).

Tomorrow I fly to Cambodia. My schedule is: Siem Reap nov 9 - 12 Phnom Penh nov 12 - 16 As in bkk, I'll b glad to meet up with anyone wishing company and / or joint explorations. First drinks on me; feel free to PM me. (-:

Thx. I wasn't.

Thx for the tip. R there foam parties also in pattaya ?

Friday morning: report writing; expanded satisfactory Foodland breakfast; some grocery shopping; off to continue my gallery hopping. Unfortunately, this time all save one was a dud. I think the route took me about 3 hours and 3 kms, from the southwestern point of chinatown back to the hotel. My feet certainly earned a massage; I pre-booked N from Sun to come to my hotel room at 4 pm. I first gave him the added tip for Monday's session, and then continued to a 90 minutes one. Unsurprisingly N was just as good as previously, this time freely sharing about his life and plans. Again, for me the conversing adds a lot. God rested on the 7th day, and so do I; the day beginning on the evening before. I treated myself to a DELICIOUS and elegant dinner at Meridien; spent the evening-night reading and chatting in my room; then treated myself to a disappointing breakfast buffet at Montien; continued my rest; and in the afternoon went to Lupini park to listen to the crows cawing and watch the long big lizards swimming lazily. After dark I resumed my carnal pursuits by visiting 1/0 sauna. Enterance is 450, but as a promotion they gave me a coupon for another free enterance; lucky me. I arrived at the midpoint of 7:30-8:30 "event": 4 guys with green-glowing neck rings on a low stage (dark room of course), interacting with patrons - fucking sucking fucked sucked. There were 30+ guys around them, most of which were just watching. There was also some touching groping between patrons. Off and on I contributed my part to the action. Getting a little hot I retreated a toward a source of cool ventilation, not noticing that I was partly standing in one of the doorways. Soon every groping hand of guys entering or leaving was introducing itself to my erection. If (BIG if) I observed correctly in the dark some expressions or body language, it seemed that certain passersby were pleasantly surprised by my relative length, devoting more HJ time to the interaction. (Based on the times when I reciprocated, medium me was bigger than all others.) This being a first to me, I was quite satisfied to stand my ground for like 10 minutes (without blocking the door), until I exploded. Notwithstanding this hot experience, if memory serves (another BIG if), 1/0 is one of the best saunas I have visited, maybe second only to Taipei. 5 floors (the event is at the back of the 5th), sqeaky clean, very well organized, nice bar without loud music; welcoming receptionist with excellant English. At least 50 patrons; receptionist said not only on Saturday night. Most were young and local, but also a few other combinations. I saw only two farangs older than me. Very good ambiance. Tomorrow I'll use the free coupon to experience beyond the event.

Thx vinapu; found it. No wonder failed earlier; on googlemaps it appears in some unaccessible back alley.

M not surprised. OTOH, I have met mamasans wo detail what each guy does and does not do...

