Apologies in advance, this is going to be a long read, which I'll update each day of my trip (as much for me as anyone else, since I have a terrible memory and will forget half of what I get up to unless I keep a record of it). I really appreciated some of the more detailed trip reports that I used in my research for my two weeks in Bangkok, so I'm going to try and take a similar approach.....

Day One. Saturday 11th October.

Arrived in Bangkok and got to my hotel in Sukhumvit about 5pm after sorting out a sim card and exchanging cash at the airport prior to hopping in a cab. Hadn't slept at all on the night flight as Eva changed my window seat to an aisle seat  - and the Brit and his ladyboy partner next to me were up and down like a hookers knickers all flight.

After unpacking my bags and a quick shower, I headed out to get some 7/11 provisions and popped into Lolitas BJ bar since it was within a minute's walk of my hotel (I had a quick look at Kasalong since it basically next to Lolita's if you pop through the alleyway connecting the Sois, but they only had three women stood outside who were all ancient). The girls at Lolita's wear school uniforms & and whilst the majority of them there are at the rougher end of the spectrum looks-wise, I've been there before and just wanted to release a load so I could go into the evening with a clearer mind and emptier balls. The girl who let me into the bar area wasn't to my liking, so I picked another one from the line-up outside and handed over 800 baht for the BJ and got myself a Singha too (80 baht I think). Then my girl (Pam) lead me upstairs, with a nice view of her pert bottom up her skirt as we climbed the steep staircase to the locked door that leads to the area where you get your BJ. The first floor, has couches down both sides of the room separated by curtains, as well as lockers where the staff keep their own individual little baskets full of wet wipes, mouth wash etc. There's also a private room the next floor up, which I've been to once before, but if you have to pay more for that and can get a full service up there - but given that the girls here tend to be 5s and 6s, better to save your money for that sort of thing at a better establishment.

 There were no other customers in any of the seats (no closed curtains) so I selected a seat that was to my liking whilst Pam got her stuff out of the locker. She then pulled the curtain around our section of the seating closed and got me to whip my shorts and pants off. After a quick wipe down with a wet wipe, she got onto her knees and began a lovely BJ. Lots of slurping and spit, with an excellent technique. I thought I'd shoot my load quickly, but was clearly pretty wiped out from the flight and after about 10 minutes of feeling like I was close, I started to worry I'd never cum, so I asked if I could get a bit of visual stimulation to help and unbutton her shirt. To my surprise, rather than just open a few buttons, she actually removed her shirt and bra completely and encouraged me to have a feel whilst she continued her slurpy BJ. That was all the stimulus I needed and a couple of minutes later, beer in one hand, boob in the other, I shot my load down her throat. It's been my experience at Lolitas in the past that the girls tend to take the load in their mouth then immediately spit it into a tissue, but Pam pushed my dick further down her throat as I came and kept her mouth locked around it whilst my load made it out in several stages. Then she gurgled a bit of mouth wash and spat into a tissue whilst I got my shorts back on.

After going back to the hotel to drop my 7/11 shopping off, I had a word with the people at reception in my hotel and asked if they could take the ID off any female visitors I have over the next couple of weeks, just to give me that peace of mind. They agreed and I tipped the security guy 200 baht as a thank you (money wasted, as it turns out...see later).

I then decided to take a stroll around the area and made my way to Terminal 21 (mall) for a quick look around, then Soi Cowboy. It was still fairly early, and it was really only my intention to kill some time by walking up and down Soi Cowboy before heading back to Thermae Cafe in time for it opening at 8pm. However, the siren song of "hey, sexy mister" from each bar as I walked by, soon had me thinking I could stop for a quick beer. I made it to the end of the soi and remembered reading about a bar around the corner, so I turned right and there was Crazy House. Having read online reviews, I knew the drill, wherein you have to order a drink outside before they'll let you through the curtains. Given that it was still only about 7pm, I didn't expect there to be much going on inside, but how wrong was I. Having ordered a Singha outside and a lady drink for the woman taking my order (200 baht) I was lead through the curtain and took a seat along the wall to the right as we entered. The centre of the room is taken up by a stage with fully naked girls (about 10 girls initially) all "dancing". There was only one other customer at this point (a fat Chinese guy sat right by the stage, looking right up at the girls), so it felt a bit awkward as soon as I took my seat every girl on stage fixed their gaze on me as they slowly shuffled about (it'd be a breach of trading standards to call it dancing). Unlike the majority of women I'd seen outside the other bars along Soi Cowboy, pretty much every girl on the stage in Crazy House was in the 7 to 10 (out of 10) range looks and body-wise. My eyes immediately went to one girl in particular, as she ticked every box on the wishlist I'd made myself of what I wanted, with long dyed blonde hair, a full back tattoo (and loads of other tattoos too) and nice pert tits. She wasn't quite as in my face as some of the other girls too, nervously looking down most of the time rather than the whole fake smile and fixed gaze thing the others were doing. The bar maid saw me taking an interest in blondie (wearing a badge with 47 on it) and asked me if I wanted to buy her a lady drink (400 baht for the drinks for the girls on stage) which I agreed to. A few minutes later, she came off stage to sit beside me to have her drink. Her English wasn't great, but good enough to have a bit of a conversation. Her name was Poopae and she told me she'd only been working there for 6 days, having run her own nail shop and salon before. I asked if she liked working there and she said she didn't as she doesn't like Bangkok (she comes from another part of Thailand, the name of which I've already forgotten). As she was completely naked and the air con was on full blast where I was sitting, she was shivering too, so I felt bad keeping her sat with me too long, so I asked about her bar fine price and short time price. She said the bar fine is 700 and her short-time cost (2 hours, 2 pops) was 4700. As I felt pretty wiped-out from the travel and lack of sleep, I decided that at that price I'd take a pass and keep her in mind for when I'd recovered fully and felt-up to a couple of hours of shagging. She seemed to appreciate my honesty when I said I didn't have it in me to bar fine her that evening, but as she ticked every box in what I wanted I'd be back to take her up on that at some point. After another couple of beers, I headed back outside to stick to my original plan of taking a look at Thermae Cafe.

