This is a short report on my current visit to Bangkok. Not much to report on the sex front, as I already had some stamps lined up before arrival. A brief comment about Suvarnabhumi. I arrived mid afternoon at the satellite terminal, train quick to Main terminal. Quite a lot of people, surprisingly, but Priority Lane available for old people such as myself! The whole thing took about 10 minutes. No luggage, so picked up local sim, and straight to Hotel car and to hotel. As it is rainy season quite a lot of traffic.

Started stamp collecting that evening, with pre ordered stamp, and afterwards wandered about trying to get rid of my jet lag. First thing to notice was that the centre was pretty empty. Occasional bursts of very heavy rain followed by intervals of quite nice weather, not too hot about 31°. Went down Soi 4 Again, not that busy, I was the only person sitting outside banana bar. Guido was thete his place perhaps half full. He left with rucksack, early. Got a little busier towards 10:00, but a long way short of peak season. Wander back down Pat Pong 2, popped into Good boys and Fresh boys, not many customers, I prefer twinks, and the boys on offer were good looking but I was already spent, having licked my stamp.

Following day, not doing a great deal went, down to the river to have a meal overlooking the scenery. Met an old friend, who has a live in partner from Myanmar for supper. He has lived in Bangkok for 10 or 11 years and confirmed that it was very much off season at present. I again walked down Pat pong but without seeing anything that attracted my interest. Decided on boring foot massage, instead of the more exciting sort.

Today met up with gay guide from Siam Roads, Mac, whom I have known for a long time. He has moved out of Bangkok, as there is no work, but came in so that I could take him out to lunch down by the river to place called The RiverTree restaurant In

Nonthaburi. Lovely view, I was the only foreigner, shrimp balls, mixed vegetables, other interesting looking things that I did not know what they were, steamed rice with chicken for both of us, coke and steamed sea bass. No alcohol as it was election day. The whole thing was 1,200 baht, absolute bargain.

Now back in hotel considering whether to look for another stamp. There have been a number on offer, two of whom I have licked on previous visits. Grindr has also been pretty busy. I had a choice of half a dozen or so attractive guys. It's just a question of stamina!

Off to Siem Reap on Tuesday. Stamps available there! Will consider gay massage, though choice rather limited.

This made me laugh. Reminds me of the Pattaya sub on Reddit where they have strict policies around discussing bar girls and payments so “baht” is a banned word. This leads to interesting reports “met a great girl, offered her 1500 apples, but she later demanded more apples in the room …”

No oranges?

Presumably bananas already available?
