Trip Report (Nov/Dec 2024) - Trying out new experiences

[jason1975]

Two weeks in Bangkok. Decided to stay in Airbnb instead of hotel. Found a unit in an old condo building in Soi 3. Stay for 1 week then 2nd week move to usual Le Meridien. I chose an Airbnb because I wanted a kitchen so that my guy can cook for me. The listing for the Airbnb said there was a kitchen and cooking was allowed. Alas, there wasn't a stove or cooker. There was a microwave oven only!

Despite the lack of stove for cooking, the unit met my requirements. Clean, spacious and homely. Old 7-storey building but good location and there's even a gym, swimming pool and laundry machines on 5th floor.

Arrived in Bangkok in late afternoon. Little traffic on a Sunday. After checking in, went to G Bangkok for dinner with two forum members and their guys. Found out that the cat residing there is called Cloudy. After that, we spent the next 2 hours playing pool. My guy finished work and joined us and we had a good time over pool and beer. After that we split and went back. I had a great night. Woke up in morning for 2nd round then off to Foodland Patpong. Managed to make it in time for breakfast special. @vinapu would be proud of me!

Staying in Soi 3 means I get to be near guys staying in rented rooms in the buildings around. My Grndr app shows many guys nearby at 1 metre! I can even see one guy enjoying a smoke in the next block facing my balcony!

Owh no. That's false advertisement. I wouldve at least asked if the owner has a different unit with stoves or if they have a portable stoves that you can have for your stay. Another alternative, buy a portable stoves for your guy to use and gave it to him after you left hehe.