I got to Thermae (only a short walk from Soi Cowboy and Terminal 21) within a few minutes and there was a huge line of people along the stairs that lead down into the bar. Although some girls seemed to walk straight down the steps and head inside, I did the typical Brit thing and stayed in the queue. Eventually, I asked an Aussie guy infront of me if this was actually a queue to get inside and he explained that it was because they hadn't opened properly yet. I looked at the clock on my phone and sure enough it was 7:59, a minute before they open. As soon as it turned 8, the doors were opened and we were allowed inside. I needed the toilet, so after ordering a beer, I headed to the back of the bar and up the stairs to the toilets for one of those satisfying multiple bottle of beer pisses that seem to go on forever. You have to pay to use the toilet (it was either 20 or 40  baht, I forget which) but the woman working there stamps your hand so you can come back as many times as you want, which struck me as odd because I can't imagine many people stick around this place long enough to need multiple toilet breaks!

Anyway, on returning back to the main bar area, it had really filled-up, with women stood along the wall all the way around and tonnes of tiny little Chinese and Japanese guys snaking their way around it like some kind of weird silent Conga. The two Aussie guys who had been in the queue in front of me when the doors opened, as well as a couple of other older guys who'd taken up a seat next to the bar, were the only other white faces in the room. I'd been concerned from stuff I'd read online that the freelancers working at Thermae would be keener on the old Asian guys who now make up the majority of people going there - but it wasn't the case at all. Like Crazy House, it very much felt like all eyes were on me as I made my way around the room (to the point that one or two of the Asian guys shot me dirty looks). I decided to stand in one corner and take a look around from there as shuffling around the room with a line of guys pushing up behind me wasn't really to my liking. Being 6'4", I could basically get a good look at all the girls over the sea of heads whilst enjoying my beer. The majority of the girls working there were faces I'd seen from the secretly recorded videos of Thermae that are all over multiple accounts on youtube and look like they've come straight from an office job in terms of their attire.  I was close enough to one girl to hear her negotiations with an octogenerian Japanese guy - where she quoted him 6000 baht for short-time, which almost had me coughing up my beer in surprise. Although their negotiations were in poor broken English, I got the impression she was quoting that in the hope of putting him off, or because he'd asked for something weird to take place in their encounter that he'd have to pay a premium for. He baulked at the price and rejoined the silent conga, but after making another full lap of the room he returned to her and agreed to the 6000 price she'd quoted. Her eyes lit up and the girls stood besides her had to stifle their laughter as the old guy lead her out past them.

Anyway, after spending a bit longer there and having another beer, there was really nobody who took my fancy and I decided that as a first night treat to myself, I'd head back to Crazy House to see Poopae again, even if not to bar fine her. 

The walk back to Soi Cowboy was a lot busier now that it had got darker outside, with plenty of freelancers on the pavement trying to get your attention too. Just before the turning into Soi Cowboy there were a couple of African freelancers too, one of whom shoved her hand down my shorts and grabbed my dick as I ignored her calls to stop. The walk down Soi Cowboy is not for the faint hearted once it gets busy too, as the slower pace of making your way down it means the girls at the bars have more opportunity to man handle you as you try and walk past. I got about half way down the soi when one girl blocked my path and implored me to hear her sales pitch before moving on. I was pretty sure she was a lady boy and wasn't interested, but actually appreciated the opportunity to step out of the mayhem and head inside for a beer. The girl (who insisted she wasn't a lady boy, was called Yawee but I can't remember the name of the bar) asked me to stop for one drink (and get her one, of course) then gave me her life story, showing me how well travelled she was by showing me photos of her in Korea, Japan and the US on her phone, whilst explaining that the bar life had been slow recently and she had a family to support. It was basically a plea to "please bar fine me" which came across as desperate, which wasn't doing it for me. Nor was her cigarette breath. She could see I wasn't keen, so she grabbed my hand and shoved it down her shirt onto her tits before ramming her tongue down my throat. Now, I'm a big fan of assertive women (my wife is a real ball buster for example) but this wasn't doing it for me at all. No matter how much I said I wasn't interested, she kept listing her prices and how I could long time her for 4000 and she'd spend the whole day with me, showing me the sights as well as fucking as much as I wanted, even the following morning. I was finally able to escape by exchanging line and whatsapp details with her with the promise that I'd come back when I was over my jet lag.

Then it was back onto Crazy House. The same woman who'd taken my drinks order the first time was at the door when I got there, so I was ushered in without having to order my drink first. Inside was way busier than it had been an hour or so earlier, with pretty much every seat taken and the stage completely rammed with girls. The male clientle, like Thermae, was about 90% Chinese and Japanese, albeit mostly at the younger end of the spectrum. I was seated between two groups of Chinese guys, comprised of mid 20s tourists cradling their bottle of beer for as long as possible to my left and a "Uncle" (as my Chinese wife refers to them) older guy, with his shirt pulled up to expose his belly in an attempt to keep cool to my right. Given this was my level of competition, again it was all eyes on me as I took my seat and I was getting far more attentive service from the bar maids than the other customers. Poopae was at the other end of the stage dancing with her back to me, so I got to check out the other girls before she realised I was there and came down to sit with me again. This time there was no pressure to buy drinks, although I did anyway, and it felt more like catching up with an old friend. As I'd got a bit of a second wind from the night air and a few drinks, I decided that I would pay the 4700 ST fee and treat myself. However, without any negotiating or anything, Poopae said it was now 4000 and she'd stay until the following morning if I wanted, plus 700 bar fine to the bar itself. I thought this meant I'd misunderstood what she'd originally told me, but she clarified that she liked me and would happily do long time to get out of work. I explained that I was knackered and didn't actually want to be waking up with anyone the following morning (what's the expression again, you pay for them to leave not to come to your hotel), but would happily pay 4000 for short time and I'd fuck her then take her for a meal if she wanted.

After agreeing to this arrangement, she disappeared to the back of the bar to get changed, giving me another ten minutes to ogle the dancers whilst feeling the dirty looks from the guys around me because of all the attention the bar staff were giving me. It's always been my approach to say "please" and "thank you" and make an effort to give the bar staff as much attention as the naked girls on stage when in Thailand, and it really makes a difference. If you treat the whole thing as a transaction, or act like a cheap charley, don't be surprised if you get treated like an ATM and nothing more.

When Poopae returned and I got my change from settling my bill, I asked her if she wanted to use the 100 baht change I had to tip another of the girls on stage in an effort to see who she'd pick. She picked out the girl who would have been my second choice had Poopae not been there (another tattooed girl but with huge breasts and a lovely smile). I asked if that was a friend of hers, and she said yes, that was the only other girl in the bar she liked and they came from the same town. If I work my way through the rest of my checklist/wank bank bucket list, then I'll raise the idea of a threesome to see how Poopae takes it.

