I'm hoping early 2022. Even if Thailand is open, it really depends on the travel restrictions in my own country whether I can leave for short-term tourism purposes or not.

Aww, that's a shame

I enjoyed the food at Super Isan, right at the entrance of the complex. Really tasty Thai food at decent prices and super long opening hours. Not sure if they still exist though as the last time I was there was at the end of 2019.

If it is of any use, there are many many videos on YouTube with people documenting the whole process so you can see first hand what their experience is like from the airport to their hotel, what the room and food looks like etc.

That roof on Jomtien complex is new right? or have I just been completely oblivious??

I would love it if there were go-go bars in Jomtien complex. It already has much going for it - it's walking distance from the bus station (the cheap bus from Suvarnabhumi), plenty of good food around, walking distance to Dongtan gay beach, a few massage places, and it's just kinda nice around there.. having go-go bars there would be the icing on the cake! I feel more comfortable in go-go bars anyway as opposed to host bars (and I'm sure there would be some who would be the opposite). Anyway, just dreaming!

ahh yes, good idea! thanks!

Hi there, I'm just after some recommendation of line accounts (massage places, gogo bars, etc) that I can follow that posts regularly on the 'timeline' section (I know that Prince and M Star massage do). Gives me something to look forward to when I am able to travel to Thailand again. Cheers!

Ooooh thank you!!!

Has the actor that plays Man (from 2gether)/Bone (from Love Theory) been in any other series? He is one of my favourites.. I love his smile!

Because Khai treats Third like shit and Third just takes it!! Anyway, I'm only halfway through the series so I'm sure it will have a fairy tale ending, as most of these dramas do!

I've been really getting into Thai BL series as of late as well. Finished 2gether, Dark Blue Kiss, currently watching My Engineer (whilst waiting patiently for new episodes to come out), and also currently watching Theory of Love (which makes me mad most of the time, but I persist). Finished Sotus a while ago too. Even though I'm not such a romantic person in real life, I really like watching these cute romantic series (and the guys are lovely). And I don't know whether it is just portrayed in these series, but does sexuality in Thailand seem a little more fluid than that in the west?

I'm supposed to be flying out from Australia in 5 weeks (transiting through Singapore) but I've already resigned myself to the fact that I probably won't be going anymore. There are just too many unknown variables - the situation is constantly changing so I don't know what the situation will be with flights from Australia, whether Thailand will be banning flights, or imposing mandatory quarantining, and the fact that it's possible I'll have to quarantine when I get back, and many other likely scenarios. It's just too hard. I was really hanging out to see my Thai guys, but I guess it will just have to wait until this whole thing has blown over. I hope that somehow I'll be able to get a credit or something for my flights and accomodation (booked as a package through Expedia), but if not, at least it wasn't a massive amount. but I am thankful that the situation here isn't as bad as some other countries at the moment. this is just the least of my worries compared to what is happening in Italy etc

Kongpob ❤️❤️ his smile instantly lights up the room

Cheers! Ah yes, I've stayed in my fair share of places where I had a nice picturesque view of a wall..

Yes I think I just need more practice crossing the road! I did like the spacious room of the Raya, the lack of pool didn't bother me too much as I rarely use hotel pools. Ahh good thinking! Thanks! No time like the present to go to the gym, even when it's 3am hehe Thank you, I try! Thanks for all of your comments! Ah, must remember to have a look next time Aww thank you! I visited Cambodia last year (only for a few days though) but I would like to go back some time in the future. Am looking forward to exploring the different countries in south east Asia. It sucks but hey, what can you do! Just need to take it in stride and not get too upset about it. Ah yep, makes sense! I remember ages ago when I used to work late I would do exactly the same thing. Aww thank you! Thank you!

