Even the doctors that said he was ill last time got into trouble.

Thanks Peter, yes I believe a longer stay will help make up for the lost time 👍

So I had this plan to return to Bangkok this November but unfortunately that plan is now out the window as upcoming surgery and a lengthy recovery will rule that out until at least mid 2026 or even later. On the bright side, if all goes well I get to ponder on next year's trip and will become a massage parlour junkie once again, there will still be a restriction on the massage due to the area of surgery but to be honest the massage will only be a warm up for the extras fun. Dreaming of the fun times and those brown bodies for now 😴

Not surprised in the least. Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, list MP and leader of the People's Party (PPLE), revealed at the parliament building on Wednesday morning (September 3) that the party had decided that if a parliamentary session is held to vote for a prime minister, the PPLE would support Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, for the position. However, Anutin would need to agree to the party's conditions. Of course he will agree, for now, then he will turn on them 😒 And Pheu Thai Party secretary-general Sorawong Thienthong said on Wednesday morning that caretaker Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai had already submitted a draft royal decree for House dissolution for the King to sign. Sorawong, who is also the caretaker tourism and sports minister, stated that Phumtham sent the draft decree for the royal command on Wednesday morning after the People’s Party declared its resolution to support Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul as the next prime minister.

Yeah that's pretty much my thoughts too, maybe some not so fun times ahead

It looks like her daddy is still trying to pull the strings behind the scene though.

For me there are two times both equally memorable (both mentioned in my series of firsts posts) and both that will be with me for ever, the first was my very first m2m sexual encounter in Phuket that was a real eye opener and one hell of a climax (I still think of it quite often). The second was my first 4 hands massage (3 some), nobody had ever even seen me holding hands with another guy let alone having sex with one but having one watch me having sex with the other guy was a real delight, then he joined in which topped it off rather nicely. Lately I have been thinking about my next trip in November and am keen to try something other than the massage shops, if it's anywhere near as good as I'm thinking it will be a new long term memory.

I have never used nor will I use any of those booking sites, I always prefer to deal either directly with the airlines and hotels or as with my last trip used my local Flight Centre travel agent (yes I was in a lazy mood and had them book the flights and hotel). At present Trivago is flooding our TV channels with what I call bullshit adverts, they compare prices with a website hotelleap.com, I searched for that website and it seems to not exist as a hotel booking site. Back in 2022 Trivago was found guilty of making misleading representations about hotel room rates on its website and television advertising (link below) so there's no chance I would use them. A friend had no end of trouble using another of those companies some time ago which started me thinking negatively about them. Trivagos misleading charges

A couple of my old photos taken a while back in Ayutthaya, I do love old ruins and reading about the history of them.

I've been there twice now, both day trips. The first was just a road trip and was quite good but I was glad to get back to Bangkok as the seating in the van wasn't as comfortable as I would have liked. The second trip was much better, I booked it at the small travel agent that used to be at the Surawong end of Soi Thaniya (such a pity she's not there anymore) and was run through Tourism Authority of Thailand. The journey down was quite good and was via Bang Pa In but the journey back was even better, we left Ayutthaya to a pier by bus and then had a pleasant river boat trip back to Bangkok (including a delightful lunch on board). Now that was before covid but I felt just a day trip was sufficient for me, I can't say whether the TAT still has that trip going or not. Found this website that has a very similar tour Ayutthaya day tour

I've only encountered sniff kisses in the massage shops but just wasn't my thing

Those sniff kisses just don't work for me, I much prefer nice deep kisses with tongue action but hygiene still is a priority even for kissing (no bad breath yuk) 😋

I wasn't too sure about sharing this but here goes, everyone has their series of firsts so here's mine (as boring as it is) A series of firsts: First inkling of an interest in m2m sex: I had never even had a single thought on m2m sex until I was 17yo (a horned up 17yo at that) and pleasuring myself whilst looking at a porno catalogue. I got to the gay pages at the back and had an amazing climax looking at 2 guys having a 69. That one episode had planted the seed in my mind and it stuck there. First m2m sexual contact: I was 41 (yes it took that long to get up the courage to try it) and on holiday in Phuket, after many years and thoughts about what it would be like I finally had the courage to cut the cake, the massage was good and when it was done he offered me a bj which I finally said yes too. It was the best climax I had ever had and was convinced I liked the m2m contact and every trip to Thailand after that I have indulged in it. First m2m kiss: now kissing another guy had never been a turn on to me at all until one night in Phuket (where else), a rather gorgeous twink was giving me a massage and he started kissing me and I must admit he was one of if not the best kisser I had ever encountered. From that point on I rather like and expect kissing when with another guy, especially when in Thailand. First time sucking: first time I sucked a cock was at Bonny massage (soi Twilight) and was very much a new and enjoyable experience, there have been many more episodes since then. First bottoming: was actually a ladyboy, he/she introduced me to something new and it was something I liked very much. Thankfully he/she took it gentle to start with which to me added to the pleasure of the experience, the cock was long and thin. First big cock: Adonis massage and WOW, when he stepped out of the shower and slipped his towel off I was amazed at the size and wondered what it would be like to tackle it (and a fair bit scary looking at the size) I didn’t have to wonder for too long and he certainly new just how to drive it too. First 3way: this was at Nine Spa over Sukhumvit way with a 4 hands massage, since then I have enjoyed many enjoyable 3ways at massage shops, only one disappointing 3way experience has happened but it’s to be expected that not all encounters will be perfect. At this age I am still experiencing new things and the massage boys in Bangkok for the most part have been very good teachers / partners, the very best time was at Senso in 2018 when 2hrs of massage turned into 2hrs of delightful bliss😊 Maybe one day I’ll get into the bar scene but for now the massage boys in Bangkok will keep me very happy, hopefully Nov / Dec will be a new episode 😊

