I made it to Bangkok mid-day, yesterday, Saturday...which was Visalia Buddha Day. As FloridaRob noted elsewhere in the Forum that translates into NO ALCOHOL until midnight. I flew in on Thai airways from Hong Kong. I arrived in Hong Kong from San Francisco Friday evening. I stayed at the Regal Airport Hotel which is a walkway away from Terminal 1. It’s decent and seems to house tourists like me who don’t want to wander around the terminal and sleep on benches waiting for their connection, it also houses flight crews from a roster of airlines. Note: Romeo and Blued were filled with what looked to be flight attendants. Rant - periodically in this trip report, I may use the space to vent. Here is the first one - I was pleased to note that I was upgraded on the flight to HK...this was the second time in a week, having received the same courtesy going to London 6 days prior. Nice, but with the lay-flat seats, it’s claustrophobic! I was never comfortable in the flat bed as I’m a side sleeper. The UA beds are designed for those who sleep on their backs. Back in the days without cubbyhole business seating, the seats reclined but not into beds, I was always able to sleep...Actually, once I turned the bed into more of a recliner I slept. One more addition to this rant: is there a rule that window shades should be down throughout the flight. Only three were up even for landing. Increases my sense of being in a cave...and unlike the Thai soccer boys, not sure of a rescue. Rave - rants should be offset by raves. This rave is for my fellow Forum members. BiggusDikkus’s reminiscence of his tour led visit to Galaxy Boys, reminded me of how much reading this Forum and taking in the advice helped when I returned to Thailand after a two decade absence. Examples from the first hours of this trip. As I report on my visit, I’ll note where there was a Forum insight. Thai’s flight from HK was comfortable and all the window shades were up. I had a row to myself, the 777-300 was only half full. One incredibly handsome, sexy guy, a row over. BUT he was with his wife/girl friend and the mother of one of them was in Business. Enjoyable eye candy. Arriving close to on time, it was a good half mile to immigration. Incredibly handsome guy and family sped by in a cart. My mind goes to Crazy Rich Asians. Get to immigration and it is jammed. Forum Rave note; a few years back one of the Forum members, perhaps PaulSF, told me about the priority channel...which is for diplomats, monks, and folks over 70. I’m in one of those categories and was the only one using the channel. Note - if it hasn’t been mentioned already, immigration is collecting fingerprint scans as part of the arrival process. My luggage was arriving at the carrousel just as I did. Incredibly handsome guy was there with two assistants pulling luggage. Then I noticed that the mom was in a wheelchair...explaining the ride from the plane and the need for the help with luggage he’s still handsome... Forum rave = this was one of the very rate times I’ve arrived when the trains are running to the City. I carefully followed the directions provided more than once by Vinapu. Go to level B, use the machines, take the token, but (Forum rave) find the currency exchange as noted. My rate was 31.71 to the dollar. Took the train, changed as instructed in the Forum, using escalators and lifts, only had to tote my bag and backpack down some steps at Sala Daeng to use the escalator in the Thania Building. 90 minutes after landing I was wheeling my suitcase. Into the Tarntawan and greeted by the desk staff, one of whom has been there since the Lukas era. I had been assigned to my favorite room on the 5th floor. It’s a two room set up and has many happy memories for me of good times and many boys. I unpacked, put my important things in the safe. After washing up, I went to Prime Massage. It was 5pm and I was told I could reserve for 6pm. OK...I used the time to check for neighborhood changes. There is a hotel complex being created in the space between the Tarntawan and the apartment building across from Prime. Last year, I read the sign wrong and told DivineMadman it was an expansion of the hospital. Wrong.No construction was visible. Went to Soi 4 where the massage boys were out from both Adam and Nikrat. Tempting. I located Banana Bar on 4 but saw it would be closed tonight due to the no alcohol holiday. Tables were being set up at Telephone I checked in with my workout shirt vendor who will pull some shirts in my size for me to pick up later. Now to Patpong 2...things seem concentrated what with Screwboys and DreamBoiz on the street level, and Lucky Boys, Fresh Boys, Hot Male one flight up. Could be tricky for members who are agility shy. Back to Prime for a luxurious one hour foot