It has been almost 7 months—seven long months—before I finally started making plans for my next trip.

Good to read you finally made it back to Bangkok! Enjoy your time there!

I will be going back to Thailand last weekend October / and into November.

If Malaysians continue going to Thailand and spending more and more, it could be a possibility. Why not. As long as not involved in any scam or criminal activity.

Actually we are just below china on the number of tourist to thailand last year. But i guess that figure is inflated, because of cross border activities

Its google ai mode in the chrome browser. So i guess gemini?

I am impressed that AI has come this far. To be fair to AI, I only do one simple prompt and did not bother to fix the details that were wrong. But yes, after using them for a while, you can basically detect AI language, certain words used are definitely a giveaway thats only AI will use, and some clear mistake were done as well like there is no indication that CN were aggressive, and yet, it was added by AI..

Yes, it made Dreamboy guy into such a bad person. I hope you don't get personal messages from anonymous forum members asking who is the guy for whatever reason. I believe the guy made promises to you because he has not been offed for some time and he wanted to secure an off badly.

Sorry that I will miss you.  I will be in Southeast Asia during that time, but not Bangkok.  Plan to be in Cambodia 9/5-12/2.  That should come as no surprise to anyone.  lol.

So far no one asked who he is. I wouldnt write him off myself either. Because up until he told me he had to leave earlier, the session was nice. Maybe his excuse might have been legit, albeit unlikely... Anyway, it will be a while before i take him again. Im not against giving someone a second chance.

You have a kind heart and willing to give others a second chance.

AI is powerful! I was curious about the power of AI so I sent ChatGPT links to all the trip reports I wrote in 2025 and 2026 and ChatGPT could quickly give a summary and analysis!

Ah. I have seen that book at bookstores at airport but never felt inclined to pick it up and browse the pages.

Only in December? Reading about all the times you have a (quick) visit to Bangkok I would expect you to return earlier than December...

That's scary. Imagine some moral crusader minister  having a go at such powerful tool.

With second chance, it can be very rewarding. Some of my best regulars were not so great on our first encounter but second and the rest was absolutely enjoyable.

Chapter 2: Happiness Is a Solution 

I went back to sleep once my guy left and checked out around 3pm ish, which is the benefit of being a member of this hotel chain. I moved to my next hotel, closer to Silom, but still not in the Silom ghetto. Except for my last night at Pullman G, none of my hotels are in Silom. The first two hotels in my trip are new hotels (Metropolis Suites Bangkok and Conrad Bangkok) I'm trying this trip, and so far I really like these two hotels, and so do my nightly companions. I was upgraded in all my hotels this time, perks of coming in the low season, I suppose, and there was no issue getting a late checkout until at least 2pm, and up to 4pm for my first and last hotel. This wasn't a big issue anyway, as my rooms were ready for check-in earlier than the standard 3pm check-in in both cases. I have lounge access for most of my trips except for my first hotel, but they did give me one drink voucher. The lounges usually have afternoon tea (2–4pm) and happy hour (5–7pm). My third hotel was a repeat, Hilton Grande Asoke. 

After settling down in the new hotel, I made my way to X-One to change some cash. I always bring my local currency and exchange it here for the best rate. There was practically no queue. I went to Prime Massage afterward for my customary massage. This time, I chose a 1-hour foot massage and a 1-hour head and shoulder massage for 750 baht. I had to wait 15 minutes for my masseur but was escorted inside the massage area immediately. Now my arrival ritual has been completed lol. I went back to my hotel for the happy hour and rested a bit before making my way back to Silom and Midnight Bar. 

I stopped by and bought a drink, waiting a bit before showtime in the bar. My fav waiter was there, so I bought him a drink as well. He asked if I knew how to play checkers, and I said yes, so we had a few games before I made my way to Hotmale to see their offering and the 11pm show. When I entered, the customers were sparse, maybe one or two others besides me. Suffice it to say, it was not enough for them to do the show. It was a Saturday night, so it was kinda sad really. None of the guys on stage appealed to me either, though I could see one or two that might appeal to my fellow forum members. 

After confirming with the mamasan that there would be no show, I made my way to my next bar, Good Boy. When I entered Good Boy, they were right in the middle of a show. The bar was full, so I was ushered to a seat near the stage, further from the entrance, where mostly boys were sitting. Not long after, familiar faces started to greet me with a wai, asked me for drinks, and of course Mamasan Tee and another friendly mamasan came to me asking for my drink order and if there was anyone I liked. 

And amongst the familiar faces, there was a guy I didn't see on my last trip, as I had heard that he went back to his hometown. He was the obvious choice tonight, so I called him over for a drink and we chatted a bit to catch up. He told me he had just come back to work for 2 weeks, having been away from the scene for 7 months or so since last November. He immediately told me his interest for an off and asked how long I'll stay this trip. Not jumping the gun this time, I confirmed a few things with him before calling the mamasan for an off. Let's call him VB. 

Once he changed into his street clothes, I told him I was waiting for a friend who was coming to Bangkok and arriving soon. He knows this friend, so we sent him our selfie. Around 12:30am, my friend arrived, and we stayed in the bar until the late-night shows ended. My friend also bought a guy a drink, and it didn't take long for him to also off the guy. We went to the famous Foodland for supper and retired to our hotels for the night. 

Yet another repeat guy, proven quality, and the reunion was great! He stayed until breakfast, and I went back to sleep after he left.
