For general remarks see these. This posts includes saunas closed since my last post as well.

This post is mostly armchair research. I have only been to a few. In all other cases I just called or checked their Facebook, Twitter, Line. In these uncertain times it's better to call everywhere to make sure they are open. Times are in 24-hour-system, omitting zero minutes for full hours.

Alphabetic list (numbered, disregarding numbers, articles, punctuation marks, “sauna” in name) with websites (only their own website or facebook, not counting entries on other websites; “offline” means nothing comes, “overtaken” means other stuff is displayed, date is when I first noticed) and landline phone number:

Gay activities Jan2022

Gay activities Jan2022
Gay activities and updates on Bangkok and Pattaya gay venues. Culinary discoveries. Public transport Bangkok – Pattaya. All times are in 24-hour-format, omitting minutes for full hours.

Sun2jan2022 Bangkok
A boy Apisit from the outskirts wants to come to meet me, I agree to pay for taxi 340 THB from Om Yai. Actually I had offered 1000 for return trip, but then he wants me to send money in advance or to send a taxi to pick him up, I refuse. In hindsight, should have sent a taxi (grab) to pick him up, send his phone number to taxi driver so they can arrange the details, and I pay on arrival.

Flashback: In feb2011, I had a delicious meal with a Thai friend. I enjoyed the meal so much that I asked him to write down the name: หมูทอดกระเทียม (mŏo tôt grà-tiiam) pork fried with garlic. Few of the หมูทอดกระเทียม I ate until now were as delicious, and the secret lies in the way of preparation: I like the garlic crispy. In Tom’s Café (Soi Sribampen) I found a place that makes หมูทอดกระเทียม to my liking. You can replace the pork by chicken (accidental finding, they were out of pork and suggested I take chicken). For good measure, I order it with extra garlic, extra crispy.

Even better, after trying several kinds of fried garlic and onion/shallot from supermarket, I found some (Aree Fried Garlic Slice) that tastes as good and that I now eat, in small amounts, like potato chips/crisps:

Mon3jan2022 Bangkok to Pattaya
In these uncertain times, have to call everywhere, in this case bus station, to see if they are open and if opening times or frequency have changed.

Trip to Pattaya as before Covid: bus 46 to Bang Na. Roong Rueang to North Pattaya bus station. Normally I would wait on North Pattaya road for a passing songtheo (10 THB to South Pattaya Second Road), but one of those waiting quotes 30 THB to take me (among other passengers) to Tuk-Com, an offer I accept.

I used to stay in Baan Dok Mai which is permanently closed. But Mosaik is open and has standard room for 500 THB. Great value for money! Room to room in a record time of 3h28 min.

While walking around in town, by chance meet two friends who made it to Thailand. Everyone with a bit of common sense stayed home or went elsewhere, but some of my hardcore sex-tourist friends made it to Thailand. (Referring to entry conditions at that time: original and revised (Omikron) Test & Go, with PCR tests and one or two nights in hotel).

And old regular Spy comes to my room and we have a good time. 1000 well deserved.

Nice Boys soft drink 200 (up from 170 ? before Covid), stay 21:05-44. They have 6 boys (most of them in trousers shirtless on stage) and between 1 and 6 customers. I witness two offs.

BoyzBoyzBoyz open and show in alley. X-Boys one staff outside 23, they are open 12-22:30 but only outside (chairs, tables).

Tue4jan2022 Pattaya
Join a Farang friend for breakfast at Gafae (South Pattaya road, West of Tuk-Com), good food!

Walk around Jomtien Complex, plenty of boys in massage and bars, several my type.

Walk along Jomtien beach during low tide and spot several sea urchins / hedgehogs (some dead, some alive), but no other animals or plants or garbage. Stepping on a sea urchin / hedgehog would be the end of a holiday!

Before Covid I would rarely go to Jomtien, but now there is no entertainment for more than one night left in Sunee and Boystown, and there are no Italian restaurants open here either (but several around Jomtien Complex), so I would make a daily trip to Jomtien Complex. Getting back after 23 can involve long wait (10 min) for a songtheo.

