Has anyone stayed in Hua Hin recently? I have a friend that has just returned (not gay so no good info) that says it's a great place. Good food, clean beaches not as tourisy as Pattaya ( ie no touts for massage etc) I can only see a couple of gay bars (old info). Whats a good area to look for accommodation? Any recommendations? Anyone had luck on hornet etc? I might like a couple of nights there next trip. Near the beach and gay bar if possible

How is the gay bar scene in Phuket these days? And is it possible to find the types of gay massage places we all love in Bangkok? When I was in Phuket 5 years ago there was really very little in terms of gogo boys and massage places. I am looking to upgrade beach experience in Pattaya.

Background In the past, the few trips I have had to Bangkok was with a friend, a str8 friend. At that time, I have practically no idea of what Thailand is famous for (its massages & sex-related industry) ‘cos we usually shop, eat, drink & occasionally enjoy Thai foot massages. Introduction This was my first solo trip to Bangkok. After I bought the air ticket & book the hotel, I started to panic. Although I knew I wanted to visit gay massage venues & gogo bars, I am at a loss of how to go about doing it. There are tons of information on the web and I try my best to do my research & made a summary. Fortunately, DivineMadman came to my rescue. I was pleasantly surprised when he offered to meet up with me & visit selected massage venues & gogo bars. I am so thankful that I dun have to wander around like a lost puppy (or a madman … if u will) trying to find the massage venues, select a suitable boy for massage, know the proper gogo bar “etiquette” etc. He was kind enough to accompany me for 2 days & I felt so much more confident about venturing out alone on the 3rd & 4th day. His Google location map titled ““Bangkok Massage Venues” came in very handy. Day 1 Hotel Debacle Arrived at Glitz Hotel at 1.30pm for 2 nights superior room. It is situated along the main road, next to the bar that I fancy a lot i.e. Tawan Bar. It is a very small hotel, with 14 rooms in total (room type : standard, superior, deluxe; in simpler terms : small, medium or large room), has 4 floors with no elevator. Had an issue with this hotel ‘cos I was told that I could only stay for 1 night & the hotel was fully booked for the 2nd night, & due to double booking I had to shift to another “better” hotel (they first suggested Om Yim and on refusal, they suggested Bed by City Surawong Hotel the next day). The lady boss accompanied me to the “better” hotel in the 2nd day morning, view the room & pleaded many times but I have to say no. Finally, in a soft tone, I told them that if I am forced to move to a bad location, my review for this hotel will not be good. They then left me alone to continue my itinenary & finalize it at noon … give me the option of shifting to a standard but smaller room & I accepted it. The bed at the standard room makes a squeaking sound each time I turn my body, otherwise it is fine. In hindsight, had they been more polite & better at communicating their problem, I would have obliged. When I first check-in & heard that I had to move to another hotel, I was puzzled and trying to find out exactly how this happened. One of their staff said something to me “... You dun understand English is it?” (I think he is asking if I understand the meaning of double booking) and I am taken aback. When I try to explain it is not logical that my Agoda booking for 2 nights was a month ago & during my booking, the web info shows that there are at least 2 or 3 more rooms left. I asked if they understand what I am trying to say. Another staff replied “I understand English. Are you trying to say I am stupid?”... Bad choice of words & communication ... I might be wrong but I suspect that I am being singled out to force to accept the inconvenience ‘cos I dun look demanding. But to be fair, on the 1st night, they did upgrade me to the deluxe / large size room. So downgrading to a smaller room on the 2nd night even things out. My FB friend/buddy commented on the deluxe room photos I posted & said that the room looked rundown (actually not really true, though the room is not at its pristine condition, I am OK with it) … haha … that’s ‘cos he usually stay at Princess Pathumwan Hotel. But since there is no one to split the hotel expenses with me, I have to opt for a cheaper hotel & also at a more convenient location. Arena Spa Went there at 3:00pm. Arena is located in Silom Plaza (even local Thai may not know where it is) not Silom Complex. But it is just a short walk from Chong Nonsi BTS. The location map found in Arena’s FB site was misleading. The map found in this forum is accurate:- http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/8657-arena-spa-and-massge-in-gay-bangkok/ The current lounge area is half as big as the old Arena. About 25 - 30 topless guys, age ranging from 2x to 3x yo, crammed in front of me, putting on broad smiles, flexing their muscles, some even gave me the come hither look. I was told there will be more boys (50?) later at around 6pm. I wonder where are they going to stand if there are that many… possibly within arm’s reach . I asked the person serving me who has more years of experience and he just say “all very good” … a non-reply ... With so many pairs of eyes staring at me, I felt uneasy and had to quickly pick one that smile at me. I picked a guy called “Mac” 26yo, masculine, who smile at me with the broadest smile (possibly a little too broad), has a sun-tanned lean muscular body, speak conversational English, for 1.5hr (790 bht; min. tip 1000bht) oil massage. Mac was from Uniman. Told me that he is divorced with 2 children and that now he like guys … I think he should be about 30yo & str8. Though I requested a strong massage, he delivered a medium strength massage with excessive oil & with limited strokes. I think his focus was on the afters. Suffice to say, he was quite verbal during the afters (rate 8/10) & definitely has the stamina for long session. Due to my limited techniques, I didn’t manage to make him cum. Anyway, customer cums first and that is the most important rule. Overall, I am sufficiently satisfied (rate 7/10) though I have to deduct points for the massage part (5/10). Tip 1,200, asked for 1,500, finally settled at 1,300. Because of his request, it makes me wonder if I had under tipped & question the real definition of min. tip for Arena Spa. GoGo Bars - X-Size & HotMale Meet up with DivineMadman at Maxis bar for a drink (79bht for beer) at 7pm. We had a good chat as he gave me a brief lecture of the GoGo bars in this Soi. While chatting, we also did not forget to keep a watchful eye at the boys from Bangkok Massage, Bonny Massage & those who is walking into this lane. It seems Bangkok & Bonny has the same “uniform” for the boys i.e. a low-cut singlet that accentuate their pecs & a skimpy tight shorts that draws attention to their bubble butt. Shouldn’t they try to distinguish themselves by wearing something different? The gogo bar opposite of Maxis should actually do something about their exterior appearances. From the outside when I walked past or looked in, I thought it is a kitchen. They should have decorated their walls something similar to Fresh Boys or at least put an obvious signboard that says the name of the bar. It just look uninteresting to me. We visited X-Size (drinks 360bht) & HotMale (380). Drink fees were being paid upon leaving. It seems the client has the option of coming into the bars, look at the boy selection for a brief moment before deciding whether to stay & order a drink. There is no such option for Tawan bar whereby you can sneak a quick peek at their boys without paying the entry fee. I must say that X-Size consists of mostly twinkish, barely-legal, fresh from the village kind of boys who doesn’t know what to do on stage & just stand motionless & stare at you. There were like only 2 other customers when we entered at around 9:15pm. Immediately, we were surrounded by 2 mamasans. DivineMadman, being the experienced one, draw their attention by flirting with them in Thai & in English, bought them drinks, and tip them. It was less awkward for me as I dunno how to handle the situation. But we did not wait for X-Size show to start before we bar hop to HotMale. Before going up to the 2nd floor to HotMale, DivineMadman spotted Paulsf at the drink bar below and exchanged pleasantries. Apparently, Paulsf is a big supporter of HotMale & he is literally a resident at HotMale bar. The bar was about half-full. We both agree that the setup / boy-on-stage arrangement is much better in HotMale. In HotMale, before the show starts, coyote dancers are stationed at the 4 corners of the stage, constantly doing simple body movements & dances in a sexy fashion while the boys stand in the middle, albeit more body movement & with more facial expression as compared to the X-Size boys. I think one of the dancers is quite good looking with a toned body as compared to their boy selection. If asked to pick, I will choose one of the mamasan’s assistant who is dressed in blue tight shirt & who is more masculine & muscled. I like the show and didn’t expect it to last so long with so many segments. Initially, I thought the big cock show was with fake dicks … ‘cos they all looked so big & a few of the boys seemed to have dicks that come from the same mould. I wonder if DivineMadman would agree if I have sufficient grounds to inspect the boys’ dick based on my suspicion that they were wearing fake dicks . The 2nd last performance was a acrobatic fuck show; the bottom was dressed like a ladyboy & acted very fem-ly. Fuck show is back for now & it seems to be a big deal, but I am not really a fan of it. The last performance had a solo guy sitting on a chair with the lights dimmed. I was wondering what was happening. I didn’t realized that the guy was masturbating. And when he is ready to shoot, the room brighten, spot lights on the guy at the stage centre and I saw cum spurting out (hence confirmed it is not a fake dick). I was wondering why they didn’t bother to collect tips before the guy cums. No tips for the poor guy who cum. With the exception of paulsf, no one seems to give tips to anyone, … possibly, like me, like to remain inconspicuous, doesn’t like to walk up in front of the boys and pass them the 100bht. I am also not used to waving the dollar note at them. We left after the JO show at 11:30pm. As I was feeling rather tired, I called it a night. Whereas, DivineMadman went for a late night session at Bangkok Massage.

