Popular Post vaughn Posted April 27 Popular Post Posted April 27 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) ichigo, stijntje, a-447 and 8 others 11 Quote

I did not even know it existed or where it is located within the complex. I will give it a try when I am back in Thailand. vaughn 1 Quote

In my workimng days I always told folks I'm going to a country where my sister lives. I they were curious how come I came with tan in the middle of the winter I had answer ready " I went skiing for few days with my brother in law" ................ I know the pain of giving Line to overactive guy and now when going for massage I conveniently "forget" my phone .

Popular Post ichigo Posted April 28 Popular Post Posted April 28 Sophia's is great! This is crispy pork with kale. As it is open air, smoking is also allowed (if you are that way inclined). And even better, it is situated in front of Burirom Massage so you can 'study' the guys working there. bkkmfj2648, vinapu, 10tazione and 2 others 5 Quote
Popular Post vaughn Posted April 28 Author Popular Post Posted April 28 -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.

I stuck my head in there last time and there were only 3 guys, I intended to go back to see one of the guys but never did and I regretted not doing so, mostly to spend some money there to help the owner and of course to see the guy I was interested in, but time goes too fast when visiting 🥺 vaughn 1 Quote
Popular Post vaughn Posted April 29 Author Popular Post Posted April 29 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. FunFifties, vinapu, khaolakguy and 4 others 6 1 Quote

However, the suites have a connec door which allows some noise to penetrate, especially, if there are screeching Chinese females next door. I had to speak to reception!

Popular Post vaughn Posted May 2 Author Popular Post Posted May 2 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.

vaughn Posted May 4 Author Posted May 4 The next night I walked back up Patpong and the touts happily proclaimed "you're back" pointing at Freshboys, so that solved the mystery of where I was last night. Still I don't know why i remember the bar differently, but who knows, maybe early onset dementia. Tonight I let them know I would come back, but I decided to check out Dream Boys. I arrived at about 10pm, probably 5-6 other customers. They had quite a big lineup that alternated on stage between the hunkier guys and the twunk/twinkier guys (not as many twinks), my estimate would be 30 guys total. It was my first time being in this location, I like the layout, the mamasan wasn't pushy and they had a large variety. Most guys on stage were shirtless, but not a lot were my type, the main guy I would have considered was wearing a button up shirt on stage (I think the only one that did) and I didn't want to call him down because of that. I stayed for a few rotations but decided to check bin and get to freshboys again to see tonights lineup. Back up the stairs and into the guiding hands of the male mamasan, seated in the same spot as last night. One thing that is a bit annoying about this seat is the pillar obstructing my view, but the bar was busy again so seating was limited. I like the male mamasan here, he noted my pick from last night and let me know he's not here tonight but gave me a list of numbers for guys I might like, not pushy, not asking for drinks, just helpful. He advised 35 guys left tonight, 7 were already off. During intermission for the show I called down another guy, he was a performer in the second half so he asked if it's ok to wait for him to finish the show, no problem. The problem during the second half is a waiter had set eyes on me as a mark and asked for a drink, ok one drink no problem, but every 5 minutes from then until my off got back to his seat this waiter was asking for drinks for someone else, mama (the other mamasan), his friend, him, he must have asked 6-7 times and all answered with no. That got quite annoying, so as soon as the guy I offed came back I checked bin. When I checked bin the mama sat there scrutinising my tab for a few minutes, it almost seemed like she was looking for something or thought I had removed a slip, really left a sour taste that night after the drinks harassment. On the way out, the waiter was back asking for a tip lol, no thanks. I walked a few steps and slipped the guy mamasan a tip, he was helpful, never asked for anything and easy to talk to. The guy I offed was 23 from Cambodia and his performance in the show gave me some hope for a good time ahead, in bed he wasn't bad but he couldn't handle it for long, he said he was new to the bar so maybe not as experienced. We had to finish up in 69, he was good at that so no complaints. BL8gPt, vinapu, Ruthrieston and 1 other 4 Quote

I doubt he is available for off. The number tag is just for fun. The mama (your description! Lol) has number tag 99. vaughn 1 Quote