Other things I did: Dongtan beach: went here 3 times and just relaxed for hours. It was really nice. Everyone here seemed to know each other, and know the beach vendors. I ate a couple of times from one of the vendors, first time was fine, but the second time made me feel a little ill. But I was okay. It’s amusing seeing everything they sell, from food, clothes, souvenirs, manicures, pedicures, belts, medications, poppers, porn, you name it, they have it. Massage: I didn’t manage to visit any massage places that were in the complex (although I did walk past them a few times), however I did get a massage on Dongtan beach. I employed the services of a passing vendor and asked for a foot massage, which he agreed to. What ended up happening is that he pretty much avoided my feet for the most part, ended up massaging my legs (whilst brushing my cock sneakily, to which I kept pushing his hand away). He told me to take my shirt and shorts off and lay face down while he did my back, sitting just below my butt but covering it with a towel. And omg, his hands just went wandering, trying to stick a finger up my butt, putting my hand on his cock, and putting his hand underneath to try jerk me off, and if I didn’t stop him, he probably would have fucked me right there, it was kinda hot and pretty sensual but we were literally in public! There wasn’t many people around, but oh my goodness. I guess I shouldn’t have expected any less, this is Pattaya after all. He asked where I was staying and I told him and he said he could come later, and I was like nope. He wasn’t really my type. I saw him twice after that, but I didn’t engage his services anymore lol. Final thoughts I love Bangkok with a passion and I can’t wait until I go back. This was by far my best trip that I’ve had in Thailand so far. Jomtien I wasn’t too sure about, I mean, I had fun and I’ll give it another shot, but it’s not a place that I would go to regularly. There is no shortage of guys there, but I felt a little like there is already a bit of a community with the farang there, and host bars I don’t really understand. I didn’t really check out the gogo bars in boyztown so maybe I’ll try that the next time I go back. I didn’t really get too much attention on the apps, then again, I didn’t really make first contact a lot of the time. Could it be that I’m a little racially ambiguous (I was quite often mistaken for being Thai), and perhaps the guys would just skip over my profile in favour of farang? I don’t know! Loved the Raya, but hated crossing Surawong Rd. Next time I will definitely stay in a hotel on the other side of the road. I’ve had my eye on the Crowne Plaza for a while, but I think it’s a little above my budget. Zing I wasn’t too impressed with, but it was clean (apart from the ant infestation in my bathroom) and on the cheaper side. If I come to Jomtien again, I’ll probably go for the Agate. Also note, if you want to get your laundry done at Zing, you have to take it to reception and pick it up yourself. I had a really nice welcome back from border control when I arrived back in my country. Basically when I tried to go through the e-gate, my passport didn’t work and I had to go to a desk (I thought my passport was broken but turns out not), then collect my luggage and then have border control officers search my luggage, ask me a bunch of questions (‘do you have any friends in Thailand?’ ‘um yeah’ ‘where did you meet them?’ ‘umm in.. bars..’ lol), and took my phone and went through that too. I mean, they were really nice about it and just doing their jobs, and they weren’t the ones who chose me. I was flagged probably before I even stepped off the plane. Single traveller, 3rdtime to Thailand in a 9 month period, any number of things could have flagged me, and I was really annoyed as this was the first time something like this has ever happened to me. But they were friendly and I was respectful, and they were doing their jobs, but after such a good holiday it was a little bit of a downer to be treated like a criminal when coming back home. I wasn’t overly worried though as I hadn’t done anything wrong, but it did make me nervous. Next year I’m planning on visiting Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, so I think I might tack on a couple of days in Bangkok at the beginning and end. I would love to see Lao guy 1 and dreamboy again. Thanks for reading!

