Bangkok. 2/10 - 4/5

[paulsf]

I've been coming to Bangkok for about 7 years now. Mostly 1 or 2 weeks. Now retired I did 5 trips last year, several for a month. Now I'm trying a 2 month trip.

I flew over last week. Got a Miami-Lax-Hkg-Bkk first class award ticket.

 

You will find thru my postings, I'm a fixture at Hot Male on Soi Twilight. I know a lot of people that work there and it's comfortable for me. Because my trips are longer, I'm not chasing sex 24/7. Do like massages though. Will hit up a few places. Hero,Adonis,Bonney,Prince

 

Got off to a good start this past week. I was here this past Dec and have noticed a few changes to the shows. At Hot Male, all boys are back in underwear. Over the weekend they had lots of nudity, fuck show, and j/o show. But unfortunately, they also raised drink prices upstairs to 380. Don't know if other bars did. I'll find out this week. During the week I caught up with a few old friends that kept me out till 3am. So didn't get to off any boys yet. But have compiled a small list.

Friday night I met up with Divinemadman and a friend. We hung around Hot Male for a couple of shows talking and enjoying some good looking boys.

 

I was headed to Hero today. I have a friend that works there that shows me a great time. Just as I was leaving he called and said he decided not to work and would go out with friends for Valentines Day.

Oh well. I went out to Scozzi's and had a pizza. No playtime tonight. I've got to makeup a lot of playtime this week.

 

Being here for a couple of months, I plan on getting to Pattaya for a few days. Haven't been in a couple of years. Also planning a trip to Hanoi with friends. I'm bad at posting, but will try to keep it up some.

Anyone wants to meet up on Soi Twilight, let me know. I don't go every night, but can always get there in 5 minutes.

[Guest anonone]

Nice to see a new report.  No pressure at all, but if you do happen to post some thoughts during your long visit, it will be great to read.  (I am envious of the long visit).

 

Have a great time!

I read it three times because I wasn't sure I see it right. Did you really replaced absent  boy with pizza? Even at Scozzi ?

 

I'm sure in big place like Hero you would find suitable substitute replacement but since your trip is long  obviously there's neither need  nor  rush to  get into intimacies.

 

I will be curious  how at end of your trip you compare long stay to short one.

 

I,  surprisingly perhaps even to myself,  think  I like more frequent shorter trips to once a year  but long one.

 

Good to know moral campaign leveled off it seems with return of f**k  and j/o shows , the same was reported for Tawan in another thread.

 

Have a great time and please let us know how you are doing when you find a minute.

 

Try thin crusted pizza at Madrid Tavern  in Patpong 1, they have several  different ones, all very good and this comes from somebody who doesn't like pizza at all.

[Jasper]

I like your report.

Are you the guy sitting the corner near entrance door in Hot Male?

[paulsf]

Vinapu, if I was here for a short trip I definitely would have gone to Hero . This is one of the big advantages to long stays, you don't have to rush everything into 1 day. Also we are suffering thru 35 degree weather. Scozzi is only a block away from where I stay and Hero is across town. Just thought dinner would be easier. Will hit up Madrid next week.

 

Jasper, I am usually at outside bar. 4 or 5 seats in from the street. Ask any of the boys if Paul is there, they all know me.

When here for 2 month trip, I'm not there everynight. But still more than I should be.

 

Today is the end of my first week. Spent mostly meeting up with friends and a couple of shows. Now new week will start spending day by pool catching up on some reading and waiting for Hero to open up. Then play the the sport of, Trying to get taxi to go cross town to Soi 11 during rush hour. I know most will say take BTS . Just want to mention I used to, but now I have some mobility issues and it's just easier to take taxi to front door. Last trip I started using Uber leaving and it has worked great.

Confirmed, in Dec I did exactly that as instructed, not only boys told me when Paul is coming but also informed him that some farang was asking for him already

[DivineMadman]

confirm had a great time at Hot Mae meeting Paulsf and fellow message-boarder ct2005!!

Hi paulsf, I'll be doing my 3rd trip this August and I'm increasing my stay to the entire month. So I'll want to take advantage of that and get a better room rate. Like you, I want to be on or around Surawong Road. I'm looking at  the Tarntawan Apartments (next door to the Tarntawan Place Hotel, where I stayed last year). A studio with kitchen is around $950 USD plus a utilities charge. Your advice/suggestions would be appreciated. Along with the other board members, of course! Thanks. (Just got a $680 USD R/T from LAX on China Airlines/TPE with great take off times and L/O times, so ready to find the room/apt.)

, I'll be doing my 3rd trip this August and I'm increasing my stay to the entire month. 

so it means we will be presented with steady reports I hope 

[paulsf]

I made it to Hero yesterday. Didn't go the way I planned, so just an ok time. I called my friend to see if he was working, said he was.