Once we got back outside, although she said she was happy to walk back to the hotel, it was raining so I paid for a taxi back. On entering reception, I was hoping security would stick to our agreement and take her ID, but there was no sign of them anywhere so it was straight into the lift up to my room instead. Poopae liked the room, complete with it's little kitchen area, and said she wanted to take care of me and make me a drink and something to eat, only to discover I'd only stocked up on energy drinks, water and a bottle of Pepsi so all she could do was pour me a drink. I asked if she wanted to shower with me which she agreed to, but on putting on the rain water shower head rather than the smaller hand held shower head, she said she didn't want to get her hair wet and would take her shower after me instead. After I came out of the shower, I came back onto into the room to discover she'd tidied up and neatly folded some of my clothes for me. She then had her shower before coming out looking incredible in just a towel.

Great review, mate. Hope you're enjoying your time in Bangkok. What did you make of the freelancers you saw on the street? Were you tempted to have a go with them? Thermae sounds like an interestingly weird place. Some people rate it whereas others seem to think it's a waste of time but then again I guess it's a case of different strokes for different folks.

So, after I finished my day one report yesterday, the plan was to head straight out to find Wood Bar, but then the rain started really heavily again so I decided to wait it out. When it finally eased off, it was getting quite late and I had plans to go to Thermae, but I thought I'd still go find Woor Bar anyway just to see what the talent was like. I don't know how, but I managed to get it into my head that Wood Bar was on Soi 13 (it's on 7) so I ended up walking there and walking up and down the road wondering how I'd missed it. I did find The Sportsman bar though, which looks like a good place to watch football. Why it didn't occur to me to try Google Maps, I have no idea, so I just wandered up and down the soi aimlessly looking, before giving up and heading back to Sukhumvit Road to walk in the direction of Thermae since it was getting close to opening time. I saw a little outdoor market area in between Nana and Asoke (on the even sois side) and stopped there for street food and a frosty pint of Asahi, then made my way to Thermae. I got there at about 7:40 so the doors weren't open yet and since it was raining I went to the bar just above it for a drink inside. Funny place, as I suspect most of the business they get in that bar is people really wanting to go to Thermae downstairs and the server seemed a little surprised that I wanted a drink and not just to use their toilet (which is free, unlike the ones in Thermae itself).

 One drink later, the doors to Thermae opened so I headed down. Paid for my bottle of Singha then took up a spot at the bar area in the middle to scope out the women from there. One of the older freelancers working there asked me to move along one bar stool as I was on "her stool" apparently and she even made me laugh by saying "this my place of work". Then an older looking guy got asked to move from his stool too, so I offered him mine and he jokingly said he wasn't "that old" and we got talking. He was a regular to Thermae, over from Northern Ireland who had come in to meet a girl he'd picked up the previous night again. As he waited for her, we got chatting and had a couple of rounds whilst watching the silent conga of Asian guys working their way around the room again. As before, I wasn't seeing many women that did it for me, and the more attractive ones tended to give an air of disinterest (some even just sit there looking at their phones, barely acknowledging people). The girl that most took my interest was one of those and I saw her wave away a couple of older Asian guys rather than even negotiating with them. Intrigued, I went over and asked her for her short time price and she said "5000, one hour". All power to her, but only an idiot would pay that in Bangkok. Later, when my new friend's girl for the evening turned-up, I did a circuit of the bar but didn't see anyone else that took my fancy. The only other girl I'd seen who I was vaguely interested in just said she didn't speak English when I went up to her, so she was clearly one for the Asian market too. So, it was back into the night air with no real plan of what to do.

The rain was still coming down, so it was a case of dashing from place to place. I remembered Analisa massage was near my hotel and it was my plan to to there later in the holiday to try their milking table, so I briskly walked there thinking "no time like the present". I knew I wanted to see a girl called Vicky from my online research, but on getting there I was shown a tablet with prices but no pictures of the girls. I asked if Vicky was working and was told "on holiday for two weeks". I asked for the four hands service if I could pick the girls and the mamasan brought out three girls, of which only one was vaguely attractive, so I passed and headed back outside. The mamasan said better to book in advance in future, which I'll bare in mind. With the rain still coming down outside, I was getting soaked, so I decided to just go back to my hotel. On the walk there, I passed Lolitas again and thought I may as well pop-in and get a BJ since the evening had been a complete waste up to that point. On getting there, Pam from my first visit was sat outside eating and recognised me. As before, I paid 800 for a BJ and 80 for a beer. On getting upstairs, only one curtain was closed and whoever was in there finished-up before Pam had even got her stuff out of her locker, so again we ended-up with the whole floor to ourselves. As before, Pam's BJ was excellent, but after 15 minutes or so, I suspected I wasn't ever going to cum and again asked for her to remove her shirt in the hope the visual stimulation would tip me over the edge. A few minutes later, despite having tits to play with and her really going to town on my dick, I just knew a BJ alone wasn't going to get me there. I asked Pam, more in hope than expectation, if there was any chance of fucking her too and much to my surprise she nodded and said "400 baht" Bargain. I quickly agreed to that she whipped off her school girls skirt and knickers. I asked if she had a condom and she fished about in her basket, realised she didn't, then had to cover herself with her discarded skirt whilst she slipped out of the curtain to get one from the lockers. On returning, she resumed the BJ for a bit then turned her back to me and stradled me, lowering herself onto my dick. Even though I'd seen her topless before, I didn't realise until this point that she had a full back tattoo, with a geisha right in the middle, so I had that looking at me as she bounced up and down on my dick. She was tight and immediately got into it, really moaning and gasping. After a few minutes of that, I got her to stand-up and bend over the sofa so I could finish in doggy. Luckily there was nobody else on the floor, as she practically screamed the place down as I pounded away until popping in the bag. Afterwards, as she cleaned-up, she kept thanking me and I would reply with "no, thank you". We were both breathless and knackered afterwards and my legs felt like jelly going back down the stairs. Given that I could barely walk, I decided to have another beer before walking the few hundred yards back to my hotel, so I got that and sat at the table out the front with the three other girls that were sat there. I don't think many guys choose to sit outside a BJ bar having a drink with the girls, as they seemed to find it very amusing.

