Day 12 - Day 3 Laos trip cont' Heading back to the city, our next stop is the morning market near the bus station. I just wanted to see whats there, but its really just a local market selling lots of ordinary items, and some female sellers are stunned by Y handsome look there lol. We then went to Wat Si Muang which is a Khmer style temple. Very interesting temple with lots of interesting history. I actually planned to visit one more temple (Wat sisaket) and the museum Haw Phra Kaew, but apparently they closed at 6pm and we didnt make it. Instead, I asked the driver to drop us at the Hotel, and walked near the riverside to watch the sunset with Y. After sunset, Y asked me if he can go back to sleep, i said yes sure. We went back to hotel together and Y saw that his laundry is already returned when we went into the room. I told Y ill go out tonight and asked if he wanted anything, He said if possible buy some Lao food. As i usually do when i travelled to a new place/city, I like to explore the city by foot, and just walked to one of the point of interest that is within my walking distance limit and came back a different route. I saw in the pamphlet there is a place called Vientiane walking street, which is on the other side of Chao Anouvong Park, so i walked there with google map as my guide. I did walked pass the Presidential palace and the view at night is remarkable. But when i arrived to the location google said about Vientiane walking street, its pretty much deserted. I walked a little further and saw few a different interesting place, where there are few pop up cabin restaurants and have a stage in the middle of the L shape road, where there are a singer performing. But again, the whole area is empty, not many people, i guess maybe i was there too early and this place would be perfect for drinking. I walked back on the road next to mekong river and on the side there is another area with 3 big sections of shops and restaurants down the stairs from the road. One section have a fun fair style, the middle one have a stage where i spent most of my time there watching the performance, with a host that is clearly gay. There is a group of teenage Lao girls all donning Lao traditional costumes, i assumed from different tribes, and the host called few of them at a time to perform. Most of the performance are dance performance. But not traditional Lao dance that id hope for. Instead, they dance to K-Pop songs imitating the coreography from the music videos. I guess Korean wave is affecting Lao youngster too. It was very entertaining, but the event ended soon enough, so i continue to the last section, which is more shops and this time some restaurants selling international food, like dimsum, sushi, korean fish cakes etc, and there is a fountain in the middle. I went back up to the night makret, did a quick browse and buy one souvenir and then went to the main street to buy some street food for our dinner. I bought some grilled squid, with lao version of som tam, called tum mak hoong, and some noodles. Also bought a gift for Y in one of the shops on the street. Back at hotel, Y still asleep, so I put aside the food and get into bed too mostly on my phone. Not long after, he woke up and eat some of the food. Then he asked if we can go drink outside, but most of the closer shops are closed, so i suggest we go to the mini BigC so he can buy drinks to drink back at hotel. Tonight is the last night, as tomorrow we will go back to Bangkok. One thing i should mentioned about Y, he recently went through a really bad issue back home. So some of our chat has been about his issue and no, its not about money. Throughout our travelling together, there are times that he suddenly in a very bad mood, and I always gave him his space when he need it. Just a bit later after, he will tell me why or what happened, and im more than happy to lend my ears. And this intimate sharing somehow made me feel closer to him and I really appreciate it when boys feels comfortable enough to tell me some of his private issue.

