Hello, dear Fellow Travelers!<\/p>\n

Well, here I am again in Bangkok, sitting on the little balcony of my usual apartment at Hyde Condo on Soi 13, writing about the first two days of yet another Thai adventure.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m taking advantage of this Sunday morning while I\u2019m fresh as a daisy\u2014unfortunately\u2014because I called it an early night yesterday. Maybe I should have skipped that Diavola pizza, but these things happen. So, let\u2019s start from the beginning: the journey. <\/p>\n

The Air Dolomiti flight from Florence to Vienna was quick and pleasant, also because I had booked the outbound journey in Business Class, with all the privileges that come with it (if you want to know more, you can read the dedicated article Here<\/a><\/em>). The only minor inconvenience was having to point out to some German guy that he was mistakenly sitting in my seat. I hate having to do that, but I understand the world is also populated by idiots, and the whole thing was sorted out within a minute, with the proper apologies. I had actually noticed the guy even before boarding, because he was talking loudly on the phone without shutting up for a second. Maybe he just lives to annoy everyone around him, who knows. <\/p>\n

Anyway, the seat next to me was empty, a snack was served after takeoff, I had a good coffee, and in no time I was landing in Vienna, where the Business Class ticket gave me access to the dedicated lounges. The most convenient one for my gate was the Austrian Lounge. It was quiet and not very crowded, with a good buffet and handy lockers where you can leave your luggage during your time at the airport, which in this case was around six hours. That was probably one of the reasons the Business Class fare was relatively cheap, but considering the overall situation, it was more than acceptable. The downside for me was that there was no smoking area, so I went in and out several times to use the smoking room about twenty meters away from the lounge. The wait was pleasant anyway. I sampled a bit of everything and drank just as much, but no nap, because I wanted to sleep during the flight. <\/p>\n

At around 11:00 PM the gate opens, I grab my backpack from the lounge and make my way past \u201cthe commoners\u201d to board with the \u201cVIPs\u201d (I\u2019m usually one of the commoners too, so let me enjoy the moment\u2014we\u2019re joking here). I reach my single seat on this Austrian 777, which is basically like the famous \u201cthrone,\u201d just with one less side table. Not bad at all, especially considering I paid just under \u20ac300 more than Economy. I\u2019d say that was a pretty good deal. <\/p>\n

The onboard service was impeccable. Austrian pays particular attention to catering, and before takeoff the onboard chef came around wearing her distinctive chef\u2019s hat\u2014who, incidentally, was a young and pretty blonde\u2014to take orders for breakfast and the first course of the meal service. As for the rest, there were starters, snacks, and desserts to choose from directly on the trolley. The coffee service was also available throughout the flight: you just had to ask and choose what you wanted. Everything was very good, I would say. The cabin crew were extremely competent and attentive as well\u2014incidentally, all women in this case, at least in Business Class. This time I ate and slept so well that I did not even feel the need to use the inflight entertainment, except to listen to a bit of music during breakfast and before the descent into Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. And what can I say? Even though the fleet is being updated with the new Business Class cabin, the old one still holds up very well, at least in my humble opinion and based on my personal experience. <\/p>\n

Getting off the plane among the first passengers has its advantages too. We are at Suvarnabhumi\u2019s satellite terminal, and after taking the internal train to the main terminal, within a few minutes I am at immigration, where thanks to the Business Class ticket I can use the fast lane reserved for Thai passports and big spenders, so to speak. Here comes the second small delay. In my line there is an elderly lady in a wheelchair who takes longer than usual to get through the formalities, and behind her there is an Arab family with three small children who are not exactly easy to manage. Still, after about fifteen minutes it is my turn, and two minutes later I am finally free on Thai soil. <\/p>\n

This time I do not even go outside for a smoke like I usually do. I have two rather heavy carry-on bags with me, so I prefer to head straight downstairs to exchange some money. That takes me about ten minutes at SuperRich\u2014the usual orange booth not far from the Airport Rail Link ticket office. <\/p>\n

