Smile Thanks From A Newbie

Greetings to everyone on the forum,its my first post so i'll tell you a little bit about my situation.At 49 years old find myself newly single and determined to live life too the full.Should also explain that i'm brand new to the interweb and wundernet experience so please forgive any mistakes I make in the first few weeks,anyway had decided that I would make what has always been a fantasy a reality and go to bbk for a few weeks of debauchery,however as I will be traveling alone have decided that bbk might be a bit full-on for a young newbie like me, so its phuket later this year.I have loads of questions but finding most of them are being answered in the newbie section.Just wanted to thank all the BMs for the information and the great humour I've found on this site. dam near pissed myelf at the banter following the 'how kinky are you' page. So the first round will be on me as my first port of call will be the MAI TAI. THANKS AGAIN

Frank,
Welcome to the board. I am sure you will love Phuket. Personally I got my "feet" wet in Bangkok. Depending on how long you go you may find time for both. What was your score?

Thanks for the welcome MRDK

Did the test a couple of days ago, scored in the 480s was expecting to rate fairly low because sex life for the last decade has been pedestrian to say the least,so was pleasantly suprised to find myself up there with some of the BMs must admit the 1980s was my wild time. Following the split with the ex, which was brutal (hell hath no fury blah blah), I am really enjoying my mid life crisis. Did the stupid thing first and went on the piss for 12 months got fat, pulled women I did'nt even fancy.Now blood pressure through the roof, doc says I'm going through the long grass if I don't sort my self out, quit smoking, joined gym,so I will be match fit when I get there. Can't wait, just luv them thai girls!!! looking forward to buying you guys a beer or 3CHEERS!!!!

Seems like a common and accurate theme. want to enjoy life agian...go to thailand.

Even when I lived back in farangland at the age of 30 I was starting to feel old. It is like from 25 onwards you are just putting in time until you die. Not here. I really like it when I see guys 20 years my senior coming over, being active, and having a great time.

Well done.

Welcome to the board.
If summer breeze is full (going there the next weekend ) a cheap alternative would be CN Hotel, basic, but covers most of the bases, no pool though if thats a big point for you.

Bit like yourself, i hadnt been abroad on holiday for near 38 years till i went last year, so going solo to thailand was a bit daunting, but this forum has all the info you'll need to know. Made the whole trip a doddle.

I wont say hope you have a good time when you get there... i know you will

just finished the free down load, found the story very interesting,particularly the conflict of moral attitudes towards the bgs.Being a bit off an old lefty liberal i'm going to watch mystep as I fear I may be vunerable to the gf experience, I going to try and find some seasoned vets to hang out with, stop me getting my heart broke!. Anybody else read it? its well worth the effort.

that was a great introduction. id suggest you try and get more involved in the forum, which will make it much easier when you get to MTB. either way, you'll have a great time

All the best