I have just returned home from a one month vacation in Thailand. I decided this time to plan a side trip to Koh Chang. Here is a brief report of my recent adventure. After spending a week in Bangkok, I stayed in Pattaya for ten days, so I was ready to hit the road for a break. In Pattaya I rented a car for the trip to Koh Chang. I have rented vehicles many times in Thailand, because I like the freedom driving a car gives me. I took a boy from a Pattaya bar with me, he was eager to travel with me. It was a good break for him to get away from the bar for a few days, while still making a guaranteed long time tip each day. I have always paid any boy traveling with me the going rate for long time tip daily, and of course I paid for all expenses. I always let them know if they want free time away from me, they can have it, but I have found they usually want to stick with me every day. When I ask them what they would like to do, the usual response is the ubiquitous "up to you". Believe me, if you have planned something a boy thinks is boring, or not fun for them, they won't be shy to tell you. Total travel time from Pattaya to Koh Chang was about 6 hours, including the ferry ride. The first part of the trip was from Pattaya to Laem Gnop in Trat province, that's where the ferries depart for Koh Chang. The drive was about 4.5 hours, very enjoyable, going through Sattahip, Rayong, and Chantaburi. As you can see in this photo, Koh Chang is very close to the Cambodian border. Because Koh Chang is a very large island, I wanted to take the rental car on the ferry to use to get around and explore the island. The ferries run frequently. Tickets are 80 baht for each passenger, and 120 baht to take a car. The ride takes about 40 minutes. After driving aboard, all passengers go up to the second deck lounge for the transit to the island. There are snacks and drinks available on the second deck from a small store and a coffee stand. I had made a reservation for Seabreeze Bungalows in Kai Bae Beach for five nights. I chose the deluxe bungalow, and it was 1,850 baht per night, including all taxes and fees. Not a bad deal for a good room on an island in January during high season. This price was locked in long before the current coronavirus was news. Upon landing on Koh Chang, it took about 20 minutes to reach the bungalow, driving south along several beaches on the way. The further south from the ferry pier, the more rustic the small villages along the beaches are. White Sands Beach is the first beach coming from the ferry. It is the largest beach, and the most developed on the island, something I wanted to avoid. After leaving White Sands Beach, the road begins to narrow, and the atmosphere becomes much more tranquil, with less development, and fewer people. I decided since Kai Bae Beach was located in between White Sands beach and Lonely Beach, it would be a good location to stay. Lonely Beach is the most popular beach with backpackers, and is known for very loud parties every night at different bars that go till dawn. Kai Bae turned out to be a good choice, a very relaxed area, but with a good assortment of small restaurants and bars. There was a Filipino band that played every night at the open air bar and restaurant at the Seabreeze Bungalows where we stayed. This is the bungalow where we stayed. This is the main road running through Kai Bae Beach. If you travel without a car, there are songtaews, making it very easy to get around the island. They charge a fixed rate based on how many beaches you pass. The songtaews meet the ferries, and they strap any large bags on the roof for transport to your hotel. One day we rented kayaks, and paddled about 20 minutes to an uninhabited island offshore from Kai Bae beach. When I first mentioned this, the boy I was with thought that sounded like fun. It included getting up early to rent the kayaks and be on the water by 9 am. I have heard many people say that it's impossible to drag a bar boy out of bed early, but if there's something they want to do, they'll make sure to be ready. There are several waterfalls, and we had planned to hike up to one, but figured since it is dry season with little rain that there wouldn't be anything to see. Each day we went to a different part of the island to explore using the rental car. One day I bought us masks and snorkels. The boy I was with said he liked snorkeling, as he had never done it before. He told me afterwards it was good, but he didn't get to see any fish. There are a few 7-Eleven stores on the island, and a small Big C, and a small Makro. Another reason I chose the Seabreeze Bungalows is it was only a short walk to a 7-Eleven store, very convenient to buy snacks and drinks. Most motorbikes buy their gasoline from stands selling it in used liquor bottles as you still see in some areas of rural Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia. There are many small restaurants, and unlike Phuket, the prices for food were reasonable, about the same as on the mainland. The air quality on the island was great until late every night when a local resident decided it was a good idea to set large piles of leaves on fire, letting them smolder all night. There was an elephant camp just steps from the bungalows, and every afternoon, the mahouts would take the juvenile elephants down to Kai Bae Beach to swim and allow tourists to swim with them and take photos. The salt water didn't bother the elephants, as they were having fun spraying the tourists with water from their trunks. Koh Chang was a good break after being in Bangkok and Pattaya. Five days was a good getaway. It's a place I had wanted to see for some time. It's well worth the taking the time to travel there.

