Gogo bars The first time I stepped foot into a gogo bar was during my first visit in 2016 (dreamboys and I think x boys back in Soi Twilight, with a tour guide), but I didn’t off anyone. This trip I found the courage to go by myself, and it wasn’t actually as scary as I thought. It was pretty straight forward, and I am indebted to this forum for the information on how they worked. I didn’t manage to actually get to any gogo bars until my 3rdnight in Bangkok, but I managed to check out 5, one bar per night. Freshboys: I actually had wanted to go to screwboys for my first foray into the gogo bars, but I couldn’t immediately see it when I entered Patpong 2. One of the grabbers from fresh boys said there was a fuck show, and I thought that sounded good, so I went upstairs and I was led inside to a seat. The venue was intimate, and the show had already started when I arrived. Dark skinned mamasan with big hair looked after me, and a Vietnamese waiter sat with me for a while, was a little touchy-feely, and asked me to buy him a drink, which I declined. The show was good, pretty much what I expected, I did notice the big cock/pole/knee routine which has been mentioned here, and the fuck show was probably the best out of all of the bars that I visited this trip. The mamasans and waiters did a good job of standing in the way whilst I was trying to watch the show. There were 2 guys on my short list to off – one of the guys from the big cock show, and a more twinkier guy. I’m pretty flexible with guys, so I don’t necessarily need to look for a top or a bottom as I can just go with the flow with whatever the guy is comfortable with (but they need to be able to kiss!). Anyway, mamasan said that the big cock guy was top only, which is fine, but what that translates to me is that he probably won’t do much, plus he looked a little bit cocky, but hey, he could have been really nice. He was super hot though, and did wander through the audience and I had a bit of a grope. Anyway, I decided on the twinkier guy (turns out he is from Laos), mamasan said he did everything. He came over and his English was a little limited, but we used google translate to help. Maybe I heard wrong, but I think he said he was 32, but later I stumbled across his grindr and hornet profiles which said 20 and 24, so who knows. I didn’t mind though as I prefer guys a little older and closer to my age (mid 30’s). So after settling the bill, I put 100 baht in the other guy’s underwear (as he would have been my other choice), and we walked back to the hotel, holding hands (actually, all but 1 of the guys held hands with me on the way back), which was nice. He was pretty fun in bed and we were both pretty versatile. This guy was nice, and I liked his company. We cuddled afterwards (actually I did with all of the guys, most just fell asleep). He wanted to stay the night (he was so tired, poor thing), but I had to decline because I’m not so much into longtime. I find it really hard to sleep when someone else is sharing a bed with me. Perhaps one day. Sent him on his way with an extra 100 baht to give to mamasan as I realised I didn’t tip her, so who knows if she actually got it or not lol. Screwboys: so on my second night out, I finally found this bar, the reason why I didn’t see it previously is that it was set back from the road a little. It was a cosy bar, seating was a little strange (at one stage I took my shoes off and sat cross legged), and mamasan (male) talked to me periodically and sometimes put his head on my shoulder. A lot of guys to choose from, the show was pretty standard, and after the show I chose another twinkier looking guy as he looked friendly and kind. Mamasan called him over, and he sat with me for a while (shivering as he was wearing only underwear and we must have been under the aircon) before we left together. 20 years old from Laos (2 Lao guys in a row, who would have thought), and he spoke zero english, but we managed. If I understood correctly, he had only been working in the bar for 6 days. Walked back to the hotel hand in hand, I registered him at reception (the only guy that I registered throughout my trip), and had some fun in the room. I didn’t really want to go further than kissing/oral/handjobs as I just kinda wanted to give him an easy time if he had only been working there for a few days. Nice guy though and super cute. It was amusing in the shower afterwards though as he was washing his hair and was having trouble with the shampoo as it wasn’t really lathering, but turns out that his hair was gelled so much that he needed copious amounts of shampoo to wash it all out. I accompanied him down to the street to bid him farewell (actually I accompanied all of the guys out to the street during my time here. It felt like the right thing to do). Lucky boys: this bar was huge. I chose to sit up the back (my preferred seating), and I got there a little early so I had to wait a while for the show to start. The mamasan (with the emirates hat) sat with me periodically, and we made a bit of small talk, but after the show I commented on her good english skills and she opened up and just talked and talked about how she learnt english, where she worked before, how long she has been at lucky boys etc). The show was, again, pretty standard, although a little higher quality than fresh and screw, but the fuck show was still the best at fresh. There were 2 guys that I had my eye on, a pretty guy with facial hair, and a more masculine guy, who was a little bigger, and hairier. Even