An old regular Wim comes to my room. We have fun, but then a call from his boss: there is nobody left at his workplace, he has to go there to stay over night (fear of thieves breaking in). Meet again another day for overnight. He didn’t ask for money and I didn’t give any (but compensate next time).

Wed5jan2022 Pattaya
So far I met only regulars (with whom I have been in contact during my absence) and haven’t been on online dating, now go on online dating to see who else is around.

An old regular Chan Khmer comes to my room for 1000. He still rates highly for brown skin and absence of body hair, but since we first met, he is 5 years older and 5 kg heavier and the original attraction is largely gone. No repeat.

Thu6jan2022 Pattaya
I go to meet an old regular Sun at his place and we have a good time.

Fri7jan2022 Pattaya
Alek from hornet comes to my room. Nice face and haircut, good character and good English, good activities, but not so much my type. Ask him for back massage, does it good. Didn’t ask for money.

Gogo from grindr comes to my room. Body okay, activities not my style. Didn’t ask for money.

That's a surprise, despite being in Pattaya and the current economical situation, two boys for free!

And old regular Nine comes to my room for 1000. Great body as before, interesting conversation in English, okay activities. Ask him for back massage, good. Let him wear various underwear but no clear hit.

At night, meet a Farang friend in Jomtien. General chat, then ask him to watch me while I go for a swim to see if there is fluorescent plankton. Keep my flip-flops on (afraid of sea urchins / hedgehogs). They float on water, no need to tie them to my ankle. About 100 m from shore plankton clearly visible, but low density and still light from beach. Bye 23:55 in Jomtien Complex. In the center still activity. Have to wait 10 min for songtheo back to South Pattaya.

Sat8jan2022 Pattaya
I thought now I can get any boy at any time, the occasion to get some who are further down on my list who I missed in previous years for space/time problems. I was wrong!

Pla and Zag read my messages but no reply, Vakim suddenly offline while chatting. Zag later writes he has boyfriend already.

Flashback: During my time in France (2011-2013), I had the most delicious salmon I ever ate. No salmon I ate afterwards could match the taste. Now, in La Cuisine au Beurre, is the first time I eat salmon (salmon in white wine sauce with mashed potato 269 THB) that matches the salmon in France in taste and solves the mystery: I prefer salmon boiled/poached, whereas most places serve fried salmon.

Update apr2022: The foodcourt at Ikea Bangna has boiled salmon as well. However the sauce covers the taste, I have to lick off – in my mouth – the sauce first so the salmon can unfold. Or next time ask to have the sauce separate from the salmon.

First-world-problems: salmon, boiled not fried; with a sauce that does not cover the taste.

Another un-matched taste meal I had in France is pizza margherita with goat cheese. I'm still looking for place where I can get something similar.

But back to bars and boys.

Nice Boys 21:00-40. 5 boys 0 customers when I enter, one other customer during my stay. Drink for me 200, ring the bell for drinks for boys and one staff and tip everyone 100 and some encouraging words. Total 2000, highest I have ever spent on drinks and tips in a bar.

In Sunee Plaza open: Winner Boys (only outside, a few boys and owner?), The One (few boys and customers), Euro Boys. Total less than 10 boys and 10 customers.

Sun9jan2022 Pattaya to Bangkok
Return by van from South Pattaya to BTS Bangna, then continue by BTS and MRT, room to room 3h16min, another record!

Bond Korat comes to my room and stays over night, another good time!

Wed12jan2022 Bangkok
No luck: boy on Blued horny but slow reply, Ter was willing but slow and then now reply. NikSNO out with friends.

Thu13jan2022 Bangkok
A comes in the evening and stays over night.

Fri14jan2022 Bangkok
Daytrip with A and another over night.

Sat15jan2022 Bangkok
Hugging in the morning, breakfast, bye.

Go to see an old friend in Ratchada for general chat.

An old acquaintance Jumbo comes to my room and we have a good time. 1000 well deserved.

Mon 17jan2022 Bangkok to U-Thong
Travel to U-Thong for sightseeing with a Farang friend and to meet a boy (first encounter 2019 in Suphanburi). He asked for perfume from Germany as a gift. I don’t use perfume and wouldn’t gift perfume, but years ago another friend asked for perfume from Germany, and I had one bottle left, perfect for this occasion!

