Yes VCK seems to be open according to their Wechat and they have been posting some of their boys lineup there

Thailand From @RicardBarrow: Starting from 1st April, the need for pre-departure RT-PCR test will be dropped. However, you still need to test with RT-PCR on arrival and then do self-ATK test on Day 5. Insurance is $20,000. This needs to be published in the Royal Gazette before official. Meanwhile, Vietnam: From 16th March: Pre departure 72hrs RT-PCR or 24hrs ATK(rapid test). No on-arrival test, no isolation. No vaccination requirement. (Though only for some countries now) Cambodia: From 16th March: no pre-depature test, no on-arrival test, no isolation. Full vaccination required.

Day 5 is a self-ATK test (rapid test) for those arrived after 1st March. Results to be reported in Morchana app. I guess you applied for Thailand pass at a time when there was still Day5 PCR, the self-ATK still applies.

Only dropping one of three RT-PCR tests required, slightly disappointed but expected from Thailand being slow in removing restrictions.

Bangkok I booked the first flight to Bangkok at 8.35am, which means I had to leave the hotel really early at 6.00 am. Airport check-in and security for domestic flight was simple and fast. The Thaismile flight was full. Despite having been in Thailand for 7 days, stepping in Bangkok again felt surreal. I was back and settled in at Le Meridien by 11am. Hotel felt empty such that the front desk manager and cute concierge guy would greet me by name every time I stepped into the lobby. Partially regretting making an early 1pm appointment, I took a short rest before leaving by Grabcar. I somehow forgot about Bangkok traffic as I reached slightly late. My first appointment was at Home Spa, one of the few places along Suthisan road near Saphan Kwai BTS area. Over 2 years, I have amounted some places I follow on Line and Twitter that I would now be able to visit. I would say it is a local place, their posts and ads are all in Thai. When I messaged them in English, they replied quickly and I made my booking with little hassle. The shop was basic but spacious, comfortable and clean. When I entered, one guy greeted me and mentioned the guy I booked. He spoke little English but nothing pointing can’t solve. Payment was requested first before proceeding for the massage. Massage was slightly underwhelming, made up however entirely by his physical being. I decided to walk the stretch of Suthisan road to the BTS since it was my first time in the area which took roughly 20 mins. I took a late lunch and then headed back to the hotel for a quick nap before my evening appointment. I was slightly nervous for my next appointment, it was with Myanmar boy. Before I flew to Thailand, I messaged to his last Wechat contact but he was no longer using it. I booked him through a massage shop so he does know it was me. As many have expressed, it is uncertain whether the chemistry and connection stood the test of time. At 5pm, I was awakened from my nap by a call from him, he called to confirm the appointment time. Near 7pm, another call to confirm my hotel as I went to grab coffee and wait for him. He came in a taxi as I greeted him, he seemed happy to see me. He looked slightly roughened up, as we headed back to the room. He had bruises which he claimed were from a motorbike accident after a drunken night out. He also stayed in hospital for one month because of covid and have not been working for three months since. He acknowledged the situation was not good but have started efforts to look for new work. For the massage place, he only submitted his pictures to the mamasan and works on-call basis. Chemistry and connection was still there, however not as strong as before. I was still glad I got to meet him. I tried to arrange a meetup for my last night but only got a reply after I left Thailand. He seemed to be doing a lot better in our follow-up messages, I may still look for him when I go back. I skipped visiting the bars that night as I planned to have my pre-departure ATK test the next morning. Some random notes of my observation of Patpong area: Patpong 1 without the night market was dead, King’s Castle lady gogo still open and what looks like a new or relocated pool place with ladies. Newly refurbished Thaniya plaza looks nice but did not get a chance to visit. The next night night I visited the ‘gogo’ bars in Patpong 2. Only 3 were open Freshboys, Dreamboys and Hotmale. Moonlight and Jupiter were also open from my knowledge but I did not visit this trip. Drink prices were the same 350-400-450 if I remembered correctly. All had a good number of boys ‘standing’. I went into Freshboys first and was the only customer. The fierce-looking mamasan now dressed down with a polo-tee and skirt greeted me. Was informed they still have a show at around 9.45pm. I got 2 boys to sit with me for a short while before heading to Hotmale. Hotmale had a few more customers inside and outside. Music blasted abit too loud and only one boy that caught my eye though most of them seemed more interested in looking at themselves through the mirror or the floor. I left shortly after for Dreamboys. Dreamboys also had two groups of customers with a reasonable number of boys. I stayed for the first act of the show at 10pm. It was Johnny and 2 other boys with the ‘gogo-coyote’ dance. I was mesmerised and impressed by the moves of one of the boys wearing the crown. Was this a return of gogo? Because Freshboys also had this gogo-coyote dance number in their show that I would watch the next day. I left that night with no offs. On my last full day, I booked another afternoon session at Home spa. This time I decided to book a Grabbike which could weave through Bangkok traffic. This massage session could be the second highlight of my trip. He looked better in person than his photos. He started the massage with a towel on but would loose it not long after. I thought he still had underwear underneath, as with the previous guy but then I felt something brush my leg a couple of times before realising. His normal