Karaoke/Host Bars

[chum_soccer]

I have been living in Bangkok for almost 6 months now and the Silom gogo bars and massage parlors around BKK have started to bore me.

 

So I started exploring an untapped territory amongsts us farangs in Thailand. Although foreigners are not unheard of in these Karaoke/Host Bars but its extremely rare I heard.

 

To be honest, I haven't searched the forum if there's an already existing topic about this but I hope you guys wouldn't mind. 

 

I'll jumpstart this topic with some of the few places that I have already been and I will list down a few other places that I know and hopefully some of our members can explore and share their experiences as well.

 

So here it goes:

Chill HostBar
This is located in Nonthaburi which is around 20 minutes from the Grand Palace in Bangkok. I would recommend this to first timers since the owner can speak english well and they have models whose first language is english. Some models are magazine-models-quality and most are straight. Sitting with the boy is 750/hour. VIP room starts at 300/hour. No sex in the VIP room but kiss and blowjob is alright. I was able to off someone for 500 THB and there is a motel across for the same price. The model I offed grew up in Australia so he is a Thai with an australian accent. Fucks and kisses hard. I tipped him 1,700 after.

One word of advice though is that the owner can be a little shady. He ordered food which I ended paying in the end. I've also been told that the VIP is getting prepared (even though I was the only customer that time), preparation took 1 hour and turns out I was already paying 750 for sitting with the model. What's worse is that the whole time I was just talking to the owner because I was too shy to make a move on the model (we were sitting in the common room).

If you'd like to save some moolah while exploring this bar, just buy enough drinks to get to know the model, don't order food, and just sit with the model in the common room and off him after.

 

Buzz Karaoke/Host

This is a fairly new host bar in Bangkok. There are around 30-40 boys to select from which are mostly twinks and straight. Beer prices starts at 1,000++ (3 beers), sitting with the boy in the common room is 250. VIP room is 300/hour and sitting with the boy in the VIP room is 750 for the first hour and 250 for the succeeding hours. No sex in the VIP room is allowed but kiss and blowjob are okay. Staff speaks limited english so you will need to use google translate if you don't know basic Thai. The boy I sitted with is straight and fairly new to the business. I was only able to kiss him and fondle his cock in the VIP room. He was too shy to get a blowjob in the bar. I got his Line and we were supposed to meet up so that I can give him a proper one but didn't reply on the day itself anymore :(. So this was 4,400 THB charged to experience.

 

Sit2Sis Restaurant/Ent Club

This is a hostbar in Din Daeng Bangkok. If you take a grab/bolt to the place, you will see a Sis2Sis restaurant but that is not the bar itself. You would have to go inside the parking of the same building and take the stairs one floor down. You will need to take an ATK (100/THB) to get inside. So a beer costs 260 THB, ice is 130 THB and sitting with a boy is at least one beer/hour (which is 260 THB). However, they employ a bidding concept wherein guests can fight/bid over the boy/models that they want, meaning if you bid to sit the model for one beer and someone else bid two beers (520 THB), you would have to bid three beers (730 THB) to get him and so on.. Bidding happens every after hour so all the boys would return to the stage to get bid for every after hour. Customers are mostly Thais although, there was also a group of Chinese.  What suprises me is that almost all of the 40-50 models get seated for atleast two beers. Some groups would sit 3-5 guys so be prepared to shell out some moolah to compete. I sitted a boy who can speak english and ended up sitting him for two beers for 4 rounds. My bill racked up to 4,500 with no sex, blowjob or kiss nonetheless, it was a fun night. 

 

There are a few other places in Bangkok with more or less the same concept (pay to sit the boy with no expectation of sex). This could be thrilling for others (like me, lol) who like a challenge in laying a straight guy. The only downside is the cost but if you're someone who doesn't have to worry about money, here are a few other places I found which you could try and share your experiences with:

Fake Club Bangkok

TurboClub Bangkok

76 Garage (can't sit with the guy but models are AAA quality)

Mirinn Club RCA

ERR Infinity

YES.BKK

Hiso Ciety (I think this is the cream of the crop of all Male hostbar in BKK)

This was really interesting @chum_soccer! What do the guys wear on stage/in the VIP room? I hope you’ll keep updating with your experiences. 

[spoon]

Thanks for the review! 2 of them actually in my radar already, but im not sure how things work over there. Glad to know that boys from these bars actually offable too although seems like your only success story is in chill host bar. I see they do share boys pictures on their social media. Is the guy u off in this?

In Chili Hostbar, the guy I had is topless. The guys were clothed in the other two bars. Honestly, I feel like not all them (guys in Buzz and Sit2Sis) are into VIP-type jobs (PR plus sex) so the challenge to lay them is there.

Yes, he is the third guy on the first row. He speaks english with an aussie accent. Fucks hard, kisses hard and eager to please. Next on my list is the 1st guy on the 4th row, problem is I don't wanna go there anymore. I heard he speaks limited english, can kiss and can do everything but sex.

 

Buzz quoted me 3,500 THB for off/bar fine hahaha but you can always ask the boy's Line so you can negotiate without the bar interfering.

