I asked him about long time and was quoted astronomical 10 K. Gulp , I expected it to be high but not that much. Contrary to what one may think, I agreed.

In my opinion, a good choice - because when I was with you during my bootcamp training last May - I remember that other 10k quotation that you got from that sexy Mr. Jey guy and it kept haunting you during our successive days together.

Now with Mr. Jupiter - no haunting or regrets - as you got what your fantasy desired.

Also, after 7 days of celibacy - if we assume that you would have spent 4k each of those days on a guy - then that would come to 28k and with Mr. Jupiter you only spent 10k - thus "saving" 18k for other encounters....

Goes without saying celibacy was ruined last night.

Your guardian angel who was sure you offed the guy to go to the church will get scolded by his boss!

I personally would not spend more than 5k on any guy for short time. But @bkkmfj2648 logic is right. Because you didn't spend on guys for 7 days, the money accumulated from those 7 days can rightly be spent on your remaining days.

To be fair, vinapu take him for LT, albeit until 6am. I always goes with the advice i heard somewhere before about life, you will always regret about things that you didnt do than things you have done.

that was not an issue as I was informed in the start , before finances were discussed. 

He promised next time will be till 9 and reminded me that when inquired about another meeting  -but that came unfortunately on my last day when I was leaving at 7 am next morning

all three of us are on the same page.

Certainly no regrets from me. And who knows , repeat may be in books when I came next time  in Jan 2027

Day 17

 It must be something in Bangkok water as during days this trip I feel very lazy, only with arrival of night I seem to get bouts of energy.

 This afternoon my out of the scene guy told me he wants to come. This is arrangement we have  , since he is working in steady job but on unsteady schedule he tell me when he can come and then I either say yes or no, no fuss , no issues. Usually we meet once or twice per trip for few hours of fake romance but rather real fun.

  The same happened today, I like him and I sense he appreciates that. Never asks me for anything other than to buy  his favorite farang food which by sheer coincidence is bucket of KFC goodies.

With some concern I noticed that he seems to start developing a bit of stomach and I was not shy to point it out but he was witty – said kettle calls pot black , he, he. Where he learned that ? 

After 4 hours of said masterfully faked romance by both of us he left , I made sure to tuck his usual tip in his undies and soon I went to Foodland where reader joined me for a meal and latest gossip. My plan for today  was Goodboys and , in reserve Moonlight as I did not see Y this trip yet.

I got quite nice seat  and noticed Viet boy whom ichigo and me saw week ago at Atlas on the stage. He recognized me as well and invited myself to seat with me diplomatically saying I don’t need to buy him drink I I don’t want too. So of course I wanted and it was money well spent as he turned out to be talkative , clingy, progressive and not shy at all , certainly I got my money worth even if I told him , no offs today. He was far sighted though and suggested we exchange Line. After  hour and half of not exactly behaving , he got his well earned tip and I went to Moonlight as planned.

 It was quite empty , show just started and I was one of may be 10 customers. Mamasan  got  good shot , knowing that I like Y and he is not there he immediately offered to call him in. While watching show I was cruised and smiled at by quite a few guys , even his royal highness Babe waved at me , likely recalling tip I gave him on my last visit last week. Nut came to say “  hallo, I did not see  you n Moonlight  for long time” which had some merit as last few times I visited he was not there or did not notice me.

I just love Moonlight with all those smiles but no palms outstretched , no boy ever there suggested  to get tipped even if plenty suggested ‘  I go with you “. Y showed up  exactly when  show was over and off we went. He came from home so was not hungry but I treated myself with banana pancake on Patpong market.

 I asked what is the reason for his absence and he told me every year he likes to take whole month off.  Of course , ever since he has a girl he is available till three  but today he surprised me by saying “tonight I will give you time till 4 “ . I gladly accepted extension of audience.

 Today was quite remarkable for me as all three guys I met clearly appreciated fact that I met them, I could sense that very well. I even thought with Y I finally will have that elusive hand holding only session  but no, as soon as light dimmed I noticed that actually it’s not hand I’m holding and we went from there.

He left at 3.40 and I could catch some sleep on my last debaucherous night in Bangkok, indeed in Thailand as tomorrow I’m off to Phu Quoc

That's me where ever I go... Maybe you got bitten by a vampire ??

