Bangkok Again? 5th time a charm...?

@ggobkk what do you mean by high maintenance with regards to Thai gay boy at Lucky Boys? Does ha charge more than standard 2000 baht rate?

No, short time was quoted as 2000...

I had the impression which could be wrong that he would want lots of complimentary attention about his looks, his clothes, etc.

[ggobkk]

Monday dawned and I will still in bed.  It was quite a bit after dawn when I woke up.  At breakfast all of the golfers had already departed for the links.

My Bangkok messages were mainly from Numazu and Paul, the Moonlight mamasan.  Numazu was checking in and filling me in on what transpired after we said goodbye at Hot Male.  It's quite a lot and is in his report, so I refer you there.  Paul was confirming details for meeting up with babe.  Apparently, pre-show "get-togethers" were not routine but easily arranged.  Fees were as mentioned in other reports.  I gave Paul 500 for being a good sport about the arrangements.  babe is the cynosure of Moonlight's marketing and is definitely a draw.  What caused me to want to spend private time with him was how he dominated the Moonlight stage from opening number to shower show when I visited last week.

From other reports and some private PM-ing, I was not anticipating any wild sexual adventuring and there wasn't any.  What I did encounter is a very charming young man with a killer smile who is focused on his client.  He likes to be the center of attention and i gave him my Ipad and asked him to show me his favorite videos and photos of himself.  He liked this and pulled up many photos showing him fully clothed.  He is, for some, an influencer and the clothes are "gifted".  He likes to travel and is happy to travel with clients (i didn't enquire further).  I asked him to loosen things up and show me his moves for his RIcky Martin "She bangs" number and he let me be the "she". FOr this routine he was in  his briefs which led to a few moments of both laughter and intimacy as the briefs dropped away for a few moments.  He is shy but easily moves to another level when he is performing.  His endowment(s) match the video links some have posted in the forum.  

I asked if he wanted to eat before going back to the club, he declined and then told me more about his trips, especially Hong Kong which he said was "sad, now".  Conversation was via google translate, club commercial English, and guessing it out.

I walked half way back toward Moonlight with him and then I headed to Madrid for my pizza pit stop.  

There is more to my Monday, but those reading my report seem to have been waiting for the above information.

For the rest of Monday...

Around 9pm, I went to Red Dragon for a dose of attention which was achieved, then I went to Lucky Boy, still no Lucy.  Seated in the front, I watched the battery of boys, at least 3 caught my attention, sat with two of them, tipped them with thanks and some red notes and sent them back, asked 22, the straight beauty, to sit with me during the show, told him I wouldn't off him, he allowed my hands to wander.  Maybe by my next trip to Bangkok, he will  have expanded his horizons.  I watched the first 30 minutes of the show, and must admit as Divine Madman told me, if I look beyond the lady boy singers I'll see some great looking guys backing them up.  OK...but the number of singers still is over the top.  I gave #22 several red notes and he gave me a kiss and a grope.

I then went over to Red Dragon, slipping past the Hot Male barkers.  Once there, the bartender handed me a campari and soda and we discussed options for my waiter of the evening.  This would be #4...we agreed it wouldn't be the bartender as he has to lock up and do his  books and not until almost 1am, but maybe sometime...  I told him who had caught my fancy and he said to give him a moment and he went upstairs and came back with one of the two guys I mentioned.  Usual conversation ensued...except that I was a very known quantity among the staff so no need for detail.  I gave him the off fee, he went back to the club, paid it, changed (?) though I couldn't see what had changed, and off we went to the Tarntawan.

It's sort of like being in a play that is having nightly performances...boy knows of me, knows where my hotel is, what security requires, what my room number is, how the elevator operates, where his shoes go, to invite me to shower with him, to drop the towel once he is dry and not to hide under the covers.  All the intimate stuff is the same but with different points of emphasis.  I enjoy it, I think he has a bit of fun, too as he isn't in a hurry to rush off to catch customers from the 2nd show.  

He does leave, security does call, and before I fall asleep, I have a moment to realize this has been a good day.

Apologies for the break in my reporting, New Year's and visitors from out of town occupied my free time.

To go back to where I left off, after a more than active Monday, I woke up on Tuesday, usual routine, breakfast at the hotel, checked texts and emails.  Van text tells me he is back from his visa run and we agree on having dinner before he goes to work at Banana.  I go to Iconsiam to wander around and pass the time.  D'ark is my favorite western farang desert spot, so I indulge in an individual tiramisu. Recommended as is the baked Alaska (fondly remembered from another trip).

