Trip Report (January 2026)

[ichigo]

Happy to report that I landed in my happy place this past Friday after a year's absence and also recently worked out that this is my 10th trip to Thailand. 

Plane touched down at 15:30, lots of people at immigration and by the time I was done, my suitcase was already at the luggage carousel. Caught the ARL (credit card is now accepted) to Makkasan and then transferred to MRT Phetchaburi and rode until Sam Yan where it was a brief walk to the Raya. I was in my room just before 18:00. Unfortunately I was allocated a room on the 5th floor, where the reception is, but I would find out that this wouldn't be an issue. The room itself is large and had a window overlooking what was Soi Twilight but is now a condo building (?), but there were 3 air-conditioning units in front of the window which blocked the view somewhat. Slightly concerning was all the black mould in the bathroom. 

Went to Foodland for some Pad Kaprao (which I can order in Thai now but still stumble every time despite saying it in my head numerous times) and then 7-11 for some supplies and later in the evening met forum member for drinks at Unicorn bar in Soi 4 before moving on to Hotmale. There was a guy there who was one of my favourites from last trip, who forum member also highly rated, however when we arrived, he was already with a customer and left the bar shortly after. He gave me a knowing smile when he saw me and I would later find out that he did recognise me when he saw me but couldn't remember my name (on LINE), but to be fair, I couldn't quite remember his face whilst I was away from Thailand. There was another guy from Hotmale who was incredibly sexy (I really am bad with remembering numbers, but he had a buzz cut and nice body) who I tipped later.

The next day I got some testing done at Pulse, who are a little more on the pricier side, however I went there as my usual place (Pribta Tangerine) was closed for a few days over new years. The whole process ran very smoothly and quickly and all staff members spoke quite clear English. I also checked out the new Central Park mall briefly before going to Silom Complex to have lunch at Have a Zeed, which was quite tasty and highly recommended. Exchanged some cash at X-One which is my go to for currency exchange. I also tried to make an appointment at Prime for the following day, however the following day was already fully booked - damn the numerous white party gays with their beautiful bodies taking up all the massage appointments haha. 

Organised to see my Hotmale boy this evening incase he was booked again, and he said he would come to me at midnight. In the meantime, I met up with same forum member for dinner at G's (which was quite busy and am always amused at the very large plates they serve the schnitzel on), a foot massage just across the soi at Adam and then to Freshboys to watch the show. There were quite a number of boys in the rotation, many who I probably would be happy to go with, however I felt the quality of the show was not as good as it used to be. 

I arrived back at my hotel before midnight and my Hotmale boy came along shortly after and he was as excellent as last time, if not better. What I like about him is he really gets into it which makes the whole experience quite enjoyable, and he can flip-flop which is a big plus in my books. He was also quite chatty this time, probably because he is more familiar with me now.

The next day I decided to try S'Sense as I wanted something sensual and not full service. Booking through LINE was easy and they were very responsive, and it was about a 20 minute walk from Sala Daeng. It is a quite nice place where there is the front building as well as two additional buildings in an alley behind. The massage itself was decent and the therapist was well-trained however it was not really that sensual, but there were afters which involved some body sliding, mutual touching and a handjob. Mixed opinions on this place, but I may check it out again at some point (once I explore other places first). The masseur was pleasant enough though with a nice body.

Later in the evening I met with same forum member for some dinner and drinks at Connections in Soi 4 before heading to Dreamboys. I have a regular there but he wasn't at the bar that night, which I didn't mind as it gave me the opportunity to ogle all the guys on display. There were quite a number of guys there, many I could have gone with, and also confirmed that myself and forum member have the exact same type haha. Overall, all three bars that we visited had a decent amount of customers on each night.

I'm in Pattaya now so I'll update on that at a later date. It's so good to be back here though.

Is this to protect identities too....I don't get it?

If they don't want to be mentioned, not sure for what reason, just say met a friend, or you were with your niece 🤷‍♂️

You make a fair point, I use 'forum member' in case they don't want to be identified and while yes I consider them a friend, I just use 'forum member' due to the context of writing in this forum.

not as much to protect identity , rather to let other people inform  about their movements themselves if they wish to or keep in the shadows if they see reason for that.

Few trips ago  I had reason to make sure certain boy doesn't know  I'm in Thailand already. He was offed by my friend ( boy knew that we know each other )  who , not being privy to my ' secret ' , told him I just arrived which spoiled my surprise.

I learned my lesson and ever since  I substitute say " I saw floridarob sucking nice boy in the open at Good Boys ' with "  I saw forum friend sucking ugly boy in the open at Good Boys". This way it leaves you open door to  boast about your conquer or keep quiet about it .

Welcome in paradise !

While I do the same,  I think  for narrative and ease of following  story it would be better   if we identify members somehow  " I had dinner with member A " and then went to Tawan where I met member B"

Yes haha, we both liked #32 and I believe #33, whereas #105 was more Vinapu’s type.

You can identify me openly and don't need to use "forum member" when we meet and go to the bars. Hehe.

Same approach as well and I also appreciate that other forum members ive met did not reveal me in their trip report especially if the report is done while im still in bangkok. I suppose using assigned letter to each forum members might be useful but still only if they already identified themselves in the report.

In my case, two of the forum members already identify themselves, and even linked their trip report with mine, but there are others current forum member, ex forum members, and non forum members that prefer not to be included, so ill continue to use forum member in general.

The vague “a forum member” thing comes off like high school girls whispering names, especially when our forum names are already masked. BTW, my name isn’t really Florida. 

And in the one or two so-called “surprise” cases, it’s better not to mention “forum member” at all. It just makes it sound like some awkward little secret club.🙄

Actually, one of the reason to keep the anonymity of forum members movement is because of the trolls

For those forum members ive met and have met me, forum names isnt masking our identity anymore. I dont know who other forum members have met before, and their relationship status, so ill let them to reveal themselves if they want to.

That’s precisely why there’s no need to say “forum member” in the first place 🤷‍♂️

Ive used both friends and forum members in my report, where friends are those who arent forum members at all. Not sure why there is issue to make that distinction. 

Feel free to use friends only in your trip report, hopefully coming soon?

I don't have friends... just forum members 🤓

I'm not a big trip report, play by play action type.... I'll write a few lines or a trip summary of the things that I remember and worth mentioning.

I believe any updates to the scene, in whatever format or method is useful to most readers.