massage, followed by a classic “it will feel better once the pain stops” Thai massage. Just what I need as I’d been in planes for more than forty hours in the past ten days. Masseur was Yo and I’d like to have him for another pain session. It was now 8:30 so I sought out some street food and went looking around. The Forum has a report that there were two new male bars on Patpong 1. I found Banana and let the Mamasan pull me in with a severely discounted drink price of 200...remember no alcohol so $6 for a coke...interesting set up, with what looks to be a stage in a triangular shaped room. 6 boys, all twinks. One other boy was the music master and energizer bunny. Mamasan told me she had a room upstairs. I enjoyed talking with her and about the month they had been open. Could use more business. It was too early for an off so I noted that the Udon Thani energizer was a future possibility. As I left, I was grabbed by a tout, I thought he might be from the other new gay bar...he wasn’t and I didn’t take up[ his offer for a reduced rate for watching pole dancing. I later learn the other new gay bar on Patpong 1 is right next door to Banana. I decided it was time to head over to Patpong 2...Moonlight was closed for the holy day and so was Hot Male, which I learned after I’d climbed the stairs. The grabber for Lucky Boys moved in before the Dream Bois grabber. Up a flight of brightly lit stairs, entrance lobby is brightly lit and seems to be the location for the toilets/changing areas. Let into the main room, who was there to greet me but Mamasan Lucy! Quickly she ushered me to a table with a clear view of the stage and a drink order given (350 tonight as its no alcohol until midnight). I immediately noticed no one was on the stage but there are a lot of guys in the room all are still dressed and wearing numbers as are the waiters. (Forum confirmation. = the waiters are offable). There are some other customers, two of whom are female. Lucy knows why I’m there, so I can’t pull any of Vinapu’s Mamasan brush offs. We talk, she brings over a Cambodian boy, 23 years old. I buy him a drink, we talk - we have nothing in common. There is an announcement of some sort and all the boys stand up and move to the changing areas. At 9pm, the boys, other than the waiters, move into performance wear, or lack of. Lots of smiles to me, I’m one of the few possible customers at this hour on a holy day, so I don’t put it down to my innate charm. About 30 boys take to stage with at least a dozen waiting for stage space to open up. I should note that it’s a really impressive space and well designed. But, I digress. Lucy’s chosen returns in his boxers and knowing he isn’t going to be my choice, tells me about some of the boys on stage as I indicate who looks attractive to me. Guys range between twinks and lightly muscled guys. He suggests a couple of guys - he favors Cambodians (surprise). Lucy checks in, She brings over one of the boys I was interested in. I give Mr. Cambodia 100 THB and thank him. He gives me a kiss. New guy is handsome, good tight musculature, and Vietnamese. I ask about what he likes/is willing to do. Note: he’s Vietnamese, so I’m pretty sure of the answer...to my surprise he is willing to do even less than most Vietnamese. Another 100 and thank you for your time. While my inquisition was taking place, many of the others boys swan by and blow kisses and some rub my back. Lucy brings over #22. Name is Hab. 24. Cambodian. Good English. Says in English he does everything. Lucy confirms. I like his look and his answers, so I tell him to get dressed. While he is dressing one of the waiters comes over and tells me that I will like Hab. Waiter is from Cambodia! Hab returns, I settle up. Off fee is 400. Short time agreed at 2000. Note: Lucky Boys has an accounting system. Each successive slip in the check bin, increases the total charged. So while there were multiple slips in the bin, only the most recent was the one for payment. After, Lucy insists on giving me a goodbye kiss, Hab and I leave for the Tarntawan. We pause at DreamBois for a look. Really small, shirtless guy on stage. Make a mental note to return. Back in the room at the Tarntawan he was everything he promised and more. Attentive, submissive, dominant, as needed or wished. I finished before he did and his cumshot was enormous spraying him and me. After a shower, we settled back for some in bed bonding. He left when it was time to catch his 3am visa run bus. I recommend Hab...note if you ever off him, his erogenous zone is his left nipple. I know, I know more information than is needed. All in all, not a bad first day in Bangkok. Actually, it was a great day. Please excuse typos etc as I writing this on an ipad - which limits my ability to check things.

