Just had a quick trip to Rio, it has been a while since I went there, first time after the pandemic. Also, first time in May, all of my last visits were in Dec/Jan. Visited new Meio Mundo on Monday, with little expectation. As I expected the guys were not really my type (muscled guys), a chill place. I think it is my first time here, although I did think about going there before. Visited Point 202 on Wednesday, it was similar to my previous experiences there: the guys are not really my type, though I would definitely see some guys from 117 there on Wednesday. The main issue with 202 is that it can be very social, meaning the boys would socialize with the regulars and engage less with less frequent visitors, like tourists etc. Either way I managed to have fun with two 117 guys. Visited 117 on multiple occasions. I felt like there were a lot less hot guys at 117 compared to my previous visits. Could be because it was May this time or it could be because pandemic changed it. Before, I would see multiple really hot guys: tall, muscular and good looking, sometimes model level guys. This time, I rarely saw them. Of course, there were hot guys but not the level I used to see before pandemic. So many more frequenters can comment on that. I was a bit disappointed in my initial visit on Tuesday (clients' day) and was just chilling in the sauna. There was a tall black guy, not in good shape but had a big tool, who spoke good english. He chatted with me, so I asked a few questions and asked if he sees less guys after pandemic, he agreed. Maybe it is pandemic, who knows. Still the rates were reasonable and I had to pay a massive fee for my air tickets so I tried a few guys whenever I visited 117. There was an airforce guy, I think his name was Austin, quite confident about himself but he wasn't really my type. Showed me his instagram and he knows it works and it worked for me. I just said, why not try an air force guy because it is cheap haha. Actually he quoted me 400 initially, and I couldnt help but laugh and said no. He was not really my type, so I said 150 with the preparation to be rejected but immediately accepted it. I think the rate was 150 these days, I paid 150 for everyone but one. He has a good attitude and even though the sex was not great, it was not bad and he at least tried his best. This is something I really like about Brazilians: their service oriented attitude. Another one was tall slim/toned actor, who looked like young wolverine(Hugh Jackman). I like his face, nothing else was my type, except maybe his size, which is on the thinner side, not huge. Again, cheap, so I went for it. Ok sex, but good attitude, so I was happy. He kept asking me every time I am there, I kept dodging nicely lol Those are two memorable ones, I had a few more but don't remember the name, kinda tanned skin, tall typical brazilian face, sex was good in most cases, but look was not really the model like hot faces, which is something i used to see before. The unfortunate thing is that I had two not so good experiences this time. One was with Reyzinho. Black, muscular. I kinda liked him because he would come and kiss me so passionately but his tool was too big for me, so I didn't wanna try him. But he was very persistent and told me he would go slowly etc. I think once I read here that the guys with big ones tend to know how to use it, so eventually, I agreed. But once in the room, he had a bit of an attitude. No passionate kissing and no connections. Without kissing, I can rarely take big ones and I explained to him but he doesn't speak english and google translate has its limits. He was kinda angry and started blaming me for not letting it in. I got even more pissed because without kissing, I was not able to relax or get in the mood. I explained it to him but he said he didn't understand. I am sure google translate had enough for him to understand but he just used it for his advantage and pretended not understanding. Anyway, after a few trials, I just said, we stop and leave. I paid the agreed amount full but didn't get what we agreed on, so wasn't happy but when he got the money he didnt even say thanks. Next day he came to me and asked again, I was just shocked that he had the courage to ask for another session after that experience. Weirdly, he even texts me now once a while even though I don't reply....I didn't know what I could have done, like maybe talking to the manager? I have no idea how they treat cases like this but I know they select boys carefully. In any case, I saw some guys arguing with the manager (pay desk) when they were leaving because of overcharge so I didn't feel like talking about it with the manager. Also, next day another guy was talking about Reyzinho at the reception but no idea what it was. I suspected it was about paying drinks for him because he bought a drink for him before leaving. Another bad apple was a guy from Sao Paolo, he frequents the Lagao apparently, short and muscular, on the pale side of skin tone. He said he kisses with tongue but when we went to room, he just had a dry kiss and went around without kissing. No more kissing. Never had this sorta attitude at 117, but i was like whatever. Anyway, maybe these two bad cases along with less guys I really liked, I didn't have the amazing experience I used to have there before. It is a lot less costly for me to go to Barcelona, which nowadays has a lot of good options, so if I include the travel cost, I ended up not really feeling like coming back to Rio. Maybe it will change but for now, i will stick to Europe for a while Interestingly, I saw some good looking guys on online websites. Like the model looking guys I used to see at 117, even though they were not the ones I know from the saunas. I kinda thought maybe the hot ones started using the online thing rather than the saunas. Maybe experienced guys here know better and can chime in. I had one very good hire from online. I think it was only 200 at his place, including massage, so it is very similar to the sauna rate if you include the room cost. Many were advertising for 300 but I can't have so many outside hires after getting some in the sauna, so the uncertainty of quality time when hiring from online really made me explore the online part far less, maybe I should have gone for online more

