Woke up at 630am today and got ready, ate a nice stack of bacon’s and omelette. Spoke to the manager Kevin and informed him that when I came from airport I took a shuttle from Don luang to Siam Center. Which is wrong, the shuttle was supposed to go somewhere then I changed bus. Anyway will speak to him tomorrow.

Got into grab to century mall, there’s a short cut on the right side, no need to uturn.

Seems like people who book Klook are punctual most people are gathered by 830, used the bathroom at a nearby restaurant. We moved out around 845.

Arrived at Bang pa in parking lot at 9.41am, just barely a 1 hour drive. Guide gave a long talk in English and a short one in Korean during the drive, mostly about historical facts during a Burma and Thai war that ended with the looting of Ayutthaya.

A good king eventually rebuilt it and brought with him a taste of European architecture. At the center there’s a Chinese temple style building, it looks more like a centerpiece than the larger euro mansion around it. Supposedly sponsored by traders of gov official as sign of friendship.

Very nice park, walked a full hour and took some nice photos. Bought a lemon soda on the way out. Surprisingly no tourist trap price, just 40 baht.

Bus departed 11 sharp. OK these are some fine group, perhaps I got lucky eh? The second one is at some fake tourist trap floating market because real one don’t exist anymore. Not my words, the tour guides.

The elephant ride for 300 baht is scammy though, asked the guide some opinion on it and he just goes hmm, guess its normal. Feeding the big mammals are much more fun. Great guys.

Waited for the boat to start alone, not much tourist on the weekdays. We rode around the tepid green water, was it originally a lake I wonder? Or just some man made stuff too. Not much photo here, just rickety wooden shop on the side with school children’s alongside it.

The boat didn’t stop at any checkpoint, could have pushed some sales to some elite restaurant heheh, and we ended up right where we start.

I got off and walked around, mostly food stuff, some tailor shops and souvenirs.

Wanted to try some ice drink snacks but avoided it for uncooked water issue. Got a bottled ocha and walked around the stalls near the elephant stand. There’s a muay thai ring or gym but it’s made with solid bamboo guess it’s just for performance.

There’s a small arcade with mostly ufo catchers and some pirated machine running some initial d type games.

Should have took a photo of em kids playing.

Decided to go back to the waiting point restaurant and ate there, big kitchen should be safe. Pick safe food anytime, woot.

Spend time writing this instead of browsing news. Habits man gotta create good ones.

Ordered a plate of fried rice with pork. Just gonna take my time here until the bus arrive at 1.30pm.

We went to the sleeping Buddha for the next stop, maybe 15min away. Time given is also 15min. The attraction is the statue of the sleeping Buddha with some flat ruins behind.

Another short distance away is the Wat Phra Si something, which is a unesco heritage site. It’s a huge compound with many stupa surrounding the center ruins. It’s a shame all the Buddha status has the head stolen.

The last stop is Wat Maha tat. Its another huge compound with stupa and a center compound that cannot be accessed. Supposedly there is a deep chamber dug in to prevent thief. This is the place with the Buddha head stuck in the tree also.

Second last stop actually, there is a speed boat sunset ride. Its OK, not too epic with very few photography chance. I need to get a Nd filter and try shooting sunset with it. Got a few nice shot, let’s see what Lightroom can do.

The school of catfish during disembark was a nice surprise, splashed good by fishes.

We stopped at a petrol station and did some toilet thingy. At 6.10 we head home.

Spam pictures to friend and didn’t read twitter and shit, kept my own promise. Write the journal everyday, don’t care boring or what.

Damn, bts lady heard me wrong or some station has similar name phloen chit, has to uturn. The bus reached the station quite early though like 710.

Including walking to hotel, let’s see if I can get a grab from phloen chit.

Gonna get the Angus steak thingy and some dessert to wash it down with.

OK.. Grab passed me by and I got penalty, that sucks. End up walking back from the front side.

Got back and ordered a the sirloin, somehow the rib eye is more tasty, not sure if it’s different chef or what. Guzzle the dragon roll and apple crumble. Good meal. Chat a bit with eddy, checked my gear and get ready for bed. No debauchery tonight, rest early so tomorrow can hangout all night, barfine or something. Slept at 1030.

