2012 Bangkok

The scandal is about a shop Seven Star in Therminal 21 which sells T-shirts with Hitler prints and has a Ronald McDonald with Hitler mustache doing the Hitler salute. The shop is still there, but the Nazi chic is gone.

Oh my god! (22) Swastika as religious symbol

Oh my god! (22) Swastika as religious symbol

The swastika has been used as a religious symbol long before the Nazis used it. It's usually easy to distinguish religious swastika and Nazi swastika: proportions (religious has slimmer lines than Nazi), sense of rotation (religious often left facing, Nazi always right facing), position (religious usually on the side, Nazi often on the edge) and context.

For etymological connection between "sawastika" and Thai greeting sawatdi สวัสดี see here: Thai Bites - สวัสดี 卍 The True Meaning of Sawatdee by Stuart Jay Raj

Hua Hin gay bars Oct 2015


Hua Hin gay bars Oct 2015

The gay scene in Hua Hin is covered by http://www.huahingayguide.com/ and by occasional posts by Smiles, most recent here http://sawatdeenetwork.com/forum/hua-hin-boy-bars-t34410.html. Locations in gay guide and on map in Thai Puan / Desire are correct.

Currently there are 3 host bars in Hua Hin: New Guy Bar, Buddy Boy Bar, Red Indian Bar’s Boy (sic!); of which New Guy Bar and Buddy Boy Bar had a decent number of boys, some of them cute, when I visited. Same problems as elsewhere: music too loud, too dark, boys playing on their mobiles, low number of customers.

WARNING: pictures of dead animal and skin disease below.

Tuesday 13.10.2015
New Guy Bar 20:13-21:32. Up to 8 boys, 3 of which I consider doable. 2 customers when we enter (ChristianPFC + Farang friend B + his Thai boyfriend N), later we are the only customers. Pineapple juice 70 Baht, soft drinks 40, boy drink 130, off fee 350. Music too loud (I told the manager, he lowered the volume, but turned it up later). Unless playing pool, boys are sitting in dark corner and occupied with their mobile phones.

Wednesday 14.10.2015
Buddy Boy Bar 21:03-22:20. Up to 6 boys, 2 of which I consider offable. Fruit juice 70 Baht, soft drinks 40, off fee 350. Music too loud, too dark, no aircon.

One of the cute boys gets a chair and sits between B and N. However in presence of N, B cannot take a boy home, so I call him over to sit with me. He appears utterly bored and apathic. I would have tipped him and sent him away, but B has decades of experience in whoring around and instigates interaction (the boy doesn’t speak English, B doesn’t speak Thai, so B tells me what to ask the boy and where and how to touch him).

On B’s insistence, I open the boy’s zipper and rummage around, he plays possum but slowly gets hard. 



On B’s insistence, the boy does the same with me (but I don’t get hard). It seems he slowly warms up. I ask him how much for short time: 1000. B tells me to ask if he can go for 800: can. After long pondering and lot of encouraging words from B, I take the boy off.

On the way to my hotel he smokes a cigarette, but in my room, kissing shortly after entering, I can barely smell it, and minutes later it’s gone. Nice body, no hair on balls and butt and interaction ok. Would not have thought after the indifference in the bar. We have a wank together. He tried and managed to satisfy me, so I gave him 1000. Underwear and nipple-play-wise some room for improvement.

In the bar he said he is gay and can do everything, but when I asked him in my room: cannot bottom and cannot suck. If someone teaches him to bottom and to suck and sends him to Bangkok, he could make a lot of money. But first he has to get rid of a skin infection on his butt:

 
He says it’s an allergy แพ้ and is already healing. Years ago I had a boy in Saranrom with oozing pimples on his butt, whereas these scales are dry. What’s going on?

Thursday 15.10.2015
Drive past Buddy Boy Bar 5 pm: already boys inside.
Have a look at Red Indian 21:45, 2 staff and one customer.
New Guy Bar 21:58-22:50. 6 boys and 2 customers.

More observations:
Cute boys on bikes or skateboard in Pone Kingpetch park, cute boys sit and drink midnight after disassembly of night market. Didn't spot anything interesting at the railway station at night. People in groups on beach at night (but a friend in Bangkok told me there are cruisy areas), no gay discos. 

