Could not say definitively but I get the impression that some bars open every day with the hope that tonight might be a good night. Re Nice Boys there were 5 boys - only one created some interest with me - he sat beside me but we were under the constant scrutiny of an aged mamasan and 2 of the other boys which was somewhat uncomfortable for me

I went to Winner Boys on Friday - no one sitting outside only 2 staff inside - not a boy in sight - was told "not open inside only outside " no boys come"" Then went on to Nice Boys - that was an experience to forget for me- but i suppose it depends on what lights your fire. My travelling companion was sadly disappointed in that precint as he been a visitor years previously

Adams Apple and Circle Pub are the boy bars in town - both open around 9.00 - 9.30 and close at midnight. Last week Adams had 8 boys on stage with 4 presenting shows before circulating amongst the 9 customers to collect tips. Circle has fewer boys with a show starting around 10 .30. Both locations are on Facebook. Some boys can be taken off from each place. Ram Bar in Soi 6 in the night market has a popular cabaret. Also in Soi 6 is Orion Bar which has a few boys who will sit with you to drink and so earn tips. There are many host bars in Chiang Mai including Maya, Route 181, FinFin, Barocco, Maximo, Meeting, Monkey Club, G2K - most are mixed venues that tend to kick off after midnight. The Apps Hornet, Grindr and Blue'd are usually busy. Not sure what massage shops are open - Classic House near Thapae Gate I know is open and is usually popular. Other venues are House of Male and Club One Seven ( sauna , pool) - not been to either so unaware of their status

Adams Apple remains closed - it was the closest to a boy bar with boys in briefs and shows - Orion Bar and Ram Bar remain open in Soi 6 of the night bazaar - the former has a few freelancers at various times whilst Ram is better known for its cabaret show. There are several host bars in CM but mainly mixed venues - Route 181, Pose Club, Maya Club, Barocco. These venues don't really kick.off until 11pm. Usually 20+ lads on stage - and you pay around 250 thb per hour for them to sit and drink with you. Whiskey bottle with free mixers 1500 thb. These venues definitely not like Screwboys or HotMale in Bangkok but the lads can be fun and attentive.

Chiang Mai is showing signs of life again particularly with the approach of Songkran - Adams Apple remains closed and Pandee Bar, Secrets Bar have ceased operation. In the night bazaar area Orion Bar and Ram Bar are open and provided cabaret shows. There are several boy host bars Pose, Maya, Route 181 which really don't kick off till 11.00 pm - staff at these venues can be invited to drink with you at a fee per hour - post work arrangements can be negotiated individually. Barrocco karaoke works similarly. Most of these venues have Facebook pages. The gay Apps used here include Hornet, Grindr and Blue'd and there are plenty of members. The authenticity of some profiles is questionable. Chiang Mai old city is a great place to wander around and the Saturday and Sunday walking street markets are worth a visit. Food is a great attraction here as is coffee - some excellent coffee locations. You have to try khao Soy crispy fried noodles atop a coconut curry broth with chicken and yellow noodles. Classic House massage is close to the old city and remains one of the steadfast gay massage places. Woody at Classic House also does tours and he is a really good guy - a day tour costs around 2500 - 3000 thb Some really nice places to visit outside Chiang Mai - Doi Inthanon, Mon Chaem, Mae Khompong, Chiang Rai (overnight is best). However there is haze around at present which limits views. The large mountain Doi Suthep overlooks Chiang Mai and is a nice spot on a clear day. At present one of the fads is going to a watercourse , sitting on a chair in the water and eating and drinking and getting wet of course. Lots of people go to the lake Huay Taeng Tao to eat and spread out in the bamboo huts overlooking the water.

the one in the middle with the black top does nothing for me!!!

As Londoner mentioned CM gay scene isn't thriving at present - most bars are quiet - I was one of three customers at one of the better known ones last night - but as most know if you don't try them out you'll never know. Orion, Pandee, Secrets, CM19 bars are small establishments within walking distance of each other in the Night Bazaar area. Most have a few boys there mainly to sit and drink with you - some boys offable. All bars have some information on Facebook- but not all up to date. Most popular boy show bar is Adams Apple located in the Santitham area. Again on Facebook. Most of the boys are from the Shan State in Myanmar. Boys can be "offed" - ask the mamasan for any advice. Another boy show bar is New My Way also in the Santitham area. It's ok depending if there is an audience. More well known massage establishments are Classic House and Common Massage and Apollo - refer to websites/Faceboook. Grab works well in Chiang Mai for transport - short waiting times and available at all hours. The Apps are active here - Hornet, Grindr, Blued - mind you some profile photos aren't that current. Chinese New Year celebrations in the next few days - mainly I think around the Warorot Market area. And of course walking street markets on Saturday and Sunday in the Chiang Mai Gate and Thapae Gate areas. Relaxing time to be had drinking beer, eating thai food including fried whole fish, snoozing in the huts at the lake Huy Tung Tao particularly if accompanied. You even get to see King Kong!!