By chance, I happened to see Justin Bieber's recent visit to Ellen's talk show. I learned so many things. For one, I did not know he and Ellen are old friends (if you can believe that in show business). Ellen, Justin, and Yummy. It's a fascinating interview on many levels. Even with all the make-up and styling, Ellen is looking Botox-bloated and hard. Her hairstyle is so WRONG. Justin is still very handsome, but the mustache is too 1970's Christopher Street for me. The most disturbing aspect: at times he seems to feel very uncomfortable in his skin and fidgets his body awkwardly. Yet, he speaks with such candor. I don't get the impression he was a great student in school. He serenades Ellen on guitar, and it's fun to hear his raw talent without all the production. I've never been a fan of his music, but I like seeing raw talent. Justin briefly talks about his sex life, which is also fun. I'm confident he loves licking pussy. He seems a whole lot older now, but he also seems broken in some way. It is very difficult to endure great fame and fortune, and live life in the public from an early age. Most adults do not know how to handle it. I also saw his visit to SNL when RuPaul hosted. I thought both songs and performances were awful. It pained me to watch. Will he still be doing that stuff some people call music and dance at 40? It all looks very 1990's boy-band to me.

I've just read that the Thai government has banned the export of face masks. And the above-mentioned story about the minister distributing face masks seems to put the official imprimatur on wearing one to protect against the Covid-19 virus. But I've noticed that both the Australian and Singapore health authorities are saying wearing a mask is only recommended when you are sick, in order to protect others. Otherwise, it gives a false sense of security. More important is frequent hand-washing and being careful what you touch. Australian advice: https://www.health.gov.au/health-topics/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov Singapore advice: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-coronavirus-hygiene-clean-surfaces-handphones-moh-12430220 The World Health Organisation's advice is similar: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public Top of the list is "washing your hands frequently". There is no mention of face masks unless one is coughing or sneezing. Mack

@Latbear4blk hahaha, probably true!! Just peeking aside at the urinals will do the trick! @redxs If you use Grindr, you don't need to go to a shoppingmall I guess... In general: Google Translate is your friend. Get yourself a local SIM card (try the provider Claro) so you have internet acces everywhere. Having that said: real time cruising, winking to a guy, a smile, the whole experience...it can be soooo much fun!!! So many horny, testosterone filled and open minded guys around, enjoy it! Then...as a general remark...please don't take it the wrong way......to our English speaking forum members...or those with that jolly accent which is called 'American English' ;-) : Learn. A. Bit. Of. Local. Lingo! (eg Spanish...) Wake-up call: the majority of people on this planet DO NOT speak English as their first language. Take in consideration that Spanish is more widely spoken then English. Get out of your 'language bubble' and learn the basics. You will be surprised how easy and how REWARDING it is! TopTip app: duolingo. It helps you to pick up the basics with half an hour practice a day. Finally, to motivate you: I attached a photo of some fine, prime meat from Narcisso's house ;-), Yummeeeee!

Happy Valentines Day from Jaab!!!...whoa!!!

Happy Valentines from Jaab!!!...ooopppsss!!!

No money r anything ask for just chat

Plus three Hails Marys, Two Our Fathers to help you along as well as fucking at least three or four cute twinks in between each prayer session should definitely help alleviate your (DEFINITE and probably expensive) problem ( to be)....if you don't ditch him real quick ! :-)

Yeah met him at Xmas still in contact every day

A common saying among pilots is don't touch any switches unless they are shiny. Best regards, RA1

and your liver too

Today, the confirmed cased jumped 15k new cases, and death jumped to more than 200+ in a day though mainly due to change in acceptable method to determine the confirmed status. Particularly in wuhan, those who have symptom of pnenomia from clinical diagnoses and lesion found from ct scan is enough to announce as confirmed covid-19 so they can immediately put in specialised wards and receive treatment. I do think this is a great move by China gov. Now new cases there wont need to wait for lab testing. Wish they'd done this sooner though.

