I'm leaving Bangkok on Wednesday night, and I'm already missing the place.

I've got to go back to the USA for divorce wrap-ups. I will be back, but maybe after a trip to South America. Stopping for a couple of nights in Dubai on the way back to the USA.

I've barely scratched the surface of this place, it's a true world city that has surprises on every street.

I was sitting out on the street with some food vendors, drinking Leo with them and eating Som Tam and grilled chicken. It doesn't get any better, I was thinking.

I tapered down on a couple of women I had, kept one I call my Thai Mommy on, because she takes care of me so well, and played the field a little. Still haven't found the optima yet, mostly because I'm too prone to meeting middle-aged women who aren't exactly difficult, and I don't turn them down. It eats up time. My game is pretty simple - looking directly into their eyes, smiling, international man of mystery.

I went to an expat social event last week, at a Thong Lor wine bar. Met a Chinese university professor on holiday. A 40ish plain jane, but it was so obvious it was on for her, it turned me on. So we had a one night - one day thing before she got on the plane the next night.

Then there was the Thai Chinese woman in her 30s who was heavier than her profile pictures indicated, but after the fact told me she had been masturbating to Asian woman / white man porn for a long time. Happy to make your fantasies come true.

I've learned a lot from this board, and had the privilege of meeting Fisto, THC, and Chris in Manila. At 57, I have definitely slowed down, but life is not over, and when I see the ex, I'll have a smile on my face thinking of the six or seven women who will be thinking of me right then.

How hot are they? Get your dick wet?

That one was not really hot and such an idea did not cross my mind until I started to suck her tits.
Last night a local gay dude tried to game me... Something must be wrong with this place or with me.

I'm not sure how others feel, but I would like to hear details about at what point you found out that she was a ladyboy, and then when you did, what was your reaction? Did you make some kind of mistake b/c I thought that if you asked, they will usually tell you that they are a ladyboy. But then when you find out and you had not suspected, then you may get a little pissed off, no? And say: "WTF? why didnt you tell me you were a ladyboy, you fucker?" That's probably some variation of what i would say... but you cannot be sure exactly how you are going to react, until you are in the circumstances and you find out the deal.

Northern, how did it go down with you? can you provide some details?

My patience for deaf prostitutes is officially all used up.

Been enjoying your travel log BB.

First thing I thought of when I read that line:

"Only on the RVF....."

Maybe that would make a good thread?

What's the dealio BB, is this a frequent occurrence, or maybe something that is coincidentally happening with you? I had never heard of any particular issue of deaf prostitutes until now, but in my daily life I do not come across prostitutes that frequently, and I suppose that it would just be an phenomenon when a guy is traveling in places with a lot of interactions with prostitutes?

All it took was one deaf mute to wear out my patience. lol

Pet peeve in Cambodia - waiters and waitresses who hover over your shoulder looking at your computer screen while you're trying to work. It's so foreign to them that people actually make a living online that they just don't get it. Sucks because I typically enjoy doing my work in a public place.

Restaurant staff essentially just chased me out the door by not letting me focus, even after I mentioned the issue to them. Guy handed me a "how was your experience?" card after I got up visibly frustrated and packed my shit to leave too. lol

"Um, now's not a good time, Bud."

On second thought, maybe filling it out could have made some progress towards a policy on the matter...

Don't leave us hanging man. You gotta tell us what happened, how it unfolded, the before, during and the after event all in very detailed manner!

Lemme get my pop corn while you type about this event.

Ouch. Hope you'll be ok.

Fun thing to try might be to mention in a hearing that you're cruising SEA currently and see how the opposing counsel will try to make that something about your "character".

Yeah, but it's all by agreement, should not be a contested hearing. If there is, then I can talk about my five years in SWA.

Anyways, my last couple of nights in BKK I hooked up with (another) widow who owns a nice apartment with a huge roof deck.

Hmmmm, got me thinking.

SP5, is this the creation of a fictitious place for the purpose of evasion, while at the same time creating the impression that you are cooperating in your sharing of information? B.c if they ask, "where is SWA?," then what would be your response to that?