Advertising on Facebook open with shows during Loy Krathong - last time I went more than a year ago show did not get under way till 10.30 - 11.00

Thanks - return to Bangkok next month and will have a look

any news on Super A, Golden Cock, Nature Boy - still open?

is there more to the show than dancing boys in jeans ??

very impressive - but in a recent visit to Moonlight the one that caught my attention was a staff member- in the photo posted in this thread he is the one back row left end - delightful

mynakedtop - most of the bars are located in the night market area - Orion, Pandee, Secrets, Ram, Blackjack - they are small bars wirh Ram having a cabaret around 22.30. Low season at present so not terribly crowded anywhere Adams Apple has a boy show - mostly straight Tai Yai boys but they like to have fun - there is a Facebook page with updates if they are having special shows New My Way is similar. Although not primarily gay venues some of the karaoke bars provide a good nights entertainment - mind you some of them don't kick off till 1.00am. Freeguy and Barocco fit this description - mixed crowd but plenty of boys to share a drink with you Other than the songtaews and tuk tuks - Grab is a good mode of transport here. It even mentions a day car hire service A visit to Huay Taeng Tao is worth a visit - sit under a bamboo hut overlooking a lake - eat and drink with some company - very relaxing and inexpensive A car trip to Doi Inthanon is worthwhile - great scenery, spectacular gardens - but a bit of a gamble in rain season lots and lots to do here

The Black Jack Bar has opened up recently where 69 Bar was previously located - diagonally opposite Ram Bar on Charoen Prathet Road - opposite Pornping Tower Hotel and a very good liquor store. The bar is basic - tables out front and staffed by Lisu boys - there were about 8-10 there last night - next door types - all attentive and friendly and boy can they dance after a few drinks. I was the only customer last night - the reason ? probably a combination of low season, wet weather, a new unknown venue, a certain football game. Most bars here appear to be going through a lean period at present Also a new massage place opening here next month - Apollo Massage - there is a Facebook page and a web site set up already Off to Adams Apple on Saturday night for the Blackfoot Indian Party (????) PS Pornping Tower Hotel is closed at present for renovations - considering the size of the place those renovations could take quite a long time

yes - G Boys still open last week - the tout was out on Surawong Rd but my companions knew where it was. If I recall correctly it was 100 Pipers - normal size not 1 litre - and @1500 thb - boys could share freely - don't think they got a ticket though like they do when you buy them an individual drink. Incidentally I was somewhere else recently and a bucket of ice was 20 thb

Last week a friend offered me a ride down to Bangkok from Chiang Mai - so took the opportunity and hastily booked a room at Raya. Can only endorse most opinions and say it is a good place to stay. Nice size room and staff who are courteous and welcoming - especially the waiter in the breakfast room and the security man at night. After the road trip and shortly after arrival I had a massage at Art next door which was most relaxing in more ways than one. In the space of 3 days visited a few new places - so will offer my experiences and impressions. Screwboys - one of my favourite places - mainly Viet boys, lots of twinks - learned that if you bought a bottle of whisky, mixers were free - but if you didn't finish it and left it for the following night, mixers for the second night were 1000 thb. Maybe it was just a con and in retrospect should have just bought another bottle of whisky - but you live and learn. Still didn't dampen my enjoyment at the venue Tawan Bar - my first visit here - stayed 15 minutes - not my scene - but you have to do some things once - my lasting memory will be of small leather pouches. New G Boys - terrible - few boys when I went - I spent most of the time concentrating on my beer - maybe it is still finding its feet Classic Boys - at the very end of Soi Twilight - about 10 boys - a couple worth a second glance - creepy mamasan who seemed to hover over my shoulder for the time I was there - a couple of reasonable routines in the show - especially the underwater pool sequence Moonlight - 2 visits - the super models seem to take most of the attention if you like that sort of thing - I agree they do put a bit of effort into their routines which is commendable - some of the routines are a little bizarre eg the wedding - but for me the boys in the red shorts are much more appealing - especially enjoyed their group dance to Michael Jackson song at the end of the night and the small guy desperately trying to hide his boner with his hand. Invited a first nighter to come and sit with me - (sigh) Happy Beer Garden and Restaurant - been mentioned in another post recently - for me the food was ordinary (ok there was seafood) but way way expensive for what you get GC - went to see if a friend was there - he has worked there for a few years and been a little unwell lately - asked the boys present about him - unhelpful, rude, dismissive When I was there last week word got around that police were cracking down on some of the workers and quite a few of the Viet boys headed home - no doubt they will be back next week. Also played pool in the bar opposite X size one night - talked to a Viet guy - incredibly handsome - was going to start work at Classic next day As mentioned at the beginning only my impressions - as has been suggested you have to go and find out for yourself - you never never no - if you never never go Cheers

