my fourth night was completely non sexual, tried street seafood in chinatown, went to a cool dessert place, then ended with cocktails at a cozy bar, named Opium Bar.

Day 5: It has been since last trip that i was trying to reserve him, but i was told that he lives "so far away" by mamasan. After a long wait, the day did arrive. He arrived in a big pick up van, wearing a cap, in tight T, jeans and a long neck booth. (as a side note, I have no idea how locals can wear anything more than T, shorts and slippers under this 87 plus weather). With very short hair, rough facial features, he looked more matured than i would have preferred. That was my first impression and i didnt realize that maturity comes with lots of experiences and skills until two hours later. While he was taking shower, i was listening to Come Undone and Santana's Smooth on my laptop. You must know they are usual background music for the models' show if you are a moonlight regular. After a thorough shower, he came out smelling nice and sexy with a towel wrapping around his waist. When he took off his towel, I was speechless by what i saw despite my mental preparedness by mamasan. The moment i was having to wait for months has arrived. His massage was one of the best that i have ever got from Sabaidee guys - better than the one I got from the twunk on my 3rd night. Experience speaks for itself. He did not leave any parts of my body untouched or uncared. My whole body including my feet, digits, fingers/toes or any other appendage were so happy towards the end of his professional massage. no wonder that he also works for a regular Thai massage shop in Chinatown. During massage, he kept checking in with me if i was doing ok. He was a bit too talkative to my taste. While I was getting massage, listening to his life story, I couldnt help but thought of someone who might definitely love this pleasant and talkative guy. 😉 He said he was married until 4 years ago when his wife eloped with "a very handsome" 26 years old policeman. They have twin girls and now they are living with him. He also told me about his other jobs. When I asked him what he would do for fun, he said he would go to "girls massage" and "f-ck them for hours." After a complete hour of professional massage, i was already in an euphoric state. It was followed by his excellent love making skills. It was when I realized that size doesnt matter. 😉😄😁If you are in a completely euphoric state (without any exogenous chemicals, but with your own endogenous endorphins and dopamine release), you can take an 8" appendage like a champ regardless of your previous experience. The whole process was gentle yet hot, deep and intimate, leading to an explosive finish. I am thoroughly satisfied to call it a night.

It was a LONG time ago I went....went to a hammam and 2 young guy friends (bf?) were bathing each other, in shorts. Kind of hot watching and they were watching me. I acted like I couldn't wash my back and they offered to help. No one else paid attention, like it was normal. Then they helped bathe me all over with their hands and a sponge, going inside my shorts in front and back caressing my everything, I think 1 of the guys came just from doing that because he shortly got up and went to the bathroom. The other one got his face close to mine and reminded me of Thai's how they like to sniff and smell as a form of kissing. I got up and went to the bathroom and the other one was cleaning his dick in the sink. No penetration or sucking happened, but it was something I won't forget....there wasn't a big age difference between us, not sure if it would happen today that I am older However, they are hot guys and the most non-Muslim, Muslim's there are. I went another time during Ramadan, that's when most try to be Muslim and I wouldn't even think about going during Ramadan again.

I'll take the open weight-lifting area at Lumpini any day over the newest, Hermes-inspired gym opening in front of Central Word. The luxury brand best known more for pricey handbags wants to attract the well-heeled--as opposed to the necessarily well-built--to its pop-up fitness center at Central World. Who knows? It may prove an interesting distraction but I won't go expecting to see sweaty, shirtless young men pumping iron like those just down the road a bit. Photos courtesy of Hermès Thailand

I get to SDQ on March 29 and will check it out. Also curious what the scene is like at Paco's, both in terms of rent boys and hungry homo tourists who like them.

Some which I enjoyed (and are in the vicinity) include: Northeast Lon Lon I was going to say Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen but it's permanently closed on google maps Mango Tree is always nice, albeit a little pricey

Oh that is interesting as for me the two couldn’t be further apart. Well, Imguess it does make sense if you want to offer different products. I prefer the hotmale for sure. I actually just came back from another night there. I would say close to 20 boys and probably 25 customers during my time there. Another great night and a lot more of a typical party atmosphere. My date and I actually stopped in Tawan since it was near my hotel (The Quarter). There were probably 5-6 boys . Though one I wasn’t sure if he was a boy or a customer. Which isn’t a good sign. However there were three young and cute guys there dancing. And it was a lot more intimate not just in size but also interaction. I saw some naughtiness happening between customer and client which was a welcome sight.

