Then he’s probably also thinking: why mess with a winning formula! LOL

My opinion only: He wants you come to the bar, pay for all the drinks, treat all his friends, win him lots of respect, show the bar staff he has a wealthy patron, and then send him home with money without having to spend any baht himself to celebrate his own birthday. He will likely go to see his family in the day time, or several days later if they live far away. Thai boys like to spend their birthdays drunk with friends not in the countryside with their family!

I personally find the heat a downer. But that is just me.

Pitfalls: barely enough salary to cover falang food, rent, and essentials, without speaking of boys, bars and booze. Benefits: none that I can think of

Yes he was off able at Moonlight.

Here is Poppy singing with the female singer (Aom?) from Moonlight in The Voice Thailand. TBH I’m not a fan of hers, she doesn’t sing particularly well and isn’t professional like Poppy. When she sings at Moonlight she behaves as though she’s a superstar, going badly off key, forgetting her lyrics because she obviously didn’t bother to rehearse or just stopping in the middle to chat. When I see her showing up, that’s when I quickly leave and go to Jupiter LOL.

I wonder if the high traffic this weekend is due to domestic tourism, which is also revitalizing Pattaya bars? We hear of Bangkok locals heading out of the city to take advantage of hotel and travel discounts but is the reverse also true?

LOL yes it’s easy to confuse Poppy and PJ at first. Based on the FB schedule (if you visited between 9-10.30 PM) and recent posts, I’m guessing you actually met PJ. They haven’t advertised Poppy recently.

Yes I thought you meant Poppy. So I was surprised when you posted the photo of “Ti”. I was thinking “Wow did Jupiter manage to find another singer who’s as good as Poppy?” I always meant to try offing Poppy too lol. But only for a drink and chat, I can’t imagine he’d agree to do more. Did you really offer 10K?

A little more information. They have VIP sofas for 9000 baht upwards. 9000 baht gets you 4 bottles of Red Label. They also have memberships which gives you 10% discount on your bill. Sophisticated bill payment such as a contactless credit card scanner so you can continue to spend a lot of cash during a pandemic. Mr Tee, a Moonlight model in the early days is now working there. There is another similar club called Hub Club which is much more interesting to me as it looks like the guys go shirtless.

They have a FB page too but I don’t see any numbers. Looks like a normal club. My limited knowledge is that calling the guys only gets them to your table for drinks, not off. I guess the only way to know for sure is for us to visit and report back!

I have heard of it. Two boys who briefly appeared as Moonlight models now “moonlight” there occasionally. Like what Jasper posted above, it seems to be a “handsome men” local club for men and women. There are a number of these clubs around but likely no offing.

Well Google translate gave this: Massage Kratchat. Let's talk and talk with each other in the old underwear, so urgent, it hurts so much, there is no stopping with this one. Let's meet LOL But my understanding is that he will be modelling some underwear which the viewers can then purchase with discounts.

And repatriation perhaps? This month UK universities are telling their foreign students to return for the start of classes.

Seems like Babe is working the VIP zone of Fake Club on 4 September. No idea if this is a one off or he’s joining the club permanently.

If I tell you, it wouldn’t be a secret any longer.

For anyone who’s interested, Babe has started an e-shop selling men’s underwear for with himself as model.

Salt in the wounds for those of us who are unable to pay 500 or even 5000 baht

I missed this in the first post, but thank you for the extra details

There are gay guys in Jupiter? Times have changed indeed LOL Same question as before, what was the customer situation in Silom?

I understood something about only “eating dinner” with customers? I’m surprised he would speak openly about working go go. Not a fan of his new nose, the old one was much better.

Nest, Nut, Tam. if you like Nest, he was featured in Labour BKK magazine with a solo masturbation video. One of the early editions, which you can find on their Twitter.

Yes I am aware of that. Moonlight has been very successful but there are some downsides too. It would be a pity to clone the same formula when Hot Male has the chance to have more fun, casual vibes.

To me this would be a red flag. This is not the same as a disposable paper mask, but clearly an expensive mask that you bought for your own use and not a souvenir he can help himself to.

Great report Michael. A few questions come to mind. There seem to be plenty of boys available but what is the customer situation on a Saturday night in the various bars? I recently had a look at the new Hot Male FB page. Seems like the owner is trying to replicate the formula of Moonlight, hunk types, slickly taken social media photographs, and highlighting a few as the “stars”. I hope they don’t go too far though as it would be dull to have two almost identical bars. Does the actual line up now skew towards hunks or are there some twinks? Were there customers? Times must be hard if drink sales are being pushed on a boy from another bar. Mamasans even less trustworthy now than ever, so you gave him good advice. But the level of confidence he displayed in your report does not suggest a newbie I was surprised to read this, it seems very bold. Was this a disposable mask, or a cloth reusable mask? As I already know from your other reports, you are a generous tipper so I am sure they were left happy, other endings not withstanding!
