Don’t believe that dramatic tittle of the report. Yes, it was not one of best and memorable trips but still , when comes to boys, it brought plenty of fine moments. Still it did not work as planned and envisioned, partially because life intervened, partially because I made hasty decision so my sentiment reflected in the tittle about that trip is accurate. Original plane was 4 nights in Bangkok , followed by three in Pattaya, carefully chosen to coincide with show at The Best Bar in Jomtien as part of Maxhunt ( more about that in relevant part ) and then 6 days in Bangkok again. Then life happened, owing to family matters I was forced, or to be more accurate, I had chosen to be forced to cancel my original ticket. Since it was low cost non-refundable one and I never buy trip cancellation insurance, it meant I threw 700 USD it originally cost to the dust bin. They were other related costs amounting to roughly the same , before I stepped out of plane in Bangkok, three day later than planned, I lost about 1400 $. No wonder I’m glad it’s over. Still , mind you I opted for that misery and I’m glad I did. Life, sigh. Then before I even left home I noticed that one of my boys, lets call him Cambodian Boy (CB), changed his Line avatar to something teary. So out of curiosity I asked him if all is ok. It was not as he explained. Due to border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia he was forced to leave his bar job , returned home but told me he will come on 14 to utilize his 7 day visa, all currently available. I did not spill the beans that I should be in Bangkok for part of his time there but I knew that first bar I visit will be Moonlight hoping for that big smile of surprise. Anyways after all those tribulation , instead of Sunday I landed in Bangkok on Wednesday after having extremely pleasant last leg from Doha with all three seats in my row at my disposal. Day1 Landed early afternoon which is the best time as removes all problems with early check in in hotel and allows to change money at best places. Immigration was a breeze this time , 5 minutes and I was out. Speaking about changing money, in the basement by railway station I got 37.10 for euro, and assumption that it was the best rate lasted only until arrival at Phaya Thai station. Immediately after one leaves paid area there are two booths and one offered 37.28 and next one even 37.30. That rate , by the way was matched by XOne hour or two later. My original plan was to stay in Baan Silom but since my 4 night shrunk to one I went for Raya. Owing to low season that had very friendly rates. Settling there I went to post office as had something to mail , then to XOne to change more money and finally to Foodland for my first chicken with cashews – sadly , this time very average. I love that first day there when I’m settling for promising trip buying necessities and checking what is new. Building rising out of soi Twilight ashes is almost completed , that was big and tall new thing. At 8 p.m. I parked myself in front of Banana Club , soon joined for a beer by one of their guys but since he is diminutive guy I was plain social occasion. Still gave him 2 reds for his company by way of patented ‘vinapu tuck”. Then he went inside and I strolled through both Patpongs , in Patpong 2 enthusiastically welcomed buy some guys knowing me from better times. I was tempted to enter Atlas as boys on the stage were in pure and tempting view but one of them spotted me , went down from the stage and immediately lowered his briefs asking for a tip ”for food”. That was bit too fast so I politely explained I just arrived and did not have a chance to change money and declined invitation by boss himself to step inside. At that moment I was not even sure I will go inside that trip at all. I don’t mind spreading money but such antics were too fast moving for my taste. At 10pm. I went to Moonlight and this is what I reported in “Patpong” thread on that day : “I was customer #6 . When show started at 10.30 grand total 12 customers. 10 models, Mean returned but Babe not present. New guy Joey with broad smile quite impressive. About 8 floor boys but regretfully none of two I was hoping to see. At least 3 boys offed including both Lao brothers and guy taken by one who took over Vinapu's account.” . I was disappointed I did not see neither CB nor Y but at least M I offed twice in winter was on the stage and just before I was about to leave bar I motioned him to dress bypassing mamasan who use to leech to me from minute on I show in. It must be dearth of clients because even one of their models I had pleasure with before come to shake hands and exclaim ‘ long time no see you “. Light dinner in Happy Beer Garden and soon M and I were in my room . M is not long time material and I did not expect him to stay past normal short time but low season kicked in and it was already 5 am when he suggested he will go home. Nice surprise for start of trip earning him extra 1000 in the process.

Once, there was a man with a generous heart and a quiet strength. He met a young man many years his junior—someone struggling, someone in need of kindness. What began as a helping hand became a partnership, a love that endured for twenty years. Through all of life’s trials, they stood side by side. The older man provided stability, a home, and love; not only to his partner, but eventually to the partner’s three children, whom he welcomed as part of his family. They built a life together, not in the eyes of the law, perhaps, but in every way that matters. They shared meals, holidays, bills, dreams, and worries. The older man worked hard and paid for everything, trusting that love was enough. But love, sadly, is not a legal document. When he died, everything changed in an instant. There was a will that left everything to charity. There was no life insurance policy with the partner named as beneficiary. The bank accounts were locked. The partner and the children, once wrapped in the warmth of a secure life, found themselves suddenly adrift, cold, and cast aside. No inheritance. No protection. No safety net. Just grief, bills, and uncertainty. And so the partner, after twenty years of care, now sleeps on the street. His children go without him as he did not have the skills to survive. The man who once promised to look after them is gone. This is not how love should end. Let this be a cautionary tale: if you love someone, prepare. If you build a life with someone, protect them. Have a will that helps and protects them. Share ownership. Name your partner as beneficiary. Talk about the future, not just in dreams, but in documents. Because death comes for us all, and love alone won’t keep your partner warm once you’re gone. Only foresight, planning, and legal protections can do that. Love well. And love wisely.

4th trip this year. Yes, I can hear the groans and silent cursing of many forum members. 6 days 5 nights. Thursday to Tuesday. Extended weekend. I decided to take a trip because favourite forum members happened to be in Bangkok at same time. Purposely kept trip a surprise from my regular guy at Freshboys. I concocted an elaborate plan go surprise him because I wanted to see his reaction. The plan was other forum members go into Freshboys first. I will wait downstairs. They will get him to sit with them. They will then blindfold him. After getting signal from them, I will go inside, sit close to him, hold his hands, say his name and see his surprised face when he takes off the blindfold. Then we will hug and kiss. And everyone around us will be happy for us. Well, that was the plan. Who knew that at relatively early time in the night (10pm), my guy would be seated and drinking with a guy with bottle of whisky!!!!!!