Usually, at this point I buy a tourist SIM so I can stay connected straight away, even though the airport does have free Wi-Fi. This time, however, I discovered that by downloading the TAGTHAI<\/a> app\u2014the official app approved by Thailand\u2019s Ministry of Tourism\u2014among its various discounts and benefits there is also the option to get a DTAC SIM with 24 hours of internet completely free. It is not really about saving money, since the value is only 49 Baht, but in my case it is convenient because I decided to buy a regular SIM later rather than a tourist one, so I can keep the same number over the next few years. For anyone interested in this offer, it is worth mentioning that it can only be redeemed at certain locations: on the second floor of the airport and at the kiosk at Phaya Thai BTS station. In any case, I will dedicate an article to the app as soon as I find the time, because I did not know about it before and it can actually be useful. <\/p>\n

I get into the apartment at around six in the evening. After taking a quick shower, I head downstairs to stock up on essential supplies at 7-Eleven, then take my time making my way over to 7 Heaven on Soi 33 for the inaugural blowjob of this trip. As I enter the alley, I am pleased to see that Queen and Princess Massage still have a good selection of very attractive girls, but this is not the time. At 7 Heaven there are six girls available, including Lina, Mini, Lin, Beer, and two others I do not know. I choose one of the latter, a girl called Whim. She is quite cute and definitely has something about her, but the service is a little too clinical and detached, one of the least engaging experiences I have had there. Luckily, it is the first one after the journey, so I still manage to get the job done with satisfaction despite everything, but I would not recommend her. There are better options. <\/p>\n

Later that evening, as soon as a little half-hour biblical downpour finally ends, I meet up with a friend who lives here and another traveler for pizza on Soi 8, then we move on to Nana Plaza. First we stop at Red Dragon, which still has a good stable of lively little fillies, but that place has never really inspired me much, so I move on with the other traveler to Bunny 5. There I meet a girl who would not normally fit my usual tastes looks-wise, although she is certainly not ugly, and she turns out to be lively and fun, earning herself the first drink. Then she earns a few more. Later, two more travelers join us on the sofas, and when both of them eventually leave after barfining their respective girls, I stay another ten minutes with mine before heading off as well, because in truth I already had a late-night appointment with one of the girls from the Magic Table whom I had met on my previous trip. <\/p>\n

Two games of pool, a couple of drinks, and then I head upstairs with her for a couple of hours of fun. We come back down, have another couple of drinks together, and then I call it a night, carrying all the tiredness from the journey but definitely satisfied with this first night in the capital. <\/p>\n

The following day I sleep until 1:00 PM, unpack my backpacks, and put my things away. Then, of course, I head back to 7 Heaven, where I choose another one of the new girls I do not know. Unfortunately, her name escapes me at the moment; I will add it as soon as I remember. She is very good, though, and definitely lives up to the place\u2019s usual standard. She is certainly not the prettiest one there, but she is absolutely tireless, and before the time is up she practically sucks my soul out, earning herself a small tip for the effort as well. <\/p>\n

Feeling relaxed and considerably lighter, I head back toward the BTS and stop at the EmQuartier shopping mall, where I buy two identical pairs of trousers, three T-shirts, and a shirt from Uniqlo, which always has some nice little things that suit my nocturnal drifter style. ^^<\/p>\n

That evening, after a good Pad Thai at the usual Krua Khun Puk on Soi 11\/1, I stop by Orange next door to say hello to a friend. At some point another familiar character shows up, someone I seem to run into far too often whenever I come to Bangkok\u2014a fact he confirms himself when he sees me. Still, I am always happy to see familiar faces again, especially when it happens by chance. After a year, I also run into that troublemaker Ing again. She has gone back to working at the venue, but she has brought quite a few extra kilos with her. A real shame, because she is only a little over twenty and, despite still being in the process of fixing those rather randomly arranged teeth with braces, she would actually be quite cute if she kept herself in shape. But I have known her for a while now, and it is always a pleasure to see her again. <\/p>\n

