I know, I don't like this side of me either , sigh

One great thing about "repeat offs" is that they eliminate much of the guesswork, allowing you to focus purely on enjoying the moment. Though, I must admit, not every repeat is a hit; some just don't sparkle as much the second time around.

Since it was still fairly early, 7 and I headed to Starbucks Montien for a bit of relaxation and chit-chat. Bad move. After snapping a pic of his drink for social media, he seemed... bored. Apparently, there aren't many Surawong people-watching enthusiasts like me!

As much as I wanted to unbox and appreciate this fine specimen, I wasn't quite ready to return to the hotel. So, I asked where he’d like to go. Unsurprisingly, his response was the classic, "up to you."

Determined to stir things up, I pressed further. "If I were a friend, where would you take me for a fun night?" He got the hint, hailed a taxi, and we ended up at some random bar outside Silom. I can't recall the name, but thank heavens it wasn't an EDM club. The live band played a mix of Thai and English songs, and the vibe was delightfully chill. I genuinely enjoyed myself, and from his smile, I'd say he did too.

Afterward, we were starving. We glanced around but nothing caught our eye, so we opted for a delivery via app on our taxi ride back. While waiting in the lobby for our food, he took more selfies—this guy loves the camera.

Dinner was peaceful back in the room. He watched TV, while I simply lay there, admiring his beauty. An innocent shower together followed, and we settled in for a good night's sleep. (Okay, kidding. Horizontal calisthenics were obviously part of the deal.)

The next morning, around 11am, he left, suggesting we hit another bar later. Tempting, but my trip was nearing its end.

In the afternoon, I treated myself to a scrub and massage combo with Tongtong at SSENSE. Normally, I prefer more "legit" spas for scrubs, but after my first session with Tongtong three trips ago, it's now a must-do. Not only does he do a fantastic job, but he's easy on the eyes too. He's a bit reserved, but after four sessions, he's loosened up a bit.

The rest of the afternoon was spent finishing up my shopping and packing my haul. By the time I was done, I was exhausted but determined not to let the night slip away.

Playing it safe, I messaged Nine from Banana, who was more than happy to meet for a late 11pm dinner. I got a bit nervous when he mentioned he was still with a client, so I gave him 15 minutes before I’d move on to Plan B. Just as I was about to bail, in he walked, all smiles.

Can you describe where exactly outside Silom is this bar? I love listening to Thai music but the live bands in the bars in Silom area don't play Thai music.

Somewhere around Sukhumvit/Nana Area. I vaguely remember panicking a bit that 7 might be taking me to a girly gogo bar! 😂

[CallMeLee]

This was my second time with Nine on this trip, and my fourth overall. The experience was just as enjoyable as ever, though some of his stories and banter were starting to get a bit repetitive—like how he used to work in construction in Bangkok before switching to being a bar boy because it’s more fun and pays better. It can get a little monotonous, but the image of him as a construction worker always gives me a little thrill. Such a fantasy!

When we arrived at the hotel, everything fell into place like clockwork. Nine put our 7-11 haul in the fridge while I started microwaving the snacks we bought. He even washed the cups and cutlery I’d been too lazy to clean before I left, which left me feeling a bit embarrassed but also giggling inside at how domesticated we seemed—like a couple.

We had a lively conversation over drinks and snacks. When we eventually ran out of topics, Nine suggested we head to the shower, which I definitely didn’t decline. I took my time, savoring the moment and appreciating the fine-looking gentleman with me. It’s a shame the room didn’t have a bathtub!

We continued our session on the bed, and afterward, we spent the rest of the night and early morning with him watching random stuff on his phone while I cuddled up next to him. Normally, I get annoyed when guys are glued to their phones during downtime, but this time it didn’t bother me at all. I enjoyed relaxing while he had his space, taking thoughtful breaks every now and then to smile and give me a quick kiss. I couldn’t complain.

Nine left after breakfast, marking the start of my last full day before heading home. I’m playing it cool today, feeling quite satisfied with the “boy buffet” Bangkok has offered me this time around.

I made a mental note to skip the bars and just choose between 7 or Nine for my final hurrah.

With most of my stuff already packed and my shopping list completed (a rare feat!), I had a full afternoon and evening to enjoy.