Preparation are in full swing at 5 pm, see attached. Level noise already cancerogenic. Can immagine what it will be at 10 pm. By the way gayinpattaya once recommended chicken with cashew nuts by Sophia's Kitchen, opposite Dicks. I tried today and certainly one of best I ever tasted, even if bit on spicy side. I wonder where I can find that guy from "sex work is work " poster. Will be on the look for him tonight but not before I will host another hunk to check stamps newly aquire to my collection

Day 3 Breakfast at Zing is in my opinion very good value at 189 baht for quite extensive selection. At the moment they have even promotion, if you buy 3 times , 4th is free. Track is kept on card they gave me when I bought 1st one. One of massage guys from Jomtien Complex I engaged few times in the past probably spied me on Grindr or passing by with my friend through the Complex yesterday because out of blue he sent me a message this morning so I invited him for 1 pm to come and check how he likes my room. We did not bother with massage and it was kind of kissy-huggy reunion. For dinner I decided to try recommended by few Sophia’s Kitchen opposite Dick’s in the Complex and indeed their chicken with cashews is one of best I had ever. Complex is busy preparing for Pride Night tonight with 2 stages set up so my hope is that famous Max will grace that night with his presence at The Best Bar. Early evening as arranged yesterday my guy from Dreamboys showed up and today’s session was even better and hotter than last night to a degree that I forced additional 1000 baht on him upon learning that tomorrow he is going home for a few days. Hope to see him again whenever I will be in Pattaya. I need to find a way of hosting him overnight, good sign was that today he did not say no when I revealed my plans about future. I liked he did not promise anything but said he feel more comfortable with me now and will think about that. Okey, okey Well after dark I went to Supertown filled with expectation that my Maxhunt will materialize. Lots of people everywhere and truly festive atmosphere. I parked myself at The Beast Bar but no, there was no Max in sight. I was watching shows produced by every bat on the stage in front of The Venue but Max was missing when his bar was presenting their part. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow, also day when he normally performs there. My beer was brought to my table by very manly faced Lao twink so after few sips I offered him a drink. By time I decided to call night off I consumed two and he 4 bottles of Chang. Not sure who first suggested we go home together but certainly we had the same in mind so of we went. While I was disappointed with Max absence , at least I satiated another curiosity. In @Home bar I noticed muscular guy I stalk on Grindr who advertises he likes kissing. Had I noticed him earlier I’d try to engage hi but now it was too late and may be it was good after all. While passing by I gave him red note to signal my interest and reaction was somewhat strange, instead of expected smile, wai and thank you I got kind of grimace one sees when somebody almost steps on dead rat or dog’s poo on the pavement. But no, he did not give me note back so not being sure what I’m supposed to think I just kept walking with my guy in tow. On our way we met aussie_ from forum celebrating night with his friends. To hotel we went in style – both of us on the same motorsai, clearly twinks have advantages of not taking so much space. By his own admission he started his work in the bar only few weeks before so lack of experience was visible but was offset by clear willingness to do the best o earn his tip. Me and twink and happy with him ! End must be near. It was already dawning when he asked for permission to go home which was granted . after he left I slept quite well till quarter to 11 am. I barely made to the breakfast but I did it !!

Day 2 From today I’m on my original schedule and It was day of move to Pattaya. Hope was to catch a glimpse of half legendary dancer Max of The Best Bar who is supposed to perform there tomorrow and after tomorrow hence this part of trip I call Maxhunt. In the morning I messaged CB asking about absence last night. It turned out he was still at home but offered to come to Bangkok as soon as today if I let him to stay with me because he no longer has his room. I agreed but told him that I’m heading to Pattaya and advised him to come in 3 days. I had enough sense to secure some freedom and told him if I will bring another boy he must stay out of room for a period. He agreed and it looked we both are happy with that arrangement. I secured guy for Bangkok nights and was hoping that he utilize free accommodation to work at bar and get some more money during his 7 day visa validity. Breakfast at Foodland with reader from forum , we exchanged recent news and gossips , then I sorted my stuff in the room and left some goodies in deposit as I will be returning to the Raya. Then off to the airport to catch the bus. I had reservation made at home but low season showed, at 11.45 there were still tickets available for 12.00 noon. But bus departed full so I guess somebody got lucky at the last minute. Second time in row I opted to mid-way and stay in Zing hotel on main street , half way between Jomtien and Pattaya proper. What was even better , it was free as I had some miles expiring at end of month and decided to utilize them that way. Breakfast at 189 per person was to be paid separately. I dumped my stuff and went to Jomtien Complex to meet friend who used to post here as z909 few years ago, It was his last day so we talked about 1 hr and then parted ways. In the evening I went to Boyztown, first dinner in Bay View restaurant on Beach Rd then parked myself at Pikky over beer and watched goings in the soi. Sadly not much was going on. Only two freelance masseurs on duty, one of them I noticed gained some weight since I saw him last year. I saw boys from BBB going in but must say, only few impressed me to a degree. Mamasan Lek spotted me and beamed smile but this time I decided to continue boycott of that bar I once considered best in whole Thailand as 1050 off fee and stage filled with boys fully dressed coupled with smoking inside and deafening music is bot exactly what I like. At 10 p.m. I moved to Dreamboys , hoping at least one of two boys I met there last year will be there. And yes, sun shined on me, #37 was in the back of the stage . He was kind of confused at first why that old troll is smiling at him but after 5 seconds he beamed smile my way and I made gesture inviting him to sit beside. Not only he recalled me and hotel where we met 3 times but immediately asked ‘ where is your Asian friend in glasses “ ? clearly remembering I was with 18past19 then . Deal was sealed with disclaimer that I pick him up but after I see show in XBoys. Not sure who was first suggesting he may go with me to which I agreed and we crossed the soi and entered XBoys exactly in the moment of insertion in progressive part of 10 pm show. Speaking about timing ! We got seats in the first row in front on the scene and enjoyed what we saw. He told me he never saw that show and judging by his reactions he did not make it up. After main show finished with another progressive part included with the same bottom but different top, at midnight we took two motorsais and went to hotel to do our part of progressive life. Looking back , it was one of best moments of that trip. We agreed for repeat tomorrow after he finished his daytime job and before he will go to the bar.

I need to add that from Tawan we went to Jupiter where upon entry at 11.05p.m. We were treated to coveted seats right under the speaker which was blasting at 1. 5 capity plus something. Noting new there either but show, was well attended and, what I hate there, most of prime seats were reserved for better customers which I understand but still hate. Noting new includes fortunately fact that all guys were very good looking and they managed to add quite a few new bodies I did not see before. Common wisdom in bars is that if guy doesn't wear the number, he is already booked or not availble for an off. We'll it is not necessary correct as after show t was, at least for me quite clear that some non numbered guys are still looking expectantly at customers of both genders. No idea how it works but my advice will be if one has hots for them boy it's better not to trust bar liturgy but get that "no" or even better "yes" from either mamasan or as I would prefer, from boy himself.

In fact it was two European customers who ordered the bottle of whisky and they invited my guy and another popular guy in the bar to drink with them. Instead of standing below Freshboys and waiting for the all clear signal, I went to Midnight bar and said hello to the waiters. I bought drinks for two of them and we chatted. At 10.45pm, my spies informed me that my guy was "released" by customer and was standing on stage. I said goodbye to waiters at Midnight bar and went up to Freshboys. My guy was seated with favourite forum members. They had the good sense to quickly call him to sit with them before another customer takes him. He was happy to see me and we hugged. By then, he had figured out that I was in town. "How many days you in Bangkok?" I told him five nights but I only pay bar off first for tonight and tomorrow night (tentatively karaoke). I also told him I was there with my friends. We would stay until Freshboys closing at 1am. It was FB night for us. OK, he got changed and sat with me the rest of the night. There was a good crowd at Freshboys. Not packed until you can't squeeze a guy to sit next to you but almost all seats were taken by customers. I said hello to many of the guys. I gave cigarettes to the smokers whom I know personally. I also gave mamasan a bottle of perfume. She was in a happy mood the rest of the night. I tipped some of the big cock show guys. I also tipped a guy who sat with me awhile and I enjoyed his company but pf course he knew I would not off him. Everyone in the bar knows who was my regular guy. 25 guys worked at Freshboys tonight Thursday night. About 15 guys got offed. Left 10 guys remaining at 1 am. Business was good! My entourage went to Foodland for supper. Each of us had a guy. At about 1.45am, we said goodbye to each other.

