I'm headed for Vienna in November and there has been some recent facebook activity for Alte Lampe (formerly Cafe Rudiger?). Some of the guys in these pics look hot. They were posted in the last few days, but could be old pics. Looking forward to checking this place out. Would be interested to know if anyone else is visiting. https://www.facebook.com/cafealtelampe

Agreed. Terper, would love to hear about the China scene.

I've had the odd experience like this as well roughjock - in different places - but don't let it totally put you off. I went to screwboys for the first time last year and had great experience with a Viet that I met there.

Hi. Does anyone have any experience in Naples? I'm visiting in Spring. Thought it would be the kind of place that would be great for rough trade, but I can't find anything online. Thanks, Jack

Yes, both those bars had a big cock show. And yeah, Jupiter had a towel/strip show, which is really hot. The guys performing it seemed to vary on different nights.

Hello Everyone I'm devastated to have just returned home from a trip to BKK. I hadn't been since 2019 and definitely made up for lost time. It was sad to see Soi Twilight gone since I was last there, but also exciting to see new (and old) bars sprouting up across the street. I don't do massage places, so this is just some notes on the bars I visited Dreamboys Dreamboys (original) was the first bar I ever visited in BKK, and we've made a tradition of always visiting here on our first night. I always remember this place more for its crazy shows - like where the big inflatable cock squirted water over everyone. That seems gone now sadly. New venue is a good size. Boys are of mixed type. I'm concious from other threads that the owner fired non-Thai boys. I met one Viet working in Fresh Boys who said he had been let go from Dreamboys recently, but didn't elaborate, so this might be related. Jupiter Probably the bar that excites me the most and frustates me the most in all of Bangkok. Most of the guys here are undoubtely gorgeous - straight looking, athletic, confident types - some very good looking. This bar has a slightly cooler atmosphere to it. Some members complain about perhaps the boys being too... modelly. I get that. But they work for me. I have to say that their shows are the sexiest. I find most bars don't use best looking boys for the shows (maybe the best looking boys are not the best performers) but in Jupiter, the guys performing are great. The guys are all shirtless and will do 3 or 4 parades around the bar - sometimes in pants, and sometimes in jeans. Always seemed to be busy. We visited 3 times - even early in the week at 10, and could barely get a seat! But I find this place frustrating because the best looking guys almost always seemed to be taken quickly (or reserved) by high-rollers, VIPs, or rowdy tables of young women. Only on the last night, did one of the mamasans show any interest in asking us if we we wanted anything. He took me "shopping" backstage to find boy I liked. Worked out in the end... On a side note, a couple of guys I was interested were performers, but did not wear numbers on their jeans on the final "walk" of the night. Could not tell if they were simply non-offable performers, or perhaps if they were already taken. Does anyone know why they walk without numbers? On a second side note - some v cute, young-looking waiters - with numbers. Strange mix. I would imagine that the people coming to see the guys at Jupiter, would not be interested in this type. Moonlight I like the atmosphere in this bar. Even on a late weekday night, the place was busy with all kinds of customers, and everyone excited to see the performers. I have to admit, I had grown tired of seeing all the usual "superstars" in pics and videos online. But they still put on a great show. And seeing Babe perform again in person - he is beautiful. That smile! The selection of boys is good looking - feel like they have a similar vibe to Jupiter - the kind of guys young female tourists want to drink with. Most wore jeans & t-shirts. Tawan Only visited here once. Only ever visit here once on any trip. I take a notion to see these big guys out of curiosity, but ultimately bodybuilders are not my type, and the show is too rough for me - it had whipping, cigarettes, wax etc. As some members have pointed out, I did see one twink here - but he seemed to be the bottom for the muscle boys. He got carrieed around the room, table to table, for tips, while being f*cked. Fresh Boys Really liked the selction of guys here. Almost totally twinks (some twunks). All shirtless. They did a big cock show where they whack their dicks against a metal pole. Ouch. Hot Male Only visited here once, briefly, after midnight. The guys were attractive and nice bodies. I didn't see much of interest for myself, but I don't want to say its indicative of the bar, given how late I visited. Screw Boy First revalation of the trip. I don't know why I didn't visit here on previous trips. I sometimes got a sense from this forum that this bar was seedy or low class or something, so I was never really inclined to go. We ended up here somewhat accidentally when, after leaving a last minute, post-midnight trip to Fresh Boys, empty-handed, a hawker grabbed us surreptitiously on the staircase. "Show at 1!" So we went in. Really liked this place. I was delighted, not just to find a bar that opened later than the others on this street (they do shows at 1 am), but it had lots of really cute young guys, a fun atmostphere (opposite of cool atmosphere of Jupiter), 2 fun, friendly mamasans, good music and also a young male performer who looked like he could be an idol or something (later discovered he is a male performer on the Ladyboys of Bangkok tour). The guys all wore matching white baseketball outfits. Visited here 3 times. Banana Bar Second revalation of the trip. I was not going to go to this bar because there was nothing written about it in the forums that made it particularly stand out to me. But I was left alone by my friend one night of the trip because of a business meeting. After a drink alone at Connections Bar on Soi 4, I decided to wander in and had a great night. Beautiful ladyboys and performers, who had toured the UK as part of "The Ladyboys of Bangkok". Main performer very handsome. Waiters were friendly. And also I was startled to meet the mamasan here who used to work in X-Boys. I spoke to her about some of the changes since I had last been here. Of course a lot of money was spent. Amateur. Went back second night, but attention was on a VIP table. Mamasan told us same customer had spent 100k tips on a previous night. Wow. Had the same big cock pole whacking show as Fresh Boys. G's Third revelation of the trip. Sorry, I know this isn't about a bar - but I had never been to G's restaurant before on Soi 4. My friend and I went one night and got German/Thai fusion dishes which were delicious. Fully intended to go here again, but didn't due to other commitments, but this will definitely be a stop for dinner on the next trip. Recommended! Did not get to visit Sol or New Twilight unfortunately. Frustations with "Line" - had line contact for one of the Moonlight stars but when I logged into a very old account, it wouldn't let me add new contacts. So I tried to sign out and back in again, but said my account was blocked for 58 days. End of that adventure. Very sad and exhausted to be home now. But hope you enjoy my notes.