[chum_soccer]

Also, if you guys are curious, you can search the bars I mentioned above in facebook so you get an idea how the guys there look like. 

[flashbarryallen]

@chum_soccerThanks for a well-organized and helpful post. I have never really understood the host bar concept and thus have never been to one.

When you mention the hourly, is that per person or per table? I have a good local friend who I think may enjoy this environment and I want to treat him. Would I be paying per hour for both of us or just for the table?

Also, any information on first guy in first row?

That would be per boy seated or VIP room booked. Lets say you and your friend seated guy A for one drink and brought him into the VIP room. You will just have to pay the seat rate of 250/hour and VIP room of 300/hour (total 550/hour).

 

I have seen the first guy in the first row in person. I was suprised he was already selling some shoes to the guy I booked when I got back to the VIP room from the toilet lol. With regards to what he can or cannot do, you may ask Chili Hostbar via Line. I remember asking if I can have sex, bj, kiss, etc before lol.

Really good info, thanks for the post and please keep us updated on your discovery as you make your way through the list.

[flashbarryallen]

@chum_soccerI messaged you about Hiso, but maybe you can answer here. When you say cream of the crop, does that apply to the pricing as well? I'm almost afraid it's one of those places where if you have to ask, you can't afford kind of thing. I saw pictures from there and was blown away.

I haven't been there but I just had the same i mpression as you.. Their models look top class and I have seen somewhere that their bill racked up to 110,000 THB but this was probably not an everyday case..

But yeah, these host bars give us  more options to where find love in Bangkok haha.. Arent you guys getting tired going to hotmale, dreamboys, jupiter, etc.?

I think its about time we explore and review these places.. 

One bar I forgot to add above is KKK karaoke/hostbar.. Attached is their menu.

As far as I, m concerned answer is NO although you are right, is good to have options

[flashbarryallen]

Yeah, for me, I wouldn't say I'm sick of the gogo bars, especially since I haven't been to one in years, but it's more about finding a guy that makes my heart skip a beat. It's not even about a "type", but a special quality. 

I've already seen photos of two guys at Chill that give me the heart beat skip...and thus will end up with too much of my money.

HiSo seems to have a ton of hunky guys, but there's one who wears glasses who could be balancing my books during the day and then doing some bedroom credits and debits at night. Must. Meet. Him.

Fun Fact: It also seems that Nutt from Moonlight makes appearances at Chill, especially when they do boxing theme nights.

[flashbarryallen]

For those who want a glimpse into the quality of guys at HiSo, I suggest the following video. I would try to add commentary, but it speaks for itself, especially if you're into hunky guys and even moreso if you like hunky guys who can dance.

So if you're going to Chill my advise is not to get the VIP room anymore, dont fall to the owners sweet talks (he can be pretty entertaining and good to talk to), and decide within the first hour if you're going to off the guy or not..

Thanks @chum_soccer. Why not get the VIP room anymore in Changsha?

 

I feel like 76 Garage has better quality in terms of model. But sadly you can't sit with them. Hope someone can share Hiso city or other hostbars experiences. Hope the prices do not shock me.

[flashbarryallen]

After following up on Line, it seems that HiSo is not gay friendly. When asked if it's only for women or if men can come too, I only received a reply saying "women"

When I got a  VIP room, they kept telling me that its still getting readied. That went on for an hour so as it turns out I was already paying for sitting the model while I was out waiting in the common room, talking to the owner the whole time and him ordering food.

You can get one but just be wary of their tactics in luring you to spend more.

That is tricky. Better to book VIP advance. Thanks for the info.

baFor anyone interested in Fake Club, I went there quite often with my friends. If you and your friends often hang out together, in 4 or 5, it would defenitely deserve a try. You can order a combo for about 3000 baht, including a Black Label/other liquor and half a dozen mixers. And the boys will cost you 2 drinks per an hour or half an hour (250/300 per drink, I don't remember clearly). BUT what might disappoint you, as chun_soccer mentioned, you might need to negotiate with the boys about the further steps. And according to my experience, it would be quite hard to talk smoothly with them, as most of them don't speak english that well.

Nearly 100% straight by the way lol.

[chum_soccer]

Funny is that I went to fake club too. Paid 100 something baht for anti gen before entry.

 

I felt out of place as soon as I went in. I didn't know that it is a full blown night club haha I was expecting it to be like a gogo or host bar. I left as soon as i got in lol

 

I dont think fake club is a place you can go alone lol

100% correct! Going there da solo perhaps not the best way to explore this place.

By the way, it was more international before the pandemic, but it targets more at the local market, female and gay.

If you are interested in karaoke bars with male hosts , there are several in Pattaya which are a good bit cheaper.

In a recent review elsewhere of Friendly Club,in Soi Korpai the poster stated "there are line-ups every hour or so and you have to call the boys down to join you for a ‘drink’ – about 200 baht a boy, and the boys are yours to talk to, dance with or flirt with until the next line-up".

Mostly Thai for Thai, but as it is Pattaya there are a few tourists a well.

Might be  a cheaper way to experience it.
