When staying in Silom, I have used Excelsior tailors and have always been delighted with the clothes they have produced. A tad pricey but quality unsurpassed.

I concede to Vinapu who is correct. A typo. Hatha is indeed on street 330. Thank you for your eagle eye. A good point about guys at Space viewing your stamp collection! I certainly got the feeling that the hunks at Space were drinking companions only and not particularly interested in other activities. Fun for watching, flirting and some discreet touching but nothing else. I was unable to practise my Vinapu tuck….

A reply to some of your queries a-447. I have been very happy with the Sun and Moon. Very comfortable, great security and good gym and pool so I’m a happy bunny. I would not stay here again but that is due to the very busy area it is in so next time, it will be A and P or Rambutan for me. The Hatha Khmer I went to is near A and P but not around the corner. It is on street 18Eo Street 300 and is around the corner from Love Spa. I recommend Hatha Khmer for the massages and quality of guys. My friend has stayed at A and P and has had no problems hooking up with massage guys and staff there. It is ironic that one of the hottest guys in the place who works behind the bar is decidedly straight Hope this has answered your queries. Have a great Christmas in Japan.

No problem. Glad you found the info useful. It is ironic that in little over a week here, I have met more hot ‘up for it’ Cambodian guys in Jomtien than I have in the bars here. A lot of the bar guys in Jomtien are Cambodian or Lao. A lot I have talked to are considering going to Thailand to work as tourist numbers are apparently really down here at the present time. That said, PP is a fun place to visit as long as expectations are lowered somewhat.

I spent a week in PP catching up with a Canadian friend and we visited a lot of the specified places together. I have tried to be as factual as possible and I’d like to thank FloridaRob, vinapu and Harrystiilees for the info they gave me before my trip. A few general observations: Since my last visit 10 years ago, the traffic seems to have increased dramatically and certainly the car is king here. Be very careful crossing roads as some traffic do not adhere to traffic lights and pavements in many parts of the city are non existent. I felt safe wandering around the city but do ensure that you have enough lower denomination dollar notes as higher denominations can be difficult to spend. Tuk tuks plentiful and $2-3 dollars seemed to be the standard fare. Bars I visited Space Bar which was next to my hotel (Sun and Moon) twice. I met the owners, one of whom is from Spain and their adorable dogs that are friendly and in the bar. The waiters/hosts are incredibly fit and hot and tend to be more muscular and they will sit with you if you buy them a drink. Some guys spoke reasonable English and got very playful as the evening progressed. Some guys took their shirts off after midnight and were quite touchy feely. Very flirtatious but it ended there. The drinks were of a very good quality and it was. Fun place to visit with an interesting mix of local boys and visiting tourists and expat locals. I visited again and the same host guys I talked to on the first visit tended to monopolise my table despite the fact I was interested in talking to some of the other guys. It is the luck of the draw if you choose guys to sit with you who can’t really communicate except by translation apps. Around 12 host guys there when I visited. I would certainly recommend this friendly and laid back bar as a fun start or end to your evening. Fantastic eye candy. We spent a great evening at Toolbox bar. Doug the owner is a lovely, approachable guy and was happy to chat and give advice about PP. We went around 9pm on a Fri and there are about 20 host guys and 6 customers but the bar got busier with visitors from 10pm onwards. It was a great atmosphere especially as the boys did a number of interesting dance routines on the pool table! Very much a party atmosphere and the music was varied and fun. The boys are certainly of the twink variety and they were friendly, good looking and tactile. Drinks of a great quality and the bar also serves a selection of hot food. This was the bar that we enjoyed ourselves the most in PP and we stayed around 4 hours. Well worth a visit if only to see the beautiful boys there. We visited Blue Chili which seemed to be a large venue but didn’t stay as we were the only customers there. When passing again on a Friday evening, the place seemed completely packed and people were queuing to get in. It seemed to have a mixed crowd and we were told the busiest nights are Friday and Saturday. Massage I had some variable experiences during my time in PP. I visited Paradise Massage which is above the POC bar. Only one guy available to give massage and he was a young twinky type. Massage ($15 for an hour oil massage) was quite poor with little technique and expertise. I ended the massage early as it was not enjoyable. The premises look quite run down and general cleanliness was an issue. I would not recommend this place. I visited Hatha Khmer twice and I was delighted by the massages there. There were around 15 guys to choose from when I visited and you choose your guy from behind a window where they assemble, a bit like arena in BKK. A good range of guys that would satisfy most tastes. The first massage was an hour’s oil massage ($10) and the guy certainly was experienced and knew what he was doing. An excellent, firm massage and the $30 dollar tip was well deserved for the many extras he provided. The second massage was an hour and a half oil massage for $15 and the different masseur was good but not as firm or experienced as the first guy and this showed in his massage technique. The invariable fun that followed was prolonged and unrushed and a $30 tip was well earned. He even offered to bring another masseur into the massage room for fun if I wanted that. I was very happy with the venue which was clean and well decorated, the choice of hot guys as well as the quality of the massage and the extras. Well recommended. Saunas I visited 2 saunas during my stay. Love Spa is just around the corner from Hatha Khmer massage. It was $3 entry and it was quite busy at 5pm mid week. As far as I could gather I was the only Western guy there and the guys were primarily Cambodian. When changing, it was a bit disconcerting to have around 5 massage guys watching me and asking constantly if I needed a massage. Certainly the most aggressive approach I came across in Cambodia. The thing about this spa is that the spa areas and corridors are completely dark and it is like walking in a darkroom. For me, this was quite dangerous as I tripped over as I couldn’t see where I was going. I decided to leave as for me, it was an accident waiting to happen. My friend was staying at Arthur and Paul hotel. I visited on a Saturday night to go to the spa and it started to get busy after 9pm. $10 entry fee. The bar area is spacious and lovely and the pool area is a good place to relax, swim and talk to other guys. There seemed to be a lot of younger Cambodian guys in attendance. Again, the issue for me was the lack of light and the spa area and showers were too dark for me to walk around safely. Guys are friendly around the bar, pool area and changing room and this is a great place to link up with cute Cambodian guys. My friend, who was staying at the hotel enquired about the darkness level and one of the Cambodian guys stated that Cambodian guys are quite shy and don’t want to be seen having sex in a spa! As an addendum, my friend loved staying at A and P and raved about the breakfast, staff and massages which he deemed to be excellent ($20 for an hour plus tip). The staff here are good looking guys who will look after you if you decide to stay at the hotel. Apps I got lots of messages from guys on the usual apps (Grindr, Hornet and Heesay) but did not manage to hook up with anyone due to time constraints. I hope you find this info useful. I’m back to Thailand now for a Christmas and a break! Happy Christmas!

