Time to return

On Sunday, I took it easy, kept up with attempt on the gauzy haired former president.  There were several texts from boys who using the bar boys grapevine learned I was back in town.  

I went out on Sunday sight inspections of the ‘hood and found several new hotels and restaurants and more massage parlors than I remember from earlier visits.  I noticed a definite bias towards Japanese and Indian tourists.  Overall things looked cleaner than my most recent memory.  

As I was leaving Good Boysat 2am,  I palmed some baht to CoCo who I’d been steered away from by the Vietnamese conglomerate.  He confirmed he’d be at work by replying to my query with “Yes’ and 8:30”.   I used the day to get a 2 hour Thai / aroma oil massage at Prime.  After a nap, I headed over to soi 4 to visit with  Pao my favorite waiter anywhere in the world, we had a mutual hug fest and caught up..  Pao as the host and real time bar and restaurant manager used to supervise, Reader, PaulSF, another former Forum member, and me as PaulSF presided from a prominent table adjacent to Hot Male Bar I & 2, and across from two clubs by a massage service. Right in front of it was the yellow brick road to take the public through Twilight.  

The bewitching hour arrived and at Good Boys the mamasan called CoCo over to meet and greet, he was surrounded by an uninvited posse of Vietnamese.  My escort from last night had advised me whom to invite to join my table which consisted by himself, his bother, and CoCo.  After a few awkward moments I told the mamasan that CoCo and I’d be leaving, his clothes changed, off fee paid and we were out the door leaving several long faces behind.  Coco has developed English skills so it was easy to learn some things.  First we decided that he wasn’t one to hurry an off so he could return to the club.  We started toward Jupiter but got “grabbed” from Banana’s “pusher” in chief, who is an old old friend from Twilight days and so went into Banana where with his prodding and a wave to the host CoCo and I were given prime seats.  Not That it was difficult as the club was lacking an audience, “sparse” was the reality maybe 20%.  Half women.  The show was much the same as the one I saw in May 2023.  

While much the same as last year, the performers go full out which disperses good energy.  Drinks were 400, no cover charge.  Chatted with the manager who remembered my other visits in other venues.  He told me I had  excellent taste in men and CoCo was proof.  I suggested we head to Moonlight and CoCo agreed saying “we can go to Jupiter tomorrow”.  The hook was in and this fish was willing to be pulled in.  Guess tomorrow is booked.

At Moonlight, first drink still 500 Thai baht.  Same mamasan who was in place when it was the old Jupiter. The pre-show rotation of boys was underway and mamasan gave me background information on many of the dancers, telling me to stay with CoCo but maybe add one of Jupiter’s to the mix telling me that based my past likes..  All this while CoCo is filling in the public record on CoCo.  He’s Burmese and fled Myanmar to avoid being conscripted.  He’s 37, works a morning / day job at a market.  He knows many, many folks, one is in the  Moonlight rotation    CoCo invites him over.  I’m unable to tell if this is impress me or the friend.   Friend is Burmese, he and Coco drink and catch up with Burmese comings and goings.  Mamasan and I discuss the merits of a Laotian who is just now new to the lineup. Friend goes back to the final rotation before the show.  With his shirt now off, I can see his large variety of tattoos, repeat “large”.

Show begins and it clearly has been redone and rethought.  Babe is the best and most polished dancer and is given two spots to shine.  Nicky has more stage time and has almost learned to act and emote.  What makes it work for him and the audience is that he knows it is a form of farce and they are in on the one together. Fast paced.  One or two divas ( my mind blanks at these and I lose count.  Mamasan notices that my back is tiring from sitting on a stool close to the stage and confers with CoCo before suggesting we move to a row with backing to the seats but a prominent visual.  We move, it was a good idea, and soon many of the performers are smiling and winking at us - seems CoCois a known favorite of theirs.  The gentleman  and his companion seated next to tell me that I’m blessed” to have such a stunning lover.  I refrain from mentioning we’ve only been together maybe all of three hours.  I nod and say thanks.