I am arriving in BKK on Monday and looking for restaurant recommendations.... Definitely visiting the @vinapu rated 5* venue and will be taking the chicken and cashews. Where are the other reasonably priced star venues? I can go eat high end and I am sure I can get great food on the street - I am looking for those places that are not flashy or trying to hard. Somewhere I am not going to feel out of place wearing whatever I want to wear... and ideally close to the boys in Silom, but not exclusively if I can get there easily...

Judging by an artist's conceptions of what the futuristic changes will look like (one of which shows the since razed Dusit Thani Hotel in the background), I think this has been in the works for quite some time. From The Nation Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) on Monday unveiled computer-generated images of Lumpini Park as it will look after an upgrade is completed in 2024, in time for the park’s 100th anniversary in 2025. The images published on Facebook show the new and improved 360-rai (0.57 square kilometres) park, equipped with dedicated bicycle and jogging lanes that connect with nearby Benchakitti Park. All cables and powerlines have also been buried underground to create an unobstructed view of the vast green garden in the heart of Bangkok. Lumpini Park in Pathumwan district has been the green lung of the concrete metropolis since it opened in 1925. Paths that stretch for 2.5km around the park are popular with morning and evening joggers while ornamental lakes surrounded by lawns make perfect picnic spots. The park is open from 4.30am to 9pm and sees 15,000 to 20,000 visitors every day. The improvement project will be divided into three phases, starting with an infrastructure upgrade, said the BMA post. “The second phase will add more facilities and create learning areas, while the third will develop unused areas in the park.” Facilities to be added include the six-storey high Lumpini Corridor that will serve as a new scenic point in Bangkok, seamless paths for wheelchair users, additional parking areas and water retention areas to reduce the chance of floods during rainy season.

Pre covid I've always enjoyed Mango Tree, going early (6 - 6:30pm) and avoiding the crowds I have never had any issues with quality or service. Likewise I don't mind G's on Soi 4 to mix it up a bit, I used to like Roadhouse but that is a bit too expensive but will still drop by at times for the lunch specials. I have also had some good meals at Happy Beer Garden over the road from the Raya hotel.

open front sea food restaurant across the street from Raya ( name escaped me ) I often dine there with my guys and universally we both are leaving happy and full . If you go there with boy watch what they order as some sea food treats are pricey indeed. Not just sea food , they have regular stuff ( I don't eat sea food other than pork chops )

Here are a few suggestions from my to-do list, they're scattered around but everything is close enough to a train station or other attractions. I think almost all of them are casual restaurants or street food, some of the list was made pre-covid so check google maps if they're still there.

all good tips!! thank you everyone. 🥰 …… for men may cum and men may go but i go on forever.

The highlight of my third day was reuniting with Mr. T (a hunky ex Sabaidee masseur). T looks great as always and still as sweet as before. One of my fantasies on this trip was to do some "workout" with a local personal trainer. T fulfilled it today. After 90 min workout, he followed me to my room to take his fee and small gifts that i brought for him. As noted before, we communicate through google translate. he said "I rarely work in massage spa these days." He said he is now working at "a pub" which sounded like a host bar to me. not sure if it is becoming a trend here in BKK, but I have been hearing, seeing this trend from different boys here. With limitations of google translate, what I understood sounded like a bar where you can "party", buy drinks to guys on service, spend some time with them etc. T asked me if i'd like to go there with him. according to what he showed me on his phone, the target group is for locals and i am not sure how i could communicate with T and his friends in the pub, noisy with dance music. as a side note, one of the moonlight famous models has also been working at a host bar and his bar focuses on karaoke and drinks. I did not know that I would have to put an addendum to the highlight of my third day. After T left to his work, I was debating if i should go to a bar or have a massage in my room. Finally I decided to go with the latter, and i am glad i did it. thanks to sabaidee mamasan's arrangement, a twunk from Sabaidee showed up well before the appointment time, provided me an exceptional massage session, followed by steamy, sweaty and very satisfying afters.

