Just a partial report from Tuesday evening, after I arrived. I thought that my Vietnamese stamp collection would be reorganised, but, it didn't happen. Luckily a Lao collector was available. He was insistent on Grindr. We had been through my collection on a previous visit, so we moved on to local government finances. Good choice, he was excellent in all respects, cum in various different locations!
Exhausted, as I am now over 70 (!), I wandered off down Patpong 2. It was very empty, Barkers looking fairly desperate. The much renamed Dragon was empty. Went to Soi 4, maybe at 60%, sat outside Banana, I was the only one there, chatted to the guys. They seemed a bit down, just going through the motions, or perhaps that was just me. Not much eye candy passing by. Popped in to Freshboys on way back, maybe one third full, decent boys, left quite soon, put my head into Goodboys, again not much going on. Didn't try Atlas.
Will try Patpong again nearer weekend. My hotel, Meridien, seems not as busy as before, judging by attendance at breakfast. Climate change meant heavy thunderstorms, both day and night!
