Thailand Trip Report February/March 2026

[jimmie50]

continued…Installment 13: After a lazy morning simply doing nothing once Cam left, I prepared for my ‘meet and greet’ with Dragon boy.  He was coming to the condo around 1:30pm.  Even though the condo comes with maid service, it isn’t daily like in a hotel, but once every three days.  Needed to straighten things up just a bit and take a shower.  It was probably closer to 2:30pm when he finally arrived, but I have come to learn that time is a relative thing here.  His English is excellent, and I really enjoyed having conversation with him in addition to the fun.  We talked about education, since it is something we both have in common, the political situation in both of our countries in addition to other hot spots around the world, and of course, the different clubs.  Among all of the guys there seemed to be one reoccurring theme…business is slow and no customers.  He said there might be one or two days during the week where it would get busy, but in general he felt it was very slow in the clubs.  Tourism in general…he sees many foreigners out and about on the streets, in the shopping malls, and even the typical tourist venues…but they don’t seem to visit the bars or clubs other than as a novelty.  He has been in Bangkok for two years, so I don’t know what the overall impression is of forum members, but the guys in clubs and massage shops all seem to say the same thing…no business.  Coming from Myanmar and having heard stories before, I kind of assumed that Dragon boy was fairly well endowed.  Although not nearly as big as Ganymede guy, he certainly did not disappoint in that department.  Could not believe his actual age is mid-30’s.  I was guessing maybe 21, and even debating if I should check his ID to be sure he was legal.  Soft, smooth skin; darker complexion; brilliant smile; eyes that sparkle; very chatty; affectionate and great kisser.  Probably sound like a broken record here…but this is the type of guy I like, so they all have similar characteristics.  Even when selecting massage guys, whether in person or from photos, this is what I tend to gravitate toward.  He certainly did not disappoint, and knew precisely what to do with that large endowment.  Was a lovely afternoon, to be honest.  We never discussed any type of fee prior to his visit.  I didn’t want to offend him by not offering, but at the same time I didn’t want to offend him if I did offer.  In the end, I insisted he accept THB 2500.  He needed to go get ready for work, so left after 3 or so hours.

It was such a wonderful afternoon, I was debating about even doing anything else that evening.  Especially after having such a great time with Cam the night before.  To be honest, I had kind of forgotten about Senso guy.  He had sent me a message at some point during the afternoon wanting to know when I was going to come and see him again.  While I enjoyed him very much, I knew this wasn’t so much about a real connection between us but more about the business aspect.  I didn’t see his message until after Dragon boy left, but eventually responded asking what he had in mind or when he was thinking we might meet.  He said he was available that evening…I could come to him at Senso or he was willing to come to me.  I actually decided on the later.  I wasn’t sure I wanted to bring him to the condo, nor was I planning on inviting him to spend the night.  This was simply going to be about massage and sex.  Anyway, we scheduled a time for late evening.  That gave me a chance to just relax and take a nap after my exhausting afternoon.  Had a chance to catch up on emails and forum messages.  Looks like I will be getting together for dinner Saturday evening with several other members.  So excited about it!  Took a shower, got my stuff together, and headed over to Senso.  BTS was surprisingly quiet…well at least until Siam.  Transfer point is always a bottleneck.  Arrived just a few minutes early.  Opted for the 90 minute session.  Wasn’t going to travel all that distance for just 60 minutes.  lol.  No idea how busy the place was.  Probably 10-12 guys available, and no signs of any other customers.  That doesn’t mean they were not already being serviced in private rooms.  I just didn’t run into anyone else coming or going.  Experience was just as good as the first time.  Would definitely go back and definitely recommend this place.  Might be interesting to try someone different on another visit and see if the action is similar.

But that option , while cheaper,   misses whole entertainment part, show , interaction with boys and mamasans in the bar so I personally don't subscribe to it too often. 