Last night Wednesday visited Rainbow Dragon. If already reviewed excuse me for that. Its a pub style bar with good air con and a very pleasant atmosphere. Shirtless boys doing the service. Good dance type music. No idea what if any is off fee. As I arrived early around 8pm they seemed to be just opening and as mid week less custom. With 2 companions x 3 drinks came to about 600 baht. Nice tables facing the bar. Good location it deserves to succeed. Spent a few hours at the place and then went to Fresh Boys. We were the only customers! Having been at fresh boys at the previous Friday when it was full up shows that mid week tends to be very slow

I’ll add a bit about my recent experience in Tokyo. I booked an outcall with Reborn. He arrived a bit late, but I was informed of the delay about 30 minutes prior so no big deal. He arrived and looked exactly like the photos and was very hot, round ass with a big cock. He had a shower then we started with a massage, which was pretty poor. I cut that away as it was a waste of time and moved to the fun, which was almost as bad. There was zero chemistry between us and he put very little effort into creating some. He was very hot but it was a disappointing hour. A week later I tried again, booking an I call with Chances https://chance-shinjuku.jp, for a 90 minute incall with two guys. I also paid 4000¥ extra for “entanglement between boys” which turned out great! Booking took a little to get the two I wanted at a time I was available, but on the day they met me at the designated spot and took me up to a nearby room, we did introductions (one spoke good English, the other a little) and sorted the payment. I then showered with one while the other got the room set. When we came out we got straight into foreplay while the other showered. When he came out it was fantastic.i had both sucking me, one making out with me while the other sucked, they both kissed passionately with me and each other. Turns out they had not met before but were definitely attracted to each other. i had selected one top (Shinji, sexy guy, spoke English, big cock https://chance-shinjuku.jp/cast/shinji-2/) and one vers (Ryusei vers, little English, very sexy https://chance-shinjuku.jp/cast/ryusei/) and we did every combination possible:) I ended up finishing in the vers when the time was up. I didn’t push them to come as I figured they would want to save it-my mistake. The top asked me if I wanted him to fuck the other boy and come in him, of course I said yes:) I had a fantastic time with them both and I’m so glad the chemistry worked. 90 minutes absolutely flew by. It wasn’t a cheap adventure at 4200¥ but I’m so glad I did it. The website is great and gives a great indication of what the guys are happy to do. It made coming up with the combination half the fun (not really. It was fun, but nothing compared to having them in the flesh) i really enjoyed my time in Tokyo and had plenty of free encounters with some very sexy locals and tourists alike, but the chance to select two stunning twinks and have them do whatever I wanted was too good to pass up. I would absolutely do it again next time in Tokyo. I’ll even check to see if the same two are available:)

Last night was the best so far, though very understated. I took off, just to drink, a Cambodian man from Dream Boys who I know from the past. Some 18 months ago I took him to Pattaya and to Phnom Penh for 3 nights in each place. He had never been on a plane and never been to his capital city. Please do not tell the men that once I have had a few drinks, if they tell me they have never been on a plane, I am liable to say: 'let's go!' The two men I have done that with so far read every word of the safety card. It was nice to play pool with him but the night was about to get better. I popped in to Freshboys at 22.45 to see the men, who are briefly on stage around that time in an interval in the show. Then to Goodboys where I took off a Myanmar man for short time. He was so good at kissing that it was 10am before he left and he seemed pleased with his tip. It made me realise again that I can be completely happy with kissing and cuddling for ages and I should welcome this change rather than think I have to perform 'sex' every time. Both of us having an erection is reinforcing but I don't need an orgasm very often. This may seem odd to you younger ones but it's my reality now. I just arrived in Jomtien so I will be looking for men who like kissing.

Day 5 It didn’t start well. It was dawning when I woke up and noticed swollen lip- allergy , which is tormenting me this trip and also at home after return. Good thing I had a pill and took it, returned to bed but sensibly set alarm for 10 am. Zyrtec works as sleeping pill as well and I dd not want to miss breakfast , not to mention bus. Message on Line from CB, he already arrived in Bangkok this morning so I instructed him to wait fort me at 3 pm in the lobby of new Nishitetsu hotel by soi 4 as I decided to check it for one night. Indeed everything worked, 12 noon bus arrived at Swampy at 1.30and it was exactly 2.55 pm when I entered lobby. No CB in sight but I checked in, left them his name and asked them to hive him his own card and went up to the room. All fine, room new and shiny . I already posted some pictures of it in Hotels thread. https://www.gayguides.com/topic/68180-bkk-hotels-pros-cons/page/3/#comment-465959 Particularly impressive was safe fitting one of desk drawers. There’s no window in the room but there’ one in bathroom so there is way of seeing day from night. All in , I liked it and stay there two times- first and last. Reason is economical – for half price I have twice as big room in Raya with the same conveniences. But if you like new and shiny places – go for it by every mean. When in shower I heard door opening – CB arrived and promptly joined me in the shower. Some reunion gymnastics and we went to Foodland to eat something. While strolling around we met one of Moonlight boys and masseur from one of soi 6 shops who also works as go-go at Good Boys after hours. He was surprised to see me and promptly complained I did not tell him I’m coming. I told him “ I like that surprise smile on your face “ which is actually true.. We returned to hotel with me hoping for another round of reunion gymnastics but it seemed CB had other ideas like glue himself to his phone. We met many times and even travelled together but that was side of him I did not know. I guess whole 7 day only visa situation and resulting loss of earnings is stressing him immensely but while I understand it, not necessarily I must to like it. I told him frankly that if he wants to utilize fact that he has free accommodation with me this week he can go to work in bar to get some cash – it’s why, among other things I asked for his own kye card to the room so he can come and go freely. Some how he did not like that idea, asked instead if I will be hitting bars tonight and expressed desire to accompany me there, wherever I will be going. Today’s goal was clear – grand opening of Than Tawan in former The One and earlier Tawan location. Those are my impressions from Grand Opening I posted on the forum already in Patpong thread : “Yesterday I went to new Than Tawan to see their great opening in former The One and earlier , Tawan site. When we entered ( I went with boy at his urging ) only 2 other customers already but by time show started crowd swelled to respectable 12 including young Indian straight couple. To summarize new venue , it's just more of the same we knew from Tawan and The One. When we entered on stage two guys presented themselves, both not bad looking but first time I saw them was in Arena Bank in 2013. I'm kidding you not. So much about fresh blood on the market. Show itself usual blend of lip syncing and muscle flexing, nothing risky or compromising other than simulated BJ and big cock parade. And of course, performers solicit tip after circulating among audience. In short, it's still renamed Tawan or The One. No fresh blood and no fresh ideas. For this who liked all format it's sucessful resurrection. For those hoping for new kind of thrills, we'll look somewhere else. Final note - best looking was one of waiters, unfortunately uniformed all the time” After show, at 11 pm. Or so we went to Jupiter. And those are my impressions already posted : “we went to Jupiter where upon entry at 11.05p.m. We were treated to coveted seats right under the speaker which was blasting at 1. 5 capacity plus something. Noting new there either but show, was well attended and, what I hate there, most of prime seats were reserved for better customers which I understand but still hate.