I hope that they don't eliminate the open-air weight-lifting area as part of the 'improvements'!

Lets wrap up this trip report! Day 4 Again, my alarm woke us for at breakfast 10:15AM. This time after not enough sleep, so we go, eat like zombies and return for another 2-hour sleep. After we wake up, I again tell V I’ll be out till night and this time will return by 11PM. I arrive to meet my friend at Cahtuchak weekend market. Although he lives several years in Thailand, he had never been there. For me it is probably the 4th or 5th time there. I’m getting better at doing that experience and I bought an additional suitcase right upon arrival. After about 2 hours my suitcase (which was a big one!) was full of clothes, toys and other stuff for my daughter, husband and myself. I also bought a small present for V as I knew tomorrow, we say our goodbyes. From there I managed to drag my friend for a late lunch at the Ari area since I had business there. And by business, I mean Chakran. Had Shabu Shabu and scheduled to meet tomorrow for more shopping at the Emporium mall. What I really like about Chakran is that you get 2 for 1 in the same compound. You can get a massage from what is usually a very good variety, and/or you can enter the sauna. I arrived there at 6PM with a two-hour time gap from my next plan so I decided I’ll first have a look at the massage at VCK’s and if I’ll see a stunner, I’ll go for the massage otherwise I’ll enter the sauna. I shared with the manager my plans upon arrival and he took good care of me, he stored my shopping luggage and took me to see the guys on display. He also mentioned that the Chakran compound is now also a hotel. With guests getting free all access to the place’s facilities. That reminded me of Babylon but I don’t think they’ll be able to pull it off the same way – Location Location Location. Ari is just too far away from the other gay points of interests. Anyways, I wished him luck with that and went with him to see the guys. About 10 guys on display, mostly handsome twunks. If I had more time I’d stay for a combo of massage and sauna but having to choose I decided to go to the sauna. Guys on display were of good choice but just no one there, at that time, that made me wanna skip the HOMO FOMO of not going to the sauna. Entered Chakran, about 50 guys on site, with a couple of foreigners besides me. I had my share of fun there, not anything that blew my mind but enough to say that I was happy to leave and I think that place has the best product to offer now in the post Babylon era. I leave for Soi 4 and meet another old friend from another trip report for drinks at Pride bar. Even though it’s Sunday Eve, Soi 4 is still pleasantly full with people. After that I meet V at my room to discover he too bought me a present, so we exchange gifts. It’s my last night so we decide to go to GOD for a quickie. We arrive to GOD to discover an almost empty and open club. I love that and V is disappointed. For me, clubbing is more for the music than about the crowd and I prefer, especially nowadays, to have my space. We enjoy dancing and at 1:20 when the lights turn on, we go back to the room. That night’s sex is V wanting to please me. I always ask V what are his “likes and don’t likes” about sex, in order to know what turns him on or off. When I am presented with a similar question, I am able to produce a long-detailed list of things that I like or don’t. He claims that he is mostly turned on when his partner is turned on by him and that he can satisfy his partner needs. So, V remembers that as much as I can be tender and loving, I can also enjoy being rough. He puts on a feminine thong which he already knows will make me crazy and tells me he’s my whore for the night. Whether he likes it or not, it is still a mystery to me, but he totally obliged that night and to my request, V turned into a total submissive sex toy. And by that, I mean that he let me pound him the way I want, the rhythm I want and to apply the amount of force that I want. I verified with him every 10 minutes that he is OK as I was uncertain if he is enjoying this. For me, it was Christmas. Or Chanukah. He took all of my aggression like a champ and asked for more. That cardio workout ended at about 4AM and we went to sleep knowing that he needs to go to work by noon so we have an early goodbye tomorrow. Day 5 After our routine alarm and breakfast V and I say goodbye. It’s Monday and he needs to be at work by noon and is kind of late already. Goodbye this time is easier than it was last time, less emotional. We promise each other to keep in touch and we both kind of know and feel it’s not the last time we meet so I think it’s less dramatic. I negotiate a late checkout at the W and get a 6PM for free which was awesome. I leave for Emporium and Emquartier malls to meet my friend. Already in the Taxi I realize I have some time to kill after checkout and before the flight back home. I text Sabaideespa’s LINE asking what’s on the menu for this evening. I spot a stunner on of the pics and book him. I meet my friend for shopping and late lunch, we say our goodbyes and I return for my checkout. I arrive at Sabaideespa just to actually see that the stunning guy in the picture is indeed stunning in real. If you want also to admire that guy’s beauty and body, you can either PM me (I don’t feel comfortable posting his pics in public) or send a Line to Sabaideespa enquiring about “Mr A.”. This seems like a case of guy that has little experience if any in the massage scene but his presence compensated on that. In this case a 90 mins turned to be 70 minutes. These is a precise case that is a good thing I asked for 90 mins cause I’m sure that 60 mins would have probably turned into 45. Regarding the session, a lot of red lights were there: he wore a mask and a towel for the first 15 minutes until he dropped them. He did not shower with me and in general had a shy vibe which I respected until he got warmer with the minutes passing by. Also, if Vinapu’s pouring direct oil on skin is a turn off – than he totally did that. As an amateur masseur he was done with the official innocent part in about 20 minutes. The rest of the session was half him edging me (like a pro!) and half muscle worship. Does this qualify as a good massage? Probably not. Did I have a good time? Oh, fuck yes! I left there extremely happy to conclude my trip with that climax. That’s all. Taxi, Flights and I’m back home overwhelmed once again by the big change of rhythm between that intense BKK weekend and returning back to normal life. Negative Covid test upon arrival home surprises me, as I had so much close contact with too many people this trip. God bless Pfizer. When is next time? Hopefully I’ll return for next January’s White Party. I am happy to say we are expecting a second child in the upcoming fall so some trips are in the near future to the USA. If all goes well, then I expect a much-needed vacation will align just in time for WPBKK. Will update. Thank you all for reading and commenting and sharing your thoughts. This is a video from last pride (June 2021) after a year and a half without my queen's appearance during Covid. This was her new opening song. I’m dedicating this song to all BKK lovers out there, trying to have fun like there is no tomorrow. I try my best to do so during my trips 😊