massage I would say is good but then he moved on to his special moves around the thigh and groin areas. He made sure I felt it as he added force and aggression to it. Honestly, I don’t think I have felt anything like that, at least not for some time. He spoke little English but we managed a short conversation after. A definite repeat for the next trip. That night, I would return only to Freshboys. I had the same cute Cambodian boy who spoke little English sit with me again, this time with another one of his friend. I was the only customer again until the last segment of the show when a couple walked in. I found myself talking to the friend more but I knew I was going to off cute Cambodian boy. He was one of the dancers in the gogo dance segment where I was also impressed with. There were a total of 12-13 boys and I thought all of them were decent and at least smiled or made eye contact. It was my last night so I decided to tip all of them. Mamasan then convinced me to take the friend as well just for supper, which I agreed since I enjoyed talking to him. We went to a place just down the street. Again, I talked more to the friend as he was complaining that he received a message from his other boss that the casino along the borders were re-opening so he has to go back there to work. After the supper, I said goodbye to the friend as me and cute Cambodian boy headed back to my room. I enjoyed his physical companionship but his lack of English communication made it difficult for a deeper connection. He stayed the night and was a light sleeper so he woke up early when I got up. We exchanged contacts and said our goodbye. It was a short but fulfilling comeback to Thailand. As I got on the plane, I left with two ‘Miss you’ on my phone this time.

No he did not. I had an early flight but I don't do long time usually as well.

I did my last morning jog on Patong beach, a total of 5km from one end to the other and back. There were a handful of other fellow early runners and also some who have not left from the night out. After breakfast, I got on my phone and made 2 appointments for Bangkok the next day. I only had 3 full days in Bangkok and did not want to waste them. I had a few short messages with BKK boy, however I did not confirm a meeting until much later in the day. There was radio silence as I await his confirmation. I spend most of the day running errands and packing. My hotel balcony sunset view where I spent most of my time. BKK boy was finally back online just before 8pm. Conversation was quick and easy with him, he even dropped a call to talk as we confirmed to go to Paradise complex together. He said he will fetch me in 5 mins. I told him to take his time since I was still packing. He reached in 10 mins. I finished what I could, got ready quickly and met him on the beach road pavement at the front. It was a short straight road so I didn’t mind the 3p on a motorbike as he made sure to hug me tight from the back. We dropped off a distance away and took a short walk. We also walked pass a police roadblock stopping all motorbikes to check their license. I have seen this a few times during my stay. Phuket Bars I only went to Zag and Zig Bar’s show twice so I don’t have much info on the other bars. Zig and Zag share and occupy a huge outdoor seating area on both sides of the road. The other bars I saw open were Tangmo bar, the first shop on the street and G-club at the end on the street. I only noticed the Tangmo guys during my second visit. There were about 4-5 guys outside hustling passers-by to enter. Their profile and outlook reminded me of the ex-Viet waiters from Freshboys. I would’ve dropped by if I had another night. The first visit was a Wednesday night, not crowded, mainly couples and a few small groups. There were around 5 coyote dancers on the small stage before the show. They have 2 show times, 8.45pm which ends around 9.30pm followed by a short break before restarting at 9.45pm until closing time of 11pm. The show was only ladyboys lip-sync. I liked the outdoor seating area and the atmosphere. Drinks prices start from 80 baht. Waiters hustles you to take a seat, but does not disturb you after ordering the first drink. The second visit with BKK boy was a Friday night. The place would be packed with a few large groups. He greeted and was greeted by a few of the waiters and workers, which I thought he looked like a regular here. I have not explained that I described him as BKK boy because he originates from Bangkok. He mentioned that he has been in Phuket for 7 years. Also, in our conversation that night, it turns out that a number of those years he worked at Zag, though I didn’t ask in what capacity. He said he still come to Zag regularly now to drink with his friends. I do not usually enjoy ladyboy lipsync shows, but I thoroughly enjoyed this night. Besides the company, I thought the performers and atmosphere was energetic and they interacted well with the audience. I thought BKK boy looked more like the tourist as he snapped pictures and videos to post on his WeChat moments. Two of his close friends, a waiter and a performer joined us and I bought them drinks. I complained to BKK boy that the show only had ladyboys. He replied there will be a boy show, pausing as I thought he was being serious, before cheekily continuing that it will be in my room. We stayed until closing time, having him beside me felt natural and comfortable. He made sure I was taken care and comfortable throughout the night. We walked to the main road where he asked me to wait as he went to borrow his manager’s motorbike to send me back. On the bike ride, he made sure I was hugging him tight. He asked me if I was really not hungry, I re-confirmed that I had dinner before realising he was not talking about food. In our earlier conversations, I told him I just wanted the night out since I have an early flight to catch. As we reached back to my room, he made sure I was fed before saying our goodbyes. It was a fitting end for my Phuket trip, and I found someone who would maybe bring me to Phuket more often.