No idea how it works but my advice will be if one has hots for them boy it's better not to trust bar liturgy but get that "no" or even better "yes" from either mamasan or as I would prefer, from boy himself. “ After those bar forays we went to Patpong night market fort banana pancakes and then final to the room for steamy gymnastics. It looks that at night CB has less desire to clutch his phone and can’t say a bad word about his performance but it clearly looks I will need to entertain him in day time and it’s not exactly what I was hoping for . But since I invited him I need to carry on hoping for the best.

SO, went to Python tonight, for the first time. In a few words...if you liked the old Fragata, this place is for you....end of story, lol The place is huge and nice, all the staff was friendly and amazing. The type of guys that Fragata had with a mix of Meio Mundo and Bangu. The only downside I experienced, was it was chilly outside 50F and it was just as chilly inside because there is a lot of open space and opened windows. They have A/C's for when it gets hot, but nothing for the cold, except hot bodies. They had 2 games of Bingo tonight, first at 9pm and second at 1030pm, there was like an intermission in between and then everyone that was left went back. The place was still pretty full when I left at midnight. I really liked the receptionist that spoke English and the attentive bar staff. I sat at a table with locals, I was the only gringo in the place but I knew many people from Lagoa and Fragata from sight or personally and they all said the same thing....they felt more welcomed here than Lagoa. Had a BLAST during Bingo..I won a soda/beer but no real prize (250 brl)..... there are so many places here, the main bar when you come in, a video room with sofas, a side area off the main bar, A pool (billiard) area in the back , some small areas downstairs and the Salon where Bingo is , also downstairs. My friend said the place was too big, like Lyon's in Rio was... but I disagreed, I think this place will be a success.... even Carlotta the guy that announced Bingo at Lagoa was there and many Lagoa customers. I didn't see any of the rooms, but I think someone posted pics previously of some along with the Presidential suite. My friend that I went with, left early, he's more of an introvert and likes to go, do business and leave...not much into socializing. I'll go back Sunday, but tomorrow for lunch am planning to meet a waiter from there that says he's NOT a GP, but wants to hook up....I'll wait for the sob story after we eat 🤷‍♂️ I REALLY enjoyed the night here and were about 5 guys I would've went with but had previous plans with a guy I've known from before that doesn't like Python because it's the type of place where guys go and are happy with 1 programa...Lagoa guys are looking for multiple programas a night, I can't blame them, however I know enough to be the last/only one of the night. The guy I went with is so good, I'll go with him every night that he's available if he wants. Let's see how lunch goes tomorrow and I'm planning a 3-way with the Lagoa guy tomorrow night and a return Sunday to Python since the Lagoa guy is busy, so will get a real taste of the Python....so to speak.

Short report, as only in Bangkok 2 days. Had hoped to meet the illustrious vinapu, but on the only available evening, he had a succession of stamp collectors! It's certainly low season, noticeably fewer tourists. I did a quick tour of Patpong 2. Host bar Dragon & Koi still going, attractive boys, few customers, this was Saturday night. Goodboy very disappointing. Quite busy, but boys doing show were poor, older, unattractive, to me at least, not hunks, just dull, poor bodies, going through motions, sucking with condom. I left after 15 mins. Freshboys better, almost full, mixed audience. Show somewhat higher standard of boys, though not top class. Usual banging of pole, etc. Lots of cocks and latex! When it was line up time, though, good selection of attractive boys, more twinkish, half a dozen of them were offed while I was there. I always think these places are too cold to be comfortable! Music bearable. I had met my regular Vietnamese guy for my sex adventures, met on Grindr/Screwboys, he brought a new Thai guy, who was very enthusiastic, in every way! I repeated the dose, but without the Thai guy. Note, no issue at Meridien re entry. Didn't try Atlas or similar, not my type. Half a dozen offers from twinks on Grindr.

Yesterday Sunday 22nd I went to new Than Tawan to see their great opening in former The One and earlier , Tawan site. Whe we entered ( I went with boy at his urging ) only 2 other customers already but by time show started crowd swelled to respectable 12 including young Indian straight couple. To summarize new venue , it's just more of the same we k ew from Tawan and The One. When we entered on stage two guys presented themselves, both not badvlooking but first time I saw them was in Arena Bank in 2013. I'm kidding you not. So much about fresh blood on the market. Show itself usual blend of lip syncing and muscle flexing, nothing risky or compromising other than simulated BJ and big cock parade. And of course, performes solicit tip after circulating among audience. In short, it's still renamed Tawan or The One. No fresh blood and no fresh ideas. For this who liked all format it's sucessfull resurrection. For those hoping for new kind of thrills, we'll look somewhere else. Final note - best looking was one of waiters, unfortunately uniformed all the time.

Few more pics

I have taken men away a few times. It can be fun, though expensive, as I usually pay them 4000bt a day, and the bar wants the off fee, plus travel and expenses. I once brought 2 men to Pattaya but ended that after one of them ordered a 6500bt lunch for three of us while I was at the atm. A happier memory is taking two young Vietnamese men from Bangkok to Pattaya for one night and their smiles as the taxi accelerated on the highway and they realised they really were going to the seaside.

