LAST DAY IN BANGKOK BEFORE MOVING TO PATTAYA Today the plan was to finally see something of Bangkok. My family and colleagues back home will get suspicious if I don't show any photos of Bangkok. What have I been doing there all this time? Haha. That's why I went to Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen. It's famous for the gigantic Buddha statue on one of Bangkok's canals. This large statue was under construction for a long time, but has recently been restored to its former glory. And I'd never been there before. It's very beautiful. Highly recommended. Especially if you can find the "hidden" photo spot across the water. For your convenience, this is the Google Maps link to that photo spot: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8PPMpEYWP1mCqw4h9 In the evening, I had plans to pick up the cute guy I met yesterday in Jupiter. But first, I wanted to check out Atlas Bar. A new bar I've never been to really needs to be checked out. While I was checking some messages on my phone outside, two men wanted to go in. But they immediately turned around. I heard this was because there weren't any customers inside. So, I'm not going in. It's so awkward to be the only customer in a bar like that. Who knows, I might try it again soon when I get back from Pattaya. I decided to walk straight to Jupiter. I passed Rainbow Dragon. It was the first time I saw that there were actually quite a few people inside. It looked like some kind of event, with a drag queen shouting something into a microphone. It drew enthusiastic reactions from the audience. I don't know if they do drag shows there often or if this was a one-off. I find many of the boys at Jupiter attractive. So I always enjoy watching their boys' parade. My eye fell on a boy with slightly curly hair. He has a very muscular body, a cute face, and a mischievous smile. He also performs many of the show acts as a dancer and stripper. But... he seems to have a brother who also works there? Because there were two boys with curly hair who look alike. See the two photos below from the parade video on Jupiter's Facebook page, from the day I was there. One boy is walking at the beginning of the parade. The other is at the end. They do look alike, don't they? Who knows more? I didn't see the guy I'd spoken to yesterday in the parade, but luckily he came in right after. Papasan directed him straight to me. The deal was quickly made, since we'd actually agreed on it yesterday. Off to my hotel.

By the way, after two nights at the Méridien Hotel, I changed hotels again. My budget doesn't allow for a longer stay in such an expensive hotel. So I stayed at the Ibis Styles Silom next, where I've stayed several times during my visits to Bangkok. And I always liked that hotel. Those who know it will remember that the bathroom tiles are very colorful and distinctive. It's funny to see different guys on Grindr with their profile pictures taken in a bathroom at the Ibis Styles. Then you at least know they're staying nearby... Or at least they can easily find the hotel if you invite them. Haha

If anybody has inside information about which guys might bottom (and I like kissing too...), I'm happy to hear names and which massage places they work. Via private message is also fine to keep it a bit more discrete... There are off course some massage shops that advertise with this information about the boys, but most of the shops are too discrete about it. See for example response I received when I, in my opinion, very politely and discreet asked about preferences of boys.

And attending our forum meet up offcourse... https://www.gayguides.com/topic/77933-when-are-you-coming-to-thailand/page/2/#findComment-483854

I received curious private messages about the two Vietnamese guys I'd brought to the Goodboy bar. Apparently, two Vietnamese brothers work there who sometimes accompany customers together. One of those brothers was indeed one of the guys I'd brought to the Méridien hotel. The other guy was a friend of his, but not his brother. He said his brother wasn't working. I'm still unclear whether he meant his brother simply had the night off or no longer works at the bar. I thought this might be an interesting addition to my earlier post about my "threeway" adventure.

You are right. I've been going there for years. When cannabis regulations in Thailand became more relaxed, everyone wanted a piece of the pie. This restaurant included. So the front terrace was transformed into a cannabis shop where people smoked. It wasn't pleasant to sit and eat, so if you wanted to eat there, you basically had to sit inside. I was pleasantly surprised to see that cannabis sales have since stopped, and both the terrace and the interior are once again exclusively used as a bar/restaurant. https://maps.app.goo.gl/2UqUAsU1AdW5oeK4A