Food: Room service: I only got room service on the first night (as I was lazy), prices were slightly higher than normal (to be expected from a hotel), but I ended up ordering way too much, and there ended up being 2 people to deliver my food. Oops. It was pretty good though (had chicken wings, som tum, and green curry with rice). The Thais love their spicy food, and I don’t mind a little bit of spice, but I felt as though when I eat Thai spicy food, the spice level is fine to start with, and then the heat just gradually builds up until your mouth is on fire. It was crazy. Super Isan: in the Jomtien complex, I ate here 3 times, the food was simple, decently priced, but so tasty. Really long opening hours – 9am – 2am. Sandbar: I decided to go here on the way back from the beach one as I saw some good reviews of it. Had a cheeseburger and fries and a mango sticky rice and it was decent. Slightly pricey though. Apps: I didn’t really get many messages from guys messaging me first on the apps (but however I found that when I messaged them first, they would mostly reply). I found a guy nearby on Hornet, his profile said he had an 8 inch dick so I was kinda intrigued. After some exchanging of messages (he quoted 1000), he came over to my hotel within probably 10 minutes I think, he was from Cambodia, and looked a little rougher than his photos (but I didn’t mind as that is kinda attractive to me), and said he worked in one of the bars, but I didn’t ask which. It was a pretty awkward encounter. I ended up sucking him for a while, while he watched straight porn on his phone, and roughly played with my hole. Even though his dick was pretty big whilst soft, he wasn’t really getting hard and I was getting bored, so I thought I would just cut my losses and finish the session. I said to him that we are finished and gave him the 1000 baht, after which he said he wanted to fuck me, to which I agreed to, so I went and gave him a condom, which he didn’t want to use, so I said no way, and then we ended the session. A bit of a waste of money on what turned out to be a dud experience, but hey, not every experience is going to be perfect, and I accept that. Later on he sent me a picture message of his (hard) cock but I didn’t really know how to respond so I didn’t. Bars: @Home bar: this was my first venture into the host bars in Jomtien complex. I knew I wanted to go to this particular bar, so I walked down the street and as soon as I got there, one of the guys that worked there grabbed me (they were all standing on the street) and asked if I wanted to come in, so since he was the first to make contact with me I obliged, Cambodian, but not really my type but I went along anyway. Bought him a drink and he was angling for an off really hard, so we ended up going back to my room and having some fun. Sweet guy though, and he even told me to lock up my valuables when I have guys over. Afterwards, he asked if I would off him again but I told him I am a butterfly and he understood. He did end up messaging me on line a few more times asking if I was going to the bar. 4T bar: so this actually started on grindr, I messaged this cute twinkish guy (Thai, 28), and moved our conversation to line. Turns out he works at 4T and I asked if he wanted to come to my hotel before he started work which he agreed to, as long as I could pay the off fee, which yeah was fine obviously. So he came over, and he was a really nice guy, and we were versatile with each other. Later on when we finished we both went to his bar and we had a drink and chatted for a while. When I got the check bin he said that I didn’t have to pay the off fee as he wasn’t gone from the bar for very long, so that was nice, saved myself 300 baht. I ended up offing him another 2 times, for a number of reasons – we connected somewhat, he knew what I liked, and it was convenient as I didn’t have to go to the bars (which I’m really not sure about yet). I paid him the Bangkok tip rate and he was really happy.

PATTAYA Halfway through my trip I checked out of my hotel, got on the MRT to Petchaburi, then the ARL from Makasaan to Suvarnabhumi, and caught the bus to Pattaya. Very decently priced at 130 baht. I didn’t have to wait for long for the next bus which was great. Disembarked at Jomtien and walked the short distance to my hotel (Zing). I try not to be too fussy when staying in hotels, but I just wasn’t really into this one. Like, it was quite big (I don’t know if I perhaps got upgraded to a bigger room), but there was a lot of wasted space , and the bathroom was really small. And had an ant infestation. And the shower was annoying (water would go all over the bathroom floor, and it was either hot or cold most of the time – no inbetween). The good thing was that I had 2 balconies (as it was a corner room), one facing towards the smaller Thappraya Rd (where I could see Family Mart through the buildings), and the other balcony faced towards more balconies from what I assume were apartments on top of the businesses on the main Thappraya road. On one of the balconies there were these 2 good looking guys who would pop up each morning and evening, so when I was hanging out on the balcony we would wave to each other. I called them the ‘balcony boys’. One of them accidentally dropped his bottle of water over the balcony and we both had a laugh.

