After taking the harrowing ride to 15M massage i went inside and was taken to the second floor.

Definitely scary ride. No need to take such unnecessary risks on same day of departure.

I do not. Maybe 13 or 15. One of the shorter guys with a more American style haircut rather than the black sort of bowl cut a lot of the other guys had. A mischievous grin that’s more for show and one of few guys during the line up/rotation who was engaging with audience members mimicking jerking off a huge dick. He said he’s 25 which seemed about 25. He wore a cowboy hat in a solo dance.

 

Thanks!

P.S. My Lao Freshboy left his ring in my shower so i told him i’ll bring it back in March. He’s looking forward to my return!

Do you think he left his ring on purpose? Haha

Out of curiosity, what's an "American style" haircut?

That crossed my mind but i think it’s just by accident. We took a shower before and after the deed.  I bet it’s nothing meaningful but it’ll be fun to give back to him in 5 or 6 months from now.

It was fun to do once but i’ll pay 100 baht more in the future for a car ride.  I considered offering the motor bike rider some extra baht to drive slowly.  Ended up paying 75 baht plus maybe i tipped 50-100 i don’t recall

He might think that the tip was because he got you there so quickly.

Driver thinks.. "must take all farangs as fast as possible, they like it and I get good tip!"

I take motorbike taxis often but only for short distances ( 50 baht fare or less)

Just to contrast with most of the guys who had what I call a bowl cut, but that's probably not accurate either. I could have just said a regular haircut but that wouldn't help much. I suppose there are names for hairstyles. I don't know them.

Most of the guys at Freshboys have a strange bowl haircut - even my regular guy!

what's that, bowl cut ? I hear that often but what the hell is that? Honest question

Although I can't speak for the guys at Fresh Boys, a bowl cut looks like someone put an upturned bowl on their head and cut around the bowl, so everything below the lip of the bowl is short or shaved. Seems to be quite a popular style in the last year everywhere.

Try googling "men's bowl haircut" and click on images.

Never hand on riders shoulder! it is as if you are controlling them

I do this when I have my suitcase on my knees between me and the driver and never had an objection.

Else hands on my knees or on my sides. I avoid mocy taxis, I take them maybe 10 times per year, whereas cars 100 times per year.

... apps, Super A, Mr. O's, DJ Station, G.O.D.,

Mr O's??
You mean the restaurant run by my long term 'friend' from Nature Boy?

Is there some sexual activity on offer?

I've been meaning to drop by and say hello but haven't had the chance to do so yet.

He is one of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure to know. A truly beautiful human being!

Just  a partial report from Tuesday  evening,  after I arrived. I thought that my Vietnamese stamp collection would be reorganised, but, it didn't happen. Luckily a Lao collector was available. He was insistent on Grindr. We had been through my collection on a previous visit, so we moved on to local government finances.  Good choice, he was excellent  in all respects, cum in various different  locations!

 

Exhausted,  as I am now over 70 (!), I wandered off down Patpong 2. It was very empty, Barkers looking fairly desperate.  The much renamed Dragon was empty. Went to Soi 4, maybe at 60%, sat outside Banana, I was the only one there, chatted to the guys. They seemed a bit down, just going through the motions, or perhaps that was just me. Not much eye candy passing by. Popped in to Freshboys on way back, maybe one third full, decent boys, left quite soon, put my head into Goodboys, again not much going on. Didn't try Atlas. 

Will try Patpong again nearer weekend.  My hotel, Meridien,  seems not as busy as before, judging by attendance at breakfast. Climate change meant heavy thunderstorms,  both day and night!

Can you fill me in with info about Mr O's restaurant?

Has he perhaps turned it into a hands-on place where you can fondle nude waiters? 😂😂

At night, guys (and girls) sitting outside, I thought they were just drinking but they do karaoke inside and they guys/girls are available.... I only stopped because one of the guys called me over, I'd been with him when he was at Golden Cock before, I ended up going with someone else from there, twice on my last trip.

Don't know Mr O's, could you let me know where it is?
