Thanks God it's over - trip report, Thailand in Jun of 2025

[vinapu]

Don’t believe that dramatic tittle of the report. Yes, it was not one of best and memorable trips but still , when comes to boys,  it brought  plenty of fine moments. Still it did not work as planned and envisioned, partially because life intervened, partially because I made hasty decision so my sentiment reflected in the tittle about that trip is accurate.

 Original plane was 4 nights in Bangkok , followed by three in Pattaya, carefully chosen to coincide with show at The Best Bar in Jomtien as part of Maxhunt ( more about that in relevant part )  and then 6 days in Bangkok again.

Then life happened, owing to family matters  I was forced, or to be more accurate, I had chosen to be forced to cancel my original ticket. Since it was  low cost non-refundable one and I never buy trip cancellation insurance, it meant I threw 700 USD it originally cost to the dust bin. They were other related  costs amounting to roughly the same , before I stepped out of plane in Bangkok, three day later than planned,  I lost about 1400 $. No wonder I’m glad it’s over. Still , mind you I opted for that misery and I’m glad I did. Life, sigh.

Then before I even left home I noticed that one of my boys, lets call him Cambodian Boy (CB), changed his Line avatar to something teary. So out of curiosity I asked him if all is ok. It was not as he explained. Due to border dispute  between Thailand and Cambodia he was forced to leave his bar job , returned home  but told me he will come on 14 to utilize his 7 day visa, all currently available. I did not spill the beans that I  should be in Bangkok for part of his time there but I knew that first bar I visit will be Moonlight hoping for that big smile of surprise.

Anyways after all those tribulation , instead of Sunday I landed in Bangkok on Wednesday after having  extremely pleasant  last leg from Doha with all three seats in my row at my disposal.

 Day1

 

Landed early afternoon which is the best time as removes all problems with early check in in hotel and allows to change money at best places. Immigration was  a breeze this time , 5 minutes and I was out.

Speaking about changing money, in the basement by railway station I got 37.10 for euro, and assumption that it was the best rate lasted only until arrival at Phaya Thai station. Immediately after one leaves paid area there are two booths and one offered 37.28 and next one even 37.30. That rate , by the way was matched by XOne  hour or two later.

My original plan was to stay in Baan Silom but since my 4 night shrunk to one I went for Raya. Owing to low season that had very friendly rates. Settling there I went to post office as  had something to mail , then to XOne to change more money and finally to Foodland for my first chicken with cashews – sadly , this time very average. I love that first day there when I’m settling for promising trip buying necessities and checking what is new. Building rising out of soi Twilight ashes is almost completed , that was big and tall  new thing.

At 8 p.m. I parked myself in front of Banana Club , soon joined for a beer by one of their guys but since he is diminutive guy I was plain social occasion. Still gave him 2 reds for his company by way of patented ‘vinapu tuck”. Then he went inside and I strolled through both Patpongs , in Patpong 2 enthusiastically welcomed buy some guys knowing me from better times. I was tempted to enter Atlas as boys on the stage were in pure and tempting view  but one of them spotted me , went down from the stage and immediately lowered his briefs asking for a tip ”for food”. That was bit too fast so I politely explained I just arrived and did not have  a chance  to change money and declined invitation by boss himself to step inside. At that moment I was not even sure I will go inside that trip at all. I don’t mind spreading money but such antics were too fast moving for my taste.

At 10pm. I went to Moonlight and this is what I reported in “Patpong” thread on that day :

   “I was customer #6 . When show started at 10.30 grand total 12 customers. 10 models, Mean returned but Babe not present. New guy Joey with broad smile quite impressive.  About 8 floor boys but regretfully none of two I was hoping to see. At least 3 boys offed including  both Lao brothers and guy taken by one who took over Vinapu's account.” .

I was disappointed I did not see neither  CB nor Y but at least M I offed twice in winter was on the stage and just before I was about to leave bar I motioned him to dress bypassing mamasan who use to leech to me from minute on I show in.

It must be dearth of clients because  even one of their models I had pleasure with before come to shake hands and exclaim ‘ long time no see you “.

 

Light dinner in Happy Beer Garden and soon M and I were in my room . M is not long time material and I did not expect him to stay past normal short time but low season kicked in and it was already  5 am when he suggested he will go home. Nice surprise for start of trip earning him extra 1000 in the process.

all my fault for coming 3 days later than originally planned. But as I said , life intervened.

If you had informed CB that you were arriving in Bangkok, he would have made sure he was working at bar on the night you visited!
