vinapu Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 vinapu has his priorities in order. Many older farangs cling to every baht and miss out on the time of their lives. You can live out your dreams and fantasies, even if you're morbidly obese, ugly as sin and old as the hills, but it will cost you some baht. I hope it does not leave readers with impression that I'm all those underscored things LOL williewillie 1 Quote
vinapu Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 @vinapu, what kind of tea is it? I never seen tea served in tawan before. Tea was mentioned in Pattaya part of report / ABomb /, at Tawan they don't serve hot drinks but many other bars in BKK and PTY do. While ago Christian mentioned that when bar hopping it's easier to drink a tea than get saturated with all those soft drinks or beer not to mention even water which is animal's domain to drink , not human's, but some still do. I borrowed that idea and executed. If going to one bar only I still stick to my beer Quote
traveller123 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Hope there is a LP trip report in the pipeline Traveller We really enjoyed the trip but it was all about the ambience and the food. We didn't find any gay bars or gay massage, so sorry nothing to report in that direction. But if you are taking your special guy and want a hotel and restaurant recommendation I can supply both.

vinapu Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 I recalled someone mentioning they did a 2nd round in the morning for long time off of boys in Pattaya... But I always wonder IF "it goes without saying" that long time off for Tawan Boys is also the same. Any experienced off-er could shed some lights on this? there's always novel option of leaving whole thing till morning. Beauty of long time off among other things is that instead of bar hopping and splitting hair which boy is the most suitable to take home , one has boy , warmed up right there. And it goes even without saying then long time off provides much more economical boy-hour than short time one. One hour with Saranrom boy will cost minimum 500, the same than grossly overpaid 8 hrs at 4000 Quote
vinapu Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Vinapu, thanks for your reports I am sure I speak for a lot of members in thoroughly enjoying reading them. my pleasure , my pleasure, thank you traveller123 1 Quote
vinapu Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Day 10 When boy left I suggested we go to a Central Festival mall since I never been there. During day Pattaya is quite boring for me , statement which seems to rile both firecat and 1moRussian. Both on a separate occasion s suggested that one way of fighting daytime spleen is to take boy / s/ for a trip to Koh Larn. As soon as we crossed Beach Rd to walk toward the mall along the sand I recalled it when tout offered speed boat to the island for a meagre 3500 baht waiting included. Steep in relation to 60 baht ferry costs but did I mentioned I was in good mood. Left Alek there , went back to the room since I did not have that much money on me and in few minutes we were speeding toward the sunset or whatever. Thank you both gentlemen , not my idea of fun exactly because I like mountains and ruins not water and sand but for a change it was great. From ChristianPFC’s blog I recalled there is some hiking option on the island and as soon as we approached landing beach I saw some statue high up there spoiling Alek’s mood immediately when I told him I want to go there . Beach is very pleasant and water much , much cleaner than in Pattaya so no wonder island is so popular. Walking along the beachfront Alek showed me some famous local treats liker durian toffees and some fish snacks and I got a hint that I should buy him some. In a sense it was an eye opener to watch when he weights if 200 baht package is not too expensive compared to smaller 100 baht one . We use to think nothing about 100 baht but for them is actually lot on money which was obvious. Even more toughing was to see that he really doesn’t want to stretch my expenses to a upsetting point but loosen up a bit when I told him that where I live bus ticket costs more than 100 baht. So we bought this and that for him and his friend in the bar he mentioned fondly as his mentor / #31/. At end of walkway his salvation come, motorsai rental for 300 a day. Immediately he suggested that we rent one and he will drive me everywhere / likely hoping I will not have a time for this stupid hiking to the local MT Everest/ Little knows he about me but I let him have it and shotly world saw us crossing tiny island here and there , stopping along the way for an ice cream and on another beach to get few ‘ I know what you are thinking ‘ reprimands. Great pleasure sitting close to his fit body and holding to his hips and at times below . And there was this side road I asked him to turn in. No, not to find bushes but to go to a statue