Bangkok: Tumbling tumbleweeds...
I just spent a fun week in Bangkok (and have posted part of this on Giotto's thread), Chronologically it reads backward (huh?)
[b][i]Yesterday, I thought I saw a tumbleweed on the motorway on the way to the airport...[/i][/b]
Once at Suvarnabhumi I was informed that my 1:50 pm Air Asia flight to Krabi was canceled, (no e-mail or SMS). No information as to why, of course, but I suspect it was for lack of passengers. I then had to wait five hours for the next flight (which was about 3/4ths full). While killing time, I noticed on the schedule board that a number of domestic flights had been canceled. Somehow, by the grace of the travel gods I was back on Koh Lanta by 9 pm. [i]Amazing Thailand![/i]
Suvarnabhumi, the world's 18th busiest airport, was eerily quiet for December 10. In fact, I saw many more workers than travelers. No lines (ques for you non-yanks) even at the AA check-in counters. I saw no indication of the PAD takeover except for the dozen or so policemen sitting (sleeping?) under a tent at a checkpoint about 2km from the terminal. I wonder why they even bother to carry guns? I did hear, though, (from reliable unnamed sources close to the queen), that the PAD looted all the whiskey and smokes from the King Power shops.
[b][i]Thailand is looking a lot more like drug-war addled Mexico as each day passes...[/i][/b]
At the big motorway turn leading to the terminal I noticed that one of the biggest highway billboards is now blank, and the big flat screen TV ads are fading quickly. Lots of "For Rent" signs on buildings everywhere along the motorway. Many shops are closing in the busy Silom District, too.

Two nights ago at about 9 pm, I joined some friends for a drink at the trendy spendy Vbar at the big Sofitel Hotel on Silom Rd. . In the hotel lobby, there was no one other than employees when we walked in, and upstairs, just a few folks in the bar. Saw some great views of Bangkok from 37-floors above the quiet madness.
Later on, we went to the Cleo Beer Bar on Patpong Soi 2 (right outside the Star of Light). The ancient beer bar turned out to be way more fun than the Sofitel, (and the drinks were a lot cheaper). They've got a few cute & friendly, young girls there, (check out Khun Mai), beers at only 70-80 baht, and the bar fine (Cheap Charlie alert!) for [i]Isaan's finest[/i] is only 400 baht. Conveniently, if you are impatient, bored and horny, SOL is right next door.
Saturday afternoon, I stopped by my favorite Silom Road massage shop, "Happy Massage," next to the deserted Narai Hotel. There were 10 girls working and so far that day there had been no customers. Before ascending to the 4th floor for my regular FS massage, (btw, [i]I love Thailand[/i]), I gave Khun Net, (my favorite Happy lady), 500 baht to buy the shop girls dinner. That way, to my relief, all the lovely ladies with the sad, dark eyes were now theoretically happy and [i]im lao[/i] (full), at least until the next meal (and they [i]love[/i] me)! There are some cute young lassies waiting for customers there...check it out!
[b][i]Fine dining...[/i][/b]
One evening after I got a buzz-cut on Soi 5, we enjoyed a meal at the old lounge lizard's paradise, [i]The Check-Inn.[/i] If you haven't been there, it's tucked back from the sidewalk on Sukhumvit btwn. Sois 5 & 7. Good steak, pretty Filipinas singing, and some MILF-type [i]hostesses[/i] waiting for interested parties to take them away. My gig liked the [i]tum yum kung[/i] and the Baileys on the rocks for dessert.
Another good meal was had at the non-descript [i]Lek Seafood[/i] right next to the Chong Nonsi BTS Station. Squid, clams, fried fish -- it was all good [i]& cheap[/i] (about 750 baht for 3 people with beers and tip)!
[b][i]Wanna buy a watch?[/i][/b]
Only bad part of the trip was learning that my favorite old Omega Seamaster (Sean Connery 007 model) is [i]toast[/i] after blowing out the stem while diving at 25 meters below the Andaman Sea off of Palau Weh last month. The Omega shop wanted 11,000 baht to fix it (yikes -- three months and parts from Switzerland!). Maybe I can sell it for parts on eBay? Anyone know where to buy a watch in Bangkok?
I'll be back through the [i]City of Angels[/i] in a week or so and I'm already looking forward to more fun and games. In the meantime, I need to walk a lot on the beach to work off the kilo I gained last week.
But, what will January bring? Lottery tickets? More Elections? Foreigner Kidnappings? Food Riots? [i]Lower prices???[/i]
MAY MAssage (Asoke Soi 1)
I had a meeting soi 19 yesterday and was only steps away from the sub soi of MAY Massage.
From last week's experience, the massage was pretty good so I decided to go and relax there again (Not thinking about Extras)
there was about 4 guys and 2 ladies waiting on the balconny when I arrived and they all greeted me with a deep smile.
I have no idea who May is but the same lady/cashier from last time was here (cute girl) and she remembered me: same last time?
I replied positively. It felt good to be recognised, little touches like this are priceless in building a good customers base. Bravo!
I was escorted to the Massage room and asked to strip. The lady I had was a little older (35?) not unpleasant looking and I did not ask her name so I do not know it.
Before the massage started she asked me how I wanted my massage: strong? "not strong" I asked.
The massage was very good, It really felt like she was inside my head! as freaky as this sounds. Everytime I got thinking that she could apply more pressure on a certai area (my lower back), she did without me saying a word.
I flipped over and she started to massage my arms, chest and then gave me a strong abdominal massage (a first for me) and I loved it! slowly but surely she made her way towards my groin and started a balls massage (a little painful) then a slow HJ.
I told her that I did not fancy a HJ (not enough time for me to enjoy and come) and she offered to extend the massage by 30 mn or 1 hour. I declined and asked if BJ was ok with her? (she is stroking my dick all this time we are talking). She hesitated and then said it was ok but with condom.
Although I declined, her attitude stayed very positive!
I took a shower in the VERY clean bathroom, got dressed and left.
I gave the lady 100 thb tip and, if this is the level of service and attitude MAY massage gives its customers then, I will certainly be back!!

Put another lamb chop on the Bar-B!
[QUOTE=Mick Licker]Huh? :confused:I put on weight when in Australia but lose weight when in Thailand. If you are putting on weight, then that means not enough Sexercise.:D[/QUOTE]
I read recently that Aussies lead the world in obesity (outranking even us fat Yanks). Must be something in the diet Downunder? What do your people eat that makes them so fat?
Living in Thailand means I get all the sex I want [i]all the time.[/i] I know it's rough, but some of us have to do it. Sorry Mick...I know you live for your "health" trips to the LOS.
My new gig likes to eat. By Thai women's standards, she's a big girl, (160cm; 62kg+/-), with very healthy appetites. I'm a big guy (186cm; 112kg), so it's nice to have a woman with some meat on her lovely bones. Sharing great meals after great sex is not a hardship. Absolutely no complaints here!
G'day mate!