Then back to the hotel. I did come out again later, but only to walk to Hooters to see if their shrimp is as good as the shrimp you get in the Clearwater Florida branch (it wasn't). Whilst there I checked out their merch and bizarrely all of their t-shirts say 'Hooters Asia' or Hooters Hong Kong' with no mention of Bangkok or Thailand. Also, the girls working there are all wearing black, not the normal Hooters uniform. They shove all the customers up at the front of the bar overlooking the road to give the impression that it's busy, but on counting, I worked out there were more staff than customers. Given that this was a Sunday evening that doesn't bode well, and I wouldn't be surprised if Hooters is gone by the time of my next trip to Bangkok. My hotel in Phuket is next to the Hooters there, so hopefully that's a little livelier.

Great review again, mate. Very informative and helpful. It's a shame about your experience in Thermae. Are you staying the full two weeks in Bangkok? Are you not worried that it'll get boring after a few days?

I'm actually off to Phuket tomorrow for 2 days of work, then I'm back to Bangkok until next Friday. I'm more worried that at my current rate of expenditure that I'll have to ease off a bit rather than getting bored.

I'm going to write today's report now whilst it's fresh in my memory, since I won't be taking my laptop to Phuket as I only have a stingy 7kg carry-on baggage for my Air Asia flight.

Today was a real mixed bag. I'm going to tell it, warts and all, although I'm not proud of how the evening ended and that's why I'm so wide awake now.

Got up at 10am and headed out about an hour later. My wife had given me a list of stuff she wants from Thailand, so I went out on a mission to get as much of it as possible. Took the BTS into the centre and spent hours trying (and failing) to find her stuff. Apparently she's asked me to get a bunch of stuff that's basically sold-out everywhere. Then, rather than heading back, I decided to try and get some stuff for myself from Big C (a massive grocery store) and also failed miserably to find any of the stuff I was looking for. Headed back to Sukhumvit late afternoon. On my short walk from the BTS station to my hotel, I walked past a massage place that I've ignored a thousand times before, but for some reason rather than follow my instinct and walk past, I let them stop me and took a look at the menu. The woman who stopped me must have been 60 at the least, with a cracking set of tits but a face that showed her age despite being plastered in make-up. I decided to go for a Swedish oil massage at 600 baht to unwind after all the walking and honestly, I had no intention of doing anything else.....but you already know how this ends.

After being lead upstairs and paying 600 baht, I was left alone in a room for what felt like an eternity whilst the lady went off to do who knows what. She then came back and told me to strip completely naked. We were in a tiny dark room with two massage tables and a sliding door. I took everything off and lay face down. She then began the most basic massage I've ever had, basically just rubbing loads of oil into me whilst running her hands about a bit. Her hand went down my butt cheeks and brushed against my balls far more than necessary and I quickly twigged that this was not going to be a proper massage. Eventually, she asked me to turn over and I did so with a towel over my privates. She wasn't one for pretending anymore and basically just pulled the towel off me and said "you want special massage now". I said no (and meant it) but then she said "1000 baht and I'll give you handjob". I said "no, I'm not interested" which she countered with "1500 and I give you the best blowjob of your life and you can play with my pussy". Despite how disinterested I was, the whole time she was talking she was playing with my dick and balls and I'd gone rock hard by this point. I said no a few more times, but this was clearly a game she'd played a few times before and she kept stroking me until I got to a point where I was aching to cum (and get it over with) so I relented and said "1000 baht and you give me that BJ and I'll finger you, even though I can go around the corner and get a blowjob at Lolitas for less", and she agreed. What followed was not the best BJ of my life. Not even the best BJ in the last 24 hours. But a combination of her wanking me off, licking my balls and sucking me off, whilst I played with her gigantic breasts just about did it. I did briefly play with her pussy, but honestly, it was like a gaping wound and did nothing for me so I stuck to playing with her breasts until I came. I did warn her I was going to cum and to her credit, she took it in her mouth then must have swallowed it because she talked to me afterwards for a while before doing the whole mouth wash and spitting into a tissue routine.

On leaving the room and heading back down to street level, the bright light put my sense of shame at having gone along with it into even brighter perspective as she really was not a pretty sight. At the most, she was 4'10" and whilst she had gigantic breasts that appeared to have defied the years and looked like something you'd find on a 20 year old, the rest of her was looking every year of 60+.

After walking back to my hotel, disgusted with myself, I had a nap then a shower and decided to give Thermae its third (and possibly final) chance. I got there shortly after 8pm and went straight in. Despite the doors only having opened shortly before I got there, it wasn't as busy as it had been Saturday and Sunday, yet it was pretty much all the same girls as the prior nights, just with less men mulling around. I got a Singha and took up a place at the central bar area to scope out the girls. My thought this time was to wait a while and see what girls turned up later, as well as to see if any of the girls I looked at whilst waiting bothered to show any interest or not. On reflection, this should have been my approach from day one. Whilst I saw a few girls who took my interest, they were of the moody looking sort who spent more time looking at their phones and certainly never smiled. A couple of them got guys (again, small Asian business men types) saunter up to them before walking away after being shot down. One girl, almost opposite me, was staring at me the whole time, and whilst she was okay, she wasn't ticking any boxes in terms of what I was looking for, so I did my best to ignore her and kept looking. I finished my first drink pretty quickly and went to the bar for another. Then, rather than return to my previous spot, I went to the far end of the bar to check out the women at that end. I was stood there for a while and the bar filled up a lot whilst I was there, but mostly with more women rather than punters. From my vantage point at the far end, I got to watch a table full of Japanese business guys keep sending one guy from their party off to ask random girls what their price was. This didn't go down well with the girls, as by the time the guy made his way to the third and fourth girls asking the same question, they'd all figured out they were not the first choice and made it clear they were not interested in undercutting whatever the previous girl had quoted. As amusing as this was to watch, I was on the verge of leaving and giving up on Thermae altogether, when a girl came in, took a place opposite me, then walked over to say a quick prayer to some sort of religious icon that was on the wall above me and walk back to her seat. As she walked up to me, I liked what I saw and she obviously saw me looking and flashed me a smile. After taking her seat back at the opposite end of the room, I walked over and asked her if I could get her a drink (just to see what her English was like more than anything). She said she had just ordered food and a drink, but that I was welcome to sit with her. She then took me to a corner table and sure enough, one of the bar staff came over with two plates of food and a bright blue drink for her. Her English was really good and we had a good chat whilst she ate her food (the second plate, which remained opposite her was, she explained, a meal a second girl had ordered before being short-timed and she'd be back to eat it later).

