vinapu

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/

my problem last time was not they did not want to stay long time but they did not want me to interrupt their precious sleep so Nirish is right , it's us farangs who are bringing this misery on ourselves by stocking unrealistic demands. On more positive note boy from A-Bomb I was planning to house overnight told me up front , before actual off he is for short time only, another one from Bonny Massage / BKK / changed his plans but again informed me up front before we left and suggested realistic reduction of his tip for short time and kept his side of bargain leaving at 3 a.m . on the dot as agreed so not all is that bad.

I wonder who pays for those 300 vans.

you dirty mind you ! It will work , in fact any bottle would, stopped at Bangkok massage on my way from Family Mart with bottle of whisky, it was nice to try if it's strong enough with my boy at end of massage.

Good luck with you battling the flu, it's very unhealthy thing to be sick !

Most of premium brands are just avenues to extract more money in exchange for a nice bottle to the stuff inside. Yes , I agree , vodka should be taken neat and cold. I keep mine in the freezer all the time.

more boys and more drinks.... have a fun !

at night it would be disaster but during day you can buy visa , hop on subway and in less than 1 hr. you are at Hippodrome where Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia is or at Kapali Carsi / covered bazar

Love makes us stupid moneywise and you gave good example , 2 drinks at 1000 =2000 , he could have this coyote in his bed likely for that much. On another hand if he run out of money he is not completely hazed in his mind. This is patent I exercise too - go with fixed amount of money and no card on me to guarantee that even if get too crazy will not spend what's allocated for that night. At least you guys showed good heart helping him to overcome shyness a bit

Fate had it that it were my boys both nights who complained about their inability to sleep , not due to noise but because me trying to be too active in the bed to their taste. No more Cambodian boys long time in any Boyztown hotel - this is my New Year resolution. On more serious note this is always trade in- being close to the action and inconvenienced by the said action at the same time. It's why I'm such fan of BBB Inn- quiet place around the corner from Soi Twilight mayhem.

OMG, what kind of vodka it that ? 44 $ per bottle, better check as it must be gold coin inside bottle. Thank for warning about c/c surcharge, obviously 10 %, my friend is flying to Sri Lanka through PEK on Sunday, called him already to have a cash handy on transit there.

No wonder bars there are being closed and boys left to their fate, I'm not better and did not drop by even one when there 2 weeks ago

Nice alternative to crowds at Chatuchak market, 20 km from Swampy look quite affordable by taxi for those without vehicle but like ChristianPFC will find public transport way of getting there

Thank you, actually I put some thought into 3 best section and I'm glad somebody likes it. You will be happy in Sukhumvit area, quite a few nice massage places there if you are interested and not that far from Silom. Night market along Sukhumvit will keep you entertained and if you shopper quite a few very classy shopping centers along BTS line, some direct link to BTS stations so no need even to go to street level. Although I personally like Silom area better, closer to Soi Twilight and to the river and much less farangs parading with Thai 'wives' .
