Thailand Trip Report February/March 2026

[jimmie50]

continued…Installment 16 B:  After leaving Green, I had about an hour before meeting forum members for dinner.  Briefly walked around Patpong market, then walked across the street to Starbucks and had a latte while just relaxing and doing some people watching.  Starbucks on Surawong near Kbank and directly across from Patpong 2 is a great place to chill out and watch people.  After about 45 minutes I headed over to Soi 4.  Had a great time.  Enjoyed getting to meet forum members in person, sharing stories of our lives and adventures, and simply putting a face with an online name.  Started out with four of us, but at some point other members joined the fun and I think we had a total of seven at one point.  After dinner and conversation, several in the group headed over to Midnight Bar for a drink.  Some were headed to EDT for the shower show at 11pm.  I was meeting the guy from Banana Bar.  He had been texting off and on since we first met about getting together again.  Told him I was meeting friends for dinner at G’s, and after that I would come to the club.  When I walked in it felt like I was being treated like royalty.  Mamasan has a special reserved seat for me.  Evidently Banana guy had informed them ahead of time that he would be going off with a customer.  Had I known that, I would have just met him outside the club instead of paying for my drink, his drink and the off fee.  Would have preferred to just pay the off fee.  Anyway, not wanting to be totally rude since I was already inside, we stayed about 15 minutes before heading over to Midnight Bar to rejoin the other forum members.  One of the other members had also met up with his ‘special friend’ from Good Boys.  Stayed there until folks going to EDT needed to leave for the show, then we headed to BTS to go back to the condo for some playtime and sleep.

continued…Installment 17: I had originally planned to see Cam on Sunday and have him spend the night.  However, I had to push that to Monday evening since Paradise guy informed me he was coming over on Sunday to spend the day with me.  Chaichana guy Monday afternoon, Banana guy wants to meet again…not sure when I can fit him in to my schedule (lol), Tuesday is Rainbow Dragon guy, Wednesday will definitely be Green guy, really want to connect with Ganymede guy and Senso guy again.  So many men and so little time.

Was definitely an adventure with Paradise guy today.  After he arrived, we decided to go and check out Wang Lang Market.  It’s only open during the day, and primarily food stalls.  Took Bolt as he wasn’t comfortable with me riding on the motorbike that far for at least 30-45 minutes.  I certainly didn’t argue with that.  Picked up quite a few snack type items to munch on when we got back to the condo.  Probably spent about two hours wondering around the market.  Upon our return to the condo, I was about to unlock the door and he realized he must have left his phone in the Bolt.  Even though I have the Bolt app on my phone, he actually placed the order/reservation on his phone, so all of the information was on the phone still in the car.  He got on his motorbike and was going to try and track down the driver since it had only been a couple of minutes.  While he was out on the motorbike, I explained the situation to the doorman who suggested I try calling my guys phone so the driver would at least be aware a phone was left.  Believe it or not, that actually worked.  I let it ring forever, and the Bolt driver finally answer the phone.  The doorman explained in Thai what had happened, so he returned to the condo with the phone.  I am amazed at how honest, friendly and helpful Thai people are.  If that had happened in the U.S., in all likelihood the phone would have been on the black market within seconds.  lol.  Crisis averted.  Well, I had the phone, so no way of letting Paradise guy know that as he was still out on the motorbike.  Fortunately, he returned about five minutes after that so I could show him the retrieved phone.  Huge sigh of relief from us both.  Spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the snacks, watching some YouTube and TikTok videos, and play time,  of course.  Since I never know advance what he is thinking or planning, about 7:30pm he announced he couldn’t spend the night…he needed to go home and do laundry.  By 8pm he was gone.  I had already shifted Cam to Monday night, so thought I would just have a quiet evening at home.  Sort of been burning the candle at both ends, so to speak, and thought a break might do me some good. That didn’t last long.  Around 9:30pm I got a message from another forum member who said a couple of them were getting together and going to visit the new bar, Big Boys…if I was interested in joining them.  Show was to begin at 10:30pm, which gave me plenty of time to get there.  Said I would join them.