though I did like the look of the facial hair guy and he was super hot, and I decided to go with the hairier guy. Mamasan called him over, 26 or 28 years old, from Cambodia, and english skills were decent which was a nice change. I got the mamasan to call over pretty facial hair guy and I gave him 100 baht. Back to the room and we showered separately, and he put the bathroom blinds down whilst showering (I noticed with the guys that came back with me to this hotel, only the Cambodian guys did this), and had some fun. I bottomed for him and he fucked pretty hard. Sweet guy, had a fun night with him and I think I connected with him a little more than Lao guy 2, but not more than Lao guy 1. Dreamboys: before I went to dreamboys I was umming and aah-ing about my situation – I had limited time left, I wanted to go to a new bar each night (but didn’t really want to do 2 bars in a night), but really wanted to off the big dick guy from freshboys, and also the pretty guy in lucky boys. I didn’t have any of the mamasan’s contact details so I couldn’t really organise anything. And I knew that most of these guys probably don’t really stay in the game for too long, so it is possible by the time I visited again, they wouldn’t be there anymore. Anyway, I ended up making my decision and going to dreamboys as I wanted to visit a new bar, which was my plan all along. Much to my surprise, all of my indecisiveness was forgotten when I met the guy who I would off here, who coincidentally became my favourite of the whole trip. Dreamboys was smaller than I had anticipated (when I compare it to the old dreamboys which I had been to a few years prior), I had a nice seat up the back, and watched the guys in rotation. I had my eye on 2 guys – one of which was a little more on the twinkier side, but with a softer body (like mine aha), and the other was a little bigger (taller) than I would have usually gone for, and muscly (but not overly). But I really really liked his face. The show was pretty standard fare, my ‘guy’ ended up being in the big cock show, and there was also a section where 2 attractive guys from the audience were called on stage and were made to take most of their clothes off and were “massaged” by the ladyboys. It was actually pretty crass and I was glad I was sitting up the back. Anyway, after the show I decided to go for something different than what I’m used to, so I got the mamasan to call the (big cock) guy down (she said he was gay and flexible), and I was a little apprehensive as I thought he may be a little cocky or arrogant, but when he got to me, he was actually super nice. Thai guy, said he was 30 (his line profile said 33 though, which doesn’t worry me as I prefer a little older), and spoke quite reasonable English. After talking for a little bit, we left together (hand in hand), stopped by 7/11 on the way where I bought him a couple of snacks, and shortly after we were back in my room. Really loving how close The Raya is to the action. He was really quite playful and fun, yet really passionate, and an amazing kisser, and I think we really connected. Whether it was genuine or fabricated, I didn’t really mind because at least he went to the effort. Didn’t go further than kissing, oral, and handjobs, but I was pretty satisfied. I made sure to get his line id before he left. He messaged me a little later saying he was at the gym (like at 3am lol). I thought it was funny how at the beginning of the night I was unsure of what to do, and then he just made me forget about it all. Funny how things work sometimes. Moonlight: Even though the general type of guys at Moonlight weren’t really my type, I was curious about this bar, and it was super close to my hotel. Turns out that there is someone there for everyone. It was quite busy when I arrived, and was seated near the front, but not right up the front, next to some Thai girls. The shows were probably the most professional out of them all, and the models were quite attractive, a little too muscular for my liking, but my favourite was Babe (I think) as I really liked his face. After the first show (which went on for more than an hour), most of the audience left and I moved to some seating towards the back to watch the second show, which was much shorter in comparison. I had my eye on quite a few guys, but I wanted to wait until the end before I chose, however most of the guys that I had my eye on were gone (lesson learnt – choose earlier). It was a nice touch at the end when the singers were singing, and the guys that were left were just scattered around the stage, some playing and joking around. I ended up choosing a smaller but muscular guy as from his mannerisms on stage he looked quite fun, and he was also in the big cock show. 34 years old (I think) from Cambodia, went back to my hotel (not hand in hand for once), and he showered with the blinds down. I’m pretty realistic, and I don’t expect to connect with every guy, but he ended up being a little bit of a dud. I sucked him for a while and was getting a little bored and was about to give up and send him home, but then he asked to fuck me and then got a little more animated after that. Kissing was a little difficult as his breath was not, well, fresh. So it wasn’t all bad, but the guys from the other bars were better. But obviously this isn’t an indication of the quality of the guys from the bar itself, as many factors would have been at play – he could have been tired, having an off night, not so much into me, but hey, you live and you learn.