Yes, if anyone has the lowdown, it would be Santiagodc! I have visited Essouiria as a day trip from Marrakech. It was an easy bus ride & I really liked the place so I'd say it's definitely worth a visit. If you wanted a more laid-back, relaxed place than Marrakech, it might be worth staying for a while.

Why should we care? We didn’t do anything wrong. And we have enough fierce Manny-defenders here.

I have not been Gaz69 but a little searching has me intrigued...I'll be following this thread and hope to learn a lot. From Afar magazine: Homosexuality is illegal in Morocco, but some areas are more laissez-faire than others. Essaouira has emerged as Morocco’s unofficial gay capital, with more openly gay Moroccans and expats than anywhere else in the kingdom. The region’s Chleuh Berber tribe is particularly tolerant. Plus, in contrast to other parts of the country, you can bust out the beachwear—bikinis and short shorts are part of the landscape. https://www.afar.com/magazine/the-liberal-moroccan-surf-town-you-must-see-to-believe

if i am not mistaken, it opens only for dinner or must open quite late in the afternoons. After I was introduced to that place by your (and my) favorite moonlight model once, I went back there myself on the next day for lunch around 11- 11:30 am, and they were closed. not sure if it was because of a special day. I liked their food and service was quite good too.

so where they drink their milk?

Worth a visit to the top floors (7th and 8th?) of the Helix section of Emquartier. Literally dozens of restaurants arranged round a helix climbing the two floors. Also on the same floors, I think, are the amazing gardens, to be honest, I never found the gardens but saw photos from a friend who did. The ground floor has inside and outside coffee shops including a(n) Harrod's Ice Cream Parlour.

Lots of excellent suggestions! I would add: Somtum Der on Sala Daeng Rd, near where Senso used to be. Mango Tree has always been a default option for me but, on my last visit in early, pre-Covid 2020, the food was good but the service was poor, especially in view of the prices.

Where is Opium Bar? I enjoy a nice cocktail.

are you training yourself for monkhood or what?

Things has gone back to normal time it seems. At least for hotmale.