I am glad to be back both in Thailand as well as in this forum. After I logged into my account, I re-read my last post from my last trip in February 2020. I had strong feelings then, when I left. I did contact Myanmar boy after and promised to meet in April 2020. Of course, that didn’t happen and I did not contact him since. Tl;dr I did meet him this trip but I am not sure I will see him again. In fact, he was one of the main reason I went ahead with this short trip despite all the hoops to go through, uncertainties and risks. He appeared in the line-up for a massage shop I was following on LINE. He was still in Thailand, and I wanted a reunion, two years overdue. Phuket Sandbox notes I travelled under the Phuket Sandbox scheme during the suspension of Test&Go. My Thailand pass approval took 7 days (applied on Saturday, approved on Friday). Upon arrival at Phuket airport, immigration only checked 2 documents; Thailand pass and my pre-departure PCR test, which they took and kept the copy. This was the only time anyone in Thailand asked for my Thailand pass or cared about what scheme I was travelling on. Technically, I could leave and fly off anywhere else after Day 1, of course that would be illegal. After immigration and collection of baggage, PCR test station was outside conveniently next to the pick-up point. I did my PCR test at 6.30pm and the results was in my email inbox at midnight. It was my first time in Phuket so I had to take extra time to research. Thanks to @Midguy1, his trip report was really helpful. I am not really a beach and sun person, so I was not sure how much I will enjoy spending 7 days here. I did. Being a morning person, I loved and missed my daily morning run-walk along the beach the most. I spent the evenings, when it cooled down, watching the sunset daily. Maybe it was the just the laid-back getaway atmosphere I needed. There were a lot of foreign travellers, but it was not overcrowded. I see a lot of Thais as well enjoying their time on the beach. I had most of my meals from the street carts along the beach, not the cheapest but the most convenient for me. As widely discussed, mask wearing were more lax here compared to Bangkok. Depending on your risk appetite, you had options to be away or be in the crowd. Massages I had an average of one massage per day. The massage shops are on one row of Royal Paradise Hotel street, while the bars were on another street around 50 metres away. I like to research using google street view, but it was not possible to view the row of massage shops since it is on a walking path and not a road. Very little footfall, but I do see one or two customers at the shops every time. One of the massage boys told me that it is busier at night after dinner and they close late after midnight. There were about 4 shops open. I only remembered 4massage, as I saw it mentioned in a few sites during my research and it was also on google maps. The other shops' names were either not prominently displayed, written in Thai or I was just distracted by the boys sitting outside. 4massage had the most number of boys, at least 7 at one time. The rest had between 2 to 5 depending on the time of the day. I was pleasantly surprised at the number and choices available. I would say most, if not all were Thai. Prices for oil massage was 300-400 baht. Most did not have duration specified in the menu, or again maybe I was too distracted to notice. I will not go into details for each massage. Overall, massages were average but attention and services were great. Half of the guys specified their tip request which can be negotiated down. I do tend to tip more for those that don’t ask. For the apps, it seemed to me the numbers were small, one or two pages covers everyone in Phuket. Most boys on the app works at a massage place. For those into ladyboys, there is definitely a higher concentration here on the apps and also working at massage places than anywhere else I’ve seen. It was on the apps I found BKK boy, the highlight of my trip. Based on location, I guessed he worked at a massage shop so I started the conversation immediately asking him that. He confirmed, sending a picture of the massage shop and the menu. I quickly negotiated and agreed to his offer for him to come over to my room. He said he will reach in 5 mins, however it was at least a 15 mins walk to the hotel from his shop. I thought it was ‘Thai time’ but turns out he asked for a ride from the shop manager. He was thinner in real life but still looks pleasantly good. I requested to start with a massage, which he did, for a short while. First impressions a little on the aggressive side in bed to my liking, but I saw glimpses of his cheeky and caring side off bed as we had a short conversation after as he sneaked in a goodbye kiss with mask on. He has also mastered the art of texting by not being too pushy or overbearing. After he left, I knew I wanted to see him again. I kept my options open with a ‘maybe’ we can watch the show at Zag-Zig bar the next night which we talked about. The next day was my last full day.

