From the latest Balcony newsletter re. soi 4 arrangements for Songkran 2018

Thanks to the resolution of reasons for canceling a trip to BKK I had planned for these days, and thanks to waiting to cancel room reservations until he last minute, here I am for Songkran. I arrived in BKK Saturday 9 early in the morning after a good flight from Texas with scale in Germany (Munich). It had been over a year since my last flight with United Airlines, and I thought at the time that their service could not get any worst. I was wrong. Their food now may not be touched by the inmates in a prison, so poor it is. By contrast, the food in my second flight with Thai Airways was delicious. From the airport, the city link train, the MRT and a brisk walk from Lumpini to Babilon Sauna got me checked-in in my room in the barracks at about 9AM. I immediately went for the communal breakfast, where I met some fellow gay travelers from previous visits and got updated on the BKK scene. Saturday: On this Saturday evening I visited the sauna DejaVu, for its weekly “fucking party”. Again a healthy walk to the MRT Lumpini station, exiting at Lat Parao and taking a bus along this main avenue until Soi 122 got me there. On these nude days no towels are given out and everyone including the staff is nude throughout the place. I think this is the optimum rapport for a gay sauna. After an interesting early playing around, by the time the “fucking party” started, a good crowd of Asians in their 20s, 30s with a few older than that including me, gathered around the fuckers. This fucking was not the exciting part, but my turn on was from the line of young Thais following this act as if this was something special, and the whole group got busy with gropings and blow jobs to the tune of the moaning by the fuckers. When my attention switched from this activity I was involved in, the group was dissipating and moving to the upper floor of maze and rooms. There I played repeatedly with exactly the bodies I liked and after successful consummation I left the place with the action still going on strong. I plan to return there next week for a similar night one day before my return trip. Sunday: After long communal breakfast, siesta, workout at the sauna, dinner at the sauna, I made a pleasant evening walk to Sauna Mania, who had their nude night. This was a repetition of the experience the day before at DejaVu, minus the “fucking show”. It was very good, although with the lack of available rooms I had to content myself with ending the evening with BJs. If it would be worth, my complaint of Sauna Mania would focus on the age discrimination policy they copied from R3, which is their sister company, that charges higher entrance fee to those over fifty. But to pay 300 baht instead of 200 is still a steal for all that fun for less than 10 US$! Monday, Tuesday: In anticipation of Songkran I kept a low activity these two days, spent mostly at the Babylon complex except for some shopping trips and a stroll in the evening to Silom soi 4 with some sauna peers for eye-candy watching. Sitting at a bar outside we engaged in a shameless evaluation of the male bodies strolling in front of us, which these bodies of course liked. I cannot do this kind of thing in my home town, haha. These two days I got plenty of action at Babylon itself, which I'm glad to say was at a level that makes the visit to other saunas redundant. I like the mix of old and young, the old to have interesting conversations at the side of the pool and in the restaurant, the young to have good sex at the cruising areas. Since they opened this small nude orgy section downstairs from the main cruising area they are now at par with the other hot saunas. One reads reviews of Babylon that are critical of its “boring lack of excitement”, and I really don't know what they are talking about. It is now Wednesday early morning, and I will see what this day will bring about. Judging from the preparations here, it will be great!

I was thinking of going to Maggie Choo on 17 April but unfortunately, they said it would be closed on that Sunday. I havent visited Maggie Choo during the Songkran before. Do they always close during the event? I am wondering where else I should go to kill the time beyond DJ station or GOD. Does anyone have suggestion where to go at night during the event?