True, but after seeing the same show several times, I would much rather meet Cam outside of Hotmale instead of going inside, not only paying the off fee but for two drinks (his and mine) when we don't even plan to hang around.  Perhaps if there was more variety in the shows I would think otherwise, but I get bored with them after seeing the same thing five or six times.  lol.

I think you said something about taking it easy since you have seven weeks. Going by your accounts, you seem to have thrown aside all thoughts of a leisurely holiday

My initial intent was to be very laid back and casual. lol.  My downfall has been collecting way too many regulars...all of which are very demanding for my time and attention (as well as my money).  LOL.  Already the middle of March, so this will all be coming to a screeching halt come April 2.  However, I have already started checking airfares for August, September, October...   🤣

wholly agree, my comment was of more general nature. Most of us on shorter , 2-3 weeks vacation, if that much  don't even have a chance to get bored with the shows as by time we visit every bar once  it's already half trip if not more

It took me a few trips to appreciate that these guys are in business and generally speaking, will tell us what we want to hear.

I just go with the flow and enjoy the boyfriend experience without thinking about things too much.

You definitely need to keep this in the back of your mind.  While the boyfriend experience is nice, they probably have several they are saying exactly the same thing to at the same time.  

Recently had dinner with several forum members and was sharing photos of some of the guys I mention.  Turns out a couple of them have also seen and know 'my guy' from Hotmale.  Small world.  lol.  That brings a dose of reality very fast when you find someone else who has been with the same guy who has been told exactly the same things as you.  Boyfriend fantasy bubble gets popped quickly.  🤪

you are right it's recurring theme and it was always as long as I remember. Once I saw one of my Tawan boys parking new shiny motorcycle on the street.  Hour or two later , in the bar , he said the same so I asked him " is that new motorcycle fruit of that slow season ? " and he did not have good answer for that

and this would be clashing with all those ' no business ' claims

A lot of guys know each other because they all come from the same village.

Even though they work in different bars, they tend to rent rooms together and hang out with each other in their free time.

Good point.  I know several of the guys from Cambodia all live together but work at different bars.  When I meet Cam outside Hotmale and we go to check out other clubs, he always wants to take me to places where his buddies work and treat them to a drink.  Just as we share notes about our various escapades and conquests, I am 100% sure they are comparing notes on us as well.  🤣

Yeah, that happens a lot, in my experience.

My regular Pattaya guy worked at Eros but knew just about all the guys working in the bars in Sunee Plaza. After I'd off him, he would  often suggest we go to one of the bars and have a drink with his mate. 

My regular 'friend' in Bangkok, who worked at Golden Cock, knew every guy who worked at the other 2 bars - Super A and Nature Boy. He knew their business and even what they did in bed. (He even warned me about one of the guys who had just tested positive for HIV).

Now my friend can best be described as a power top, who fucked me every afternoon into submission. At the end of the season we were both totally spent, and for him, that was enough sex for the day. But he knew I needed a guy for another round in the evening, and often introduced me to his friends.

He knew exactly the type of guy I like - handsome, friendly, slim, masculine.....and a big cock!

One evening we were sitting in Golden Cock when he suggested I might like his friend from Laos. 

'Nice guy with big, big cock for you! He can come here tomorrow night and you can meet him first and play with his cock.'

Who am I to refuse?

So he turned up right on time, sat down next to me, unzipped his fly and whipped out a monster. My friend had obviously coached  him on what to do.

Back in the room, he performed magnificently. Guys with big cocks seem to know that they need to take things slowly, so although I was apprehensive at first, he managed to get it without causing too much pain, and then off he went. 

He lacked the stamina of my friend, but that was probably a blessing!

Also, whenever I offed someone from the other 2 bars, he always knew. 

'Bee say you fuck him good last night!'

Of, dear! Is nothing sacred?

