Good times in Pattaya and Silom Soi 2

[BiggusDikkus]

I'm just returning from a really good trip to Thailand. In fact, it was surprisingly good, and there are three main reasons for this:

1. I took some advice from several forum members who replied to a question I posted on this thread three months ago:

I wanted to know which of the three ED drugs is least likely to bring on headaches. Basically the advice was to try all three, then choose the one that helped the most and hurt the least. I had been using Viagra for years and putting up with increasingly severe headaches.

I did some online research and decided to try Cialis first. Those years I spent using Viagra? I always bought some Thai-made generic pills from a little drugstore tucked next to a corner of the Emporium shopping mall. A box of four 100mg pills cost 280 baht. That was really cheap, I thought, which is one reason I kept going back to that store. So ... let's ask how much generic Cialis is.

Uh-oh. Wasted trip. My favorite recreational drug store did not make it through the pandemic. I obviously wasn't the only tourist keeping it in business. So I'll return to the gayborhood and over-pay for my pills, I thought.

But finding an affordable option turned out to be, well, impossible. The first place that said they had Cialis was the counter inside the UNESCO World Heritage site on Patpong. How much, I asked. "2,500 baht," came the response.

Man, that's a lot more than 280 baht, I thought. The price was for a box of four 20mg tablets. After an exhaustive search of a wide area from Surawong well past Sathorn, I spent 1,000 baht on a 4-pack of generic Cialis. Still a lot more than 280 baht.

After some more online research I decided to start off with half a pill. The results?

Corpora Cavernosa Magnifico! A triumph of youthful proportions! And no headache whatsoever!

2. There were a lot of cuties in Pattaya. I almost never find the slender-but-well-defined type of twink I'm looking for when I go to Pattaya and always end up leaving two days after arriving. But this time there was a veritable smorgasbord. The selection of eager bottoms combined with my soaring confidence, youthful vigor and porn-star-like stamina -- all chemically generated, of course -- made me feel like I was Justin Bieber on an anonymous trip to Brazil. All of the hotties wanted me to fuck them. At least that's what it seemed like. You know how Pattaya is. I had fun in both Boyz Town, even though it is a sad shadow of what it once was, and in Jomtien, where there is a real buzz of excitement in the air. I will definitely make Pattaya a larger part of my Thailand itineraries from here on out.

3.  The renovation of Silom Soi 2. This is where DJ Station is, and DJ Station still seems to be the major attraction. It used to be my happy place. I couldn't get enough of its vibe, of the hot, hard, bronze-skinned bodies who would take off their shirts, jump on the stage and sensually gyrate to the music as if they couldn't get enough attention. The first floor was like heaven, but of a multilevel heaven that was even more of a paradise on the second floor, where Southeast Asia's cutest twinks used to hang out, eager to start conversations with Westerners. I am not a drag fan but I even loved the DJ Station drag show that would start at 11:30 every night. The headline performer had the ability to be hilarious even to people who do not speak Thai. Finally, I always loved the music in DJ Station, often finding myself on that previously mentioned stage without my shirt.

I would always feel let down when the lights would come on announcing closing time. But DJ Station lost its vibe sometime around 2008. The hot young Thais just stopped showing up, it seemed. So did the second-floor twinks. And the place was getting old. The stench of urine was almost everywhere. Eventually, I kind of wrote off DJ Station and found other reasons to go to Thailand, like the SK Party during Songkran and the White Party during New Year's. If I was in town at some other time of year, I'd wait in my hotel until late, then go to G.O.D. because I knew DJ Station would be a disappointment.

But DJ Station is back, baby! The entire soi has been given a face lift. Now there are no walls or doors to any of the clubs. They are all open-air. In DJ Station, the gyrating, bronze-skinned boys are back and so are the twinks eager to start conversations on an expanded second floor.

