Ok back to the report.

That night coming up the lift a Japanese (i think) guy has TWO perfect twinks with him, as they left the lift one of them looked back at me with a smile and I was so tempted to ask what bar i need to go to tomorrow, but I decided not to. The guy taking them up seemed a little nervous because he hesitated getting in the lift with another hotel guest, so I didn't want to cause him any embarrassment, i shot a smile back and left them be, hoping I would see them later.

The morning was quiet, ST Laundry behind Silom complex 300 baht for a few KG of clothes wash and folded with next day pickup. I met up with a Thai friend that I met of Grindr year ago and used to hookup with but now we're more platonic friends, this turned into a few drinks before I ventured back to Patpong alone.

This is the night that some may have seen from my earlier thread. I was walking into Patpong for the first time in about a year, guided by the barkers and ushered to a seat. At the time when i sat down I started to wonder which bar am I in, this isn't the layout in my memory of Freshboys (it was freshboys), but at this point i was seated and eyes glued to the stage so didn't give it another thought.

On stage ~40 guys, I would class the majority as twunk and jocks (slim fit and toned) this night, I arrived 15 minutes before a show started and the small number of guys I would consider twinks added to my wonder if this was Freshboys. I called down #7, a 25 year old from Myanmar, we watched the first half of the show, discussed our evening activities and I offed him. The deciding factor for me calling him down was when he was on stage during the rotations he was playfully joking around with another guy on stage, he seemed to just be enjoying himself and had a very cute smile, a cute smile will get me every time.

Back to the room and I definitely had a win with my decision, he was not mechanical at all, had a very gentle and kind personality. I can take a while to cum but he seemed to enjoy every moment of it, he wasn't a powerbottom but he did have a good level of energy and we wrangled around in a few different positions before my days of built up cum finally emptied and we collapsed into each other. We spooned for a good 20 minutes just chatting while he showed me some photos of his Songkran on his phone, then he showered and got his tip and said he was off to see his friends for dinner.

He would have been a repeat for me, possibly even a LT, but we was not there by the time I got to Freshboys the following nights, so just the one great night with him.

This is where my trip went downhill, I woke up incredibly sick. At first i thought it was a hangover, I rarely drink so when I have a big night like I did at Winner then it does hit me hard, but it progressively got worse throughout the day.

I ventured out briefly to restock water and get some food for my stomach, only to be met with water buckets thrown at me and soaking me with freezing cold water. Again, I've got to say this only happened outside of the complex, inside the guys actually asked me first and i said no in english then attempted some thai "mai ao, mai ao, pwy", the bar girls were the ones that splashed first and asked questions later. 

It did frustrate me a little, I'm all for enjoying the sport of it but after that I just had to retreat back to my room and rely on Grab deliveries. The Russian family were now on the receiving end of a chesty coughing sound through the walls every 30 seconds all day and night.

I suspect i caught something on my flight and by the time the incubation period hit i was soaked with water for half a day and then drinking, so my immune system just gave up. This lasted the rest of the duration of my time in Pattaya, only on the day I was taking the bus up to Bangkok did i feel well enough to be outside again.

--skip forward a few days--

Roong Reuang bus from Jomtien to BKK, can't beat the value of 150 baht. Then Grab from the airport to Le Meridien, finally starting to feel better and back in the comfortable surrounds of one of my favourite hotels with Songkran all over in Bangkok, while Pattaya seemed to just be ramping up.

I stopped in at a pharmacy to get something to clear up the minor remaining cough and congestion, but I didn't feel sick anymore so off to explore.

I did the Surawong, soi 6, silom rd then back through thaniya rd massage loop. plenty of guys on offer, but I wasn't quite up for extras yet so I got a vanilla massage at Urban Thai.

I did notice the new 9-teen on the Surawong end of Soi6 but every time I walked past there were just one or two guys sitting on the tables opposite, I wasn't sure if there were more indoors? Along that route there must have been 100+ guys to pick from, it really was tempting with a few, but not yet, just scouting.

-cont

I did a bit of an evening stroll around the complex and down to Dongtan beach and back, the blue water barrels starting to form along the roads, the water gun sellers displaying their wares.. it's coming.

I made my way back to agate and I put my head on the pillow, then suddenly the sounds I fear most.. screaming child and loud Russian family in the adjacent room.