We keep re-hashing the same WHO and CDC sites since the 1st page of this thread. There are articles out there pointing out that different countries have been taking different positions on the need for masks for the general public. Go figure. One article said that one country was requiring everyone using mass transit to wear a mask. Singapore was on the other end of the spectrum. The Thai minister’s point was that the farang tourists coming through Thailand may have been in contact with someone and communicable - the “we don’t know where they’ve been” point. (At least that was one of his points). Hence the conclusion that since there is some concern that people can have the virus and be communicable with few symptoms, etc., they should wear masks in the high risk public spaces. Thailand hasn’t yet closed its borders, and it is a crossroads country (at least BKK is), and that impacts decision-making. I think the health officials will point out that people often don’t use their masks properly, but just as often don’t wash their hands as thoroughly and as they should. Or use hand sanitizing gel properly. Do it. Do it right. the Thai health minister’s sorry-not sorry statement included statements about racism. And even my feeble facebook feed had some Thai folk saying they were proud of the health minister. So I think in Thailand, at least, the courteous thing to do is wear a mask in the main transit centers, etc.

Why don't you stay at Marine Yensabai have swimming pool and Sunee is just around the corner ?

That's a good idea. I need dinner to sleep, so I do my time restricted eating from noon to 8pm. Try to do no calories outside of that window, and not go crazy at my two meals (lunch and dinner). Works for me. I typically do one cheat day a week where I'll have indulgences. I think it doesn't really matter what kind of diet you do, as long as you have some discipline around eating. When I was working, and stressing, I didn't exercise or watch my eating with predictable results. But, my 46" waist is now a 32" and I don't hate what I see in the mirror any more. I don't like that old guy who stole my hot young body, but I don't hate him!

Visited Ganymede shortly after it opened so my impressions are dated. As Marconi observed, selection was boy-next-door type and happy to hear that it still is. My most lasting impression was that the guy I chose asked me after session if I had any suggestions how he could improve his performance. Turns out he was new to business. Think I said spend less time on legs. No one before or since has ever asked me to rate their service. A few weeks later I spotted him in a massage shop on soi Tarntawan. Would not hesitate to recommend it.

Joan Rivers of all people said a very sensible thing for weight control: ‘Eat whatever you want, within reason, but stop at 3:00!pm.’ Then just a snack of a little bit of steamed broccoli or some such at dinner.

The sugar lobby helped sell americans on the foolish idea that fat was the enemy, and not carbs. My mother, bless her heart, still obsesses about low fat stuff when she ought to be eating more of it. But eating sensibly and exercise is the answer, not obsessing about carbs or fat. I still eat cake, just as a splurge. I don't want the 120 lbs I lost the hard way coming back.

Jaab is so handsome , thanks for the pics

I know u want more Jaab's pics, so here...

To be fair, Macy’s is like the former G.U.M. lately, except the esteemed Soviet retailer didn’t have to run 40% off sales ad nauseum to attract customers. As for Barney’s, it was a pretentious store staffed by self-important clerks. And I’m not a cheapskate. I even have my shirts made.

Far better to scramble three free-range eggs in high-end butter than eating processed carb slop for breakfast.