Hornet active and some cute boys. Would have liked to meet one of them, but then breakdown of communication where I don’t know if the boy is not interested, hasn’t read my message or has been driven over by a car while walking and typing.

Words of praise: @SAMUTPRAKAN Travel magazine

Words of praise: @SAMUTPRAKAN Travel magazine

There is a monthly magazine @SAMUTPRAKAN Travel by Samut Prakan Provincial Administrative Organization which I can only call "perfect": articles on various subjects written by people who love and know what they are doing, suitable format and printing, bilingual English and Thai, and distributed for free (I get my copy at Ibis Hotel reception). 

A judgement I have given only once before: 
Words of praise: THAILAND 180º by George Edward Giunca

Here picture of covers of back issues (first must have been June 2014) I own (Vol.1/No.1 and 2/6 are missing):



Famous attractions in Samut Prakan province are Erawan Museum, Ancient Siam = Mueang Boran, Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang วัดบางพลีใหญ่กลาง with longest reclining Buddha in Thailand (53 m, the one in Wat Pho is 47 m), Wat Asokaram วัดอโศการาม and Bang Krachao บางกระเจ้า. 

Update 3jun2018: Seems to have discontinued. For months, I couldn't get a copy in Ibis Sathorn hotel or TAT offices. 

Update 24sep2018: got current issue in TAT Sukhothai (they get 5 copies of each issue, no copies of previous issues left). It's online:

Gay activities Sep2015

Gay activities Sep2015

Details about dating Thai boys, Saranrom, DJ station, Banana Massage, Nature Boys, Screw Boys, Playboy Massage.

Tue 01.09.2015
Bus to Nong Ki (Buriram province), stay one night and meet old acquaintance. Wank together. He asks for financial support, I give him 500 Baht.

Wed 02.09.2015
Check hornet in Surin, receive plenty of messages, but don’t see anyone online who is my type in entire Surin province.

Fri 04.09.2015
Evening chat on Line with the cute boy Wut near Hua Lampong. He would like to meet, even come to my room. I suggest he take MRT, but he insists on tuk-tuk. It turns out he never used MRT! I won’t pay 200 (!!!) Baht for tuk-tuk ride (which might take an hour at 6 pm traffic jam). Try again another day (or rather arrange my travel that I can pick him up there and show him how to use MRT). Apart from that promising: has no money, wants me to take him shopping at Pratunam.

Saranrom one round 22:35-23:15 spot 29 available boys, some bordercases. All police boxes are manned with two men in uniform (crowd control), not related to Erawan shrine bombings, general security, they don’t interfere with activities.

A tuktuk driver saw me walking and stopped. He offered his services in finding boys or girls and made several attempts (he would switch off his engine when I stopped to talk, then I would say goodbye and continue walking, he would start engine, overtake me and chat me up again). You never know if he knows a place I don’t know, that hope was crashed when he suggested to take me to Patpong, and finally “boys here are no good” – the ultimate argument (have heard it elsewhere before).

Finally find a cute boy. He doesn’t want to come to my room, so we go to Sukhawadee hotel (260 Baht, 23:35-00:15; overnight price is 560 Baht). As far as I understand, reception retains ID of Thai nationals who are accompanied by a foreigner.

Right place and time to go to Sake disco, details separately.

Saturday 05.09.2015
Z calls me and needs a place to sleep. I wrote last month that he fooled me twice and I won’t let him into my room again, but today I’m absolutely sure I won’t bring a boy, and it doesn’t cost me anything, so I agree. But he has to wait 5 hours, I won’t let him stay alone while I’m away and I won’t change my plans (I could do shopping at Klong Toey market another day, but it’s on the way and right time). In hindsight, the whole story doesn’t add up. He is just back from Russia (funded by a Farang, I saw the travel documents), but his Farang friend certainly would give him some money to get started on return to Thailand, so he can’t be without money, work, and place to stay as he claims?

Paradise sauna in Ngamwongwan separate post.