Day 4 Lazy morning at swimming pool. Afternoon coffee with forum members. After coffee, I stepped into soi 4 to go to new disco Horn owned by owners of Beef. They had recently started disco on Sunday afternoon 4pm onwards. Day time discos are a new trend in other countries. Being curious, I stepped into Horn at 5pm. Farang woman at DJ console. One other customer inside throughout my time there the next one hour. 300 baht entry paid at front entrance for one drink. Other than the non existent crowd, it was an enjoyable way to pass the time. The lady DJ was pretty good with her song choices and she was enjoying her job despite the empty dance room. As I had dinner appointment, I had to leave at 6pm. I walked to her DJ console and passed her 200 baht in tips. She was so surprised! Probably not often that she got tipped for doing her job. And she did a pretty good job! I went back to Bandara Suites and my guy was waiting for me at lobby after he finished work. We went up to the room for a while then we went to The Commons just next door which had food from different countries. I decided on Singapore chicken rice for us. "Is it very different from Thailand chicken rice?" I asked him as he took the first few bites on his plate. I knew that he likes to eat chicken rice. He said Singapore chicken rice was slightly different from Thai chicken rice but he likes it! After dinner, we walked back to Bandara Suites to take complimentary tuk tuk to Patpong. It doesn't actually stop at Patpong. Because the route loops around Sala Daeng, it goes to Silom Complex and then onto Silom Road before it turns left at Soi Convent then back to hotel. Our driver doesn't stop at Silom Complex as was the usual practice. He stopped outside Park Silom and we crossed Silom Road to go to Patpong. My guy reported to his bar for the next two hours but he knew I would be paying his off fee for tonight and tomorrow night. I didn't want him to tag along with me while I visited other bars and renew acquaintances with old friends. We both predicted that he would not be offed by a customer within the two hours in his bar. But we could be wrong. I enjoyed the short period of freedom I had tonight. I sat and chatted with waiters at Midnight bar. I saw the guys from Atlas bar when they came out for breaks. I noticed 3 guys in particular. These 3 were not as big as the others. But they were tall, had very nice proportions, stylish hair and they looked younger than the other guys inside! I was right about their appeal. Half an hour after I first saw them, I saw a customer walk out of Atlas with 2 of the 3 guys. They walked across the soi and made their way to Good Boy bar. Whether customer took them back to hotel or was content to enjoy their company in another bar, I did not know. At 11.30pm I walked into Freshboys. The guys were all standing on stage waiting for 3rd show to start. Decent crowd but not as full as Friday night. I sat down and saw my guy seated with a group of Asian male and female customers! Mamasan saw me and welcomed me to a seat. I chatted with her. 30 guys working tonight. I had half a bottle of Johnnie Walker left and I asked waiter to bring it out. I continued chatting with mamasan and then turned my head to look at the guys standing on stage. Lo and behold! My guy was standing there! Wasn't he at the table with customers? I laughed aloud in surprise. I called him down to my table then told mamasan. "Tonight and tomorrow night. Two nights" I showed her two fingers on my hand. I found out that the lady customer whom he had been sitting with is a Taiwanese tour guide. The 5 other Asian male customers are China tourists and she was showing them around. My guy and lady tour guide know each other and she always buys him a drink when she visits the bar. They had been casually chatting while waiting for my arrival. For the rest of the night, the 5 Chinese tourists invited guys to sit and drink with them while they watched the show. But they didn't off anyone. Ditto for most customers in bar. Close to closing time, there were about 25 guys standing on stage which means only 5 guys got offed. I managed to finish my bottle of Johnnie Walker. I had invited 3 other guys to join my guy and me. Mamasan also joined in as well. I left bar just before closing time. Same supper routine as previous nights. Foodland was venue but our group was smaller now. Only one forum member joined us. But still enjoyable to catch up on day's activities. By 1.45am, my guy and I were back in hotel room. End of Day 4.

After playing for close to 3 hours, we ended this informal pool competition with my guy coming in 3rd out of 4 players. He didn't say anything about the pool table. All he said was that it was not his lucky day! As sponsor of competition, I gave away the prizes - 1200 baht for 1st place, 1000 baht for 2nd place, 800 baht for 3rd place and 500 baht for 4th place. It was off to Foodland for supper and then back to hotel. End of Day 2.

My last few nights in Bangkok I wasn't feeling 100% so I didn't take anyone back to the hotel. But at the end of a trip I always have a mental list of which men have treated me right and deserve an off or a bigger than usual tip. I took the Myanmar man, who is good at kissing, out from Good Boys (GB) to see Dreamboys, which he hadn't been to before, and he seemed to like that. He was surprised the hotel wasn't on my agenda afterwards. I know taking the men to another go go bar can be boring if they have been around for a while but can be ok if it's new to them. One of my favourite Vietnamese men in GB had asked me to take him again to the 'dance place' (Silom Soi 2) so I took him and his cousin, who hadn't been there before. On Sunday night it was quieter than I expected but I prefer that to it being jammo these days. If anyone is new to that Soi customers do need a passport, either on their phone or real to prove their age - over 20 last time I checked. Even I was checked the first time I went and I was 59 but they seem to know me now. And I never went, in this trip, to Silom Soi 4, or Hotmale or Jupiter or Banana. But I have been to all of those multiple times before and they're all worth a look. On Tuesday my flight from BKK to DOH was at 21.05. At 17.00 the rain was heavy so I ordered a Bolt taxi, not wanting to stand on Surawong getting drenched while trying to flag down a cab. Bolt arrived about 17.25 but Bangkok was traffic locked down at rush hour in the storm and it took 2 hours to get to BKK. Starting early was the right decision. BKK is a good airport and I was in the lounge in the new terminal with a farewell red wine in 40 minutes. Again using the e-gate so no exit stamp. Goodbye BKK for about the 56th time in 14 years.

Yesterday it was Dreamboys anf then at insistence of guy I offed from there, Jupiter. Very slow night in both bars. I'd say staff outnumbered guests in both. Novelty was quite big, 7 or 8 strong, pack of Indian tourists in Dreamboys. Not long ago almost impossible to see them I bars, now almost everywhere. In Jupiter it resulted in choice seats in front of stage. Rare treat there if you are not regular. And I caught few smiles from boys, some directed at me. Shock! Guy I offed from Dreamboys and who wanted to see Jupiter show got mistaken as Jupiter own staff and upon leaving they charged me off fee!!!!. It took some comotion to sort things out. So watch out what appears in your check bin. As usual boys very attractive.

In a bar a few nights ago I had just bought a Lao man, who I've known for years, a drink when the police arrived and arrested all the foreign workers, about 5 of 7 staff. I'm not saying where as talking about a business losing most of the staff might count as a negative review. That would be defamation and breaking the computer crimes act, as one guy found when he posted a negative review of a Thai hotel, the hotel complained and he spent 2 nights in prison. The hotel dropped the charges or it would have been more. The police took a photo of my bill where I'd bought the man a drink. Happily I was not arrested for conspiring to cause a Lao man to work but there's time yet, if going to bed together is work. The man has not replied to my message so it's not looking good. I haven't much to report, otherwise. I have seen some money boys, been stood up by one MB twice (1. sleeping 2. working; am I crazy for giving them a second chance? Yes.), seen old friends, played pool, watched the show at Best Bar and Gus Bar, noted that the chairs and umbrellas on Dongtan beach are closed on Wednesdays and enjoyed meals at the Pirate Cafe and Cheap Charlies.

What two years? It was 20 years. And, when you have kids and a family, money is eaten away fast. Esp. if someone else is controlling that money. I am not defending not saving cash. I am just saying, often not easy.

I just returned from Thailand and yes, it looks that because of 7 day visa a lot of Khmer guys left and now they are pondering their options. Since recent spat between two countries seems to be sourced in internal politics rather than real border dispute serving only as haze and smoke , chances are situation will return to normal in few months. A lot doesn't mean all , as quite a few are still soldering on. I visited all Bangkok bars bar Hot Male as well as Best Bar, Dreamboys and XBoys in Pattaya and everywhere situation was the same - numbers of boys on the stage was higher than number of patrons in the bar at the time so I wouldn't worry about price inflation.

People get ready to take part in the 'Love Pride Parade', under the theme “Spectrum Forward: Power of Creation”, in Bangkok, Thailand on 29th June, 2025. The 6 kilometer parade from Suphachalasai National Stadium to Benchasiri Park was delayed by heavy rain. I don't even know if it went ahead as it was still raining when I left.

Last night Boyztown main soi depressingly sparsely populated between 9 an 10 pm. Only 2 freelancers massage guys on display. Spotted two quite attractive guys entering BBB but did not check how they look on the stage. Since off fee is 1050 there and boys are fully dressed I boycott that bar. Moved to other soi, Dreamboys had bout dozen guys on the stage, barechested but in jeans. 6 or 7 customers. Since one of boys was exactly one I hoped to see I did not waste any time securing him. We moved across to see the show at XBoys and entered in best of moments. Ahem part of show was about to start. Full house there and reminded so till we left at minight. Show very progressive and tons of flesh on display. Quite a few very atractive, at least for me. I kind of know who will be my offing choice next time I'm there, lol.