I recently came back from a 2-week trip to Thailand (my 3rdtime to Thailand this year), where I visited Bangkok and Pattaya. Some of this report is chronological and some is just the experiences in places that I visited, a little disjointed but I think it gets the point across. It’ll kinda be posted in dribs and drabs as I’m just copying and pasting from a word document which I created. BANGKOK Lucky for me I had a direct flight with Thai Airways from my home city, first time taking this airline and I couldn’t really fault them. Arrived mid-afternoon, went through immigration, collected my suitcase, exchanged some cash in the basement before catching the ARL to Makasaan, and then the MRT from Petchaburi to Sam Yan. Since I was staying at The Raya, I could have gotten off at Silom (or even caught the BTS) but I didn’t fancy crossing Surawong Rd with my suitcase (and crossing Surawong Rd during my whole trip annoyed me to no end). Sam Yan I think is a little further but the walk was easier. The hotel was quite nice, and I got a pretty good deal by booking my flights and accommodation together on expedia. Reception was on the 5thfloor, and my room was on the 7thfloor. Large room, decent sized bathroom (which I like), and I especially liked the glass wall separating the bathroom to the bedroom. I’ve stayed at hotels with a window separating the bathroom to the bedroom, but never an actual full glass wall. The view from my window was facing west so I could see some of Surrawong Rd, and directly beneath my window were the remains of Soi Twilight. There was a balcony, but I was unsure whether or not it was meant to be used as there was no door, but I climbed out of the window and went on the balcony anyway. I quite often looked out at the view for ages, just contemplating life and such. It was quite relaxing. Lots of Japanese guests at this hotel and they were LOUD. Well, on my floor they were. I ended up getting a smoking room (but I wasn’t smoking on this occasion) and the smell blocked up my nose for a while but the smoke smell went away in a day or so. Unfortunately for me I had to bring some work with me that I didn’t manage to finish before I left, so that preoccupied me for the rest of the night (and the next day or so), but I went for a walk, got some water and snacks at 7/11, made an appointment for the next day at Prime (I tried to book the guy I had last time, but he had gone home for 2 weeks, damn), went looking for some dinner but was overwhelmed by all of the choices that I found myself at Bon Chon in the Silom Complex where I’ve been before. Quite nice fried chicken, albeit a little on the pricier side.