Stopped by Rainbow Dragon while passing through Patpong 2 on my way to Big Boys just to say hello to Ben.  Ran into another forum member there and chatted briefly before heading over to Patpong to meet the other guys.  In addition to the two other forum members, there was one person seated to the right of our party  and two different groups of female patrons for a total of 9 customers.  Four number boys were on stage when I arrived…1 twink, 1 who probably should have retired a few years ago, and 2 more muscular guys.  While their new sign says ‘host’ bar, I didn’t really get that vibe.  Show started around 10:35pm and was actually quite good, although rather short.  Female entertainers performed well and they even had a couple of male dancers (not number boys) to assist that was obviously choreographed.  One male solo dancer was very handsome, muscular, and again the dance was well rehearsed and choreographed.  He was not a number boy, either.  We only saw him the one time.  None of the entertainers actually walked among the customers when finished soliciting tips.  They simply went on stage to perform and left immediately after.  One of the number boys came on as a muscle guy w/cock out and he did work the crowd.  By the time the show was over I think the three of us were the only customers left.  Invited the twink (from Myanmar) over for a drink, but just wasn’t feeling any connection.  Bought him a drink, and provide a small tip for his time, but no off.  Other two forum members decided to go to Good Boy and invited me to join them.  Agreed, as I do recall seeing a couple of cuties I wouldn’t mind spending some time with.  As the old saying goes…hindsight is 20/20.  I should have taken the Myanmar guy home from Big Boys as it would have been a sure thing.  He was eager and willing.  After watching the show and narrowing down my choices to four guys at Good Boy, invited one young man who really caught my eye to join us for a drink. He is actually Thai, and as it turns out he has only worked at this club four days.  Very much a novice and very ‘green’.  He previously worked as a dancer with some Lion Dance Troupe in Bangkok.  Not sure why the change of employment.  Definitely straight, never gone with a customer before, never been with another man before…you get the general idea.  Possible he has been with a female behavior.  Don’t know, as I did not pursue that line of questioning.  However, when it comes to the go-go club and sex with men…a complete virgin, uncomfortable doing anything with another man, and very clear that he would only sit and drink with someone.  He would entertain leaving with me, but only to go to another club for a drink.  To be honest, it was late, I was tired, and didn’t really feel up to the challenge of someone brand new to the business.  I felt awkward about the situation at this point and felt bad about putting him in an uncomfortable position so bought him a second drink.  Should have just tipped him and sent him back to the line up.  He is a cutie, but not sure he will last long in this business.  He said it was only his 4th day and he needed time to adjust to the situation.  Either you will be ok with it, or you won’t is the way I look at it.  He knew going in what the club was and the expectations of customers.  Hope that does not sound harsh or cruel.  Just reality.  Anyway, said our goodnights and I decided to head back to the condo…alone for a change.  lol.  Think other forum members were headed to UNESCO Foodland.  Already heard from Chaichana guy this morning confirming time, and also confirmed last night with Cam about meeting time and location…not inside Hotmale…and going to dinner.

Hello, kitties! Is your owner home? My clothes need a wash urgently so they'll smell nice when I welcome my new friends!

@jimmie50 How did it feel meeting forum members in person for the first time? Were they how you had imagined them? Was Guido's pussy all it was cracked up to be?

Cute. 😸 Who wrote this for you or did you use an app? From the expression, spelling and use of pronouns, the writer was attempting cute catspeak, you know like the way we pitch our language in a babyish, cutesy way when speaking to our pets (or Olddaddy). The standard and most common way for writing the word cat is แมว but แหมว as written above is onomatopoeic which is used in catspeak and kiddytalk. The use of เจ้า which is common with females from the north or when wanting to sound affectionate or maternal is another indicator.

I baby talk my cats, but address the oldest who's 25 as grandma and speak to her quite deferentially. 😅😸 

25! Never heard of a cat that old!

Years ago there was a shop cat in that age range near me.  I don’t know how old he got as his owners closed down when they retired.