This is the second stay in a row with the same issue here, I don't blame the hotel (or anyone really), but I'm not going to bring a bunch of twinks through my room and pound away when there are literal children on the other side of the wall. If they can hear me as clearly as I can hear their every move then it's just not something I'm comfortable with. I don't think I'll stay at Agate again, next time I'll go back to Poseidon, The Venue or East Suites.

Anyway, the next day after a run along the beach i perched at O'Delicies, this is my favourite coffee spot in the complex, the food is decent and coffee is ok. I like that they enclosed the balcony section of the cafe, it's much nicer to watch the Soda boys arrive in the comfort of aircon.

After eating and a short rest I went back to Soda, I had round 2 with the same guy, the second time is always the best in my opinion, no wondering from either of us what we want and things move in a nice motion. 

By the time I was making my way out to get one of the plastic protective pouches for my phone it had already begun, buckets of water coming my way when I got out to Thrappraya Rd. Holding my phone and trying my best to dodge the bar girls I got the pouch and headed back to the safety of the complex. I've got to say the guys in the massage shops and generally the patrons in our little gay enclave were more respectful in taking 'not right now' 'no' 'please no powder'.

Well I was soaked, shoes and all, I wasn't prepared for what time it starts, i headed headed back to Sophia's at sundown for dinner, this time for the pork, before making my way to Winner Boys in Sunee.

It's been tough times in Sunee for a long time now, but chatting with the owner at Winner it sounds particularly hard at the moment. Building owner has decided to raise rents, high season wasn't quite as high. I did my part and rang the bell all night to give back to the bar that has given me some of my best nights in Pattaya, there's not many places left that have actual guys on stage in underwear with hands on activities possible. I hope things turn back around.

Back to Agate drunk and clinging to the back of motosai for dear life, greeted once again with sounds of the Russian family next door.

This trip report might just boil down to a few posts, the reasons for not as much to report will become evident soon enough.

Leading up to this trip let me indulge you in some context with a brief a life update: I had just recently ended things with a guy I was dating for the past few months back in farangland, it was messy and I always find it incredibly difficult to tell someone I don't want to continue with them, but it had to be done. To add to things on the home front, my work have unfortunately realised I'm more capable than I like to let on, so there has been stress coming from that direction as well.

Do you know what I need, a nice little getaway to 'surround myself in the culture' of Thailand, again. I've almost given up on trying to explain away these trips at work now, they surely know whats happening.

-begin

A jump, skip and hop via Changi and I am shoes on the ground in BKK Swampy, Exit 4 to my Nams taxi sedan and then we're pushing down the highway by 11am to Jomtien, 1200 baht to the driver, early check-in allowed by Agate, everything is coming along nicely.

It's been about 9 months since I've been back in Thailand, even longer since I was last in Jomtien complex (end of 2023). There have been some changes, some bars have new names around the horse shoe, the soi with Sophia's has had some minor cosmetic enhancements and a barber shop, Soda still exists so that's my first stop at about 1pm or so when the boys show up.

My last encounter at Soda when I gave my line to the guy things escalated a little too quickly for my taste, so I hadn't been back to Soda since incase I find myself under attack.

Did I learn from this mistake, no, but thankfully after I reluctantly gave my Line to the new guy this time he didn't give me the same treatment and the guy from before doesn't appear to be there anymore. This Soda guy was very sweet, not much English but we don't need the formalities of spoken language to engage in our interpretive dance. With a warm release from both he and I leaking down onto the massage table we're done and a nice tip exchanges hands.

I head back to my room to freshen up and then as the sun goes down I venture back out to Sophia's for one of my favourite meals in the area, this may be controversial but I rate her chicken cashew above the Patpong institution we all know and love. Enough blasphemy for the first post, i'll be back to continue later.. the beginning of Songkran (D-DAY)

I have thought about this a lot recently.

I've been a P4P guy since my early-mid 20s (now mid-late 30s) and it's never really been about not being able to get it for free, paying just provides more opportunities with less time wasted, rather than just being another horny guy on the apps begging for a taste.

I travel specifically for the purpose of exploring P4P and cruising spaces, I find it more honest to just offer an exchange rather than going on dates that I have no intention of following up on just for sex when i'm in other countries. 

I do sometimes date outside of the P4P scene, but recently i've been thinking that if i'm going to get in to a long-term relationship they might need to share the same hobby as me. 

I don't date from bars, but from my experience with every group of gay guys i've ever met. It will turn into a problem, jealousy, and headaches for you. Tread carefully if you like the bar and/or the guy.
