Three Nights in Bangkok - Trip Report

[FunFifties]

Recently spent three nights in BKK on my way to Cambodia. Here is a report:

 

Day 1

Arrived early in the morning. Immigration took about 30 minutes of standing in line, which was perfect timing as my bag literally appeared on the baggage belt, the moment I arrived to collect it. Next order of business was getting to Furama Silom. I opted for train and metro (blue line to Silom) and then a 15 min walk to the other end of Silom road. I wasn't in a hurry since my early check in was only available at 9 and after 10 hours sitting in economy class I enjoyed moving my limbs.

 

I also stayed in Furama Silom on my last (and first) trip to BKK a little over a year ago, but it wasn’t quite as nice as I remembered. The carpet on my floor (14) could really use a good cleaning or replacement and around the ac vent in my room were little spots of mold plus there was the remains of a dead bug in the kettle 😕

 

I was too tired to complain, but will definitely consider other options for my stay when I come back from Cambodia.

 

On my first trip to BKK, I learned that the perfect way for me to cure the aches and stiffness induced by a long flight is a two hour hot oil massage. So around 1030 or 11, I went to the same place expecting more or less the same thing as last time. It is a place that is considered soft and last time I went, the massage was excellent and the body to body extra was meh. So I had decided beforehand to turn down any offers of extras.

 

I was the first customer and it seemed only one masseur had shown up for work. He looked very young and a bit skinny (to be fair he was lean/athletic, but the baggy uniform made him seem smaller), so I was afraid I was going to be disappointed with the massage since last time it was a bulkier late 20’s masseur. I was not disappointed at all. Massage was even better than last time plus his hands and fingers kept getting closer and stay longer near my groin and every time he got a bit closer he asked “are you ok?”.

 

I was indeed ok, so when he had established that I was in the mood for extras he whisperingly offered a body to body massage for a minimum tip of 900. The flesh is weak, mine in particular, so a moaning “yes please” was the only answer I was capable of. Body to body massage turned into full on intercourse of different positions and intensities on the massage table and when we had both climaxed, I expected the session to be over. He hadn’t finished the massage, however, so he proceeded to finish the job. I was very impressed with that level of professionalism. I tipped him 2000. After extras he explained that he is not allowed to have sex with clients and asked me not to tell anyone, as he could get fired if anyone found out. To respect his request I am leaving out his name and the name of the place in this report. 

 

Since my last visit to Bangkok, I have kept in touch with two of the guys I met and I had let them know of my plans to visit and told them where I was going to stay.  One was available to meet me and we had already agreed that he would come after work on my second day for dinner, drinks and sleepover. He texted me on day 1 already and asked if he could come by as he would like to go to the pool. I agreed on the condition that there would be no sleepover, since I needed a good, long sleep to avoid jet lag. We went to the pool then across the street to Pullmann for a sundowner in the open air bar on one of the upper floors. We had a quick bite to eat and around 7 pm I was ready to go to bed alone.

 

Before turning in, I opened Grindr and soon got a message from a very cute young Indonesian guy looking for a quickie. I obliged, he came over and we had a very nice half hour session.

 

Went to sleep at 8, woke briefly a couple of times, but managed to sleep 12 hours. All in all a perfect first day and night in Bangkok. Need to catch a train to the cambodian border in a few hours, but hope to update on day 2 and 3 soon.

certainly you did not waste any time, waiting patiently for days you mentioned

A day well spent indeed!

Day 2

Breakfast at Furama is plentiful with both Western and Asian options. The Western options seem of the cheapest industrial quality whereas the Asian ones seemed more fresh made. There is an egg station, so I could get a decent omelet and there is also fresh fruit. 

 

Had a tailor’s appointment, visited an optician and did a bit of shopping. I will report on the tailor and optician in the post I started on that topic when the items are in my possession.

 

Sleepover date came over right after work, so we had a round of not sleeping in the bed before going out to dinner. We rode his motorbike to Chinatown for dinner and back to Silom for drinks and a drag show in Stranger Bar. Show was excellent. Queens were polished and professional. Crowd mostly other tourists, most of them relatively young. Show ended at 2 am, so we headed back to the hotel for sleepover.

 

Day 3

Date had to get up for work around 7, so I got up as well to join him for breakfast. I had had a few too many the night before so I required another round of sleeping. In spite of smoggy conditions, I opted for a long walk to Lumpini Park where I stumbled upon one of the little dragons devouring a bird. I then proceeded to the Benchakitti Park. The latter is definitely the nicest of the two. 

 

While in Benchakitti I checked in on Grindr and was contacted by a nice looking late 30s guy. We met at the exchange tower and took a grab back to Furama. We arrived at the hotel at around 4 to find that the room had not been made up yet, so that was another item on my list of Furama Silom disappointments.The two hours of copulating, cuddles and conversation I had with the Grindr guy were not disappointing, so he is definitely on my “would like to meet again list”.

 

I had to jokingly kick him out because sleepover guy was coming back again for another round of dinner and sleepover. Dinner was at a place on the river called NAAM 1608 where a dish of aubergine, pork and Thai basil deserves favourable mentioning. After dinner he took us back to the hotel and we had another nice sleepover.

 

So lessons learned this time around are; 

 

Furama Silom is not a four star hotel. I know they don’t charge four star prices, but they shouldn’t be advertising as such and I have stayed at many three star places with higher cleaning standards.

 

S level massage places with focus on massage can unexpectedly but pleasantly offer a H level service.

 

Grindr works well for me when looking for non-transactional hook-ups. Especially when not in Silom where the ratio of moneyboys and fellow tourists on the app is quite high.

Very interesting observation - as I have never heard any of our forum members report on this.

I guess the old adage is very true:

NAAM 1608, is one of my favourite  restaurants! Often have to book. Great river view.

You took good advantage of the cool weather and visited two of my favorite walking routes. Envy you the opportunity!

Surprised there was a Grindr guy up that early.

I've learned at all hotels, to call reception when I am heading out to ask them to clean the room....2* or 5*, I've had same thing, come back to a dirty room after being out for awhile.

This isn't the sexiest of questions 🤣

I'm in Bangkok in May - where are the decent tailors? Any recommendations? and what is the average price?