Should've been the title of the post 😆 I think more guys are working online via sites and apps....the entry fee keeps rising and is a gamble if they get a programa or not. The saunas don't select they guys, so they have no control if muscle guys come or not. It's hit or miss.... I was in Lagoa tonight and were 5 guys that I could've gone with...brought 1 back to my room, that I have never seen before, from Recife and was GREAT. I'm not a fan of Rio, I'm more big city vampire.....SP usually fits all my needs, apartments, guys, restaurants, flights.

getting old has it's uses I guess

I‘m 18 years old and from/in Germany, currently studying Psychology and doing escorts as a sub/bottom or companionship boy ^^

More importantly, where you are at.

Whilst I am Pattaya based I often have a day in Bkk when my usual routine would be to have a morning cruise on the river followed by massage and sex in one of the parlours later on. I usually do some research online as to location and what is available, but it’s usually rather hit and miss as to the quality of the massage and then how enjoyable is the sex. These days I’m mostly bottom and 100% that way in the parlours. I want top boys who are well equipped and rock hard when it comes to penetration, and also to be patient when I ask them to slow down. It’s a happy day when these 3 factors come together.

I was in Club 117 these past two weeks and it was not like before the pandemic. Very few good looking. Lagoa in SP had gorgeous models

The closest you can get to a forecast is by communicating with the host ahead of time. But there are 2 levels of entertaining. One is an overnight guest; the other is a briefer visit by your guest. This difference calls for a different kind of inquiry on your part. You can ask whether you are permitted to have an overnight guest that is not on your booking. That may trigger the more stringent requirement of a formal registration, depending on the house rules. I certainly would not expect that I could have a few different guys sleep over during a trip. It is unlikely that you would be able to produce evidence to a concierge/security that a host endorses a free-for-all type of entertaining. Your capacity to hold a host to their word would be reduced because the host may not fully grasp your ask, and is not in charge of a premise’s overall security. My experience is limited because I sleep alone. One may also have a favourite place to book repeatedly and not wish to jeopardize a host’s receptivity to subsequent bookings, in the event that your sex tourism agenda is surmised. If you only plan the prerogative of a short visit by a local “friend” from time to time I would frame the inquiry very differently. Simply state that you have no plans for a group party but that you may want to have a friend in for a drink. Most hosts would likely be reluctant to restrict such an option. Explicitly ask if this type of light entertaining requires any formal step. Most hosts support the idea that, in contrast to a hotel, your stay is your home away from home. Naturally, they would also have likely scanned reviews about you, as a basis for trusting the innocuous and respectful nature of your use of previous bookings, but you may not have any precedents as a novel platform user. As one host put it to me regarding a visit of a few weeks, I am considered as a home renter and the conventional landlord-tenant terms of reference apply in spite of the platform intermediary role. This messaging was spontaneous, not at all connected to an inquiry on my part about 3rd party visitors I might invite. However, make sure that you record the mutual understanding of what is acceptable, eg screenshot of the internal messaging component of the app, in case a concierge or guard challenges you. Of course once you have spirited your friend into the unit there is little to stop you from entertaining until the next day. Any reputation liability would depend on the lodgings infrastructure. However, I would suggest seeing him off the premises the next day. It is unlikely the visit would have been tracked unless there had been a formal signing in. Many places are gated at the street entrance both entering and leaving anyway and you may need to use a key or fob to let him out, or cue a concierge/security to release the barrier, or you may decide to both go out for breakfast. Of course be aware of the optics in terms of what you look like (age, etc) in relation to the total unspecified quantity of nephews, grandsons, etc that enjoy a beer up in your unit when local drinking holes are typically an option.

