Keithambrose Posted December 7 Posted December 7 34 minutes ago, vinapu said: indeed do it. I'm curious if bar takes cut or guy keeps it all. I was told in some bars cut is as much as 300. I still maintain that all that garland hoopla is non-sense but if one has fun , why not ? After all every night there I drink 1-3 bottles of Chang in bars at 400-500 a pop while I could have the same taste ( but not the view ) at 41 baht a pop at 7/11. ( Speaking about 7/11 and not belonging to this thread so my apologies but there is word that 7/11 returned to top of Boyztown after quite of absence. ) There's one on the beach road just down from Boyztown. 100 yards or so.

Popular Post jason1975 Posted December 8 Author Popular Post Posted December 8 Saturday last day of trip - lounging at pool after breakfast then quick trip to Centralworld for shopping then massage with favourite massage guy at soi 6. After that I met favourite waiter at Soi Complex. Had promised him a Christmas present and I took him to choose perfume. Dinner with regular guy. His birthday is next Tuesday so I took him to bakery to choose slice of cake to celebrate birthday but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to Foodland restaurant. He explained that his grandmother passed away earlier this year and as a result, he couldn't celebrate his birthday this year. Ok, I said I understand. We played our final chess game while having dinner then two forum members joined us. One of them came in just for the weekend so I asked him,"What's so special for you to come this week? Last week there was Crete model party. This week there's nothing going on." The reply was sheepish, almost embarrassed - "Today's my birthday." "What the fuck! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" I said loudly and then dragged him to bakery to choose a cake. We got candles also and went back to table to set up a loud birthday celebration. The Foodland staff sang and clapped along while bemused diners looked on at this bunch of crazy people. bkkmfj2648, BL8gPt, ichigo and 2 others 5 Quote

Like you described previously, their business model is in-house staff, rather than on-call. I think this makes a big difference in a positive way. Also, they’re good at recommendations/questions via LINE. Another example of good customer service. 10tazione and reader 2 Quote
Popular Post jason1975 Posted December 8 Author Popular Post Posted December 8 In fact, there was another birthday. Besides my regular guy and birthday forum member, next Thursday was the birthday of the regular guy of forum member who's been bringing me to Saphan Kwai. That third birthday was celebrated in a much quieter atmosphere with just a slice of cake later at night in same Foodland venue at 1am Sunday. Rewind back to 8.30pm on Saturday night. "We must make sure you have a memorable birthday!" I said as I suggested we go to Dragon and Koi bar. Many new waiters who just joined two days ago. Instead of just 5 dancers during the hourly 15-minute dancing (9pm, 10pm, 11pm, 12am, 1am), there were 8 dancers now. And it wasn't just coyote freestyle dancing. The dance moves were choreographed. "Every day we come at 5pm to practise and rehearse our dance steps. Then bar opens at 7pm," one of waiters said to me. I announced loudly it was birthday forum member's birthday today and the staff spontaneously arranged for DJ to play Happy Birthday and all the waiters surrounded our semi-circular booth seat to dance and sing to birthday forum member. It was a wild crazy night with waiters grabbing birthday forum member to dance with them many times. The bottle of vodka plus cocktails helped the party mood. We stayed for 3 hours and ran up a drinks bill of 5700 baht which we split threeway equally. This excludes tips of course. reader, splinter1949, 10tazione and 4 others 7 Quote
Popular Post jason1975 Posted December 8 Author Popular Post Posted December 8 After finishing bottle of vodka, we left Dragon and Koi just before midnight. I suggested going to Hotmale as it was the one bar I did not visit during this trip (I didn't visit Banana or The One even though I walked past them several times). Lo and behold, I was greeted by the sight of Moonlight model, Boss! He was dancing with 3 other dancers. They dance every Friday and Saturday at 1am at Moonlight but now I discover they also dance at 12am show at Hot Male. I had visited Moonlight twice but never got the chance to meet Boss. He was either off or coming late during those two nights that I visited. Seeing Boss up close about 3 metres away (I dragged birthday forum member to sit in front row seat facing stage) was an experience that I cannot adequately describe in words. I could see clearly his chiselled face and yummy lips. I called mamasan over. "Get me 4 1000-baht garlands quickly!" I told him as I handed over 4000 baht without a single thought. A few minutes later, he came back with 4 garlands which I presented to them. The 4 dancers showed me their appreciation, slightly bewildered that there is a crazy fan who's mad about them. After they finished dancing, they dressed up and headed for the exit, presumably to go to Moonlight for their 1am performance. I then remembered that Hot Male and Moonlight had same owner so that explains why Boss and dancers would be at Hot Male. vinapu, bkkmfj2648, BL8gPt and 2 others 5 Quote
Popular Post jason1975 Posted December 8 Author Popular Post Posted December 8 After I had finished going gaga over Boss, I gave my attention back to birthday forum member. I told mamasan that it's his birthday today and he smiled and gave a thumbs up, indicating he knows what surprise to give. And what a surprise! 8 big cock Hot Male guys came out and stood in front of birthday forum member with their big cocks all pointing at him! The DJ played Happy Birthday and the big cock guys sang, clapped and swung their cocks! I teased birthday forum member and asked whether he would like a number tag so that he could on stage and experience being a gogo boy. Of course he said no and we just enjoyed the show. At half past midnight after the show, we left Hot Male. We passed by Freshboys on our way down and I said hi to some of the their guys standing outside while the show was going on inside. We stopped at Hotmale Beer Bar for some coffee for final supper at Foodland. I counted the Hotmale Beer Bar waiters. 7 of them plus 3 promoters for Hot Male upstairs. "10 shots of Jagermeister, Aung," I said. He quickly put the shot glasses on bar counter and started pouring the vodka. I placed a 100-baht note below each shot glass then gathered everyone to drink a toast to my last night in Bangkok. After that was last supper at Foodland until 2am. I didn't need any guy back in hotel room with me because I had my favourite massage guy in afternoon. I said goodbye to forum members and headed back to hotel. bkkmfj2648, 10tazione, vinapu and 3 others 6 Quote
reader Posted December 8 Posted December 8 It was definitely your Kama to be in the right place at right moment throughout this trip. You experienced far to many encounters to chaulk up to mere “coincidence.” Whether it was on the street, in a bar or massage shop, they kept coming fast an furious. Running into Boss at tail end was jewel in the crown. Thanks for the companionship and friendship we share. And thanks from my guy for making his birthday memorable. He also very much enjoyed the late suppers, chess and pool matches we all shared. 10tazione, bkkmfj2648, ggobkk and 1 other 4 Quote