on the hill. I left him there since he flatly refused to climb with me so I went alone to a peak to get a peek of the island, sea and Pattaya in the distance. We were both happy, me climbing and him not. It was an afternoon already so we called boat to be ready and soon we were speeding toward Pattaya. Not exactly cheap but nevertheless enjoyable trip, thank you firecat and 1moRussian for an inspiration. On the firm land we went to Wat Chai market to buy another local specialty, some kind of fish in a jar and again I could see that there’s big difference for boys between 150 and 250 but I was not keen on seeing my boy suffering and bought him bigger more expensive jar again to see him very happy at relatively low expense. Then I thought after all that climbing I deserve a massage so boy went to the room and I crossed soi to Copa where I spotted some muscular hunk and went for 450 / 1000 treat . I told boy just massage and I’m glad he did not pay much attention to my specifications. Then Alek and I went for a dinner to the same place not only because delicious food but to get another glimpse of cute waiter. Over the meal we decided to hire another companion for a night and I suggested Toy Boys for a change. Quite busy bar , several customers, boys quite lively on the stage and again I left to Alek to pick up suitable candidate. He found somebody , we called him over , bought him a drink and sealed deal unfortunately for a short time only since he couldn’t or did not want to stay till morning. When we were ready to go all of the sudden Alek had a change of mind since another suitor declared long time willingness. There I have problem, I left decision to Alek, he is dumping boy over technicality and I had a feeling that is not fair to the boy so I decided to slip him promised tip and tell him he is free tonight at no monetary loss. He accepted his fate with smile and likely I’d too in the same position but I wouldn’t feel well if we just dumped him and told him to leave. Waste of money for a piece of mind , worth 1500 trouble. But substitute boy did not work out even close to the one from last night, at least Alek did not like him after all so whole task of entertaining boy was left for me , not an unpleasant chore on my part. So night activities proven both expensive and only partial fun. Chalked it to experience , in the morning boy got his tip and left before Alek even woke up finishing day 10 for me. 1moRussian, biguyby, ChristianPFC and 1 other 4 Quote

ct2005 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 there's always novel option of leaving whole thing till morning. Beauty of long time off among other things is that instead of bar hopping and splitting hair which boy is the most suitable to take home , one has boy , warmed up right there. And it goes even without saying then long time off provides much more economical boy-hour than short time one. One hour with Saranrom boy will cost minimum 500, the same than grossly overpaid 8 hrs at 4000 I guess that means doing the deed either before sleep or after wake up . Unless the boy initialize it, otherwise I would actually be contented with just 1 round. Going for 2nd rounds are more likely for boys who are in their 20s. Most probably not for Tawan men in their 30s. And definitely not for me. Quote
williewillie Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I hope it does not leave readers with impression that I'm all those underscored things LOLI wondered if anyone would take my very broad generalization of the majority of farangs in Pattaya personally. Of course, it'snothing personal as vinapu is neither morbidly obese, ugly or ancient. Many expats refer to big spenders as two week millionaires and almost all expats have bfs, or regulars they see frequently or use the gay hookup websites, and full service massage joints. The gay beach at Jomtien used to be full of opportunities but now it's mostly old Germans in thongs, which is a gross exaggeration, and really gross. vinapu 1 Quote
vinapu Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Nice to hear you took the plunge for the speedboat. Too bad you never made it to Food Court in Central Festival! it was kind of spur of the moment and I even may be inclined to repeat in the future. As for the mall, that's inconvenience of having boy in tow, at times he may have his own ideas of spending time / and my money/ Quote
vinapu Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 I guess that means doing the deed either before sleep or after wake up . what do you mean 'after wake up'? do you go to Thailand to sleep? 1moRussian 1 Quote

But no boys bar there... Looks like it's quite safe to visit a mall with Alek (not so with said Win ) Quote
orson Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 it was kind of spur of the moment and I even may be inclined to repeat in the future. If this island is similar in distance to coral island, then that was money well spent. We took the speedboat as well, and even then got sea sick during the journey. Imagine what could have happened if we took the slower boat. Quote