There are several Theatron strippers on Instagram. Some describe having careers or studying something or other. A few seem to cross over into fitness training. The stripper gigs appear oriented to exclusive or supplementary income. They also appear to be kept in line by agents that dominate the provision of club entertainment assignments, in contrast to the North American dancer scene. The point being is that money may talk if sums large enough to attract attention, and contact may be possible, but my sense is that escorting on the down low is not the MO except those that are cross-pollinated with St M / GEH. You might entice with a trip to Mexico or St Andres / Providenciales etc. Instagram accounts don’t clue you in to the subset that performs at GEH. The chase all comes across as quite labour-intensive. I hooked up a few times with one guy, a gay club staff member, in Bogotá (paid). He importuned for cash donations after I returned home, so there is that dynamic to contend with as well. Another fellow I met, featured at Theatron at some point in the past but had graduated from that role, and with whom there was social interaction beyond intensely hot erotic when I was there did not request additional cash in our follow-up communication. (Off topic) he had offered to arrange a threesome with a hot dancer friend actively taking gigs at Theatron but scheduling did not work out. The compensation expectations were ridiculously low. Then the pandemic a few months later and intentions to return and strike while the iron was still warm fell by the wayside.

Reach out to Wilson directly via his Twitter account for more info about Whatsapp digits. Says he's in SDQ till Sunday. Want to hookup with him especially bc he's fine being filmed as I throat him. Being 63, overweight and normal ageing gay man health issues, and outta the sun for two years, acclimating to PC is a good shift away from SF. Feeling fully on holiday and not sure I could have given Wilson's double digit dick my total no-gag servicing last night after the heat of the beach. Knee pads and cocksucker mask ready for Wilson on Sunday. Manny has been coy about total fees for his dudes. Curious what the prevailing rate is. Grindr dudes in PC are mostly flakes, or have medium size dicks. We'll see if the SDQ Grindr gays are ready to show me their inches, agree on a price and hookup. Wishing there was a queer sex club and sauna, like in Brazil, in the DR where you could chill and cruise off the street and safely rent a cabin and hung man. If it existed in PC, after seeing all the hot sexy DOM men, I'd be a total cock whore throwing the pesos at these studs. Btw, lotta big tits and bouncing ass female sex workers and their pushy pimps working the streets and bars here.

Be open minded and try new things. Cumming isnt the only way to enjoy your time with boys. 🙃

NoGag, wish you as many power cocks as your throat can handle! Could you please check with Wilson if he's willing to share his whatsapp number for aspiring clients such as myself? Thanks (-: PS - as I just posted in another thread: Given Manny's increasing rates, you might want to consider first trying your luck with self-procurement on Grindr.

A little back to a minor remark of dear khun vinapu, about HTL asking to keep ID of guy during stay. Actually this is GOOD service in Thai way of thinking. They will/should also fone you when guy comes to collect ID to ask if there were not any problems, did you miss anything? Remember this was indeed standard practice in Pattaya when I was there=long ago. And yes, looks do not say very much or rather often reverse. Good service is. Plus that Thai still are mistified in the apparently different tastes that these funny farang have in what is ´handsomeness´. Once had a guy-mostly due to lack of others on a rainy day at odd hours, with 1 of such mook. But he was very experienced and really knew how to use it to full satisfaction. I think this is/was also a fashion rage once and has about disappeared with todays younger guys-except maybe from way back out in the sticky rice areas. But alas-those nasty tattoos, ever growing bigger, seem to have overtaken. Just close your eyes and get the feeling.