This girl was called Nana (like the BTS station) and she explained that during the day she's a teacher at a nursery and then she comes to Thermae most nights to try and make a bit more money afterwards. She said if she's not been taken by anyone by 10pm she'll call it a night and head home. Although she wasn't my normal type, she had piqued my interest and I reckoned that beneath her glasses and straight fringe secretary look, there was something worth exploring (I've probably watched too many American movies where the plain girl ends up being a super model when she takes her glasses off...). After a very casual chat, where she even offered to buy me a drink since she was still eating and I'd finished my Singha, I asked what her short time fee was and she flashed three fingers at me under the table. I asked how long that was for and she said it was up to me, she could come for longer and have a meal and fuck me twice, or if I wanted her just to come back and fuck once, same price. I was a little taken aback at this approach and asked if this was her normal fee. She explained that she could see I wasn't like the Asian guys (whatever that meant) and that she'd rather have a good night than anything else. If this was just her way of buttering me up, it worked and did enough for my ego (although I had decided the moment I saw her to go for it, so the price was pretty much irrelevant anyway).

She didn't finish her meal but sat whilst I had another beer, then we headed off. On the way out, she seemed to get a few comments from the other girls as she lead me out, and she had what I can only describe as a "shit eating grin" on her face as we got the stairs leading out, so I'll stroke my ego and assume she was getting complimented on landing me!

We took a taxi back to my hotel and on getting there, despite my arrangement with the security guy on my first day, I assumed we'd just go back to my room without being challenged. However, on getting to the hotel, there was a female member of staff I'd not seen before today and she asked Nana for her ID before she'd let her go to the lifts. Nana took it in her stride, so it appears this is common practice afterall.

On getting to the room, Nana was happy with what she saw. We chatted for a while, then she asked if I wanted to shower together. I said I would, but having learnt from my previous encounter, I explained that I like to use the overhead shower and have the water hot, so if she didn't want to get her hair wet, I'd understand. So, she opted to have a shower alone, wearing one of the hotel's complimentary shower caps and the water temperature at what I'd class as lukewarm. I then took my shower afterwards (hot and at full blast) and came back into the room to find her on the bed with a towel over her. She removed the towel the moment I was back in the room, and despite a bit of scarring on her stomach (she had told me she had a son who stays with the grandmother) she had a banging body. She asked if I had any condoms as she didn't, so I pointed at the drawer with my supply of frustratingly small 'regular' fit Durex and a bottle of lube in it. She held the bottle of lube up like an FA Cup winner and said something along the lines of "thank God", which got a laugh out of me.

On sitting on the bed, she appeared to assume I'd want a BJ straight away, but I said I preferred to go down on her to begin with. She seemed pleasantly surprised by that, so after a bit of light kissing on the mouth and her tits, I worked my way down to her pussy. She wasn't completely shaved, but only had a small tuft of hair over her pussy, and despite having had a kid she had a lovely small tight pussy. I got to work, and despite the fact I think I'm pretty good down there most of the time, this time everything seemed to click and I could tell I was doing a good job. She was a quivering mess, and honestly seemed pleasantly shocked that I didn't just stop the moment she came. I worked her up to being on the verge of a second orgasm then got a bit bored and came up for air. That was her cue to push me onto my back and go straight into a BJ. Her technique was good, but not quite on par with what I'd had at Lolitas and I only let her do it for a few minutes before signalling that it was time to fuck by reaching over for a condom. She whipped the condom out then put it onto my dick with her mouth (like a pro) before running it smoothly down my shaft, making a mockery of how difficult myself and the previous girl had found it. She then got on top and rode me in cowgirl. I then flipped her over into missionary and went to town on her for a while until I started to tire. I asked if she'd be okay with doggy and she pointed at the lube and said she would but to give her it first. She took a squirt of that, applied it to herself then guided me in without any trouble. What followed was in keeping with my first night, a good session of fucking but I quickly realised that I was never going to cum. She tried her best, insisting that we keep going even after I said I wouldn't manage it, and flipped back into missionary with her legs around me, then more BJ, then the condom off and trying to wank me off, but eventually I said she should stop and that it wasn't down to anything she'd done, it's just down to my own weird overthinking of everything or lack of fitness.

After she'd had another quick shower, I said I was happy to walk her back to Thermae as I fancied some air and had liked the look of the food she'd had there and was keen to get some for myself. She said that one of the food stalls on my soi did a better version of the same dish so I should walk her down and she'd show me which one before taking a motorbike taxi back to Thermae. However, on getting to the soi the food stall wasn't there (something to do with it being a Monday) so she took me over the BTS bridge and showed me a restaurant that she recommended instead. There was a bit of a queue of people waiting to get a seat, but she had a word with the staff and somehow got me to the front of the queue ahead a bunch of Middle Eastern tourists, then as I took my seat she said she'd walk back to Thermae from there.

Whilst I was eating, with a seat overlooking the soi running down the side of the restaurant, I saw more freelancers who took my fancy and planned to go over and ask for their details when I finished eating, but on looking up at the TV to see Trump was in Egypt signing some sort of peace accord, both girls disappeared. So, I finished my meal and basked in the glow of a positive Thermae experience instead. Whilst settling my bill, I got a text from Ann from the other night, along the lines of she'd hoped to see me but she clearly wasn't a priority to me so hopefully I'd come and see her once I'm back from Phuket. The night was still young, so I replied saying that I'd come and see her but only to have a couple of drinks since I have a flight to catch tomorrow.

This is where the night went wrong. Or not. Depends on your perspective.

I found Soi 7 again and Ann saw me coming and came to meet me (thankfully, as I'm not honestly sure I'd have remembered her bar or her face if she hadn't). What followed was me being plowed with drinks and buying her drinks too. She kept asking me to play pool and I explained I haven't played for about ten years and would be shit, but after losing a couple of games of connect four to her, I relented and said I may as well lose to her at pool as well as I couldn't be any worse at that than connect four. She said if I beat her I could fuck her for free*. Now, whilst this was going on, I became increasingly concerned that Ann wasn't all woman, as a lot of the bar staff in said establishment were quite clearly lady boys and the incredibly stunning girl in the bar seemed to be taking offence to the fact that I was happy to sit and buy Ann drinks but wasn't showing her any attention despite the fact she was clearly the establishment's stunner. Ann got very protective of me and whilst making a show of how I was "hers" her voice took a much deeper tone. After a few more drinks and me saying I had to get back to my hotel as I had a flight the next day, as she walked me out of the bar I asked her one more time to be honest with me and tell me if she was a lady boy or not. She looked crestfallen and said she was scared of my reaction, but yes, she was a lady boy. Much to my surprise (and this could be the booze) I wasn't as bothered as I would have expected. I explained that I think of myself as tolerant and wish she'd been upfront with me from the start, but whilst it takes sex off the table as far as I'm concerned, I would be happy to spend time with her again when I get back from Phuket. Now, what I didn't tell her is that I really want to fuck her friend from the bar and it was actually a bit of a relief that Ann was ladyboy, as that now gives me an excuse to say "you're lovely and its nothing personal, but given that you're not actually a women I'd like to shag your friend instead". I realise this makes me sound like the scum of the Earth, but at this point I've decided I may as well act on what I want.