It certainly did help. After going through it, I feel a sense of acceptance after. Thank you. Hopefully I do.

This was not meant as a trip report (I’m not sure if I’ll get around to write one for this trip), but it turned out to be as long as one. It is my reflection on my time with one of the boys during my recent trip. If you’ve read my last two trip reports, I’ve been going on about adorable Myanmar boy from Screwboys. I first met him in December when I offed him for two consecutive nights but missed out to get his contact. In January, he has stopped working and was back in Myanmar. I was back in Bangkok over the last weekend, I have booked this trip even before my January trip. I am fortunate to be able to go to Bangkok so often, though I have not decided on my next trip. I am thinking of Songkran but rowdy crowds are not my thing. There is a whole thread here on the pros and cons on going during Songkran and now with the Covid-19 virus I’m still holding out. I’ve mostly gotten over missing Myanmar boy, so I was a little hesitant to seek him out again this trip. I knew there’s a high chance I’ll be disappointed and my feelings would be reignited. When I reached the hotel, I just thought to open Grindr as I know many boys who have left the bars would be freelancing. I saw Thai boy from Lucky boys, my off from January. He had messaged me on Line the week before that he was no longer working at Lucky boys as he had some issues with the bar. However, no Myanmar boy. Naturally, Screwboys was my first stop that night. Chatty Lao friend saw me and I called him over. He knew it was only for a chat as with the previous two times. He updated that Myanmar boy was back in Bangkok, at this point I felt my heart skip a beat. He told me to try and message him directly, but I told him I did not have Myanmar boy’s contact. He was a little surprised. I told him to ask Myanmar boy if I could get his contact, but I think he missed this and I did not ask him further. He went on to sit with another customer. He recommended me another Lao boy from the line up who also happened to be Myanmar boy’s roommate, so I called him over some time later. I saw him messaging Myanmar boy on Facebook messenger. He showed me the profile with the same picture as last month. I would end up offing him. The next two days, I was mostly occupied and had plans with Cambodia Boy A. On Day 4, my second last day, I had to force myself up in the morning after the tiring past few days. I tried to hit up Grindr again, I haven’t opened it since my first night, with the sole purpose to see if Myanmar boy was on there. It felt like a miracle, but he was there, 66m away and online. I immediately messaged him to ask what time he was available. I did not have a profile picture so he did not know it was me. He finished work at 5 pm and was free to meet after. I told him he knew me and sent my picture. He then went on the typical I miss you, I want to meet you messages. We set our appointment at 7 pm. We had a small catch up through messages. He has changed day job and sent a selfie of him and his colleagues at his new job. I did not miss this chance to ask for his contact and he gave me his WeChat so I could contact him there. I could hardly contain my excitement then but I had to wait until evening. At about 6.30pm, he messaged that he finished work and went back to his room to shower. He sent another selfie of himself. At 7pm, I left the hotel to walk around Patpong while waiting for him. He reached around 7.30 pm. Finally, I was reunited with him, I missed him a lot in the initial days from our first meeting in December. With reunions, as many have recounted their experiences here, it could go both ways. One might have repeated their encounter in their minds so many times that probably only the good parts stick. For my case, the reunion experience was even better than my initial one. On the way up to the room, he updated that he indeed went back to Myanmar last month and have renewed his work permit for another two years. I was happy for him. In bed, his sex drive was higher, him not working at a bar anymore was probably the reason. He did not need his porn twitter feed this time. But he did share it with me to show off his Lao friend, the boy I offed on the first night, whom he refers to as superstar. Lao boy had a few clips on one of the twitter accounts. I remembered mamasan mentioning this about him as well. My boy said that Lao boy was paid about 3000 – 5000 baht for one clip, I forgot the correct amount. After the session, he asked what my plans was and whether I was going to a bar to take a boy. At that point, I replied I was not sure yet, I wanted to walk around first. He then asked if I wanted to play pool (snooker) with him. I missed an opportunity to go out with him last time, so I said ok. We went