Sunday 06.09.2015
More lies from Z: he needs money to go to Chiang Mai. Before he told me he will go there for holiday (which I understand as trip planned and sufficient funding available). He calls a Farang friend: not free. He wants me to call a common friend (who told me he doesn’t want to see Z again). He can’t go back to Lomchoey (I guess they are sick of his lies and tricks?). Upon leaving my room, he asks me for money for food, a firm “no” from me (see paragraph above, I can’t imagine his friend in Russia sent him back without money, and if he spent all the money in the week he has been back, that’s poor management.)

Sightseeing in Bang Na area, so I can go to Sukhumvit Soi 78 (State cinema and Safe House sauna) afterwards. Details separately.

On bus 46 (I could get off near my place or continue to Hua Lampong – more precisely Rong Mueang which is in walking distance), I message boy Wut at Hua Lampong. He is free and we can meet. 22:20 last message from him, arrive and call 22:45, no answer. Walk around and make some other interesting contacts. Catch the last MRT home.

Cross paths with Z. He tells me he has no place to sleep. I notice he has no backpack and wears different clothes than yesterday. We have the following conversation:

“Where is your backpack?”
“It’s in the bin.”
“Why is it in the bin?”
“I threw it away.”
“And the clothes you wore yesterday?”
“In the backpack.”
“Why did you throw them away?”
“I don’t need them any more.”
“Why do you lie to me? Good night.”

Now I know how to spot when he is lying: his lips are moving!

Not tired, time for my annual visit to DJ station. 150 Baht entry including one drink. Arrive 00:52, ground floor full (walking slow along the bar and very slow across the dancefloor), 2nd floor about 40 customers, 3rd floor empty. The bar/toilet/outside smoking on 2nd floor next to the metal cages (which were added around 2010) has been renovated since my last visit. Urinary and washing basins are clearly visible from dancefloor or seats, you can watch someone else at the urinary while dancing or having a drink! Renovated stairways down as well, now you can’t put your fingers around handrail (on the right side when going down). Several bordercases, exchange some looks, leave 02:28.

Monday 07.09.2015
Let Z stay one last night in my room, and tell him so and all my Farang friends who know him.

Tuesday 08.09.2015
Z gets up 3 pm and leaves soon after.

Wednesday 09.09.2015
Visit Wut on way back from Padung Klong Krung Gasem Market. Pay for their drinks and invite him to join me to watch fireflies in Bang Kra Jao with overnight stay (you could arrange for transport to get back to Bangkok on same day, but this is great occasion to add Samut Prakan to my list of province I stayed in and get Wut away from the others). We wants to go, but only on Saturday (because Sunday is his day off) and with another boy Dan (looks interesting as well). Now I have to arrange for accommodation for 3 (in one room!) and firefly watching!

At night Seed 23:09-00:57, of which about 1h 30 min spent on internet. Towel so-so. Music too loud, but you can remove the cable without tools to mute the loudspeaker. Up to 10 customers, some bordercases.

I notice two missed calls from landline numbers on my phone, and on way back another call: Z wants to stay over night. I tell him no and say goodbye. Some more calls during the rest of the month, but I stay firm.

Thursday 10.09.2015
Pass Arena Massage Silom Center: former place now construction work, moved to 3rd floor diagonally above.

Meet Farang friend in Silom Complex. Z is driving him crazy! Stroll along Silom, my all time favorite masseur is back at Thai Best Massage! If he had called me when he arrived, I would have gone to see him a few days after, but now is just an exploratory stroll because Top called me the afternoon that he has no money and wants to see me tonight.

Haven’t been in Soi 4 for a while, some changes: One Night Only is now a dog café (sic!) and construction work at Tapas. Update: One Night Only will soon be a German restaurant, the dog café is only in between.

Back home, call Top: he is still in his room. I guess he will not come tonight. Update: I guessed right!

Friday 11.09.2015
Go to meet my favorite massage boy. Massage and afters ok, but not as exciting as last year. I have the impression (both at The Nine Pradipat and now Thai Best) that the massage is rushed to pack as much massage into 60 min as possible and allow time for afters.

Afterwards go to Heaven sauna, details separate.