* I did actually beat her at pool too, but the deal seemed to be forgotten the moment I did and we had to play doubles against another girl and an old Japanese guy instead who we absolutely destroyed.

And that was day three.

Great review again. I'm glad you managed a successful punt in thermae. Your story about Ann is what worries me about punting in Thailand. I have nothing against ladyboys and those who enjoy punting with them but I have no interest myself and I don't want to risk being mislead by one. I might have to keep the drinking to a minimum to avoid any chicanery. I hope your trip to Phuket goes well

Thanks, this was a fun read and a super insightful Thermae cafe report. I hope you had a great time in Phuket.

I'm curious to know, was it only white and Asian guys you saw in the cafe?

Can't wait for the next installment fresh off the press!

Thank you for this write up.  The detail you capture gives a real insight into the crazy situation of a punter in Thailand.  Sometimes it is like a kid in a candy shop.  This can lead to indecision - too many options can be awkward, too.  And it is so difficult to understand the culture - sometimes you think you know how the girls will react, then they do something else.

I'm curious why you went back to Thermae at all.  It seems like gogo's or Thai friendly are easier.  Not judging - I do loads of illogical things when I'm enjoying time in Thailand. And you can name the hotel.  Seems one to avoid if they don't get the girls ID. (I see elsewhere you mentioned Adelphi Suites on Soi 6 ... was that it?)

It's Adelphi Suites, Soi 8 (when I said Soi 6, that was an example of how shit my memory is!). I've had three people back here now and they've only taken the ID for one. But other than that, I can't fault the hotel. The cleaner, in particular, is an absolute star and my room is spotless each day and she's clearly concerned about my water intake as I've gone from getting two free bottles of water each day to her leaving loads on the side and a couple chilling in the fridge each day too. I have a lovely view out over the soi and there's no issues with noise.  I have an hour before I meet up with a friend so I'm going to try and post the Phuket day first before my latest Thermae take-home from last night later...

I was always under the assumption that place was was catered for the Asian guys so I've never been in.

great report

I don't suppose you could mention the names of some of the bars?

Brilliant reporting as I’ve said before 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I so appreciate hearing about people’s adventurous..

Just a heads up info if you find yourself needing a little chill out area there is a great little bar just round the corner from Thermae on soi 15 100 yards Bar Bakcs it’s just next to a money exchange with a little bench at the front so you can take a ringside seat and watch the 333 boys taking the Thermae girls back to their hotels… 10-15 mins the girls are rushing back down the street 😂😂😂

I’ve been able to negotiate with girls returning or just before they head to the bar (as it’s a taxi drop off hot spot for the girls) with sigh language rates and service from across the street.. it’s brilliant fun.

Having a cool beer watching the madness… (the bar doesn’t have working girls serving) a few hot fl will drop by but it’s just a pool table and drinks in a chilled out place.

where is that SD? - i don't recognise it at all!

Just a heads up info if you find yourself needing a little chill out area there is a great little bar just round the corner from Thermae on soi 15 100 yards Bar Bakcs it’s just next to a money exchange with a little bench at the front so you can take a ringside seat and watch the 333 boys taking the Thermae girls back to their hotels… 10-15 mins the girls are rushing back down the street 😂😂😂

there is additionally the little cafe / bar literally to the left (going in) of the entrance of Thermae that gives a good view of the entrance and to the girls mingling nearby on the main sukhumvit road. I have sat there a couple of times with a beer enjoying the view!

I was guessing the 'Ann' bar from the OPs tale.  The pic I posted is the red arrow.

Thanks for the updates. Ill be in Bangkok soon although I usually avoid the red light districts and stick to massage with HE. I may give Pam a go though as Ive never had a truly elite BJ.

I've got back from the footy and my initial plan was to go watch the second halves of the Prem games in a pub near my hotel, but they were all rammed as I walked back to the hotel to drop off some stuff and change out of my sweaty t-shirt, so I think I'm going to go and check this place out instead. Wasn't planning on any punting today because of the late night last night and the fact that I have to meet a friend for lunch at what she's described as "the last stop on the MRT" which suggests an earlier start than I'd have liked tomorrow. That said, I'll see where the night takes me as if I see a cute freelancer who appears keen, I doubt I'd be able to turn down the opportunity.

I reckon you didn’t make it, unless you were dressed in Lederhosen and completely pissed or a South Korean Pool hustler.
I was there for a few hours before it rained and left a bit after.
Good value bar only 100 Baht a bottle of Chang and friendly staff.

I was in there for all of five minutes if it's called Bar Back? The only detail of the description of the bar I remembered when I got out of my hotel was the Soi it was on. When I got there I wasn't convinced I'd found the right place as I couldn't see any freelancers or an obvious taxi drop off point.

It has one pool table only, right? I had a drink at the bar, saw Haaland's first goal against Everton then decided to to head back out. Ended-up going back to play pool at Soi 7 instead. The crowd of people outside Thermae put me right off even trying to go in. Seems the groups of Indian guys Nana had complained about where out in full force as they were blocking most of the pavement as well as crowding around a few of the freelancers further down the road, doing their weird head wobble thing when negotiating prices and asking girls if their price covered their mates too.

The girl from my first night keeps messaging me on Line asking when I'm coming back to see her, but I can't be arsed with walking down Soi Cowboy on a Sunday, so I'm going to save that for Monday. Now that I've got back to my hotel after a day of travelling out of Bangkok and back to see my friend, I'm in two minds as to whether I can muster the energy to go out or not. I've already decided I'm going to come back to Thailand next year, so I no longer feel the need to go through everything I had on my list on this trip. I may "only" do one more Thermae night, a two girl BJ at Lolitas and see Poopae from Crazy House again in my last four days and I reckon I'd be happy with that. There's loads of "proper" tourist stuff I intended to do that I've not even got around to as the time seems to have just flown by.