Had a walk around the Sukhumvit 22 Street, lots of parlor but whatever that’s out there are not even average. Walked 15min to the dream Heaven street, how the place has changed, all the ladies sitting out are wash up aunties, didn’t bother to check out the shop.

Oh well, nothing for now I suppose. Just chill a while at EmQuartier and try to find the yoghurt shop and try something nice I suppose. The good times are over in bkk, the bright side is that I was here when it was good.

Should I take the train back? Let’s take a look.

OK,EmQuartier is quite an impressive mall, with a nice water garden, and hanging ornament. The way the elite food section spiral down is a good design as it allows a clear view of all the restaurants around. It’s also directly connected to the bts phrom phong, very convenient to come.

Didn’t get any meal, so just head back and ate the snacks. Filled the bathtub and tried to get a slow bath then eddy crashed in. Has to end it quick.

Didn’t hit the pool after all, I ended taking a nap, same as eddy. Then we headed out to EmQuartier. Tried the misoya ramen but kinda crappy for mine. Should have grabbed more of the appetiser.

Got some ice cream after that… Forgot the name, mack and bolio? Some weird name. Supposedly America’s best but it’s more or less baskin quality. I think svenson is better.

We took some photos then head back.

I went out again and hit Woods bar, really good service, surprisingly manage to come, her English is fine so she understood my instructions.

Hit the ladyboy Mercury after that, took a very cute cosplayer looking lady…. Boy. OK she’s very demanding on getting some short time but the bar is literally empty, only saw a white guy walking after a while. Gave out some small tips to the other girls. And gave her another 100 when it’s done.

OK… I got assaulted again by 3 lady in the way to spanky. Let’s not talk about it. Lose another 300 here. Need to put up a stronger fight and tell them to fuck off.

Finally got into spanky, didn’t get to see a routine again. Oh well, just spend another 10min or so.

Bought a little classic beef on a stick on the way back, still taste the same as 5,6 years ago. Then finally took a grab home, driver manage to do a uturn this time.

Eddy was still working when I was back so I didn’t bother him with my tales, just ate my stuff and write this piece.

Need to collect gear before hitting the bed. Get ready for tomorrow’s adventure, yeah.

At the breakfast area now, let’s head to the pool and continue writing the story, plan out the day, don’t read twitter or whatever without a plan else you will just be scrolling.

OK today I will take it slow, just use the pool first, try out the jacuzzi.

1. Pool and jacuzzi
2. Plan Klook trip for safari
3. Go find dream Heaven or kiss massage around 2pm.
4. Come back use the pool, read a book
5. See if eddy got plan with gauri
6. Hangout at evening, nana again?

Thursday, full day safari, find eddy at night.

Friday? Cmon let’s come up with a rough plan.

1. Go out around same time in the morning
2. See some park?
3. Any nice mall with outdoor park?
4. Bird Park?
5. Any nearby zoo?
6. What do you like most?
7. Animals, outdoor thingy

Done, booked Ayutthaya tour for tomorrow better get out by 8 sharp, that means wake before eddy so doesn’t disturb him, check with him later.

And Friday I got a safari, same routine wake early before eddy and eat stuff.

Remember to bring the power bank, fully charged, take out the second charger so can charge both yeah.

Replace the meds container.

For today debauchery, gonna try the kiss massage. Then come back hit the pool and wait for eddy for dinner and maybe hit nana again solo or not.

Remember to take at 130 latest if confirmed by shop.

Ok ccontinuation of the day. Successfully met winnie… OK the conversations wasn’t what I expected but then I wasn’t some badass at guiding a conversation. Just a few thingy she pointed out was that I was living my life without direction, in the area of love. Not going to put too much thought about it but anyway I would rate this as a first thing for me.

OK then I took the train to Siam Paragon, the aquarium is nicer than my klcc aquarium. Watched the otter and penguin feeding. Had a nice collection of huge sharks. Took some nice photo, gotta print em all.

Headed to Ratchadaphisek by train. Walked nearly the whole stretch of the road span. Poseidon which used to be filled with top grade woman was now a place for aunties type with maybe one or two pretties.

Headed down to nataree side, what was an epic place turned into a food court outside. Little duck was next to it but it has a sign its not open for business. The last shop was opened though. There wasn’t much choice and I was about to go out when a nice one came in. Was the simulation being nice to me or I’m just making shit up?

