vinapu

very useful site but with photos my word of warning : for reason unknown most of boys whose photos are on their establishments websites are looking much better in the flesh than their pictures in computer and I saw quite of few of them , take my word. It may be that somehow camera doesn't do any good to young Thais. It was reverse with my favorite aunt , God let her rest in peace, who always looked much better on the photo than in real. And I'm talking about times before photoshop was invented. So it may be that some grades of beauty can be appreciated only in flesh and other's are better served by cameras

Good that we have dining choice in the soi with Dick's positioned across the soi from Dreamboys and X-size, beside Bonny Massage so lots of cute boys passing by. Good food, good service, cute waiters. Owner or gentlemen acting as one keeps eye on the business and always wished 'enjoy your meal sir' when dining there, nice tough. You have option of sitting outside facing the soi or inside in A/C comfort. As good as Maxi's so choice is yours.

Dined there frequently during my November trip either alone or with boys special, good food , good service good vantage point to see soi life and to flirt with Bangkok Massage boys right across the soi or with the boys rushing to their bars just before they open. Cute waiters / two of them are sons of one of Dreamboys mamasans / and sometimes live music / guitar duo /, no pressure to order next round of drinks so you can park yourself there for good while. As good as Dick's so choice is yours

Spent 2 night there in November, great location in quiet corner close to the action- soi 6 with Tawan , Nature Boys, Super A , Golden Cock etc is just around the corner literally, Patpong and Sit Twilight short and entertaining walk along the Suriwong. Efficient in and out procedures, breakfast served all day, had double room with breakfast booked so could treat my boys special with breakfast on the site, no eye blinked other than occasional stare of other farangs. Safe in my room did not work but no hassle with one on reception. On Thursday evening free drinks for residents and their guests between 6-7 p.m. if remember correctly . On registration you will receive 10 or so business cards with your name 'in residence" , very classy and handy. And you are treated with welcome drink delivered to your room - nice tough. Two computers available in the lobby free of charge. No hassle with guests, boys were treated he same as other guests, addressed first by the waiting stuff and had doors open for them as for all others. Room well appointed with bathtub, not just shower and king sized bed. Usually I do not spend much on hotels as I consider Malaysia, BBB Inn & Om Yim likes as luxurious enough for me but splurged on this one and I'm happy I did. I liked an atmosphere - quiet and very homey.

Great value for money, spacious and bright rooms, not fancy but well maintained, even elevator and pool there. Coffee shop open 7/24 and so is internet café beside, access 40 baht / hr . but at their rates they need to make some money on something. No problem with guests and use safety deposit boxes on reception hassle free. Famous moneyboys unfortunately disappeared either chased by management or taken away by GayRomeo. In my 2 day there did not see any other than those with farangs already. To my great grief when my off left at 3 a.m. searched in vain even nearby for replacement to no avail. So at least at the time BYO boy. Couple of good restaurants nearby and quite a few massage places. Taxi to/from Silom area 50-60 baht, motorsai the same. But this is only inconvenience of staying there, easy walk to Lumpini MRT and even easier to Babylon sauna. Staff very helpful and minds own business no matter with whom you are walking in and at what time. Book early if you are planning to stay there as often is full, for November stay booked in early July and Agoda showed very few rooms available already , booking.com had none at the time.

Spent 2 nights there in November and consider it one of best values for money one can ask for. Area is not that peaceful as Nartahiwas is dual road but all in Moses post above is true. No street noise sipping to the room-my was facing street. I'm always amazed about no elevator complains, how many of you are travelling with heavy luggage and in wheelchair ? This is 4 floor building not some highrise. Safe in the room worked, restaurant downstairs has very good and inexpensive food , breakfast 70-80 baht. On your way to Silom is exchange counter with one of best rates I saw in BKK during my stay. No problem with guests, their ID will be hold by reception. Great affordable place to stay

Almost universally boys will react to any kind of noise you will make and will ask you if it hurts so squeak, hiss or whatever and pressure will be adjusted. I like strong massages so my problem is reverse- pressure not strong enough but since I like making noises when massaged / not THIS kind of noises ! / I'm speaking from personal experience- any 'ough' will be reacted to. As for Adonis is one of my favourite places, good selection , mostly muscular boys who congregate in mini-garden and in the lobby. Quite a few real hunks. Visited in November .Nobody lied to me but I did not ask questions anyways opting for look and smile. Landed what I expected and left very happy. Booked the same boy /Bom / for long time off week ahead and they made sure he was there waiting and available. If you are taking boy out they want you to pay minimum tip in advance on top of off fee which is no problem and boy received his money from manager in my presence. Not a bad idea and obviously they are protecting boy's earnings this way. Again great encounter and boy was in no rush to leave, in fact this was my longest long time off ever. Place is close to Sathorn end of Convent in small soi , do not get discouraged by the jai-like fence at entrance. Very nice inside

Did not visit but located place. Is on ground floor of the second highrise in the City Court complex on the 'wrong' side of Rama 4. Cross the street by pedestrian bridge across from Soi Ngham Duplee of Malysia Hotel fame, go toward highrises - these are called City Court, in first one you have 3 massage places / Sawatdee, Candle T , Candle Paradise/, in the second one is Sanctuary by A. Very interesting area as is seems farangs are rarity there even if it's just steps from busy and cosmopolitan Rama 4. No boys outside so you need to enter lobby as in other mentioned places in the area.