Apologies if I confused anyone as I mentioned It’s a small bar.. the girls get dropped across the street I never said it was a taxi rank just convenient drop off for the girls.. as I said it a small bar away from the madnesses 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

If the weather is crappy and wet it’s probably not a good place to see the girls with 333 chaps, I always stay on that road as it’s 3-4 mins from Thermae. I must admit I’ve always been in town feb March May and August so the street is busy with the 333 and the girls coming and going.

I am aware writing this that I sound like a mug

most of us have made that mistake before. I think its easy to forgot that : (includes some generalisations)
- many thai girls us see as first and foremost as a walking ATM
- they think all westerners are rich (and perhaps we are compared to them but not so in our own countries)
- that its easy to spend too much time with any one girl, especially if they are attentive
- they earn from getting you to buy lady drinks (and in some bars even on your own drink)
- that they will help you spend your money on their fellow countrymen/women, whether in their bar or out in the street.
- whilst there are lots of lovely girls in Thailand and we have gone there to enjoy them/the variety, there is also so much other great non punting things to do in Thailand. 
- its easy to enjoy the delights of Bangkok / Thailand and spend perhaps more than you intended!

Thanks again for the honest story.  Helps everybody.

In terms of seeing Ann and enjoying just a simple game of pool, I suggest you should let all your readers (your virtual wingmen) have a vote.

Sorry but I'd vote a very firm no. You've had a great time with her and some great memories for life. Better to leave it at that rather then getting pulled into it again. In my humble opinion buddy

Seems the decision has been made for me anyway, so you can save your votes. Ann has sent me a series of messages today along the lines of realising that she doesn't want to see me again as she's never going to be "a real woman" and that's what I am looking for. She's gone on a little self-pity trip and I'm not going to try and talk her out of it.

Had a great night last night, proper report to follow but I've been out all day today and need to go grab something to eat before I can focus on that.

Tuesday I wake up late. Eventually I make my way on foot to Terminal 21 for brunch and then to watch 'One Battle After Another' at the cinema. Then back to my hotel for a nap. When I get up, it's getting on a bit and I decide I will go for that two girl BJ at Lolitas. As I'm getting ready to head out, I get more texts from Ann asking if I can come to her bar and talk to her. I decide to give her an opportunity to clear the air so I say I'll head that way shortly.

On getting to Lolitas they seem to have more girls outside than on any previous visit, but I spot Pam's face watching me come down the soi and immediately point at her. As she leads me inside I say that I was thinking tonight would be the 2 girl BJ night and would she like to pick the second girl that she feels comfortable working with. She nods, pops her head back outside and calls one of the other girls in. Now, this is when I should have been a bit firmer, as the girl she selects is probably older than me and not a looker at all. I briefly shake my head to say "not her", then the thought occurs to me that Pam may have chosen her because she has the best BJ skills or something, so I decide to go along with it. Big mistake. I hand over the 1600 baht and get lead upstairs. On getting to the first floor, none of the curtains are closed so we have the pick of the place. On being seated, they draw the curtain closed and both head off to the lockers to get their stuff. After a small towel is placed down on the sofa for me to sit on, I remove my shorts and pants and take my seat.

After the usual wipe down with wet wipes, the two girls position themselves side by side on their knees infront of me. The BJ starts really well, with the older woman licking my balls and Pam on horn duties (sucking my cock, basically). Straight away I'm rock hard and thinking "this is great". However, after only a couple of minutes like that, Pam decides to stand up and try and position herself next to me, playing with my nipples (does nothing for me) whilst the older lady takes over on sucking duties. The older woman's technique is, unfortunately, awful. Too slow, too much focus on the very end of my dick (which is not that sensitive either) and no noise. I try and keep myself in the mood by focusing on Pam's smiling face and by playing with her arse cheeks and tits. However, that's clearly not going to get me anywhere so I eventually say to Pam that she's going to have to take over on dick duties as her friend's technique is doing nothing for me. She gets back down on her knees and resumes the main role in the BJ, whilst her friend sits besides me and becomes very passive, basically contributing nothing other than sitting there and looking at me as Pam slurps away. I grab a handful of older woman's tit, so she unbuttons her shirt and flops one tit up so it's hanging over the cup of her bra. It's not a pretty sight. This is clearly the breast of a woman who has more miles on the clock than even me and a long sad looking nipple. I try and play with it, but the empty feeling of her boob in my hand does nothing for me, so I decide it's probably best to just pretend she's not there at all and concentrate on the magic Pam is working downstairs.

Pam does a great job on the BJ - lots of moaning, slurping and a lot more rapid and down on the shaft rather than just the tip like her mate did. However, after a good 15-20 minutes, I still feel like I'm never going to pop. I tell Pam she may as well stop and admit defeat, but for some reason this leads to another switch and old woman goes back to dick duties and Pam sits beside me, completely removing her shirt. I suck on her titties and basically finger her through her knickers whilst the older lady tries to copy what she's just seen from Pam and gives a marginally better BJ than first time around. I feel like I'm getting close, but the feeling stays that way for a good 5-10 minutes but doesn't progress, so again I say it's time to admit defeat as they've tried everything they can and I just can't pop. Pam seems to take pride in her work and gives me the sad eyes and "why you can't cum this time?" whilst packing her stuff up. I should have been honest and said that her friend had actually been the problem, but I just make an excuse about being tired and assure her I had fun and I'm not overly bothered that I didn't pop. Her friend doesn't seem to care, as she disappears down the stairs ahead of both of us and disappears completely by the time Pam and I get down to the entrance level.

After that, I walk to Soi 7 and meet Ann. She initially rolls her eyes and makes out like she's not happy to see me, but when I say "you texted me to come, I'll happily go somewhere else", she quickly becomes the flirty friendly Ann of old. We play a few games of pool, drink a lot, and chat when neither of us is taking a shot. We end up playing until late, then again go to get food together before she comes back to my hotel. She says she just wants to sleep at my hotel so she can swim in the pool there the following morning, so I agree to that provided she doesn't suggest sex or BJs again. By the time we get back to the hotel, it's so late that the Barcelona vs Olympiakos match is into the second half on the TV in my room. We both shower and sit in bed, with me watching the match as best I can and Ann playing with her phone. As this is going on, I get a Line message from Poopae in Thai. I go to put it into google translate but Ann sees what I'm doing and reads it for me in a pissed-off voice. "She misses you, she wants to see you". I reply saying I hope to see her again on my final night. Ann doesn't say more (for now) and goes back to playing with her phone until I eventually turn the TV off and say it's time to sleep.