FRENCH KISSING IN BANGKOK For a few days, I'd been chatting with a half-French/half-Moroccan guy who is in Thailand for an extended period. At first, he seemed a bit too feminine for me. But there was something about him that attracted me, both in his photos and in his "French ritual" he offers. After a few days of hesitation because his "asking price" was so high, I decided to invite him anyway. My curiosity about him got the better of me. Despite the high price, it turned out to be completely worth it. I'm not going to say what I paid him because I'd be embarrassed to, and then I'd get all my fellow forum members commenting... Haha. But let's just say this French guy didn't charge Thai rates. He had a warm and open personality. He took his time. His massage was exactly what I needed in terms of intensity. Plus, he works with pressure points, which was a very pleasant experience. The transition from sensual to erotic was seamless. He knows what he's doing, and he enjoys it himself. After the climax, it wasn't a quick pay-and-go. No, even then he took his time. Lying in each other's arms, chatting a bit. And he gave me a wonderful head massage. We talked about pressure point techniques and Chinese medicine. A well-spent afternoon. He also happens to be incredibly creative. At the guesthouse where he's staying by the river in Bangkok, he's working on a mural depicting various world cities. He's a professionally trained dancer, which explains his toned body and flexibility, so to speak... But above all, he has a great personality. If you search on the Hunqz website, you'll find him. It was the last night in Bangkok for a fellow forum member I'd met in Bangkok this week. So we decided to go out for dinner together again. We chose G's, as my dinner companion put it, "to stay loyal to Guido." I eat at Guido's every time I'm in Bangkok. And I always have a schnitzel. But since I'd already had it two nights ago, I decided to try a Thai dish this time. And that was delicious too. Also happy te report that Guido's pussy is still in full action. Alive and kicking at the terrace. After dinner, we went across the street for a drink on the terrace of Banana Club. On the terrace, yes. It was still early, there wasn't a show yet. But sitting there gave us the opportunity to watch people walk by. I always love that: people watching. And because the music wasn't nearly as loud as at other terraces further down the Soi, we were able to have a decent conversation. After my late afternoon escapades, I wasn't planning on finding a guy tonight. But after my fellow forum member left for his hotel, I decided to check out Jupiter anyway. I remember their show being very entertaining, even if I wasn't planning on bringing a guy. Upon entering, I was initially assigned a spot on a bar stool. After sitting there for a while, I asked to move to a bench. Sitting on a bar stool for extended periods of time isn't comfortable for me. Luckily, it wasn't too busy (yet), so I found another spot. Later, the place started filling up considerably. From the second show onward, at least all the benches were occupied, and some of the bar stools further back were as well. A friendly papasan confirmed my suspicion that the boy I had my eyes on at first was "boy" and not "gay." But he would point out which boys were gay during the next parade. And he did. With his laser pointer. When the parade ended, he gathered four of the gay boys from that evening. Without me knowing, they were suddenly all standing behind me. And asked if I could pick one. Awkward. But helpful. A boy who had been smiling at me during the parade was the nicest one in my opinion. So I agreed to have a drink with him during the next show. The boy confirmed that he was up for "anything" and would happily join me to make me "happy." I held my ground. And after we sat close together during the show, with my hand occasionally running over his muscles and his hand on my knee, I told him I'd love to come back next time and take him along. I did give him 200 baht as a tip for his time and company. He was great company, especially because he spoke reasonable English. By the way, he claimed to be from Bangkok. Originally. I don't hear that very often. Most Thai guys I talk to in bars are from somewhere in the countryside.

Didn't know there was a limit on daily reactions you can give in this forum...

Did all the stamp collectors on here know about the stamp museum in Bangkok? When I did see this on the list (see picture) I was laughing thinking about our forum...

Happy to report Guido's pussy is still in action. Seen at the terrace tonight.

I would like to know also. By the way, I don't think it's our responsibility, as customers, to keep track of the time. You make an agreement, say, 90 minutes. And if the massage boy ends up spending more time with you, I don't think you should have to pay extra. Unless, of course, after the 90 minutes, it's clearly stated that the paid time is over and you want to extend. How many times have forum members experienced their agreed-upon 90-minute session becoming a shorter session, and they were out the door within 90 minutes? Shouldn't you get a refund then because you've booked more time than you were paid for? The other way around, it shouldn't be standard practice either. Again, unless there's been clear agreement.

Well... I want him to play with a different stick than the one of the pool table... I'm afraid I had to pay the normal fee of 500baht for my drink. I see it as my contribution to the local gay community because indeed what I deed see there was not worth that 500baht. If you compare that for what show you see in Jupiter for the same 500baht for first drink... I would choose Jupiter a million times over Tawan nowadays. What can I say... We are having exquisite taste and good eye for quality. Did he have a 7eleven logo tattoo on the backside of his neck? I already did and enjoyed it there. See report above here.