I am more focused on having fun with guys I find attractive, but not trying to create some sort of relationship.  Sure, I am happy to see them more than once, but the ongoing boyfriend treatment just does not appeal to me.  I think that many of them pick up on that and tailor their interactions accordingly.

continued…Installment 14: Woke up to the sound of rain on the windows and thunder in the distance.  Was a bit surprised by this.  I haven’t followed the weather forecast since I have been in Bangkok, so I wasn’t expecting thunderstorms this time of year.  I did come prepared, though, with umbrella and raincoat just in case.  Today was all Paradise guy.  He informed me yesterday afternoon that he was taking the day off and coming to spend it with me.  That pretty much put the kibosh on anything else that I had in the back of my mind for the day.  He slept late since he was off and headed my way around noon.  Got here just before the rains started again.  Turned out to be the perfect day to just stay inside, avoid the nasty weather, and have some fun at the same time.  He arrived with a surprise for me.  I have been looking for those small, round, white coconut pancakes.  On previous trips they were easy to find, but for some reason in October and again now I have yet to see them.  I had asked him once before where I might find them.  He knew exactly what I was talking about when I described them, but didn’t know of any place near me that I might be able to get them.  He did know of a place near his apartment, so he stopped there before coming to me and brought two containers, each containing 8 of the small pancakes.  I thought that was so sweet that he remembered and got them for me.  We watched a little television (YouTube mostly), played some game on his phone, and had plenty of play time in the afternoon.  After doing the wild thing, it was nice to just fall asleep with his arms wrapped tightly around me and to feel his naked body against mine.  We dozed off for awhile before deciding it was time to grab a bite to eat.  Went to a local shop that advertises Khao Soi.  I think it is a traditional Northern Thailand dish.  I had it this past October when visiting Chiang Mai on the bus tour.  He had never had it before, and really likes noodles a lot, so thought this would be a good dinner option.  I asked him what was a traditional or regional dish from his area of Thailand, and he said Larb Nua Dib.  Translation is basically raw beef larb.  He pulled up a video on TikTok showing me how to make it.  Walked around a small night market before heading back to the condo.  Basically a repeat of the afternoon…watched a little television, more game time, sex and then sleep.  He spent the night, but informed me during dinner he would need to get up early as it was his turn to go to work early and get everything set up for opening.  He does that once a week and had traded with his friend.  Thursday is his usual early shift, and his friend is on Friday.  They swapped days so he could spend the time with me.

[jimmie50]

continued…Installment 15: Got up somewhat early so we could grab some breakfast before Paradise guy headed to work.  To be honest, after he left I crawled back into bed and slept another hour or two.  Today was a calm and rather tame day, with not much to report.  My straight friends picked me up around noon and I was with them for the remainder of the day.  Didn’t do that much other than hung out with the family, did a little shopping, had a couple of meals together, and basically just chilled out.  The daughter will finish high school in May.  She has applied to a few schools in the U.S., and wanted some help with the college applications, as well as a general idea what to expect about the process.  Spent some time with her going over the specifics and provided some tips I learned from the guidance counselors at the school where I worked.  She will have an advantage over other foreign applicants as she has attended a private international school where everything was taught in English.  Her English language skills are very advanced allowing her to skip the required ESL stuff. Went to some strange combination Thai-Italian cuisine for dinner.  Friends had per-ordered beef steak with mushroom gravy, veggie pizza, lasagna, build-your-own Vietnamese wraps, and cashew chicken with rice.  I can honestly say the cashew chicken was one of the worst I have ever eaten here.  I would never be able to find the place again, but certainly not a restaurant I would ever want to go back to, either.  The best thing of the entire meal was the mushroom gravy and the mango sticky rice for dessert.  Very disappointing.  Happy that tomorrow will be going back to G’s along with other forum members.  Will definitely be a better meal!

thanks God I was not invited !

