Great info. From what i read, 3 days closure starting today until Wednesday for trial run? My flight is on thursday at 5, wonder if i should head out earlier as well. Might have to just to be on the safe side

A lot of south east asia countries are moving in the right directions. Singapore and brunei is leading the way but they are small countries, and enforcement is easier. Indonesia, malaysia, thailand are improving a lot more than whst people gave them credit for, though admittedly poverty is still the on going issues and the gap between poor and the rich is growing bigger and bigger. Next we have vietnam and Philippines, while they are improving a lot in their big cities, circumstances are holding the rurals area to improve. Id group cambodia, laos, and myanmar at the bottom of the pack, cambodai and laos, for lack of natural resources as income, on top of their gov problem, and myanmar, which until very recently, have adopted very close communist country, even with natural resources like oil, didnt manage to improve their country as fast as the others.

Thanks for the info! Will be useful if i go there tonight. Want to actually go to another bar for taste of a different show, but also dont want to miss the good ones in jupiter or tawan lol decision time!

Lol i dont remember his number, cant be bothered with that as there are no other customer there except me and i just wave and point and the guy come to me, but he is one of the bulkier, a bit short, and older guy and he was there when i went to tawan last trip too. He says he is about 34 and from issan. He kisses ( a big plus for me). I actually asked this in the bar, and he said he kiss a bit. If i went earlier, he might not be my first choice though, but late at 12, with most boys are already off, i guess he'll do. He doesnt want to shower together though, so i respect that. On that note, i dont see mehkin when i arrived at jupiter, my guess is he is already being offed that day or simply didnt come. It is monday night anyway, and the bar is a bit more than half filled Also, i dont recall making any promises on trip report lol but like many who write here, i believe that this is a good way to give something back to the forum.

After booking my impromptu flight ticket early july, im set to fly end of july and spend about 10 days exploring LoS. The initial plan were way different though. It went from going to luang prabang only, then some days before and after luang prabang spent in bangkok, then swapping luang prabang with Siem Reap, and lastly decided to just stay in Bangkok as a base and do a few quick trips around bangkok, and that is hua hin and kanchanaburi. 24th-26th in bangkok alone, and my straight friend arrived in bangkok on the 26th, 27th-28th in hua hin, 29th shopping day as my friend will go back on 30th, while i go on a day trip to kanchanaburi. The second part of the trip is still wide open (i am open to any suggestions), and ill be going back home on 3rd august. Anyone in bangkok and want to hang out one of these days are welcomed to pm me. Day of departure - 24th July Finally the day has come, not that i have to wait that long since i booked the flight ticket only two weeks before today lol. My flight are at night around 8pm and estimated to arrive in bkk around 9.30pm. My very cheap ticket doesn't include checked in luggage so i have to pack a bit light, not so light though, as i have enough clothes to last me at least 5 days, so maybe just 1 trip of laundry will do. My flight turned out to be on time, quite rare for airasia night flight, and i arrived in LoS at 9.30pm. I purchased my seat during checked in since the allocated seat were at the back, cost me usd 2.5 and it was the best decision ive made. I get a seat at row 6, window seat with no one in the middle seat. Having seatwd up front, i also get to get off board early and planted myselft near the shuttle bus door that take you from the plane to the immigration building. With just a slightly fast pace walking, i managed to arrive at DMK immigration counter with only 2 person in front of me. Right after that, went straight to get a taxi to my hotel, dusit thani in silom. Arrived in hotel @ 10pm, got to be some sort of record as my friend took nearly 2 hour to get to dusit on Wednesday, 2 days later. So after a quick freshen up at the hotel room, i headed out of hotel to the gay area of silom. My first visit of the night was jupiter 2018. As the bar is fairly new, and the drink charges are quite reasonable for a gogobar in bkk, thought ill give it a go. I can reconfirmed that the drink there is still 250thb. I believed we have a thread talking about the bar, their shows, and the stages. My impression was there were definitely some boys that i really like, and most of them are fit, to ripped muscular guy, but not bulky like the one in tawan. Since i arrived there slightly before 11pm, i get to see some of their shows. Pretty tame compared to tawan and maybe most of the other bars, and some boys are in their shorts/jeans and some even with shirt on. Cant recall their numbers but 44 is definitely a real looker with really well defined muscles, but sadly he was grabbed by another customer, though i do t really see him downstairs, so maybe he was grabbed upstairs. As the shows goes on more and more boys were offed/called to sit with customers. Their last shows were the shower show, 4 boys in the shower glass cubicles with lasers light flashing. Funny thing is, only one guy, the average body one that actually enjoys the shower like normal people do, while the other 3 were just too busy to perform properly because they are trying very hard to avoid the water from wetting their precious hair lol. Oh thai boys and their hair. 2 of them did exposed their dick with condom on. There is another guy that catches my eyes, due to his body, muscles in the right place but a bit older as u can see some cute sagging near the stomach. Face wise, not the best look out there but certainly offable in my book, but i took too long to decide and he was off right in front of me. Since none of the guys left on stage are my type, i quitely finished my drink and leave the place. Its already close to midnight, but im not done yet. Still horny for boys, i went to the familar tawan club. The shows has already finished, only 3 boys on stage and the rest were loitering around the back sofa like seals sunbathing on the rock lol. One guy on the stage i was recognized from my previous visit, very ripped body still, though a bit older but most tawan guy are older in general. I pay for my drink and after maybe 1 minutes or so, some guys are showing some interest to ask me to let them sit near me, and i politely refuse, and some of the other guy just jokingly laugh at tge guy's failed attempt lol. Like vinapu mentioned before, tawan guy are quite good at taking rejection lol. Anyway, i called the guy that i like on the stage to sit next to me, some conversation were exchanged and i quickly agree with his plea to take him for st. Off fee paid and off he goes to change to his street shirt. I asked him to wait until the bar closes at 12.30 so i can still chat with him while finishing my 400bath drink. As we go back to the hotel, i stopped at 7e to buy some necessities and off to the room. Dont want to spend too much details but the session was definitely great and last close to 2 hours.

