Hasty reward - trip to Thailand and Malaysia in May of 2023

[vinapu]

Day 17 , continued

  About 1 hr later ST Lined me he is about to arrive so I went down to the street level to see him arriving in style on motorsai smiling broadly. We decided to eat something , across the soi from hotel is small Thai eatery serving simple but tasty and cheap dishes so we feasted there for 160 for two oft drinks included.

 Then to the room where I made sure I was compensated for empty night and what is even more important ST made it even more sure I was happy. At one point when I complemented his built with sinister motive to allow me to take picture ( no I will not post it here nor will send it by PM ) of his well attended to body he said something I never heard before from guy  “ I take care about my body so you can enjoy it” , wow ! I enjoyed it indeed, more than expected . It was really great 3 hours.

It did not come cheap but it was worth  every penny I gave him and  what I spent on him bit later. His shoes were quite worn off. Not sure it was staged or really he did not have anything better but when he noticed I noticed their shabby state he asked if I can buy him new pair. What a smart guy ! But as my godmother used to say “it’s better to lose something with smart than find something with stupid”.

So plot or not , I agreed although placed silent limit of 2000 on such largesse.  We went to Silom Center as I told him my time is limited and in Central there were sport shoes on sale. After trying few pairs he settled on some Adidases  for 2160, I told him I can give only 2000 , he agreed to fork out that 160 extra which of course I reimbursed  him back as we were leaving mall. So I spend quite a bit on two session with ST  but on this trip I had few excellent encounters and both with him were ones I suspect I will remember well still in few years.

 Happy but still smarting after that failed night I had one more shining star in mind. But first things first, I returned to the room and packed as much as I could before returning to boy hunting. Since today is Thursday , schnitzel special at G’Bangkok it’s where I went. Lined reader about my plans and he  joined me on that Thailand’s last supper.

Both Banana’s barkers welcomed me enthusiastically as always so I practiced my vinapu tuck on them shamelessly in front of their bar, told them I’m leaving tonight and one who I have some hots for whispered  me something which makes me wanting to return to Thailand  before end of this century or even this year , if only to check if it’s true.

Then reader went his way and I marched to Hot Male hoping S will be there. He heard my voice talking to P the host and appeared in bar’s door .Action was fast, let’s go. I told him, 2 hrs only so no dinner but bough him something  to eat at 7/11 and he made sure  my last session of this sudden , unexpected and unplanned trip was as great as all our previous meetings.

2000 baht later he left , I finished packing , freshen up for long trip home only to see it time to go because both shaving cream and tooth paste jut run out.

 At 11.30 I was on the street and taxi just showed up around the corner. 500 no meter he said. No , meter is 300 so I give you 400 said I . No,  450   said he. No 400 I insisted , Ok, ok said him and in few seconds I was on my way. At the Swampy I gave him that 450, still happy with such fruitful day.

 All went smooth and at 2.30 we rolled out of gate as scheduled

 I was wailing over wasted last night but I wondered if it was actually good idea to have  good night sleep before such long trek. I almost never sleep on the plane  but this time I did, at least 4 continuous hours out of 7 to Doha and probably it would be longer if they did not wake me up for breakfast which I did not want to eat anyways.

Three hours there was enough to survey airport which I liked a lot , specially that park in the middle of terminal.

 

On second leg I also slept few hours so when finally after 30 hours and 55 minutes from closing door at hotel I opened my own,  I was surprisingly fresh. Enough that I made post-trip laundry before retiring to own bed.

Summary tomorrow and then I shut up

I am sure many of us want to know what he whispered to you!

Diversity is the spice of life ! It was fun indeed to be in Bangkok at the same time .

Final reflections

 Best thing about that trip was that it was entirely unplanned and unexpected. Last time I had such fast decision trip to Thailand was back in 2013 , also in May. I found it very energizing waking up in the morning to find out by midnight than in 2 days I’m flying to other end of world.

 That’s advantage of being retired as such feast would be hardly doable in normal 9-5 working conditions.

 Because luggage was free I was hauling more  goodies than usually when I travel just with carry on  and found it bit tiring considering my habit of changing hotels every 2-3 nights. Perhaps time to  try more permanent arrangement next time like changing place only once per trip.

 I’m happy I decided to return to butterflying giving every bar  a chance. I’m still warming toward Jupiter and after two visit this trip I’m more than half  way there. It used to be bar I did not like at all so it’s great improvement. Line up on my 1^st visit this trip was truly impressive,  as I mentioned I like 100 % of what was on offer.

 My disappointment was unspoken so far in report. Last trip I spotted  some hunk in Thai Relax massage in soi 6 on my last day and he was not available. I hoped to see him this trip but he went home for good according to other boys from that venue.

ST from Tawan was great find of this trip  shining both with personality and body. He probably realized that and was bit costly but I liked him very much thank you and only can hope he will be there next time. Along with Y from Moonlight and S from HotMale, all offed twice they were my trip heroes.