There are 5 gay clubs on Patpong 2. On ground level are Dream Boy Paradiso and Screwboys. One flight up are Hot Male and Hot Male Bar, Freshboys, and Lucky Boys. Nearby just across and up a soi is Moonlight, the current reigning champion. On soi 4 off of Silom is Banana Club, Stranger Bar - the House of Drag Queens, and Jupiter - which is Moonlight’s closest competition on Patpong 1 - are two places that opened in the last month or so - Banana and Superboyz. I estimate no Club is more than 5 minutes from any other, except for Tawan, Golden Cock, Super A, and Nature Boy, which a few minutes further down Surawong and nestled close to one other.

What a great report, as always. In case some readers do not know, here is a picture of your mamasan/love interest Lucy. She's one of the mamasans that is pretty much guaranteed to kill my interest in anything other than running away as fast and as far as possible, but you are a far more kind and gentle soul than I. Up to you if you might think the 300 is her long-term off-rate.

Mention of The Royal Cliff brought back memories. My first visit to Thailand was about 15 years when I came with 2 friends on a multi centre package (Flight and hotels in Bangkok/Phuket/Pattaya) The Pattaya Hotel was the Royal Cliff, when I brought a young man back for the night it was no problem, he left his ID at reception and there was a charge of 500 bht (at 70baht = 1GBP) Happy days, I never thought then I would now be living in Thailand with my partner of 10 years (not the same guy)

I don't think it was an off fee, at least not the whole thing. I'm sure the tout made off with at least 1,000 baht. And I am also sure that I bought a drink for the guy who came to sit with me. I probably bought more drinks than that. But not 2,200 baht worth, and I never signaled that I would “off” the boy from Isaan. But it was clear to me that I would be paying at least 2,200 baht before I could leave, not that any threats were ever made. It was more like persistent pressure.

Just a note on the weather...it’s predicted to hit 36c this afternoon - which curtails some of daytime activities. Due to interest on the Forum (and my own interest) I’m trying to visit the new venues and the old venues in new locations before returning to Moonlight and Jupiter...and Golden Cock. If time permits, I’ll check out Tawan.

Hi friends. Still here and keeping busy sucking large dicks, making friends, getting to the beach, attending a gay political conference, visiting Cine Lido, staying cool, staying in Las Terranas, and seeing movies. Full reports later! Glad I gave myself a long vacation here.

Is it true that a new fad is catching on with the young male set...over 18, of course. The way I hear it is that these guys sit on the throne-well, the toilet, and use Facebook Live to show themselves masturbating. They compete against willing guys who do the same, with the prize going to the guy who comes first. So far distance contests have been hard to arrange. Anyone else hear about this?

Photos by way of illustrating only...no throne game! Notice how I didn't violate the rule about nudity in an open forum!

Just said goodbye to an incredible almost perfect off from Moonlight. I’ll post more in my trip report. His name is Shy - he isn’t.

So now that Soi Twilight is closed, what does this mean from a practical standpoint? When I was there before, what I thought was nice about that area was that it was self-contained, sort of a one-stop shopping place, where you could go in and out of the different clubs that were all centered around massage and the gogo boys. So now that it's closed - and some of the gogo bars have moved, what are the other areas that cater to the gogo bars like? Are they still self-contained - or are they now on streets that have a mix of "straight" bars or bars that cater to straight guys with dancing girls? Are there other streets that are comprised exclusively of gogo boy bars where you can go in and out of a lot of different bars and check out the boys in each one?

Tony Leather which for many years could be found just to the right of Twilight was included in the shut down. New location is almost directly across from Hilton Tailor - the place ant will make suits and also does laundry.. tony has made shoes, belts, and two”leather jackets for me over the years. Custom made shoes for less than a pair of Eccos at home. definite recommendation.

As much as I dislike Trump and his behavior, the form (Suspicious Activity Report - SAR) discussed in the article is a standard form that even a small dollar amount will trigger its filing. That amount is only $5,000.00. There were approximately two million SARs filed in 2017 against various people and entities that had dealings with Banks and Western Union, Paypal and similar type financial companies. As the article discussed, the government did nothing about the form filed against Trump and his buddy, Kuschner. With more than two million SAR documents filed in 2017, can anyone take a guess where the government would find the manpower to pursue any possible wrongdoing against any perpetrator or against the subject of such a SAR form? The form is really a scare tactic and has little meaning. Few SARs are ever pursued by the government. Thus, our hideous King Trump, remains quite quick and well, doing as he pleases, while appearing immune to any laws, especially the laws surrounding the Constitution of the U.S. It is a shame that the prestigious New York Times did not look into the uselessness of the form before the article sparked hope in some of its readers. If anyone wants to be bored to death about what a SAR is, here is a relatively short article that explains its purpose and its useless functions. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/suspicious-activity-report.asp More exciting nonsense reading: https://www.ffiec.gov/bsa_aml_infobase/pages_manual/olm_015.htm