to a place in Patpong, beside Dreamboy, where his friend was working. We had many rounds of games with two of his lady friends. After which, he again asked me if I wanted to take another boy that night. At that point, I have enjoyed his company both in and out of bed, I did not see a reason why I would need another boy. I told him I wanted to go to the bars or walk around but I would not take a boy. He brought me to soi 4 W/Telephone bar. He wanted to check on his friend and neighbour in Myanmar who was working his first day there. He got the job there for his friend who had complained about being jobless in Myanmar. He mentioned the pay was about 200 baht per day as a waiter boy. My boy asked if he could order food, selfishly while I was enjoying my time I forgot about his dinner. We spent most of the time there teasing his friend. He told me his friend’s Thai was not that good so he sometimes could not understand customer’s request. Also, he was shy to sit with a customer. His friend was probably messaging my boy the whole time to update him since he started work that day. Seeing his personality and attitude, I think he would do ok there. My boy also chatted with most of the waiters and said hi to the singer dancer performing, apparently, he used to work there as a singer/dancer. We took our leave and walked the long way round back to Patpong 2, he said his secret to keeping slim after a meal. He asked which boy bar I wanted to go, it was his night so I asked him to decide. He chose Hotmale where he wanted to see his friend. His friend was Thai and one of the three coyote dancers there that night. His friend was crazy hype and energetic with his dance and probably a little drunk. We had a good time with his friend and also one of the mamasan he knew, who was also probably recruiting him to the bar. Since Hotmale closed at 1, I asked him to accompany me to another bar until closing time 2 am. He chose his former bar, Screwboys. He caught up with a mamasan, who was happy to see him. During the show, he told me that the ladyboy performer used to have a thing for him but he had to reject her, since he only liked boys. My usual mamasan who was away for the past three nights was supposed to be back that night, but was out drinking with a customer at Moonlight. She came back a while after and greeted me. She was slightly disappointed angry, not angry angry, at my boy as he pleadingly tried to make up with her. We left near closing time and she wished the best for me and wished for my boy to come back to work there. I was not sure if my boy wanted to stay the night, I would not insist as I wanted him to be able to go to work the next day. He accompanied me back to my room. We had an intimate moment kissing, cuddling and chatting. He asked if I have a boyfriend back home. When I said no, he went on to say he really liked me and loved me. He asked if I wanted to be his boyfriend. He would not take other customers since he has a day job to sustain. In another life, I would have said yes. Also in a moment of lust and him being probably slightly drunk, I was not sure if he really meant it. Many thoughts went through my head but I told myself to stop and cherish that moment. I am a hopeless romantic and I chose to believe in love, with ulterior motives or not, I believe love comes in many forms. I do truly love him as well. But I cannot say yes and I did not say no. I told him not to stop anything for me. After that romantic moment passed, he asked if I wanted another round of sex as he had decided he wanted to go back to his room and go to work tomorrow. I declined, I was already satisfied emotionally that night. He tucked me into bed and left. The day after, I started missing him badly as I exchanged a few messages with him to say goodbye as I leave for the airport. It has been a few days and I still do think about him and look at his pictures. He has not messaged since I left, and I do not intend to do so either, it is my way of coping. I will contact him again if I’m going back to Bangkok, but I’ll want to go back only if he was around. I was reunited with adorable Myanmar boy and it was bittersweet.

I think most boys would not be able to do a proper lap dance except for the dancers and performers. So you’ll have a higher chance of getting a blow job then a lap dance. But indeed, anything can be arranged with the right boy. Look for the most hype boy on stage, they’ll probably do it.

I was at Prime on Sunday. I walked there in the afternoon heat and was measured at 37.2 degrees C. I was asked to sit down on the bench outside, which had a fan blowing to cool down. Within a minute, my temperature dropped to 36.7 and was allowed in. I didn't ask what the threshold temperature was but generally everywhere else the clear defined temperature that they are looking at is 37.5.

