Reflections on recent trip to Thailand

[musgrave]

Firstly a thank you to the other "posters" to the forum - I found some of their information invaluable.

 

I travelled to Thailand in late November and December spending a week in Bangkok, a week in Chiang Mai and several days in Ubon.

 

Was in Chiang Mai for Loy Krathong which is always a great time. Visited Adams Apple, Orion Bar, new Secrets Bar and my favourite Classic House. Adams Apple was reasonably quiet for customers but the boys always put on a good show - lots of boys, friendly - with the Spiderman in the show being super !! boys mostly tops.

I like Orion Bar although once again not so many customers whilst I was there. Several Lisu boys playing pool and always someone to sit and talk with you.

The new Secrets Bar is really nice and friendly - small and compact and always boys wandering in and out. Ram Bar is next door. 

My favourite massage venue is House of Classic - well managed, nice surrounds, shared bathroom, massage on floor mats - minimum tip 1000THB.

 

Whilst in Chiang Mai I used the guide services of Woody and Non for day trips to Mon Cham and Chomthong.  Highly recommend. Polite, punctual, friendly - lovely new Mazda Sedan.  I had a great time with them.

 

Returning to Bangkok I visited Golden Cock and Super A - quite close to each other.  Once again  reasonably quiet venues but always someone there to spark your attention.  They have spotters outside who will alert the bar of your arrival.  Both venues have a room for hire upstairs - Golden Cock was 600 THB for the room with 1000THB for the boy - Nop the boy from Pitsanulok was worth it at GC. Super A is quite dark inside and it takes a while to adjust your eyesight to see the boys who are all in underwear - memories of Andrew Christian briefs - off fees at Super A were 500THB - I would have paid triple for the boy I offed!!! probably even more!!

 

I went to Arena Massage - very fit men there - strong body builder types - 700-800THB for 90 min oil massage - minimum tip 1000THB - massage on table with shower facilities in the room  if you visit there ask for Teep - one of the nicest young men you will ever meet - not to mention his spectacular physique - so attentive and the after shower !!!!!

 

Visited Hot Male, Dream Boys and Screw Boys - Dream Boys has great shows with a large Asian audience - some very handsome men. Off fee 600THB.  Hot Male was ok - show not as polished and men not quite so handsome as DB.. Screw Boys fell into 3rd place - quiet, smaller venue but some friendly boys - Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam - love the black and white check underwear. Don't bother with X size not worth the effort.

 

My boy from Super A was keen to see a girl bar - he is Bi - I think our visit to 2 of the girl bars may have cured him - they certainly did nothing for me!!!! but it was an experience.

 

Although I have visited Thailand several times my previous indulgences have been restricted to gay massage venues but having read other trip reports I was encouraged to expand my horizons this time - I had a ball.

 

Sorry I forgot Ubon - travelled there on the DRC - trip took 8 hours but returned to Bangkok by plane - 1 hour - plane ticket around 1000THB.  Ubon very quiet - couldnt find a appropriate bar anywhere - closest thing was a Karaoke bar near Eco Inn Hotel - me the only customer and I dont do karaoke!! Hornet was useful though.

Great report.  Thanks.  Care to share boys name from Super A worth 3x the price??

Thank you for the update about Ubon. Good news about the Black Beans karaoke which is still open, and about the neighbouring Krung Thong hotel which has been completely renovated and is now named Eco Inn.

His command of English and my command of Thai language were comparably dismal - but his name (I think) was something like Kim, Kheem or Kun???? doesn't help I know but his name was fartherest from my mind at the time!!!

 

Yes that's it the Black Bean - one of the young men told me that they had only had 20 customers in the last month - another mixed club  "Meeting" was closing down the weekend I was there.  The Eco Inn has been really well renovated - modern look about the rooms, big comfortable beds.  Just across from the Black Bean there was a husband and wife Issan food stall - great food, Issan spicy!!!

I spent four days in Ubon two years ago. I never went inside Black Beans karaoke, just chatted outside with the manager and staff. I picked a guy on each of my two visits to the outside of the bar and they took me back to my hotel room on their motorcycles. 1000 baht tip each time and excellent attitude and performance on both nights. Ubon is quiet but there were guys available and some unusual temples to visit.

Thanks for the updates, especially Chiang Mai. Very few Chiang Mai trip reports across all the gay forums nowadays. The first 6-7 years I visited Thailand 4 times per year and visited either Chiang Mai or Phuket virtually every trip and liked Chiang Mai because it was that bit different to Bkk/Pattaya experiences. I am comfortable at Thai karaokes and enjoy the fun there, and so they were the main places I hooked up when in Chiang Mai. Always stayed at P.J's Place Guesthouse after I discovered it.

I like P.J.'s Place myself.
