I always prefer staying in Silom area. As do many prominent members here. 🤣🤣🤣

We will have breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper at the same few places. And the staff know us!

Last time I went, I stayed close to Nana plaza. That was certainly an experience 🤣. Sometimes I find that Sukhumvit is a good area to get a change from Silom. Jey spa is never far way…

You should go to G's and try to get an outside seat. You get to see the boys at Jupiter coming to work from 9pm onwards.

or if that was impossible , have a beer at Banana Club outside , across the soi from G's for the same vantage point

I can deal with a few stops away on BTS.  Just have to plan strategically to avoid certain times of day.  

@jimmie50 , if your condo is close to Asoke BTS station, you might find it faster and easier to use the MRT subway from Sukhumvit station to Silom station, than traveling by BTS. 

The MRT would be a direct shot on one train, with no transfer required.  Sukhumvit MRT and Asoke BTS stations are close together.  Both stations are adjacent to Terminal 21 Asoke.

That way you would avoid the masses of people transferring trains at Siam BTS station during the busy parts of the day, and avoid waiting to board a second train.

Another advantage of the MRT is the stations and platforms are much cooler, being located underground, a bonus during the hot season.  Silom MRT and Sala Daeng BTS stations are connected by a walkway.

Thanks for the recommendation.  While I am very familiar and comfortable with BTS, I have actually never been on MRT on my previous trips to Thailand.  Not sure why my friends never use it or have shown me the ropes, as they were quick to 'train me' on BTS and get me the Rabbit card.  It also doesn't help me learn to navigate when they have a car and quite often will pick me up and take me where I want to go.  However, I am not comfortable asking them for transportation to the massage shops or gay bars/clubs!  LOL.  Perhaps my next adventure this coming week is to experience MRT and learn my way around that system.  Maybe my Paradise guy can show me, but he has a motorbike so not sure if he has ever used it, either.  I will definitely ask him, though.

continued…Installment 3: Ate something that didn’t quite agree with me from one of the food carts on the street.  Ended up laying low for the next 24 hours.  After that was back to normal.  Paradise guy checked on me throughout and wanted to bring me some medicine.  I came prepared with trusty old pepto bismol.  That, and plenty of rest did the trick.

As I continue my daytime exploration of Silom, I was walking down a pretty much deserted Patpong.  It was way too early in the day for any night market activity to be getting underway.  I was heading from Silom to Surawong with thoughts of getting a massage at Avarin or Green when I walked bast Chaichana Massage.  I vaguely remember reading something about this place on ShamelessMack2.  There was one young man sitting out front.  Just my type…early 20’s, slim, handsome…with the most beautiful smile.  He looks at me with those big, beautiful eyes and flashes that wide smile…I melted into a puddle right then and there.  He didn’t have to ask me twice if I wanted a massage.  After showing me the options, I selected a 90 minute aroma massage provided he was the person that would be doing the massage.  I wouldn’t be interested otherwise…it was him, period.  The only thing lacking from the experience was that he does not like to kiss.  That would have been the icing on the cake, but everything else he was amenable.  He didn’t start out naked, but it wasn’t long before clothing was shed.  He had the smoothest skin with just enough hair on his legs to get my engines going.  I don’t know what the classification for this shop is, but my experience with this young man was definitely H or Type 4, including penetration.  We exchanged Line accounts and made plans to meet next week on Monday…his day off.  I cannot wait for round 2.  One thing unique about this shop is there are steps down…no steps up.  The shop itself is in what I would call a basement.  When you first walk in you go down two or three steps to a landing where the reception desk is located.  After paying for the massage, you are escorted down around 10 or 12 steps to the lower level with a large open room.  In that large open room are the chairs for foot massage.  Off the larger room are the individual massage rooms that include ensuite shower.  Shower is small, and I am certainly not a tiny person, but we managed to squeeze in after the massage to shower together.  No idea if this is the norm or a one-off situation for this shop, but think I will need to try it again to find out.

Paradise guy took the day off from the shop so he could spend the time with me.  Didn’t do anything special, actually.  Just hung out at the condo, watched a movie, had some snacks and beer (him, not me), and spent a large part of the afternoon just curled up in bed together…cuddling, kissing, caressing…just the things I really enjoy.  He knows how to push all of my buttons!  Naturally, bed time included doing the wild thing.  It wasn’t all tame.  lol.  After showering together, we headed out for some dinner before he headed home.  It worries me that he took time off from work to hang out with me as I know if he doesn’t work there is no income for that day.  But, if I offer any compensation he refuses.  I don’t push because I certainly don’t want to offend him.  During this discussion it was also important to him that I know he doesn’t do anything with other customers except HJ.  Of course, I am not totally naive and realize he could just be saying that because he thinks it is what I want to hear.  However, my gut is telling me that is true.  He said he could tell from the first time we met back in October that I was different.  For now, I am just going to enjoy the time we spend together and try not to think too much beyond that.