I visited after receiving Line info about the masseurs (all hot fit guys) and choose Mr Tom, a top guy from Laos. Opted for the one and a half hour oil massage. It started with a ten minute Thai massage then proceeded to the oil massage. It was obvious that the guy knew what he was doing and the massage was one of the best that I have ever received in Bkk. High praise indeed. It was excellent, especially after a really disappointing session at Arena earlier in the week (lacklustre massage and the ‘top’ guy I had chosen after specifically asking if he was turned out to be anything top at all!). Extras were on offer and were gladly taken! In all, an excellent experience if on the pricey side when tip taken into account.

I’m finding this thread interesting at in PP in early Dec for 7 days. Look forward to visiting a lot of the bars and spas that guys have mentioned on here.

Rendezvous, Home and Barcode seemed to be the busiest places when I was there last year plus Grindr seemed to be quite active. I’m off to PP next month and hope things are busier there xx

What is the show at M Bar like? Fun with the guys?

Visited on Weds from 5pm until 7pm. Very busy indeed with a great selection of hot, sexy guys. Some can be fairly pushy but the majority are great and relaxed. Quite a few guys from South America. Grab a drink in the bar area and guys will come up to you to chat. Facilities all working perfectly. Cost still E50 for short time session but guys open to negotiation for longer time or fulfilling other kinks! Give it a go. Recommended.

I agree, Olddaddy, as I like masculine guys too. The only bar in Jomtien that has the some masculine guys I like is Home Bar. I struggle with a lot of the other bars as full of twink types. A trip to Sunee or Boyztown maybe?

Vinapu - I know it is blasphemy and I was there for 11 days last year and didn’t run out of things to do. A report in the Cambodia section. Even practised my Vinapu tuck!

Great advice Aussie. I’ll have to try it out!

Have you considered Siem Reap for a few days? Easy to get to and enough to keep you occupied for a few days…also nearer than Manila.