Tue18jan2022 U-Thong
Once I made the effort (packing, bus) to get out of Bangkok, it would be a waste to return after 3d2n in U-Thong. Chat with other boys in nearby provinces: Ben in Chainat dead (details see “Roll Call”), Fluke in Ang Thong is afraid of Covid and can’t meet me, but a friend in Phetchaburi is eager to meet, so I go there.

Wed19jan2022 U-Thong to Phetchaburi
Sun Hotel 590 THB per night. Things I don’t like: bedlinen three layers (loose*) that become messed up. Wardrobe no door. Things I like: nice light behind bed (silhouette of Khao Wang), shoes to wear in room provided.

* That’s a general issue in some hotels. I guess they wash only the outer layers that come in contact with skin. Saves energy, but messy.

Thu20jan2022 Phetchaburi
Meet Frank for lunch, to my room 12:04 and we have a good time. Bye 13:58 in my room. Then 14:09 messages me asking for money, I agree. Meet 14:31 in basement/parking, there is staff around and I don’t want to hand him money in front of staff, so I ask him to take me to Wat Yai Suwannaram which is on his and my way. 500 Frank at Wat Yai Suwannaram, bye 14:44.

Fri21jan2022 Phetchaburi to Bangkok
Even before Covid, there were only few northbound trains (i.e. going to Bangkok from Phetchaburi, Hua Hin, Ratchaburi), and now several don’t run at all. I have to take the bus!

Sun23jan2022 Bangkok
Try to get various boys, no luck. Pond ex Super A suddenly offline during negotiations, count as no-show.

Mon24jan2022 Bangkok
NikSNO cancels (gets vaccinated). Ter working, free from 23, agree on 500. But then get Chat and no message from Ter and too late. Update: no further message from Ter. I have had so many sudden loss of contact or no-show from Ter that I stopped counting.

Go to see Chat in his hotel room nearby. Interesting chat, has been to Europe. Fluent in English and similar way of thinking. Too fat, but nice character and brown skin.

Tue25jan2022 Bangkok
NikSNO comes to my room and we have a good time. Stays over night.

Wed26jan2022 Bangkok
Second round in the morning, breakfast, 300 for taxi.

Slow reply from MaxPlok (was supposed to meet for lunch at Lotus Rama 2). Without efficient communication, I will not go to Rama 2 in the hope that he is online, has free time and willing to meet. Count as missed.

Boy from Lak Si (NewHaier, great body picture but face in videochat on Line only soso) would come to my room by taxi but has no money and doesn’t react on my offer to pay on arrival.

Thu27jan2022 Bangkok
K-Pak comes to my room. General chat, good English, then fun. A bit hairy, but else all fine. Repeat.

Fri28jan2022 Bangkok
Try again to get boy from Lak Si or MaxPlok, to come to my room, in vain.

Join a friend to gay discos. (name?) in Mansion Seven in Ratchada, but the disco is closed. Continue to Fake. No vaccination card or ATK required. Everything outside, some food served. Not much to see, not many guests, none my type. Leave 22:22.

Sat29jan2022 Bangkok
Tong Tong forgot to message me after work, SuWin “maybe” then not read, Pong ex Super A agreed but then not online.

Sun30jan2022 Bangkok to Pattaya
Call airport bus (line 389 Suvarnabhumi to Jomtien): next bus 14:30, then 16:30. What a gap! Taxi to Ratchaprarop, ARL to Suvarnabhumi, bus 389 to Jomtien but get out in South Pattaya, songtheo to Tuk-Com. Total travel time 3h32min.

Royal House massage has one masseur (slim brown, but old and facial hair).
 
X-Boys and Dream Boys (now open, was closed last time) only outside service, few boys, no cute.

Wim is home in Korat, Bond Korat is in Chonburi town, so I go to Nice Boys. Nice Boys is my joker, in easy walking distance and the bar I go every trip to Pattaya. I save it for middle or end of my trip, but now everything else failed.

Nice Boys 21:38 8 boys 1 customer, up to 3 customers during my stay. Boys pull down their pants and work up erection for other customer. 

One of the customers distributes “Hokkaido baked cheese tarts” among everyone present. Delicious! Take a note and later get some in Bangkok. And a friend in Bangkok swears by their chocolate cake, which I have yet to sample.

