I would like to have read what I sense was the OP’s well articulated trip report. Gave up.

The thread is somewhat like wading through incessantly inserted commercial ads on an X thread. Or sitting in a movie theatre with other attendees gabbing or flashing their bright phone screens. Let an OP breathe, perhaps, with emoticons and brief references to his content the only prompting needed?

Just a reminder that there’s life beyond the board and it’s not necessary to monopolize every dinner table.

[CallMeLee]

I woke up to find 7’s arm and leg wrapped around me like a human pretzel, and I couldn’t help but smirk at my incredible luck from the night before. The warmth of his body and the comfort of the cuddle were tempting me to stay in bed all day. But alas, the real world called—I needed caffeine, and a quick check of work emails to ensure nothing urgent was demanding my attention. Thankfully, it seemed to be a slow workday, leaving me ample room to procrastinate and savour the morning.

With my tasks temporarily sidelined, I turned my attention back to the gorgeous specimen sprawled out next to me. His cute face and tousled hair were just too adorable to ignore, so I indulged in a few moments of quiet admiration. My gaze must have been borderline obsessive because he eventually stirred, opened his eyes, and flashed me a smile. He motioned for me to come back to bed—a request so obvious, it was practically a silly not to comply.

We dozed off for another blissful hour, until the sound of him rummaging in the bathroom brought me back to reality. After sorting ourselves out, we headed downstairs for breakfast. Similyto my previous time with T, I slipped into my role as unofficial photographer, snapping a picture of him with his buffet selections, which were, by the way, quite impressive. 

Back in the room, we settled into a relaxed morning, both of us engrossed in our own devices. I had my head comfortably resting on his lap. Around 11, he mentioned he needed to get going and asked what my plans were for the day. When I mentioned a trip to Platinum Mall, he asked if he could tag along. At first, I hesitated, thinking of the inevitable shopping spree, but then I figured—why not? A little extra retail therapy never hurt anyone, especially with charming company.

After snagging two shirts for 150 baht each (it was a surprise on my part), it was time for our goodbyes. He asked me to send him a message later, and with that, we parted ways.

Returning to my hotel, I realised I wasn't in the mood for my usual afternoon or early evening massage escapade. Honestly, two rounds with 7 had left me physically drained, in the best and most exhausting way possible. The guy could also kiss like it was an Olympic sport, and I was definitely still feeling the aftershocks.

Instead of diving into another naughty massage session, I decided to change things up and headed over to Prime Massage. Perhaps it was the low season or just plain good luck, but I only had to wait 10 minutes for my 1.5-hour appointment. The massage was just what I needed—I walked out feeling like a new person, rejuvenated and ready to take on the night.

I spent a few minutes at Starbucks, enjoying the people-watching scene while mentally mapping out my evening plans. When the time was ripe, I found myself heading towards Fresh Boys, ready to see what the night had in store.

The place was packed to the rafters—so crowded that customers were practically sitting next to each other, leaving little to no room for the guys to join us from the stage. Clearly, this level of business amidst the low season got something to do with the sleaze and raunchiness of their show both in amount and intensity. Compared to other venues like Moonlight, which was more on the vanilla side (not that there’s anything wrong with that!), Fresh Boys didn’t hold back.

When the show ended, the crowd thinned out, leaving a more manageable number of us behind. I quickly caught the eye of a cute guy and motioned for him to sit next to me. We started chatting, building that all-important rapport, and just when things were getting interesting and building towards an off, one of the mamasans decided to butt in.

He tried to fast-track the negotiation, throwing out prices for a short time without even letting us finish our conversation. Must be my mistake that I mentioned I'm looking for long time as the mamasan suddenly huffed and puffed and kept pushing, insisting that nobody does long time anymore. My guy looked annoyed, and so was I, so I decided to pull the plug on the whole thing. I handed my guy a pink bill as a gesture of goodwill and said I wasn’t interested after all.

Then, in a move that left me almost speechless, the mamasan had the audacity to stick out his hand and ask for a "tip for mama". I stared at him in disbelief before flatly saying, “No,” and turned back to my drink.

After the mamasan finally left, the guy apologised, calling him crazy. I felt for him, so I handed him another pink bill, settled my tab, and made my exit.

Not wanting to let this little fiasco ruin my night, I sent a message to my African guy as I walked back to the hotel. Luck was on my side—he was available, and we agreed to meet up. 

So, in the end, it wasn’t a wasted night at all!

Mamasan had his agenda and it appears to be aimed at getting the boy back to the bar for last show. The excuse "nobody does long time anymore" is a new one in my experience. You definitely made right move when he asked for tip.

Agreed that you could just keep the LT part away from mamasan. All she needs to know is whether you are offing the boy or not. 