Low season shows. Soi 4 quite quiet between 9 and 10. Lots of empty tables, at G's. I took shot peek at Atlas arrond 10, very few customers. From there Moonlight. I was customer #6 . When show started at 10.30 grand total 12 customers. 10 models, Mean returned but Babe not present. New guy Joey with broa smile quite impressive. About 8 floor boys but regretfully none of two I was hoping to see. At least 3 boys offed including both Lao brothers and guy taken by one who took over Vinapu's account.

So your assignment for today is to try to bring a boy into your room... And to report back about this in this forum.

Finally, the day arrived. Yesterday was the last day of schools in the network that employs me, and I had my retirement ceremony. My last day is July 3rd. My condo is in the market, as soon as it is sold and all the paperwork done, I am flying away. I will keep working part-time but only online. The first step is Buenos Aires. I think I will end my days over there, so I want to set my health insurance but not yet my base. Once my health is checked and covered, I will start slow traveling. My visits to Brazil and Colombia have been always no more Tham two weeks, and I want to get that feeling of coitus interruptus out of my system. I may start my travels with a couple of months in Brazil (Rio and Fortaleza or Salvador) and then Colombia (Medellin & Cartagena). Then I will return to Argentina to spend holidays with family and friends. After that, I do not know yet. I hope to meet some of you somewhere around the world, but my heart (and most of my time) will always be in South America.

It rained on and off on Saturday. No sun at all so definitely not going to hotel swimming pool. While my guy was at work, I was lazing in room. In the morning, I went to 7/11 to buy cooking oil, salt, sauce, sausages and eggs. My guy was going to cook dinner for me after his work ended. Unfortunately, there were no fresh vegetables at this 7/11. At noon, I went for lunch and met forum members at Foodland and later Starbucks to chit chat. We were together a few hours because at one stage it was raining heavily were stuck indoors. At 4.30pm, I had to go to Foodland supermarket to buy fresh vegetables. I also got marinated black pepper chicken meat. On my way back, I bumped into an old friend on his way to his work as a waiter on soi 4. We said hi and were happy to bump into each other. My regular guy knows him as they both started in same bar in soi Twilight years again. I tell myself I must go to soi 4 to meet him and give him a tip. I returned to hotel room. At 6.30pm, my guy arrived. He took a look at what I had bought and went about to prepare dinner for us. "No chilli?" he asked. Oops, I forgot! But it was alright. My guy set about making his own sauce. Half an hour later, dinner was ready. Bon appetite!

The stable at 27 M massage continues to be very impressive. I mean they are nearly all strait boys, but for most of them, I would happily pay just to kiss them and suck them off.

I have described most of my firsts in other posts and so will not waste others' time repeating them here. Like many who had been sent to a boarding school when quite young, I quickly learned about mutual masturbation and other boyish activities by the time I was 10. Not being able to cum even though having an orgasm was a major concern when others were spraying so much. But then soon all that changed. I had crush after crush when I moved to a day school aged 12. But I was too nervous to do anything about them. Eventually along with my next door friend, my age and at the same school, experimented a bit, but it was really only for mutual release. Real love (at least that is how it felt) came into the equation in my second year at university. For almost a year I lusted after one boy/young man not realising that he was also lusting after me. One day in a quiet college room we finally realised this. He was staying in one of the halls of residence where we arranged to meet the following afternoon. That felt like sparks of magic were happening! For a while we were inseparable. But then he had to move away and ever so slowly those sparks lost their brightness. But others appeared! I remain happy that I remain in contact with that first love of my life. Every year when I return to the UK for a couple of weeks, we meet up for a lunch that ends up far too drunken for us to remember much afterwards. But they are happy occasions. Rarely do we ever talk about our university years. But we remember them.

I had massage with Summer. He is really great. I can only highly recommend him 😉. He is from Myanmar. Great body and… Delivers more than promised 🤩.

my first bar was Up To You where Take -a Nap hostel later was on Rama IV. I recall place fondly as mamasan seeing I'm new to the scene took charge , told me : ' take this boy, he will know where short rooms are " and it's how all started. Saying that I must say still I'm more interested in my next trip than 39 past ones.

I was in Toolbox Bar in Phnom Penh over the weekend. Normally there are nine staffers in the bar but was surprised to see over 20 boys there on Saturday and Sunday night. I talked to a few of the new faces and they said they've returned from Thailand because of all the turmoil between the two countries. Also was told that the Khmer boys can now only get a seven-day visa for Thailand which doesn't make it economically viable for the boys. They figured most Khmer boys will leave Thailand soon and doubted if they would be returning any time soon, if at all. How are the bars in Bangkok and Pattaya doing? Is the void being filled by Thai, Laos or Burmese boys?

So much of the main stream coverage is censored like old Japanese porn movies, but all is revealed in this link. This guy also has a future on Only Fans, if he wants..... https://www.facebook.com/FentuoTahiruFentuo/videos/1851723622350281

Monsoon. I come from a country where tipping is not required. However, when I am in Thailand I always tip the porters when they carry my luggage and I leave a tip in the room for the cleaning staff when checking out. I also will often leave a tip for the waiting staff when paying for a meal at a restaurant These people don't get paid well. I can afford 20 baht here and 50 baht there, and I do believe that the recipients are grateful.

Unfortunately I think the new higher pricing ($70-ish USD per hour) is here to stay because in the smaller cities or rural areas of Mexico $700 pesos/hr ($35USD) seems to be the norm now with a range of $500-$900 pesos ($25-$45USD). Of course bigger cities will command higher prices (CDMX, Tijuana, Cancun, Guadalajara, etc). I think a lot of it has to do with the improving economic situation for regular Mexicans due to the reforms of the Morena party which creates inflationary economic pressures. The minimum wage has more than doubled in Mexico from 2020 to 2024 (from $120mxn/day to $250mxn/day) and low and behold, escort pricing is on par with that and has also doubled. But despite the higher prices, I love Mexican men. They don't get a lot of love on these forums, but I have tasted every type of man around the globe, and no one comes close to the vibes, good feelings, and people pleasing that Mexican escorts bring. Sure they generally don't have the drop-dead gorgeous and muscular looks of a Brazilian garoto, but Mexican men aim to please and party. Generally speaking, I think men from LATAM have a zest for life that you can't find anywhere else, and no one does it better than Mexicans. They are "atrevidos" which translates to bold, cheeky, and persistent. I've had many a meeting with an escort in Mexico where the clock is of no importance and we can kick back and enjoy our company without time pressures. No request is too large or too small because Mexican culture places heavy emphasis on community, hospitality, and social gatherings. If you meet the Mexican escort's good vibes, playfulness, and zeal, you'll have a tremendous time.