The rest of the evening is almost a copy of the previous one. I head to Nana Plaza, this time to Angel Witch, where the usual stalker is waiting\u2014the one who, for the past four years, ever since I fucked her once, somehow spots me instantly every time and starts looking for attention, apparently without understanding that I was drunk that night and ended up taking her back to my room almost by accident. ^^ I manage to avoid her anyway by focusing on one of her colleagues, a petite girl with a very nice little body. If she also had a pretty face, I might give her some serious consideration, but that is not the case. I watch a couple of shows and then head back to Bunny 5, where in less than thirty seconds I find the girl from the previous night sitting on my lap. Oh well, I am quite happy to keep her there. A drink here, some grinding there, and I am having fun. Eventually one of her colleagues joins us, this one with silicone tits. They sandwich me between them and somehow I end up with my dick out and two hands on it. Pretty enjoyable, I would say. I let the two little minxes tease me for a while, then I leave. I head back to the Magic Table because there is a certain urge I want to satisfy. The usual two little troublemakers are there, so we play, drink, and hang out. Then I notice another girl who catches my eye more than the others, petite just the way I like them. I ask her colleagues to call her over and she joins the table. I like her. She is not much of a talker, but she plays along, and there is something about her that appeals to me. So I try her out as well in one of the rooms upstairs. Damage: just over 4,000 Baht, drinks included. I absolutely need to try her again when I do not have an entire wine cellar\u2019s worth of alcohol in my stomach, but it was good. After that I stay there until closing, well after sunrise. At 7:30 AM I stop at Burger King for a sandwich before heading home, and apparently things are still lively at Orange on Soi 11\/1 too, because on my way back I run into Ing as she is leaving\u2014or rather, she is the one who screams my name like a lunatic when I walk past. Oh well. ^^ <\/p>\n

Yesterday I opened my eyes when it was almost 3:00 PM. I had slept like a rock, but apparently not enough, because after eating a banana and a little sweet I had picked up at 7-Eleven, I fell asleep again until seven in the evening. Then I get a message about the usual Saturday night pizza at Vesuvio on Soi 8. I order my usual Diavola, which is always good, and afterwards we go for a walk around the bars on Soi 7. It had been a long time since I was last there. One of the resident guys tells me that Baimon has taken over a little bar together with a few other girls, and sure enough she is there all by herself\u2014but there are four of us. I am almost tempted to stop there; I will not hide the fact that I still have a soft spot for her despite everything. But I say hello and keep moving. Maybe I will come back another time, on my own and with more time. We end up squeezed into another bar where one of the resident guys already knows the girls. And this is where the decline begins. The girls are not even bad-looking, but there is no room to move, the music is a complete mess and blends together with the music from the three bars around us. I also think that, for some strange reason, this particular corner must be the hottest spot in all of Bangkok. I start sweating badly and feeling more out of it than I really should be while sober. I stay for a while and buy a drink for a girl dressed like a hostess, who might actually appeal to me at another time, but I am starting to feel pretty rough and I do not even feel like talking. Things do not improve, so as soon as the others decide to leave, I give up, say goodbye, and head back to the apartment to figure out whether I should go out again or not. <\/p>\n

In the end, my stomach clearly wants nothing to do with the idea, so I decide to call it a night for good. Better to lose one pointless evening than feel like crap the next day as well. These things happen, and I am not exactly short on time. Today I think I will start early and get up to some good stuff, then I will see what happens tonight. The important thing is to go with the flow without making too many plans. That has never really been my style; whenever I can, I prefer to just wander around like a stray. <\/p>\n

And for now, that\u2019s all from your Editor in Bangkok. I\u2019ll catch up with you again in a few days. I know I have not given you much in the way of news yet, but I had a couple of things I wanted to get off my chest, and I have not even started getting serious yet. ^^ <\/p>\n

Bye-bye Fellow Travelers!<\/p>\n<\/div>