During the night, Ann takes up most of the bed, with her leg draped over me, but doesn't try and funny business and I go to sleep pretty quickly. The next morning, everything starts off fine, and we're both chatty and friendly as we get up and get showered and dressed. I repeat my plan to chill at the hotel today to try and get a bit of a tan and do some swimming, which Ann says is great as she wants to swim too. However, she then gets back into bed and resumes looking at her phone. I assume this is just to check something quickly, but then it becomes clear she's just scrolling through an endless cycle of videos. I start getting a bit testy at this point, saying "it's only sunny for so many hours, I thought we were going to swim". She says something about not having anything to wear, which pisses me off, as I'd made a point of asking her at the bar the previous night if she had a swimming costume since she said she wanted to swim but she'd just nodded but never actually given me a proper answer. We have a bit of back and forth about why say you want to swim then show no interest in actually doing it, at which point she starts making little comments about how I don't actually like her and starts painting herself as some sort of victim. I'm very much Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon at this point and blurt out "I'm too old for this shit, time for you to go. I'm not having you ruin my plans for the day". She orders herself a motorbike taxi on Grab and I send her down in the lift and watch her get driven away from the window of my room. Almost immediately she starts sending me texts, accusing me of not actually liking her and how I should be with my "monkey" instead, which is what she has decided to call Poopae in a childish effort to hurt me. Again, I repeat that I'm too old for this shit and that I'll just block her on whatsapp if she keeps this up. She sends a few more abusive messages, so I block her. I then go on with my day, going up to the level of my hotel that has a nice outdoor pool overlooking Sukhumvit, for a few hours of swimming and reading my book whilst I work on my tan. It gets to about 4pm and I realise I've not eaten anything yet, so I head back downstairs, have a quick shower and then head out to grab a bite to eat. Before heading out, my paranoia that Ann may be waiting somewhere outside for me means I check out of the window and scan the soi for her, but thankfully there's no sign of her anywhere. I then walk down Soi 8, not spotting anything I fancy eating there, so it's onto Sukhumvit Road and over the BTS walkway to cross to the other side of the road in order to get to the restaurant I like there. As I'm walking down the stairs on from the walkway I hear the sound of someone running up behind me and turn around to see Ann coming towards me.  I say something along the lines of "are you stalking me?". Having caught up with me, she walks alongside me down the remaining stairs and insists that it was "luck" that she'd seen me and she just wanted to say that she'd left an earring in my room, but am I willing to talk to her? I say I'm going to eat but I'll listen to her if she has something sensible to say, then when I'm done eating we can go back and get her earring so I can get on with my life.

After we've both ordered food, Ann apologises for that morning's behaviour and says that she'd still like to swim at my hotel and then we can talk properly so she can explain herself. I don't have any plans for the rest of the day, so I say fine. Then, whilst we're eating, she brightens up a lot and says something along the lines of "I think I was just hungry earlier, which is why I got so weird". So I reply "you were hangry". She's never heard this expression before and it makes her laugh. We end up having a nice meal, and whenever the subject matter being discuss threatens to get too serious, she corrects herself and says "swim first, talk properly later".  After eating, we pop into one of the clothes shops (the ones with millions of knock-off replica footy shirts) along Sukhumvit Road so she can ask if they sell swimming costumes, because despite having been home and changed her clothes whilst I was swimming, she apparently doesn't own anything she could swim in. She buys a tiny two piece swimming set, which the little Thai guy working in the shop seems mortified about for some reason (probably because she insists on asking his opinion on whether it's big enough to cover her fake boobs or not).  I, of course, end up paying for the swim suit (as well as the food she'd ordered herself when we were in the restaurant). Rather than return to the hotel at this point, we head to Soi 7 to play a "first to three wins" games of pool so I can digest my food before swimming. On getting to Alice's (bar) there's only the one older woman working at the bar and no other staff. A lady boy and her Swedish partner of two years are the only other customers, so we end up playing doubles against them as well as having our first to three wins games before heading back in the direction of the hotel.

On the walk to the hotel, Ann is grabbing onto my arm and kissing at the side of my face as we walk, so I repeat that we're just friends and she should stop. She continues kissing me anyway. I ask again if she'd been waiting for me to come out of the hotel and if so, where since I hadn't spotted her until she was running up behind me. She gives me some line about how she'd been praying to Buddah that we'd bump into each other again since she'd left an earring in the hotel ("worth 2000 baht") and insists it was divine intervention that she saw me rather than lying in wait.

On walking down Soi 8, I overhear a group of old English guys sat in one of the pubs remark (about me) "poor guy, he's in for a shock", which I take to mean that they think I'm unaware Ann is a ladyboy and that it looks like we're going back to the hotel for sex, since she's clinging onto me and making a big show of kissing me and being affectionate again. I tell her what I overheard and she asks if it bothers me, so I say it doesn't, but she really should stop kissing me since that's not how friends behave.

After getting changed (helping a lady boy tie the straps on her skimpy swimsuit is another first ticked-off for me), we head up to the pool. It's dark by this point so lunch, shopping and pool clearly took a couple of hours. After taking some nice photos of Bangkok lit up against the darkness, we swim and chat for a couple of hours. We get to the bottom of her behaviour and how she wishes for more and hates that I don't see her as a real woman even though she feels like one. I explain that I'm never going to be able to get passed seeing her as a lady boy rather than a lady, and even if I could it wouldn't change the fact that I'm married and not looking for a relationship beyond friendship. There's a lot of back and forth about what parameters friendship puts in place, as well as her apologizing for calling Poopae a "monkey" and admitting that she's beautiful and that her wording was borne out of resentment that I want to continue seeing a "real" woman for sex rather trying with her. We clear the air, come to a clear agreement on what is and isn't acceptable and I agree to unblock her on my phone. After returning to the room, she asks if she can stay the night again, so I decide to test if everything we discussed has actually meant anything to her and say that I'd rather she doesn't, as I just plan to have a quiet night in to relax and having her playing on her phone whilst I try and read or catch up on e-mails won't help. Thankfully, she understands and says she can go and play cards with her friend Oh again instead. After ordering a Grab motorbike, I walk her down and she heads off into the night. And that brings me pretty much up to date.  I have even told Ann that whilst we may see each other in the day tomorrow (we'd have to anyway, as I've just realised she's left her phone charger in my room), it's my plan to see Poopae again in the evening if she can come over after her shift at Crazy House, so we can have one last session of shagging before I catch my flight home on Friday afternoon, and she was fine with that.