I didn't have any preconceived ideas about what people might look like, but it was nice to actually be able to put a face with a name I see posting online all of the time.  It was also nice to openly share experiences or escapades with others who know and understand how this all works.  Not exactly something I am able to do with family or most of my friends back in Denver.  lol.  

[jimmie50]

continued…Installment 18: I must say it has been nice with several forum members in the city at the same time.  We have been able to connect on a number of occasions now.  After entertaining Chaichana guy for a couple of hours early afternoon, I made my way over to Silom.  Was going to do a little shopping and people watching while waiting for time to meet Cam.  Decided to hang out at the Starbucks on Surawong across from Pink Panther.  Noticed the other day at the food booth just outside Pink Panther a cute young man working that I wanted to spend a little time observing.  I think this booth is a family-type business.  He is similar in appearance to some of the guys who work at Good Boy.  This was late afternoon.  Meeting Cam at Midnight Bar somewhere between 8-8:30pm.  Had a message from another forum member who had finished a late afternoon massage, rested a bit and was heading out so joined me at Starbucks.  We then headed over to Midnight.  I stayed to wait for Cam while he went on to meet another forum member who was eating dinner with a companion at UNESCO World Famous Foodland.  Both members soon came back to Midnight and Cam arrived shortly after that.  Gave him the off fee to take upstairs to mamasan at Hotmale, then asked him where he would like to get dinner.  Should come as no surprise that he said Foodland, so we walked over there to grab a bite to eat before heading to Fresh Boys.  One forum member would join us later at Fresh Boys while the other had plans for karaoke with several guys.  When we initially arrived at Fresh Boy we were the first two customers.  This was around 9:40pm and show was scheduled to begin at 10:15pm.  Eventually more customers trickled in so by the time the show started there were at least as many customers as number guys on stage…roughly 25 people.  Mostly older, white farangs, some with an Asian companion (like me), younger European couple, group of Japanese guys in mid-30’s, couple of females.  Show was somewhat interesting and entertaining, although a couple of the numbers should have ended a lot sooner…just seemed like they were dragging on forever and would never end.  We stayed for the entire first show and maybe two segments of the second show before heading back to the condo.  Other forum member left after the first show to join karaoke fun.  Cam certainly did not disappoint when we got back to the condo.  He knows what I enjoy and is very good at it.  Nice falling asleep feeling his naked body against mine and his arms wrapped tightly around me.  Sleep a little later than usual when he is with me, went out for some breakfast, then he headed off to home.

At some point during the day, Paradise guy had sent me a message wanting to know if I was coming to see him today.  Wrote back and said we spent the entire day together on Sunday, so probably not.  Was going to meet ‘friends’ later.  Told him I would come by the shop to see him on Tuesday.  Today is Ben’s day off from Rainbow Dragon, so already had plans to meet him in the evening.  Will go see Paradise guy in the early afternoon, then take a nice, long nap to recharge and be ready for the evening.  lol.

Oh…last night was not completely uneventful.  For those of you that wear an Apple watch, if it has the fall detection feature and you have it turned on…be careful that you do not drop your watch.  I dropped my watch when I took it off to put it on the charging cable after we returned to the condo.  The watch misread that as I had fallen.  Unfortunately, the watch was asking me if I needed assistance but in Thai.  I ignored the message.  Since I didn’t respond, the watch contacted 191 (Thai emergency services).  I didn’t know what was happening, so I hung up on the caller.  191 called back wanting to confirm if I needed assistance.  I was finally able to speak to someone with English language skills and explain that I was perfectly fine.  I did not fall, but simply dropped the watch on the floor.  Unfortunately, due to the language barrier and my failure to respond promptly, the watch/phone proceeded to get in touch with my emergency contacts (family back in Denver).  So I had to text them right away to let them know I was fine and to disregard any emergency assistance request.  Rather humorous bit of drama for about 30 minutes after we arrived at the condo.  Lessons learned: 1) Fall detection, as well as all Apple watch features work internationally; 2) don’t hang up on 191 caller unless you want them to show up at your door at 1am; 3) be more careful and don’t drop the watch.  LOL.

