I did not follow the Pride Parade to National Stadiun. I went back to airbnb to take a rest. At 8pm, I met forum member at Foodland for dinner then we went for a drink at Dragon. Because it was Buddha birthday public holiday, most of the bars were closed. Dreamboys, Hot Male, Jupiter, Good Boy were closed. Only Freshboys, Banana Bar and Stranger Bar on Patpong 2 and Soi 4 were open. At Dragon, our beer and wine were poured into paper cups. The waiters were apologetic and explained it was a requirement for today. Forum member and I had the great pleasure of making acquaintance of a lovely Myanmar waiter. He is interested in languages and a quick learner. When forum member taught him a few phrases in German, he could learn and say them properly within minutes. I told him I will teach him Mandarin phrases next time. Forum member and I then went to Banana Bar and watched the show. Fully packed. Show had something for everyone. At midnight, it was time for supper at Foodland then I said goodbye to forum member and I went back to airbnb to sleep.

Turnout was small - partly due to rain, partly due to long weekend Buddha birthday holiday. But kudos to participants and organisers for waiting out the sudden downpour. "Don't you dare rain on our parade!" that seemed to be the message. I wasn't able to check if there was a real rainbow in the sky after the rain but the rainbow of colours on the ground formed by people along Silom Road was colourful and heartwarming indeed. Some photos below.

Just 10 minutes before 2:00pm, the skies above Bangkok started pouring. It rained non-stop for the next hour and a half, causing some sois in Silom to be flooded. But thankfully the rain started getting less from half past 3. Pride Parade 2026 started at 4pm, which was 2 hours late, but the rain didn't dampen everyone's mood. I took mostly videos and it's not possible to upload them onto forum so I did a Tiktok video and here's the link below. https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSx7WqvWb/

Mostly Thai food. The only Vietnamese dish is Vietnamese noodles. I have not tried them. My guy hasn't tried them too so he doesn't know whether they are authentic Vietnamese or not. He always eat rice dishes.

In Bangkok for 2 weeks. Pride Parade this year will travel along Silom Road so I decided to come and experience it. Arrived yesterday Saturday. Few arrivals. Few people on trains. Few people in Silom in fact. Staying at airbnb at same condo that I stayed in last December. The unit is different from the one I was in but same owner. Homely and clean. After settling my luggage in airbnb, I went to meet two forum members at G's for dinner. Soi 4 was surprisingly quiet on a Saturday night not to mention the eve of Pride Parade. Maybe it has something today with Buddha Day public holiday on Sunday. I had arranged to meet a friend to watch the football Champions League final match at Shennanigan's at 10:15pm so I had time to spare. I followed forum members to Fresh Boy to pass the one hour away. Only 9 customers including us at 9:15pm. 30 boys working. But at 10:00pm, many customers started coming in. Bar was full when I left at 10:10pm. The first show at Fresh Boy begins at 10:15pm. I met my friend and we went to Shennanigan's. We watched the match until 1:45am then we said goodbye. This morning I had 84 baht American breakfast set at Foodland then I swam at the condo pool. I went for lunch at Vietnamese Noodles Silom which is the small eatery at the end of soi Patpong 2 towards Silom 2. On way back, I came across an auntie selling rainbow Pride design fans. 50 baht each. I bought one for myself. I am ready for Pride Parade in one hour's time!

Yes sir!

Yes going for Pride Parade. But not a weekend trip. 2 week holiday. Should I do trip report as a new topic or stay in this topic?

Concluding May weekend trip report On our way back to 56 Surawong, we passed by Good Boy. I saw a familiar face seated at sofa outside the bar. He's a favourite of mine, second in my heart after my guy. I went to chat with him. I found out that he's returning to Vietnam next week. I said sorry I couldn't off him tonight. I gave him 500 baht tip and wished him well. My guy and I spent an unforgettable wild night at 56 Surawong followed by an active morning before we went to Foodland for breakfast. I said goodbye to him after breakfast. I went back to hotel room to sleep another hour then went to Urban Thai at 10am when they opened to get foot, head and shoulder massage, then went back to hotel to check out at noon to go to the airport. I am concluding this trip report because I am going back to Bangkok tomorrow!

Midnight bar is near Good Boy. It is a beer bar on the first level along Patpong soi 2. It used to be known as Hot Male beer bar.

Midnight is worth a visit because of one waiter. He has muscles like the guys in Moonlight!

@Keithambrose @Min my guy and I am prim and proper when we are outside but once in the hotel room, ... 🤣

Yes it is possible to have a conversation at Jupiter despite the loud music. You need to sit very very close to the other person. 🤣

Showering and brushing teeth

I translated Chatgpt's palm analysis and sent it to my guy's Whatsapp. The reaction on his face showed that he agreed with most of the analysis. "Thank you, papa, I love you," he kisses me on my cheek. 🥰🥰🥰