Definitely not new place , I was first time there around Christmas 2002, day when Thailand played soccer game against Vietnam, game we watched with boy I offed from them after massage. Visited them one Saturday in November after several years of absence. Big and clean place but seemed deserted, only few boys available, last time there 6 or 7 years ago place was as crowded as Hero and 2 mamasans were working so kind of surprise for me this time. Possibly it was just my poor luck, not even exactly poor as guy was very handsome and massage excellent. Big and discrete place in quiet soi , easy walking distance from Chong Nonsi, there's even shortcut from Narathiwas through car repair place, which may be closed at night. Definitely will give them another try, up to this trip this was only place I was returning to the same boy breaking my butterfly mode so I keep soft place in my heart for them.

another great massage place in the soi Twilight, yes . prices cheaper than Hero, roughly in line of what Bangkok Massage is charging. Showers are outside room, décor more utilitarian than Bangkok Massage. Friendly boys and I like their attitude, arranged with boy for long time off next night, when came next day to pick him up it turned he was available only for short time , he himself reduced his price to short time rate and promised to stay with me till 3 a.m. which he did, no excuses , no BS, no request for taxi money, way I like. Some muscular types available there including one in orange undies in the photo above-hope he will be there next time.

I did not stop there on my last trip but was passing by few times every evening and IMHO Banana has most attractive hosts of all beer bars in the soi. New Year resolution - next time to park myself there for couple hours and watch world go by from this excellent vantage point . Somehow always rushing to go-gos and massages I always passed by but never stopped at the place. One is never bored in the soi, first boys are rushing to their bars, than tourists are shyly trickling in and then punters with their boys specials going to that night's dens.

all of the sudden silence - are you on your way back home ?

This is sister bar to Dreamboys, located downstairs from them, sharing boys and show, no need to buy new drink, just after show at Dreamboys is finished all are invited to go downstairs to Boys Bangkok for more fun with drink in hand.

In November visited that bar few times. Yes drink price outrageous -380, off fee even worse - 650 but IMHO best show in Soi Twilight, best looking boys and plenty of them. As for me almost all instantly offable. In fact offed 3 of them , one twice that one was excellent, next one was disaster and last so , so but all of them had looks ! Fuck show participants are not circulating soliciting tips -unique for soi. Mamasans friendly, at least with me. After show all are invited downstairs to Boys Bagkok bar for next show, no need for next drink. So I'd say, gnash your teeth and pay up as this is the best bar in the soi IMO and charges correspondingly. Quite possible boys are expecting higher tips as well. My first long time off wanted 3000 but deserved it , no complains from me. Lots of Asian ladies in attendance and watching them is almost as entertaining as watching performing boys and horse hung ladyboys.

Visited X-Boys bar in November, I was with boy from Arena so did not off anybody and to be honest I was not impressed with their boy selection. But this means nothing as everybody has own taste and mine is more mature muscly boys while X-Boys is staffed by twinky younger men. But they have lots of them My traditional tip for best looking boy went to barker who participated in big cock show. Show standard / candle show, big cock show, fuck show etc... / but very long 1hr 40 minutes, felt sorry for boys as they did not have much time on stage. Fuck show very uninspiring with ugly faced, not bad bodied top and fem bottom- lasted too long and I found S/M motives creepy, my boy did not like it either. Mamasans not pushy but since I was with boy already they did not even try for obvious reason.

they have also massage place called X-Size as well go-go bar upstairs with standard show , frequent drink promotions / 200 baht instead of usual 300. boy drink still 290 /, mamasans not very pushy and nice selection of boys, most of them on twinky side. Personally I liked their boy selection better than at their sister bar across the soi X-Boys

Bar is right under Pavillion Place hotel, when visited actually I liked their selection with several boys of different type from twinks to muscular #2 I couldn't off that night as I was with a boy and couldn't hunt him after, one of my regrets from Nov trip. Quite of few boys I'd consider offable but I'm not as picky as ChristianPFC though Can't comment on mamasan as he was friend of boy I was with so left me alone. Place to go if you are empty handed and Soi Twilight bars are closing but nothing wrong with starting bar tour there. You may get you catch on this side of Suriwong too.