Ferry and Skytrain back to Silom, meet some friends for a coffee.

Back at hotel to meet Van at 6...he's late, no surprise, text, he's coming, but...  The "but" is that he is sick, he looks bloated, and has a rash.  He tells me it started a few hours ago.  He asks for some baht to go to a pharmacy.  I tell him, no, and take him to the Bangkok Christian hospital's emergency admissions.  I turn him over to the medical staff and give them my info for costs.

I get texts and photos on a regular basis from Van.  They will be keeping him overnight, are feeding him by drip, he has food poisoning.  He will later tell me it was probably the fish he ate on his way back on the visa run.

Note - I had given him 2000 baht and promised to come to the hospital to pay anything more.  I was never asked by Van or the hospital for any more baht.  Not sure if the 2000 covered  everything or he had some money of his own.  I know when I had to use the hospital's emergency services two years ago, my costs were like $30 USD.

It's now around 9pm, and I have no plans or commitments, so I head to Red Dragon for a drink with the waiters.  Two, who I haven't off, provide extra attention, but I decide to make it an early night, and I do.

Wednesday, dawns, and since I'll be leaving in less than 48 hours, I focus on what I need to do.  Thursday will be Thanksgiving in the USA, so there is a dinner planned with Reader and anddy.  I pick up things I've ordered from Excelsior and Tony Leather.  Van has texted that he will be released sometime in the morning and will go home to sleep.  Asks about dinner tonight.  

My next report will pick up from this point...more out of town guests to deal with...

You have such a kind heart to help Van.

Thank you...but I expect many forum members would do the same.  I don't have a kind heart when it comes to family members being sick, the farm was washed away in a flood, I was robbed and need to go home for new year...

But when someone, I've known for several years is clearly sick and doesn't know what to do then it's different.

Just now recovering from a three-week bout with the flu, I know how important others were in getting me to the recovery point.

[ggobkk]

Apologies for the abrupt end to the last portion of my report.  A friend, who I haven't seen in 15 or more years, decided to visit the SF Bay Area from his home in Massachusetts and he was able to carve out some time for a get together.  We were doing this by text message while I was writing my report and it turned out that the best time then.

So, back to my report...it's was Tuesday night, I've taken Van to the hospital, and decided to make it a quiet night and get some sleep. 

It's now Wednesday, only thing on the agenda is dinner with Van.  After I've run my errands, I walk toward the park and then head over to check out the construction work on the what was the Dusit Thani hotel site.  Can't see much from ground level, more is visible from the Sky Train statin level and the walkways to the park.  Someone is making a fortune on this job.  Huge amount of land that was gardens and low lying outer buildings is getting the high density high rent treatment.

Van comes by around 5pm, definitely looks much better.  He tells me they released him after making sure he had breakfast.  He shows me pictures on his phone of the nurses and the doctor and the IV tubing that fed him for a while.  He said the money I left (2000 thb) covered the cost, or at least they didn't charge more (or, there was change which I won't see).  He says he is going to skip work tonight and rest but he want me to go to the club and off his Viet friend who he has invited to meet up with us at the hotel at 6!

I would caution readers to know that I wasn't totally surprised.  Van has done this before when he wants to play matchmaker.  There is enough time between the suggestion to text his friend and call it off, but Van says he knows me fairly well (true) and thinks Banana Viet (my name for him) would suit me well.  He has done this in the past, once even bringing someone to the hotel who I'd offed from Screwboys (using a room at Pavilion Place) who I had not told him about.  In that case I forgot the Vietnamese internet and was very happy with the intervention and 2nd round.

 So, I say, let's see how dinner goes, let him join us for dinner.  He does, we eat at Mango Tree.  No one eats much so the bill is reasonable.  Banana Viet and I head over to soi 4,  Van goes home to rest, we say goodbye as I'm leaving after midnight on Thursday and he will be at work.  At Banana, I pay the off fee for Van and my evening guest.

It's still early so we have a drink at Balcony.  I learn about the gogo boy life and what options there are at home in Vietnam.

Back at the hotel, he is engaging, he has been coached as to my likes, dislikes, and blends his limits to make it pleasant but not exceptional.  Somehow, I think Van was substituting someone for himself as he was still recovering.  Decided that there was no future in trying to figure out the motivations of the guys, it had been a pleasant evening and so I said good bye to  him.  

I went to bed around 11.  I woke fully rested and ready to start my last few hours when I looked at my watch and found out, I'd been asleep for all of 3 hours as it was just past 1am on Thursday.  