Better location, in my eyes. Smaller, spread out on multiple floors, only a couple of "muscle" types, not as many as before, no loss for me. More expensive, like everything else ......can't believe a city the size of SP only supports 1 gay sauna like this. But is still good most times and better than nothing and gives me a reason to visit SP

Yep. Those model-looking hotties you all are missing from 117 are probably available on Instagram nowadays.

Hmmmm guy from Recife I met on my recent April trip? Not too many from that neck of the woods. Have we finally shared the same DNA? Blood punters now? If so, will wonders never cease? Can’t fathom it. 😲😮🫢🤣

Yes, I’m sure they adhere to same restrictions as other retailers.

And more about you...where you're from , age, role...etc 😉

Your overall impression is similar to mine. Several weeks in Rio each of past 2 winters. I need to get away from northern cold and there is always the hope that a nice volume of impressive looking trade will make the travel distance worthwhile. Fortunately, the cost of living for extended vacationing there is very manageable and nonsexual aspects are fine, though getting rather same old same old routine. Expectations for access to guys that appeal has required some adjustment. Fewer and farther between but generally positive exchanges. Nobody that I absolutely need to repeat with. Not much evidence of “new crop” phenomena. I no longer experience withdrawal upon return home, no longer immediately look at flights to help in coping with missing the opportunities that used to have more ‘wow factor’ and contribute to the regret of leaving. If my home base was Europe I doubt that I would go to Brazil other than for seasonal southern hemisphere climate. I have no strong desire to return to Rio. That level of indifference would have been inconceivable several years ago.

Don’t hesitate to state your specific requests to manager by phone or Line. There are ample shops around Silom and certainly Saphan Kwai where there are many Myanmar masseurs on call.

From Thai PBS World Two more parties join Move Forward-led coalition Two more parties have agreed to join the coalition, led by the Move Forward party, bringing the number of partners to ten, with a combined 316 votes in the House of Representatives. Phicharn Chaowapatanawong, deputy leader of the Move Forward party, said today (Friday) that the Chart Pattana Kla party has agreed to join the coalition. The party won one constituency MP seat and one party-list seat. Earlier today, the Mai (New) party, which has one party-list MP, also agreed to join the coalition. Phicharn said that they will send the draft memorandum of understanding (MoU), to be signed by all coalition partners, to the two newcomers for review and to propose amendments, if they have any. A formal press conference and the signing of the MOU among the ten coalition partners is scheduled for Monday, May 22nd, which is the ninth anniversary of the coup that toppled the government of then Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. The other eight parties are Move Forward, Pheu Thai, Prachachart, Thai Sang Thai, Thai Liberal, Fair, Palang Sangkhom Mai and Pheu Thai Ruam Palang.

Did you push him in ??

You're quite the persistent stalker 😆

I made a choice in writing the post not to name/number him. He is not the only boy over the last decade who didn’t have a clock and whose watch was from the night market and doesn’t work once it leaves the vendor. Since no upfront cash was involved added to a store of experience. However, I am able to post that #95 waiter (Taron Edgerton) was a more than satisfactory substitution.