continued…Installment 16 A:  Had a quiet, leisurely morning checking messages and reading forum posts.  Went downstairs to the coffee shop for a latte and pastry.  Didn’t want to eat too much and planning to skip lunch altogether.  Meeting several forum members for dinner at G’s.  Looking forward to good company and food.  Decided to head over to Silom mid-afternoon.  Planned to get a massage.  Recalled reading a post about an older H-type shop off Surawong called Magic Touch.  Thought I would check it out.  Turned out to be a big mistake.  Locating the shop was a bit of a challenge.  There is a narrow street between 56 Surawong and Le Meridien that appears to be a dead end leading to The Rose.  When you get to The Rose, the street sort of zig zags around and continues on past a number of shops which all appear to do laundry.  Approximately 75 meters from the Rose is a very short alley to the left that is very non-descriptive with four or five small shops, one of which happens to be Magic Touch.  Google maps was helpful up until the alley.  The shop should have better marketing from the street into the alley.  Initially I walked past the alley entrance a good 25 meters where it was mostly residential, so turned around and finally was able to determine exact location.  Shop is older.  Ground floor contains a very small reception area.  Decor is very dated, and the place was hot, smelled musty, and didn’t appear to be the cleanest establishment.  Only one person was working, so no options regarding therapists.  No idea how many people they may have on staff.  Of course, this was around 3:30pm in the afternoon, so I wasn’t expecting many employees, but certainly more than one.   He was not my type at all…older gentleman, late 30’s or possibly early 40’s, certainly not twink material, definitely on the chubby side…zero attraction whatsoever.  Provided me with a glass of water, turned on A/C unit, showed me a price list.  At this point I should have politely declined and just left, but I went ahead and agreed to a 60 minute oil massage.  Foot massage wasn’t an option, otherwise I might have chosen that.  Keep in mind there is nobody else in this shop…just the ‘therapist’ and myself.  Paid THB 600 and he proceeded to take me up to the very top floor…four flights of very narrow steps that were not so bad going up, but coming down felt extremely unsafe.  Thought it strange we had to go all the way up when each floor had two massage rooms.  One room was larger with an ensuite shower, small sink, and urinal.  No toilet.  Second room was smaller and there was no ensuite, but a shower nearby off the hallway and a toilet.  I was in the large room with the ensuite.  Massage table was typical wood frame with thin padding, face cradle, with towel correctly placed.  Often the towel will cover the face cradle in many of these shops.  Therapist gave me an old towel that honestly felt like it was made of sandpaper.  Shower was obviously very old, could have definitely used a bottle of Clorox, body wash was almost empty, water was lukewarm at best and just a trickle.  No way to adjust pressure or temperature.  Just on/off.  Hesitated even getting on the massage table as I questioned in my mind just how clean the cover was.  Looked very old and stained.  After taking a quick shower and finally getting on the table, therapist came back into the room.  Started with the sandpaper towel covering me and some dry presses.  Oh, I should mention that when he came into the room, I could tell from the sound that he had removed his clothing and tossed them off to the side.  Without him even touching me, it was rather obvious where this could lead.  Massage skills were basically non-existent.  Probably one of my worst experiences in Thailand.  The entire time I was laying on the table I just wanted it to end.  Just a miserable experience overall.  Absolutely no chemistry whatsoever, so no desire for any ‘special services’.  It couldn’t end soon enough, and I couldn’t wait to get out of there.  Tip was never mentioned, so no idea if there was a mandatory amount or not, and certainly no extra services were provided.  I was just so anxious to get out of there I gave him THB 500.  Not only was the massage itself terrible, but I walked out feeling dirty…actually dirty…like I wanted to go all the way back to Asoke then and there to take a nice, long and hot shower at the condo.  Of all my various escapades, I would never return nor would I recommend this shop.  The only other shop I would not return to is Phoenix, which I visited in October.  While the masseur was ok, it was difficult to find, not as convenient to Saphan Kwai BTS, and in general a sleazy environment.

