Correction. My mistake. Waiter is from Myanmar and not Laos. His name is Ong. Decent English and a good conversationalist. I got to know another waiter from Myanmar from the same bar. His name is Alex. He loves to sing and will sing lyrics of songs being played over the bar speaker. Fun personality. If I could, I will take him to karaoke at soi 4 one day! Ong is quieter but a very nice guy. I will happily go to Hotmale every evening just to chat with them!

It's because there are only a few models in Moonlight and they are heavily publicised and promoted on social media. They have many fans. But because there are 25 guys in Jupiter, it's harder to stand out. I know customers do tip the Jupiter guys discretely. Maybe on the night you were there, you didn't see tipping. I also know of the Jupiter singers receiving thousand baht garlands and other gifts. Don't ask me how I know! Hehe

Dinner? Haha. Yeah right. Guy chosen to join them looked like a bottom.

Yes. You have to tell mamasan who you want to invite to your seat.

I concur with you and @vinapu Tawan is the friendliest gay bar in Bangkok.

I think you will have lots of attention if you have lady companion. Haha Yes, after midnight, they don't parade anymore so they don't have to wear regulation jeans. Some of them really look fashionable and good in their own clothes.

I left at 1.30am. Soi 4 was dark. Circus was shuttered and lights were off. Balcony's lights were dimmed and there were some customers drinking but no music. I walked towards Silom Road and saw that all bars were closed. The only bar still operating was Jupiter. They must have special clearance to operate beyond midnight. I turned into Soi Patpong. The girlie gogo bars King's Castle and Radio City were still operating. I could glimpse girls still pole dancing on stage through the partially opened doors. So probably the larger bars could somehow pay to close later. I passed by the pool parlour. It was full! And guess what. Former guy now current waiter P was playing pool with another guy and a pool girl. I knocked on the window. P saw me and came out to say hi. Apparently, the staff of Circus went there to play pool after closing the restaurant. I told P i was glad to see him. He asked me to go to Circus tomorrow. I shall see how. I went back to hotel room. No Jupiter guy. Then it hit me. Why didn't I ask P back? (Facepalm!)

A group of 4 or 5 Korean young ladies on holiday were at the sofa in the corner behind me. The Jupiter guys were more than happy to be invited to their table but they only had single drinks. They watched the show with the guys they invited but they left after show. No offs. The guys they invited were the handsome ones with K-pop looks including a tall guy in round glasses. Show was good. Professional and entertaining. Performances were staggered. After about 3 or 4 acts, the Jupiter guys would parade on stage. Clever strategy of allowing customers to look at prospective offs. About 25 guys in all. Many handsome and with good bodies. I recognise some of the guys including two who used to work at Moonlight. Everyone looked so good. Mamasan plonked himself next to me and asked if I was keen to off a guy. Naturally I asked about price. ST 2500. LT 4500 to 5000. "But you can negotiate with boy," mamasan added. Gulp. I stayed on after the show at midnight just to listen to Poppy and Jay. 4 Chinese customers - 3 guys and a lady - came in. They got sofa by side of stage. Bottles were brought to them and around 7 to 8 Jupiter guys went to sit with them drinking, singing and dancing. I also must mention lady boss who entered bar at probably 11pm with stacks of crisp 100 baht notes. She was dressed in all-white pants suit. She had the no-nonsense-don't-mess-with-me look. Waiters and mamasans steered clear of her and she supervised things from a distance. When the Chinese customers came, she went to sit with them. At around 12.30am, a single lady came in. She had bottle service. Mamasan sent one Jupiter guy to sit with her while she listened to Poppy and Jay sing. Half an hour, she left with the guy. The Jupiter guys crowded around the Chinese group had a great time. The VIPs were invited to sing karaoke and two of the guys who sang were actually not bad! The lady's singing was another matter. One Jupiter guy (the one with lots of tattoos and is always the first one on stage during parade) sang Careless Whisper. Decent singing skills to add to his impressive list of skills. The Jupiter guys were enjoying themselves so much that they danced on stage (some obviously drunk) and they even took a group photo shirtless. I wonder if mamasans would ever share this gem and rarity of a photo. Probably with only regular or big spending customers.