I'll be arriving on the 7th

oh yes, must not forget I actually tried this place in September - it was really good!

guys, thank you so much! I'm looking forward to trying out these places. only less than 3 weeks until lift off!

Hi all, So one of my favourite things to do when I visit foreign countries (apart from, ahem, tasting the local delicacies, to put it mildly) is to eat! So I'm just wondering what your favourite places to eat are, around the general Patpong area (I noticed quite a lot of Japanese restaurants on google maps), and also in the Jomtien Complex. I'll be staying at Raya and Zing. Cheers!

yes!!!

*operetta (sorry sorry, I just know something for once )

and you shall receive! (once trip completed)

So when I went to Thailand earlier this year in April I thought I wouldn't be back until next year. But then I went in Sept/Oct. When I was there in Sept/Oct I thought that trip would be my final trip of the year. Until I booked flights and accommodation this week. So I will be back in Thailand for the 3rd time this year for a couple of weeks in December (indulgent much?) spending some time in Bangkok and Pattaya (Jomtien).. I'm super excited!

Good that you managed to visit Cruise club whilst you were there as they are closing down on the 28th Oct!

Thank you Next time! I don't even know how I came across it actually (most probably my endless perusing on google maps), not the highest of rooftop bars, but it was quite nice nonetheless. Regarding J, that ship has sailed! I've learnt my lesson, and chalking it all up to experience. There are plenty more guys in Thailand that I will explore next time!

Day 5: Caught the BTS to Asok and had a wander around Terminal 21. Ended up buying some jeans, shorts, and shirts from H&M and had a cheap lunch at the food court, although the serving sizes were quite small. When I got bored, I went back on the BTS to Sala Daeng and went to Prime Massage. I've heard a lot of good reviews about this place so I decided to give it a try. When I got there, they were quite busy, but it was quite efficiently run. I wanted to get a 1 hour foot/1 hour Thai massage, but the lady at the counter said if I got a 30 min foot/1 hour Thai then I wouldn't have to wait, and could get started straight away. So I went with that. 450 baht. My guy was a cutie, and quite smiley as well. Foot massage was good, and the Thai massage was amazing - out of all the Thai massages I've had in my life, I don't think I've ever been contorted into so many positions. He was really strong and worked hard, so I tipped him 300 baht. Since I was quite impressed, I made an appointment for the following day with the same guy for a 1 hour foot/1 hour Thai. On the way back to the BTS station I took a detour and walked through the Patpong night market (it wasn't quite night yet so they were still setting up), and then back down the street that some of the bars are on (Screwboys, Dreamboy Paradiso etc). I also walked past so many massage places. I just want to try them all out! Day 6: Went to MBK to have a bit of a look, nothing too spectacular there, lots of stalls like a market. I had some lunch and bought a pencil case. Afterwards I went back to Prime for my appointment, got there a little earlier and was able to start straight away. My massage guy looked like he got a fresh haircut too. If I thought yesterday was good, today was even better and he was using some moves that he didn't use yesterday. Pretty legit massage, although he came in contact with my 'area' a few times, whether accidental or deliberate, I didn't mind. Tipped him 500 baht as he worked really hard over the 2 hours he was with me. Then I was thinking, if these guys work this hard all day for hours and hours, they must get really sore.. or maybe during their training they learn how to massage without hurting themselves? Later in the evening I went for a drink (and dinner) at heaven rooftop bar. It's in the same building as Arena and you have enter through a spa (like heaven spa or something) and take the elevator up to the top. It was quite a nice atmosphere with some live music. A nice place to take your guy. I ended up messaging J (from the beginning of my trip) because I wanted to give him another chance so I asked if he wanted to spend the night, and he said yes and would meet me later on, so after dinner I went back, had a shower etc, and he messaged me again saying that he forgot his mum was visiting and couldn't come. Never mind, I kinda knew that something like this would happen! Day 7: So today was my last day. I decided to move hotels as my flight was tomorrow and I didn't want to travel on the BTS during rush hour with my suitcase (plus I wasn't super into my current hotel). I ended up booking a room at Sukhon which is literally right outside the Phaya Thai BTS station. It's a relatively new hotel (opened last year I think), and it was clean and neat. I was on the 5th floor (top floor) and had views of the BTS station lol. Ganymede is quite close by so I decided to pay a visit. There were about 6 guys there on arrival and I chose a slightly muscular one (not sure why, as I'm more into the twinky types), but I did like his face. Showered alone down the corridor, went back to the room and the guy came in after a while. Massage was okay, was offered sex and asked him to f*ck me but he had trouble staying hard. Oh well, a handjob it was. Paid the 700 baht massage fee and minimum 1000 baht. Better luck next time I guess! Not that many options in terms of food around the Phaya Thai area but I found a relatively empty restaurant and had some curry chicken noodles. Day 8: The hotel provided a choice of American or Thai breakfast and I got the Thai option and it was quite delicious. Shortly afterwards, I walked to the airport link station (so close) and finished my time in Bangkok (I would then go to spend some time in Singapore then Bali). So all in all my trip was okay, I could have done a lot more (I just got really complacent and lazy), but I learn more every time I come here. I think for next time I'll stick to a bit of an itinerary so I can get stuff done, and in the meantime work on my health a little bit so that when I actually arrive, I'm not so tired all the time. I did get some offers from forum members to meet up, but I didn't end up arranging anything - so apologies and perhaps next time! I also didn't manage to go to any bars, to be honest I'm a little nervous, but I guess once I do it, it'll be easier and I won't be so scared! I have quite a bit of Thai baht left so I'm actually thinking about coming back in December and spending some time in Bangkok and Pattaya. I've already been looking at flights. I don't have much on during that time so I thought I may as well.. Thanks for reading, sorry it's not as steamy as other forum members reports, but it's what I can manage for now! xx