4) don't complicate your life with watch spying on you ,  buy  normal thing for 29.95 $ and enjoy while it lasts. When you drop it , check if it still works , if not buy another one and keep singing in the rain

[khaolakguy]

My apple watch cautions me that I am in a "Loud Environment" when I am in the shower(and not singing). I just caution it by responding "you ain't heard nothing yet"!

[jimmie50]

ok, so I have a question for forum members.  I have read posts where some of you have traveled with some of ‘your guys’ outside of Bangkok.  I am not thinking of actually traveling with one of my guys, at least not on this trip, but doing something a little similar.  I want to pay the bar off fee for Cam for two or three nights before my return to Denver on April 2.  This will allow us to spend my final two or three days in Bangkok with him the entire time.  I would, of course, pay for any expenses we might have, but am unsure what would be a fair and reasonable amount to offer during negotiations.  I have mentioned this to him as a possibility, and he was very eager and excited about the prospect.  We did not discuss compensation at that time.  Would appreciate advice or recommendations from forum members more knowledgeable about a longer term arrangement like this.   Thanks in advance.

At least 5k per day.

Having met him in person, I believe he will be a great companion.

[jimmie50]

continued…Installment 19: Getting a little concerned that Paradise guy might be getting a little too attached or possessive.  Saw him today at the shop.  Since he never asks for or accepts money when he takes the day off to be with me, it worries me so that I make a point of seeing him in the shop because the environment is different than the condo and he gratefully accepts tip as he is working.  Of course, I am probably too generous and try to make up for the missed days of work.  As a result, I am not helping the situation of him becoming too attached.  As I recall, several forum members have posted on here before that they do not always let their special friends know in advance they are coming to Thailand.  I think I need to follow that rule of thumb if I return in the fall.  In talking to a wise and more experienced forum member about the situation, he said the reality is he isn’t really giving up much by taking the day off to be with me.  If he only gets one 60 minute massage per day and the shop only pays him THB 155 for that massage, when out with me I always pay for everything.  He doesn’t make any money, but he also doesn’t spend any money.  It was early afternoon, so I wouldn’t expect the shop to be busy, but I was the first and only customer of the day with 12 boys on hand.  We usually dispense with most of the massage and just have play time for 90 or 120 minutes.  Today I just did 90 minutes as I am expecting Rainbow Dragon boy this evening between 7-8pm.  I need some time to rest and freshen up in-between sessions.  lol.  Ran into a forum member still in town on Silom right after leaving Paradise and was heading to BTS.  We chatted briefly and both agreed it was extremely hot today in the city…temperature hot, that is.  No other inference.  lol.

Rainbow Dragon boy showed up an hour early.  I had just finished taking a shower when he sent me a text stating he had arrived.  Went down to the lobby to greet him and we decided to go get a quick bite to eat.  We had both skipped lunch and hadn’t had dinner yet.  Any number of places nearby, so just had some chicken and noodles at a small shop.  Ordered take out and went back to the condo to eat.  Enjoy the conversation with him as much as I do the play time.  He was quite interested with the Oscars and surprised that I didn’t watch it.  Told him I am not into movies or Hollywood that much, but I had read the news and was aware of the winners.  It was his off day, so not sure what he did during the day that made him so tired, but we cuddled for quite some time after doing the wild thing and both fell asleep for probably 45 minutes.  Eventually he took a shower before heading home…or out…not sure where he was going after leaving me.  Didn’t ask him, and he didn’t volunteer any information.  Only 9:30pm, so plenty of time for him to have something else lined up.  As for me…I am exhausted.  Really need a good, long sleep tonight.  Escapades are starting to catch up with me and I am feeling my age.  lol.  Circling back to my earlier comment about Paradise guy, got up to pee around 11:45pm to find a text message from him sent around 10:40pm asking me what I was doing.  I knew this meant he wanted to come over and spend the night when the shop closed.  Went back to bed and didn’t respond until morning.