Food Since I love food, below are a few places I ate at. Thank you for the recommendations from forum members from a post I posted previously, I didn’t manage to get to all of the recommendations, but I did get to some. Mango tree: this place was quite expensive (but I was in the area), and I didn’t find much difference between the food here and what you would find in cheaper restaurants and street food, but the ambience and service made up for it. The maître d was absolutely stunning. There seemed to be a lot of flies at my table though for some reason. Andaman: directly across the road from The Raya, so it’s convenient for those staying there. A mix of Thai and western cuisine, food was okay and decently priced. Northeast: a little bit of a walk, but the food was delicious. Quite a few tourists were here when I visited, and it was quite busy. Highly recommended. Grab food: when I was too lazy to go out, I used grab food (it’s just on the grab app, press ‘food’ on the main screen). Prices were reasonable, and the delivery charge was very reasonable (10-15 baht). The food was mostly delivered in plastic bags, so it was amusing when I was trying to eat/drink soup from a bag. Maybe next time I’ll pack a small bowl in my suitcase. The menus to some of the restaurants were sometimes only in Thai writing, so I had to rely on pictures (and the english listing when available), but there was one time that I randomly ordered a dish in thai writing that I had no idea what it was. That was fun. I was hoping it would be a drink, but it turned out to be a soup, with some sort of meat balls in it. Hokkaido Ramen: this restaurant was across the road from Golden Cock, and reasonably priced (and yum). Tonkotsu Kazan: in the same soi as screw/fresh/dream etc. Really good ramen, and the softest chashu I’ve ever tasted. It was so good that I ordered what I thought was 1 more piece, but ended up being 4 pieces. They were also quite happy to accept credit cards. 7/11: fell in love with the banana cupcakes there (super moist and delicious), and probably had one every day. They are only 10 baht each! Or you can get a 2-pack for 18 baht! Other things I did Mitrtown: this new shopping mall is connected to the Sam Yan MRT and is quite spacious. Just your standard mall really (including muji which has heaps of cool stuff), but there were a lot of food options. I ate at a noodle place, and ordered a dish which I thought was noodles with dumplings, but turns out it was just dumplings without any noodles, but thee best damn dumplings that I’ve ever tasted. Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre: quite easy to get to from national stadium BTS, they have an LGBT exhibition at the moment which is really good (and free!). Some pieces were quite beautiful, other’s quite thought provoking and hard to watch. I spend a good few hours here perusing. A few other exhibitions were on at the same time, but the LGBT exhibition spoke to me the most. It finishes sometime in march I think. Siam Paragon: had a meal at a seafood place, and had a bit of a wander. Wanted to buy a bag but everything was super expensive so I didn’t bother. So many places to eat though. Lots of tourists around. Patpong night market: decided to waste some time before going into the bars one night as it was still early, but I didn’t buy anything. The stalls were pretty much selling all of the same thing. I did walk through one afternoon whilst they were setting up and thought to myself that it must be such a big job having to set it all up and take it down every single day.

Massages Prime: I really like this place, and was sad when the therapist I had last time wasn’t in town – he was really good. Anyway, I had 3 massages here. The first was a 1 hour Thai/1 hour oil. This guy massaged me like he hated me, he was really rough! I remember he found a knot in my shoulder and wouldn’t let it go and was going over and over and over it with his elbow, quite hard, like he was digging for gold or something. Oil massage was okay. I was sore for the next 2 days. My next massage here was a couple of days later, different guy but same routine (1 hour Thai/1 hour oil), and he was a little more gentle than the first. My 3rdmassage was again a couple of days later and this time I opted for a 1 hour foot/1 hour Thai as I wasn’t really getting into the oil massage here (and the foot massages are quite good). The guy I had during my visit in October was the best that I’ve had there and when I return, I’ll definitely ask for him (hopefully he will still be working there!). I totally recommend this place, really affordable and professional massages, and I highly recommend the 1 hour foot/1 hour Thai for 500 baht. Magic Touch: This place is down the soi that runs next to Le Meridien. When I found it, I took my thongs (flip-flops) off, and was about to go in, but the lady sitting outside asked me ‘you want man?’ and well obviously yes, so she pointed to the small pathway on the side of the building, to another building (all surrounded by a construction site at the moment). There I found a bunch of good looking guys sitting outside, so I went inside, chose my massage (1 hour oil), paid the fee (the guy at the reception desk’s english was really good and he was very good looking), and was assigned my masseur who was smaller and a little older, but still good looking (and with a nice 6-pack as I later found out). The shower was interesting, it was kinda in a public area (with a curtain of course), but the wind from the holes in the wall kept on blowing the curtain open. Massage was in a private room and was pretty decent, a handjob to finish and I gave him a blowjob for a while but he didn’t cum. Recommended. Arena: I’ve only been here once before (2016) but I had a good experience, so I decided to go again. A short walk from Chong Nonsi BTS, made my way up to the 3rdfloor and went inside and sat down. The guy gave me a menu (and was trying to sell me a 4 handed massage, but I declined) and I chose a 1 hour oil massage and picked a semi-muscular guy (from Chiang Mai) that was waving at me. Massage was prefuntory as expected, and afters were okay, kinda went from massage straight into fucking without much foreplay. We had a shower together afterwards where he washed all of the oil off me. Prince: I’ve always been curious about this place so I thought I would try it. Caught the MRT to Lumphini and walked to Prince, a little bit of a trek though. It was a little embarrassing when I got there though as I was walking to what I thought was the entrance looked like a fish pond, so I walked back and saw another door that looked like a service entrance or an entrance to a different house and thought ‘this can’t be right’, so I walked back over to where I was and the ‘fish pond’ turned out to be the entrance. The tiles were just surrounded by water, so step carefully. The reception I got when I entered was a little weird – instead of welcoming me, the guy looked a little confused as to why I was there. So I just sat down and waited for him to bring me the menu. Chose 1 hour oil and chose a muscular guy (28 or 38 I forgot) who was attractive. He led me to the room (which was quite nice actually), showered, and then he came back and showered. Massage was okay, he was using firm strokes, but covered me in what seemed like a gallon of oil. Afters were good, he fucked me hard and in numerous positions, and then washed the oil off me afterwards. I was getting a bit over the massages at this point) even though I love them, but sometimes it just felt a little hurried, which I totally understand as they want to get another customer. But come on, give me a little foreplay! The Sun Massage: I had been walking for most of the day so I felt like having a foot massage. I walked down Surawong Rd and was going to get a foot massage from the first cute guy that accosted me, but no one really did, so I walked down the soi that tawan was on and a cute guy intercepted me outside of the sun massage so I agreed, and then another more beefier guy did my foot massage. It was fine, pretty standard (better at Prime though), and I was the only customer there at the time which was nice and relaxing.