Tomorrow (Thursday) at dawn I fly to Beijing for a week of catching up with special friends. I wont know if the Forum is accessible from within the Great Wall of internet curbs. So, I will post a run down of Tuesday and as much as possible about today, Wednesday, that I can write before going off to meet esteemed forum guru reader who has only this afternoon arrived from his secret location in the US. Backing up to Tuesday. This to my mind was a day of being disappointed by others. Originally, I had rescheduled my guided tour of some sites that had been morphing over the past 4 years. Guide due at 9am. 9:30 no show, no message, no call. Grrrrrrr. So I went to my hangout, Coffee Grinder Silom and was cheered up by the infectious camaraderie. I did some walking around this time looking up to observe how Bangkok was expanding upwards. Then knowing I had a 3pm appointment to meet one of the waiters from Freshboys, I did some preliminary packing, adding a Patpong knockoff backpack duffle bag to store things I wont need in China that would add weight needlessly to travels. I’d already decided to return to Quarter Silom when I come back from Beijing via a stop in Pattaya and the hotel tells me with a smile that they will store my knockoff luggage. 3pm arrives and….grrrrr. What is it with me today, did I turn into a toad? No show again, I text and retext. Repeat the morning remedy with a smoothy at Coffee Grinder and a massage at Prime. Around 6pm, 3pm-er is texting that he overslept and could I come tonight and take him from the club. I say no, gently remind him that the idea was me to avoid the 800 THB off fee. I go Silom Center for some exercise and to extract some baht from an ATM. The One currency exchange at Siam Heritage wouldn’t change my $100 US bills as they had the blue laser tag line down the center. Confused as newer Thai currency also has a similar laser line. Cash is one thing, ATMs are another. I like the one at the bank in Silom Center as a human banker will break the larger notes into smaller. I am now getting texts from another Freshboys waiter I know. This one looks like a Vietnamese version of Taron Edgerton (mea culpa, looking for looks). We arrange to end the evening together. As I’m on Silom, I drop by Circus and have a drink with Pao as he works a sparsely populated section. Customers come in, I say good bye and walk over to Hot Male Bar where the Laotian will lavish much needed attention on me. Which they do. The no-show waiter comes over as does the soon to be my evening guest. No-show suggests he get it right on Wednesday. Suspecting that saying yes is easier than arguing as he doesn’t seem to be able to function in the afternoon. Freshboys Mamasan sees her staff in the Hot Male Bar tells them to leave me alone and has a drink, downing a Leo in one swig! Impressed the Laos (and me). I tell tonight’s entertainment that I am going to checkout the show at Moonlight and will come back and off him. He offers to join me, I decline as I want to get there early to check out the rotation as many Forum reports mention that its not what it used to be. Forum is correct. 18 - 20 boys in the rotation, three at a time. A mamasan who once worked with Lucy at the bar across from Maxi’s on Twilight becomes my guide telling me who speaks English, who will do this or that or both. Guys are in long pants and wearing. black Moonlight T shirts. Three of the guys wear glasses. Three cheers for the myopic (I one of them). One guy, from the far south of Thailand, appeals to me. Mamasan has him come over and Huc (#38) reeks of charm,smiles broadly, and is well constructed on the tall side. After some conversation, I tell him, I’m already committed for tonight. I give him some red notes and receive a hug and a kiss. He is off, Iask Mamasan where the crowd is as it is almost 10 and it’s more than sparse. Guess I should have checked with Google and not the Hot Male Laotians as Moonlioght has a 10:30 show time…Mamasan says it really starts at 10:45. I decide to leave and pick up my waiter. At Freshboys, I decide to watch the end of the rotation and with my waiter now seated next to me, and my no-show hovering, I see #7 (see Sunday’s report). Smile and he joins our grouping which includes visits from Mamasan. #7 still is as striking as before and still as young looking. Decide I will survive without some diva acts and pole ringing cocks, I say good bye to #7 and as I go to give him some red notes, he nudges my hand away and says “no, you have good heart, thanks” and returns to the rotation. Waiter Taron Edgerton and I depart. He also knows the hotel. We have a moderately active time together and I receive a massage post release. In normal Viet style there are something’s he wouldn’t do, I knew that would be the case, so a good time was had by all. As he was leaving, in trueVIet style, he asked if I could give him some extra baht so he might attend a basketball tournament in Cambodia. In my style, I said, sorry but no. And I went to bed.