So here is a question for forum members who have a regular guy you see every trip rather consistently.  How generous are you with them?  I wouldn’t say I am extravagant, but I do give him what the model types ask for at the more fancy, exclusive shops like History, Klover, Glam, SMS Sanctuary, etc.   And what is the frequency of your time together?  I really think he would come see me or have me come see him every day if I agreed to that…which I won’t.  I am thinking I need to establish some definite ground rules if I continue to see him on future trips.

considering that he will have guaranteed income for few days and you will have a lot of expenses entertaining  him  during this time I would offer 3000 per day. Nothing stops you from giving him bonus at end of your time together.

I did it few times , taking twice Pattaya boys to Bangkok, Tawan boy to Pattaya and Cambodian guy from Bangkok bar to Siem Reap , on separate occasion to Chiang Rai and let j him to stay with me during 1 week while I was in Bangkok on different occasion and each of those times I usually paid  them  nightly rate  (Long Time ) or nightly rate minus 1000 and had no complains. We always agreed on compensation before  our time together and surprisingly, almost universally all of them wanted money at end of trip , not on day to day basis as I suggested.

Spending with boy few days in row  is completely different experience than short time   or even overnight  and may test  your or his patience so make sure you allow yourself and him some free time . Need of keeping somebody entertained 7/24 may be taxing.

I pay regulars  the same like it would be our only meetup  during trip and have habit of fixing compensation before meeting. With guys you see regularly keep in mind that you will be stuck with price  i.e  , if you use to pay him , say 3000 but once , being extremely happy you gave him 3500 or 4000 , next time he will be expecting that 4000. I learned this lesson and as result was forced to drop few regular  guys who at the same time become too  greedy and slacking with duties of companionship .

as for frequency , it may depend on guy and how you feel with him. On my last trip in Bangkok part  I was alternating two boys and it worked extremely well for everybody although each of them had one 'weaker day ' , when it was clear to a degree  they rather be somewhere else. 

I never make promises " I will see you tonight (or tomorrow)  again " if i 'm not 127.84% sure that it will be a case. If they ask  first 'want about tonight " I either tell them ' no' as it's easier  to change that to 'yes' than other way around or tell them " not sure , I will let you know before xxx hour" and then do it

I haven't been quite that generous. lol.  Most of the massage shop guys are anywhere between THB 1200-2000 at the most.  However, Paradise guy is a little bit different.  Since he takes days off at the shop to spend time with me and never asks for money, when I do go see him at the shop at give him THB 3000.  This was never negotiated by him or something he specifically requested of me...more out of my feelings of guilt for him never asking and taking days off.  It just ways on my conscious a bit, that's all.   

For the massage guys like Chaichana who come to see me at the condo, I give them what I would have paid the shop for a one hour massage (around THB 600-800) and am careful to point out they are getting the total amount, massage plus tip, which they would not normally get.  

My perspective on the guys from the clubs is slightly different, as I treat that as a game and rather enjoy the chase.  Most of the time they start high...minimum of THB 3000, but sometimes as much as 5000.  I just laugh and say no thanks.  Next.  Then the price suddenly drops and they ask how much you pay?  Then I start at 1500.  

Other than Paradise guy or Cam from Hotmale, I don't think they guys would classify me as a big spender or overly generous.  I am fair, however, and do not expect something for nothing or as little as possible.  It is a business, and they need to make a 'living wage', so to speak.  Some are supporting not only themselves but families of their own, or sending money home to family.

I agree with you...I want the negotiations out of the way from the very beginning so the time together can be enjoyable without any discussion of compensation.  I will definitely confirm with Cam in advance that he is available for dates I am thinking about, that he is interested in spending that amount of time with me, and what the financial arrangements are.  

As for spending that length of time together compared to what we usually do, I am sure we will both need some space or down time.  I am ok with that.  I don't think I would be able to spend 24/7 with anyone, to be honest, whether family, friend, boyfriend, paid companion, or anyone else.  lol.