So I seemed to get tired quite a lot during this trip, and you are totally right - my current lack of exercise (and probably poor diet) contributes a lot to this. I really do admire you guys who can fit so much in a single day, where I literally do one activity then have to rest for ages! But I'll definitely be working on this so that I can get more out of my next trip.

Absolutely agree. I do agree, and I will admit that this is probably an area I could probably improve upon just so that we are on the same page really. I mean, yeah sometimes the stars align and things can happen organically, but communication definitely is important too. Yes! It was only my 3rd trip to Thailand, so I feel as though I'm slightly inexperienced with all of this, but I am learning a lot from you guys here in the forum! I'm just exploring what is not as easily accessible in my home country, and just want to have a good time, you know? Thailand is beautiful and I do want to come back soon. More to come soon.

Loving all of your replies to my original post! Will reply soon, but in the meantime.. Day 3: One of the places that I wanted to visit whilst I was in Bangkok was the new IconSiam, so I decided today would be the day for it. Caught the BTS to Saphan Taksin, and hopped on the free IconSiam river shuttle. The trip didn't take long at all and it was a nice boat ride on the river. Arrived and was quite impressed at how massive it was. The first time I went to Siam Paragon I thought that was pretty impressive, but this place just takes the cake. I always marvel at how they get the cars into the dealerships on the upper floors. Wandered around for a while, exploring each floor, before having some lunch at a Korean restaurant near the top floor. I remember in one of @vinapu's trip reports he mentioned an outside terrace outside the apple store, so after finding the apple store, walked through it and went outside and it was quite a nice view of the river and the city. I really do like a nice view. Continued to wander around and bought some clothes for myself that were on sale (also saw maybe a couple of you guys shopping with your Thai boyfriends), eventually got bored so I got the river shuttle back to Saphan Taksin, got on the BTS, somehow managed to go in the wrong direction, got off the train and on another and went to Sala Daeng because my feet hurt and I wanted another foot massage. I was going to go back to Rapee but I walked up and down the street and it was like it disappeared because I couldn't find it. Maybe I was just being blind or not looking hard enough, but anyway, I kept on walking down and came across Nakarat and just as well because the guys outside were quite nice looking. I ended up getting a 1 hour foot massage with the guy who accosted me (his name was bee I think). Walked up the million steps to the 3rd floor, and it was quite nice as I was the only one in the foot massage area. It was mid-afternoon after all. I did see a few guys come in and out. The foot massage was really good, he was quite strong, massage was 250 baht, paid the lady at the counter with a 500 and gave bee the change. I told him I would come back (but turns out that I didn't unfortunately). Couldn't be bothered walking back so I took the BTS to the next stop to Chong Nonsi to my hotel. Later in the evening I walked down the street and ate some kale and crispy pork at some random restaurant, after which I felt tired so I didn't bother going out. Day 4: Today I went across the road to King Power Mahanakhon and omg it was amazing. So I paid 689 baht entry fee (apparently cheaper on weekdays, and I saw some cheaper online promotions too), found out I couldn't bring my bottle of water up (bear that in mind for if you visit), went through the X-ray and into an elevator which was super fast and displayed some nice projections on the walls as it was going up. Off the elevator at the 74th floor which was the 360-degree indoor observation area which you could see all of Bangkok from every window. Every time I went to a different window it was like I was looking at something new. Before going up to the 78th floor, the staff gave me some cloth covers to put over my shoes, and a soft bag to put my bag in. Can't remember if I went up the stairs or the lift at the 78th floor, but when I got there, wow. The view was spectacular. Spent a lot of time just looking out at Bangkok. Eventually made it to the glass panel (once the crowd died down a little), and it was so cool. Since I went there by myself, I was a little worried about where I would leave my belongings as they don't provide any lockers or anything, but the soft blue bag that they gave me I could take onto the glass. I had one of the staff members take some photos of me. Just looking down 78 floors below was really something. I would've stayed on the glass a bit longer, but everyone had to get off as they needed to clean the glass. Highly recommended experience. When I left Mahanakhon I walked to Baantewa. I had a really good experience when I visited 3 years ago, so I was hoping for another good time. When I got there I had to go up the stairs (unlike when I visited 3 years ago I just went in the front door), and there were only 2 guys available. They were both cute so I just randomly selected one, and off we went. Showered alone at first, and the massage was okay. His clothes eventually came off, but afters was just a handjob. Last time I was offered the full service, but not today so it seems. Yeah I'm sure I could've communicated better what I wanted, but as I mentioned before, I just kinda go with the flow and see what happens. I mean, a handjob is better than no handjob I guess! Paid the 700 baht for the massage, and the 1000 minimum tip. Had a meal at Alphabet Cafe and Bar near my hotel, and later on another meal at Beef and Shake (also near my hotel). Didn't venture out again (as I was tired.. this becomes a pattern..)

