Freighter Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Hi, So I've had one or two massages before, but now I'm interested in visiting Tawan and enjoying the muscular guys. I had some questions about how it works though. At a massage shop you obviously have a built in room to go to. And the prices are set. What kind of prices can I expect to pay and which would that be? I assume there's the entrance fee, and I heard about a price for 'offing' a guy? And then a tip? I was hoping someone could write a short 'guide' for me about what to expect and what I should keep in mind. Also how would it work with a room? Do they provide a private room or do you have to book somewhere? What can I expect a guy from Tawan to do? Thanks! Quote

Popular Post paulfort Posted September 27, 2018 Popular Post Posted September 27, 2018 Hi Mate If your looking at Tawan bar which I am guessing you mean rather than massage place across the soi then suggest..... They charge an entrance fee but effectively the first drink about 400 THB Enter and they will show you to a seat, don't be afraid to ask for a more discrete seat or a seat right by stage, what ever suits you and obtain your initial inclusive drink. The rotation is fairly slow but bit by bit all the guys will appear on the stage (unless a show time but they continue after) You will see many but far from all the boys sat around the seats between their rotation on the stage, some with customers (or trying to be!) others in the small gym area near the back of the bar, however many head outside and they also have a sort of lounge/gym area above where many boys wait until their turn on the stage!. Simply enjoy, watch and wait, when any one appeals to you, either beckon him over or ask one of their excellent non pushy mamasans about him or to introduce you The boy will happily come over and sit with you, be prepared to buy him a drink as that will be encouraged very quickly again circa 400 THB. Talk to the boy or if language an issue one of the mamasans will assist you and explain what you want (if the mamasan helps a lot and your happy be fair and give him a tip as you leave!) If you dont feel he is the one for you (or someone more appealing catches your eye!) just thank him, give him a small tip circa 100 THB depending on how long he sat with you and he will understand and move on. otherwise agree with the boy so both clear on expectations, talk about money if you wish but often offends so I don't see as a priority more important to agree what you want and if OK with the boy, they have no doubt heard it all before so just be honest almost most I have ever met in Tawan couldn't be more obliging! if you want to off the boy, confirm to him or Mamsan, he will quickly get changed and ask to "check bin" you will be charged about 400 to 500 THB "off fee" for the boy, pay for that and your drinks, along with a small tip key people in the team if they looked after you but especially the mamasan if helpful as above depending on service. Often if I like the guy I have suggested going for a drink and some food, as we leave as to cost but if he speaks your language can be fun then back to your room! I normally stay local to Tawan (so the Raya or Tartawan place before) but if your not than short time rooms are easy to find, the mamasan or the boy will no doubt advise on many easy options very close! With regards to what they will do as mentioned earlier down to you to be honest as to what you want, they are all very open! Tip wise, lots of info and thoughts on this site, in my experience "short time" so often for me a couple of drinks, dinner (and accept if you offer that they will probably select a good steak or large fresh fish dish if on the menu!) but that is optional you can just go to your room but I like to get to know them, then maybe a couple of hours fun in your room circa 2,500 to 3,000 THB but others say less, I just want to be fair if happy! Hope that helps you? vinapu, a447a, JackR and 3 others 6 Quote
paborn Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Excellent - no one could be confused after this! Quote
vinapu Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Tawan massage or Tawan bar - you seem to be conflating the two? Massage place beside Tawan is called actually Sun massage which is the same thing as I was told that Tawan means ' sun ' in Thai. I addition to excellent paulfort piece above: if you unwilling / don't want to take boy to your hotel boys will know short time rooms and I was told that for that purpose they can use massage room in Sun , right beside the bar. You will be charged extra for that 300-500 baht I guess. As for tips, short time which is 1-3 hrs , 2000 should be accepted with smile , boys will try for more seeing sparks in your eyes (been there , done that ) but 2500 is very generous and unless you really enamored with boy , try to stick with 2000. In low season , slow day newish boys may accept even as low as 1500 but don't count on it. Long-time which is overnight or as I always specify ' till breakfast' - 3000 but they definitely will be pressing for 4000 or even as high as 5000 but if you stick your ground 3000 should be accepted and newish boys will smile at 2500 perhaps. As they are invariably very friendly don't lose your head but if you really like boy, don't try to economize either as some of them are very popular and can be taken fast. I noticed that boys take early , like between 9-11 p.m. may tend to rush things hoping to finish you and return to the bar for another chance, closer to midnight they may be more relaxed and amendable but best choices may be gone already. But really what best choice is ? My dreamboy may not warrant second glance from you and vice versa. When you having drink in the bar with them they are not averse to some discreet inspection and not shy to kiss if you ask them. Mamasans are not pushy which can't be said about many other bars. You will have blast there, just enter with smile ggobkk and Alizizou 2 Quote