Gogo bars The first time I stepped foot into a gogo bar was during my first visit in 2016 (dreamboys and I think x boys back in Soi Twilight, with a tour guide), but I didn’t off anyone. This trip I found the courage to go by myself, and it wasn’t actually as scary as I thought. It was pretty straight forward, and I am indebted to this forum for the information on how they worked. I didn’t manage to actually get to any gogo bars until my 3rdnight in Bangkok, but I managed to check out 5, one bar per night. Freshboys: I actually had wanted to go to screwboys for my first foray into the gogo bars, but I couldn’t immediately see it when I entered Patpong 2. One of the grabbers from fresh boys said there was a fuck show, and I thought that sounded good, so I went upstairs and I was led inside to a seat. The venue was intimate, and the show had already started when I arrived. Dark skinned mamasan with big hair looked after me, and a Vietnamese waiter sat with me for a while, was a little touchy-feely, and asked me to buy him a drink, which I declined. The show was good, pretty much what I expected, I did notice the big cock/pole/knee routine which has been mentioned here, and the fuck show was probably the best out of all of the bars that I visited this trip. The mamasans and waiters did a good job of standing in the way whilst I was trying to watch the show. There were 2 guys on my short list to off – one of the guys from the big cock show, and a more twinkier guy. I’m pretty flexible with guys, so I don’t necessarily need to look for a top or a bottom as I can just go with the flow with whatever the guy is comfortable with (but they need to be able to kiss!). Anyway, mamasan said that the big cock guy was top only, which is fine, but what that translates to me is that he probably won’t do much, plus he looked a little bit cocky, but hey, he could have been really nice. He was super hot though, and did wander through the audience and I had a bit of a grope. Anyway, I decided on the twinkier guy (turns out he is from Laos), mamasan said he did everything. He came over and his English was a little limited, but we used google translate to help. Maybe I heard wrong, but I think he said he was 32, but later I stumbled across his grindr and hornet profiles which said 20 and 24, so who knows. I didn’t mind though as I prefer guys a little older and closer to my age (mid 30’s). So after settling the bill, I put 100 baht in the other guy’s underwear (as he would have been my other choice), and we walked back to the hotel, holding hands (actually, all but 1 of the guys held hands with me on the way back), which was nice. He was pretty fun in bed and we were both pretty versatile. This guy was nice, and I liked his company. We cuddled afterwards (actually I did with all of the guys, most just fell asleep). He wanted to stay the night (he was so tired, poor thing), but I had to decline because I’m not so much into longtime. I find it really hard to sleep when someone else is sharing a bed with me. Perhaps one day. Sent him on his way with an extra 100 baht to give to mamasan as I realised I didn’t tip her, so who knows if she actually got it or not lol. Screwboys: so on my second night out, I finally found this bar, the reason why I didn’t see it previously is that it was set back from the road a little. It was a cosy bar, seating was a little strange (at one stage I took my shoes off and sat cross legged), and mamasan (male) talked to me periodically and sometimes put his head on my shoulder. A lot of guys to choose from, the show was pretty standard, and after the show I chose another twinkier looking guy as he looked friendly and kind. Mamasan called him over, and he sat with me for a while (shivering as he was wearing only underwear and we must have been under the aircon) before we left together. 20 years old from Laos (2 Lao guys in a row, who would have thought), and he spoke zero english, but we managed. If I understood correctly, he had only been working in the bar for 6 days. Walked back to the hotel hand in hand, I registered him at reception (the only guy that I registered throughout my trip), and had some fun in the room. I didn’t really want to go further than kissing/oral/handjobs as I just kinda wanted to give him an easy time if he had only been working there for a few days. Nice guy though and super cute. It was amusing in the shower afterwards though as he was washing his hair and was having trouble with the shampoo as it wasn’t really lathering, but turns out that his hair was gelled so much that he needed copious amounts of shampoo to wash it all out. I accompanied him down to the street to bid him farewell (actually I accompanied all of the guys out to the street during my time here. It felt like the right thing to do). Lucky boys: this bar was huge. I chose to sit up the back (my preferred seating), and I got there a little early so I had to wait a while for the show to start. The mamasan (with the emirates hat) sat with me periodically, and we made a bit of small talk, but after the show I commented on her good english skills and she opened up and just talked and talked about how she learnt english, where she worked before, how long she has been at lucky boys etc). The show was, again, pretty standard, although a little higher quality than fresh and screw, but the fuck show was still the best at fresh. There were 2 guys that I had my eye on, a pretty guy with facial hair, and a more masculine guy, who was a little bigger, and hairier. Even