My body decided I need to sleep in after I’d said good bye to #10 Sam. When I did wake up - thanks to the miracle of jet lag it was still only mid morning. I had breakfast in the hotel - fairly standard but I noticed that there is some experimenting such as cheesy potatoes, Italian chicken, etc. The western basics are never warm enough scrambled eggs and Thai versions of corn flakes and puffed rice. The main thing on my schedule today was originally a tour but since my four hand massage had been confirmed, I put off the tour until tomorrow (Tuesday). Guide was happy as he had another client who wanted his services. WIn/Win. My toes and feet were showing some wear and tear and when I was at MBK I wandered about looking for the shop that was my Bangko base for pedicures. Gone, gone due to covid. So I did what any responsible pedicure-ist would do, I asked Google. He/She/It/They made suggestions and one, Nailosophy, was nearby on a Sala Daeng side alley. I walked into a small crowded shop. The manageress, a bubbly young woman, welcomed me and plunked my now shoeless and sockless feet into some bubbly hot water. I, the only male in the vicinity, was then ignored for 20 minutes while the staff worked with four other clients who were in various stages of selecting polish for their nails (hand and toes) and the designs and colors of said extremities. In addition all had their attention drawn to televised election results. I mention this as whenever the video showed Pita Limjaroenrat, the leader of the party that used orange as its color, was shown, an almost sexual sign went up from the the depths. I suspect the fact that Pita is handsome and sexy might have had something to do with the reaction as a “desire” for change. Eventually, my feet were tended to and my nails were added to the options for improvement and the cost was 700 THB about a third of such service at home. Recommended. On much improved feet I wandered around checking out the marijuana shops - the number of them and the size and location. Coming from Berkeley, a California city that 20 years ago instructed its police not to enforce marijuana prohibitions and was one of the first to approve sales and shops, I was still surprised by how the shops here seemed to be everywhere. It might be the “hood” but it’s there. Wondering what passengers on flights from Thailand were now screened for. Must drive the drug sniffing dogs to madness. The rest of the day was another nap, some swimming, and a return to Coffee Grinder - which was closed but the owners were doing some clean up so there was a chance to learn some more. The owner/managers are a couple Phillipe and Paco from France. Phillipe is the baker who creates various fresh pasties and cakes and encourages his customers to try some on the spot fried bread options (tastes way better than I can describe it). Note this shop became my morning staple for a beverage and pastry and an afternoon stop for a smoothy. As the sun went down, I headed to K-Man Spa via BTS for my meet up with Sun. There had been some back and forth as to confirming that the third would be Fin. Neither Sun nor I were confused but the Spa texted to make sure what I was looking for could be arranged. Finally, Sun explained to the manager that the shop would get the business but the arrangements had been made without their active involvement I arrived, Sun was waiting, the manager on duty explained the charges (1000 THB for a couples room for 2 hours, tips up to me). Once in the room, I had a shower (down hall), passing one other client and