Gaybutton Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I just wondered if the happy boys bar had reopened , and if so what is cost of an upstairs visit including the boys tip Yes, it is open. It's been open for quite a while now. It costs 150 baht to go upstairs, but only if you haven't bought a minimum amount of drinks while still downstairs. I really can't remember what that minimum is. It's probably about 250 baht, but maybe someone else knows for sure. Regarding a tip for a boy you bring upstairs with you, I can't answer that one. There is no set amount. It's an "up to you." I would imagine, depending on what you do and how good the boy is at doing it (if it goes beyond just having a nice little chat), 500 to 1000 baht would be appropriate. Quote
Guest Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Why not just add a few more baht & pay the full off fee? Then you can have fun in the hotel, away from other customers, mirrors & so on. Much more tasteful in my view. [They were definitely open last week] Quote
Gaybutton Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 They were definitely open last week That's good. I'd hate to go to a bar that was indefinitely open . . . I can think of several reasons to go upstairs rather than take a boy off. Instant gratification comes to mind. Then we had that thread here on which some people posted about being embarrassed to be seen walking the streets with a bar boy. That upstairs area is a good alternative for them, unless of course they are too embarrassed to even be seen walking up a set of stairs. It also saves time. By the time you arrange to take a boy off, wait for him to change clothes, get to your hotel, get to your room, and take the showers that neither of you probably really need anyway, who knows? You may have lost the mood and now have to wait for the Viagra to take effect. By taking him upstairs, you also don't have to be concerned about the possibility of him stealing any of your valuables. Some people enjoy doing their thing within the bar atmosphere. To some, while in the bar the boy is still perceived as a sexual being. Once he is in street clothes and is headed for your room with you, now he is a human being again. Going upstairs also can save money. Many people who take a boy off don't necessarily head directly for their hotel room. Sometimes they offer to take the boy somewhere to eat first, or maybe some shopping, or maybe a stop somewhere for a drink, or whatever. One other thing comes to mind. If you take him upstairs there is no television for him to turn on and most likely he doesn't have his mobile phone with him either. That alone can make the upstairs option very attractive. Quote
Guest Astrrro Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 500 to 1000 baht would be appropriate. Seems on the high side to me as in another upstairs venue 200 baht is the going price for cum shots. Quote

It used to be embarrassing in the upper lounge when voyeurs(farang without a Thai guy) would leer at the customers engaged with their favorite boy. Now, that the 150 Baht fee is in effect, perhaps this will keep the cheap creeps down below. A 200 Baht tip would be too low for most of what transpires in the upper lounge. The upper lounge is more for the high rollers, you could say. Quote

I don't know, but some of you guys sure seem to embarrass easily. If some schmuck really wants to leer at me messing around with one of the bar boys, let him. He's the one who ought to be embarrassed, not me. I'll ask him if he wants to buy a ticket or at least give me a tip for the show. Maybe that will offset the 150 baht fee. For me, if I'm up there "engaged" with a young gentleman, that's who I'm paying attention to. I guarantee I'm not paying attention to whoever might be looking, unless 'me mum' walks in . . . Quote
Guest RichLB Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 What's the deal at Happy Boys now. The last time I was there the upstairs layout was composed of several seating areas discreetly shielded from the view of others in the room by geometry. Just yesterday a friend told me they had now changed that to provide private rooms (cubicles?). So, which is it - like it used to be or is my friend correct? Quote
