I saw that the bar on the corner, further inside, has shirtless muscular guys that are more my type and the bar name is cruise club.

 

just for information for readers right across the soi from Cruise Club is new, quite basic but still comfortable hotel called 

The Corner. Seems to be economy subdivision of Royal Paradise hotel as their towels had Royal's signature.

Though I didn't contribute to that, all the sex with gorgeous guys was on bed or floor!

I saw one bar that has muscular russians guys on their rooster, similar to the one in pattaya.

Can these muscular Russian guys be offed?

When you say similar to the one in Pattaya - which one are you referring to ?

Great for quickly cleaning these items.

when one takes an alcohol internally need for cleaning all those items in the room dissipates rapidly as we build up our immunity to germs ever more rapidly. At least it's what I think and find gin particularly helpful. Never drink your gin straight, it's best diluted 50/50 with also gin

Not sure about phuket one, but pattaya one doesnt specify an off. They do have a menu of services provided, but it is way too expensive, so i didnt try. I see mack already answer your second question.

Sounds interesting!

Final day - After breakfast, we returned the bike and walk back to our hotel to check out. We took bolt to the airport and arrived at DMK around 3.30 pm. Take a taxi to Hilton Sukhumvit for our last night of the trip. For the price i paid, its definitely a splurge but u get what u paid for. Nice location, close to bts phrom pong, great service, wonderful selection at their breakfast buffet. While location is further away from action, it is close to jey spa, and taxi ride to and from silom is still cheap. 

Since my guy has never been to bangkok before, I treat him a visit to Mahanakhon. Bought the ticket online while waiting for our flight at the airport, and given a time slot 5pm for the sunset. We stay there until its a bit dark before making our way to icon siam for dinner at their street food place ground floor. Afterward, we went back to our hotel to put our stuff and clean up before heading out for bar visit. 

While at our hotel, my jupiter guy message me asking about my phuket trip. I told him it was great and im already in bkk. He asked if we can meet tonight. I told him a friend is sleeping with me tonight but Ill go to his bar tonight as it is my last night tonight. 

Anyway his message makes me think of a possibility of 3some. Its not what i prefer so it is more of me trying to see if my guy is open to it, without ever trying to make it happen. I first asked my guy if he had done 3some before. And he said yes, with some of his fellow MB, servicing one client. I asked further if he will be ok if we take a guy for 3some tonight, and he said he is open but i notice some uneasiness in his voice. I try to find out and he finally said he will only service me and wont do anything with the other guy. 

I think he is the shy type and prefer 1 on 1 session but willing to do 3some only if the client wants, but he wont do anything else with the other guy. Anyway, im my mind, Im not going to pursue this anyway, just thought its the perfect time to pre-emp him on this possibility especially if my jupiter guy has no off tonight. At least i know his boundary out of this conversation. 

We went to the bar and arrived slightly closer to 11pm, and the show was already on going. We were seated at the bar stool seats with good view of the stage. And there i saw my jupiter guy, already sitting with customer in the front seat to the left of the stage. I told my guy who is my jupiter guy and he agreed that he is good looking.

We stay until the show ended, and i saw the customer is offing my jupiter guy. I feel a bit of relief, no need to worry about 3some anymore hehe. I managed to says hi to my Jupiter guy discreetly just before he went out and slip him a tip. We then return to our hotel for one last night before heading back home. 

On our last day, managed to get late check out 1pm FOC, and we then head to Prime for our last leg, neck and shoulder massage before heading to airport for our departure.

Some afterthoughts

- Travelling during low season has its advantages and disadvantages but to me, the positive outweigh the negative by a mile. Yes, its rainy season, some boys might not be around, but so do customers, hence available boys are eager to please. The only time i had to change plan due to rain is during our unplanned extended visit to Beef club.

In Phuket, its a good idea to be flexible and choose the day you will do your boat trip wisely. Im lucky enough to have very minor rain during our lunch, but no rain at all the rest of the trip. It was light drizzling during my first full day there, but no umbrella needed and it was raining on my way to airport on our last day in phuket.

While in bangkok, low season is quite visible during weekdays, the weekends are still considerably pack. In Phuket however, its crowded with tourists, mainly from western countries. 

Another plus point, no need to wait/queue or book ahead for popular place like prime massage, beef club or sauna mania. I suppose this also extends to places like DJ station, GOD etc but i havent visited these place to confirm.

- Taking another guy from outside thailand for a trip to Thailand has been quite smooth sailing for me. No issue for him to leave Indonesia, transit in Malaysia and entering Thailand. I have prepared him with flight tickets, hotel bookings, as well as some cash for him to show if the immigration ever asked (they never did). There is another reason why i take him for this trip, his birthday is coming up, hence the trip. Although, when he is about to leave thailand, since his flight is to Malaysia, he was asked to show his outgoing flight out of Malaysia during check in. 

- This trip, Ive met 2 repeat guys (Moonlight J, The one T, from previous trip, 3 new guys (Maha N, Jupiter guy, and Prestige guy) 1 multiple off (Jupiter guy - 2 off) 1 onsen visit (Yunomori), 1 social bar visit (Beef), 4 Prime massages. 

I havent visited arena, vck, jey spa, good boys and fresh boys this trip.

I think so - the last time that I returned from Koh Larn in the early evening it looked to be still operational.

Their Instagram page seems to be up-to-date

You can visit in December!

One last comment. Taxi and grab prices in phuket is prohibitive to say the least. One way taxi ride from airport to Bangtao hotel is 700 Baht, while my bolt charge on our way back is half that. There is an airport bus u can take for 100 baht that take you through most tourist spot but as usual, if your hotel is not near their path or bus stop, you will need to walk a bit or take a bolt. Still cheaper than using the taxi. 

Ive asked about private driver with car services as well and was quoted 2.5k per 8 hour. Not a bad option if you plan to explore the main island. Hiring a bike still is the best and cheapest way to explore the island but it isnt the most comfortable and weather might not be permitting too.

Spoon, thanks very much for your reports. 

I noticed that there was a 400 baht entrance fee to Beef. Does that include a drink?  I wanted to go there, but didn't want to go alone.

I agree with your comment about the advantages of off-season. Do hotel prices tend to be much higher and more likely to be booked out during high-season?

Last July-August the weather was great, but I got soaked a couple of times this year.

Is the entrance fee to Beef during weekend when they have shows/guests invited? There is no fee when i entered during the weekday when its raining, so im not sure if that 400 fee includes drinks. I sure hope so. 

Popular hotels does tend to booked out during high season even with higher prices.

Weather can be unpredictable which is why an umbrella can be a time saving at times. Be more flexible with your plans and u should be fine.

Sounds like an interesting place. Even if the guys can't be offed it can still be fun to start the night with a poledance strip show of hot muscled guys... We could go check it out @bkkmfj2648 when I come to Pattaya!
