There hasn't been any postings in this section for a while, so I thought I would give it a shot.
I'm starting my 2nd year of retirement and finally have realized I don't have to be home Sunday night to go to work Monday morning. I have been to Thailand several times for 10 days to 2 weeks. I thought I would give a 1 month trip a shot. I found an apt on AIRBNB. Heard good and bad, but this experience has been about perfect. Have a 1 bedroom, fast wi-fi, pool, little gym. I arrived at 1am so stayed in a hotel as I didn't want to go looking for the place and looking for keys at that hour. When I arrived the protests were still happening, so a 10 minute taxi ride here, took 1 hour. The roads are all open now, so just typical heavy Bangkok traffic. I found the Apt easily. The security guard had the key and it was that simple. Location is about 1/2 mile down Suriwong towards the river.
I flew from Miami to Chicago on American, then Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong on to Bangkok. All in Business.
Great flights. Had the mini Business cabin. It only has 8 seat, and only 3 were taken. Really quiet and great individule service. 30 hours door to door is a long day. I stayed in my first night trying to adjust a little to time change. For some reason hit me hard this trip.
Next night I went up to Soi Twilight. I have a couple of friends that work at Hot Male at the outdoor bar, so I hang out there a lot. When I was last in Bangkok, (July) I met a boy that I really liked. He was from Vietnam and I figured would be long gone. Well I show up and as soon as I say hi to my friends, they all said my friend had gone back to Vietnam and just arrived back in Bangkok the same day I arrived and was upstairs working.
Well that helped wake me up a bit. I went upstairs and looked around and didn't see him. Went to take a seat, and before I could park my butt, he was right there. I don't understand how these boys remember everything about every person they have met for years. I don't remember dinner yesterday.
I didn't off him that night. At 350 baht a drink, we each had one and then I was out of there. The jet lag was still getting to me and sex wasn't high on my list. Drinks at outdoor bar were 150.
He has been with me the rest of the week though. I have lived alone for a lot of years, so I don't need him with me 24 hours a day. So we meet up each evening for dinner, drinks and back to apt for a bit of fun. He really hits all my buttons so fun times for me, though probably kind of boring for a lot of you. Not into topping or bottoming anymore, but living alone the thing I miss the most is affection. This boy is amazing in that department. He is all over the place and I know so many of you like kissing...he loves it. He rams his tounge down my throat so much I am usually asking for a time out.
Usually when I get here it's off to the massage places for a little fun, but with my boy, I haven't needed to. Next week I'm going to give him a night or 2 off so I can have a little taste of what else may be lurking out there.
He also has promised me a 3 way with a friend of his that is arriving from Vietnam next week. When his friend arrives, that will give me an excuse to go off on my own.
Weather has been great. 90 each day and 80 each night. Low humidity has been a big plus with a good breeze. Now that I have lived in Ft.Lauderdale for about 2 years, the weather has been much less an issue for me here. Probably the biggest problem I have with my boy is the A/C. He likes it set about 80 and I like it about 70. We comprise, but I'm still to hot when playing around.
For those of you that have been here know what a bustling city this is. Right now it's as quiet as I have ever seen it. So many empty taxis and tuk tuks. Drivers are all saying, people are coming to thailand, but not coming to Bangkok. My flight Hong Kong to Bangkok only had 11 people in Business. This is the only trip I have seen empty seats. I had fast trak for emigration . 1 window open, and I was the only person there.
It was 1 am, but airport did seem quite. All the intersections are open now and the protesters are staying in Lumpini Park. So safety not really an issue now. An other sign, every time I have been on SkyTrain , I have gotten a seat.
Well my date for the evening has just shown up so it's off to Scozzi for dinner. I asked him if he eats only Thai or does he like some western food. He says he likes food any and all. Makes life so much easier.
I'm not the best writer and pretty much seeing only one boy, doesn't leave a lot to write about. But I will see what I can come up with.
Till then