Day 12 - Day 3 Laos trip Y woke up early today (7am, which is not too early for me), and told me he is hungry and want to go eat outside. I told him we got buffet breakfast at hotel but he said he dont want to eat the buffet, and dont mind going out alone. I told him ok, and i went back to sleep and woke up later when he came back. I had my breakfast buffet alone meanwhile and back to hotel for some more bedroom activities. After day activities, I have to say ive grown fond of morning gymnastic more than at night. Funny titbit during this session though. Y proclaimed that he dont want to cum this morning. I obviously has no issue with that, but also took that as a challenge. Needless to say, halfway through, he suddenly told me he wanted to cum, so mission accomplished lol. Y also asked if he can send some clothes to laundry as he dont have anymore change of clothes after today, so i called the hotel to asked when will we get the laundry and they say by evening, so I told Y he can just use the hotel laundry service. Revisiting Y proposal yesterday, we went to reception again, this time the older staff manning the reception. I asked about the restaurant where we can eat on a boat again and he seems to know the place, and tell us it is a bit outside the city as well. I asked him to give me a quote, so he called the driver and asked. Got a different quote this time compared to yesterday, and i asked if they can make the price similar to yesterday and got a yes and I added few more places near the city as part of the trip. Its already near noonish already so we decided to go to the boat/restaurant first. Thanks to Y, we are going to eat lunch on a boat on the mekong river (technically its Nam Ngum river). The restaurant is called Tha Ngon floating restaurants, and the reception told us it is quite famous amongst the Korean tourist. About 30mins drive to the restaurant, located in small village of Tha Ngon. It is a huge floating restaurant moored to the river bank. Y again took charge on the ordering and asked the waiter about the boat. Seems like we have to wait for a while for the boat, and Y is already hungry, so we sit at the floating restaurant first and order the food. As usual, Y order the food he thinks id eat, mostly seafood on offer here, farm and raised on the river itself. While eating, I can see few boats passing through, and the music is loud enough to be heard from the restaurant. One of the food Y order, which i wouldnt dare to eat is the dancing shrimp, which is small shrimp, eaten raw and alive. The waiter finally signal to us when our boat is ready, long after we finished our meals. Waiter asked if we would like to order anything for the boat ride, so we ordered drinks and snacks, and one plate of grilled shrimp. So, you can actually hired private boat by the hour here. We took one hour boat ride, and it was just me and Y, with 2 quite handsome Lao boatmen, one steering the boat, and another manning the Karaoke system. We had the whole boat, which can easily fit 20 people to ourselves. Surprisingly, there are some, limited amount of english songs VC on the karaoke system, and the guy manning the karaoke system even have a notebook listing some of the code for popular english songs. One thing i havent mentioned about Y, he likes to sings, and listen to ballads kind of songs (cambodian songs mostly). However, on the boat, he didnt find any of his songs, so I ended up the one who sings most of the time lol. Nevertheless, he said he enjoys the boat ride, of course, with him drinking few bottles of beers, and taking multiple selfies. He said next time he want to bring his family and friends here. I can see this would be an awesome location to hold private party very cheaply, maybe hold one for our forum members retreat?. The bills for the food is not much different than any other place in vientiane, but of course i have to pay for the use of the boat, which is extra, but all in all, definitely worth the experience.

Update on this history. We were able to collect $1600. Jayem is back to Boracay for work and for to save some more money. Family started to build new house. They still have not enough money (need $900 more). So, if you can - please help. Sorry for bad quality photos - they were taken on cheap phone.