though I did like the look of the facial hair guy and he was super hot, and I decided to go with the hairier guy. Mamasan called him over, 26 or 28 years old, from Cambodia, and english skills were decent which was a nice change. I got the mamasan to call over pretty facial hair guy and I gave him 100 baht. Back to the room and we showered separately, and he put the bathroom blinds down whilst showering (I noticed with the guys that came back with me to this hotel, only the Cambodian guys did this), and had some fun. I bottomed for him and he fucked pretty hard. Sweet guy, had a fun night with him and I think I connected with him a little more than Lao guy 2, but not more than Lao guy 1. Dreamboys: before I went to dreamboys I was umming and aah-ing about my situation – I had limited time left, I wanted to go to a new bar each night (but didn’t really want to do 2 bars in a night), but really wanted to off the big dick guy from freshboys, and also the pretty guy in lucky boys. I didn’t have any of the mamasan’s contact details so I couldn’t really organise anything. And I knew that most of these guys probably don’t really stay in the game for too long, so it is possible by the time I visited again, they wouldn’t be there anymore. Anyway, I ended up making my decision and going to dreamboys as I wanted to visit a new bar, which was my plan all along. Much to my surprise, all of my indecisiveness was forgotten when I met the guy who I would off here, who coincidentally became my favourite of the whole trip. Dreamboys was smaller than I had anticipated (when I compare it to the old dreamboys which I had been to a few years prior), I had a nice seat up the back, and watched the guys in rotation. I had my eye on 2 guys – one of which was a little more on the twinkier side, but with a softer body (like mine aha), and the other was a little bigger (taller) than I would have usually gone for, and muscly (but not overly). But I really really liked his face. The show was pretty standard fare, my ‘guy’ ended up being in the big cock show, and there was also a section where 2 attractive guys from the audience were called on stage and were made to take most of their clothes off and were “massaged” by the ladyboys. It was actually pretty crass and I was glad I was sitting up the back. Anyway, after the show I decided to go for something different than what I’m used to, so I got the mamasan to call the (big cock) guy down (she said he was gay and flexible), and I was a little apprehensive as I thought he may be a little cocky or arrogant, but when he got to me, he was actually super nice. Thai guy, said he was 30 (his line profile said 33 though, which doesn’t worry me as I prefer a little older), and spoke quite reasonable English. After talking for a little bit, we left together (hand in hand), stopped by 7/11 on the way where I bought him a couple of snacks, and shortly after we were back in my room. Really loving how close The Raya is to the action. He was really quite playful and fun, yet really passionate, and an amazing kisser, and I think we really connected. Whether it was genuine or fabricated, I didn’t really mind because at least he went to the effort. Didn’t go further than kissing, oral, and handjobs, but I was pretty satisfied. I made sure to get his line id before he left. He messaged me a little later saying he was at the gym (like at 3am lol). I thought it was funny how at the beginning of the night I was unsure of what to do, and then he just made me forget about it all. Funny how things work sometimes. Moonlight: Even though the general type of guys at Moonlight weren’t really my type, I was curious about this bar, and it was super close to my hotel. Turns out that there is someone there for everyone. It was quite busy when I arrived, and was seated near the front, but not right up the front, next to some Thai girls. The shows were probably the most professional out of them all, and the models were quite attractive, a little too muscular for my liking, but my favourite was Babe (I think) as I really liked his face. After the first show (which went on for more than an hour), most of the audience left and I moved to some seating towards the back to watch the second show, which was much shorter in comparison. I had my eye on quite a few guys, but I wanted to wait until the end before I chose, however most of the guys that I had my eye on were gone (lesson learnt – choose earlier). It was a nice touch at the end when the singers were singing, and the guys that were left were just scattered around the stage, some playing and joking around. I ended up choosing a smaller but muscular guy as from his mannerisms on stage he looked quite fun, and he was also in the big cock show. 34 years old (I think) from Cambodia, went back to my hotel (not hand in hand for once), and he showered with the blinds down. I’m pretty realistic, and I don’t expect to connect with every guy, but he ended up being a little bit of a dud. I sucked him for a while and was getting a little bored and was about to give up and send him home, but then he asked to fuck me and then got a little more animated after that. Kissing was a little difficult as his breath was not, well, fresh. So it wasn’t all bad, but the guys from the other bars were better. But obviously this isn’t an indication of the quality of the guys from the bar itself, as many factors would have been at play – he could have been tired, having an off night, not so much into me, but hey, you live and you learn.