I had another date with Sakaki this past Friday. This time I had him come to my Airbnb. I think it is so much better than the rooms they offer. And it’s cheaper. For 100 minutes, the rate was 14,000 yen, plus 1,000 for travel, plus 1,000 gai-jin surcharge. I don’t really understand that part (non-Japanese residents pay 1,000 extra), but I wasn’t going to argue over 1,000 yen. I really wanted to see him again and once we got the address situation settled, I really didn’t want any more back and forth. I went downstairs and stood outside to look for him in case he had a hard time finding my place. He arrived shortly after 2, out of breath, carrying four bottles - some tea and water for me. I don’t know if this is his initiative or was Re:Born provides, but it’s so sweet. I had water and tea for him. He insisted I take what he brought. I thought he’d be happier to see me because, I mean, he did tell me he loved me several times, but I think he was flustered because he was a little late and it was very hot. We came upstairs and I let him shower while I waited seductively on the bed He came out fully naked and paraded around a bit, showing off his perfect body and cute little ass, which is even cuter because he has this perfect tan line from a VERY small speedo. He came over to the bed with a jar of cream and said, “massage”. I was a little confused. The last time I saw him, I arrived late and flustered and really wanted a massage and he immediately started kissing me and we got right down to sex. Maybe he thought I paid for the escort course last time? This time I made it clear I wanted the massage course. I told him to just come and cuddle. Well, cuddling didn’t last long. One thing led to another and he got this bottom daddy to somehow be a top. I think he is more of a bottom than he is a top and he is definitely fuckable. It seems the two things he enjoys the most are getting fucked and face fucking. We also kissed a lot. After we both came, we spent the rest of our time cuddling, kissing, cuddling and spooning. I think we both even dozed off a bit. It was really delightful. It’s too bad his photos on the website really don’t reflect how adorable he is. I highly recommend him. I told him I’d see him again next Friday before I leave. He will be the last and probably only guy I’ll hire before I return to whatever is left of my country. I’m going to miss it here. Between the saunas, a few guys from Grindr, and the few guys I’ve hired, I have had a so much fun. If you decide to use Re:Born, I recommend hosting if possible. If you use their facilities the club room is better than the gym room. I don’t know about the fancy room in Shinjuku (I forget what it’s called) - it’s 3,000 extra. Their prices are better than the Monster cock agency and Gym K. They don’t have as big a selection as some of the other agencies, but Sakaki has satisfied me fully every time. I feel like I got a full boyfriend experience with him.

I'm in Pattaya now ad when I see faces of older guys killing their time in bars I'm not so sure picture above universally applies. On another hand whe I look in the mirror I definitely see happy man, even if gray and wrinkled

Japan Report I had fun a several places in Osaka and Tokyo. Osaka Urisen-next.com. Some have said there boys are younger, will most of these place just have younger. Was doing this one on short notice, so picked a boy that would meet my need and looked good. Reservation was done with email, prompt replies. At the appointed time the Manager met me out side a subway station entrance. I had to wait about 5 minutes. On to the apartment, pair the fee, boy came into room, looked like his pic. Then preceded to the shower and mouthwash routine. All was going good. Went back to the bed, some light kissing, and then it went downhill from there. I went down to suck his cock, which got hard. As I suck him, he places his arm over his face. I brought up cock up to his face, hoping he would suck me, but NO he shakes his head. I had paid for 90 minutes, left after 45. Certainly did not get what I paid for. I am a white older guy, 69, in excellent shape. Kid may have ben new, but that’s no excuse. S Danshi Gakduen - Osaka Reservation by email, very prompt responses. Worked with me on time and place. Seems that they have more than one place in Osaka. Just have to walk 5 minutes from hotel. They have a specific place, give you the address and you just knock on the door. (Much better than waiting for some unknown person to pick you up). One guy comes in collects your payments and says the boy will be in shortly. The boy I had picked was one I had been wanting, I think I got lucky reserving him. He comes in, looks so cute, butter than pics. Shower is down the hall, he call on the phone to make sure its clear and me go shower. Did the usual routine, shower was fun. Now back to the room. OMG this guy was so hot in bed. We kissed, sucked, 69, he put a condom on me and sat on my cock. I continued to fuck in a couple positions. The kissed a kissed a bit more, and then put on a condom. To start I rode him and then he moved behind me. And finally missionary, he jacked me off as she fucked me. Then we cuddled more and he jacked off til me came on my face.d It was great sex. I mean GREAT. AS I walked back to the hotel I was just thinking WOW that was awesome. Konpira Onsen Very much is out of the way. But doable. This is a guys only onsen. To be honest here, it’s a gay bathhouse. When I got there, there was a line, they only have so many clothes lockers, The Gal in charged did a great job keeping people in order. Was an interesting place But as the only white guy there, wasn’t a lot of fun. The Japanese stuck to their own. I was able to play a little by being a third, then didn’t turn me away. I probably wouldn’t go back thou. Spa World This a very nice place, it’s huge, Very Family oriented. Great place to relax, well at least till they start up on the renovation construction, Noise. So many have stated this is a great cruise place. NOT from what I observed. This is NOT a sex place There are lots of father with their boys here. This is a place to take a break and relax Well worth the visit. On to Tokyo LaQua Spa Went here before going to to baseball game. Was just a nice way to spend some time before the dame. Lots of eye candy Danshi Gaudken Tokyo I started the reservation with email, but they required me to use line for confirmation. This was a little bit of a hassle since I was at a baseball game and didn’t hive Line on my phone, but it all worked out. Tried to book the boy from DG Osaka again, he had shifted stored. But they said he was not available. So on to second choice His profile checked all the boxes I liked They also have an address you go to, and knock on the door, then they take you to the room. Where they take your payment, I used cash, he leave and come back with a clipboard that has check boxes, You check what you want to do with the boy and what you want him to do to you. Great idea as communication is sometimes a problem Boy came in looked like his pics, the usually shower across the hall again. Then to the bedroom , he was great in bed. We madeout, sucked , 69, I fucked him, he fucked me. Then he sucked me off and I came in his mouth. I then sucked him till he came in my mouth. Thermai_yu - Shinjuku Big onsen lots of guys, good eye candy. Mostly Japanese, I think there were 3 other foreigners besides me. I dint really see any cruise activity here either. But again Japanese stick to Japanese mostly 24 Kiakan - Shinjuku Well this is a gay bathhouse, A few foreigners when I went. Usually I had to initiate the contact. I had a good time It was crowded, which was nice. Thoughts If the 2 guys I had at DG are typical, that is the place to use. As an older guy, I couldn’t go to some of the Cruise Clubs, but that’s ok. I went to a few gay bars in Shinjuku , wasn’t really impressed But that is because where I live gay bars are huge and plentiful BUT is you go to Kyoto go to FrenZ FrenZY Rainbow Haven. Great bar, great vibe, karaoke

In the morning, we woke up and we had one last round of sex before we had to say goodbye. I checked out of hotel and took the first complimentary tuk tuk at 8am out. I got the 84 baht breakfast at Foodland then took airport train to airport. Short trip but full of memorable moments spent with wonderful guys and forum members. I will be back in December for Christmas! But don't be surprised if there's a weekend trip in one of the months between June to December!

Um, back on topic. I'm thinking of taking on a few days in Tunis next year off of a Euro trip. Flights looks reasonable from parts of Europe. I swear, if it wasn't for @alexch unofficially acting as the head of the Gay Tunis Tourist Board, I wouldn't even have this place on my radar. So many nations get zero attention on this website. Only so many times we can read about Thailand, Brazil, Columbia, and Spain. I thank Alexch for giving the Africa forum some love. Now, military men? Sign me up, lol.