that number looks like beauty mark for me

Mack - to answer your questions: Yes, the bungalow was a duplex. The room was square, and the bathroom was tucked around, added onto the back side, not visible in the photo from the front. The front deck was thoughtfully offset to provide privacy so the residents from the other unit were not visible when they were sitting outside. As for food, we ate every meal at different Kai Bae restaurants. There was plenty of variety, lots of seafood places, regular non-seafood Thai food, and a number of different options for western food. There was even a Thai buffet place where you cook your own food at your table, it looked popular with locals and some tourists. The only western meal we ate was pizza one night, so I can't really speak to the quality of the western food, although there was a highly rated Mexican restaurant very close to the bungalow compound, but we didn't eat there. There are quite a few small restaurants down the side sois off the main road. As I said in the report, meal prices were reasonable, not inflated like on some islands. Most places are open air, typical of a beach resort. Here's a typical restaurant right on the main road in Kai Bae where we ate breakfast one morning. Note the parrot sitting in the tree in this photo. In addition, there was a place specializing in burgers, one serving Greek food, and the usual western fare of Italian, plus Indian restaurants that seem to be everywhere in Thailand nowadays. There were no Indian tourists, and it looked like the Indian restaurants were starving for business. There was even an Indian tailor shop offering to "make a nice suit for you, sir". Seemed kind of out of place on a laid back tropical island. The restaurants I just mentioned were all at Kai Bae within a short walk from the room. Lots more food options at the other beaches not far away, but we were satisfied with what we found at Kai Bae. The tap water was fine. I brushed my teeth with it, and no strange odor or discoloration in the water. I know what you mean, I remember staying at the Tropica Bungalows at Patong Beach in Phuket about 20 years ago. The tap water contained tiny red worms I could see coming from the tap against the white sink. And this was no budget room, Tropica Bungalows is right on the beach road, directly at the corner of Bangla Road in Patong Beach. I suspect some water gets contaminated from being held in those large storage tanks many places use. The water sits in the heat in those storage tanks, and who knows what grows in the tanks. Yes, I remember when many places on Koh Samet used generators for electricity, before there was a stable power supply. The place I stayed 20+ years ago on Koh Samet would turn off the generators during daylight hours, so no power all day. I agree, the tap water was dodgy on Koh Samet back then, but things have improved a lot in the last couple decades. Of course this was before the internet. Could you imagine today not having wi-fi access 24/7, or power to a cell phone tower when the generators turn off all day? It wouldn't bother me, but the way many people are glued to their screens all day, I think they wouldn't know what to do with themselves with no phone access. There is a sign on the wall in the Balcony Pub in Silom Soi 4 next to the bar that reads "We have wi-fi, so you don't need to talk to each other". Sad, but true. Yes, the sea was clean. No sign of pollution. When we drove to the far side of the island where it's sparsely populated, I noticed a large sewage treatment facility, so they are trying to keep the sea clean. This was many miles from the beaches on the west side of the island. They're doing a lot better at keeping the water clean than Hong Kong is. There are approximately 200 ships in port in Hong Kong daily at anchor and various moorages in the harbors. Raw sewage is regularly pumped from the ships directly into the sea in Hong Kong rather than transferring it to sewage barges for proper treatment. The photos of the beach were taken at Kai Bae Beach. White Sands Beach is a few miles north, and is the nicest and largest beach on the island with the best sand, although the most crowded with people. We went to White Sands one day to swim, but like I say, it's far more crowded. At Kai Bae, there were plenty of places with chairs or loungers tucked back under the trees. No masses of chairs and umbrellas like they have in Jomtien. One more thing to note - public access to the beaches is becoming harder to find. Like many places in the world, resorts buy up big swaths of ocean front land, denying the public access to the water. This is widespread at White Sands Beach. Take a look at the satellite view on Google, and you can see how resorts are blocking off entire beaches from the public. Of course the beaches are public up to the high tide mark, but in some areas of Koh Chang, try getting to the water without trespassing. In Kai Bae, there is open public access to the beach, with a road leading right to the water. That's how the elephants access the beach every day to swim.

