foresttrip Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Hey everyone, newbie 32m here, but this forum has been very helpful in trip planning. I'm planning to visit Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai in Spring of 2023. Looking forward to writing some trip reports myself when I touch down. I'm thinking about skipping Pattaya entirely, but let me know if I'm being crazy for that And if you have any recommendations for massage and gogo places in Phuket with cute twinks, please share haha! I've heard great things and I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaolakguy Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 If you scroll down the topic page on which you posted you will find two recent reports on Phuket. If you then compare those with all the recent Pattaya trip reports you will get an idea, based on what your preferences are, as to where you should best spend your time. After reading up a bit, you may have more specific requests for information. foresttrip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for beach with clean water , gothic catherals or Angkorian ruins , yes you can give Pattaya a miss. If you are looking for available guys , particularly on twinky side , you may reconsider . Do not skip Bangkok if that's your first time in Thailand foresttrip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12is12 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I second both rcmndations above: Read the recent Phuket and Pattaya threads. Share with us exactly what u r looking for, if u want btr guidance. There r no gogo clubs in Phuket, and I didnt find the massage scene tempting. I did rcmnd Adam from Blue Dolphin. foresttrip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be in Bangkok for at least 5 days, and then about 7 days in either Phuket or Pattaya. And then another 10 days or so in Chiang Mai or somewhere else purely for food and tourism (either ruins or some hiking). I'm not planning to go for any boys in those 10 days - that will be pure tourism The earlier posts on Phuket and Pattaya were very helpful. I'd like mostly massages and off some boys either from a gogo bar or just on the apps. I might go to one show, but that's not my focus. It sounds like the scene in Phuket is still pretty quiet, so I might just go to Pattaya instead. I thought it would be fun to find beautiful beaches and cute twinks in Phuket, but if there are better boy options in Pattaya, I'll just do that instead. I unfortunately don't have a lot of time on this trip, so I don't want to feel that I wasted time in a place where the options are limited. In Bangkok, I was planning to do mostly tourism (my first time in Thailand) and a lot of eating. But I'll probably go to a club or two and get a few massages if there is time.

But I'll probably go to a club or two and get a few massages if there is time. you will see cute twinks in Thailand everywhere, streets, buses , markets , temples and of course bars. Tourism is day time activity so you will have evening for that eating and then you need some exercise to prevent weight gain and bars are coming handy along with apps. When comes to massage few boys told me do not eat anything 2 hours before session gytis123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since your original objective was to meet cute twinks and see beautiful beaches in Phuket - and now you are leaning more towards going to Pattaya - please read my trip report (see below hyperlink) from November where I visited beautiful Koh Larn - the island that is directly in front of Pattaya city - which is only a 20 minute speed boat away or 40 minute ferry ride. The beaches on Koh Larn are beautiful - but not as beautiful as in Phuket. However, Koh Larn has transparent turquoise blue water with wonderful white sand beaches. my recent report on Koh Larn - the island that is directly in front of Pattaya If during your visit to Pattaya you want to make a day trip or overnight trip over to Koh Larn - let me know as I am itching to return to Koh Larn. vinapu and BL8gPt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12is12 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Although Phuket IS quieter than Pattaya, per Vinapu's obsrvation - twinks can b found evvrywhere. Dont b dissuaded by my rprt, bcs I dont like twinks. U'll have no shortage of them in both locations. U dont have to choose; u can visit both.

So you are implying that one can basically approach them everywhere (even off the street?) to strike a conversation and have them for the night or as a companion? That would be very interesting. Sorry for very late reply. I was reading old topics and this statement above got me intrigued. Because I also have upcoming first time ever trip to Thailand in May.

On another hand scenario you are painting is far from impossible , specially on busy , touristy streets later at night. Not only you can strike conversation, they may be boys who will be first. It already reported in one of my travel posts but can repeat. late at night, probably past 1 I took walk from Nantra Silom in soi 8 toward soi 2, somewhere past soi4 I noticed guy, I guess about mid 20, walking in opposite direction. He smiled , I smiled back and kept walking .On reaching end of Silom I turned back and after a while I noticed the same guy walking quite slowly. When I was passing him he asked ' where u you going ? " , so I turned and said ' to ' my hotel " , ' can I go with you ?" was the next question. I could say NO but why sane person will be doing that ? so I said YES. Very pleasant companion, too bad I did not have phone and Line then. In the morning he clearly did not look for nor expect any tip but I slipped into his pocket him 1000 or two saying ' it's for breakfast and taxi". Similar situation happened in May by the bust stop at Christian Hospital on Silom and it was barely evening. Guy stopped me out of blue and asked 'do you want sex?", I did not take him on his offer as likely I had something arranged but he looked quite OK. So when you walk , yes have eyes opened and not only because somebody could drop 20 baht note.

I'm Hunchback of Notre Dame's a bit better looking younger brother, just ask any of about 30 members here I met in person with. On serious note, neither tempting nor magnetic, when I walk I usually look at people , specially guys of offing age , whoever they may be by look. Those observant enough may be taking their chances guessing what my purpose would be. Observant guys in Silom area can actually see me walking with different guys at various times of night and day and connect dots too. Almost certainly that was a case of out -of -blue bus stop guy. gytis123 and Ryanqqq 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest Pattaya, not Phuket, for more twinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I'm not planning to go to Phuket (Bangkok and Pattaya are on my checklist) on my first trip, I'll create separate topic because I have many other questions especially about twinks in Bangkok.

So when you walk , yes have eyes opened and not only because somebody could drop 20 baht note. Very true, everywhere you can use a very powerful tool : eye contact + smile contact One late afternoon, i was walking in Silom with my boy. I had eye contact with a very cute muscular boy who was sitting waiting for a bus. My boy noticed the eye contact and said nothing. I then smiled to the muscular boy, just to be friendly... my boy just jump on me "you want him now ? why ? ", i said no no, he replied " you made smile contact, in Thailand, that means you want him now" I didn't forget that 🙂 GWMinUS, vinapu, alvnv and 3 others 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smiled back to another boy who was very "friendly". My boyfriend was very pissed off, "you smiled to him while we were dancing together, i lost face in public, please never do this to me again..."