therapist on their way to their space. Fin arrived. Massage begins….and, like a bad dramatist, I will draw the curtain on our activities. I have a limited imagination but will note nothing was left to the imagination and I also had a good massage. One of the only times I’ve been exhausted by a massage. For the accountants - I tipped each what I paid #10 Sam for short time. THB well spent. Back to Silom with the intention of catching either Moonlight or Jupiter’s show. It started to rain as I exited the BTS. Reaching soi 4, I decided to get out of the rain and get some food. Three steps into the soi and the champion grabber grabbed me and took me to Circus telling me that Pao was back. Long timers on this forum, will recall an earlier time when there was a place called Twilight and at the fulcrum point was a drinks and food spot called Maxi’s. Positioned so that both public and employees of the many clubs and venues would pass by, smile to regulars at Maxi’s, chat, have dinks bought for them and by them. Delightfully presiding over Maxi’s was the owner assisted by his waiters led by Pao. Not only was Pao a source of information, a postal box to pass messages to regulars, but he was so incredibly handsome and sexy in the most down to earth manner. He was, damn it, straight. I know I lusted after him more than any off. Then Twilight began to evaporate, Maxi’s announced its closing and Pao told the customers that he had invested in a farm back at home where his parents and son lived and would return there. We lost touch, Covid came, word drifted that Pao was back in Bangkok as his farm had failed because of covid preventing him from transporting his fruit and produce. I’d mentioned this on Sunday to the grabber, who told me that Pao was working on soi 4 but was back at home as his father was sick with cancer. (Amazing what one can learn from folks!!). That lengthy preamble out of the way, the grabber propelled me to Circus and a reunion (joyful) with Pao. I realize such stream of consciousness babbling on my part isn’t what readers necessarily want to know. BUT for many years, this man was the center point information, hospitality, charm, and steady handsome integrity. (And lust object). We had a great time catching up while he was tending to his job. Thank the rain gods for having me turn on soi 4. Leaving I thanked the grabber who propelled me into Banana, business is business. Same positive welcome, reinforced by the tips I’d left the night before. Better seating, completely different show than the one I’d seen the night before. Lots more male to male lip syncing, plots,etc. As two staff placed my hands on their private places, I could see the room was again full, significant number of women. One table ofAsian high rollers (bottle service) was occupying Madam Lucy’s time and attention but not completely as she spotted me and was over for a kiss. Knowing the drill, but not resisting,I knew a tip would be expected. It was given once I freed my hands. This had been an extraordinary several hours. Exceptionally exceptional massage service. Reuniting with Pao, then some enjoyable time at Banana. On my way back to the hotel, I thought I should get the number of my Sunday night off from Freshboys, I did, it is #7. Quan one of the waiters at Freshboys offered to go to my hotel. We go back with some history and arranged an afternoon meet - which avoids the higher off fee for waiters (800 THB). Immediately went to sleep once I was in my room. So exhausted physically buy buoyed by finding Pao, I fell asleep/passed out.

