But June,July,and August are high season in the US. This is what the airlines look at. I have the same issue going back to Bangkok. Fares now run $1500-$2000 . Then September 1st, I can get it under $1000.

I was in Hanoi a few weeks ago. The apps were alive with willing and able boys. I wasn’t looking to hire, but got many hits from boys that wanted to meet up. I prefer Hanoi to Saigon just for the big city difference. Saigon is like most other big cities and Hanoi is still old world. Sightseeing is very good. If your going for gay fun it’s mostly limited to what you can find on the apps. Both big cities do have a few Massage places though.

I used Uber many times and Grab a few times. I think Grab is going thru some growing pains with the quick change over. The fares definitely went up. Also the pickup times are a bit longer.

Who determines who are “better quality” boys ?

Most of the bars and gogo’s are in the section that will be open.

Keep in mind when you say “Twilight is going thru lean times” that it is now low season. Twilight has had a fairly successful winter season. During the Songkran week they were turning people away, The other night someone mentioned FreshBoys seemed quiet. But in fact about 25 boys just before show started and 8 left when 2nd show started. Most of us go by what we see at that moment. Sometimes you need to see the whole evening picture. Things aren’t always as bad as first impression.

It will be cut in half very soon. Then the open half gets another year. Next April.

Most have shows at midnight. But you have to be careful now that it’s low season. If not enough customers, there will be no show. Your probably safe on Friday and Saturdays having shows, but rest of week is now hit or miss.

Funny thing about it. Bangkok is farther, but more often than not, cheaper. I live in Ft.Lauderdale and Brazil is an easy trip. But for the past 5 years I have been spending 6 months in Bangkok and 6 months in Florida. I’ve stopped going to Brazil. I easily get fares for under $1000 to Thailand. Brazil can be twice that. Airbnb is half the price of Brazil. The entertainment factor in Bangkok is way ahead of Brazil. I had great times in Rio. I met TotallyOz down there. I am hoping to get back there soon. But now in retirement my money goes much farther in Thailand. I also spend time in Vietnam which is half as much as Thailand and a beautiful country.

Tonight Twilight got off to a great start for the holiday weekend. By 9:30 Dreamboys was turning people away. Many of those customers went to X-Size and FreshBoys. They had full houses for their shows. Many boys offed tonight. Maxis so full they were sitting in the aisles. At midnight a few people started to try to use water guns, but were shut down by much of the staff on the street. They were told to wait till tomorrow. It will be a financially successful weekend if the next couple of nights are anything like tonight. Lots of spending.

Nope. I just went there and thought it was me. No forum page

They mostly just fine the place they are working.

The police have been hasseling them for the last 3 months. It’s been better for the last couple of weeks. I was with several of my Vietnamese friends last night and they didn’t mention anything new happening. I’m headed out now for the evening and will ask around. But I haven’t seen any evidence of boys heading back to Vietnam.

I was told tonight by “a fairly reliable source” that Twilight will be open thru Songkren of next year. So again, time will tell.

Rumor of the evening......FreshBoys is moving to a space above Screwboys about May 1.

Not the world. Plenty of ass available here in Bangkok .

But you know your irresistible to the boys.

I’ll be back to Ft.Lauderdale April 30. I trade my 90’s from Bangkok for the 90’s of South Florida. Since living 6 months a year in Thailand the Ft.Lauderdale summers don’t feel nearly so bad. My sister and her husband figured now that I winter in Bangkok, the will drive down from Boston and winter at my condo. A sure sign of spring....they are migrating back up north on April 1. And for you Ms. Anne, they will be followed by many other Canadians, New Englanders and New Yorkers. We will get our roads back for the summer.

Here in Bangkok we are stuck on 95 degree sunshine day after day. What’s this snow stuff you mention.

Things were back to normal tonight. All boys back to work. Seemed to be plenty of customers. No police in sight.

Last night Twilight was quiet. X-Boys and FreshBoys had no one hanging around outside. Each had one doorman. I also noticed they tended to keep curtains closed a bit more than usual. More like when a show was going on. Bangkok Massage had 4 boys working. Usually 10-15. Bonney closed at 10pm. They had no boys working. Maxis and Dreamboys were the only places that seemed to be doing ok. There was also a police presence at the entrance to Soy Thanyia. They were checking taxis again. When I left my driver asked me to put seatbelt on till we got onto Rama4.

Last night was a quiet night . But overall, Twilight has been fairly busy . I was told this will only affect Twilight. Everywhere else should be business as usual. Dreamboys is all Thai so shouldn’t be affected to much. Everywhere else will be short staffed. If it’s worth visiting tonight, that’s up to you and what your looking for. Maybe a good night to try out Moonlight, Screwboys and Jupiter.

A couple of developments tonight in Twilight. Tomorrow night there is to be a heavy police presence. Only Thai boys will be allowed to work. Cambodian, Lao, Vietnam and Myanmar boys were told to not even be in Twilight tomorrow. Possibly 2 nights, but to be determined tomorrow. On the closure situation. Heard from a somewhat reliable source. On May 1, only Hot Male, Banana Bar, x-Size and FreshBoys will remain open. Everything else will be closed and walled off. We’ve all heard all sorts of rumors, but this came from management types and information was given to workers. So I guess we will just have to wait and see.

They have just opened so hiring will be ongoing for a bit.