Thanks, DrimVoiz and vinapu. I'm planning a trip a few months from now so this is very helpful. Yes, Mr. Musclegod Mekhim sounds great and it's also good to know that there are other options. A huge, ripped musclegod is definitely my first choice, but I also love a ripped fitness model type. So I guess that I could see who is at Arena and I can also check out some of the non-Tawan shows. But since there are so many places to check out in Soi Twilight (and other places in Bangkok), hopefully in the next few months you and other folks in the forum can update this thread for the latest intel on where the muscle guys of the moment happen to be. Thanks again!

I would later look for it, on several occasions, but without much success. That first night in Bangkok, as I was leaving Galaxy Boys, I was told to go in the opposite direction from how we arrived. As it turned out, the soi the bar was on met up with Surawong, maybe a block and a half from the hotel I was staying at. Also as it turned out, I had been on Soi 4 when the tout led me away. I found that out the very next night, when I had to find Telephone to meet a Japanese friend who was also traveling in Thailand for the first time. This night, I arrived a bit early. I didn't want to repeat my mistakes of the previous night, regardless of how adventurous they turned out. So I was better prepared when the same tout approached me again. I gave him a firm no. This time instead of craning my head and looking at the businesses as I passed by I would look ahead of me, and sure enough, there was Telephone, not far up the soi, on the left. How could I have missed it last night? But before I could step inside I was again waylaid. This time by something or someone tugging at the cuff of one of my pant legs. I looked down. It was a little boy. He looked barely old enought to walk but he must have also been able to run. How else could have he sneaked up on me? When I stopped to look down and met his gaze, he bowed, his hands together, in what I had read was a wai. I was gonna ignore him and just head to Telephone, mindful of what had happened the night before when I had allowed myself to be so easily swayed. But something about that small, barefooted kid tugged at my heart. I got to wondering how old he was. Couldn't've been much more than 3, if that. And then my over-active mind stirred up recollections of what I might have been doing on a Saturday night when I was 3. I pictured myself sitting on a carpeted floor, in a converted garage, watching a black and white TV with my brothers and sisters, none of whom were hungry that night, none of whom had ever known what hunger must feel like. I had a fortunate middle-class upbringing. And now in my early 30s I was able to travel to an exotic destination half way around the world from where I had grown up. Why was I fortunate to enjoy this little boy's country while he was in the street begging? So I decided to reach into my pocket, dig out some change and drop it into his hands. Then I had a second thought. I pulled out my wallet, squatted down so the two of us, the fortunate tourist and the hungry native, might be face to face. I peeled off a couple 100-baht notes, folded them up and handed them over. As soon as I did, the little boy did the fastest 180 I'd ever seen and scampered away with surprising speed until he was safe at the feet of his mother, tugging at the hem of her skirt. I remained in a squatting position, rather shocked that I didn't get even a “thank you.” I felt almost wounded not getting one. And now I would have to stand up and let everyone in this crowded street see my embarrassment, gawk at the gullible tourist. My Bangkok trip was not turning out how I had planned. Still squatting and looking toward where the little boy had run, I decided to stand up and to walk as quickly as possible to the door of Telephone. I had already spotted the entrance before I felt the tugging at my leg. Now it promised me sanctuary from the stares and snickering of bystanders. So I stood up, ready too make a beeline for my goal when the most surprising and gratifying thing happened. Everyone sitting down at the outside tables along Soi 4 had apparently been watching my encounter because they broke into applause. I looked around. So many young smiling Thai faces. I paused to soak up the Saturday night energy, which had suddenly turned very positive. I smiled back, then walked into Telephone. That great energy would last. It turned into one of the greatest nights of my life, one that would not end until 5am. Really, though, it did not end until two Sundays later, when it was time to go back home. I had a late flight, after midnight, so in the afternoon, with a few hours to spare, I thought I'd go look for Galaxy Boys. It seemed fitting to spend my last night in Bangkok — after saying goodbye and exchanging phone numbers with all the people I had met during my stay — in the same bar where I had spent my first night. That same sleazy bar I had never told anybody about. I got lost, though, and could not find it. Still, there's a story from my search that still rattles around my mind on a daily basis. Perhaps that story will be my next entry in this thread.