Glad to hear you re not wasting any precious vacation time. All naysayers lamenting collapse of Bangkok scene should be forced to memorize your report above and recite every morning right after 84 baht breakfast at world famous (it was 65 pre-covid by the way) Instead of forcing waiter to tip boys on stage do it yourself, preferably using patented technique otherwise called Vinapu tuck. If your Sam is boy I think he is , he is a gem not only because physical qualities. For me he has distinction of being only boy I ever took for a tour genuinely interested in sightseeing. Thank you for report again and again but remember - boys first , forum second

Sorry, an internet interruption stopped my progress…so I went out to lunch back where I left off Rafael (#10) told me his name is Sam. He is from Cambodia (what other ASEAN natives do I need for a conference?). He is ruggedly gorgeous with a generous smile. I never connected with #15 but tipped him and thanked him for sitting with me. Sam agreed quickly to my offer to check out my hotel. We stopped at the new 7-11 and he picked up some food and water. Nice time getting to know one another in the room while he was eating. He laughs and smiles a lot. He, as with my first off of the evening, knew the hotel and how everything worked. He asked what I wanted to do, and I told him my evening so far and said I’d like him to take care of me. Which he did very well - after we were both exhausted there was no rush to leave. So ends Sunday.

It is Monday morning and my scheduled activity has been postponed. Which gives me some time to describe Sunday. I woke early after an almost normal night’s sleep. Must have been the one hour massage with Sun and two more at Prime. I opened the Forum and responded to comments and questions and also to the private messages. It appears that Sun has provided favorable moments for a number of us! I also read TotallyOz’s summary of the clubs and decided he was setting a trail that I might follow. Awake, I had the breakfast at the hotel buffet. Many nice touches but the scrambled eggs are cold. This morning I dined it ting buy the windows that look out on the pool. Some very nice eye candy. But reality intervenes and I headed to the BTS and went to Mo Chit for the weekend market. It’’s only 9:30am and it is very HOT (in the heat sense). Picked up a few scarves and trinkets for folks back home. When the BTS stopped at Siam, I decided rather than an immediate transfer I’d walk around Siam Paragon. A few empty spaces, amazing display of automotive extravagance. Back on the way to the hotel, I stopped off at Coffee Grinder (see above) and had another smoothie. Several tables of folks, very gay. One gentleman and his extremely handsome and fit young companion, a table of friends of the managers and the usual cute staff. Some gay cutting up and cheerful banter. I was there for more than an hour and suspect I’ll be back. Rain started around 4 or 5 and I went out to change some $$. The hotel staff insisted I take an umbrella as it might rain again…it did. Since I was out and about without having had lunch I went to the James Beard Award winner restaurant known to many of us, and dined for a pittance. They have lowered the breakfast cost to 84 THB for early risers. After returning to the hotel and returning the umbrella, I set out to check out some clubs projecting to visit all the major ones by Wednesday (reminder this is Sunday May14th). But before I went out I was caught up with watching the election results come in and how they are reported. Not understanding the politics, let alone the language, I guessed at who might be from what party. Around 8pm, I decided it was time to get going. On my way to the Street of Boys, I passed a voting station where the ballots were being counted in the open for all to witness. Participatory democracy in action. On entering the street I was spotted by the Lao who has long been associated with Hot Male and known by sight to many of us. He introduced me to his co workers and I bought some drinks. One of the grabbers/hosts from Freshboys remembered me and joined us. The uniforms have been up scaled from black shirt and pants to colorful vests and ties. He told me that the show would start around 10 but that the boys were on stage. Since I really don’t care about the show, unless it is happening, I went up. The Mamasan called me by my name and ushered me to a center seat. House was about two thirds full. Large contingent of boys in white shorts and shirtless. Mamasan chatted about the changes covid made and that it was nice to see the old timers return (my term as I am old with a repeat history of visits). If you read above about my terminated negotiation with”Bird” you might remember that I am a sucker for the handsome. Well, or maybe WELL, one boy in the rotation met my visual high standard criteria. Mamasan always alert to a sale/pleasing a customer answered pertinent questions. Gay - yes. Does A & B - yes. I invited him to join me and he confirmed all the Mamasan told me. I asked his age as he looked VERY young. He said 23 and ID confirmed this. HIs name was head as Wile. Struck by his handsomeness I forgot even think about remembering his number. I asked for certain services, he smiled, and agreement reached. His short time was 2500 THB. A bit more than I am used to but I was momentarily in passionate love, We escaped to Quarter Silom, where he knew the layout of the hotel, how the various bits and pieces of