Got there an hour later and was told another of his regular customers just took him for 2 hours and he wanted me to wait for him. That wasn't going to happen. Though sitting there staring at all those hot guys behind the glass for a couple of hours wouldn't be the end of the world. Going across the city to get there, I wasn't going home without a massage. Started looking around. Really hard to chose, so many hot guys. About 40 working. Narrowed it down to a really cute, early 20's guy.

 

Fortunately his massage was very good. The playtime, not so good. He seemed to want me to do more of the work than himself. I spoke up and said I'm used to a little more attention. He knows who I normally see and said he can't do as much as him. I said I understand that, but a little more action would be fun. He came around a bit, but mood and time were running out. I feel kind of bad as he was a great kid, really cute and spoke English. That made it easier to talk about my dissapointed.

Interestingly, as we were leaving room. He said he was willing to come to my apt with a friend and put on a fuck show. He loves to bottom. I'll take it slow and ask my friend about him, but sounds like it could be fun.

 

700 for room. 1000 minimum tip. I gave more than minimum, but not what I usually give. He was happy.

I ordered a grabtaxi when leaving. Took 5 minutes to arrive. 90 baht to my apt on Surawong.

 

I got a message from Divinemadman that he was going to be in Soi Twilight later in the evening, So we met up at Hot Male for a couple of drinks. He was then headed off to see the show at Classic. I went home to bed.

 

I had some personal things to take care of today, but I see another trip to Hero tomorrow. If not Adonis. Or maybe both....

[DivineMadman]

Had a great time meeting with Paulsf at Hot Male, and then as he said I went on to Classic Boys to see the show and a friend who works there.  Classic Boys had a decent line up of about 15 guys.  All in the same white underwear.  Probably a third petite twinky types, a third early-mid 20s with trim/fit bodies (not particularly musclebound) and a third "other" - one very rough looking guy who did the underwater performance, and a couple of older types.  The show starts at 10:30 and another around 12:00.  Business was slow but it was a Monday night.  Some "manly men" performances with two guys with erections encased in rubber "dancing" and then walking around the audience for a grope and a tip.  Some well-intentioned cabaret dance lip-synching show.  Same same.  Relentless mamasans - easy to ignore.  I think drinks were 350 I was told all drinks same price.  Buy gets 50 for a drink you buy him.

 

After the show at Classic Boys I caught the tail end of the show at Screw Boys (more lip-syncing katoeys).  The boys came out - about 15 or so.  Very good selection of all types.  The whole spectrum represented.  Unfortunately I offed a real dud.

You might consider AirBnB.  I used them last year for a 3 month visit and this year for a 4 month stay.

[firecat69]

You can also look at VRBO which usually has much better deposit requirements.

[paulsf]

I forget to mention that I also use Airbnb. I used this apt for 5 months last year and will probably do 6 months this year.

The Tarntawan Apts have the best location. But be careful of the fine print for extra charges.

 

For Vinapu. I know you like bouncing around hotels. There is a new one on Surawong. Red Planet Hotel.

Rooms a little small but very new and modern. Scozzi's and a 7-11 moved into the ground floor. It's about a block or two from Arena Massage. Rates in the 30 - 50 US. Range.

 

Tonight is my night off. Laying on the couch watching tv and thinking if I can get 2 massages and a late nite off in tomorrow.

[firecat69]

Don't forget to use that camera when you get a chance!!

Agoda is already attacking me  with ads about that hotel  but some feedback complaining  about rooms being so small that there's no place for a suitcase  were a bit off putting. But location seems excellent

[paulsf]

I was eating at Maxis last night and noticed that both Fresh Boys and XBoys have upped their drink prices to 400.

Hot Male now 380. I didn't notice if any changes at Bangkok Boys. How could they go higher than 500?

High drink prices not a good trend.

[firecat69]

I will bet that all except Bangkok Boys on off nights will agree to lower price if you ask .  I would tell XBoys  250 or walk away . They will likely offer 300. 

[vinapu]

High drink prices not a good trend.

for customers yes, but for owners?

 

So far I 'm digesting those rising prices because my trip are short  but probably at 500 I'd stop patronizing bar at all

[paulsf]

I made it back to Hero again last night. Quite an adventure getting there. Friday night of a 3 day holiday weekend. Traffic was not fun.

I knew something was up trying to get a taxi. It never takes me more than a couple of minutes to get a taxi at my apt. Last night took 25 minutes. Even tuktuks were driving by full. One taxi stopped and wanted 500. That wasn't going to happen. Finally second try taxi wanted 150. Took it. It took 1-1/2 hours to drive from Surawong to Hero. Had a great driver . He never complained and appoligize it was taking so long.

 

Finally made it. My friend was waiting at the door when I arrived. Straight off to room. I had told him on phone I would be in Bangkok for 2 months. When we got to room he asked if I would be seeing him a lot as I was on a long trip. I said probably would see him several times. We hit the shower and the fun began. I didn't need to use the massage table by the time we finished the shower.