vinapu Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Love your reports. Will you be putting all your trips into a blog? thank you, blog highly unlikely but if you want I can send you links to all my trip reports placed in this forum since 2013 when i joined Actually, you can stay a night at Ko Larn, but don't choose a hotel close to the village peer. But no boys bar there... Looks like it's quite safe to visit a mall with Alek (not so with said Win ) it is quite tempting , boy can be taken from PTY or even arranged to come by the ferry. Your comparison is spot on , monetary speaking I found Alek undemanding at all and with lesser appetite but Win has his advantages too - did not try to be my boyfriend If this island is similar in distance to coral island, then that was money well spent. We took the speedboat as well, and even then got sea sick during the journey. Imagine what could have happened if we took the slower boat. no idea where Coral Island is but old Pattaya hands may help. We did not have problem with seasickness but sea was quiet that day. No doubt in my mind that money was well spent, it was fun. 1moRussian 1 Quote

Thank you ,I'm not short of self-esteem but your comment actually made my day. I'm glad I spent those hours typing useful or enjoyable things. If I can inspire somebody to improve their own vacation time , even better. I grew up in a family which considered vacations more important than worldly possessions and I learned to cherish every moment of time off. I understand other may have different priorities, that is what makes life colorful and corporations rich You remain the emperor of kindness. stop swearing at me LOL Quote
1moRussian Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 it is quite tempting , boy can be taken from PTY or even arranged to come by the ferry Yep, from PTT By the ferry And a motorcycle could be rented for the whole 24 hours, not just daytime Although never made it to the top of the mountain (Still smiling remembering) Quote
Popular Post vinapu Posted June 21, 2016 Author Popular Post Posted June 21, 2016 Day 11 After breakfast time to return to civilization. I stopped empty songtaew on the Second Road, he wanted 200 to Bus Station but quickly settled for 150. I know we could go for 20 per person using regular service but I like to travel in style it seems. Short wait for a bus, smooth trip to BKK and in early afternoon we were marching to Nantra Silom. Not as shiny as Raya but adequate enough, great location, comfortable room for a little bit over 1000, good value for money. No , boy did not stay with me. We agreed for farewell meeting tomorrow, I promised to drop by Tawan tonight to pay off fee and moment came him and no doubt some readers are waiting for: compensation. When he originally suggested going with me he said he will be happy if I pay off fee and his expenses but removing him from bar equals removing him from earning possibilities so I promised to give him my long time rate 3000/ day and gave him 1000 baht extra as a bonus. He seemed very happy , in fact he was happy all that time we were together. In contrast with Bank , my QBF last May he did not complain that I spoil other boys with excessive tips and did not ask me for anything other than small local treats for his sister and his friend from the bar. Taking extra boys was our mutual idea just for fun of it, this trip I tried crowded bed option. He went hope to get some sleep , I, after short rest decided to go again to Superhero. 40 minutes to Bearing , 15 minutes walk along Sukhumvit to soi 78 and another 2 or 3 in the soi – like Terminator I was back. It was about 5 , only few boys on duty , immediately I was promised few more will be coming in several minutes but no need since Charoon , boy I had few days ago was there flexing his impressive muscles so I went for a repeat. Again , place may be shabby and in need of sprucing out but service left nothing to improve starting with shower together all the way to showering together again. Since it was only few days from last time he remembered what I like and it was again better session that I recall from old Hero from all those years with possible exception of massages by O. So definitely worth such along trek for me , massage 550, tip 1500 and immediately after leaving I regretted that I did not try to invite him to my room for a my last night in LOS. Around 8.30 I was expecting knock in the door since Anddy from our forum and I agreed to have dinner together at Thai restaurant in Silom plaza. He recommended their signature dish, may favorite chicken with cashew nuts when they were in their old location in soi 9 . They are easy to find - several tables in the open on ground floor as on enters plaza on his was say to Arena. In fact they are right by