This morning - Foodland. American breakfast minus the meat (no minus in price) was too small; 93b. Tomorrow I'll add a salad. At half past noon I headed out to try 19-teen massage. Got confused when the location I saw in the street didn't fit the map. Turns out they have 3 branches within a radius of 200 meters. Tried the first; only 2 unattractive boys. "So sorry. You want more boys - come back 3 hours." Same thing at the other branches, so I went to Paradise. None of the 5 guys got me excited, but I didn't want to continue searching. Again 600b for 1 hour. In terms of facilities decor etc, this place is significantly above others I remember. Even stopped on the way up to take a photo of a delicate Thai golden hand nicely lighted. T gave me an ok massage; nothing special. 40 minutes into it he asked if I want "special and HJ". I asked how much; he said 1500 (blessed b the straightforward); I said ok. He had some strange body touching, but the groin treatment was ok. Nevertheless, for some reason I didn't climax. At some point he asked "u cum", to which I answered yes, assuming he meant in general. After investing more effort, all of which I enjoyed but didn't advance the cause, he suddenly changed something in his HJ technique. It got me squirming and writhing like never before. Afterwards I intentionally refrained from asking what exactly he had done; better to keep it a mysterious memory. Added 300 to his tip. Short respite at the hotel, and finally - after 3 days in bkk - I stepped out of Silom. Went by myself gallery hopping, only non- traditional art. Using Grab motorbike is like an Asian hobby of mine; the way they wind between the cars is also an art. Anyway, saw some really beautiful or interesting stuff; for example, floors 2 and 3 at River City is a treasure trove. Wish I could share some photos, maybe especially from a small exhibition titled "Intimate Elsewhere" - fancy words for gay sex. Unfortunately the eternal "error 200" prevents me from uploading photos, even when I screenshoot or downsize them )-: Bike dropped me off at Avarin for a one hour much needed foot massage (300b). Dinner, and at 22:30 I went to check out the "sleazy" or "hands on" ones. Despite my research and questions asked patient answers given, it was not what I had expected. As I opened the small door at New Nature Boys, I saw a narrow hall with some seats, at the end of which was a smaller open room. In it were sitting three guys and a woman with their backs to me. I looked around in wonder and said hello; no one responded. Everything looked so grubby and unwelcoming, I immediatelly left. Super A was different: wider longer room, sofas on the right, tv and 3 boys on the left who stood up as I entered, kitchen counter at the end, music blaring, no patrons. Mamasan explained "have boys, these two Thai this one Lao, have rooms upstairs, 2000b." The athletic Lao guy (only one shirtless) looked really good, so I sat and motioned him over. No drink was offered. This isn't a bar; let alone a gogo one; it's a short time waiting room in a brothel. Mamasan said "he give massage he top he also suck". I tried to make some talk, but nothing from him beyond name. However, good smile and indeed hands on, so off we went. The rooms r bottom tier quality, but clean. I wasn't invited to shower (duh?), but had to wait 10 minutes for him to return from doing so. L stripped down to underwear and started a massage. It was either some strange Lao massage unfamiliar to me, or else he was faking it. I do hope amateurs / pretenders aren't causing us any damage.... 20 minutes later he asked me to flip, and took off his underwear. Per observations here about Lao endowment, his was indeed more impressive than usual. As the caressing progressed, it became obvious he was comfortable only with perfunctory touching and being serviced. He went through the motions of sucking, but his reluctance was palpable; I'll spare u the details. I really cannot enjoy sex with a (paid) partner who is obviously suffering. We switched to HJ, and the whole session was over in 35 minutes. He went to his long shower again, I dressed and decided not to wait for him again. Downstairs there was only a boy inviting me to sit. I said no, and he went to call mamasan from the street. I paid her immediatelly; the unsatisfactory session didn't rise to the level of payment disputes. She asked "was good?" And I motioned her outside, to talk quietly without music background. I asked her if he was new, she said yes. I told her - no anger no accusation - it was not good; that the boy isn't into it; and that he doesn't want and cannot suck. She didn't seem surprised, and we said goodbye. First and last visit to that part of Silom. On the way back to my hotel, V the sports teacher messaged he wants to meet again..... (-:

At long last I slept 8 hours and woke up at 11. Just as I was about to leave for breakfast, a thunderstorm broke out. I waited for almost an hour, using the time to write up another report. The rain - the deluge - stopped, and I walked to Pancake Palace. Its street offered the quintessential bkk experience: wading ankle deep in water. It wasn't worth it. It's not a palace, and the food is just ok. Tomorrow - foodland. I went to check out Senso. 4 unappealing guys, but more important - price policy: 3400 total for one hour. Comparing to Sun (600 + tip), this means 2800 for masseur upfront irrespective of quality / satisfaction. I politely white-lied about coming back another time, and departed. On my way back I tried to scout Gass location, but failed. I went through Soi Silom 2/1, but saw no sign. No access from Crowne's side. What m I missing? Do signs come alive only at night? Back at the hotel I was back to the apps. I had opened them only 24 hours after arriving, and they were the reason I went to sleep late. On Romeo I was messaged by a 37 y/o sports teacher; this being Thailand he looked 10 years younger. His English is very good, his chat signaled a nice person, into mature, handsome with athletic body. Made to order for me. I invited him to dinner, but he was about to eat with friends, so we later met in my room. Long BF experience (without pay): conversation, sex, cuddling pillow talk. My FAVORITE.

That's my problem, and the difference between us. Mainly due to the conversation-prohibiting volume, and also the quality of the shows, I don't feel entertained. I wish I did; I also wish I had your talent of bantering with the staff...