ANOTHER DAY IN BANGKOK I've never had this much jet lag as I have this year. Does that have something to do with me getting older? Anyway, I took an extra nap during the day today. In between, I also visited the new Central Park. The new shopping mall with office towers and the new Dusit Thani hotel. They must have thought there weren't enough shopping malls in the area yet. But I have to say: the rooftop terrace is impressive. It's a true roof garden. It really makes you feel like you're walking through a park. With a beautiful view of Lumphini Park and the skyline beyond. There are discussions on this forum about where the best cashew chicken was on the menu. I had one today at Sarica restaurant on Surawong Road. Plenty of cashews, and the chicken was delicious. However, I have reservations about the quality of the sauce/paste they used. Still, I think it tasted good. That evening, I decided to visit Dreamboy right before the first show. Papasan had advised me the night before to arrive early next time, and he'd find me a good guy. When I arrived, it was already very busy. So busy, in fact, that I got a spot at the side of the stage. This made it difficult to get a good look at the guys, let alone read their number tags. Because of the crowd, Papasan also left me a bit alone, so I couldn't ask them for advice or information about the guys. When he happened to come by, he shined a laser pointer on several guys he knew were gay and also into bottoming. One of them had caught my eye earlier that evening, so I decided to invite them for a drink. He's from Myanmar and didn't speak a word of English. The translation app was struggling. I typed really good, but simple, English sentences. But the translation into Burmese wasn't great, so he didn't quite understand what I wanted to know. I deliberately didn't mention that I am top and wanted him to express his preferences first by asking him. His answer was ultimately clear: he's gay, but he's top. I politely let him know that we wouldn't be a match, which he accepted. He did, however, sit comfortably next to me, finishing his drink and touching each other. I tipped him 200 baht. Papasan came over and asked if I wanted to take the boy. I explained that I didn't, because the boy claims to be top, which contradicts the information Papasan gave me. Then Papasan and the boy started talking in Thai or Burmese. I didn't understand it at all. But after that, the boy claimed to want to take good care of me and was willing to do anything, including bottoming. But I insisted I wouldn't bring the boy along. A date between us could only end in disappointment. I want a real bottom or versa. And not someone who "just does it" because Papasan says so. It doesn't feel right to do something with a boy he doesn't choose for himself. That's why I was glad I'd had that conversation with him where I'd asked him about his preferences without him knowing what I was looking for. Or what Papasan had told me. I was a bit annoyed by Papasan's misinformation. Let's just say it cost me valuable time that I could have better spent meeting a guy who's truly bottom or versa. I couldn't bring myself to choose a new guy at Dreamboy either. So I paid and left the bar disappointed. Where to go now? It was already past midnight. And experience from the previous evening had taught me that it's hard to find a guy anywhere then, as closing time is approaching. But... Then I saw a sign that Goodboyz had a show at 1 a.m. So I went in... I arrived in boy heaven. There were so many boys. So many. And something for every taste. I even saw quite a few who piqued my interest. And importantly: the atmosphere was great. I felt welcome. Friendly mamasan. Boys who smiled at me and asking for attention, without being too pushy for drinks or tips. I even managed to chat with a boy who had spontaneously sat next to me for a while before he asked if I wanted to buy them a drink. And I did want to buy him a drink. Because he was definitely my type. He spoke reasonable English. That was a plus. At the same time, there was another attractive boy further down who also kept making eye contact. Both boys from Vietnam. And before I knew it, I was sitting with a boy on either side of me, drinks for them, and hands going everywhere, both theirs and mine. The setup at Goodboyz allows for this. The way the seating is arranged and the fact that it's a bit darker makes it a bit more intimate and private. Why choose between two cute guys when they're both willing to go with you? Luckily, the Méridien has big beds. The guys didn't do anything together in the hotel room, by the way. Their focus was entirely on me. But I'm not complaining, of course. I wouldn't call it a real threesome this way, either. But it was a special experience. The first time I've brought two guys from the bar back to the hotel.

I mean you mean baht insyeds of dollars... Now in Bangkok. I was lucky finding a massage guy who offered to come visit me for 1500 baht for full service. But generally both in the bars and on apps boys ask 2500 or 3000 for short time. Good-looking freelancers on grindr go as far as asking for 5k.

BANGKOK DAY 2 If I have time in between, I'll write something for my trip report. But it is, of course, a vacation after all. So I won't be updating daily. The second day in Bangkok. Time to change hotels to the luxurious Le Méridien. I always love the rooms here. Beautiful, spacious bathroom. Wonderful bath to relax in. And the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is truly extensive. Delicious. Another forum member also checked into the Méridien the same day I did. While chatting, we discovered we'd been given rooms on the same floor. What are the odds of that in a 24-story hotel? We decided to have a drink together that evening to get acquainted. He was already sitting on the terrace of Shenanigans, and I went to find him there. We had a nice, friendly chat. We then decided to walk around the corner together to check out one of the boy bars. We decided to go to Freshboys. They had a good selection of guys. I'd say there was something for everyone. My eye fell on number 9. He had curly hair, which made him stand out among all the other guys. He seemed very shy. Inquiring revealed he was from Myanmar and was "flexible" gay. Fellow forum member had left a bit earlier, and after I'd finished my drink, I decided to check out Dreamboy. It used to be my favorite boy bar back in the Soi Twilight days, the first few times I came to Bangkok. Because of its size (two floors) and the many boys. And the spectacular shows. Who doesn't remember the acrobatic sex scenes on stage? And the ladyboys showing off their erect penises? When I entered Dreamboy, I was reminded that it's still the biggest boy bar today. A very large stage. And quite a few boys, even though it was already late. It was funny to see that several mamasans/papasans who were already working in Soi Twilight were still there. They were about to close. A papasan who recognized me told me to come earlier tomorrow. He'd find me a really good boy then... I'm curious!
