Trip report May 2019

[londonboy]

I have been grateful to learn so much from the reviews of others over the years. Now I have just returned from my most recent visit to Bangkok, I thought I would share my experiences with everyone. 

It is certainly a time of change around the gogo bar scene in Bangkok just at the moment. I will include my observations of some of the new bars, alongside the old.

Day 1

Flight arrived at 7pm. Quickly through fast-track immigration and bags rapidly available. Traffic into the city was terrible. This might be usual on a Friday night or possibly because of the celebrations for the Kings coronation over the weekend. Settled into hotel in Silom close to the scene. Tired, but feel like a beer and a quick look round the bars to get settled in.  First visit to Lucky Boys. Arrive as the show is drawing to a close with big cock show boys walking around the crowd seeking tips for a quick feel.  A big barn of a place and it is packed. Lots of staff around who find me a seat. Good layout, with a mix of booth style seating for groups and other individual or small seating areas. Lots of boys. Mostly twinks.  Place empties fast at the end of the show.  Not in the mood for an off, so finish drink and go back to hotel. Left with the impression that Lucky Boys has quickly established itself as the leading bar amongst the new group on Soi 1.  They have probably taken lots of business from the old Dreamboys. I wonder if they will be able to sustain this longer term?  Back to hotel and a lengthy sleep.

Day 2

Late breakfast then a couple of hours at the hotel pool. Mid-afternoon decide to go for a massage. Keen to try 'Magic Touch by the Tree' based upon some very positive recent reviews.  Arrive around 3pm. Easy to find and nice venue - clean and nicely decorated. No choice of masseur as I hadn't booked in advance and I am allocated to the next masseur on their rotation system. No problem with this in principle if all the masseurs have the same skills. Take 90 mins scrub and oil massage. Huge disappointment. Whilst masseur was friendly and attractive, his massage skills were average to poor and not a sensuous experience at all.  He remained in his clothes throughout. Only towards the end did he offer me the 'special' service and suggested I'd like to tip him 2000Bht. Politely declined! He's going to have to work much harder for a tip anywhere near that size. So I leave unsatisfied, but with further opportunities ahead over the next week. I have no reason not to believe the earlier positive reviews of Magic Touch. I guess I was just unlucky in the selection of the masseur. But I'm not sure I'll go back, which is a pity given the convenient location close to my hotel. 

In the evening I decide to try more of the new bars - Hotmale and then Freshboys. Both bars a decent size and familiar layouts to the previous bars - with main stage area and tiered seating around 3 sides. Good number of boys in both bars - again mostly twinks - and the shows were the usual range of acts including fucking shows at the end. Freshboys has a fun group of waiters who seem to be competing with the stage boys for drinks and possible offs (the waiters all have numbers) from customers. There was lots of amusing interactions going on with the waiters. I found the waiters more attractive than the stage boys. After the 12 Midnight show, I offed my favourite waiter - back to hotel together for a couple of hours of fun. It made up for the poor massage experience earlier.

Day 3 onwards to follow soon ...........

Great report...please keep the posts coming!

The Freshboys 2 (patpong) waiters are very cute, sexy & funny...I was sorely tempted several times but got lured away by a couple of my regulars on stage!

Great report...looking forward to the updates.  LOL about the Freshboys waiters...and glad there are no numbers on the mamasans!

from that great report above it looks that mourning after soi Twilight death will be short lived as bars seem to be picking up the speed.

And no doubt we need to keep close attention to those waiters at Freshboys.

Waiting impatiently for  a next installment of your adventures

Day 3

Another late start after the night before. Late breakfast and then some time relaxing at the pool. 

Mid-afternoon, decide to head out for a massage. After the disappointment at 'Magic Touch' the previous day, decide to go to MyHero. It's further to travel and more expensive, but a place where I have always received consistently good service in the past and where the choice of boys is generally more to my taste. Free travel on the skytrain due to the coronation celebrations this weekend is an unexpected bonus. Arrive at MyHero around 4pm. About 20 guys to choose from. Immediately focus on a lean but muscular guy, one of the few to take his shirt off to reveal a great torso, wide shoulders, slim waist and muscular 6 pack. My choice is confirmed when mamasam includes him in the group of guys when I enquire 'who is gay/does everything?' Masseur is called Win - suffice to say it is a great session - scrub, oil massage and special service. Restores my faith in massage services after the previous days disappointment. Leave feeling rejuvenated and satisfied. 

Rest up back at hotel for a while and then head out to dinner - a local thai restaurant for a good chicken green curry.

Its getting a bit late now - around midnight - but decide to pop into Moonlight for a beer. There is a special boy here who I have linked up with on previous visits and I'm curious to know if he is still around. Fixed fee of 450 bht to enter - for show and one drink. The place is busy as there is a birthday celebration for the owner/manager taking place. I go upstairs to find a seat and watch the final parts of the second show. As the show ends and the boys reappear on stage, it is clear that many have already been offed and few remain to choose from. No sign of my special one. I decided to head back to hotel alone to sleep but resolve to return earlier tomorrow as the choice of boys at Moonlight is usually to my taste.

Day 4 to follow .............
