Popular Post GoldMember Posted January 5, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 5, 2020 This is not a trip report. Let's call this a trip review since I feel I wrote similar stuff only 2 months ago so I will summarize this short BKK visit in a single yet exhaustive post. 35yo Israeli guy here. This is my 7th trip to my favorite city in the world. My BDay was on August and my husband asked me what do I want. We both knew that he really owed me a nice gift this year for taking care of our child while he had to study very hard this past year. Thus, I asked for a thing I knew will make me very happy and he could enjoy as well: 2 round trip tickets to the White Party in Bangkok. I already heard the rumors of my favorite DJ return to BKK: Offer Nissim. We didn't want to leave our daughter for long, and also I had work so this was an insanely long distance short trip of 3 nights. But as I previously wrote: A trip is better than no trip. The 11 hour flight to Suvarnabhumi went easy as we got upgraded both directions. Fast track made things easier and it took us from airplane door to hotel lobby 56 minutes. Compared to my memory of BKK traffic 2 years ago in NYE, this trip traffic was usually free and not jammed. Don't know why. Le Meridien - this was my go to hotel in BKK. I have very good memories from it so I booked 3 nights for us. It's NYE rates so it costed way more than it should but I knew this was good. I'm afraid that this hotel is not what I remembered it was. My last stay there was Oct 16. The hotel seemed tired: The rooms, the breakfast, the gym, the lounge. I'm not sure if I was too nostalgic about this hotel since I had good memories conceived in it, but I'm kinda sure it's not the case. I think that the same amount of money can get better accommodation, but it's location is unbeatable in my opinion. I do need to emphasize that all was OK with this hotel, just not as fine as I remembered it. The Prince - after arrival, we went to prince to officially start this vacation. Place was PACKED, as you would expect at 5PM a day before NYE. I told my husband we wait and see who comes out of the rooms since the guys on display were the ones no one chose for a reason. After 15 mins a hot guy comes out so I point him out quickly to the mamasan and send my husband with him. After several minutes another guy comes out, athletic figure, and before anyone else can take him, I just point him out and go in. I did not expect him to be that great, but he was. Name was Jack. Massage was everything I expect for when I go to prince. And surprisingly both of us got a full 1H session. Usually I don’t care if we finish earlier when I'm that satisfied but this was a refreshing turn of events. We both left very satisfied to our room to prepare for my queen’s appearance. WPBKK2020 - This was the fifth WP hosted in BKK and my personal 2nd. I visited that party 2 years ago when my DJ queen did her debut performance there. I already wrote in the past the true and important meaning of DJ Offer Nissim in my life so I will spare that text again. I will say that his performance this time was outstanding. The crowd loved him and that party was as I expected it to be and even better. Take everything I'm saying here with some proportion as I am criticized by my friends on not being able to be critical at all when it comes to my queen. Regarding WP production, it definitely got bigger and all small details were taken into consideration on this events. They did an outstanding job regarding production in terms of lights, ambience, scenery, bars, toilets. This productions quality is the best I've seen in the gay circuit world. And believe me, I've seen a lot lol. Being the critical person that I am, I'll point out also the flaws: sound was WAY above decimal limit. Just as it was last time I was there. I had ear plugs but I don't know how people survive this event without. This is illegal in my country and should be also anywhere in the world. Also, on the WP Main event's Offer Nissim party Dec 30 the queues in CentralWorld were about 1H long when we arrived at 22:30. Being the good Israelis that we are, we of course passed them by and did not stand in line like good civilized people. But that queue was a result of bad planning. Last, the production got a bit too commercialized. Lots of booths selling merchandise, and video art inside the party sometimes displayed commercials. Other than what I have written’ the production was on the highest standards in the gay circuit industry. We attended both the WP(Dec 30) and NYE party (Dec 31). Both were kinda similar if you exclude the fact that on the first party my favorite DJ appeared so for me it was way way better. Similar to previous experience, party is 90 percent Asian, 1 percent female. Crowd is mostly Asian foreign since this party is expensive. Our VIP ticket was 120USD for a single ticket to one party. Crowd is very friendly, with a very good representation of what is eye candy for me. Most of the party attenders were likely on recreational drugs. Most of the party attenders were shirtless as it is usually the custom in these kind of parties. Lots of dancefloor flirting and making out occurs, and we do so and enjoy that as well. Party ends rather early