Hey fellow Thailand-lovers! I am back here in Paradis for about 10 days! Spent a few days in Bangkok upon arrival over the weekend as usual. Had a chance to visit Hero twice. Counter to some other recent reports on the forum's here I found both the massage and extra services to be just as awesome and reliable as usual. It was clear however that business is quite low for Hero right now; the waiting area almost empty at peak time on both Friday and Sunday and they've shut off the hot water for all the showers which isn't great given the strong A/C. Luckily I had two different handsome studs make feel quite warm and fuzzy and left extremely happy on both occasions. I am now in Pattaya where the same quality of masseurs regrettable are not available but instead I am enjoying the thriving scene of Boys Town with BoysBoysBoys still putting on the best shows of its kind in the Kingdom. Predominantly Chinese customers for the show, leaving all the potential offs for us few farangs (no complaining). Visted Walking street yesterday to nuture also my interest in cute Thai ladies but that street is so overrun with tour-groups from China these days that I quickly made my way back to safe-haven BT. I won't make as lengthy and explicit reports this time as I am finding myself short on time in this relaxing place! About to head-off to BBB in BT again where there is a very handsome tall and fit thai boy with an extraordinary appendage (no 72) who I will check out further if all goes well...

Hi guys ! I Am heading to Thailand for the first time for two weeks (last week of April, first of May). I am thinking to stay in Bangkok for a few days, then go to Pattaya for 3 nights and finish the weekend at Koh Panghan for the full moon party. If you have any piece of advice for a gay hotels, gay meeting places, it will be most helpful. If any of you is there for the same period, I would be happy to meet you, especially for the full month party or to share a bungalow in Koh Panghan. In addition, any tip on how to act in a gobo bar ? Thx
