And when lucky, sometimes even twice a year. I always start and end my journey in Bangkok. But every time I try to explore a new area/country also. I usually stay around one month in Asia. For this year, I have planned to first fly to Bangkok for some nights of barhopping and meeting boys. Then off to Pattaya for a week beach- and relax-time. After that I will go to China for the first time, visiting some highlights and sight-seeing. Just before returning to Europe I will conclude with some more nights in Bangkok... Any other forum members around on these dates? Bangkok: October 14 - October 18 Pattaya: October 18 - October 24 Bangkok: November 13 - November 17 Of course I will keep you posted via this topic/thread about my adventures when I arrive in the Land of Smiles... Catching up with this forum now, reading about what has changed and what's the current situation in the (gogo)bars, massage parlours, etc. I hope to be there 14 to 17th! emiel1981 1 Quote
Popular Post emiel1981 Posted October 14 Author Popular Post Posted October 14 TRIP REPORT DAY 1 Finally... Today in arrived in Bangkok. It was the first time my flight was at a gate at the remote airport terminal. So I had to take the train to the main terminal. As we all know: quite some walking required at BKK to finally get to passport control. I didn't bother to look for a priority lane for business class passengers as many desks in the "normal" area were open with just two or three people in front of each desk. So entering the kingdom went very smoothly. No landing card anymore to fill in. Just give them your passport and boarding card. While waiting for my baggage I took enough bahts from the atm to cover a few days and bought a Thai simcard. I went to the public taxi bays. No cues. And before I knew it I was in the taxi on my way to Silom. I arrived at my hotel around 2pm. Room in Ibis Styles Silom was already available. Check in could be a bit more time efficient in this hotel. I was tired after my long flights. So I decided to have a nap after I first stocked up in the 7eleven around the corner. Couldn't resist to open Grindr. My non-representative research conslusion: many freelancers on Grindr ask 3000baht for st but almost all of them are willing to come visit you in your hotel room for 2000. Not much negotiation skills needed for them to drop the price. FRESHBOYS After a good sleep it was time to go out for my first night in Bangkok since more than a year. Excited to see what has changed and what has stayed the same. After a quick Thai bite at Pride in soi4 I walked to Patpong soi 2. Last times I was in Bangkok I had good experiences in Freshboys (my taste of boys plus nice show, the ladyboy they had was good and even had a fire act) so I decided that was going to be my first stop of the night. Convenient sign outside with showtimes. I watched the first show full, and part of the second show. The timings were correct, but the kind of acts the perform is not completely as how they advertise it on the board outside. The ladyboy performing tonight was not the same as before, was oké but not so good. Rest of show was what you expect as a veteran and can be a bit boring when you've seen all many times before. Around 25 boys on rotation. Bare chested, only wearing white sportshorts. Mix between skinnier twins to guys with abs and light muscled bodies. The last categorie is the kind of guys I like. Unfortunately most of this type of boys in the bars are top, while I'm looking for bottoms. A not (very) pushy papasan helped me out by writing down numbers of many of the bottoms or "can do all"-types. Unfortunately the 3 favorites I had were not on his list. More thorough research concluded in that one of my favorites actually would be able to bottom. Happy me. But I was not ready for my pick of the day yet. It was still too early and had other places to check. So I politely promised I will be back another night and took the paper with all the numbers papasan wrote down with me. Convenient to take with me next time I go to freshboys. Hopefully same boys keep same number though. THE ONE / TAWAN It was around 23h24 when I arrived at The One. I remembered they always had a midnight show so I planned to go there to check it out. But... I didn't even get inside as the friendly guys outside told me show was already over. Only at 22h45 the have a show apparently now. Maybe this is different in weekends, as it is Monday now with less customers. Have to get back to The One on an earlier evening. HOTMALE Back to Patpong soi 2 I went. Decided to check out Hotmale. They had some upgrades. New logo that is on some of the outside signs and even on the glassware inside. Also inside some small changes, mainly new led-lightning on the wall. The just-after-midnight-show was about to start according to the papasan. I double checked as I could only see 2 other customers inside. But the secured me the show was going to start anyway. The 22h30 show is more busy normally according to staff. Around 15 boys on rotation. Red long (!?) sporttrousers and while most of the boys where bare chested, some did wear a hotmale shirt. I directly spotted a familiar face between them. One of my offs the last time I was in Bangkok. He was smiling naughty at me. I instantly knew: this boy is coming home with me tonight. Nice 6 pack, cute smile. And I remember some good advise from this forum : always go for boys that make eye contact with you so they are "interested" and more likely to "give better quality of service". During the show no new customers arrived. So the boys ended up doing it for only me and 2 other customers. Felt a bit embarrassing actually. My boy was in the show. He was doing a dance act and is part of the big cock parade. So I made sure I "reserved" him to come sit with me after the show. During the show more naughty looks to eachother were exchanged. Apparently it was bit clear to all other boys that I already made my decision as two others kept fighting desperate for my attention (and money). Talking about money: price for entrance plus drink in Hot ale went up to 500baht. Off-fee (500) and tip for boy (2000 for st) still the same. A good first night in Bangkok! spoon, daydreamer, splinter1949 and 14 others 17 Quote