You were thinking about going on the deck and jumping off?

There's a very fancy Korean coffee shop scene here. I say Korean, but most of them are pretty Italian in style - some even double as Italian bakeries. I've been using them while working or studying, kicking back with some green tea, coffee, or a smoothie.

Anyhow, met a super-friendly old Korean man tonight. I went to this extremely ritzy coffee shop/bar - the nicest I've seen yet in town, with a guy playing sax in the courtyard at night. I was wearing slacks and sandals and a v-neck - felt severely under-dressed and a bit self-conscious, but I only came to work on my laptop at first so hadn't given it much thought.

There was some fancy bbq out back. Thinking it was a restaurant, I popped my head in to have a peep (as the coffee shop didn't have much food), looking for a menu as it might be too expensive for a Tuesday-night dinner, and this old man came and invited me to sit down and treated me to free barbecue.

Turns out it wasn't a restaurant but just some grub he has cooked up for his friends every night. He had about five Cambodian women out there working just to cook him and his buddies dinner and he kept having them pile pork on my plate. Good stuff. He set a half-pint of Korean whiskey in front of me too but I only took two sips as I've been cutting back and it didn't really interest me. Just sipped at my glass to be polite but didn't finish it, and he didn't seem to mind.

Afterwards, he brought me into the coffee shop and we had some espresso - he covered the bill. Old man was an ex-commando in S.Korea - base jumper - and is a black belt Tae Kwon do master. His brother owns one of the fanciest local nightclubs in Phnom Penh - I've never even been to PP and even I already knew the name of the place. His wife and kid showed up (kid speaks 4 or 5 languages and goes to an expensive international school out here, with Filipino teachers hmmmm) and we talked for a while. At first his kid seemed stand-offish but when he got up to leave he asked me to come back at 1pm tomorrow and meet with him and his cousin for lunch and to practice English. Old man told me if I don't show the kid will be pissed. lol

Going to see if I can get the kid to take me by his school and wing me if there's any hot Filipinas teaching.

Old man brought me in his shop after coffee to show me around. He sells some type of mushroom that supposedly cures cancer to Korean tourists - 500 gram bag was $350 (business opportunity?). Wasn't trying to sell me any - just showing off his biz, and even gave me a glass of tea made from the stuff while we were walking around. Interesting energy boost.

Apparently he has an apartment above his other shop and insists I come see it tomorrow because he doesn't want me paying $10 a night for my hotel and is offering me to stay at the apartment for free - a/c and all.

When I left he insisted on getting in his vehicle and driving me. Wouldn't take no for an answer.

Must admit that even I was a little suspicious of how friendly this guy was, but I'm usually pretty keyed in if something is awry, and I didn't sense any lurk vibes. And then again, I've yet to ever see a westerner socializing with the Koreans out here, so maybe it was just the novelty factor and that I wasn't shy about walking right into their party.

Will feel it out, and if I take the room will try to offer some rent.

EDIT: Wierd - took a piss a couple hours after I left that guys shop and it smelled like that mushroom tea already. Stuff went right through me.

Great story BB.

What club in PP is it? Drop me a line via PM if you want.

Thanks.

Message sent, though looking the place up it turned out to be not the one I was thinking and more of a foreigner/freelancer spot.

Thanks for the compliment, Calihunter. Wasn't sure if Cambodia stories sans-debauchery would be interesting enough.

Asians are big on food/drink. If they offer to share food+drink w/you, its generally a sign of acceptance. Props! Usually koreans are pretty insular...

Another reason to check out the international school - it could be a lead to that business doing U.S. college admissions and visa counseling.

One reason I liked that idea - it would take close to zero start-up capital.

BB don't be a fool!

That "pork" was just human flesh!

You are next on the menu if you stay in that death trap of an apartment!

They may not be interested in BB - b/c probably BB would taste like cardboard? not to tasty in my humble opinion.

SWA is where the real men play. SEA is the rookie region.