the room worked. I played voyeur as he hadn’t lowered the shade covering the glass wall between the bathroom and the rest of the room. He is from Myanmar - and is incredibly well endowed. I mention this most of the Myanmar spa photos on the forum from Myanmar show the well endowed. Maybe they aren’t phot shopped. He certainly wasn’t. He proved that he did A+B+etc. It was a very good time that I’d be happy to repeat. In a moment of post activity bliss we were discussing stamps and he asked where I was from. I told him, he then said he has customers from the US, China, Japan, Singapore, Germany, Turkey, India, Cambodia, Vietnam, Dubai, and some others he couldn’t remember their countries. Yes, clearly he has reason to know my hotel and probably manny others. Class act. He departed (probably for another immediate off) and I opened my IPad to find a message from a distinguished Forum member who also was an admirer of Sun going back to when he was at Bangkok Massage. We chatted and I mentioned that I was hoping to hear from Sun about a 4 hand massage. Distinguished Forum Member (DFM) said he would Line Sun and vouch for me. Ten minutes later we were all tasking and options for a third party were narrowed and one selected, he confirmed and DFM detailed his experiences and approved the choice. All arranged. Thank you Forum for helping. It is barely 10pm so I head out to check out Jupiter. Never got that far, when I reached Banana the grabber grabbed me and gave me. Hug and kiss. We go way back from when he has the same same task for Hot Male on Twilight. Given the reception at Freshboys and here, I was pleased but realized I wan;t anonymous and the word (whatever that is) would be out among the boys. So I was ushered into the remodeled (from my last trip) Banana and turned over to a Papasan who remembered me from Hot Male on Twilight. Two of the boy from the rotation came over remembering me and I remembered them. Both Viets. I bought them drinks and chatted as much as possible (my Apple Watch was warning me that the decibel level is so high that I could go damage my hearing if exposed for too long. Banana did. Really nice rethink of its space. What was the upper level with its own show is now the prep area for the performers, The outdoor area was enclosed creating a large indoor space with room for stage with a staircase for the performers to enter from. Shower was in progress, handsome Canadian gymnast (who I would have offed but he was already claimed), lots of lip synching, some diva singing. House was packed with maybe 30 percent female audience. Sitting with my Viet friends there was lots of room for hand action. The Papasan in regular attendance recalling earlier visits he remembered me from. Lucy did not even acknowledge me but then she was busy as more women were arriving around the time the rotation started up again and dealing with a very intoxicated woman who passed out for all to see and the wait staff to move to the bar area. Boys in white shorts and shirtless for the rotation, several appealed to me. Banana has really upped its game. When I left the house was packed, boys were being offed, and more folks coming in. While enjoying the handsy hands on experience, decided to head out to Screwboys. I tipped the Viets, thanked the Papasan, and tipped the greeter/grabber promising to return. On to Screwboys. Once in it was funereal. Only two tables of customers and 8 boys many looking the worse for wear. If the devoted reader scrolls back to my mention of a couple at the coffee shop earlier in the day, it was touch on the fact that they were one of the other tables. The young companion recognized me, smiled, and offered a vodka shot. I declined and he wrapped a banknote around the shot glass and invited the performers to drink. This was more interesting than anything on stage. Another place where the Mamasan reminded me of former visits and promised to let Yoyo know I had stopped by. He isn’t working there, not sure if he is working anywhere. I bolted without finishing my drink. Went up stairs to Hot Male. No one here recognized me. NIce change. Given a center seawhile the rotation was. In progress prior to the start of mid-night show. The guys were in jeans and some were shirtless. Very masculine appearing group. One of the guys on my entering struck me as looking like Rafael Nadal. Tall and well formed. Another also appealed to me. I asked the waiter to give each a red note. He confused who was to get what to the amusement of the boys and the other waiters. When the rotation ended both came over and sat with me. Rafael (#1

sure but again reminder of advice- make sure first boy chooses second one subject to our approval. Don't force one boy on another, that's how I ruined in BKK my 60th birthday. Next one was much better - two Tawan boys conspired and suggested they provide private special show for my birthday, smart way to extract 2 tips on one night

Now we wait for the 250 army appointed Senators to determine if they will endorse the changes that the Thai people have clearly shown they desire. With Move Forward and Pheu Thai seemingly gaining their majorities from a largely youth vote (and young people persuading their family members to vote for them), will the ultra conservative nature of Thai politics finally change? Or will the Senators and the equally conservative Electoral Commission find a way to water down the election results or even nullify the vote? These look to be exciting times.