This show is working, the main stars have meshed together and made a connection with the audience (about 60% of the house, a third women).  When the intros of the main performers are made and each comes out, Babe waves and smiles at CoCo and they share a mutual laugh across the room.  When the stars last bow is taken in the center of the house with a shirt strip, Babe ends up in front of us.  He’ll return when the lights some up and say hello and (if he even remembers) doesn’t mention our   encounter several years back.  My opinion based on only two shows so far - Moonlight has got its groove back.

CoCo and I walk back to Quarter Silom.  We discuss what we saw, overall opinions are similar, CoCo noting that each management sets its priorities, styles, to attract the best audience mix for its economics.  He observes that Good Boys likes a full house and fills it with boys who then compete for the patrons who will buy drinks or the boys. 

Back at the hotel, CoCo is as stunning as people have been informing me all night.  He does voice some irritation that it was apparent to him that I was interested in him and could see that the Viet ground forces has me surrounded like Dien BienPhu.  Then he notes that he was able to get a full intelligence briefing on what I liked about stamp collecting and that he could teach me some moves I might like to learn.  I LEARNED. 

 

Nicky at Moonlight is a stunner.

Nothing wrong to lose will power and off guy we like even if this runs against our religious beliefs in butterflying.

Not sure I miss Mama Lucy as much as you do but friends don't need to agree on everything.

Sleeping alone on 3rd night seems to confirm my finding that day 3 is the worst jet lag wise.

I start wondering who your star CoCo is but no, don't read me as being nosy.

I'm bit worried about your comment that there were no real 'wows ' at Jupiter . I'm not big fan of that bar but looks wise their boys used to be consistently the best, at least for those tired eyes.

Then back to my hotel to sleep alone.

The worst thing that happens...not the sleeping alone, I prefer that...but the not hooking up part. 
The per diem to travel to Thailand, or anywhere....makes me crazy to lose 1 night to doing/ being with no one. I can do that from the comfort of my own bed.

You, vinapu, nosy.? Not possible!

The details on CoCo are part of my reporting journal and are about to emerge.  He does have a Burmese name but everyone seems to know him as CoCo.  But this much now: He’s 37, from Burma, looks like a brother to the mid-level Broadway American gay actor/singer Telly Leung.  CoCo is a certified and very active and creative stamp collector.  He’s a very popular denizen of the campus, here. He worked at Jupiter for some time, thus his connection to owners, managers, bar boys, and entertainers.  I learned a few things about the fitting of the costumes at Jupiter and Moonlight.  For those that don’t need artificial enhancement, the shorts, briefs, undies etc  are tailored to enhance nature.  CoCo was/is in that category.  

I was also hoping for more from Jupiter…there were quite a few lookers, some great lookers, but no one I’d consider a stunner - someone to make me pause, look again, and then look one more time.  Lots are are at the “look again” level.

curiosity satisfied, I was hoping he may be incarnation of one Jupiter boy who disappeared into thin air but no, CoCo is not that one.

as for being nosy, sometimes I'm but not to satisfy my very low need for gossip but rather for out of thirst for good leads. Being notoriously bad reading pictures I rely more on word of mouth and what I see in flesh in 3 dimensions

 Head to Hot Male since it’s right next door.  I walk past the entrance - it was too well lit! Inside there are one mamasan and two managers and 20 boys in red trunks and maybe  Hot Male logo T-shirt.  Notice  I have not mentioned the audience numbers.  There were none!  

This seems to be the pattern lately. Some bars lively and well-patronised; other bars dead. Sometimes, the bipolar contrast is the same bar on different nights. @sydneyboy1 reported a nearly-dead The One (ex-Tawan). On another night, I saw a full house. @jason1975 saw a lively Good Boy (ex-Screw Boy). On another night, I saw zero other customers in that bar and I should have fled like @ggobkk from Hotmale. A friend just came back from Bangkok and he said Moonlight had only "fewer customers than I had fingers" during showtime, though reports here are much more encouraging than that.

mind you , he had boy with him so no need to stay.

I agree  with your comment about attendance vagaries from day to day, sometimes even from hour to hour. I witnessed that too

 Tonight one of the “Japanese Boy Brothels” will enter my experience databank.  Will report in the forum.

I can't wait for your report!

If you find anything particularly interesting, I might make the trip up there to try it out myself,