For my last boy massage of the trip, I headed to Prince Spa around 4 p.m. It wasn’t busy—there was a reasonable number of boys available, and the Papasan said more were on the way. I wasn’t complaining, though, because the current roster was already making it hard to choose. That’s when I spotted Boat, the guy I’d chosen last time and had a great time with. I wasn’t in the mood for risks, so I made the safe choice.

 

“Nice to see you again,” Boat said as he led me to the room. One thing to note: the massage area is so dark, with only LED candles lighting the way. I’m always a little panicked, thinking I’ll bump into a wall while navigating the place.

As expected, Boat didn’t disappoint. The intensity and passion he brought to the session surprised me, and I found myself reciprocating more than usual. Being at the end of my trip, my energy level was low, but his enthusiasm was contagious, and I felt my energy rise.

I left feeling satisfied and made sure my tip reflected that. As I walked back to the hotel, I felt like I was floating from the amazing session.

 

Last part to be continued.....

[CallMeLee]

I'm so happy to be able to complete this trip report (albeit the delay) as promised!

-------------------

Come evening, I decided to try my luck with a two-hour session at Prime Massage. Fortunately, I only had to wait about 10 minutes. They directed me to their other location, just a few steps away. This time, I was greeted by a particularly cute masseur. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, I took a cold shower beforehand—I had every intention of not getting myself banned from such a good massage spot. Lol.

Dinner followed at Foodland, and that’s when I realized I haven’t visited Jupiter yet. Now, it’s not that I’m a fan of their boys sporting their 'constipated model' looks, but I always make it a point to spread the love by visiting each bar at least once during my trips.

After dinner and some people-watching at my usual Starbucks (Montien), I made my way toward Jupiter, reminding myself that I have to choose between and invite either 7 or Nine afterwards.

When I arrived, the show was just starting, and the models were parading around. To my utter surprise, I counted four or five of them actually making eye contact and giving me proper, engaging smiles. While some stuck to the 'constipated model' brief, these five melted my heart. I almost orgasmed on the spot! Lucky for me, three out of the five were "offable" by my standards.

The show kicked off with an adorable guy singing Ed Sheeran and some R&B covers. I found him utterly charming, though not in a sexual, offable way. I called over a waiter and asked him to deliver my tip. Cutie singer smiled and waved, and I waved back. After his set, as he was leaving, he passed by, shook my hand, and flashed that cute smile again.

I absentmindedly watched the rest of the show. By now, the place was packed, and the mamasans weren't pushing too hard to sell time with the boys—there wasn't even space to sit! Once the show ended and the crowd thinned out, the boys returned with their numbers pinned on, working the stage.

I spotted two of my earlier smiling guys, still available, so I wasted no time summoning the first one to make eye contact again. His name is Sun. As his drink arrived, we started chatting, covering the usual questions. A mamasan tried to be "helpful" but with my experience at Screwboys, I politely smiled and said, “Thanks, but I’ve got it. Not my first time.” He promptly vanished and moved on to another table.

With the vibe check going well, and all details sorted (time commitment, expectations, and finances), Sun and I left the club, grabbed some snacks from 7-11, and headed back to my hotel.

The night—and the following morning—were great. We had a good laugh when he climaxed, unloading buckets. He shyly explained he hadn't been offed in a week, so it had been building up. As we lay cuddled together, I couldn't help but reflect on the unexpected turn of events. Here I was, cuddling with a Jupiter boy! Quite the change from my original plan. And a first since ages ago! The last time I offed someone from Jupiter was when they were at their old location.

Maybe the universe had a different plan for me for my last nit. Perhaps I need to open my mind a bit more about Jupiter on my next trip!

Fantastic 😍

Little factoids like these are very helpful. The bars are incentivised to make money from selling drinks to people who primarily come in to watch the show. The boys however may be the ones paying the price. The offing customer may be marginalised because of several consequences of the showbar effect (no seats left, too many women), and so the rate at which boys are offed may be lower than it could be.

To make up, boys (and mamasans) may be pushing for higher compensation whenever they get off'd.

Congratulations

Smiling Jupiter boy and long time on top of it, that's something ! Hope he did not help you to break the bank.

Macaroni is spot on , boys at both soi 4 bars have  limited opportunity to promote themselves as here's either show and/ or in case of Jupiter , singing with boys hidden in the corner

I had to take out a small loan from the nearby Kasikorn Bank to afford him, but did I mention he was smiling!? Lol.