Decided to get up and go out for a walk, maybe checkout the guys taking down the Patpong market stalls.

On Patpong 2,  the Red Dragon bartender, is surprised to see me as he is about to lower the shutters.  Some of the waiters are leaving Freshboy where the 2nd show has ended.  There is some joking about my stopping to off another waiter.  I laugh and say "no more", I'm invited to join them for dinner over at the outdoor dining area on Surawong.  I go with them, more waiters come by, as do several of the boys from the rotation.  I'm not hungry but arrange for a couple of platters of food for the table.  This increased my good heart reputation.  I have very little idea of the conversation but it was very much an after work time to relax moment.  It broke up sometime after 3pm.  Waiter 3 (see above) told me he was going to stay with me tonight because he liked me and wanted a good shower.  I laughed and agreed.  At the hotel he had his shower and we cuddled, I think I fell asleep first.

Thursday morning

It's Thanksgiving in the USA, or will be when the sun crosses the Atlantic in a few hours.  Waiter 3 is up around 10 and wonders if I want to have some morning sex, the answer is affirmative, and we do.  Then we have breakfast and he departs.  Given how the match up took place, I give him a short time tip even though he stayed the night, he's fine with that.

I organize my packing, check the mail, read up on the news from home (depressing).  

I consider a massage and that's as far as that goes.  I'm sort of in an end of trip mood.  So much I might do, so few things that I actually want to do. Following a suggestion from Reader and positive words in one of Vinapu's reports, I check out the Amara hotel.  It has definite possibilities for the future.

I attend the Thursday Manager's Cocktail party at the Tarntawan and have conversations with the Manager and the Assistant Manager.  I wish them the best in their battle to bring an old hotel through its upgrade.  I tip the breakfast waitress who is serving drinks at the party and say goodbye.  She has been a welcoming face most mornings.

I head over to Silom Plaza where I'm meeting anddy and Reader for dinner at the Wine Connection.  We catch up on our activities since last week.  As there is no turkey on the menu we have a fine dinner and enjoy a bottle of wine toasting one another and forum members we know.

After dinner, Reader and I say goodbye to anddy, and head over, to where else, Red Dragon.  The show's started upstairs so there are only a few barkers and waiters around to muss our hair, so to speak.  Across from the bar on the  Dreamboys side of the road, I see a good looking guy who has been staring at me.  He has a ball cap on and appears to be fairly tall.  The bartender being a source of wisdom tells me that he used to work in the clubs, is Vietnamese and gets a seal of approval.  I engage him with a smile and a wave to come over, which he does rapidly.  He is "Q', he has the swimmer's physique that I like and the height to make him seem panther like.  He takes his cap off and his head is shaved!  This is a first (for me).  We have a drink and I know that I am attracted but that I'm ignoring Reader.  Reader smiles and encourages me to continue with exploring the panther.

Fifteen minutes later, having said goodbye to Reader and agreeing to meet up again in the future, we are in my room at the Tarntawan.  Q did not know from the Viet internet where I was staying, nor my floor, nor my room #.  This is a good thing to my mind. He was quick to undress himself and then me.  He has a sleek body and a generous endowment and is proud to show off and encouraged me take a photo or 6.  He goes into wash up before his shower and encourages me to watch, then we shower together, no worry about getting his hair wet.  He dries me off, then makes a small performance about drying himself.  Q understands  some eroticism heightens the evening's events.  He is very good in bed, better than I am ( not that that says much).  I get off on his looks as well as his actions.  He tells me that we have been together before, I cannot remember and I think I'd remember someone like him...but, it's possible he worked on his appearance/body, etc.  He said that was why he was staring at me, as he remembered me.  Whatever, it was a nice couple of  hours at the end of a good visit.  We exchanged Line information, went for a second round in bed, mostly cuddling, then another trip to the shower.  He left around 1am.

I got back in bed to catch some sleep, I need to leave the hotel around 3:30am for my flight.

Around 2am the hotel phone rings, it's security telling me I have a guest.  It's Van, he knows I'm leaving and wants to help me get ready.  He's done this on many trips, and it involves making sure I have shower, that I'm packed, that my electronics are in the right carry on, and making me a cup of tea to relax.  His visit is a surprise but a very pleasant one releasing memories of other trips and departures.

At 3am, I go to the desk to check out, the clerk goes up to inventory the room, returns as everything was in its place, the security guard has found a taxi.  Van tells me he thinks  the fates brought me to town to help him when he was sick.  He doesn't come to the airport but says goodbye in the hotel courtyard.  

