If I could be with forum member for the rest of the evening, I would do so because I enjoy his company and we have had memorable adventures in the past.

But my guy was waiting for me at 5.30pm after he finished work. We met and took a taxi to Rajendaram Stadium to watch Muay Thai. Our first time. I bought the cheapest seats at 1000 baht each which was free seating at the top level of the stadium. But it still provided a good view of the Muay Thai matches. The first match was at 7pm and the last match ended just before 10pm. My guy enjoyed himself tremendously. There were 3 KOs that Saturday night. Crowd was 90% foreigners, mostly Western tourists with some Asians. My guy and I made 100 baht bets on the matches against each other. He managed to pick the winners correctly. After muay thai, we took taxi back to hotel. We had an intimate two hours together then we went out for supper at 1am Foodland with forum member.

While at Foodland, I saw a guy from Freshboy walk past outside the window. I waved to him and he came in to join us for supper. He's a popular guy and gets offed often. But tonight, he didn't get an off surprisingly. My guy had an enjoyable chat with him while I enjoyed looking at his very handsome face. At 2am, we said goodbyes to each other and so ended a memorable Saturday in Bangkok. 

There were Muay Thai shorts for sale at the souvenir shop. I asked my guy if he would like a pair. He said no after finding out they cost between 1200 to 2000 baht. "I can buy in Patpong market. Cheaper."

At one time here, all waiting staff in restaurants, bars and clubs

had to wear name or number badges (straight or gay).

Muay Thai fighter bodies are probably one of my most favourite type of bodies 🤤😍 delicious!

The 1,000 baht seats at Rajadamnoen are actually the most fun of all as that is where the local Thai gamblers sit. That is where you will have the most raucous and authentic experience, as opposed to sitting among the foreigners. Note though, that the quality of the fights defers greatly depending on the day that you go to Rajadamnoen, as different promoters have their events on different days. The worst one are on Monday and , which features a lot of lower quality fighters, including foreigners who have come to Thailand to train. Not worth it.  Tuesday is so so.

On Wednesday, you have the Palangmai promotion, which is good and quite traditional. 

On Thursday, you have the Petchyindee promotion, which often has good fights, but has a very modern format, with a live DJ and is very popular with foreigners.

Saturday is the Rajadamnoen World Series (RWS) which often has well-known fighters, but has a modern format.

Sunday has the best and most traditional fights by the Suek Kiatpetch promotion. If you want to watch old school Muay Thai, go on Sunday and get the 1,000 baht tickets.

it confirms that Foodland is an excellent observation deck when comes to working boys ( and girls). quite a few times I met somebody  just by being observant there  or being noticed by somebody passing by

In the end, we didn't find and buy the muay thai shorts at Patpong market. I realise that it's ultimately better without any shorts...

The trick is to sit at chair facing the window. Also pay attention to doors and main entrance as guys can walk in to go to Foodland supermarket.

Also need to sit at the right time. After the bars close at 1am.

Possible to see guys from 7pm to 9pm. Some might have dinner at Foodland and that presents opportunity to chat with them and pay for their meals. Quite a number of guys will pass by at 9pm but they are in a rush to report to work.

 

Sunday morning was spent lazing in room. I checked out at noon then crossed Silom Road to go to Sun Massage at soi 6. Sun Massage used to be known as Natural Massage. After change of ownership, the name was changed. One of the new co-owners used to own Sun Massage next to Tawan. I had made a booking with a guy upon recommendation of forum member and his recommendation was spot-on! This guy has probably the best body among all the guys in Silom Surawong area. He is muscular and even his back is well defined. I found out that he gyms regularly which explains his fantastic body. He also has a great attitude. I am adding him to my list of regular massage guys!

After massage, I met forum member at Foodland for lunch and I thanked him for his recommendation. We chatted till 2pm then I made my way to airport to end off a terrific weekend!

Why am I writing this trip report now?

Because I am going back to Bangkok next weekend! So that's another trip report!

PM is Ok

I keep reading about this infamous Foodland Patpong.  What is the location?  What are the hours?  It sounds like a good place to eat, people watch, and is reasonably priced.  I need to check it out.  Any other places you would recommend to eat in the Silom area?

Not the direction I expected you to go, but you do like to stroll these days, no more marching?

It's on Patpong 2, nearer to Silom Road than Surawong Road, and it's open 24 hours, as is the supermarket it's attached to.