Ok, Hotmale has redeemed my faith in the bar scene a bit. Tonight was impressive for the amount of guys. I think I counted 14 maybe 15 boys. Probably an equal or great amount of customers filtered through during the hour and a half I was there. They all were a high quality version of boy next door type with a couple of really cute ones at that. They had a big cock show with five stunning guys showing off their goods. This is what I come for. Well the camp-only in Thailand- atmosphere as well. But it’s a lot of fun to see how they behave in person. See what they are packing etc. the boys were in pants. I should note that they are supposed to be in pants per rules. But somehow showing off exposed genitalia is ok. I don’t know the logic but I’ll stop judging them for walking the tightrope of compliance with the authorities. But what struck me most with the boys at hotmale is they all were attentive and seeking eye contact. Unlike the bored boys of moonlight. Perhaps it’s a management thing with this bar. At any rate I felt welcome and I was happy to pass around tips justly deserved for the show of flesh. I ended up meeting a guy there and though we didn’t go home tonigh together I’ll contact him tomorrow. I’m not much of a night owl and prefer to have daytime contact. If we could conjoin moonlights higher calibre performers with the eagerness and sincerity of the boys at hotmale you’d have a winner on all fronts. As has been said a million times before, they would make more money dropping the price of drinks. I would approve of a door charge or minimum drink purchase. But if the patrons are more drunk, they will certainly open their wallets more. Just turn it into a local watering hole that happens to have naked boys cavorting around on stage. That’s a fantastic concept!

I used Pulse clinic in Silom last time. Friendly and helpful staff, efficient service and reasonable price with a rapid turn around time. PS. thanks to Vinapu for introducing me to Pulse.

Thailand may be under increasing pressure to open up more quickly, considering the way its neighbours are opening up. Although Thailand will lift the requirement for pre-departure PCR tests on 1 April, the Thai Pass, insurance requirements and on-arrival tests are still in place. As seen in the above quote, Thailand's Tourism minister is only asking the cabinet for a downgrade from PCR test to antigen test after arrival on 1 May. No mention about abolishing the Thai Pass pre-application before entry. Reader posted that Malaysia will be liberalising its requirements on 1 April. With that, it will be ahead of Thailand. From 1 April, Malaysia will not require travellers to seek entry permission before travelling, and will only require an antigen test after arrival. However, a pre-departure test is still required. Today Singapore announced a liberalisation too. For fully vaccinated travellers, not only will Singapore abolish the requirement to seek permission before entry, it will abolish the post-arrival test from 1 April. Even the post-arrival test has, for some tme now, been just a rapid antigen test, not a PCR test. It will be gone from 1 April. Singapore still has a pre-departure requirement for an antigen test, but is now suggesting that at the next review in about 2 - 3 week's time, this may be abolished too - which will mean a full restoration of open borders as they were pre-Covid (for vaccinated travellers). The Philippines requires vaccinated travellers to register through Bureau of Quarantine’s OneHealthPass (OHP), an online platform, three days before departure -- no mention about waiting for approval, so I guess it's only registration, not application, unlike the Thai Pass -- and take a PCR or antigen test before flying. No post-arrival test, no quarantine. Vietnam requires a pre-departure PCR or antigen test and submission of an online health declaration. No post-arrival test. No quarantine. Cambodia, to the best of my knoweldge, is ahead of its neighbours. Fully vaccinated travellers do not have to take pre-departure or post-arrival tests when entering Cambodia. Disclaimer: The above information is what I read today in a quick bit of research into entry requirements. I don't swear that my information is fully accurate or up to date, so please don't rely on what I'm reporting here without doing your own checks. Indonesia is the one country where I am getting conflicting information, so I have left it out from this survey. Some information is about Bali only, others are about the whole country... confusing!

Definitely an outdated list. It looks to be from 2017, at the latest.

Moonlight was quite busy on a Wednesday night. By the time I arrived there around 9:30-40, there were only two tables initially. There was a noticeable number of fresh faces among the floor boys on the stage. I immediately spotted a handsome one who has been on my to do list since my last trip. That time, he was working for jupiter. When I saw him last night at moonlight, my heart dropped. Most of the floor guys were in their white T's and jeans except a few who were half naked, showing off their muscular upper half. More and more people were trickling in just before the show started at 10:40. There were only four models last night - Tae, Mark, Nutt and Smart. The show was a mix of old and new performances including a ladyboy lip syncing. no, no she didn't flash her skirt. By the time the show finished, all the floor boys except one were offed!!! Then 3 guys from hotmale came over to fill in. It was a good night for moonlight. Admission 400 baht. boys drink 400 baht. and off fee for a floor boy 500 baht.

