Guest carnyx Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Hey I m a 34 guy who has no experience whatsoever with the gay scene but want to give it a try during my trip to bangkok beginning of July. I would love to visit places like Babylon but feel a bit shy as i never been to such a places before. So i am looking for a mature western guy who could take me for a tour with him. He needs to be gentle and understanding. I am not sure my message belongs here ,sorry if this is not the case. Quote
Gaybutton Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 I would love to visit places like Babylon but feel a bit shy as i never been to such a places before. Your message is fine right where it is. Trust me on this, you do not need anyone to go to Babylon with you. Everyone is a little shy their first time at something entirely new, but at Babylon there is no need. When you enter, you'll pay the fee. They'll give you a receipt and just a few steps from there you'll be given a locker key. Then you simply go upstairs, find your locker, open it, and there will be a towel inside. That's the attire . . . the towel. There will be a condom or two in there as well. If you want to wear a swim suit, that's fine too. Then simply wander around. It will take you maybe five minutes, if that long, to catch on. Chances are strong that you'll be approached by different guys. You're just about guaranteed to meet people there and, shall we say, you are very unlikely to leave Babylon as a virgin. Your locker key has a wrist cord. That key also acts as a credit card. Any food or drinks you have will be charged to your key number and you pay when you are leaving Babylon. All you have to say to a taxi driver or motorcycle taxi driver is "bai bah-bee-LON." They all know, or print out their address in Thai from their web site ( http://www.babylonbangkok.com/map_bbl.htm ). When you exit Babylon, there are motorcycle taxis right there or if you step outside to the street it won't be long before a taxi comes by. If you've never been to a gay sauna before, you'll either love it or hate it. But do try it. The best time of day to go is around 3:30-4:00pm, although you will probably have success even earlier.

Guest carnyx Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Thank man for the answer I ve got more questions about Babylone. Can i go there without hassle? Not sure i am ready for it if it is the case. Just want to have a look,then see if i meet nice people,that is also why i wanted to g with somebody in the know. Is there also mature farangs there cause i never been attracted by asian men? Thanks Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Is there also mature farangs there cause i never been attracted by asian men? You'll find that many of the non-Asians (and that could be up to 50% of all those at Babylon) qualify for the "mature" category! However, most of them will be there to hook up with Asians. I'm not sure if there is much of a farang for farang market there. Perhaps others can advise. There is absolutely no hassle at Babylon. Just be careful to take off any neckchain, jewellry or other adornments. These, together with your wallet and other valuables, can be left in special boxes just after reception. I have a small gold neckchain which is really difficult to get off, and so I just keep it on in a sauna. But on one visit, in the steam room several times I felt a guy try to prize it open (if I can't do it in the light, there's no way he could do it in the dark!). In addition to the usual rooms, Babylon has two steam rooms, two tiny saunas, a dark whirlpool bath, an open-air swimming pool (swim suit essential), an open-air bar area, a well-stocked gym and two restaurants. So there's lots of places where you can just sit back and people watch. If you then see someone you like, you can follow him to wherever he leads. Lastly, if it's foreigners you're after, then Babylon is almost your only option because I believe the other saunas are basically Thai for Thai - or Asian for Asian. Quote

Gaybutton Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Can i go there without hassle? Is there also mature farangs there cause i never been attracted by asian men? Yes, you can go there with no hassle at all. Yes, there will be mature farangs there. If you are fairly good looking you are quite likely to find someone who will be interested in you. As I said, you really don't need someone "in the know." Believe me, in just a very few minutes there you will be as much "in the know" as anyone else. You might also want to consider advertising yourself on Gay Romeo ( http://www.gayromeo.com ). It is free and if you post a few photos of yourself and state that you are interested in farang, not Asians, you'll have more responses than you can handle. Quote
Guest blkorean30 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 This is all good news, its my first stop in Thailand when I arrive mid July, my friend recommended as a must stop! I'm staying on premises, are the suites any good? Quote
Guest carnyx Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I m living in Thailand that why i am asking... I think Babylone might be a bit too hardcore for me,maybe there is a bar where i can meet others farangs guys in a more "quiet" way? Quote

Soi 4 caters for farang=thai. @Richards is a quiet, homely gay bar with cute staff, friendly management and nice farang clientele. Quote

Yep, and at 34 years old you'll be the youngest guy in there by around 20 years. You'll feel like a real novelty. My advice is to go to Soi 4 and take the plunge in Telephone or Balcony. Lots of farangs and Thais of all ages and plenty of chances to strike up a conversation with someone who will show you the ropes. Quote