manuelmendez Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 i try to get long time with the boys. but, they just prefer short time. they hv reason that they hv early workout gym next morning, or something next morning. anyway, any tricks/ proper way to ask the boys for long time, overnight? any experiences? Quote
manuelmendez Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 their mamasan not so pushy. he always help if u ask for something. some boys know to search for customers, some just chill out, a few may irritate you but reject them with good manner. Quote
paborn Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Vinapu, Massage place beside Tawan is called actually Sun massage which is the same thing as I was told that Tawan means ' sun ' in Thai. I'm sure your right. It has been a number of years that I have ignored Bangkok in favor of going directly to Pattaya. It was called Tawan Massage on the sign. In fact, if you check the current ad in Thai Puan you will see the same "Tawan Massage" with a smaller sun underneath. I guess they never paid for a new ad design. Quote
vinapu Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 i try to get long time with the boys. but, they just prefer short time. they hv reason that they hv early workout gym next morning, or something next morning. anyway, any tricks/ proper way to ask the boys for long time, overnight? any experiences? that's true . often they mention other job , gym or even taking kids to school as excuse for skipping on long time , rarely if ever I heard that their girlfriend / boyfriend / wife is obstacle though. I guess money speaks What softens their stance? first have drink with them , it works much better than just showing up , calling boy and asking about long time. Second , if you offed them short time previously , they kind of know what to expect in both terms of tip and your personality and may be much more enthusiastic , worked for me many times. Third, if you are known to other boys in the bar, mention that. Their recommendation may work. I even had a case when boy hold firm on requested tip until his bar friend told him what he got night before and off we went, three of us in fact as they talked me to taking both of them, LOL Be aware that scenario may also work against you - tip you paid will be expected by all but I found that simple explanation " I only pay that to X " worked specially if boy taken is untested for you. ggobkk and paborn 2 Quote

orson Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 was there last week. unfortunately, most of the guys are off season. i can count less than 5 who can be in the muscle guys category and maybe another 5 in the toned categoy. but the bar was at least 3/4 full on a weekday night and full on the weekend. they have up'ed the sleaze factor, with lots of guys going around the big cock show. the katoey show was dropped when i was there. hope it is permanent as i don't really enjoy them. vinapu and paborn 2 Quote
vinapu Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 400 baht is pretty expensive, I remember it was 250 in the past. and then were those who complained on Dreaded Ned and others sites of the day that 250 is expensive because they recalled it was 150. The same when we think about prices of gas in our countries . Not worth stressing ourselves out about inflation, it is what it is. Quote
paborn Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 One poster, sorry I can't remember who noted the really small amount that fees and drinks had gone up compared to other things in life. Grocery costs in the US are incredibly high. Yet, I have been paying around $1,500 for airfare to Thailand for years. I can't recall the time frame, but it's been around ten years. This amazes me far more than the cost of a drink in a Gay Bar. The last pizza I had delivered in South Florida cost me the same as a 500 B. off fee - which do you think promises me the most pleasure? vinapu 1 Quote
spoon Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Geez, its hard to choose between south florida's super delicious mouth watering cheese oozing 500baht pizza and a tawan boy lol vinapu, Jasper and paborn 3 Quote
hank75 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Guess you didn’t have to tip the pizza though? LOL Quote
paborn Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 If it could provide why Screboy does it would be my pleasure. Wait, it's really the Pizzeria's fault, They have such good pizza and unappetizing drivers. Quote
manuelmendez Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Tawan still charge 400bhat per entry, keep the ticket as exchange to any drinks. I took beer, but won't finish it. as i had gastritis. too bad. The shows start late, around 11pm. Each shows last about 5 mins. As usual, shows end with which man can ejaculate further. the men, some more to physique, some are bulky, most of them are off season. the men always knew which customer who will off them. they just sat together side by side for luck. I need help, anyone here knew real id of the tawan muscle men in social media? need to remember them. to avoid public expose, can pm me those muscle men id. Alizizou 1 Quote