Masseur N who extracted 5 sessions from me had best chance to be super star but spoiled it a bit by not reading me properly – I don’t like irrelevant or nosy messages like ‘how are you ?’ or “what you are doing now ?” he was bombarding me on Line even if I know there were well meaning and supposed to show he cares. It’s funny situation as I like guy a lot and his massage was by far the best I had in a few trips and in the room he performed as I liked plus plus,  I still had moments I was mad at him. And this is actually not funny.

Overall Line is great tool to hook up and communicate with guys but sometimes I wonder if it’s really worth of trouble to give boys my Line because of such case of abuse so to speak. On another hand it was life saver when due to holiday bars were closed but I managed to utilize my contacts and pull it as best day of the whole trip.

 Tawan with Banana in second place continue to be most friendly bars as far as I see even if Tawan boys are trying to abuse my wallet but at least they do it good natured way and understand word NO without any grimaces .

 As for massage Jey Spa continues to be my post Covid massage central and both guys I had there were gold standard how session and masseur  should look like . Not for first time I noticed that with price service standard goes up which theoretically it’s how it’s supposed to be but we all know it’s far from reality.

 I was concerned I’m losing thing for Thai boys with few voluntary empty nights which almost never happened before,  but now , with cold head I see that perhaps it’s bit of natural. After overheating cool down time should come. If I don’t feel like having companion why should I torment myself with looking for one ?

 Two boys pissed me off , one by not showing and another one by asking for dink and leaving me promptly which was more painful due to fact we had common history with either one. My revenge was simply to skip off this trip and tell them why. At least one confirmed that he got the message.

Prices are going up. I’m not taking vacations to save money as staying home does better job but had few sticker shocks – 1000 off fee at BoyzBoyZBoyz, 900 massage fee at Tawan, 6000 long time request from Tawan Boy( declined). I think time will come when some haggling will be in order.

I praise myself for idea of breaking my trip by going to Kuala Lumpur and I’m eternally grateful to my local friend there for being my guide and companion.

 Finally heartfelt thank you to reader, Anddy, Jason 1975 and ChristianPFC for all those meals  and bar visits together.

 Due to family and my personal issues timing of my next trip is unknown but working on it. Brutal truth is , whatever plans I may make they may be ruined at the short notice. Ever optimist I hope for at least one more this year or early next one.

I'm no optimist, but a realist and think you will be there sooner than later 😉

[jason1975]

Thank you so much for meticulously written trip report! Love your generosity to all the guys you met!

I even went downstairs to store nearby to buy package of loose leaf BOH tea, Malaysian brand from  Cameron highlands which I found very good.

 

I love tea - we need to compare notes!  😉

I have a friend in Japan who raves about Line, but have never used it myself - I am sticking to WhatsApp.

Certainly does not sound like you are losing things. In fact I wish my vacations were as action packed as yours - I will try to be a better butterfly and maybe a change of scenery (to Thailand perhaps!) will help. I applaud your adventurous spirit!

Thank you for another great trip report Vinapu.

Well written trip reports like yours really are the the best of this forum.

I love Line, very easy to use and communicate. My problem with Line is that some boys just abuse it by sending tons of irrelevant messages and emoticons and some business accounts also are spamming like there's no tomorrow. But I guess it comes with inventory so I stick to Line through thick and thin.

Yes , I like vacation action packed and often I think it's time to slow and enjoy cup of tea in the room more often. But I'm energized by big cities and in Bangkok I feel like  24 hours is not enough.

You can always enjoy cup of tea with a muscle guy in room!

I can't because I found muscle guys mightily distracting

Then my friend and me  went to some well conspired place providing massage services for man by man. One needs to call to get admission to the building , then wait for unit to open. Inside there were quite a few attractive guys so we made our pick and pay fee  of 280 for 1.5 hr.

Mind to spill the location?

"I did not sleep on the plane and to add , two ladies sitting in my row were yakking quite loudly for most of the flight."

This is where a good pair of noise cancelling headphones, and a decent selection of music can really help. The noise cancelling should take the edge of the yakking, and the decent music should cover the rest.

I won't fly with out them!

best music for me is called 'silence'

[Londoner]

I cannot help recalling a terrible night-time LHR-BKK flight many years ago in which two young women kept -up a non-stop conversation for  the entire twelve hours.

The odd thing is that, on occasions when I tried to listen to it just to understand what subjects could be of interest  for that length of time...sex? football? Thai food?  However, after a number of attempts at this, I gave-up; they were talking about nothing. Nothing all. There was no discrete meaning to anything they said. The sounds were enough. For twelve b***** hours.

Sadly, tinnitus has excluded me from experiencing silence again.

The type of people who have to say whatever thought pops into their head, no matter how inane and pointless it is, because they cannot cope with being sat next to someone they know and not actively being engaged in conversation.

I always travel with two different types of ear plugs. One is made of a waxy substance which can be moulded to the shape of your ear and blocks out almost all sound. But it cannot be used on aircraft because it can trap air in the ear canal. I use them in hotels with a lot of traffic outside or noise from adjoining rooms.

For flying I get the softer plugs that are usually given out in business class but can be purchased in stores like Watsons and Boots. These feel a little strange when you first put them in but I find them very effective in reducing external noises.