Taxi is waiting, I tell him to take the expressway and I'll cover the tolls.  Arrive at the airport, by 4am, in time to have the ANA staff bow to those waiting in line, lots of Americans in line, they just finished a Viking Cruise, looks like i'll be with them to Japan and with many onward to SF.  I use the expedited exit line, then park, as Numazu did, in the Thai Royal Orchid lounge and have some food I trust.  Flight was full to Tokyo, and Tokyo to San Francisco flight was even fuller.  Three days later, I came down with the flu which lasted three weeks.  Pardon that bit of whining...

Good memories of this trip, lots of messages from the guys, especially Van, Q, Yoyo, and some of the waiters.  A month after I return, the messages sort of shift to the needing money kind, which I ignore.  Then they shift to New Year's wishes.

Thanks to all who take the time to report, short, brief, detailed, highlights only, or commenting on reports all help and are appreciated.

And, so readers, Happy New Year!  May the 20s be good to all of us.  I hope to return in late spring to Thailand and is I do, there will be report.

Wise words indeed. 

[reader]

Even if readers have never visited Bangkok, they can get the feel and true flavor of Silom thanks to your reports. You've mastered the balance between what to include and what to leave to  imagination.

Having met Van when he stopped by our table at Maxi's a year ago, it was clear that he holds you in much esteem.  Those familiar with reports of your earlier trips are familiar with him and how you've looked out for him over time. And, as you show above, he has been looking out for you. We can count ourselves lucky if we meet a young man like Van in our travels.

I think you returned home with no regrets because you left few stones unturned. If someone caught your fancy, you gave them a chance--as the wait staff at Freshboys can attest. And allowing us to sit in on your off with Babe was the dessert.

Thanks for the memories.

Bangkok Christian Hospital is along Surawong, yes? Funny I’ve seen the sign many times but it never really registered. What are the facilities like? Is it 24 hours and would this be somewhere a regular tourist could go if in need?

Very good of you to ensure Van received prompt medical attention!

I am always amazed from the excellent memory of the boys and the staff in the bars , they can remember everything when is the last time they saw you , what is your preferences on boys , how much you pay and so on .

[Londoner]

Hank....I paid a visit to the BCH in June to replace some lost blood-pressure medication. It was 0030; the hospital was almost deserted and I had to wait no more than ten minutes before I saw a doctor, who spoke excellent English.  I bought the replacement medication  at a total cost of 1500 bht. The service was impeccable.  

The answer to your question from my experience is yes.

that  must be true emergency as at that time  of the night most likely most of us in BKK  suffer rise in blood pressure . heavy breathing and a sweating, often still forced to exercise by their just recently hired short time personal trainer.

And that repeats night after night at least for those on short time assignment in the city

No, I was not disappointed as the mamsan had been very upfront about what to expect.  I also confirmed with another forum member who had offed babe and he echoed the mamasan.  Could I have hoped for more, certainly.  But I wasn't surprised by the encounter as it was what I was told it would be.

This is not a criticism as you knew what to expect, and also said he was focused on the customer. But the mind boggles that Babe receives so much for doing so little, regular offs at 5000 baht a pop, showered with money garlands, trips to Hong Kong, China, Japan, his Gucci bag, Hermes belt and bangle are all gifted by customers and he has quite the perfume collection too. He must be the highest earning gogo in Silom.

Here's the surf-and-turf special at a high-end NYC steak house that goes for $175 (which exceeds the 5,000 bht Babe gets for a few hours)

Here's Babe

I leave it up to each reader to determine which memory will linger longer

let him have it when he can as his shelf life,  like all other popular guys,  is short. After all nobody is forced to off him and willing buyers while hoping for more know what tehy get and for how much .

There are guys still in business who not long ago were very hard to put hands on electrifying audience when appeared on the stage like  Mekhin or Tam and now chances are are going home empty handed , barely even mentioned on the forums

Agree, like I said it’s not a criticism neither of Babe nor of his customers. Simply me trying to wrap my head around what he’s pulling in compared to other (24 year old and otherwise) gogo boys. 

Mekhin apparently remains popular with Chinese female customers and was just enjoying a trip to Japan.

thanks for finishing up this most lovely report @ggobkk. I totally dig your style and (as I have mentioned before somewhere) your choice of words, which every once in a while forces me to use a dictionary. In the Babe story it was "cynosure" I had to look up - had never ever heard that word before lol