Kidding aside, it was a few hundred baht more—nay, a thousand—than usual. But with the planets aligned and it being my last night, it would've been a shame not to celebrate such a rare occurrence.

Agree. I think to some extent, fresh boys got the mix correct with boy performance and showcase neatly interspersed in between drag/lady boy numbers.

I have to mention Hotmale as well but their boys do 100% of performance. Not that I'm complaining!

I love the way you describe the Jupiter guys - and I agree totally.

BUT, when I was @vinapu in August at Jupiter - we had the privilege to sit upstairs where most of the guys did not keep the 'constipated model' look - until they would descend the stairs onto the stage for Showtime - where constipation is required.

Highlights, Lowlights, Rants, Raves and Reflections

✓Tawan – Still Finding Its Footing

As much as it pains me, Tawan was a lowlight this time around. There are glimmers of the old charm I loved, but they seem to be struggling post-closure. Fingers crossed this is just a transitional phase!

 

✓Prince & SSENSE

Reliable as ever. No complaints here—just solid, dependable fun.

✓Arena

I’ve rekindled my love for Arena and found myself visiting more frequently than usual. Maybe it’s to compensate for the Tawan disappointment? Either way, it’s a win.

✓Good Boys 

Good Boys is becoming a personal favorite. If the rumors are true and they’re moving to Sol bar’s old space, that’s exciting! Their current roster deserves more room to shine.

✓Banana 

Banana is stepping up in showmanship, but they need more variety in their boy lineup. And please, can we have more frequent visibility? Performances can drag on while the boys disappear into the ether.

✓Jupiter – Surprise of the Trip

Jupiter was a pleasant surprise! Maybe it’s a fluke or the low-season magic, but it really stood out this time.

✓Moonlight – Still zero offs from me

Still haven’t offed anyone from Moonlight. Can’t put my finger on it, but the vibe just isn’t doing it for me. Maybe a dash of sleaze would help? Lol.

✓Hotmale – Entertaining Yet Predictable

Hotmale is fun, but the lineup hasn’t changed much. It’s starting to feel a little too predictable. Still worth a visit.

✓Saphan Kwai Shops 

These shops are starting to claim a larger share of my trip funds—and I’m not mad about it. 

✓Dreamboys 

My last two visits unfortunately was a lackluster experience . I’m hoping they can reignite the magic soon. The stage feels empty and performance is meh at best. Are they still imposing the "Thai only" policy? 

✓Repeat Offs 

Lately, I’ve been gravitating toward reliability and consistency over variety. It’s a shift from my usual cravings for novelty.

✓Routine Setting In?

This is my third trip report, and I’m noticing a lot of my experiences while personally satisfying, are becoming routinary. In some of my visits at Arena, SSENSE, Dreamboys—there’s nothing particularly new to report, so I’ve omitted some details.

I’m considering switching up my reporting style next time—shorter, plus snappier. Don't want to bore you guys with my extended waffling about some random stuff. Lol. Let me know if this new approach will work!

 

Till next time! 😃

I need to go over and visit these places - as they are getting repetitive rave reviews and I have not yet ventured there yet.

I adore your current writing style and I never felt that they were full of "extended waffling" - I often find joy in extra words as sometimes the magic or what made a situation unique is hidden in this "extended waffling".

Not from me. There are hits and misses, no different from massage places in other parts of the city. The only difference is that, unlike duds from tonier shops, a dud in Saphan Khwai hurts the pocket less.

Glad u had great time with Jupiter guy. Able to share how much he asked for LT?

I second your opinion but fact that even if dud , hurts pocket less,  is actually a big plus for the area and worth travelling those 20 minutes from Silom ghetto

Thanks. Everything summed up to 4.7K including the tip I added the following morning.

Amount not within my usual budget range but I decided to treat myself as it was my last night. And did I mention that he smiled at me?! 😂 😍🤪

that's not bad at all considering recent trends.

While visiting earlier this year  I overheard boy there asking 5000 for short time and from I saw , he got it. Sometimes it's better to over pay and be happy with time spent than save some money and get disinterested  sandbag.

If you got his Line , next time you may even avoid drinks at bar, just call him over and promise to pay his off fee and you are set.

hmmm - maybe Rob's got a point Vinapu

I could take you to the weekly (Wednesday) Jomtien Supertown Complex BINGO night at the @Home bar and you can even win some money.

Think what you could do with that "fresh" BINGO jackpot baht cash ?
