It took me a year or so to realize I am retired and don't have to be home in 10 days to go back to work. After I got home from my first couple of trips after retirement, i found myself sitting in front of the TV or sitting by my pool, cleaning the condo or cooking dinner, then into bed at 10. Well I can do all that in Bangkok just as easily. The real plus side in Bangkok is at almost any hour I can run to the corner massage parlor or beer bar, and for $40 dollars have a bit of very hot, cute fun for a few hours. So to answer your question, yes, I am staying 30 days per trip now. It's such a long trip 30 days gives you time to recover before you leave. I'll be here till mid March, home till mid April and back to Bangkok April into May for another 30 days. I rent an apartment thru AIBNB. Been staying in the same place each trip. American size place with pool right outside my door. Close to everything. I love the pace of the city. As long as you stay off the roads during rush hour, taxis are cheap and easy. Just use sky train at rush hour. Getting older and figure have as much fun as I can till health says otherwise.

My thoughts exactly. IF I watch a boy cum on stage at 11:30pm, I'm not sure I would want to take him home either as I like them to cum when with me. Of course sometimes I forget that being 21 means you can probable cum several times a day. Those days were a long time ago for me. I'm not good at solving puzzles, but this boy came out with a mask completely covering his face. But he didn't cover any tattoos. Easy to match him up when on stage after show. There was only 1 boy and he sat on a small chair. Just stroked for a few minutes and shot well enough to see in the back rows. I give him an A for effort. Michael I wish you were here to. I learn a bit each time I meet up with you. I've always had a problem of sitting on my hands till it was to late and boy gone. I am much better of going for It right away now, thanks to you. My 2 closest friends are Vietnamese. They are both back in Vietnam for New Years. 1 will be back beginning of March. So I will be less on the prowl, unless it's for a 3rd. Well it's 7pm. Time to grab a bite to eat and then see what kind of trouble I can get into on a Saturday night.

I get a lot of enjoyment reading the trip reports that are posted here, so figure as boring as my trips can be to most of you, I'll try to share some of the better parts of my trip. I have an apartment about a kilometer down on Surawong from Soi Twilight. For the most part I don't do the sightseeing thing anymore, unless with friends that want to see something. But I'm a people watcher and enjoy being out in the hustle and bustle of the city. I flew in last Monday . Ft.Lauderdale-Dallas-Hong Kong-Bangkok. I was able to score a 1st class ticket for the round trip. I didn't sleep at all, so it took me a couple of days to pull myself together on arrival. I hang out at Hot Male on Soi Twilight a lot, as I'm close friends with some of the boys that work there. Most of my massages are at Adonis or Hero. On this trip I do want to try Prince. I'm here for a month, then back to the US for a month, then back to Bangkok for another month. So I don't need to to something everyday. Spend a lot of time by the pool reading ect. With Chinese New Year, found the city to be crowded, and Soi Twilight had some good crowds. Went to show at Hot Male last night. Place was close to being full. Drinks 350. Fucking shows are back since my last trip and they had a cum show last night that I hadn't seen before. I haven't been to Deam Boys in a long time and want to go to a show there, but think I'll wait till after the New Years crowds thin out a bit. Drinks at 500 is surely discouraging. Went to Dicks to eat a couple of times. Few people, but still more than when I was here in November. I was usually only customer. Last couple of nights Maxi was packed. Both good viewing spots though. So hopefully I have some good evenings to share. Been doing some note taking last few nights, and hope to do some interviews tonight Have my eyes on 2 boys, 1 Thai and 1 Lao. I think tonight is going to be a good one. I'm not good at posting, so I will do my best to keep this going.

A bit back, there was a discussion about the price of Viagra in a different forum. I couldn't find it, so I thought I would use my new trip to Bankgok as a place to post some info. I saw a posting somewhere if you were looking for Viagra in a regular chain pharmacy, you would need doctors prescription, but if you went to a small neighborhood pharmacy you might find it without prescription. I asked my friend at one of the bars on Soi Twilight about this. There is a pharmacy just across the street. He said no problem. I go over and get it for customers all the time. Just give me $48.00 for 4. He was gone 2 minutes and I had a box of 4. Compared to the $42.00 each Walgreens wanted, glad I waited. Interesting sidelight, when boys see you buying it, they become very frisky...hummmm Backing up a bit, I left Ft. Lauderdale for Bangkok last Monday. With all the cold and snow in the east (60's in Fl.) time to head for the warmer climes of the massage palors of Bangkok. As I get older each trip seems to get longer. I'm here for a month, so that helps that I don't need to run out the door and cram everything into a week. This has been a fairly busy Chinese New Years week here. I decided to just hang at Hot Male bar for the last 4 nights with my friends. Lots of Chinese taking off boys, so I decided to wait till after the weekend before dipping my toes into the boy pool. And a large pool it is. It's the end of the high season, so still lots of boys in town and temperatures are starting to warm up. Low 90 days, 78 or so nights. Went to a couple of the shows. With the government trying to install morals, shows have been all over the place. Wearing jeans on stage, no nudity, no fun. Right now things are ok. Underwear on boys, nudity during shows,fuck shows and last night saw a cum show, which I hadn't seen in the past. Drinks expensive. $10.50 upstairs and about $6.00 at outdoor bars. Except Boys Bangkok. Big place, packed every show. 100 boys. Something for everyone. But drink prices $15.00 It's taken me a few days to unwind, but I'm thinking I should take the Viagra for a test drive this evening. I was at Hot Male bar a couple of nights ago when 2 boys came in and started drinking beers. One of the boys was so hot, I just sat and watched him all evening. As he and friend got a very heavy buzz going, he was just a happy happy mess. He saw me staring (a bit) and kept smiling at me. I'm just hating life as the cutest boy I've seen since I got here is a customer. They leave and I told my friend, customer was hot and wish I could meet up with him. My friend says, he works down the street at a bar, no problem meeting. Stopped by last night and he was still all smiles, and it will happen sometime next week. So for now, it's off to the grocery for some stocking up, my late afternoon nap, and then hopefully something more meaningful to report after a Saturday night on the town.