Day 4 Starting day at 11 am seemed bit weird to me but what the heck, I’m on vacation anyways. Today forced expulsion from hotel. We were informed 2 days ago that it will not be electricity in hotel today between 3 and 6 pm. So I decided to spend afternoon in Pattaya – Night Market, foot massage and pedicure, just to kill time, Then to Jomtien bus station to buy ticket to Bangkok for to tomorrow and from there to Complex for dinner of chicken with cashew nuts at Sophia’s . There were 4 dinners at the time there and three of us had the same dish , including myself. It was almost 7 when I arrived to hotel, power was back ! After few hours of rest and sprucing up I returned to Jomtien Complex hoping that Max hunt will materialize tonight. I parked myself over Chang at the Best Bar , noticed preparation to show outside but no sight of Max tonight either, Yesterday’s guy joined me for a beer and then another round. We watched show together but discouraged by failure of my hunting mission I decided not to off anybody tonight. Show was entirely lip syncing by various ladyboys, not really my thing but still quite enjoyable because of selection of their hits about half of them I know lyrics off and signed along , impressing my guy quite a lot! Of course tipped him for his time and past midnight actually walked to hotel. After sitting whole evening I felt like I could use some exercise. So Maxhunt was failure but thanks to Dreamboy guy from first 2 days I think I liked Pattaya part of trip better than Bangkok one .

I wasn't too sure about sharing this but here goes, everyone has their series of firsts so here's mine (as boring as it is) A series of firsts: First inkling of an interest in m2m sex: I had never even had a single thought on m2m sex until I was 17yo (a horned up 17yo at that) and pleasuring myself whilst looking at a porno catalogue. I got to the gay pages at the back and had an amazing climax looking at 2 guys having a 69. That one episode had planted the seed in my mind and it stuck there. First m2m sexual contact: I was 41 (yes it took that long to get up the courage to try it) and on holiday in Phuket, after many years and thoughts about what it would be like I finally had the courage to cut the cake, the massage was good and when it was done he offered me a bj which I finally said yes too. It was the best climax I had ever had and was convinced I liked the m2m contact and every trip to Thailand after that I have indulged in it. First m2m kiss: now kissing another guy had never been a turn on to me at all until one night in Phuket (where else), a rather gorgeous twink was giving me a massage and he started kissing me and I must admit he was one of if not the best kisser I had ever encountered. From that point on I rather like and expect kissing when with another guy, especially when in Thailand. First time sucking: first time I sucked a cock was at Bonny massage (soi Twilight) and was very much a new and enjoyable experience, there have been many more episodes since then. First bottoming: was actually a ladyboy, he/she introduced me to something new and it was something I liked very much. Thankfully he/she took it gentle to start with which to me added to the pleasure of the experience, the cock was long and thin. First big cock: Adonis massage and WOW, when he stepped out of the shower and slipped his towel off I was amazed at the size and wondered what it would be like to tackle it (and a fair bit scary looking at the size) I didn’t have to wonder for too long and he certainly new just how to drive it too. First 3way: this was at Nine Spa over Sukhumvit way with a 4 hands massage, since then I have enjoyed many enjoyable 3ways at massage shops, only one disappointing 3way experience has happened but it’s to be expected that not all encounters will be perfect. At this age I am still experiencing new things and the massage boys in Bangkok for the most part have been very good teachers / partners, the very best time was at Senso in 2018 when 2hrs of massage turned into 2hrs of delightful bliss😊 Maybe one day I’ll get into the bar scene but for now the massage boys in Bangkok will keep me very happy, hopefully Nov / Dec will be a new episode 😊

I read this story not as a man failing to update his will, as oversight, but of a man wilfully not caring what happened to his partner and dependents when he was gone. It was twenty years ffs. What person doesn't think occasionally about his own mortality over that period and wonder what will happen to his dependents after he is gone. He wasn't even leaving the money to family or anyone else. How I can best help my partner in this situation is a matter of my recurring thoughts! I find it hard to believe that at some point there wasn't a conversation between the two of them about the future, in which the deceased would have reassured his partner.....

One way they remember me at Silom Soi 2 (dj station) is that, some years ago, I slipped on a greasy slope there, smashed the beer bottle on the floor and needed stitches. Four staff were immediately on the case, fetching plasters to try, stemming the wound, finding staff member with motorbike. Four minutes later I was in Chulalongkorn Hospital A&E with 2 women pouring water on the wound. A young doctor arrives to see me. An anaesthetic injection in my thumb and some stitches later - 1500bt.

I'll bet they live there.... a wise man once said, If you live in Thailand, you can't look forward to visiting Thailand..... living vs visiting are 2 different experiences and it shows on their faces. I just came back from a month in Brasil.... My friend from NYC recently retired there and was trying to convince me to go live there, with the weak Real, real estate is a value. So I looked at my time there thru a different lens, if I lived there. I did in 2004 but I knew it was a short time thing and I was renting, this time I came to the conclusion of the wise man, visiting is more fun than living there.... I feel more at home in Mexico.

I know the Aurora can now be seen in quite a number of countries at certain times of year and certain weather conditions. Back in 2014 it seemed the only guaranteed location was northern Scandinavia, a part of the world I knew little about. So I planned a 10 day trip to Norway, Sweden and Finland in late November, both to see lots of sights but particularly the Aurora. I started off in the lovely city of Bergen I was here for just one day before an evening boarding the daily ferry service that runs up and down the Norwegian coast. I spent 4 days on the ferry visiting a lot of coastal towns and with wonderful scenery in the fjords But it was cloudy every day and so no Northern Lights. I got off past the Arctic Circle at the lovely town of Tromso. This was my little hotel Overnight it had snowed and the town was almost obliterated in white From Tromso I flew in a rather roundabout way to the town of Ivalo beyond the Arctic Circle in Finland. I was staying at a lovely little lodge about 40 kms away and virtually miles from anywhere, although it was close to the Russian border. On my first night there were only two other guests - a couple from Hong Kong! This was the lodge at night With the sun being so low in the sky, walking around there were wondeful views. And the sunsets were spectacular There for four nights, the cloudy weather continued and there was little chance of seeing any sign of the Aurora, apart from a hint of it on the first night. But on the final day when I had almost given up hope the sun came out into an almost cloudless sky. We were told by the lodge staff we would definitely have a light show that night. Parked on a frozen lake in -25 degrees C tripods at the ready, I waited with a young Irish couple. Then around 10:30pm what we had all come to see started - a spectacular light show that was to last almost two and a half hours. I had read all about having to adjust ASA settings and the time for exposures, but when I looked at the photos on my camera screen they seemed not to work well. So I abandoned the advice and just busked it. I had to return to Bangkok through Stockholm which is a lovely city. If you visit, you have to go to the Vasa Museum. The warship Vasa sank on her maiden voyage in 1628. It was salvaged in 1961 and moved to its permanent Museum in 1988. It's absolutely stunning and has been seen by over 45 million visitors. And of course you might see a troll or two! Like my trip to South America, this was purely for sightseeing. I was in too many places to consider checking any of the apps or finding a gay pub. And the staff on the ship all seemed to be almost as old as me!! I thoroughly recommend a similar trip, although I'd probably start from Oslo with what seems to be an amazing train trip to Bergen.