I have friends in Cuba and stay in regular contact. Things are not great these days, the drop in tourism has had a significant impact on the economy. Cuba received virtually zero medical support during the pandemic and had to develop its own vaccine. There continue to be food shortages, as Cuba relies heavily on Mexico for a number of staples and goods. That being said, Cubans are tough and know how to manage tough times, they are just very hopeful that the tourists return soon and the economy can begin to grow again. I am headed down in May to Havana for a long weekend, can post more after that trip.

You could try contacting Freddy or one of the other 'service providers' to see what rate they charge. Your question seems reasonable, IMO.

March 2022: This time, I wanted to take an advantage of having more than 100K points on my account, so I booked a business seat with Swiss. Swiss business was just ok compared to other famous airlines especially the ones from Asia and middles east. Arrival was almost an hour delayed. Touched down around 6:40 am (supposed to be at 5:50 am). There was no line at Thai Pass check points or at the immigration counters. after having to wait for a few minutes for my checked luggage to come out, i was at the meeting point near Gate 10 for my hotel pick up. The hotel rep brought me out to a Van. That hot and humid wave hitting on my face once outside the glass doors - the smell of LOS!!! how much I missed it! As usual, the rep took pictures of the car license plate and myself. No traffic on the roads and I was already at the hotel lobby by 7:40ish. Check in was a breeze, but I had to choose a fast track option for my PCR test since I was told to wait for more than 3 hours until 11 am for the swab otherwise. Since I was afraid i would have to end up wasting the whole day in my room, i chose the fast track and it was 2500 baht extra (on top of what was already paid via Agoda for my test and go package). so total cost was about USD 150 plus 2500 baht. I was swabbed immediately on the hotel's 21st floor like the last time. Probably because I chose a similar room, I was assigned to the very room just next to the one I stayed last time. Layout is the same. It is a very spacious room, with a balcony, a kitchenette, a bathtub and a separate shower area, a separate dining area, and even a washing machine inside. This time, I was provided only one meal. Food is pretty ok. Not long after i finished my breakfast and shower, the phone rang and i got the result - "Congratulations Mister, now you can go out". After a short nap, I went out to the mall next to the hotel for money exchange. The rate was not bad at all (33.38 - higher than 3 months ago). Then I proceeded to a "lunch date" with my local friend, came back to the hotel room after late lunch, then passed out for a few hours. When I woke up, I messaged Sabaidee mamasan and inquired about some guys that i had been eyeing on since my previous trip. My first and second choices were not available, so I settled with the third choice - another muscular, meaty, and handsome hunk who was born in a neighboring country. His looks and body are very much comparable to Mr T (a favorite of Vinapu and myself on our recent trips), but he was not as sweet as Mr T. Let's call him Mr. KW. He arrived well on time. I had to go down to the lobby to pick him up since we needed the room card to operate the elevator. the hotel security or front desk didnt bother me bringing him up. Mr. KW looked better in person. A bit cold and reserved though. Massage was substandard, but afters were satisfactory to the point that made me cancel my initial plan to go to moonlight or hotmale on my first night. I satisfactorily called it a night and rested to bed early.

I’m actually interested in how the trip went. Would you be kind enough to give some info?

A very good point.

Any reason why Goldmember's captivating trip report is being hijacked by a torrent of judgmental posts? This is a forum dedicated to men who visit a third world country, in order to solicit young guys who would be out of their league back home and/or to purchase prostitutes at bargain basement prices. There is no room for judgement here.

