Today I went to a Central department store for lunch while Chalerm and his school friend Lek were still sleeping. They had been up all night talking.
Once I get out of the Silom/Sukhumvit area the shopping malls get more Thai. There are few foreigners and the Thai girls give me interested looks. OK, sometimes Thai boys too. But today was not a good day for queen spotting. It goes in waves.
I bought Chalerm a toy animal, Nemo the fish, which is a storage thingy for 20 compact discs. When my sister was nine she said I had to stop buying her stuffed animals, she was too old for that. Gay Thai boys, on the other side, never get too old for cute dolls.
Chalerm was happy to get the toy animal. It made his day and now it rests with the big Doremon doll. It was just a 99 B gift but sometimes the small things are more appreciated than the big ticket ones.
We went to bed in the afternoon for a cuddle session. Chalerm likes to have his back scratched. The harder I use my fingernails on his skin the better he thinks it is. But he is lazy so when it is my turn to get a back scratch he is too tired and wants to sleep. This is an issue I am working on.
Found him

I am sorry, but I just have to make a comment here. I’ve been reading your website for a couple of weeks now, and I have enjoyed it immensely. I, also, am a gay farang in Thailand. But the world you live in with your young Isaan boy is very different from mine.
So my comment/question to you is… and I am trying to think of a nice way to say this but I’m having trouble… it sounds to me like your boyfriend is completely selfish and immature and a total pain to be around.
You are always doing nice things for him, but what do you get in return? Closed doors. Leaving home for days on end with no explanation. Refusal to talk about anything other than sex and food. Rolling over and going to sleep when you want a simple 10-second back scratch…
I’m sure he’s cute, but … what else is there that makes you keep him around? There are so many nice boys in Thailand that would show a little bit of appreciation, gratitude and respect to a quality guy like you. And no, I don’t consider one rose after being gone for 2 days as a sign of apology, gratitude, respect, or love.
I am very curious to hear your response, but please allow me to say again that I am still gladly reading your site daily. Thanks so much for sharing your life with the world. It makes for an interesting read, to be sure! Chok Dee…