Welcome home and thank you for great report. Smart move on your part to secure boy as soon as you decided on one. Assholes like me are known to come and motion boy they came to pick up right away leaving undecided in the dust. It was in Hot Male when I had boy sitting with me and two young girls were looking at my boy longingly to a degree that I took pity and told my boy that if he wants to go with those girls he can and I will pick him up next day but he decided to soldier on with known quality i.e me emiel1981, 10tazione and Verchiele 1 2 Quote

Kiwi306 Posted October 16 Posted October 16 Thaiophilus, do they still stand to attention for the national anthem? Back in the day I would go to the outdoor gym at Lumpini Park and I remember the music coming over the loudspeakers. All the bodybuilders stopped doing their weights and respectfully stood to attention. I was in Bangkok a few weeks ago and went to the park in the early evening, and, tbh, I can't recall hearing the music being played. I think the shine for the royal family is fading somewhat. floridarob 1 Quote
Popular Post emiel1981 Posted October 16 Author Popular Post Posted October 16 TRIP REPORT DAY 2 THE ONE / TAWAN I went to The One just before their 22h45 was about to start. When I came in around 8 customers were having their drink and about 12 boys where on duty. I hate to say that I didn't feel the welcoming atmosphere that it used to have. The boys were even more on their phones than before. Almost the only moments somebody would have some attention for you was when they went around for tips for the different show acts. The type of guys on rotation where a mix from twink (yes, in the former Tawan... 2 or 3 twinks on duty) to older guys that have had their best days. And not much in between. On a positive note; no ladyboys in the show tonight. I did like the act with two guys in tight wrestle singlets. Would have loved to touch them in that lycra, but they didn't come around the customers for tips. All customers left very soon after show was finished. I had to rush my drink to get to leave also, as I was the only customer left and it felt a bit awkward. Maybe it was a bad night, maybe it is true that the former Tawan lost its charm. DREAMBOY Time to check out Dreamboy. Back in soi twilight this was the first gogo-bar I ever visited and it was my favorite for a long time. Who remembers the live fucking show there, while the guys where doing acrobatic moves on stage... Good old times. I was just in time for their 2nd show of the night. Can't remember how many guys were on rotation but I think it was about 25 till 30. But many of them a bit on the "bulkier" side. My type (a little bit muscle, not too much) not much available. During the coyoto dance act their was one guy really giving it all and dancing so much more active than the others. According to papasan he was "a good bottom too" besides a good dancer. And he was going to make sure the boy would come sit with me after the show. But apparently another customer already has eyes on him, because after show papasan came to say sorry that "my boy" was already sitting with other customer for drink. Not much later boy came anyway to me, because other customer only wanted drink and chat. Sometimes it pays off to wait a bit. Off fee for bar 550 baht, tip for boy st 3000. DJ STATION / GOD My dancer boy and I decided to check out the clubs together. First to DJ station. We danced, drink and looked at some hot guys. Must say he has good taste when it comes to which boys he liked. I also like watching the guys do their dance routine on the K-pop area. Fun to see how they learned the dances to all these songs. It was not too busy, but what to expect from a school night. Was still nice be there again. At 2:30am we decided to have a drink at GOD. Probably I'm the last one to find out, but till now I didn't know it's from the same owners as Dreamboy. The guys in GOD seemed to be a bit more under the influence of alcohol (or something else) than in DJ station. Many shorts came off and a lot of slutty dancing. Lol After two more drinks it was time to take my dancer boy back to my hotelroom. Where we had a very satisfying rendezvous. The naughty boy proposed to do a threeesome next time...

Haven't been in the right place at the right time since 2020, so I don't know. Regarding your last sentence, that's an interesting point, but the tune they play daily in Lumpini Park and elsewhere is the national anthem, which is highly nationalistic but doesn't refer to royalty at all. (Not surprising, as it was adopted in 1932 when the absolute monarchy was abolished.) To hear the royal anthem you need to go to the cinema. vinapu and Kiwi306 2 Quote

My last visit two month ago was not lacking an attention lavished on me but it was annoying as it was about asking for tips , drinks or money to go to 7/11 and buy some snacks. None of the boys sitting with me even pretended to make some suggestive moves like in days of old, perhaps because they all knew me and decided it's not necessary ? Twinks are not exactly new there and they appeared after covid, first was masseur who was sitting barechested on motorbike outside , then few more appeared as nice attempt at diversification. One of then I offed earlier this year and it was total load of fun. Unfortunately he learned his lesson way too fast and last time he sternly informed me that he is short time only, 2 hrs max and asked for tip worth superhunks from Moonlight or Jupiter so I did not entertain that option , taking another twink who looked nice but was poorly trained in what customer satisfaction is and did not make any attempts i.e. was perfect sand bag. At least did not cut me on time. Another unwelcomed novelty is mamasan inserting himself uninvited to discussion about off and tips. In short my heart , like yours, is bleeding thinking about dangerous slope Tawan seem to be Quote

Or even a dinner at Mango Tree. Quote