I recently came back from a 2-week trip to Thailand (my 3rdtime to Thailand this year), where I visited Bangkok and Pattaya. Some of this report is chronological and some is just the experiences in places that I visited, a little disjointed but I think it gets the point across. It’ll kinda be posted in dribs and drabs as I’m just copying and pasting from a word document which I created. BANGKOK Lucky for me I had a direct flight with Thai Airways from my home city, first time taking this airline and I couldn’t really fault them. Arrived mid-afternoon, went through immigration, collected my suitcase, exchanged some cash in the basement before catching the ARL to Makasaan, and then the MRT from Petchaburi to Sam Yan. Since I was staying at The Raya, I could have gotten off at Silom (or even caught the BTS) but I didn’t fancy crossing Surawong Rd with my suitcase (and crossing Surawong Rd during my whole trip annoyed me to no end). Sam Yan I think is a little further but the walk was easier. The hotel was quite nice, and I got a pretty good deal by booking my flights and accommodation together on expedia. Reception was on the 5thfloor, and my room was on the 7thfloor. Large room, decent sized bathroom (which I like), and I especially liked the glass wall separating the bathroom to the bedroom. I’ve stayed at hotels with a window separating the bathroom to the bedroom, but never an actual full glass wall. The view from my window was facing west so I could see some of Surrawong Rd, and directly beneath my window were the remains of Soi Twilight. There was a balcony, but I was unsure whether or not it was meant to be used as there was no door, but I climbed out of the window and went on the balcony anyway. I quite often looked out at the view for ages, just contemplating life and such. It was quite relaxing. Lots of Japanese guests at this hotel and they were LOUD. Well, on my floor they were. I ended up getting a smoking room (but I wasn’t smoking on this occasion) and the smell blocked up my nose for a while but the smoke smell went away in a day or so. Unfortunately for me I had to bring some work with me that I didn’t manage to finish before I left, so that preoccupied me for the rest of the night (and the next day or so), but I went for a walk, got some water and snacks at 7/11, made an appointment for the next day at Prime (I tried to book the guy I had last time, but he had gone home for 2 weeks, damn), went looking for some dinner but was overwhelmed by all of the choices that I found myself at Bon Chon in the Silom Complex where I’ve been before. Quite nice fried chicken, albeit a little on the pricier side.

I'll be arriving on the 7th

oh yes, must not forget I actually tried this place in September - it was really good!