Not really, my hotel in hua hin is a bit cheaper than raya, so is the hotel in asoke. Last time, i stayed at dusit for 4 night, and went to tokyo to stay at the sauna which is hostel like lol.

I just booked nantra silom for last part of my trip here. First part of 3 nights, i stayed in dusit thani. Then hua hin 1 night, 2 night near asoke bts.

Great thread! Have benefited greatly by some of these advise read before in other threads. One thing to add, there is another great thread on how to treat/ignore mamasan. Maybe Vinapu can put the link up in the first post if it is still possible. Also, when you enter a bar, especially gogo bar, mamasan will escort you and show you a seat, but you can always insist to find the seat yourself, and have a bit of a tour of the place and pick seats where you are comfortable with. Unless its a full and packed bar, i always do this myself, and i like to seat a bit further from door and near the area where the boys goes in and out lol. Sometimes u can see them changing, always sexy. Also try to seat where u can have some space for the boy (boys) to seat next to you. My general advise is to go and try different bars if u can, i usually go one bar a night, or 2 if i dont find anyone on the first bar. Most bar closes around 12.30 with some exception that closes around 2am, so if u want to bar hop, best do it a bit earlier. And last thing, few normal beer bar/restaurant along the street provide seats facing the streets, perfect if u arrived there early and want to see boys coming in for work, or just see the massage boys outside. I find maxis is great for that, where u can sit and have good view of xboys, fresh boys where u can get a glimpse of boys on stage there, and massage boys sitting outside of bony and bangkok massage. U can also see boys from dreamboys, classic boys walking to go to their bars, also ladyboys and touter in actions. U can do this at hotmale bars too. One thing i observed that the touter wont even bother with indians tourist. Even if they walk alone. I am writting this from hua hin, great relaxing city and i like it, but a bit expensive to get around and some of the attractions like santorini park are abit far from hua hin city, so need more time and money to go there. The markets/night markets are great too.