If you want a good nailing at Adonis, ask for Ton. Nailing you is his specialty, massage only ok, but by the time he gets done with you, massage will be the last thing on your mind. I arrive in Bangkok Tuesday night, Adonis is my first stop on Wednesday.

I had to go to Walgreens today to pick some stuff up. I asked the pharmacist about this price increase. He said prices started going up a couple dollars a month starting last year. I'm interested in 100 mg . He said they are running between $40 & $45 each now. He said to go online and buy it from Canada where it is still around $20 ea. He blamed the price increases on drugs on Obamacare. I'm headed to Bangkok next week and did some googling and it appears to be around $15 there. So I'm going to wait till I get out of the country.

I've taken guys out of the country for 2 or 3 week trips. The added costs of airfares, hotels, food, ect, can add up to almost as much as the fee's

I ran into the same cost problem this week. I'm of to Bangkok next week, so I ask my doctor for a refill. He made a comment that the cost has gone up a bit this year. I got 10 for $225. a year ago. This time they wanted $350. for 8 . My insurance doesn't cover it either. So I politely declined. The price of having fun is going up.

TMax and Vinapu, did either of you use the jacuzzi features at Prince? I head to Bangkok in a couple of weeks and will be there for a month. The place looks really nice and I love jacuzzi's, especially when shared with a boy. I go to Adonis a lot, so can alternate sides of Sathorn a few times.

Several years ago I went to Cario and did a pyramids and museums sightseeing trip. I'm not a big museum person, but we did go to the Egypt Museum and saw the King Tut exhibition. It is one museum trip I still remember quite well. It's to bad so many problems politically in Cario, it's a fascinating city.

I live in Ft.Lauderdale so staying warm is not really a problem for me. But I am headed to Bangkok in a couple of weeks where it will be in the 90's or 30's in that other language.

On average Thais won't be as large as big Brazilians. But you would be quite surprised at what you will see at a Thai Big Cock show.

I just wish American would bring down the fares from Miami to Rio. The exchange rates and hotel prices have come back to making Brazil affordable. I was just looking at prices this summer, and they are asking $1800. to Rio. This will come down but it still ends up being about $1000. I just bought a ticket Friday from Miami to Bangkok and it $970. But the Rio flights are packed everyday so I guess you can't blame them for getting what people will pay. I to, love the 777W. I'm doing Dallas/Hong Kong in a couple of weeks in first. Done business several times and it's great.

Go to the Bangkok postings in the Gay Thailand Business section. Vinapua just did a great update of all the good massage places. I leave in a few weeks for a months stay and I'll have that section memorized before I leave.

If you want a great top, and massage. Go to Adonis and ask for Ton. He can't wait to start topping.

Need to get a calculator to keep up with this thread.

Christian, happy to hear what you said about discussing time and tip. I never talk about time or money. I consider myself as paying the average rates. I tend to like sleeping alone, so don't encourage overnights. I have a boy that now stays with me, my entire trip. When we met a couple years ago, he was always short time. This past spring he said he wanted to stay all night. I agreed and now I have a full time companion. I pay what I feel is the going rate. He has never asked for more. Before him, I never had a boy question what I gave him.

Boring or to long, are not words that I would used to describe your postings of your adventures. I looked forward everyday to reading how your day went. You do more in 2 days than I do when I am in Bangkok for a month. I leave in February for a months stay and hope to get out and about a bit more using a few of you suggestions .

They can hissy fit all night long with me, and throw in a bit of Sarcasm, I'll be all set for Christmas.

We're not talking China here. I don't totally disagree, but I live in So.Florida and have friends that can tell you horror stories of what has happened to them and their family and friends under the Castro government. If the Castros weren't in the picture, I think everybody would be jumping for joy. But for now, I'm going to side with my Cuban friends. I just want to see this announcement work for the little guys, not just politicians and big Corporations. If Cuba was such a great place to live, I would'nt see a boat load of refugees arriving on the beach at end of my street every week.

Well Zip glad to know you have such high esteem for repressive dictators who do nothing to help their people. Let's hope this is a step in the right direction, but I don't think you will see any visas given out to the average citizen at the new American Embassy. At least until the Castro government gets everything they can for themselves first.

I stayed at the Marriott 2 years ago for New Years. When I checked in, they told me dinner was mandatory. I said I was going out with friends and didn't want to be forced to pay for something I wasn't going to. They said it was ok, and I wasn't charged.

You just reminded me why I like retirement so much.

Jfarmer017....I have done the Dfw-Hkg-Bkk trip 3 times this year. All with business upgrades and the Cathay downgrade. You say you travel a lot for work , so maybe you have high status with AA? My point is, on all 3 trips, when I arrived at the Wing lounge, they had business class upgrades waiting for me. So keep your fingers crossed, and hope for a full coach section.

I think the "forced dinner reservation" is a victim of poor translation. When I stayed at the Marriott, nobody said anything about New Years dinner. Then I noticed flyers around the property and dropped off in my room a couple of days before the 1st. I went to the front desk and said no way was I going to have dinner at the Marriott and I would check out the next day. They told me that guests didn't need to have their dinner. That all the other property restaurants would be closed, so IF you wanted dinner on the property, this was your only option. I talked to a few people out by the pool the next day, and we were talking about the forced dinner. They all said they didn't go and were never asked or pressured to go.