Some interesting characters at Jupiter tonight. A lone Chinese lady was at VIP sofa surrounded by mamasans and a Jupiter guy. At front seats sofas were 2 separate Asian customers with one Jupiter guy each. One of them is Thai and he had bottle service. He would stay all the way until closing time. The other, i wasn't sure whether is Thai or not, but throughout the night he was chatting with his Jupiter guy about the other Jupiter guys as they paraded on stage and down the runway. He would invite a guy down and the three of them would chat while watching the show. He didn't have bottle service. He only had 2 drinks for himself and his guy. I think about 5 different guys sat down to chat. Finally, after the show at midnight, he found the right guy and 3 of them left for a threesome.

Went back to hotel to rest. At 9.30pm went to Jupiter. Similar to Moonlight. Pay 400 baht at entrance for one drink. There was a singer singing to about 15 customers spread throughout the seats. I was given seat on a stool with table facing front of stage. It wasn't the sofas in front. Those are reserved for bottle service or regular customers. I recognise the singer. It was Poppy. Before Covid, he used to sing with another guy PJ. Now he sings alone from 9.30pm to 10.30pm when the show starts and he sings again from midnight to 2am (yes, Jupiter opens till that late!) with a new young singer named Jay. Jay and Poppy are so different. Jay is taller and muscular and dressed like a rapper. But he can sing and somehow their combination managed to work. Before show started at 10.30pm, i asked mamasan to help me inform Poppy that i would like to talk to him. Poppy came over. I showed him a photo of me and him and PJ from 2020 and he remembered me. He sings now on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. I was glad to see him again. I gave him a 500-baht note to show my appreciation for his singing.

Day 7 was a Saturday and I spent the day at Chatuchak. Came back to hotel for afternoon nap. Hungry after i woke up so went for early dinner. On way back, passed by Hotmale bar so had a beer. 140 baht only. It was 7 plus and soi was dark. Dreamboys did not switch on outside lights. Several gay tourists walked into soi and looked at stairs leading to Freshboys. Too early, come back later, the Hotmale waiters told them. Chatted the Hotmale waiter who served me. From Laos. He worked at bar the past 2 years through Covid. He was busy getting bar ready for the night so I couldn't chat more with him. Freshboys Laos guy whom I offed 2 nights ago walked past with friend. I offered to buy them beer but they said they were late. They had to grab dinner and report to bar. His friend was also from Laos. Tall and handsome. @Min had eyes on him when we were at Freshboys together. I thought of a threesome with both Laos guys but seeing how straight they were, i doubt they would agree to the idea.

You have a kind heart!

I was at Hot Male last night after dinner at 7 plus. Got to know a waiter from Laos named Ong. Chatted awhile but strictly professiional. Not clingy. Maybe a different waiter. Will go again tonight.

Glad you had luck with app and boy!

Even without offs, they get paid to report to bar and parade. They also get paid for every show they take part in. And not forgetting tips from customers. Definitely still higher than average salary of a waiter or worker in restaurant which is 15k a month.

Yes. The guys talk about customers.

No further comments from me, @Min 🤐🤐🤐

It is 1.30am in Bangkok and i just left Jupiter. I was quoted 4.5k to 5k for LT but I just couldn't bear to spend that amount. However, i must say that many Jupiter guys look really good!

Culture, cuisine and cock! Lol!

Oops. I think i used the term wrongly. I should have written glass half full. Did you get a guy every night? Wow!

Regarding the models, I like Nut the most. He is not as flashy as the others. He has his own quiet charm.

That is a glass half empty perspective of looking at things!

Very happy surprises!

I cannot wait to read about him!

To answer question, I don't know which days are best but I know that Tuesday has the fewest customers.
