Hi All,
I am beginning to plan my first trip to LOS and have a few questions that I hope some of you would be kind enough to give their opinion about. I have been reading many topics here over the last month and have appreciated the education I have received but still need a little help.
First, it might be helpful to know a little bit about me (but I doubt it matters too much!). I'm from the US, 40, and recently single after an 8 year relationship. After an appropriate period of post-relationship dt's I am ready to just go out and play for a while. I think I'll really have to be careful in LOS that I don't fall in love/lust with just one guy so I just want to keep it friendly. I travel for pleasure about 8-10 weeks a year but have never been anywhere in Asia. I usually can "go with the flow" in the country I'm in and don't require a lot of amenities where I stay. I don't have a lot of requirements when I travel other than a cell connection and an occasional Internet connection.
As far a sex is concerned (and yes I want sex...a lot would be good!). I'm a total top and like very affectionate twink/boys in the 18-25 age group. I'd prefer them to be gay! If the guys are smaller, lighter and less masculine that's okay but not a total fem/ladyboy. They can be a girl in bed but a guy out would be great but I'm really not that picky. And, yes I do want to see some of the sights and get to know the area so I'd like a guide for part of the trip......anyway enough about me.
So, here are my planning questions:
1. I think I'll come for 3 weeks this first time and from what I'm reading it probably won't be my only trip. In reading this board it appears that 4 days in Bangkok plus 3 days in Chiang Mai plus 14 days in Pattaya might be a good mix but since I really like to get to know a city I might prefer a first trip to be 1 week in Bangkok and 2 weeks in Pattaya.....any thoughts?
2. Should I use a hotel or an apartment for these stays. It seems that a hotel might be safer but should I really worry about that? I tend to prefer the freedom and cost of an apartments/condos when I travel but I can see the advantage of hotels too. It just seems a little uncomfortable to have to check a guy in at the desk all the time but if it is that much safer I will go the hotel route.
3. I can fly free in April and May to Bangkok but is that a good time to go? I really don't care if I need to pay the airfare if going in February or March would be that much better. What do you think?
Regards,
John
