firecat69 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Arrived in Bangkok last night so took a short visit to Soi Twilight tonight. Had dinner at the new and expanded Dick's Cafe. Tables were all full except one seat and street appeared to be very busy. My first stop was Oceans in the former site of Future Boys. The renovation is quite nice with comfortable sofas and new stage and area for Coyote Dancers. Ordered a Diet Coke and it took a ridiculous amount of time for it to come but since I really consider it as an entrance fee id din't really care. Was given a cold towel and some chips which is a nice touch. Now I know that Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder but for this beholder , the 30 or 40 boys that were rotating were some of the most unattractive boys I have ever seen in a GO Go Bar in Thailand. There was not one boy I would have offed for free. I recognize others may have a different take so take a look if you are there. Next I went to Xboys which has been my favorite for a long time. Some familiar faces and a few new ones. Some cute boys and by comparison, far more attractive then Oceans IMHO. Next X Size. Up the stairs and as I entered the Bar I saw more cute boys in 15 seconds , then I had seen all night. Now I am a face person and that is what attracts me and then look at the rest as the parade continues. There were probably 40-50 boys and at least 10 I would have taken on face alone. Unfortunately my favorites were of the straight variety and had no intention of being Bottoms. But there were others who certainly would have , but alas I was too tired to partake. I left as soon as the show started.(I hate shows) That was enough for me . I think the drinks were 240 everywhere except I only paid 200 at Oceans because the mamasan was embarrassed about how long it took to bring my change. Quote
Guest Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Thanks for the great report firecat. I am glad you ventured out your first night. I am one of the ones that loved Future Boys and considered it one of my favorites for years. It is sad it went down so fast. It seems that the few owners control all the venues. I am thrilled X Size was great and I'll have to test this on my next visit to Bangkok (which I hope to be soon). Quote
Guest Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 Thanks for the report. What's your definition of cute boys? If we have similar preference, this might be a good pointer for my forthcoming visit to Bangkok. Classic boys was my favourite, but I keep reading reports of it having changed in the last year or so.

Classic did have my type of Boys in the past. The reports have been so bad recently , I did not even waste my time stopping in. I would say many of that type were in X Size last night. But there was a wide range of types. Quote
Guest beachlover Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Had dinner at the new and expanded Dick's Cafe. Heh... I like having dinner in this soi sometimes. if you're by yourself, it makes for great people watching! Never a dull moment. Quote
Guest Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 I visited X-boys. Nice selection of guys on stage, in cute black underwear. Plagued by the pushy Mamasans. I sent one on his way & as soon as I beckoned a nice boy off the stage, with a couple of nods, another Mamasan was at my side trying to talk to me! Do we go to these bars to speak to the mamasans, or to meet nice gogo dancers? Luckily, the gogo dancer was very nice, so he got offed. Quite professional service, although quick (he went back to the bar). Tip for Mamasans 0; Tip for dancer 1500. Next night tried. Classic Boys. Quite a pleasant experience & seems to have improved since the earlier report. When I first arrived, there were about 8 dancers on the stage, only one of which was to my liking. Then, when they changed dancers, the next group had a nice selection of twinks & fem boys. I beckoned one over & sat with him for a while. He narrowly failed to get an off, as I had doubts about the lack of affection. After I tipped him & as I was leaving, he gave me a really nice hug & kiss, which would have secured him an off had he been a bit quicker off the mark. I also saw a couple of acts from the show. The first one was well worth watching. One of the guys who was definitely all male, wore some tight fitting ladies knickers & proceeded to dance very energetically with some quite effeminate body language. Hilarious. Mamasans did not pester customers. Quote