I decided to tag on this thread for a short trip report on my recent visit over the Chinese New Year weekend. My parents wanted to go somewhere over this period so I conveniently suggested to them Bangkok, a place where they have never been to. My brother would also tag along on this trip. He has been to Bangkok a few times. This trip was also a self-treat for my birthday weekend. It was a last minute decision when the booking was made as I could not confirm my work schedule. Day time was fully occupied with bringing my family around to the touristy spots. I was tired by night time and had to force myself to go out every night. Due to technical issues, check in luggages collection was delayed upon arrival. It was late by the time we reached the hotel and I had to give the first night a miss. On the second night, after settling my family back in the hotel, I headed straight to Screwboys. My one and only aim of this trip was to see adorable Myanmar boy from Screwboys again. Though I understand that boys come and go in this industry, I was disappointed that Myanmar boy had indeed stopped working and went back home. I expected he would have at least stayed until the end of his work permit in March, and he had lived in Thailand for many years before this. Therefore I thought the chances of him still being around was high. Mamasan confirmed this with a Lao boy, his friend, standing behind me. I have not seen Lao boy previously, I had to double take on Lao boy as he was adorably cute. CNY Friday night was the most crowded I've seen Screwboys in terms of customers but not the boys. Something felt missing in all the bars this trip, and I realised it was the lack of Viet boys. Most of them I assume went back home for CNY. Show was ongoing and I waited for it to be over to see the boys lineup. I was eyeing two boys, one of which was Lao boy. On stage, Lao boy avoided eye contact with all customers and stared straight at the back wall. He looked dreary and tired which made me hesitant to call him. I continued to observe him, during occasional interactions with other boys his face would break into a cute smile. Cute smiles are my soft spot so I had to call him over. Lao boy had only worked for a month and did not speak any English. Had to resort to google translate with many conversations lost in translation along the way. Lao boy started the conversation with the news of his friend, adorable Myanmar boy. He showed me Myanmar boy's profile on Facebook messenger to confirm we're talking about the same person. Seeing his picture made me miss him a little more. I was satisfied with Lao boy and decided to off him. I decided to tip another Lao boy who I recognised previously from Super A. He was avoiding my eye contact the whole time and was even unhappy with the tip. Another pissy Lao boy to add to my list. I shared a room with my brother, so I opted to use the short time room. The short time room would be the next door Pavilion Place. The room had two massage tables with face holes pushed to one side, a smaller than queen bed on the other side and a shower cubicle, no toilet. For short time, it was clean and comfortable enough for me. Lao boy was great, very affectionate and a great kisser. We also had good google translate conversation after. He has a day job so that explains why he looked tired. Third night, I headed to Lucky boys. My usual Mamasan said he waited for me the night before. The night before, I bumped into the other Lucky Boys mamasan on the street on the way to Screwboys. Actually I walked along the inner corridor on the opposite side but he still managed to spot me and called me over to say hi. Show was ongoing so Mamasan brought Cambodia boy A, who was already in street clothes, over to say hi. He whispered to message him as per previous time. Unfortunately, no daytime slot for him this trip, which I explained to him on Line the next day. Mamasan then brought a Myanmar boy, a boy I called for a drink with but didn't off on my previous trip. Again, I felt no connection with the boy but selfishly decided to hold onto him to see if there were anyone better in the line up. Not a lot of choices for boys so I settled for Myanmar boy. Mamasan proposed a larger room down the road at Strand Inn. Room had a big king bed, big bathroom with jacuzzi but only shower curtains as separation and no hot water. As per initial feelings, did not have great connection with Myanmar boy which translated to a not so great session. Fourth and last night, I got an early start as parents were too tired and decided to skip dinner. I decided to check out Banana boys for the first time. It was Sunday night, the slowest night of the week. Show had started and I was seated in the front row. I scanned the boys available, they were seated diagonally to the left beside the stage. Less than ten boys, none that stood out. I headed out before the show ended. I headed to Freshboys next and beautiful Mamasan was not around, only fierce looking and guy mamasan. Only one boy waiter was around. Freshboys still had a decent number of boys, though no one that attracted me except for my handsome straight Thai boy. He was sitting with a customer together with another boy. Not sure if he has been converted or just very drunk as he didn't look uncomfortable with the customer fondling him and seemed to be even enjoying it a little. He wai and smiled at me when he saw me, which was also unusual. He normally has a stern face. I tipped him again as I have done every time I see him. Maybe that loosened him up a bit every time. Did not spend long in Freshboys before I left and headed out to Screw boys. I would have repeated Lao boy again but he was not working that night. With no other alternatives, I made my way to Lucky boys next. I had initially planned to make this an early night by quickly picking a boy as I was extremely tired from the day's activities. No quick pick so my resolve changed to just take my time and relax at Lucky boys till closing time. My usual mamasan informed me the previous night he would be away with a customer with 3 other boys to northern Thailand for a few days. I was stuck with a pushy mamasan, who I ignore most of the time. Lucky boys was starving of boys, only one row of boys was available. There were two boys that were acceptable but I held out, secretly hoping some boys would magically appear late on. I stayed on and stared at the mostly empty stage. I decided to call on a Thai boy who was persistently smiling at me, though not the cute Lao boy smile. Thai boy was likeable and not pushy. Cambodia boy A came in the bar sometime after, again in street clothes probably done for the night after a customer. I was happy with Thai boy and we head out with mamasan to Strand inn. On the way out, Cambodia boy A was chilling on the sofa so I said goodbye to him and promised to look for him on my next visit. He jokingly asked for an 'ang pao' which I obligedly gave. In Strand Inn, we sat on the sofa beside the reception to wait for our room. At that point of time, the other boy that I was eyeing just finished his session with a customer and was about to leave the hotel when he saw us. It turned out he was also Thai and a good friend of my boy. He planted himself next to me and I witnessed first hand the boys discussing the session he had with the customer. Though in Thai, I knew what the discussion was about. After the discussion, attention turned to me as the 2nd Thai boy asked for a threesome, with mamasan also urging me. He was not pushy but more flirtatious. I asked my boy if he was ok, as two friends together could be a nightmare. He gave the ok so I decided why not for my last night. It was the best decision. 2nd Thai boy was a master orchestrator and the leader. Though they did not touch each other, both boys were passionate, proactively flipping roles and was patient, making it a perfect night to end the trip. Some other notes, new ladies gogo bar have opened further down Patpong 2 so walking down from Silom rd was no longer as quiet.