Thanks for your post Flaneur. I'm loving all the new reports on the forum at the moment. I'm heading back to BKK next week after an absence of nearly FOUR years. I'm besides myself with excitement and these reports are getting me into the spirit.

Thanks for your great report. What kind of guys are in Fresh boys? I was here once when it was in Soi Twilight, but I wasn't into them at all. Seemed not quite twinks, but also not quite jocks.

Thanks for your reporting Jason. Great info here. I'm booked back to BKK later in the year, after a long hiatus, and very excited. You mention that on Monday night Jupiter had a surprisingly large amount of guys, and yet much less on Wednesday. It would be interesting to know if there are "good nights" for certain bars. I've seen this kind of discussion on the forums about the saunas in Rio and Sao Paulo (I have never visited Brazil), but never about Bangkok. Do you think it is just totally random, or if there is some particular reason for this?

Hey Talramund. I've pm'd you the link.

Hey guys. Just for an update, I'm back from Rome. I didn't visit the cinema. I saw a video online where an Italian journalist visited Ambasciatori and got into a dangerous situation, which put me off. However, I did find a great Italian guy on Hunqz, who was briefly visiting Rome before moving on to another city. I met him twice. I also had a look at the park mentioned above, once, in the early evening, and saw 4 or 5 Romanian-looking guys. Only one of them was attractive. But I had my online guy booked anyway, so I didn't follow it up any further. Great city, and I did get lucky with the hunqz guy, but aside from that not a lot of trade

Thanks Floridarob. I like Romanians. I've had some negative experiences with them as well, in Milan, but I can't resist haha. I'll have a look here. Was your experience recent or a long time ago? And what time of day was this at?

Thanks Telramund. I think I read about this place somewhere else. I'll look into it.

Hey Guys I'm in Rome this summer, but there doesn't seem to be a big gay scene here. Is anyone familiar with any places for trade in Rome? Thanks, J

Thanks for your report HiThereAll. Are there escorts at Boyberry, or was it just normal guys?

Hi guys. Not sure if this question has already been raised or answered.... but I notice in the daily facebook videos from Jupiter, none of the guys wear numbers. Does this mean they are all booked?

Does this mean Lucky Boys (or the proprieters of Lucky Boys) will not be returning? Shame if so. I was looking forward to visiting it next time I'm in Bangkok, but never got the chance.

Is this really a thing?

Sounds like it was an amazing trip Vinapu. Well done!

I don't need an hour 😂

I'm actually loving this thread. Wish you luck with the food vendor, Chum. I feel this so much haha.

On my trips to Thailand, I typically go for around 10 days, but spend only 2 or 3 days in Pattaya - the rest in BKK. I've always enjoyed the side excursions to Pattaya. But when my trips to Thailand resume, I'm thinking of no longer going to Pattaya. It just doesn't seem worth travelling down there, just to visit slightly different bars, when the bars and guys in BKK are so good. Secondly, as mentioned on posts above, I find there is not much to do in Pattaya during the day and the selection of restaurants and hotels there are not as good. (In BKK, I can't fit in the amount of different restaurants I want to try - but in Pattaya, I can barely find any). My sense from reading these forums is that there was a craziness in the Pattaya scene many years ago - which was worth coming to see. But unfortunately that seems to have faded, and now the scene seems like just a smaller version of BKK.

I find Viet boys gorgeous! I'm thinking of some of the Viet guys I've "known" from Jupiter (and some cute waiters from X-Boys, in Soi Twilight days). I don't think I've ever been to Fresh Boys, but I will definitely add it to the list for next time.

I'm delighted to read all the active threads about Bangkok again. Great to hear.

Anyone been to Cafe Rudiger?
