I went out to Phoenix Massage at Saphan Kwai

You are a brave soul.  My one visit was enough for me to permanently cross them off the list for any future visits.  Sorry...just a little too sleazy for my taste.

Big difference is lots of mushrooms but I was ok with them.

That was my one complaint about Derby King.  Too many mushrooms.  Not a fan of mushrooms in general.  Would have preferred bell peppers instead.

Dinner on Sunday was at Prime Burger at Central Park Mall as I met forum member there for some Black Friday shopping.

425 baht for burger and fries. Juicy patty and crispy fries. Well worth the money.

The burger looks nice. I rarely visit one of the chain joints like McDonalds or Burger King, but in Paragon recently and hungry, despite the choice of many restaurants there I stopped at Burger King as they were offering Aberdeen Angus beef burgers - not the usual cardboard tasting meat. They're more expensive and I did find the burger far more satisfying than I expected. The meat was tasty and juicy, and the salad parts quite reasonable. Price for cheeseburger, coke and fries was Bt. 310. I was surprised - I enjoyed it.

When my guy left the next morning, he left his phone charger behind. Not a problem as he will be coming again.

But I wonder what if it was a one-night only off? If it happened to you, would you contact the guy to return the charger? 🤣

I spent the afternoon at MBK shopping and then received a message from a forum member to meet. Sure, always a pleasure. I took BTS back to Silom and I met him after he had finished his massage at Prime.

We went to pizza place at Quarter Silom and exchanged notes (and gossip!)

After that, it was coffee with another forum member. We got hungry and ended up at G's early at 6pm for dinner. I ordered German dish. I don't know what it is (it had a long sausage) but it tasted delicious as do all dishes at G's.

I went to the pool bar below Freshboys. I was going to watch my guy play pool against other guys from 7pm to 9pm. Many guys who work at Freshboys and Good Boys stop by to play or watch a game before they report to work.

I love watching my guy play pool. He's a pretty good player but he doesn't play often. He could win a few games against the guy who plays there every night but overall he lost. By 9pm, the pool bar was empty. All the guys had left for work.

I was about to go back to hotel with my guy but a forum member messaged to say he wanted to check out Freshboys. Yes, I will wait for you. We went inside at 9.15pm. We were the only customers but we enjoyed seeing the guys in their white shorts on rotation on stage. We sat in seats directly facing the stage. We had their attention and smiles.

My guy did not follow me into bar. He said he would wait outside. He didn't want me to pay for his drink. I had already paid his off fee for 4 nights in advance. Mamasan sat next to me and said hello. She didn't ask customary question "what number you like?" She knew I already offed my guy.

There were 30 plus guys working today. I know a number of them personally as they are my guy's friends. Many of them have interesting stories.

At 9.30pm, an Asian customer walked in with his boyfriend. They sat at sofa by the side and called down 6 to 7 guys to join them. According to my guy, this regular customer orders 3 bottles of whisky whenever he comes and the guys drink with him. He would tip them generously. Two of my guy's friends are part of the customer's favourites. "He no like me so he no choose me." I replied that it's ok - better for your liver!

By 9.45pm, the bar was filled with many customers. The first show starts at 10.15pm. My friend had decided on a guy to off. We could leave. We didn't need to watch the show.

I met my guy outside. "Are you hungry?" I asked. No, he said. Off we went to hotel room.

End of day 4.

I have had boys leave all kinds of things behind….watches, socks, fake Prada necklace (that he returned to claim in a hurry so clearly he liked it very much, perhaps it was real), good and bad memories… but never a phone charger. Vice versa I had boys irritatingly use my phone charger without asking permission. One even removed my phone to charge his own which to me is a cardinal sin. Lucky for him he was cute.

I would. Either contact guy and ask to pick it up or deliver to his bar / spa

Yes. I agree.

Day 5. Time to check out of Raya Hotel. As much as I like it for its location, big rooms and the glass shower, there are some cons for me.

Firstly, there are no toothbrushes in the toilet! Imagine you come back with a guy at midnight and both need to brush teeth (before you can start kissing!) and you realise you need to ask reception!

[jason1975]

The second disadvantage of Raya is lack of swimming pool. When the weather is nice and sunny, being stuck inside hotel room is just criminal!

Raya is also next to Surawong Road which is noisy with traffic.

Lastly, of course, Raya is not cheap. Its higher prices probably reflect its popularity among Japanese guests who frequent soi Thaniya (both the bars and the golf shops).

I will always have fond memories of Raya because of the many nights I spent with guys when Soi Twilight was around next door.

For a weekend trip, Raya is ok but a trip longer than a week requires another hotel.

And so I checked out of Raya at 12pm on day 5 and made my way to Silom Serene on soi 3.

The Quarter, even though rooms are considered small by some here, very well equipped, toothbrush, earsticks, even condoms (not for free, and no lube)

2-3 extra toothbrushes and mouthwash are usually first things I buy when visit 7/11 right after arrival.