Day 10 Laos Trip with Y So Y offered himself to go with me to Laos after i mentioned that im going there. I already mentioned my train of thought about why I decided to take him in previous posts so im not going to repeat that here. My bus arrived at Suvarnabhumi airport around 8.45pm, and i managed to take the 9am shuttle bus to Don mueang airport that arrived around 9.50+ am. Y texted me 5 minute before my arrival saying he is already there. He posted a picture of his location, and i went there and we went inside. We were a bit early, and the check in counter isnt opened yet for our flight. I asked Y if he had breakfast yet, he said no, so we went upstair to have breakfast. He ordered beef bryani and i ordered beef noodle soup. I asked him he like indian food and he said no, he dont like the smell. True enough when the dish came, he took a whiff and told me he cant eat it. I offered him to swap with me. At first he refuse, but i assured him i can eat either of the dishes anyway, so he accepted and thanked me. We wait until a bit later to check in so Y can go to smoke few more times before we enter the gate. Even though i dont like smoking smell, i totally understand the ordeal a smoker have to deal with, and sometimes they are addicted and cant help themselves. Anyway, we checked in and goes inside to wait at the gate. At the gate, i noticed one middle age gay asian had his eye fixed towards Y when he passed by, obviously impressed at his handsome look and great body lol. Once we are seated, I told Y that a guy is obviously thinks he is handsome. Y nonchalantly asked me if I see any girl looked at him as well lol. In order to board our flight, we had to take the bus that take us to the plane, and this is what Y had hoped for as he wanted to take picture with the plane. We didnt get to seat next to each other though, as the flight is full, but we both got window seats at the front of the airplane, and the flight is only a bit over an hour. Flight was on time and as we arrived, I tried to contact the hotel as they advertised they have provided hotel shuttle, but apparently the phone number on the website is not reachable. I then checked at the airport shuttle if they stop near our hotel and luckily they do. So we went with the bus. One thing i quickly realize is the taxi rate over here is really expensive, unlike in thailand nor malaysia. I also buy simcard for both Y and myself, which is pretty cheap (IIRC usd5 for 5gb 3 days) at the airport. I also gave Y some pocket money to spend. We stay at Best Western hotel which is at a great location, near the night market, and close to many restaurants. Not that the city is huge anyway, so lots of the area are reachable by walking. The room are spacious, and i purposely booked a smoking room, with balcony. While the hotel allow for smoking inside the room, I told Y to smoke in the balcony and he has no problem with that. We both felt a bit famish so we head out on foot to find something to eat. We found one garden them bar/restaurant near the big road and decided to eat there. Great food, and Y is really on holiday mood, and ordered a local Lao beer called BeerLao. Yup, very creative name indeed. He took some selfie and share it on his FB. Btw, i mentioned before that Y proves to be a great companion to bring to Vientiane as people here can speak and understand thai, so Y has becomes my translator too. Each time we go to eat, he knows what i can and cannot eat, so he will order the food for both of us, and eat sharing the dishes. We were at the second floor outside eating area/garden for probably 2 hour or so, with Y keep ordering the beer. I dont really have any plan for the day though so taking it easy at this place is totally relaxing. Yu did told me he didnt really sleep last night as he went out drinking with his friends, so we went back to the hotel and I let him sleep for few hours before i join in to cuddle. We both wake up close to 11pm, and decided to walk out to find something to eat for supper. Thankfully there are few bars and local restaurant still open. We ate at this local Laos restaurant serving set dimsum, rice and noodles dishes. We then go back to hotel, had some fun together and then went to sleep. It felt so nice to have this gorgeous hunk next to me even when im not in Bangkok. I am so glad that i decided to bring Y with me.

Day 9 - First repeat of the trip with D (first 2 day in a row too) Back at the hotel, I checked my text and D is texting me asking my whereabout. I told him i just arrived at the hotel and that he can come anytime. He asked where is my hotel, i said Zing, in jomtien complex. He said he dont know where. I said let me share the location. Before i share, he asked if i want to come to his place instead. Thats the first time boy asked me to sleep at his place. He said because i want to wake up early, and he would like to sleep in, so i can just leave the room and he continue to sleep. But i didnt make that connection at that point, so i told him I prefer he come to my room. He said ok, he will come at 11.35pm, very specific lol. He texted me 11.36pm saying he is on his way and arrived around 15min later. I take him from lobby and to my room. This time around, my room is a bit bigger, and have a balcony facing the pool. D enter the room and he brings some food to eat. He also smokes so I tell him we can hang out at the balcony first. We get to talk and I told him im going to Laos with a boy, and he said he is unlucky, because he didnt get to go lol. Not long after, we moved to the room and shower. To be honest, I was expecting some massages first but in the moment, D started to kiss me and I guess there will be no massage tonight. Not that im disappointed though, coz it turns out D is so horny and there is lots of foreplay and sex that night it lasted quite a while. I did say i detected some kinkyness during our massage session before and that he was holding back. Yes, and yes. He even do dirty talk (impressively in english!) and he likes that we get a bit rough too. At one point, he was doing both massaging my back and fucking at the same time lol. I even had to ask him to stop in the middle to rest a bit. And the kisses, he almost suffocate me lol, sloppy kisser. When we stop for a rest, we actually went out to the balcony, him is smoking and naked with only part of the curtain to hide his private part and me with towel lol. Then we continue again and honestly, i had to tell him to finish off, otherwise i think he can still keep at it lol. This was the most passionate sex id ever had. We both were pretty exhausted after, so we clean up and went to bed. Timeline was a bit hazy that night after all that sex. D told me he used to work in Bangkok, sabaidee spa. He said customers are mostly thai, and he said he dont like it not because they dont give good tips, but because they like to ask him very personal questions which made him uncomfortable. I woke up around 6 am. I already packed my stuff yesterday so i just took shower and dressed before i need to leave for the bus. D is fast asleep, and I remember now that he wanted to me to sleep at his room so he can continue sleeping without waking up. I got an idea, I woke him up slowly, pass him his tip and told him to continue sleeping. I went to lobby and tell reception Im checking out early, and my friend is still sleeping. Seems like I'm not the first to do this as the reception says ok, and make sure to put a note on the PC, and tells me Im already checked out. Arrived at the bus station, and the bus is already waiting. Departed to Suvarnabhumi on time. I text Y that I am already otw. He asked where to meet, I told him either Don Mueang at 10am or Suvarnabhumi at 9am. He said he will go to Don Mueang. During the bus ride, I already started to miss H and of course D too. Im still in contact with both. Funny thing about D though, when he texted me, he will say I miss your ass rather than i miss u lol.