It was Saturday night. Well, Sunday morning, really, as I didn't get to DJ until well after midnight, and all the locals were already chatting up the tourists. No matter. I was enjoying the party-like-its-2007 vibe and just happy to be there. Eventually, right before 2, I decided to head back to my hotel, but I was waylaid before I got to the door by an adorable young man who made me guess his age. If we were not in a place that checked IDs, I would have guessed 18. It turns out he was more than a decade older than that. He didn't mind when I told him my age. We talked, and when the lights came on, he and his friends invited me to an after-hours club I had never heard of called Sake.

We were in a taxi for at least a half hour, it seemed, trying to get around numerous police barricades to wherever it was we were going. When we finally got there, I had no idea where we were, what part of Bangkok we were in.

Sake turned out to be a straight Thai-style nightclub where groups of friends stand around tables after ordering a bottle of whiskey and mixers. A run-of-the-mill, industrial-looking after-hours club, except for one super cute boy on the other side of the space who kept checking me out. Why? Because I'm the only white person in the club? Because I'm with someone almost half my age? And where am I again? Is this a gay-mix party?

The new vibe that one boy was giving off definitely made me wonder.

But there was a stage, more of a runway, in the middle of the bar that a lot of straight couple were jumping onto and showing off their moves. So, yeh, I'm in a straight bar. My new friend who took me to Sake (pronounced like the Japanese rice wine) didn't seem to mind this other kid checking me out. In fact, when the guy walked by our table, my new friend stopped him and began caressing him, then encouraging me to do likewise. Soon enough this boy's shirt was off and the caressing did not stop. His hands also found their way into my jeans as he wanted to check out my size. I kind of didn't mind being molested in this way. In fact, I liked it and started wondering if a three-way was in the making.

So did my friend, who asked the new boy if he'd like to join us. The kid looked at me, then at my new friend and ever so slightly shook his head.

No.

Was I disappointed? Yeh, but it was a long shot and I was already with the second-cutest guy in the bar (which did indeed turn out to be a gay-straight mix club as male couples also began taking to the runway. I love this about Thailand. Gay or straight, no one cares. We're all having fun).

So how did this new kid end up in our taxi on the way back to my hotel in the Silom-Sathorn district? He says he's going to an after-after-hours club on Soi 6 but is starting to tease me, too. Might the three-way be on after all? My chemically rejuvenated cock was sure ready for one. What a great way to cap off an already fantastic Thailand trip! But it didn't happen.

Still, I must look out for this club on Soi 6 next time I'm in Bangkok, which will be much sooner than I had previously planned. Is it a club? Maybe a sauna?

Here in Jomtien, I found this shop that sells Cialis - box of 4 - 20mg for 400 baht - so, 100 baht per pill.  Not sure if this is a good price - but just want to share information.

It is right outside of our Jomtien Complex on the main Thappraya road.  (Note the image below it is quite dated - as it has been quite a while since the Google street view car has passed to update the street view image).

From what I remember, Pattaya Viagra prices were always cheaper than Bangkok's -- except for that little store next to the Emporium. I guess the same holds true for Cialis. Bangkok drugstores must be running an ED pill cartel.

In Australia I pay $30 for 8 Cialis , I guess that's around 800 baht which I thought was expensive but seems around same price Thailand

Are others a little wary of buying drugs from small pharmacies which may not be kosher? I bought some omezaprole back in November in Pattaya, the price of which was so ridiculously low, compared to those in the UK, that I wondered.

I have a prescription program that provides 90 Cialis, 5 mg, for 150 Baht. Hard to believe.

wow - please tell us more.  How can we also join this prescription program ?

[kokopelli3]

The program is a perk of my job upon retirement.

Yes, do check it out!  You would need a prescription from a doctor for enlarged prostate (BPH) which is not uncommon for older men. The Cialis helps with urination although one must suffer the side effects. Typically the prescription would be for Cialis to be purchased in your home country and thus, necessary to have a friend bring it to Thailand or bring it yourself.

I never thought of it but my doctor recommended it. Also if in USA, you can ask the doctor for a prescription for your insurance plan plus a second prescription for discount pharmacies such as GoodRx who work with CVS, ShopRite, Giant, etc. about $20/90 pills.