escalator. I thought it’s perfect spying point if one wants to catch Arena boys going to work or even better ending their shift. We did not wait long to prove my assumption. Great company , interesting discussion and perfect food, now I’m not sure where to get my favorite dish, there or Oasis on Suriwong . It was great to meet another board member with good insight about life in Thailand. As suspected after a while familiar face showed up – James from Arena going home after his day. I had few massages with him and offed him long time as well but opportunity of another off was wasted by me because on this trip I’m fixated on Tawan monodiet. But thank you Anddy for recommending place and in future I’ll try to make is hunting spot just for fun . Short chat with James who is quite talkative and Anddy and I went back to Nantra where we parted ways. He went home and I for the last time this trip made very short trek to Tawan / Nantra is in the same soi but at Silom end while Tawan is at Suriwong end/ . I was hoping to off either Boy or Tiger but they were absent and for a good reason because of expected / gut feeling or tip / police raid . As we know from another thread it actually happened in soi Twilight next night. Od #14 joined me immediately with request that he wants to have breakfast with me so I seemed to be fixed for a night, familiar body and face offed 7 times already including 2 this trip. Ton # 48 , one who was circling around for a while and then all of the sudden couldn’t go few days ago also came down to offer his company but I told him I’m taking Od after the show. As far as I see he is close to perfection body wise with steel muscles but not overbuilt like most of bodybuilders and I was a bit sad I’m leaving tomorrow so miss chance of hugging him closer. I don’t remember which one of them came with an idea, it was not me, that after all both can go with me. Even Alek who joined my table in meantime applauded an idea secure in knowledge that tomorrow belongs to him. Since Ton is new to me we discussed tip, he wanted more but fast agreed to my regular 3000 clearly asking boys what I paid them. So true to form , first and last night of this trip I was escorted by a boy new to me, well not entirely, because Od was just equaling all time record of 8th time off set by Bank from BBB Pattaya last May. But first the show. Today I saw Mekhin in the bar first time this trip , he was in the show in the sexy dance number together with #7 and at one point they went to the audience with Mekhin stopping in front of me so I had a chance of slipping 100 baht deep into his jeans and other boy was called over to get his tip as well. I have my sights on #7 in future , I like his biceps and height- he is one of tallest boys there. Od was in the number with parasols so only after the show/ another 100 baht for chuck wow contesters / we left. Hefty bar fine to be paid tonight, 1500 baht, two boys today and I paid for Alek for tomorrow as well. But life is short and so is supply of money but this is what lines of credit are for. Od and I walked and Ton followed us on his motorsai. We went to 7/11 to buy some supplies, on reception I paid 100 baht for an extra towel, no questions asked, I love Thailand. Busy night for me with being in the middle and only thing I could wish for was that every passing hour had 80 minutes , not 60. At least they could catch some sleep, no sandwich. While Od, s qualities are very well known to me I must say Ton was nice surprise , but I like straight guys and he sensed it very well. Another great boy from Tawan to return to. Sure time and money would be better spent to have them as a separate guests , unfortunately time become in short supply hence such an experiment. Breakfasts in Nantra are very basic with nothing to a Thai palate so Od and me walked and Ton went by motorsai to Foodland. In restaurants I tip 20 baht if bill is below 300 and 40 is its 300-600. Change of 13 baht came so I gave two twenties as a tip and wanted to pocket coins but Ton asked me to give to him so he will put in a piggy bank for his small baby. It was actually quite moving because it was not about money, 13 baht will not buy much so I dug into pocked and gave him all metal I had there and it was probably more than 100 since I like change and always have supply. Time to say good bye, last hugs with Od , 100 slipped for a taxi, Ton gave me a ride back to hotel so I slipped him also 100 and day 11 finished. Certainly I spent plenty today, not entirely efficiently but had that light feeling having just good time leaves us with. Typing that 10 days later I still smile. biguyby, ChristianPFC, 1moRussian and 3 others 6 Quote
vinapu Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Nantra Silom is good value for money. Some rooms can use more maintenance but generally over years I had only once issue there with room smelling durian. Location is great too- quiet corner but steps from Silom Quote
