Bangkok - part 3
I am back home already so this is the last part of my trip. Stayed in some hotels I haven't stayed at before, met some new boys as well as rekindled with some old ones, and I was fortunate enough to hang out with Vinapu 3 times! We started our nights having a drink at the front of Banana bar before heading off to a gogo bar.
Hotels
Ibis Styles Silom - I had a decent stay here. It is fairly new and quite clean, however the rooms are a little on the smaller side. The room layout is also quite interesting with an absolutely massive shower, and then the bathroom sink on the outside. It seemed to work though. I was on the highest floor of the rooms and had a nice view of a carpark. At least I had an outside view as the rooms on the other side of the floor faced towards the 'atrium' so they would have received no natural light. They are guest friendly with no-one batting an eyelid when bringing your gentleman of the evening. Would I stay again? Probably not, but it was worth giving it a try.
Le Meridien - It was a highlight to stay at this hotel. From the get-go, the level of service and hospitality was unmatched compared to everywhere else that I stayed. I booked direct and had the Marriott Bonvoy app installed on my phone and they sent a notification when my room was ready - which happened to be at around 11:30am which meant I could just pop over from Ibis Styles without having to wait around. The app also allowed me to unlock my room without using the card. The room was huge and well-appointed and this hotel also is guest friendly. I had a 'beef brisket burger' from the restaurant downstairs, which is something I wouldn't normally get, but it was actually really delicious. Normally I would say that Crowne Plaza is my favourite in the area, but I think Le Meridien might just take the cake. The only reason I would choose Crowne over Meridien is the proximity to the BTS/MRT and also it is on the 'correct' side of Surawong Road.
Bars
Dreamboys - I've been here countless times so nothing much more needs to be said, and I ended up taking back my regular from here who I've known for a few years. I like him and we are comfortable with each other, but I get the feeling sometimes that he is becoming a little complacent in his efforts. The show was pretty standard, and there was another boy that I liked but as soon as I mentioned it, another customer took him off straight away. Have to be quick!
Hotmale - It was a quiet night when I visited, but the show went on. Since there weren't many customers (and at one stage I was the only one), when the big cock show came around, I tipped them all (there were only 4 guys). Most of the guys I could have gone with and whilst choosing, I asked the papasan who can top AND bottom, and he pointed out only 2 guys who I then decided to call both down and have a drink. Turns out they are both Cambodian. Whilst trying to make up my mind as to who to take, it was suggested that I go with both but I didn't really want to risk an awkward encounter in case things didn't quite work out. I ended up choosing the guy that sat on my right as he was a little more playful, had more tattoos and kissed better, and the guy on my left was just very slightly fem, which isn't a bad thing but just not my thing right then. Turns out that I had made a good choice as the chemistry back in the bedroom was definitely there. Absolutely will repeat for next time.
Moonlight - It was a quiet night at this bar with a few customers, but the show went on anyway, which as you probably already know, is pretty tame. The floor boys I probably could have gone with any of them, they were all pretty attractive, but I didn't that night. The models - a little too big for my personal taste, but attractive anyway. There was a guy that I had been with in the past, and Vinapu had also been with, and I had a selfie of him and me which I showed Vinapu and he told me to show the guy, so I did and he was pretty bewildered, I don't think he remembered me at all lol. There were also a couple of guys sitting near us that I think had bottle service and later on in the night one of the guys I think had passed out and his friend had to carry him out.
Atlas - This was great fun. All the staff knew Vinapu as he is quite famous in these parts. The night started with one of the guys giving me a massage (I remember him from Tawan), and then the show which featured many appendages but no fuck show this time. The lady boy show at the end was absolutely hilarious though - made me laugh out loud. There was one guy that looked vaguely familiar so I invited him for a drink and turns out that I had offed him a year ago when he worked at what was then called Screwboys. He was really angling for an off, and gave me a boner right there in the bar, but I wasn't looking for company that night. I also bought another guy a drink who had a Muay Thai body and abs of steel, however he was very oily lol. He was pretty friendly and told me not to forget him next time I come. Earlier in the night there was a cute (masked) asian guy (customer) that sat quite close next to me even though there were many vacant seats in the bar. Overall, it was a really fun night with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Yes the boys are mostly huge, but there is a variety that would cater to all tastes.
Other
Massage - the only massage I had was an outcall. Earlier in my trip I had gone to Senso hoping to see a particular masseur that I had in the past, but he wasn't working there anymore. Luckily I had his Line contact so I contacted him and turns out that he works freelance at Prince and Jey Spa but would be happy to come to my hotel room. So I booked him to come visit me and we had an excellent and versatile time.
Pattaya boy - this guy that I had met in Jomtien who gave me a bit of a boyfriend experience was trying to get me to come visit his hometown (about an hour outside of Bangkok) but since I had already paid for my hotels in Bangkok, I wasn't keen. He then wanted to visit me in Bangkok so I agreed for only 1 night, which he was happy with (I really am not a fan of long-time). We ended up having some drinks at Valour in Silom soi 4 (I had a huge gin and tonic that was served in a red wine glass) and we went to Silom soi 2 later in the evening, to DJ station, or at least to a bar in that general vicinity, not sure if it is all DJ Station. He seemed to know many of the staff there, and my body was already saying no, so I left him there to have fun (which he was completely fine with) and I went back to the hotel to sleep and he rang me later on when he was ready to come back. This guy is getting a little too attached to me, and I do like him too, but I have been trying to cool it a little because I cannot return the feelings back that he seems to have for me. He's a good guy though, really sweet. In the morning we went to foodland, and funnily enough he got the farang breakfast whilst I had a rice soup.
Sexual health clinic - if you are looking to get tested, I would recommend Pribta Tangerine Clinic, which is in the Chamchuri building, close to Sam Yan MRT. I think it is cheaper than the more popular Pulse clinic. It is really well-run and pretty efficient. The clinic is very clean and neat and all the staff speak English. It was pretty busy when I went though. The results were emailed to me a few hours after I had left. Here in my home country, it takes a few days at least.
So that marks the end of my 2 month trip. I have never taken a holiday this long before, but I am glad that I gave it a try. There were times where I was done and felt like coming home, but towards the end I needed more time! I got lazy often and was always saying 'I'll do it tomorrow' but then there were no more tomorrows left! But all in all I had a great time, and even got to meet with a few lovely forum members. This trip I also noticed more and more people thought I was Thai, which has happened in the past, but not to this extent. I take it as a compliment though. I'm planning my next trip for maybe a year's time, but who knows, the temptation may become too great and I will find myself back sooner rather than later. Thanks for reading!