but standard for BKK: 3AM. In TLV this is the best time to actually arrive to a club LOL. Babylon - we went to Babylon twice. Jan 1st and 2nd. Both times place was packed and serving my favorite dish: Asian muscular men. Babylon was very generous on me on both times and I left both times shocked with satisfaction. I will add that it's the only sauna in the world that combines the ability to find sex but also to REALLY chill and relax in a nice atmosphere. This place has a warm spot in my heart (and my dick). G Bangkok (G.O.D) - We went there on Jan 1st. As I previously wrote, I love that place in terms of music, crowd, atmosphere and smoking. This was a similar experience. It was PACKED as I expected so we arrived early. In my opinion, the music in this club was better than WPs NYE party. Smoking is allowed and the ambience is dark and sexual, just the way I like it. Ear plugs are essential here as well but music level is not as severe as in the WP. This place and babylon remain my BKK jewels. In lack of time, I spared the Grindr and sexual text, also considering that I wrote extensively on those on my previous reports. This was a BKK quickie with the main objective of enjoying my queen in my favorite city, and so I did. I have no plans to return to BKK soon, but I will, sometime. Maybe Songkran 2021. I'm kinda addicted to this place. But, new experiences are needed and my first taste of Sao Paulo and Rio is coming this Passover, so it will probably be a while till I return to BKK. Love and best wished to y'all! And now to some party photos and videos. They are kinda shitty lol but all was taken by yours truly. I heart Offer Nissim: Offer Nissim - Hyms to god - This is Ofra's apperance song in WPBKK2020 which means that songs start and she appears after a long intro. Cheering and shouting in this video is done by yours truly. Hyms.mp4 Offer Nissim - Crazy Things at Night - This is one of my favorites and also the title of my previous trip report. Crazy.mp4 Offer Nissim - Everybody Needs a Man - This is Ofra's most famous worldwide hit. Crowd went insane here. ENAM.mp4 Offer Nissim - Completely Yourself - Zoom out on the party - This was her farewell song and the end of her WPBKK2020 3H set. Complety.mp4 From The NYE party this is Tommy Love playing Offer Nissim's newest song - Light My Fire. Note the commercials instead of proper video art. fire.mp4 And from GOD this is DJ Spektrum K playing an Ofra classic song - Deborah Cox - Easy As (Offer Nissim remix). Notice that in GOD Soup Du Jour is as always hot shirtless men. GOD EASY AS.mp4 I invite you to witness my queen's appearance on the previous TLV pride. All and all included, her best performances are at her hometown, take a look how she combines gay house and opera. My queen shows up at 3:14 but you got to watch the build up as well. paulsf, AlexThompson, hank75 and 5 others 7 1 Quote

anddy Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 glad you had a great time, bummer we didn't manage to meet up at WP, but it was fun for me too, even if without your queen lol, as I was confined to the smaller floor on the side... But that turned out not bad at all after initially being empty. GoldMember and vinapu 2 Quote

And although you didn't get to meet the queen, TLV current rumors state that she will be performing in your homeland this summer! Quote
GoldMember Posted January 9, 2020 Author Posted January 9, 2020 A quick addition that I forgot about - The Glitz - Our flight back home left at midnight. This is usually the case for me when using EL AL or RJ. I prefer it that way since then I can sleep during most of the flight. Downside of that departure time is that check out time was 2PM (after some begging in Meridien lobby). Usually I just leave my luggage and return at 9PM but we wanted to rest and take a shower before the flight. I booked a night at the Glitz just for that 7 hour gap (40USD). It was a nice 2 minute walk from Le Meridien. That Place was more than sufficient for that matter with a clean room. I don't think I could have stayed there for the night just because the mattress was a showstopper for me. But all and all for what we needed it, it did the job well. We did spend inside that room less than 2 hours - but that is just what we needed it for. vinapu 1 Quote
vinapu Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Smart move. I never bother with reception begging when leaving late in the afternoon and in the evening , just buy extra night or if that doesn't make economical sense for few hours book, like you something cheaper to have an access to shower and A/C while waiting. I stay 2 night at Glitz with Z in Aug and don't recall any mattress problems. I guess we were too busy or something. Location is great , specially for Tawan lowers. Do they still collect that 500 key card deposit ? Quote
spoon Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 One other place u can take showers and lay down and get mutilated by hunks is the few full services massage places that have ensuite showers and beds. Nearest in silom should be Senso. Though itll probably cost you more than usd40 hehe. Prime is also a candidate if u go for oil massage, you will get a room either with ensuite showed or near a communal shower. Quote