Saturday 12.09.2015
State cinema, details separate. 

Get phone number (and place/time/price details) of a boat driver for firefly watching at night.

In the evening to Hua Lampong to pick up the two boys for firefly watching. Arrive 18:05, they are not ready yet. In this case this was fortunate, soon after it started to rain. Wait for rain to stop. MRT to Klong Toey (to introduce them to the MRT), then taxi to pier. Call the boat driver: he says in his area it’s still raining and there will be no fireflies. Decide to go to Saphan Phut market. I suggest bus number 4, but Wut wants taxi because bus is slow and uncomfortable. Leave 20:00 by taxi. Walk around the market, then have dinner. I give Wut money to buy headphones for his mobile. Then taxi back and goodbye. Not much achieved, but set the stage for more.

Sunday 13.09.2015
Fantasia Lagoon Water Park at the Mall Ngamwongwan, stay about 18:15-19:05. Entry 200 Baht, head cover 10 (50 deposit), padlock for locker 20 (150 deposit). (I realized too late that that’s the rent for the lock; if you bring your own lock you could use locker for free.) Changing rooms, shower, toilet are one floor below cashier and all clean and well maintained. Why do they have a condomat in the changing room? Lockers are same level as cahier and water park. About 50 customers, no cute boys. Will some day make a post about water parks and public pools in Bangkok.

Shortly before leaving, I spot a promising looking boy with a friend in the shower/changing/toilet area. Make a detour to get a closer look, smile at him and he smiles back. I have to go up to my locker to get towel, when I’m back he is gone, but two changing rooms are occupied. With a mirror I could look through the gap under or above door. Linger around until they come out. Exchange smiles again. Chat the boy up, good English. Leave without exchanging contact information, but I linger around at the locker and ambush him with my name card when he comes up with his friend.

Walk to Paradise Sauna, details separately. Two calls from a number I don’t know. Chat on Line: the boy from the changing room. Invites me to join party at Fake Club on Saturday. He is gay and interested, but if I hadn’t approached him, he would not have approached me! Update: couldn’t reach him on Line on Saturday to exchange details about disco visit, stayed home.

Monday 14.09.2015
Déjà vu in Ladprao 122, details there.

Continue to Seed. About 10 customers, and when I reach top floor I spot two cute in the smoking room. Have a chat and a grope, they invite me to dark room where others join, so we have an orgy with about 5 participants. Not bad, worth the money and time.

I pondered going to Pattaya on Tuesday, but I wouldn’t find anything better then the orgy there, so I cancel Pattaya trip. A good idea, I would have arrived just for the deluge! Anyway, I found going to Pattaya every other month (last trip was in August, next will be in October) brings a hint of excitement, whereas only one month between trips is not enough.

Tuesday 15.09.2015
Meet Farang friend for dinner in Patpong. Medium to heavy rain thwarts all other plans (Saranrom). Sit the rain out, my friend returns home, I have a stroll in the area.

Poke head into Screwboys: 23:20 show in progress, 3 coyote boys on stage, some more elsewhere, not worth buying a drink.

Soi Twilight quiet, all bars open to the soi few if any customers.

Former Fuse Pub, then Bangkok Bounce, is now Zip Club (currently under construction, will open Oct 1st).

Wednesday 16.09.2015
Laem Tong cinema in Klong Toey in the afternoon. Details there as comment.

In the evening, Top calls me. I am eating at a restaurant, send him directions by SMS. He finds it without further call. With other boys, that would have required multiple calls, but this one is far more intelligent than the average. Meet on the street and go to my room, but I’m preparing for a run and won’t let him stay alone. Separate 6 pm (he asks for money, I give him 100), he wants to come back later and I tell him I will call him 8 pm. Call him 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm, no reply. Second time he doesn’t come and I can’t reach him. Have to address this somehow next time we meet.