Cute girl, with name of Fa. Flower in Chinese. Did the deed then wasted a bit of time waiting for the grab, let’s cancel it next time, don’t be too kind. The driver let me use the charger for 20minutes but its some slow ass charger. Hung at spanky until I got chased out. Then sat outside the twister bar, huge inside, got pestered by the lady, until she got a lady drink. Next time ask her to tell a story to worth your time before buying a drink. Everything is a negotiation, don’t pay first in this situation.

Eddy finally arrived, didn’t know he walked over from hotel. We took a quick round and ended up in rainbow, Ground floor. Has quite a nice selection of skinny ass girls with tiny waist and Long legs, hmm, probably helped by the heels. Gave a tip to a girl… Hmm probably eddy is right, just buy the ladies drink.

Got another cute skinny girls for ladies drink, groped a bit. Shown her some cute photos. Yeah I need to curate my photos into a nice collection of animals and nice scenery. Probably show my mom as well, for bonus points?

Eddy got pestered by some energetic girl with a blond dye. Also harassed by two huge waitress slash bouncer.

Around 1045 we walked back to hotel. Came back through the back lane.

Ordered some nice dine in, a steak for me and a chocolate mousse cake and some vege pad Thai for eddy. Ate while we watched the American wrestler. Oh yes, before that we had some berries and cherries. Better eat a bit more cherries.

Finished the meal and hit the bed immediately, tried to write a bit of journal before that but couldn’t finish it. So I wrapped it up during break fast the next day. Oh and conrad don’t allow slippers in the dining hall, not sure if this is a 5 stars thing or what. That’s a wrap, see you.

Started the day with Eddy telling me he ripped his pants, too bad he couldn’t wear mine.

Got some solo breakfast, had only a slice of bacon, need to control. Wtf, they got cream cheese for salad. Got filled good then went straight to the pool to fill my diary. Oh and research found out the good old nataree is gone, Sad!

Sat opposite the jacuzzi pool, need to change and come back here. Completed yesterday entries. Plan for today

1. Meet Minnie and have something at terminal 21
2. Go to paragon and see the aquarium.
3. See if dream Heaven reply me.
4. Pop a pill for prepping.
5. If not go walk thru Ratchadaphisek, take the huai kwang, haven’t use rabbit yet.
6. Meet eddy for dinner.
7. Hangout at nana or something.
8. Get tics for safari on weds or Thursday.

OK that’s all for now, going to hit the pool.

Written most part but forgot to publish. OK let’s do this again. Woke up around 8 then had a nice breakfast with a stack of bacon’s. Really good spread but the smoked salmon is a little tame compared to ikeas.

Took a walk around the nice pool and, there is a kid park and a small garden, very nice resort feel. Have yet to use the pool, definitely need to try on both morning and night.

Then eddy and me walked over to the adjoining mall, All Seasons and looked at stuff, saw an ad for a massage and bought some snacks, including ice cream which we ate at the pool. Had a discussion in local politics and stuff.

Went back to the room, eddy did his work thingy while I did some research.

OK here’s some name that I may need in the future

Poseidon and the road name Ratchadaphisek. Huai kwang Station. Nataree was closed in 2016, what a shame.

Another place is dream Heaven Massage, in Sukhumvit 33. Can Google the name place.

Other general tips, use soapy massage to Google, quite many choice. Install line and add the number. The admin will usually reply to the query, try go for this more active. Some other name, analisa massage, Kiss Bangkok Massage.

Bought a 1 month tinder account, instant cancel as usual. Try to hit up some girls but had a few weird reply. OK, count it as learning experience, still suck at dating, so no worries.

Eddy took some rest while I grabbed some profile pic around the hotel. Then we got ready and hit the mall massage, the room was small and a bit painful because we didn’t take the oil massage, OK body is a mess. Didn’t pay any tips though.

We took a grab to central world and walked around while waiting for gauri, found a nice Thai place. Shared some current and old stories. She gave eddy the scoop that she’s hooked up with a British expat. They talked about the pains of getting a child and giving the kid a proper education. Would that be something I think about too?

Anyway, I had an epic meal stuffing the sirloin steak all by myself, when it was time to part ways we got some tourist to take photos for us. Gonna print that one for sure.