Thank you for your reply wise guru @vinapu! Really sage advice, and will take on board next time. In these sorts of situations I kinda just want to go with the flow, and see what happens sorta thing. I'm a person who likes to avoid confrontation. But as you said: which I totally agree with. I just wanted to give it a shot, and it didn't quite turn out the way I expected, but then again partly my fault as I wasn't clear with my expectations (which I didn't have many as I wanted to go with the flow!) But food for thought definitely. I've already been back home for a couple of weeks now so all of the trip has finished, so more to come when I have a chance to sit down and type it out! @Nasherich Yeah I can imagine how awkward that may have been, I guess I was lucky with my guy who was living in Bangkok so he wasn't too far from home. But we all live and learn right?

Hi all. A bit of a trip report from my latest trip to Bangkok. It's not really that chock-a-block full of sexual escapades but hopefully there will be some interest! So a little back story - I went to Pattaya back in April and met a guy at Royal House whom I had a good time with. Let's call him J. So we kept in contact via line and I invited him to stay with me on my next trip to Bangkok (as he was now living in Bangkok). He was pretty excited, and often sent messages 'I can't wait to see you' etc. I on the other hand was a little trepidatious as my experience of Thai guys is limited to "massages" mainly, and in my home country I'm pretty introverted and prefer to be by myself most of the time, so inviting someone to stay with me was something quite different for me. But I just thought 'fuck it', I need to open up to new experiences and just see how it goes (which it didn't really).. read on to find out! Day 1: travelled from my home country to Singapore for a 6 hour stopover (love Changi Airport) around the hours of 2:30am - 8:30am. There's surprisingly still a lot to do there at stupid o'clock. I messaged J to let him know when I would be arriving and he said he would meet me at the airport, I said he didn't have to but he insisted. Landed at Suvarnabhumi at about 9:50am, immigration took ages, but my suitcase was already at the carousel as I got out. As I exited into the arrivals area, no sign of J, sent him a message and made my way down to the basement to exchange some money. I didn't know whether or not to wait, so I just waited a little bit and he messaged back saying that he was asleep. No problem, so I said that I would meet him later as I wanted to rest first. Took the airport link and BTS to Chong Nonsi where my hotel was - I Residence Silom. The hotel was okay, I probably wouldn't stay there again. It was a little run down and rough around the edges, and the bathroom was small, but they are doing some renovations and there are some newer rooms. Bit confusing at times are there are 3 different buildings that are not connected, but I think some of the floors are. Finding the breakfast room and the rooftop pool was a bit of an adventure, but I got there in the end. But the staff were really nice, location was really good (right outside the BTS Chong Nonsi), and sooo many places to eat nearby (restaurants, street food, etc), as well as a 7/11, King Power Mahanakhon across the road (which I will get to later), and Baantewa and Arena are walking distance. Getting to the Silom area is walkable or a very short train ride. Ate lunch at Lon Lon (very nice), and met J a little later in the evening. We met at Siam Paragon, had a bit of a wander, looked for something to eat, he wanted to eat at a Japanese seafood buffet for 1000 baht per person, I said no and told him I am not a rich farang, and ended up eating at Boon Tong Kee, which is a restaurant that I've eaten at in Singapore. Took the BTS back to my hotel, and this is where things started to become weird. So as soon as we got in, he was literally stuck to his phone. Like, I will admit that I spend a lot of time on my phone as well, but this just took the cake. I was in the bed, and he eventually came to bed (still on the phone) and I had to snuggle up to him to get 'things' started. It just felt like that spark that we had a few months ago wasn't there. I'm a pretty