At night (1 am) play Camfrog (room Gay_4_Guy_Tiger) about 30 minutes to quantify how useless it has become. Open 100 cameras one after the other (that is about 19 seconds wait for signal and 1 second watch for each), of which

32 display nothing (black or wall of room or indistinguishable because blurred)
25 display body without face (from fully dressed to nude and penis)
24 display face (I’m generous in counting, often only half of a face from nose down)
15 display empty room
4 display pre-recorded video or picture

With pro version (payable, allows you watch multiple cameras at once) it would be viable, but the free version (only one camera at a time) is a waste of time.

Thursday 17.09.2015
Banana Club Sukhumvit Soi 11 (will move to Soi 23 in Nov 2015) open 15-22 (if you have a reservation, to 24). 60 min oil massage 650 + 700 minimum tip, 90 min 800 + 1000 minimum tip. No other choices. Read here as well: http://www.nickysgaythailand.com/gay-bangkok/banana-club/. Manager explains the procedure to me and I have the impression he is genuinely interested in my well-being. About 15 boys available, they sit in about 5 m distance and you can pick one while sitting and drinking. Locker room like sauna. Masseur showers with you before and after massage (not just sharing a shower, but washing you). Level of massage table like bed, no music in room. One minor complaint: his fingernail on thumb was long, I could feel it a few times on my skin. The boy I chose was a bordercase, so I pondered if I leave it at massage (and still tip the minimum tip, why spoil a good massage with so-so sex), but after turning around he got me hard quickly and slipped a condom on my cock, applied lube and rode on me before I could make up my mind. Everything in place (condom, lube, tissue). Good massage and good afters, clean and well maintained and well run, full recommendation based on one visit. Will be back some day.

Saturday 19.09.2015
Saranrom 22:30-23:25 one round, 25 boys, none of them my type. There was an event with road blocked for cars on northern end of palace.

Sunday 20.09.2015
Silom with a Farang friend. Have a look into Super A: about 5 boys, none of them my type. Golden Cock about 5 boys, all fully dressed. Nature Boys 9 (!) boys and one customer. Stay 21:30-22:07. Two more boys come in (on previous visits, they had 3 to 5 boys). No rotation. It only takes a minute until I see the first cock, contrary to boys in Golden Cock fully dressed.

Have a stroll in Soi Twilight (spot boys fully clothed on X-Boys stage), then to Screw Boys. Stay 22:30-00:03. 14 boys and 2 customers when we enter. More boys and customers come during the course of my stay, during show audience was full. Slow rotation, music too loud, smoking allowed (and becomes unpleasant later). Sit through the show:

23:11 stage empties (then three minutes nothing to see)

(Two cute Asian customers come in, staff leads them to a table with view to stage blocked by a column, they leave. I was hoping they would sit next to me, my corner could seat 4 people.)

23:43 end of show, boys back on stage

Overall, nothing to write home about. Too much ladyboy, big cock show poor. I wonder why the audience fills up for the show, do all these people really come for the show?

Some boys I would take for free (10, 60, 92 I had twice last year but don’t like his current hairdo), and 19 was a stunner. Can live with the tattoo (a wheel and two wings?) on his upper back. Their chessboard underwear tucked in so it looks like briefs looked great. But I spotted him smoking, which is a turn off. While I was waiting for smile from him, other customers called him over. Interaction looked promising.

On my way home walk past Playboy and spot a boy who is cute. After some pondering, decide for a massage. Boy was outside in jeans, but appears in massage room in boxers, a good start. The “door” in Playboy massage rooms is just an optical barrier. Massage good, after turning around he asked if I want more and if 1000 is ok, I agree. (I used to tip 1000 for massage with happy ending, then reduced to 800 this month. But here won’t spoil the first impression, can still tell him next time I will tip 800 from now on, especially as he told me he cannot bottom when I fingered him.) Take off his clothes, have my hands all over his body (he has warm hands, but skin temperature so-so), finally wank together. Exchange phone number, I will be back some time.

General note on massage: the boy in Thai Best has some awesome technique with his ulna on my back, the boy in Playboy with thumb on nape of neck. But erotic part is missing (from leg up or from back down, they just stop before it gets interesting: butt crack, perineum and scrotum). Whereas the boy in Magic Hands 2 does a great erotic massage, but is not so much my type (too pale, too fat). Have to ask him to write down in Thai what he does and pass it to the other boys?