Bought another set of groceries, honey and cherries, protein bars, good stuff. Central World have this huge open area outside, not sure if they used for events, has a Buddha and a ganesha statue outside too. Opposite is the big c connected by pedestrian Bridge. Took a super dark tinted mazda grab back to conrad.

Eddy studied some videos while I continued chatting and hunting, was about to give up due to the holiday, it’s some analog to wesak day, then analisa replied they are open. Booked a slim loli on the website but on arrival, guess she put on some pounds. Selected a milfy very Thai looking lady and had a good time. Was worried for a moment that I couldn’t come as the thingy was getting soft. Redoubled my effort with a bit of imagination and got it on.

Overall great experience and damn, first woman in almost a year. With tips, came up to 3k baht. Could get some really pretty one in jkt. Oh well, it’s a vacation.

Oh yeah, got her number and asked her for a lunch date at terminal 21.

Came back, satisfied, clean up and hit the sack.

Remember to publish dammit, or is there a draft save?

Start the day with some sweet breakfast, stack of bacon’s, loving it. Checkout the mall, all Seasons which is connected to the mall, not much stuff but its fine.

Somehow decided to checkout tinder, paid the sub and tried my luck. Thought there will be many freelancer, but surprisingly nope. Got a few contacts, at this moment since the parlors are closed, might try my luck. Could it be dangerous? Hmm nothing good comes out if I just stay paranoid. Just gotta let eddy be informed.

Took some photos by myself at the hotel for the tinder profile, perhaps it helped. Need to get better photos when the opportunity comes. Then surfed a bit for parlors, OK got a few spot to check. I think dream Heaven is the old place that I went with dave. They may not accept card, anyway will check with them tomorrow.

Good weather, landed in Bangkok with no issue. Experimented a bit with bus, thought to go somewhere near Lumphini, hmm should have shown the conductor that I want to go conrad directly, watthayu Road.

Anyway ended up in Siam Center, collected my rabbit card and had lunch. 3 huge mall connected together, didn’t really explore, but there are lots of good looking woman for sure.

As grab is not official, there is no proper spot for them to pickup, and malls don’t have a grand entrance clearly marked, bad designs. Had some difficulty catching one from Siam Center to conrad but when I finally found a patient one, it was quite a surprise.

And elderly man from a family of 10, the youngest, spoke in bahasa to me as I informed him that I hailed from Kuala Lumpur. He had a parent from johor, didn’t ask, but most probably a malay dad. I asked if he studied in johor and he said no. Speak reasonably well bahasa though.

Unintentionally gave him a tip of 70baht,but it suppose its fine.

Got an early check-in at conrad, caught a little nap time, freshen up and ready to go get some muay thai action. Let’s see how do I find my way into ratchapadisek later.

Woke up late today and felt lethargic, really need to sleep on time like a machine. Watch a bunch of news….way too much. Clean up room a little, and rediscovered my old cameras. The Canon still work but the LCD is dying. Maybe lowyat guys can repair it? Maybe some shop got phone and I can call.

Best part is my Sony is still alive. Let’s see how the battery last, after I came back from BKK. Been depressed after it got wrecked so I didnt charge it, its a sad excuse. This will not happen anymore, gotta live life on the edge, every minute counts. Good news, the body is still alive, but the lens seems dead. LCD with the menu seems fine.

Check with FP gang if anyone got an E Lens.

Confirm that it can save picture with a lens held in front of it.

Good chance can salvage it by buying lens from Aliexpress.

Visited Cecilia house, didnt talk much with others. Didn’t really do my pitch thingy but thats fine, everyone seems satisfied with their own gang there. Identifying your audience is a good lesson here. Need to check with Ronnie/CL among them who is the best guys to interview.

Ideas: Record a video of my pitch in Sri Bintang (write down the speech first and practice a few time)

Do a canto and english version. And let the top level guys vet thru first, gauge the response. If they say not good enuf (hopefully not), at least ask them what can you do for second cut. Move on from there!

Dont give up yet, fight on. And Bangkok!!

Ideas: Ask your nephew if he got a kaki with an E LENS!

Packed my gears, bag is a bit tight, so is the pouch… Need some upgrades. Can’t really bring book and switch at the same time.

Xiaomi powerbank expanded a bit, possible due to age or using bad chargers. Will only use good 18w charger in future’s.

Throat seems fine no pain, chest are clear according to xray, but feels like some phlegm are building up. Need to drink more cough syrup,