I usually just send the mamasan away saying come back later, or i want to watch show first, if im still undecided.

That's the beauty of the forum. Neither you nor as a matter of fact anybody else, gets to read what one likes, instead we get to read ( or not) of what is contributed including some posts we would be hard pressed to consider them entertaining. 

I agree about high quality of report but as always high quality prose invites whole array of responses, and comments. 

Count your blessings and stop complaining.

I'm proud of you. This is how those pushy requests, be it Mamasan for tips or boy requesting extraorbitant tip for 1 HR  session should be handled. Instead of trying to be polite and diplomatic simple " no" works the best.

Exactly. Science is supported my my recent experience with 4 overnighters chalked off already, 3 of them well above average.

+1

I tell them " I like the girls" even if my arm is wrapped around the boy or, perish the thought, placed strategically weeeeell above the knee. 

Two days ago in Moonlight I witnessed Mamasan bringing boy uninvited to my friend sitting beside me, awkward moment for both boy and customer.

Yes - I think I was absentmindedly engaging with the mamasan and the information just spilled out.

Looking back though, with almost all bars I went to, (Good Boy, Dreamboys, Hotmale, Banana) the mamasan is so active and vocal selling the LT experience. First time indeed I came across such refusal from mamasan as if he's the one I'm taking home with me 😂

Sorry to hear that.  I hope things improve, and that you get some excellent  new stamps.

[Verchiele]

Based on the above, is it safe to say that its possible to remove Mamasan or Papasan from picture?

e.g. just wave at the boy, get him off, pay the bar fine (?) and walk off the premise.

also, assuming that they can get off after the last show over or can sometimes they leave earlier. i dont know how much energy in the wee hours.

1. Yes, totally possible. However in my case, mamasan still invited herself and joined our conversation. 

To be fair, there are Mamasans in Good boy, Hotmale and Banana that I have built good rapport with and more importantly, they know when to engage and when to remove themselves in the equation.

2. Maybe younger ones have the stamina to get back to the stage after an early off. I just can't imagine the logistics behind that. I mean, it was totally possible during the era when shows starts 8pm.

Tell the bothersome mamasan that you "want to talk to my friend two people" ..and don't take no for an answer. Shift your seat, or his, if you have to. Don't let them push you around.....

This is what I do. Wave boy to seat beside, discuss what needs to be discussed with him , order drink for him or not and try to limit mamasans involvement to collecting off fee only.

You can off themat any time but those who participate in the show may be restricted to going only after their number in the show but this is relatively rare

[CallMeLee]

I woke up feeling surprisingly energized after my solitary sleep. Last night’s kerfuffle at Fresh Boys wasn’t ideal, but the upside is that today, I’ve got a full tank of energy to make up for lost time.

After brunch, I caught the free hotel shuttle to Saladaeng and got off at Siam station for a leisurely stroll and some visual treats. When I started to feel tired, I ducked into a random coffee shop and browsed through options in Saphan Kwai. 15M’s daily LINE messages and gallery have been particularly tempting lately, so I made an inquiry and eventually chose JJ. His photos are obviously touched up, but I’m hoping for better luck in person.

I took the BTS towards Saphan Kwai, exited at number 3, and found the shop just a quick two-minute walk away. As I entered, I noticed several pairs of shoes by the stairwell, so I slipped off mine and headed upstairs.

Even from afar, I could spot JJ, and to my satisfaction, his real-life appearance actually outshined his edited photos. After paying at the counter, JJ and I headed off to our temporary love nest.

We engaged in the usual small talk—turns out he's from Myanmar. Based on my last few trips, it seems Burmese guys really do it for me. It makes me wonder: if Myanmar’s security situation improved, would it be worth a visit? Or have all the handsome guys already migrated to Thailand?

JJ’s massage skills were average, but he was clearly putting in the effort. Thankfully, he switched things up pretty quickly, as the massage wasn’t adding much value. Once things got a bit more exciting, JJ really came into his own. As a "straight" top, he clearly knew what he was doing—unlike others who just go through the motions, often leading to discomfort or no pleasure at all.

He offered to climax for an extra 1000, but I politely declined. We continued, taking turns pleasuring each other. At one point, he muttered something in panic, and I realized he couldn’t control himself and started cumming. We both laughed it off, and I threw in a little extra on top of his mandatory tip. That moment replayed in my head on the train ride back to the hotel, leaving me feeling somewhat triumphant and amused.

Later that evening, my wanderings led me to Banana Bar. By the time I arrived, the show was already in full swing and the boys are somewhere unseen, so I asked the mamasan if Nine was available (another handsome Burmese guy I offed on my last trip—he’s the one with the gun tattoo on his torso).