[Tomtravel]

I spent 4 nights in BKK and told the boy  to stay in my hotel from 13-19.00. Its hot outside, not fun,  and aircon room with shower is the best. He did so 2 days, was very pleased (me too). Evenings we were drinking. He eventually spent the two night as well. Very challenging for the room cleaning!

Most guys are happy to sleep in comfy bed in aircon rather than go out in sun

Yes I agree - he definitely has a good grasp of the English language and is very chatty, and definitely not shy at all - he was not shy fondling my private parts (outside my pants) and giving me a boner right there in the middle of Atlas bar.

Not that I did not notice those caresses when we were there together but I stick to rule not to comment on other member affairs when we visit bars together, lol.

Certainly he is the guy who , like my brother -in-law says , knows on which tree the money is growing. Pushy for business but does it with certain charm, one of those who will come on own motorbike and still be asking for taxi money, lol

Let's say for now that Line contact was not wasted this trip.

When i first read this, i thought u wrote that your private parts were outside your pants when he fondled it lol. Rereading it again, it could also mean he is fondling it outside your pants lol.

I my presence ? No way, I'd never allow such spectacle due to inherent modesty and shyness.  

lusty mind follows it's instincts.

Day 18

 After entertaining myself for few days in Pattaya and Bangkok time to  chance scenery and country and after packing up what I need I went to Foodland for breakfast and straight from there  to Don Muang for my 12.30 flight to Phu Quoc, Vietnamese island closer to Cambodia then motherland.  My first time there although not first in Vietnam.

 At 2 pm we landed  , my hotel was in the center and I was so anxious to start new adventure that I made two mistakes  while still in the airport.

First glimpse of the Long Beach :

 

First I did not change money assuming it will be easy in the city. It turned out not so easy at the first look and it took me a while to  find place. Of course after I found it , all of the sudden I saw plenty  of options. Certainly  there are many exchange facilities  along the road leading from airport to the city as this is where most hotels are and she runs parallel to properly named Long Beach. So my advice would be to exchange  some money in the airport to start loaded although rates are bit better in the city and along the strip.

 

Second mistake actually cost me money as I did not do homework about distance from airport to the city and possible cost . I knew about free bus but as I said I was anxious. I was approached by guy who quoted 30 $ to which I said no very firmly but he still outsmarted me by asking  how much you give me and I idiotically offered 20. Later I learned that even 10 would be generous as  price should be around 175000 dong = 7 USD.

 

One of biggest attractions of island for tourists are few lines of free green colored  electric busses. Stops are clearly posted and main interest is fairly frequent bus # 17 running between airport and northern tip of island with replica of Venice- watch this space tomorrow.

 

How to get the free bus from the airport ? When you get out from terminal look diagonally right across the parking in front . You should see the bus waiting, if not it should come soon , as I said it’s every 20 minutes . It runs along the beach then meanders through the city  and again along the beaches up north so chances are your hotel is walking distance from the bus. Certainly both of n mine were, very short distance.

 

Overpaid taxi delivered me to my hotel and once I got to my room I was quite impressed what 35$ buys you there in terms of accommodation. Not to mention breakfast   on top floor included.

my hotel :

 

and the room :

and view from top :

 

I set off to see the city , since I couldn’t see place to change money I went to bank which turned to be good idea as rate was the best 25040 for 1$ and they made me millionaire in a blink.

 40$= 1 000 000 dong. Thoughtfully payout was in 100 000 ‘s as guy there said ‘ to make your life easier”  . Of course right after that I saw several places to exchange but I was good for now.

 

They have very picturesque temple by the sea , it’s where town and tourists congregates to watch the sunset.  For 250 000 one can take sunset cruise with added  attraction of fishing for sea food and having it cooked right there.

 

 

At night of course Night Market, main attraction for me was ice cream made on the spot. They call it Thai ice cream but I never saw this in Thailand. In middle of market is mixed massage place and I spotted very attractive guy offering massage but that being my first night there I decided to leave it for tomorrow. And tomorrow of course he was busy when I passed. As they say’ luck smiles at you only once”.

Thanks for this trip report as I also plan to visit Pho Quoc with my Thai boyfriend.  I have been before - so I am curious to see what has changed - as they were still building the huge Venice replica when I was last there.

Your information will help me to plan my trip there in either April or May.