Walked back out to Surawong, turned right walking in front of Le Meridien to the pedestrian crossing just beyond the hotel, crossed over and was walking back toward Patpong past Avarin and Green massage shops.  Been to Avarin on my last trip, so knew there was some possibility of fun there, but nobody that really struck my fancy sitting outside.  Shop also appeared to be rather busy with many foot massage customers.  Stopped to check out the outdoor menu at Green as there were four very cute twinks sitting outside.  The experience at Magic Touch was so terrible, I was thinking I needed something of redeeming value.  lol.  Besides, I wasn’t meeting forum members for dinner until 8pm and it was just a little before 5pm.  Plenty of time to erase the bad experience from my memory with a fresh, young twink at Green.  Female barker was trying to interest me in manicure/pedicure at first, then a foot massage.  This shop was busy, too, with many foot massage customers.  I pointed to Aromatic massage on the menu board, but stated clearly I get to pick the therapist…not her.  I choose.  I had my eye on one of the four guys in particular.  She agreed to let me choose, so I agreed to 90 minute aromatic massage.  Paid THB 850 for 90 minutes, then therapist had me remove shoes and socks, put on slippers, and escorted me up to the second floor.  Shop has many rooms, all of similar size.  Just enough room for a massage table but no ensuite facilities.  Communal toilet on first floor.  Two communal showers on each floor.  Do not recall if there was another floor above us, but rooms were numbered and last room on my floor was #18, so at least that many massage rooms available.  No mention at reception desk of deluxe rooms, so not sure if these exist in this shop, but have my doubts. Therapist had me undress, put on a robe that was 5 sizes too small for this oversized farang, and escorted me to the shower.  Provided me with a nice fresh (and soft) towel, then waited outside the door while I showered.  Excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water, which was also adjustable.  Full bottle of body wash, which I generously applied trying to feel clean after the dirty feeling I had leaving Magic Touch.  Therapist escorted me back to the room and had me lay on the table.  He used the towel to cover me and started with some dry presses.  It was obvious from the beginning that he had received some training somewhere and had some idea about giving a proper massage.  After the first 15 minutes he removed the towel and started just lightly rubbing his hands over my body.  Almost felt like someone running a feather duster across me.  Very sensual.  He started to apply some oil beginning with my feet and worked his way up to my knees.  Gradually worked his way up above the knees to my glutes.  As he did so, his hands would definitely touch certain areas that, let’s just say got a rise out of me.  lol.  I guess I was getting a little vocal when he was playing with my ass so he knew it was something enjoyable for me, which seemed to turn him on as well.  By this time he had positioned himself in a way that I could play with his very nice and growing endowment.  Special service was never mentioned, nor was a tip.  To be honest, I think he was as turned on and horny as I was, and before long he was naked and on top of me.  All of this happened within the first 30 minutes in the massage room.  Definitely provided that redeeming factor I was looking for!  After doing the wild thing, he continued with the massage since there was still at least 45 minutes left.  And, for those curious, yes…we exchanged Line information.  However, before exchanging the info, he mentioned that he knew me.  This statement somewhat surprised me, because if I had seen him before I would certainly have remembered.  Turns out that prior to working at Green, he worked at Paradise.  He saw me there in October when I would go to visit my Paradise guy.  lol.  As a result, he kind of already knew what I might be looking for when I stopped at Green!  The concern now is will he report back to Paradise guy that he has seen me at Green!   Could be…word does travel fast…had a text message from Paradise guy letting me know he was taking time off on Sunday to come visit me.  Caught once again…him and that sixth sense.  Or else he has spies everywhere.  Green guy is off on Wednesdays, so definitely want to see him again.  Green is a nice shop, and I would return even if no special services were offered.  That will depend entirely on the therapist and what they will or won’t do, but negotiated in private.  The shop will tell you they are strictly legitimate.  I think the advantage I had here was because the therapist, unbeknownst to me, had seen me at Paradise and they probably talk to each other about customer likes/dislikes.   And even though it was never discussed, I did tip him THB 2000 as it was definitely that good.  Worth every last Baht and then some!