DivineMadman - where did you get such a flattering photo of Lucy? She’s now dressed in yellow in honor of the King.

original poster asked for place with muscular guys so it was hard to direct him to Lucky or Fresh Boys

it can be done but not in every bar nor to every boy. I never saw anything that intimate in Moonlight not Jupiter but guys in Tawan sometimes even initiate such a move. In Sunee bars in Pattaya it much more common and kind of encouraged

Tawan is really ur fave Vinapu, its understandable bcoz aside from the muscular boys they've got the most explicit show I've ever seen, haa haa, also try Sun Massage beside Tawan, some of their boys are masseurs in there (though most are twinks)...I had a massage with a Tawan boy there and I really like it, very pleasurable!!!

I think the one on the left is fairly cute, but then I'm not in the military, so I guess that's no problem. More seriously, I'm getting too old for all this shit. Even a couple of decades ago, who would have dreamed that a Chinese corporation would wind up owning the world's go-to gay hookup app? LOL, that there would even be such a thing as a gay hookup app? My brain just gets weirded out by this kind of stuff.

Look like anxious way story telling on 1st night at BKK. Good experience though.

Great Stuff! Almost feels exactly the same as my first night in Bkk! Except that was in 2000 and Galaxy boys was probably gone then... Instead your tout (and it undoubtedly was!) took me to BoyZone on Silom Soi 3

Delightful!

Arrived at 7 pm at the Cine Lido tonight. Was soon sucking on a moderate sized cock near the entrance. Got bored quick and after strapping on my knee pads, want on the hunt for a big cock to suck. Two thin dudes, one black and the other Latino, sitting next to each other were stroking their huge pieces of meat. The Latino man was super long and uncut and perfectly shaped for throating. He kicked back watching the boring straight porn and I spit polished him. True throat stretching. The black man had a 30 something muscle hunk on his knees sucking him. I squeezed the hunk's massive arms and he pulled his stretch work out pants off, then put a condom on the black dick before facing the screen and getting butt fucked. Stays in the scene a while longer before needing a break. Walked around and a stocky Latin pulled me over to a wall, took out his sizeable rod and I got down to blow him. Found myself chased by an enormous chub boy and enjoyed the attention but wasn't into getting my dick sucked. Rest of my time tonight was watching the muscle hunk getting plowed again, and two other butt fucked scenes. Smaller crowd than my first visit but found the sex I needed. I prefer the Cine Lido over the sauna because there is less parading, men are there to get it on and scenes last longer. Feeling ready to visit Juan binbin and suck off a black cock for a solid hour and in a more suitable space than either the baths or theater.

Made it to Cine Lido on Monday night and was advised it was a slow night. Over the course of 90 minutes about forty men passed through the place. Only 150 pesos or 3 bucks get in. Strapped on my knee pads, my eyes adjusted to the dark theater and soon found a thin black guy with a big cock to suck, then a few other nice pieces of meat. One dude wanted payment and I firmly told him no. All action was in the seats or against the walls. Nothing went on in the brightly lit restroom. Suck out one tasty load. Last cock of the night was the best, attached to a mature Latino bull with thick hard uncut inches and that really stretched my throat. If that's a slow night, I'm ready for a busy one. Going back tonight. It's close to my hotel but I used Uber there and back.

I respect everybody who travel to Brazil to enjoy the beaches, the culture and the boys.... I enjoy reading the forums, posts and responses.... I definitely enjoy the photos... In an effort to be completely positive, I want to let everybody who enjoys the forums know that I enjoy being part of these forum and do not like engaging in ANY negativity... Please share with me and others what you enjoy MOST about Brazil....whether a place, thing or person.... Cheers....

strange , but only now seeing picture above I realized that it is all true,

Soi Twilight has closed and most of the bars moved to Patpong 2. For a ripped fitness model type, try Moonlight bar.