A few minutes later, Nine appeared, and we exchanged the usual pleasantries while watching the performance. This is where Banana Bar excels—the show is so captivating, though it does tend to overshadow the boys.

Nine and I cuddled up while watching, with him sneaking in quick pecks now and then. He was clearly trying to secure an off and I let him play his game, knowing full well I’d be taking him with me anyway.

After a while, he asked if I wanted him to come along with me. When I asked for what, he flashed a mischievous smile and said, “for happy happy.” Something about that sexy grin made me realize the show was no longer my main focus, and soon enough, Nine and I were heading back to my hotel.

@CallMeLee - wow compliments - excellent story writing.

JJ is so my type.

Next trip to BKK I need to look him up and maybe bring him over to Pattaya for a couple of days 😜

[neil]

I am going to BKK in Oct.  I should look for JJ.

[CallMeLee]

What’s great about Nine—and why he’s on my repeat-off list—is that he’s got this whole “straight buddy who’s unusually generous with his body” vibe going. Sure, his English is patchy, but he’s so friendly language barrier hardly matters and you almost forget you’re dealing with a bar boy. The whole experience is like hanging out with a mate where things eventually escalated to something sexy (now that is the fantasy!)

So there I was, waking up wrapped around this absolute specimen, feeling like I’d won the lottery. Honestly, moments like these are what remind me why I fly all the way to Thailand. All the planning, the flights, the hassle—it all melts away when you wake up to that.

After a morning session that nearly made us miss the hotel breakfast, Nine took off—but not before dropping the golden nugget that I could message him directly next time. No need to schlep into the bar—though, of course, I’d still need to pay the off fee. This was music to my ears because by this point in my trip, the bar scene had gone from fun to monotonous and predictable. Skipping the cover fee, the boy drinks, and the tips? Yes, please. And hey, the bar still gets its off fee, so it’s a win-win.

Looking for some new inspiration, I scoured the forum and landed on Ganymede Spa. One glowing review from TotallyOz of  a certain masseur had me sold, so I made contact.

I sent a photo of the guy I was after, and the spa confirmed: Mr. Tony is available and ready.

Thinking I was being clever, I grabbed a cheap taxi during off-peak hours. Big mistake. I entered the spa’s location—Pathumwan Resort—into the app, and it led us straight to a random empty lot one block away. Google Maps? Equally useless.

My driver was all apologies, pointing frantically at the map, and I decided to just walk it. Asking him to reroute would’ve felt like wandering into a black hole of wasted time.

Once I was inside the so-called “resort” (jury’s still out on why they call it that), I had a bit of trouble finding the spa. Turns out, the signage is barely there, and my internal GPS? Not exactly a feature.

Tony was already waiting as I chatted with the staff about the packages. The one-hour standard was 700 baht, and they tried to upsell me on a B2B massage for an extra 200 or 300 baht. I passed, and they still filled Tony in on what I’d chosen.

The spa was clean, but the communal bathroom was a bit of a downer. For the price, I was expecting a touch more luxury. To be fair, the bathroom did have that high-end look—marble floors and walls, very chic.

Tony’s massage was more than decent, and the extras? Well, that forum recommendation didn’t steer me wrong. Tony surprised me with a B2B massage anyway, and who am I to say no to a free upgrade? He was passionate, attentive, and hit all the right spots—literally and figuratively. Oh, and I should mention: Tony is very easy on the eyes.

After we were done, we lay there catching our breath, still locked in a pretty cozy embrace. He gestured for me to shower, which I reluctantly did—though I was in for another surprise when Tony followed me in. This wasn’t exactly a private bathroom situation, so it was unexpected but… I wasn’t mad about it. We took turns washing each other, which gave me more chances to admire his, uh, assets and sneak in a few cheeky extras.

Needless to say, I made sure Tony’s tip reflected my enthusiastic appreciation for all the pleasant surprises.

Feeling pretty pleased with myself, I took a leisurely stroll over to Platinum Mall, just a kilometer away. That’s when I had an epiphany: “Ganymede Spa + Platinum Mall” might just be my new favorite combo, like the way “Chatuchak + Saphan Kwai shops” has always been my go-to weekend pair.

By nightfall, #7 from Good Boys shot me a Line message, asking when I’d be taking him off again. I asked what he wanted to do, and I got the classic "up to you" response. After some pressing, he admitted he was sleepy, bored, and just wanted to get out of the bar. A plan I could totally get behind. So, I rolled into Good Boys around 9 p.m.

I had a quick chat with the mamasan while lounging on the couch outside, then asked if I could off #7 on the spot. A few minutes later, out came #7 in his street clothes, grinning from ear to ear.