Day 3 We woke up by my alarm at 10:15AM. V asked me to set up the alarm so that we don't miss breakfast. When presented with a buffet, V eats for an entire family. Given the fact that we have 10 mins to stock up with food he piles up several plates and actually eats them. Breakfast at W is good. After that, I said my goodbye to V, told him I'll be back in the room by 9PM and that he is welcomed to do whatever he wants. He had his own key to the room. I have a friend from my time at the army that in recent years lives in Koh Phangan. I told him I'm coming to BKK and he said he will come too to enjoy the city and see me. We met at Yunomori Onsen & Spa at Sukhumvit. It's a really nice place to hang out, chill and facilities are in great condition. I thought I'll get bored but actually I really enjoyed that heterosexual experience of being naked among other men in an environment that Is relatively non sexual. Nonetheless, I was also surprised that there was some eye candy there. Several hours later, we go for Ramen and I tell him I'll meet him tomorrow as I have other business to attend to in the Sukhumvit area. He knows what I mean by that. I try to avoid the Sukhumvit area since it's jammed, far, and heterosexual but if already there, I knew I had to check the neighborhood's product quality. And by that, I mean Krubb Sauna. But before I review Krubb it must be said – Babylon is missed. Its absence was prominent during this trip. It's not that I don't like the other local saunas – I think they are great. But Babylon was something else. It was a different product. In Babylon, me being white was an advantage. Most people there were foreigners looking for foreigners or Asians looking for foreign men. I don't feel that my race is a disadvantage in the local saunas, but it is not an advantage. I know it can be argued that the local saunas are more Asian for Asian but I don’t feel that way. I do think that in the local saunas, rejection is commonly misinterpreted by white people as rejection by race. I think it's mere rejection, which is rarely based on race. Anyways, in addition, the level of facility in Babylon was nothing to be compared to the other saunas. I hope that a decent place that tries to enter that specific niche will pop up soon. RIP Babylon, I did a lot of sodomy in your premises. Arrived at Krubb sauna at 6PM on a Saturday eve. Staff were welcoming and friendly and explained that it's naked month and towels are provided only for showering. I loved that, and especially the enforcement of that policy as they kept enforcing that rule inside the compound and not only at the locker rooms. Facilities are high standard and well maintained. Compound has several levels which can be quite tiring and it's the same in the other local saunas I've been too in the past (R3, Chakran, Mania). Place is nicely full with about 100 men, me being the only white guy. The common dish that is served that night is Asian Twink and Asian Twunk which is not my favorite but it is something I can work with and I have my share of fun. An hour later I find one that is my type, and play with him. He asks me if I'll stay for the party which I was unaware of, but I already knew that when they say in the local saunas "party" they mean orgy. I tell him I'll probably stay and he tells me to come find him at the party. At 8PM, about 100 men went to a single 40SQM room at that place. My Covid conscious told me to get the fuck out of that room but my dick told me to stay. In Thailand I mostly listen to my dick. At home I am able to do more negotiation between the two 😊. In that room I spot my guy from before and realize he is part of the entertainment of the event. I come to see him, we have our public fun and I leave. All and all that place was fun, entertaining, well maintained. I leave and get back to the room where V is already waiting for me to go out for dinner. We go out for dinner at Soi 4 in the place opposite to the Mexican place and have another mediocre, reasonable dinner. From there we move on to GOD again. It's a full house that night (But still less than pre Covid), and parting with V was similarly great till lights turned on again at 1:20AM. This time I knew V would insist on an after party so I mentally prepared for a long night. You may be fooled by the term "after party" to thinking that it is a party with people dancing. If it was, I'd be more inclined on going, but it was a chem-sex party. Which means less party, more drugs and sex – which is a combo that is not a turn on for me. Anyways, we go, it is in a beautiful luxury penthouse at a very high tower. I suspect that there is an informal contract between the owner and some of the hot attendees – they come and play at his party – he supplies the drugs. Some of the more dangerous drugs are on the menu that night, but V stays with E and G. I don't even drink alcohol there, as I don't feel that it is a safe environment. V and I play, he takes more drugs and by that also he is more awake and energetic. At 3:30 AM we start negotiation on leaving time. I want 4, he wants 5, we leave at 4:30 AM for some more private fun. V knows that I'm a huge fan of oil play and he surprised me with a large Jar of Coconut oil for that night's fun. Bed is soaked with oil when we go to sleep at 6AM.

I totally agree with you . If we reverse the point of view to the boy : Of course, I am aware that what falangs really want to see is my body rather than myself. I learnt that if you respect the boy and threat them nicely and being polite with them they usually will threat you the same , Unfortunately most of their clients only want mechanical sex and the experience is robotic indeed.

Perhaps but in few cases I'd give them some allowance for feelings. The same way we look at their physical attributes but also smile and personality , they are not different. Money speaks but at times I have feeling some of them like us for what we are too and why not ?. Same same like boys, customers may be robotic , cum and go types but others warm and engaging and guys may appreciate it on pure human level.

It’s still open and going strong.

Any update on the status of the bar? Planning a trip and I'm not sure what's going on with the current restrictions.
