A serious question (honestly)

[joe552]

Firstly, an admission - it's Monday and I always treat myself to a bottle of wine out of my dole money (6 euro), which explains why I'm flooding the board. If it's too much, I apologise, but I hope there's something of interest for someone.

So my serious question relates to the guy from Si Saket who I met on mys first trip. It seemed we'd agreed to go to Bangkok for a couple of days so I could see his parents again. I duly booked hotel rooms at the Malaysia.

I haven't heard from him for a week, despite constant messages on Facebook, which is the only way I have of communicating with him. I admit I'm not very experienced in dealing with Thai boys or men.

Those of you who have more experience - should I be worried and cancel the hotel booking (it's 2 months away, so it's not critical). Or should I just relax about the whole thing?

I know, I spend too much time on my own.You guys are the only ones I can have these conversations with (god, that sounds pathetic, but it's true)

You can cancel the Malaysia very close to arrival I would think.
If you don

I agree with FRM - just chill about it - he'll probably show up on Facebook in a few days with some explanation of why he's been out of circulation.

There's no need to jump to conclusions or panic at this stage - if it gets to a week before you're due to leave and there's still been no contact, then you can cancel

You can bet your bottom dollar he’s chilled about it.
If he doesn’t show up stay there anyway.
He will of course be late, maybe even by a full day what with not waking up, getting lost in Bangkok, missing the bus, Yai or Lung dying and so on.
In the meantime get a bedwarmer in the lobby to help you chill out if that makes sense.

You are a very honest and open man Joe. Admirable on many levels.

Regarding Mr Sisaket ... have fun anyway. If he shows up, even better.
Forget expectations, but don't beg him.

Joe earlier you said you were prepared for a no show, as for the Malaysia I always stay there when in Bangkok and never had to leave a deposit eveything confirmed on a phone call, don't get in a rut if he is gone plenty more to enjoy, you owe it to yourself.

OMFG - we have changed him!

It's because he's now a member of the Joey, Scotty and Poxxy gang. A fine body of members happily quipping their way through each and every day. Sawatdee Gay Thailand salutes you.

May I ask two questions? Firstly, how close is he to this guy? is he more than a friend?
And secondly, why does he rely on Facebook? What's wrong with a mobile phone?
I agree with Scottish-guy; speaking from bitter experience, I caution Joe about "catastrophisation" as followers of Mindfulness call it. In other words, there is likely to be an explanation that is staggeringly mundane: why assume the worst?