Cambodia is homogeneous partly due to the genocide of khmer rouge period. Before that, there are about 15% of minorities living there.

Thanks again. Yeah, i might go one way by bus and another by train. Read online that taking train will have me changing train with a boat ride in between albeit short distance. Sound interesting but taking 2 different mode of transportation means i get to see more. Just 3 more days and ill be in bangkok lol.

Ill be in bangkok next monday, of course with 20k bath in hand and ill update if i were asked by them or not.

Its jusy some statistic gathered by their gov. God knows what the real spending really is. And its really hard to trace spending of cash, so my take is most of the recorded spending has to be where it was done by card, or at places where it is required to show ID, like duty free shoppings only.

Shop/attendance is listed there, hmmm. But no specific definition of the kind of shop, thus leaving it expose for extortion from the police.

I see a lot of grabbing in vietnam too, especially in ben thanh market. However they dobt bother grabbing me since i look like local lol My limited experience in Bangkok also have not experience any grabbing by tout.

Does it have to be in thai baht or any equivalent amount in other currencies is fine?

This has been highlighted before and seems to only enforced at land borders checkpoints

We can get off on masturbation with our own right hand, sex toys. No man or woman involve. Some real straight ones do use porn to help them perform as well.

Lol not just chatuchak, hua hin as well. Given that we will be doing food hunting, something i would rather have similar minded friend to do it with. Siem reap and luang prabang will have to wait lol. Kanchanaburi is definitely on the top of my list, just pondering whether a day trip is enough or not. A night spend there would mean a night loss of bangkok night though haha. But if i were going to be too tired night gymnastics, id probably be better off spending a night there.

Thanks for the advice christian and z909 and all. My straight friend decided to follow me after all so bit changed of plan lol. No trip to siem reap nor luang prabang. But instead we will go to hua hin and stay a night there. And spend another day in bangkok for catuchak market. However, i'll have the first 2 night and 1 day free for me before my friend comes, and 4 days 4 night after to do my solo exploration. Like i mentioned before, 1 day will be visiting maeklong train market. I am also trying to find any day trip worth doing from bangkok, so i dont have to switch hotel. A wuick search seems to point to kanchanaburi, ayutthaya, and khao yai. Already done ayutthaya before though. Otherwise ill keep exploring bangkok area instead, maybe do a massage rounds lol.

Jack definitely have good business sense to keep his regular happy. Its always better to have repeat custormer vs new customers. Which sucks for newbie like me lol

Turned out i will be travelling solo. So i have complete freedom to where i want to go now haha. Thanks for all the input guys. I am thinking should i just do thailand only now. Maybe chiang mai chiang rai, or issan area, by train. Kanchanaburi looks great too. Ill definitely want to do maeklong now, didnt manage to visit them before.

I did check, it is still reasonable. I do like the train travel though. Right now i am also looking to go to siem reap instead of Luang Prabang. Train ride is definitely shorter and the taxi ride from border to siem reap is less than 2 hour.

Ive had a few masseur/mb who told me they are quitting and end up still working. true enough they do go back home, but then they work their hometown instead. when they went vack, they did ask if we can send in money too to help with him buying land to farm. In monboy case, it does seems like he was trying to get money at first when he mentioned about the house. But all the subsequent chat/video calls says otherwise. And with monboy a cousin of victory, close friends to samebb, its pretty easy for numazu to know if he is back working.

Yeah that is what i think i migt do if i travel solo. Sleeper train to nongkhai, cab/bus short trip to vientiane. Stay there 1 night, then travel to luang prabang, maybe a night bus? spend 2 full day in luang prabang. If i go LP, ill go back to bangkok by flight. I dont think ill go by land both direction.

And right now expedia is having a sale on bangkok too, for hotels as well as hotels/flight. Dusit thani at usd73 per night, raya at usd50, with the suite around usd73 as well. Nantra silom is only usd 19.