As of a couple of months ago Regency Boy Bar was still there - small place with just a few boys usually playing cards. The times I have gone there I have usually been the only customer but a boy will come and sit with you. Always check your bill here. Hornet app works well - even when I have travelled through CR there are multiple hits.

as an alternative you can walk down the laneway from Silom Rd that takes you up to Screwboys and Surawong Road - and get a a little flick of the whip on your behind from the older gentleman dressed in leather outside the S&M Bar

Hi sglad - yes different places - not yet been to Khao Soi Rot Yam - the one I like nearby to me (near Kad Suan Kaew) is Khao Soi Mae Sai - very popular - but the best for me thus far is the one in Warorot market - just near the steps in the downstairs food court

In Bangkok for a few days so decided to go to Dreamboys to see the show. Hadn't been for a few years and was curious to see what it is like now. Paid my 500 thb for the first (and only drink). A bottle of lukewarm Heiniken was delivered but when asked for - a glass of ice was promptly brought. To my thinking the type of boy has changed - seemed to be older and more muscular than I previously remembered #72 was a great dancer and #85 had the best thighs - both received tips To the show - after a few acts I was looking to leave. A dance sequence that was comical because of all the mishaps. 2 guys doing a routine to "You can leave your hat on" (yawn). A parade of ordinary looking guys showing big cocks and then a sequence of very ordinary looking lady boys that went on and on and on. Mercifully there was a break so I headed for the exit smiling at # 85 as I left. I appreciate that we all have different likes and dislikes but for me Dreamboys didn't live up to its name this visit.

Thanks for the replies - guess I left it a bit late

Anyone booked with them recently? I placed a request for a night tourthis weekend on the website and got a pending advice - but received nothing else since just wondering if anyone has update - with thanks

PS abang1961 is correct - the Khao Soi here is excellent - the best I have found so far is downstairs food center at Warorot Market

Been living in Chiang Mai and still discovering - took myself off to New My Way recently as people here knew it was open but further knowledge was scant. The venue is located in Santitham (Soi 3 Hussadissawee Rd) which is, if you don't have your own transport), a 10-15 minute tuk tuk or Grab ride from Thapae Gate. I arrived around 9.40 pm and was the only customer for the first hour. There were at least 15-20 boys. The venue is small with comfortable and reasonably new sofas facing a stage which has a short walkway coming into the audience Around 10.40 a show began and by then the number of customers had reached 6. The show was a mixture of ladyboy lipsync and naked boy routines' There was a nice sequence of a boy in a wooden round tub bathing. Tip and touching was encouraged. The lighting and show presentation was entertaining. I had asked the barman why there was so little information about New My Way on any internet site etc - he replied the owner wanted to have it low key to avoid any ongoing police presence. Drinks were priced a 246 thb for a small beer, coke, whisky, bottle of water and a bottle of whisky was 1400 thb upwards. One customer arrived and bought a bottle of JW Red which attracted a large number of the boys who then proceeded to play drinking games with great hilarity. Oh and the boys ?? Tai Yai of course - so all tops - like any venue here you have to very specific about what you want if you to off any. Most aged in the low 20s and gym fit. One very tall guy who was 30 got to talking to me at the urinals and ended up showing me photos of his home in Shan!! The venue has some bad reviews on various sites but I have to say the night I went it wasn't busy but I had a good time and I was entertained.

Returned to AA last night and have to say the show was a little more entertaining - one boy did a great acrobatic piece in a pair of gold shiny trunks - very very nice. Interesting that if a boy comes to sit with you now there is a 100thb fee - apparently introduced because some were not being tipped by customers. I am not into lip syncing drag acts but there was one doing a Diana Ross song last night - very good. Sat with a gorgeous young thing from Mae Hong Son and gladly paid my 100thb - great smile, great character and great elsewhere. you are right a447a Korn is a very nice person - good personality and got to see and feel first hand even more of his finer qualities - he did a security man act last night
