In 2016 or 17 few boys at Tawan were asked to leave because they did not met their quota of drinks or offs. Not sure that practice exists anymore anywhere but somehow I doubt, bars need crowded scene because even most attractive guys after a while will be losing their luster. Quote

Popular Post jason1975 Posted June 17, 2023 Author Popular Post Posted June 17, 2023 Friday (Day 13) - Karaoke night with three Hotmale Beer Bar downstairs staff and fellow forum member. Found out that Happy Beer Garden has karaoke room at back. It charges 200 baht per hour. Manageress saw our group and knew that we would be ordering food and beer and she gave us a special rate of 500 baht for room for whole night. We didn't sing for the whole night but were there from 8pm to 1am which was 5 hours. Had to stop at 1am because some of the guys were half drunk. I think about 20 bottles of Lao beer consumed. Fellow forum member and I were pleasantly surprised by how much the guys love to sing. We found out that Myanmese and Laos music are so interesting. Most are slow and folksy in nature but there are some fast songs with guitar solos. There was one song about Pakse - which was a city in Laos and the hometown of one of the guys. There's even a gay Myanmar pop song! Fellow forum member and I saw the music video which had ladies dancing and a guy singing and we didn't know what's so gay about it but maybe it's in the lyrics, which we of course didn't understand. Overall a pleasant change from the typical night at bar. vinapu, moistmango, Boy69 and 9 others 12 Quote

Popular Post jason1975 Posted June 18, 2023 Author Popular Post Posted June 18, 2023 Saturday (Day 14) - Poker night in hotel room with 3 Laos guys with loser drinking soju shots or stripping one piece of clothing. Winner of each round wins 100 baht. I met and got to know them over the years and had offed them individually. Last December during Christmas, all 3 were working at Banana and I took them back for poker party. 6 months later, one has upgraded to Jupiter (because he is most handsome among them) while another went back to Freshboys where he first started. The youngest had gone back to Laos but came back to Bangkok to work again at Banana just a few days ago. I had their Line accounts and told them in advance the plan for the night - pick up Jupiter Laos guy first followed by Banana Laos guy then they go to Foodland Patpong to order dinner while I pick up Freshboys Laos guy. As it was early at about 8.30pm, bars were empty and mamasans were flexible. They allowed me to just turn up at bar and no need to buy drink for myself. Just pay off fee. But it was my last night of this trip and feeling generous, I tipped the mamasans. Because the 3 Laos guys haven't met each other for a while now that they are working at different bars, it was awkward for them at first when we had dinner together at Foodland Patpong but once they got warmed up, it was like old times joking and having fun. After dinner, we walked as a group back to hotel, passing by Hotmale beer bar downstairs and I said bye to the staff there and see you again in December for Christmas. In hotel room, we thankfully didn't get any complaints from hotel because of too much noise. This time round, everyone had gotten wiser at poker so no one ended up stripped down to birthday suit. After finishing the soju and winning the money I prepared for them, they left happily. I went with them down to hotel lobby. We went our separate ways. I went to Tawan to off tall dark twink with glasses whom I had seen a few days ago. Very young only 19. Thai. Horny like crazy and kept begging to fuck me. Enjoyable session. Only downer is he asked for extra for taxi. reader, Ruthrieston, Travellerdave and 11 others 14 Quote
jason1975 Posted June 18, 2023 Author Posted June 18, 2023 Overall not as sexciting as previous trips (nothing can beat the days of Soi Twilight) but this was a leisurely enjoyable holiday as I got to know some new people (the owners and staff of Coffee Grinder) and met several forum members.

jason1975 Posted June 18, 2023 Author Posted June 18, 2023 Thank you all for your kind praises. I cannot compare to our famous fellow forum member in his trip reports. Now I am deciding whether to go to Bangkok again in early December or mid-December until Christmas. Once I confirm my work schedule by August, will make booking. Quote

Popular Post Londoner Posted June 18, 2023 Popular Post Posted June 18, 2023 Yes. My first two trips gave me only five nights in Thailand... the journey was not much short of twenty hours each way. It was tough. But that's work for you. I solved the problem by taking early retirement. The best decision I ever made. floridarob, yp11, kokopelli3 and 4 others 7 Quote

fedssocr Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 for me it's usually about 24 hours one way. So at least 2 weeks and more like 4 makes it worthwhile Quote
vinapu Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Brings tears to my eyes, as I do my 30 hour trip , door to door. count me in , my last return just over week ago was exactly 30 hrs 55 mins, door to door Quote
vinapu Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 for me it's usually about 24 hours one way. So at least 2 weeks and more like 4 makes it worthwhile I thought week long trip was idiocy until I tried it in 2018 and repeated in 2019. Actually enjoyed it chiefly because boys I met were outstanding and in 2019 my long leg on return was in half empty Eva aircraft so I had all 4 seats in the middle section to myself.
