Popular Post emiel1981 Posted 5 hours ago Popular Post Posted 5 hours ago Never had such a stressful start to a holiday... While I was on the train to the airport (the travel time from my home to the airport is over two hours), I saw that the plane that was supposed to fly me from Amsterdam to Doha was still in Doha. According to Qatar Airways, the delay would be about five hours. With a three-hour layover in Doha for my flight to Bangkok, I was already getting a bit grumpy. I wouldn't make that connection. But the closer I got to the airport, the more negative the news became. Missile attacks in Doha and the surrounding region. Check-in wasn't open yet at the scheduled time. I had to come back in an hour because there was still no news about whether the flight would even go ahead. And the delay had now increased to eight hours. Just before the hour was up, I received an email from Qatar Airways. My flight had indeed been canceled. My gut feeling told me I had to act quickly and find an alternative flight. Because many people will do that. I managed to book the last seat on a direct KLM flight at a reasonable price. Departure in about three hours. Perfect. Go straight to check in. In the past, I always avoided direct flights from Europe to Bangkok. Sitting on a plane for twelve hours straight seemed like a real nightmare. And indeed, it was twelve long hours. Economy class. There was plenty of legroom, and the food tasted good. But still. Eventually, I couldn't quite figure out how to sit anymore. I started to get a bit of back pain. One advantage: despite the departure time being later than my original flight with Qatar, I arrived in Bangkok hours earlier because it was a direct flight. Arrival in Bangkok went very smoothly. There were no lines at all at immigration. I was able to walk straight through. And by the time I'd gotten money from the ATM and purchased a SIM card, my suitcase was already on the conveyor belt. I reached Silom by taxi (fixed 600baht including toll) without any traffic jams. And when I tried to check in at Le Méridien around noon, they already had a room available for me. Wonderful. A bit of positivity after a stressful start to the day. A short nap turned into a few hours' sleep. And even after that, I felt tired. Of course, I'd turned on Grindr in the meantime. Among others, a muscular freelance masseur showed up. After work as a personal trainer, he'd be able to come by at 10:30 p.m. But whether I'd still be up for it, as tired as I felt... To Sarica restaurant on Surawong Road for the cashew chicken famous on this forum. Always a good start to a stay in Thailand. Tasted delicious again. As always. By now it was around 9 p.m., and I decided to stroll around the Patpong night market and Soi 2. I was struck by how quiet the streets were there. The touts, of course, tried to get me into the various boy bars. But I wasn't in the mood tonight. Still tired. After a stop at 7-Eleven, I went back to my hotel room. Where I did feel a certain lust. So I decided to call in that freelance masseur after all. Of course, I couldn't risk some forum members making comments like "How can you waste your first night like that?" if I didn't invite a boy. Haha. Well... my first evening ended up being anything but a waste. The guy spoke good English, so we had a nice conversation. The massage was good. And then the extras... Wow. He was a great blowjob guy and a willing bottom. It's always wonderful when you see someone going all out and (seems to?) enjoying it too. An active bottom whose movements stimulate your arousal, rather than one who just lies still. A nice welcome back to Bangkok for me! And for your reference, below is a picture of his body. bkkmfj2648, khaolakguy, ichigo and 3 others 6 Quote

hank75 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Congratulations on finding a fast alternative to your flight, and all the pieces of good luck that followed: room ready, great freelancer. May the rest of your trip continue on this note. I can imagine your relief and exhilaration on arriving smoothly with no further interruptions. I flew out of Suvarnabhumi on Sunday and there was a sad line up of lonely planes stranded in the middle of the air field: Qatar and Etihad being the most numerous, followed by Gulf Air, El Al Israel and AirArabia.