I have seen this boy several times and he pretty much does it all. By the time we finished massage, playtime and 2 showers, I thought they might have to carry me out. I think he was saying to me....I want you to come to Hero many times on you trip and I will make sure you have a great time, and you will leave me with a lot of money

 

I sat in the waiting room to call a GrabTaxi to head home. Mamasan was sitting with me when driver called. He took phone to talk to driver. Said he will be here in 5 minutes, just sit and wait. Got to look behind the glass and only about 25 boys. Was told several boys went home for long weekend and not many customers as many leave the city, or can't get there because of traffic.

Taxi showed up and boy came in and got me. Off I went. But nice touch.

 

Got home and took shower. Friday night, get ready to head out. Unfortunately the senior citizen part of my brain was saying, I think you want to stay in tonight. I had been out all day and then the massage ordeal. I decided to stay in. Cooked up a little bit to eat, watched tv for awhile and was in bed at 10:00. Had best night sleep since I got here. Did the right thing as I was drained.

 

But now it's Saturday night and off to dinner with a friend and then plant myself on my favorite bar stool and see what the night brings.

[paulsf]

Hit up Soi Twilight for a few hours last night. Hot Male had a big birthday party going on and it was getting really loud and drinks were flowing, so I wandered around a bit.

Went to 9:30 Hot Male show. This is about a 30 minute show before bigger 10:30 show. Had a couple of friends there that sat with me and we just talked. Unfortunately only about 5 customers, but was told Friday was packed. They still have a shortage of boys. Maybe 15 last night, but told many returning now from New Year.

 

Went to Maxis for a drink. I'm good friends with one of the waiters so spent a lot of time in conversation. Decided to to over to Fresh Boys to catch midnight show. For me, Fresh Boys and XBoys have the best shows. Colorful and upbeat. Had some problems with aggressive Mamasan and boys. Got my drink and Mamasan says what boy do you want to come over. I said no boy, just want to watch show. Minute later a boy just sits next to me. I ignored him. He grabs my hand and gets all cuddly. Waiter right there . I said no drink for boy. Boy still sits there. Minute later another boy sits on other side. Again I said no drinks for boy. I told both boys I didn't plan on show and didn't have much money. Sorry no drinks or off's. They both sat there till the next unsuspecting customer came in.

He bought them drinks.

Part of the reason I stayed so long. The show opened with a high energy dance number that was really good. 3 boys. One was really hot and got my attention and I wanted to meet him. He was in the first number, then dissapeared till show was over. When he went onstage after show, I called him over. He is on my calendar for tonight.

 

Left show and went back to Maxis to get something to eat. My waiter friend was having a really bad day and spent an hour telling me of his problems. He just sat with me and I bought him a drink. At least at that hour not many customers and his co-workers covered for him. Interesting evening. I spent a lot of time listening and watching last night. Tonight is going to be all about me and playtime.

 

Got home about 3am, in bed at 4am. Up at noon. I'm usually up by 8 and call that sleeping in. Noon really throws the day off.

Tomorrow is a religious holiday. Some bars say sell alcohol, some say no. So not sure what tomorrow will bring.

[vinapu]

good luck with boy from Fresh Boys tonight !

[firecat69]

Good reports but get that camera out of mothballs?

[paulsf]

Most of the boys I have been with don't like pictures taken, so I have just stopped asking. I still have a hard time posting them anyways.

[paulsf]

Went to Fresh Boys to meet up with boy I met there last night. Walked in and Mamasan was right there. Recognized me and asked if I wanted boy from last night. They weren't going to let me get away empty handed tonight. Boy was there before I ordered drink. Said it was ok for boy to have drink. He is a straight, so I wanted to talk for a couple minutes to make sure I would have some fun. My last two straight boy off's didn't work out to well. Agreed to everything sitting at club, did nothing when we got to apartment.

 

I'm fairly vanilla so easy to please. He agreed with what I asked and said we would have a great time. Boy is really cute and all smiles. So said lets go. Off fee now is 550.

 

When we got into the elevator at my building, he started kissing. My concerns are starting to ease. Got to apartment and he was out of his clothes before I unbuttoned my shirt. He said, we shower. Shower is my favorite playground. into the bedroom. Got everything I could have asked for and more. The part I liked best is he wasn't shy as I find many Thai boys are, But I suppose if I looked like him, I would be happy to show off my body to.

I have a feeling this boy is going to be financially comfortable for the next couple of months. Probably the 2nd best off I have had in my 7 years of Thailand trips.

The best off was my first trip to Pattaya with 2 boys from Boyz Boyz. I'll turn that evening into a book .

 

I think tomorrow is a day of rest poolside. No alcohol in the bars tomorrow. (Wink wink).
