Thanks for sharing! Hanging out with various forum members is always a fun time!

I've been following these guys on Instagram for a while, if this all goes ahead, it could really be a game changer.

Yes, agreed!

Our @vinapu has spoken about this hotel numerous times, not sure how you managed to miss this.

I also have had Pepper Lunch at Silom Complex

As an option later in the evening, even if satisfied earlier, a good time is usually had by going to the bars without the intention of off-ing anyone. Just have a drink with a guy or two, watch the show and see a bunch of dicks 😅

In Patong, if you walk on the street leading up to the Royal Paradise hotel, there are numerous male massage shops to your left and right. Take your pick and have fun!

As in you were hanging off an actual cliff?

Absolutely. My preferred crowd is late 20s to late 30s. They generally know what they are doing.

Thank you for mentioning your walk around Angkor Thom - this sounds great and definitely something I would like to do next time I am in Siem Reap. Would have never discovered this activity if not for this forum!

Wow it's getting a little pricey now. The last time I went to Senso, which is more than a year ago now, the all-in price (if I remember correctly) for 1.5 hours was 3300 THB. I've always had a good time there however.

Very unlike you to have tonic with your gin

It's always when you least expect it! G's isn't open for lunch, only dinner (from 16:00 according to google maps) Was this at their old location (in Patpong) or the new location closer to the river? I just had a look at google maps and it says they are permanently closed?! I really hope this is not true!!

I wish them all the best and I do hope that they will be open during my next trip in a few months as I will definitely patronise.

I try to book direct when I can, even if slightly more expensive, but when there is this much of a price difference, it's really a no-brainer.

Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures. Glad to have been a small part of your trip - may our paths cross sooner rather than later!

I've been stung by this before, but my fault for not negotiating the tip beforehand. Took a Jupiter guy back to my hotel for short time and when it was all finished (which tbh was average at best), I went to give him 3000 but he then told me his rate is 5000. As I'm relatively small and the guy was bigger than me, I didn't want to escalate the situation or cause a scene so we settled at 4000. From then on, I now check with guys (that are new to me) their tip expectations to avoid surprises like that.

Thanks for sharing. That room looks like the one I stayed in a few weeks ago. I had originally booked one of the standard rooms but didn't realise how small it was so I upgraded the next day and I was happy with all the extra space. But then again, your stay was considerably longer than mine. Your 'afternoon attraction' I have seen walking up and down soi 4 quite a few times. Never met him, only seen him in passing but good to know he is a nice guy.

I remember Guido talking about this when myself and other forum members were at dinner at G's a few weeks ago. Glad to see it's taking shape. He mentioned that the new premises is quite large!

I strongly agree with this and it could be due to any multitude of reasons. But the guys that you meet that you do get along with more than make up for it. Once you find these gems, hold onto them dearly!

Wow! His body type is a little bigger than I would usually go for but he is really sexy, and I like his face 😍

Last I heard, Babe charges 8000. Probably has increased now I would imagine.

The heavily tattooed appeal to me 100%! 😍

Apart from New Guy Bar (https://maps.app.goo.gl/5vNTKjUMffYTFyZz5) which you already mentioned, I also found Buddy Boy Bar (https://maps.app.goo.gl/sKXWJSAP1at4xfw88) which is quite close to the train station. In terms of the Shangri-La, since it is my first time there, I found everything excellent from the staff to the rooms. I can only compare it to Shangri-La in Sydney and Fiji though. I didn't try any of the restaurants or breakfast at the hotel (preferring to eat out), the level of staff engagement I found quite high from the doormen when I arrived to the staff at the check-in counter and even though the rooms can feel a little dated, there is still a level of luxury. I would have to agree with the river view - I liked it a lot.

Thanks for the update @Department_Of_Agriculture, it's looking great and I'm glad the reopening is coming to fruition. Chok dee to them!