I went to gay Sunday night at Maggie Choo one week ago and while I didn’t like the layout (the stage was so small and the audience couldn’t see the divas performing), I liked the vibe. my Dancer Boyfriend was so excited because the stars of Dragrace Thailand were performing. I had not watched the show so I didn’t recognise any of them. But I must say when they came on to perform, their lip syncing and dance moves were fabulous! Dancer Boyfriend and I arrived at 9.15pm by Grab car. Driver dropped off by the side entrance of Novotel hotel after navigating some dark side roads and we ran smack into a huge family of tourists from India in the hotel lobby. (Well, luckily they were not from China!) Dancer Boyfriend asked the hotel staff where Maggie Choo was and we quickly left hotel lobby. past Maggie Choo’s door and down the stairs, we were greeted by two shirtless hunks and very friendly staff. As I had made reservation by Line, we got a small table for two next to a pillar opposite the bar. It had a direct view of the stage which was at the end of the hall but in the end, we couldn’t see much as people streamed in and formed a crowd around the stage. 500baht for two drinks was a reasonable price, I must say. Varied crowd - gay couples, Thais, Asian tourists, Farangs and about 20% ladies. I love the emcee - “welcome to maggie Choo. If it’s your first time, you must do 3 things - intoxicate, donate (to tips box) and participate.” we caught the 10pm show. There was even an audience runway challenge. 5 participants were invited to do a runway catwalk. I tried to persuade dancer Boyfriend to volunteer. “I shy. My catwalk not good enough.” Nonsense! I have seen him dance and I knew he would win the challenge. Winner of the challenge took back a bottle of whisky. Dancer boyfriend’s eyes opened wide. “Next time we come here, you do catwalk and win that bottle whisky,” I said to him. Both of us enjoyed the night. I pushed dancer Boyfriend to front of stage so that he could take videos of his favourite Dragrace Thailand contestants. I stayed at the table enjoying my cocktail as well as ogling at the two shirtless hunks on display. They went up to the cage directly above the bar. After the show, it was disco time. We ditched our table and danced with the crowd. Unfortunately, music was too “old” for Dancer Boyfriend. He prefers modern EDM (electronic dance music) so at 11 plus we adjourned for supper. Anyway, by 11, the place was packed. here’s a photo of Dragrace Thailand season 2’s winner - Angele Anang. Her lipsynch is the best I have ever seen and she has a charismatic stage presence. Even though I prefer gay twinky boys, I must confess to developing an appreciation for the Ladyboy performers. Thanks @DivineMadman for the advice about reserving seats and arriving early.

I recently came across this September 2019 Instagram post from Justin Bieber. I had not read it before, and the honesty revealed in it surprised me. I had no idea that drugs got the best of him at one point. Welcome to show business. It's particularly hardest on the youngest.

As always, excited to see more of him in 2020. He is growing up and looks great. I didn't like the baggy clothes, but still like his voice.
