Day 14, time to say good bye
Another Bangkok morning welcomed alone but at least in well warmed bed after meeting with Mekhin.
Natra Silom breakfasts are super economy affairs ( tea/ coffee , fruit , toast , jam , cereal with milk ) so usually I go first to Foodland Patpong for their a little bit more substantial offering with two fired eggs and a slice of ham instead of bowl of cereal above. Nothing sumptuous but I find it filling enough , sometimes I fortify it with say fruit and coffee at Nantra upon return.
In the morning I had chores, to buy some cheap bag for carry-on and to repair my glasses frame which broke yesterday so allowed myself pleasure of wandering through Silom market in soi 10 and then one across the Silom . Then found Charoen Optical close to soi Sala Daeng where it turned out I need to replace frame. Easy but for few hours I was a bit blind without glasses, good enough for aimless wandering on both sides of Silom with some time spent in the internet café.
Regaining my vision I head to Lumpini for my last stroll there, no familiar faces at the gym bar one Tawan / or former Tawan because I did not see him there this time / man who is regular there.
Usually first half of my last day in Bangkok is do nothing exercise and this time was not different but I remembered that at 5 p.m. I have an appointment with Namu at Bangkok Massage and was there on the dot to his amazement.
We took shower together as always there but forget about massage as we always have our own way of having fun without wasting oil on my skin. As always there I extracted couple hugs from boys I had massage in the past ,
Lek was actually in the shower in all his glory and Kai I managed to catch on the corridor. 100 baht each as always, what is funny I don’t do this in another places but there it is my way of appreciation of their friendliness. ( Attention firecat69 – Kai is the boy we both liked look of when we were sitting at Maxi’s across back in Dec 2014 assessing their boys).
Upon return to hotel I parked myself in the lobby but not for long as Tao arrived as promised exactly at 7 p.m. His massage is the best of them all and I can’t imagine not having it with him at least once every trip. He used to work at Banana Club but now is at BBB Inn. He told me he will be charged 500 for leaving work but I had money for him already ready since he is one of those boys I actually tip up front.
After 2 hours of mutilation I invited him for a dinner at Oasis to have my last chance to taste their excellent you guess what. Then we returned to the room for another round of getting intimate since he is not only perfect masseur but also skilled in other tasks and on top of it handsome man of very gentle personality. In short perfect to be first and perfect to be last on every Thai trip.
At 11 p.m. we kissed each other good bye, in several minutes I was packed up and ready to go. BTS to Phaya Thai, train to the airport , smooth departure procedures and this time no money left for last minute shopping and no coins left to leave with cleaner. For 15th time I kissed Thailand good bye.
Lots of time for trip reflections flying through the half of globe and 42 centigrades temperature difference between Bangkok and home LOL.
This trip was different than my last few but similar to previous ones in that I combined Thailand with other country in the region.
As much as I adore boy chasing in Bangkok and Pattaya Cambodian part was my goal and proririty. I still have my guide from trip 15 years ago, places I could easily and peacefully visit this time were then described as ‘ fighting there was as recently as 3 years ago and temple is still out of bounds from Cambodian side” (Preah Vihear) , ‘ accessible by helicopter only’ (Preah Khan and Koh Ker ), ‘last 20 km road very bumpy and difficult in the rainy season, count on 3 hrs from Kompong Thom” ( now30 minutes , Sambor Prei Kuk ) and “ last 10 km impassable in rainy season” ( Bang Melea).
I did not plan any sinister activities but I’m glad I managed to report from 4 massage places and Barcode boy who entertained me for 3 nights and a day was great and sweet joy as much as great surprise. I’d gladly recommend him but he is no longer there landing real job in company of his dreams like I brought him luck or something.
Thailand part brought few surprises.
First , I offed quite a few twinks, not by design , it just happened and no harm done at all, I liked all of them.
Second, again not by design I had more short time offs than in last few trips combined. I liked all those encounters but still firmly belong to long time camp , hence doubled meetings in both Pattaya nights.
Third , some chance encounters turned out to be very rewarding with both boys from Fresh Boys and one I took from almost empty BBB on my last night in Pattaya true highlights.
I liked to be butterfly again with only one repeat of massage in Pattaya. On another hand it was great to see and fall into arms of old companions : Tiger , Jack, Dit, Namu and Tao and sight of Bank at BBB was truly heart stopping as I was sure he is gone for good.
Only disappointment in a sense was Tawan , bar I was on monodiet for a while and still my favorite by a mile if not two.
Off from there was great but I did not like steep tip request sensing I’m taken for a ride and I got upset with digital scene with complaint of not getting off. So this time I decided to give them a pass with bleeding heart to avoid leaking wallet. May be if Boy #15 was there I’d be more inclined to repeat visit but no , I will not be paying 4000 long time as long as 3000 options will be available.
And lastly which is truly shocking for me to realize – first time since fall of Roman empire I think I enjoyed Pattaya part better than Bangkok one. Am I becoming another sad farang to grace her streets ?
It was great to meet star like Mekhin but this trip also proved that unheralded, ordinary looking boys like those mentioned above can provide great time and be tons of fun to be with , still smiling at memory of both Fresh Boys boys making sure I have fun participating in their own.
Thank you again to those members who found time to meet me : paulsf, capitainmick, ChristianPFC, xiluzer and his friends, DivineMadman and anddy, if was great pleasure to meet you.