realistic person, I'm not expecting him to spend every waking moment with me, but at least put your phone down when I'm snuggling up to you and maybe give me a bit of attention? Anyway, after we finished I went to sleep because I was pretty tired, and he slept sometime later. Day 2: Shortly after waking, snuggled up to him, surprise surprise he was on his phone, but we got 'started' after I literally started jerking myself off, he got the picture. I respect these guys, they are people too, so I don't want to force him to do anything that he doesn't want to do, but then what do I get? Why are you even here? So anyway, today we took the BTS up to chatuchak market and wandered around for a few hours. Love this place, it's so big! I bought few clothes for myself, and I bought J some clothes as well, as well as lunch. Throughout the day I was thinking to myself, I don't want to spend the rest of the week with him, how am I going to break it to him gently. So we took the BTS back (him still on the phone, and nearly missed getting off the train as he was too engrossed with whatever he was playing), and when we got to the room he told me that he wanted to go back to his room to change clothes and get his ID, so I took the opportunity and told him that I wanted to spend a few days by myself and I would message him in a few days. He was okay with it, asked for 1000 baht to send to his mum, so I gave him 2000 baht because at this stage I wasn't sure it I was going to see him again. After he left I just felt kinda free. But I did think about it, what could I have done to make the situation better? Should I have spoilt him more? Should I have not smoked around him? Should I have just communicated better and let him know what I wanted? or was he just a dud? I don't know.. anyway, I wasn't upset or anything, just chalking it down to experience, and I'll do better next time. J did end up calling a little later asking if I was okay, and I said yes and just explained that I am not used to having someone with me all the time (I didn't tell him the real reason). A little later I went out to Silom Complex and ate at Bon Chon (really good fried chicken), bought some of those face masks that lots of Thais are wearing these days, and went across the road for a foot massage at Rapee. 250 baht and 200 baht tip because it was quite good. At the end he even did a bit of an arm, neck, back, and head massage, and even cracked my back, which I always think is hilarious for some reason when I hear all the popping noises. Day 3: to come soon!

I'm booked in to stay at the I Residence hotel, right in front of Chong Nonsi BTS, for my upcoming trip. Seems okay, has some mixed reviews, but has a rooftop pool. Some reviews even say that condoms are included in the room too lol. Will report back.

Nice report! It was great to read about your visits to Mahanakhon as I'm also planning to go there on my upcoming trip, and good tip about getting there early to avoid the crowds too.

This is probably mostly a useless reply but I will also be arriving in Bangkok on the 27th September and also going to Singapore later in my trip lol. Try out any hawker centres in Singapore for really good (and cheap) local food!

Whilst I cannot comment on the bars (as I didn't go to any), there were definitely at least 3 massage establishments all around the same area when I was there back in April.

Wow guys! Thank you so much for all of your replies! I will definitely take it all into account and do some research on everything suggested. Wasn't expecting to return to Thailand so soon after my April trip, but hey, nothing wrong with being a little indulgent from time to time lol.

Hi forum, So I will be visiting Bangkok in October (in amongst a couple of other south east Asian countries), and have invited a boy (whom I met in Pattaya earlier in the year) to stay with me for the 7 or 8 days I am there, which he is very much looking forward to. Apart from spending time doing the 'usual' and perhaps visiting chatuchak markets, siam paragon, etc, what would you recommend some other things to do to fill the days? Cheers!

Those two places were on my list of things to do but I didn't manage to get there this trip - probably next time though! Ahah thanks!