Happy to report I was back in November, one of my boys consolators is from there so drop daily at least to say hallo. I second devint's sentiments and like the place and it's boys. In May I got boy from rotation , now it seems you can grab one from the bench outside, yes they are glued to their smartphones as in picture which makes kind of funny scene if you are dining at Maxi's across the soi. But don't be discouraged by this - massage always very good, happy ending offered and provided, interior very nicely decorated and all boys friendly and on manly side. Two mamasans quite muscular , I always tip them 100 and request big hug in exchange - gladly provided and I have low cost fun. As for firecat's comments possibly / it's just a guess / they noticed that pestering passing clients doesn't help them much. Based on few observations as I was dining at Maxi almost daily-when they tried to stop people with leaflets they simply walked away, when they did not do anything glued to the screens usually somebody stopped there. May be lack of eye contact it's less intimidating for prospective clients ? It's like in the bar, if mamasan descends on me right away chances are I'll walk out fast, if they leave me alone for a while I may be more inclined to make eye contact with boy on stage and even invite him to sit with me and buy him a drink. Boys at Bonny and X-size seem to be more aggressive looking for business and actually boy from X-size was successful fishing me against my desire / skinny twink, not my type/ . Boy from Bonny I liked I ignored passing but looked at him when dining at Dick's on occasion which he noticed, I looked back and smiled , he smiled and deal arranged.

I'm biased in favor , repeated visit in November, saw the same two boys, actually offed them both / Dit even twice/ on separate occasions. They did not charge me off fee on two occasions in the evening when I had massage in the place during day even if massage was with different boy that I was taking away, certainly nice gesture. Sure boys were at end of their shift anyways but I was expecting to pay and they knew it, still did not charge me. As Pong noticed plaza seems deserted but only on upper floor , ground floor if full of different venues including popular exchange counter and few restaurants and it's right on the corner of Silom and Narathiwas. Interior could do with renovations or coat of paint as Pong mentioned but is not that bad and minimum tip indicated is 500 only / shower massage , hand job included/, more obviously extra

returned in November twice and I confirm previous experience, good selection of boys of all types including few muscular for me, great massage , great room not to be missed. No boys outside, when you enter they will be lining up for you inside spacious lobby, steps from Silom

Good budget option, spent two days there in November, not fancy place but clean and hassle free, as noted above Screwboys bar is right on the ground floor of hotel. Elevator works as reception is on 3rd floor. No bar noises in the room , A/C a little dated but working, in fact did not use it at night despite being in company of hotie from ARENA. Use safety deposit box on reception-hassle free. No safe in the room but fridge stocked . No free water, if you use one from fridge charge is 10 baht only. No breakfast but you can have one at Foodland, 50 m away in the same soi, 59 baht before 9 , 69 after and good selection of Thai food options if breakfasting with your boy. No problem with joiners obviously neither with straights entertaining their ladies and ladyboys. Malaysia and Om Yim are slightly cheaper budget options but Pavillion is right there in Patpong !

there is very narrow lane leading to the hotel from Chong Nonsi station, another budget hotel Niagara / with short therm rooms available / around the corner. No problem with joiners at both places

Candle T and Candle Paradise are beside each other , possibly even related as their signs are similar. They are along with Sawatdee Spa on the street level of the carpark at first of few highrises called City Court, walking distance from Lumpini MRT and Pinnacle Lumpini / Malaysia hotels. Just cross Rama using pedestrian bridge and go toward highrises 100 m away. Interesting and very Thai area just steps from cosmopolitan bustle of Sathorn. Did not use Candle's sevices but looks very decent from outside. On the ground level of second highrise is Sanctuary by A , another man to man massage place, so we have choice of 4 decent places in the immediate area

I second Michael comments, this is king of man to man massage places in Thailand. Selection method not as intimidating as in places where boys are too close to comfort of some , here glass wall and usually few other clients in the lobby and no pressure from mamasan puts you at ease. Plenty boys available, most on manly, muscular side. VIP room looks like hotel room with all comforts. Boy will shower with you before and after massage. If you can't decide you can have meal or drink in restaurant with good view at the glassed enclosure and boys inside. Although there's conventional wisdom one should not have a meals right before massage. Not difficult to find , keep going up to soi 11, when it forks , take left fork and keep going-there's neon sign at end of soi on your left . Any motorsai driver at mouth of soi 11 knows the place but its nice walk as soi is pretty busy. If you get lost there's Banana Club on your way. Being big fan of massages can't imagine being in BKK and not visiting place at least once unless you like being massaged by skinny but cut twinks -stay in Silom for that.

There are two another posts with my impressions from the last trip, one about hotels and Bkk Transport, another one about my go-go bars and boys any my Pattaya city impressions. readers may wish to check them in their hour of boredom For some reason this massage post is much more popular than other two and I don't know reason is subject or other two are poorly written or simply overlooked. Everything was written with newbies planning first foray to LOS in mind so some may find it helpful. http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/9343-impresions-from-november-2013-trip-flight-hotels-bkk-transport-money-regular-tips/ http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/9344-impressions-from-november-2013-trip-go-go-bars-and-boys-views-on-pattaya/