I have my eye on Dui. He has been there for years, slim body as I like but heavily tattooed which I don’t like. But I have a recommendation from a friend, and he has been on my mind for years. Dui busy with his phone throughout, have to ask staff to call him. Audition positive, out out 22:10 with Dui 200 drink for me, 200 drink for Dui, 400 off-fee.

We go to my room on Dui’s mocy, a good start (my hand on his chest, abdomen, upper thigh). General chat, good activities and body, 1000 tip well deserved, repeat some day.

Mon31jan2022 Pattaya
Many homeless around Tuk-Com, there were none before Covid.

Join Farang friends at Divarium. Cute boys as staff, as customers and in other bars. Great way to observe them in their natural habitat, some who are potential sexual partners judging by pictures on their online dating profiles, and now seeing them in real), I can rule out because we are different in character or they smoke cigarettes.

But overall, I don’t feel comfortable sitting in a bar in Jomtien Complex. I don’t like loud music and cigarette smoke. And I like to operate out of the movement, like Blitzkrieg, whereas sitting in Jomtien Complex can be compared to trench warfare. Walking past a massage place with masseurs sitting outside, and then descending like a dive bomber on my target, is more my style. You can have this at the massage place towards the beach.

Quiz: What's the purpose?

Quiz: What's the purpose?



A pre-quiz might be to find out what is shown in the picture. It's explained after the following cat pictures taken from:
22 Photos That Prove Anything Looks Better With a Cat Face
https://brightside.me/wonder-curiosities/22-photos-that-prove-anything-looks-better-with-a-cat-face-796601/

A wooden leg of a table in a small plastic cup in a large plastic cup, with water between the cups.

Solution in a week.

Solution: Table legs in cups filled with water to prevent insects from getting on the table.

You would think it's self explaining, but the friend I asked to look after my room during my absence managed to fill the inner cup with water, getting the wooden legs wet and leaching paint out of them.

Elsewhere I have seen industrially produced double cups, and the space between them filled with a powder that insects won't cross?

Temples sometimes have their library (ho trai หอไตร) in a building on stilts in a pool for the same purpose.

A cheap small-scale variant to store food is to get two plates, pour water on the first plate, then put the second plate on top. Food on second plate is now protected by water between plates.

Mrigadayavan Palace (north of Hua Hin, open to public) has a building that has a groove filled with water around the wall for the same purpose.

Man eats crocodile

Man eats crocodile

Recently, Took Lae Dee (ถูกและดี = "cheap and good", restaurant in Foodland) had several dishes with crocodile meat on offer, which serves as another "misleading headlines" just like the previous post "A tree fell down in Cambodia".



I had the "Crocodile Nuggets Served with Spinach and Fried Potato", and found it good (as everything I had at Took Lae Dee).



That made me think, which other unusual food did I eat or do I know of? I posted on a similar subject here https://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2017/10/incredible-edible.html, now some additions.

Shark
I had shark in 2012 in France, but I wouldn't eat shark fin or whale for ethical reasons.

Duck
I don't eat duck for religious reasons. As a child, I used to believe in Donald Duck.

Dog
I saw dog being prepared for consumption in Cambodia. I wouldn't eat dog.

Cat
When I asked my loyal reader Vinapu "Do you like cats?", he replied "I like all animals if they are well roasted". Another friend once mentioned that near a restaurant in Paris, a large number of cat skeletons were found buried, and the only explanation is that the restaurant served cats as hare/rabbit.

Bird nest
Bird nest is widely available in SEAsia, but I haven't eaten it for the following reasons: expensive, no nutritional value, no minerals or vitamins.

Ostrich
I had ostrich in Germany in an ostrich farm.

Emu and Kangaroo
A friend had emu and kangaroo at an Australian Steak House in Germany.

Filet of Sole
I once read somewhere (but couldn't find any confirmation on the internet) that Salvador Dali was asked about his favorite animal and replied "Filet of Sole".

Animals in China
A Chinese-Malaysian friend once told me: "Chinese eat everything with four legs, except chairs and tables, and everything that flies, except airplanes". A variation is "everything that has his back towards the sky".
