A preface to begin… My last report covered a short 5 day visit to both Pattaya and Bangkok at the beginning of September. I returned to Bangkok in early October and it was the base camp as I went north to Chiang Mai for several days, back to Bangkok for a night, then to Laos (Vientiane and Luang Prabang) for a week, before heading back to Bangkok for two night and then home to California. Before getting too far along in the trip(s) report, I read over my September jottings and found this at the end of it: So much going on, a gaggle of Vietnam guys sharing go-go way stories and memories with J, S being the pater familias, N asking how I liked Jupiter’s show, true guys’ night out. Then N and friend left for show time, P gave me a big hug and kiss and said he had to go back to Fresh Boys for his show (S told me P gets paid more when he dances and appears in the show), I give P 1,000 baht as a going away thanks (sort of an “off without benefits” tip). T and I had discussed earlier before we got to HM bar that we wanted to make sure J and S had time together. So around 11 we headed out to the hotel. I had to be up by 4am to catch my plane so I packed, T made sure I was showered (I have never had so many showers in a 4-day span as I did this week). He cleaned up in the bathroom and “re-joined” me in bed. OMG what a confusing jumble. Too much code! J, S, N, P, HM, and T. Thanks, Numazu, for identifying yourself as “N” and making me realize this is a trip report not a quadratic equation (which I could no longer solve, if I even remembered how). I put off writing when I returned and procrastinated; first because I was jet lagged (still am slightly); second, waiting on Numazu’s reports; and, finally, asking myself if I really had anything to say and could do it without code. I've made some forum postings, one on Prince was fairly detailed, another on the Tarntawan was also involved and then had lots of follow up reply and comment postings. Then Ya, of Siam Roads, who was my guide in Chiang Mai and Laos asked for feedback that if favorable he could use on the tour company website. (He must have liked them as I’ve found my words posted on two other sites). So, the plan is to write a report on the arrival nights in Bangkok and the time in Chiang Mai. Then extend the reporting to touch on the one night back in Bangkok which went as wrong as possible, comment on Laos (few boys/no boys), and the pit stop in Bangkok on my way home. Installment #1 later today.