Day 6 After breakfast, I decided to finally utilise the hotel’s gym and pool to pass time while waiting for my noon appointment. Ten minutes before noon, Cambodia boy A messaged to say he was coming over. He lives in Sathorn, a conveniently short distance away. Sharp at noon, he was at the lobby. Session was great, though I feel his personality lacked the affection I desired. He took concern about the boys I've had this trip. On my previous trip, I had expressed my unsatisfactory straight man experience to him, and he went on about boy vs man. After the session, I headed out to check out Iconsiam which was recommended a few times in this forum. It was easy to get to, taking the short boat ride across from the pier just beside the BTS. Ground floor with the mock floating market was impressively well done. I didn’t spend long and headed back after a late lunch to rest for the night. I left the hotel at 8pm to look for a massage as a warm up. While the gogo bars were thriving, the opposite could be said for the massage shops in the Silom area particularly soi 6. There was a lack of quantity and quality of boys at the shops which have boys sitting outside. Paradise had mostly older men. The Star massage next door, which completed its renovation, and Relax Thai didn't have anyone that drew me. Nakarat boys were the most active, but most to me looked intimidating, though some cute ones appear at night. I have yet to visit Arena and Senso which are crowd favourites, so they might be doing well. The far-off places which I follow on Line also doesn't have boys that made them a must go. I settled for Indra which had somewhat cute-ish Viet looking boys outside engulfed by their phones. The boys looked shocked when I stepped into their balcony, their faces telling me that I’ve got the wrong shop. There was an awkward pause before one of them invited me in. Inside, the captain had the same shocked maybe you’ve got the wrong shop face as well. Next masseur in rotation inside immediately stood up eager to have me, he was also the oldest one but I didn’t insist on choosing. Boy that escorted me in looked slightly disappointed. I remembered massage was acceptable with the right amount of teasing. He was a good chat, a senior that have been there for many years. Business was slow, he used to come three times a day, now I was his first customer in three days. I asked and he said I could indeed choose a boy, as I considered to come again the next day. The butterfly was determined to fly after the failure the previous night, though a pleasant failure it was. I headed straight to Lucky boys after, where I would stay almost the whole night from 9.30pm until closing time at 2 am. As I got to my regular seat, I saw Cambodia boy A was already fully dressed sitting with a customer near the front out of my sight. My mamasan was back that night. It didn’t take long before I landed my eye on a cute boy, though there were a few other highly regarded potentials on stage. Mamasan told me he was a Myanmar boy and my heart skipped a beat, thinking of adorable Myanmar boy who had set the bar high. I immediately called him over. A few minutes of chat and I didn’t feel a connection. I was also distracted as all my other potentials were snapped up left and right by other customers, there were indeed similarly highly regarded by others. I started panicking a little and to be fair to Myanmar boy, I tipped and let him go as I made my mind he was not the one. He would immediately be invited by another customer and would get offed that night, as many others. My mamasan then pointed to Cambodia boy B on stage, my off from previous trip, and I didn’t recognise him at first. He looked different and he was not there previous nights. I was not sure how he saw me in my seat up high in the back, but he recognised me and started throwing korean hearts. By this time, those left on stage did not appeal to me as my eyes wandered to the boys already sitting with customers. One cute boy sitting just beside me, one beautiful boy across the room with a group, and a dashingly handsome boy with a cute smile with another group right in front of me, all twinkish of course. I decided to tip Cambodia boy B without calling him over, so he did not get the wrong idea, for his valiant efforts at getting my attention. I would have offed him any other night but I was determined for variety that night. Soon, it was show time and I still had no boy with me. My mamasan rewarded me with Cambodia boy B’s company as I had already tipped him. I was reluctant at first but was thankful later as he was an excellent and a thoroughly enjoyable company. In October, he was slightly reserved as it was just his first week into the job, but now he surely has learned the tricks of the trade. He just came back to work that night after two weeks back in Cambodia. With him by my side, it was the first time I appreciated the whole show, and it was spectacular. Boy was also enjoying the show as I stared at his face a lot throughout and thus saw his reactions. As the show ended, he knew I would not off him and asked to leave, I tipped again him for the great company. I teasingly pointed to a few group of customers that he could focus on. Dashingly handsome boy with a cute smile was momentarily back on stage before being called by a solo customer. I hesitated a bit on him as he looked straight. I