I just remembered a decent massage shop that has been lost to all but memories now, Body Club (from memory was just off Sukhumvit soi 8 ?), I had some very enjoyable times there with some rather cute guys with hot bodies and very decent cocks. It moved way down Sukhumvit rd but unfortunately was never the same and died off

Here's my boring short list but can't add dates Bar: Hotmale on soi Twilight, I don't usually frequent the gay bars but this one was quite good for a cold beer and watching the world pass by Massage: a hard one but Adonis on soi Convent would be #1, massage was hit and miss but the boys there had big hard cocks and knew just how to hammer someone into the mattress Massage 2: Nine Spa over Sukhumvit 31, most memorable for some delightful 3 ways there

Haha definitely the Vinapu calendar 😂

Nice, looks like Soi 6 could be twice the fun for me on my next trip (hopefully November)

I did read something about it in the Bangkok post and The Nation a short while back but it did state for Thai Nationals so I guess we will have to wait and see what comes out officially with regards to expats. The Nation on tax break

I'm very much into military history so although I have read many books over the years I have concentrated on military history for the last 20 odd years, in part as I was army and on both my parents sides there is military going way back to the Peninsula Wars (way back in the early 1800's). Stealth Raiders by Lucas Jordan: The sheer courage of the Aussie Diggers in 1918, raiding the enemy lines at night in small numbers and creating a sense of terror amongst the enemy troops. Batavia by Peter Fitzsimons: Set way back in 1629 when the ship Batavia, the pride of the Dutch East India company ran aground off the coast of Western Australia, about mutiny, survival, heroism and retribution, although I had been taught about this in school I didn't realise just how hard and brutal it was for the survivors. One Crowded Hour by Tim Bowden: Covers the story of Australian combat cameraman Neil Davis and his work throughout the Vietnam war and alas his coverage of the 1985 coup attempt in Bangkok where he and Bill Latch (his American soundman) were killed. On Desperate Ground by Hampton Sides: Covers the US Marines on their battles from Incheon harbour through to the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, was a very interesting read as to how the operation was set up and carried out and the many acts of bravery by the marines. Gallipoli by Peter Fitzsimons: As an Aussie this WW1 campaign has always been of interest and more so that my mothers father was there from the start to the finish and luckily survived, even of more luck he was repatriated to Australia after evacuation from Gallipoli as he contracted pneumonia and was later deemed unfit for service. After Gallipoli his unit was split up and they were sent to the western front, the division that his unit was assigned to was involved in some of the biggest battles fought by our troops. Sorry more than one sentence on that one.

I'm not too sure how things would have turned out if it wasn't for a money boy in Phuket (from memory about 25 years ago), he was my first M2M sex. For some years I had often had thoughts / fantasies about M2M sex but never had the courage to do anything about it, there was a few opportunities but that lack of courage got in the way of. On a trip to Phuket I went for a massage and at the shop there was only the male attendant available so I said yes to him doing the massage, after the massage he asked if I wanted extras and that was the moment I finally said yes and what transpired after that was amazing, the rest is history and every trip I take now I love the massages with extras and don't mind paying (even a bit more if the extras are very good). Of course I still had to overcome the hesitation (embarrassment) of standing in front of the massage boys during the selection process and indicating what I wanted, there is still a bit of that when there are so many boys lined up for me to choose from but I do manage to get through it now.

For me it's less hassles, I do like short hassle free encounters, I don't chase it in my home town as there's not that many guys that take my fancy plus being deep in the closet doesn't help a lot either (that's a whole different story). I can wait for a holiday to Thailand or elsewhere and there I like it short and sweet via the massage shops, plus the extended break helps build up the excitement and expectations. Maybe next trip I might try a bar (not really my scene and mamasans annoy me no end) and take a boy back to the hotel for some overnight fun and experimentation, I do like trying new things from time to time. Not too fussed with using the apps either, I do prefer the first contact to be face to face and go from there. Yes I agree with that and it's much like how I've done things so far

I second this laundry, used it on my last trip and found their service very good and at a very reasonable price, just dropped off in the morning and collected next day.

I prefer direct flights from Perth to Bangkok and return rather than short stopovers like with Singapore Airlines (I do like SIA and fly them to other destinations or if on my Thai trip I want to do a few days in Singapore) which means Thai Airways although their flight times can suck a little, depending on the day and to get the early flight I have to leave home at 4am to drop the car off and get to the airport (an hours drive away). The Perth-Bangkok will leave either at 9:25am and gets in at a reasonable time but alas then it's peak hour in Bangkok (the train then is packed to the rafters too) and getting to the hotel takes ages, then there's the 4:35pm flight which gets in late at night and for me that means get to the hotel and rest up (I am not a late night owl). The return is either 12:01am which is quite good for a snooze on the plane and gets in nice and early so I can pick up the car and drive home (an hour away) or there's the 7:25am return flight that gets in mid afternoon but the traffic on the way home truly sucks big time. I believe there is one other direct airline in Jetstar but you would have to be seriously desperate to fly with them, late departures (worse than Thai) or even worse cancelled flights as has happened to friends seems to be a regular thing with them, plus they are part of Qantas and they just plain suck. Now days I also prefer to sit up the front in a more comfortable seat, less stress on my spine too so I will happily pay the extra

Yeah no surprises with Changi coming in at number 1.

It's good to see Nine Spa is still producing the goods, when I first went there I printed out their directions on how to get there from BTS Phrom Pong and gave them to the motorbike taxi rider who then proceeded to get lost and took me on a tour before finally arriving (lucky I went earlier just in case and now I know it's easier to walk from the BTS). On one trip there I tried their 4 hands massage, which was very good and the afters even better.