decided to check with mamasan and he confirmed it. Cute boy with the customer beside me, who was offed and left just after the show started was back on stage. It didn't feel like I sat there a long but time has passed by fast. My heart told me to move on, to Screwboy to see adorable Myanmar boy as it was my last night. I told mamasan I will go around and come back if I don't find anyone, it was already 1 am then. I headed to Screw boy full of anticipation. Screw boy mamasan greeted me with a big smile and immediately told me that my boy was not there and to choose another boy. I sort of expected it but was disappointed. I called a Cambodian boy to sit with me, I sat with him the previous trip as well but no off. I didn't intend to off him that night as well, but guiltily called him to ask about adorable Myanmar boy, as he is one of the boys that was close to him. Cambodia boy said that five of them gambled from 3am all the way to 10 am without any sleep. Adorable Myanmar boy was the biggest loser, losing twenty thousand, despite Cambodia boy’s plea for him to stop. He was too sad after the big lost to come to work. Young, carefree but also reckless, though how they spend their money is their own right. Mamasan offered to waive the bar fine for an off that night, but no other boys were of interest to me. I bid mamasan goodbye with hugs and promised to be back again soon. I then headed back to Lucky boys. The crowd have thinned and so has the boys. I was more relaxed as I have resigned to the fact there might not be a boy for me. Cambodia boy B was surprisingly still on stage. I again teasingly pointed to the last group of customers in front of me as he pointed to me. Surely, he was called over by the group soon after. I asked mamasan about cute boy that came back after an off and was told he was offed for the second time that night. About ten minutes before 2am, dashingly handsome straight boy with cute smile decided to trot back on stage, not sure where he came from, as he was definitely not offed after drinks with two customers. I immediately called him over, he was surprised, having being on stage just a few seconds and near closing time to be called. He’s a Viet boy. I could sense from the first few exchanges his pleasant attitude and genuity in having a conversation. Though I already got the info from mamasan, he promptly informed, without asking, his limitations; a straight guy and available only for short time. Somehow that honesty made him more attractive, or maybe it was just his dashingly handsome looks. I’ve had beauty, cute, adorable and I needed handsome for my last night. My favourite question for straight guys was whether they have a girlfriend and how many in each country. He sheepishly answered yes, only one in Bangkok. I would be surprised and worried if he answered no. At 2 am sharp, I made my decision to off him. I said goodbye to mamasan with hugs and the same promise to come back again soon. Refreshingly, this dashingly handsome straight Viet boy was positively the most shameless. Most gay boys wear towels, hide under blanket, switch off or dim the lights and some straight boys don’t even bother to remove their jeans. This boy just stripped naked in and out of the shower and onto the bed without a towel and without turning down the lights. I cautiously worked him but he did not stop or restrict anything that I did. He was working hard to satisfy while watching his straight porn intermittently. His pleasant attitude and dashingly handsome looks made it a great final night. I asked him where he was going after, he said he was going home to sleep. Great choice, same my boy, same. Day 7 I woke up feeling slightly down, since it’ll be my last day. I had the full day before my late night flight. I kept my options open and wanted to have Cambodia boy B if possible, though I haven’t asked his availability yet. Unfortunately, I received a reply from a cute Grindr boy and made an appointment with him instead for early evening. I headed out for lunch and afterwards decided to try Bangkok massage for the first time. I entered and next boy in rotation was ready and inviting me towards the rooms. He was tall bulky and not my type. I apologized and told him I wanted to choose a boy. He was slightly disappointed but said it was ok and called all the boys, total about 8, to line up. I chose the youngest and smallest boy who also happened to have the cutest smile. At first, he did look slightly bulky with his tank top on, but once removed, he was actually more pleasantly twinkish size. He was also 22, I swear all my offs this trip was also 22. Massage was acceptable and so were the extras. He was not pushy on tips but definitely request on the higher end. Rooms or cubicles were clean with shared shower at the end of the hallway. Cubicles with mattress on elevated platform, only a small space between the door and the platform. Early evening, a final session with Grindr boy who was great in bed but was not as cute as in the picture. I regretted slightly and would choose Cambodia boy B if I had known. Overall, a trip with many great boys that I would thoroughly miss after. This trip report was more for my sake as writing helped extend my good memories of them.

Definitely made me regret not dropping by last week. Not many posts on this bar here recently. I walked up and down soi 4 but gave it a miss.
