The dark room was the main reason I want to see CD, apparently it has some really fun theme nights leaning into it's BDSM concept too. I walked through Red House area a few times, but mostly early evening on my way to/from places and it hadn't picked up yet. I'm not sure I would have survived hot springs in the 35+ degree temperatures, if I had a longer time there I would have still suffered through it just to try it out. I hope you have a good trip for November, should be much more suitable hot spring weather!

Soi13 is definitely a fun experience, I went there on my last trip and had a nice time, it had a pretty bustling crowd of mixed ages that time. I think it was my first ever Sauna experience, if i remember correctly. Taichung has a new sauna also that looks interesting too, it's called BodyFresh in Xitun district. It was another of my plans that unfortunately didn't come to fruition this trip. I hope to get back to Taiwan next year, I've got a busy schedule for the next 6 months, then Japan for their spring, so hopefully after that it will be time to get back to some Taiwanese action

Here's a list of massage places I discovered before my trip, I think most of them I picked up from someone's post on here.. but these all seem to be still active so i'll repost them. https://www.gayspa.tw/ - Directory site https://portaly.cc/C93SPA https://www.esgayspa.design/ https://www.g-plusspa.com/ https://www.ximanspa.com/ https://nestspa.tw/ https://www.ssbspa.com.tw/ https://www.boy-gay-spa.com/ https://magicspa.com.tw/ https://aroomspa.mystrikingly.com/ https://glowspa520.wixsite.com/index

A couple of brief updates from my recent visit. Grindr is still full of potential, met up with a cute guy in Ximending, he was eager for more just about every day after. I was messaging him at about 8am and he asked me to come to him, it was a bit of a struggle to navigate the alley to find where he was but he came down and got me from outside eventually. Language barrier was a bit of a problem and it started a bit awkward as he just laid on his bed scrolling his phone in clothes, so i took the initiative and got things going and it turned out great. Cute guys in their 20s seem to be pretty eager for tops in Taipei. I tried two of the massage places, Ximan Spa and Gay Spa. Es Gay Spa https://www.esgayspa.design/ Ximan Spa https://www.ximanspa.com/ I went to Ximan first, my first option wasn't available but the reservation person on Line helped me select someone else, they communicated in English and explained the course option then confirmed the booking and location to meet. I liked this service the best, the shop was clean and some rooms are themed. Unfortunately the guy I got was pretty low effort, barely wanted to massage and wouldn't bottom. Next I booked Gay Spa, again communication in english was fine and they were easy to make a booking with. I went to the meeting point and guess who showed up, the same guy as yesterday. This store had private rooms in building and less of a store environment, but the bathroom in my room was a bit dirty and I didn't like the environment as much. Well I accidentally selected the same guy, his photos were different on each site (XimanSpa was more accurate), he was again not the best and still wouldn't bottom so I left the appointment early after some light fun and didn't bother with the massage. Price wise 120 min booking for Ximan was 2900NTD, Gay Spa 120 min booking was 2400NTD. I wish i had more time in Taipei to go back to Soi13, CommanderD, hot springs and try some more massage options, but plans didn't really work out. Taiwan reminded me that it has some incredibly hot guys around though, Ximending is so busy with tourists and I found other areas to be more enjoyable for restaurants and hot guy watching at Cafes.

this thread has some info. I haven't been yet, but next trip it's on the list

I might be a minority opinion here but I personally don't like Agate anymore, thin walls and families staying there have made my last few stays less enjoyable. I do like Poseidon and East Suites, I'm yet to stay at The Venue or Zing. I'll second Classrooms and Copa for Boyztown. No issue at any of the above for guests. Classrooms has an entrance beside the bar where you bypass the bar and can go straight up to your room, the rest that i've stayed at will hold the guests ID.

Damn, Winner was my favourite in Pattaya. I wish Paul all the best, he is a good guy and cared for his staff and customers. On my last visit he did mention the owner(s) of Sunee raised rents and were making it unviable to continue while Winner was experiencing a lower high season.

They will bring it up, I wouldn't assume you're going to find any thai guys in pattaya just looking for hookups, it might happen but it's probably rare if they're attractive. Filters on photos is fairly common, but someone completely different showing up hasn't happened to me yet in Pattaya. It can happen the same as anywhere else though, just go with your gut. if something feels off then ask for a quick Line video call before they come or meet them outside the entrance of the hotel before you go inside.

he will probably appreciate that. Headphones on in a gym is a social cue you might have missed. I go to the gym frequently and the last thing I want is someone interrupting me to tell me what workout they think i should do. If it is a personal trainer correcting form to prevent injury that's one thing, but some old man telling me to do glutes because he thinks he saw a limp, well.. Go! Go! was rather polite of him.

I wonder how many guys i've skipped because i assumed the former, where i'm from it means not looking for sex so it never occurred to me it meant not for free

Just noticed this tour video of 1/0 Sauna so thought i'd share, I didn't get time to check it out on my last trip but I would be interested to hear if anyone has been to find out if it gets busy and the types of guys there. There is also a I/0 Sauna in Taiwan, not sure if they're related?

Can't say i'd off either of them 😂 but I definitely have my favourite to deal with.

The next night I walked back up Patpong and the touts happily proclaimed "you're back" pointing at Freshboys, so that solved the mystery of where I was last night. Still I don't know why i remember the bar differently, but who knows, maybe early onset dementia. Tonight I let them know I would come back, but I decided to check out Dream Boys. I arrived at about 10pm, probably 5-6 other customers. They had quite a big lineup that alternated on stage between the hunkier guys and the twunk/twinkier guys (not as many twinks), my estimate would be 30 guys total. It was my first time being in this location, I like the layout, the mamasan wasn't pushy and they had a large variety. Most guys on stage were shirtless, but not a lot were my type, the main guy I would have considered was wearing a button up shirt on stage (I think the only one that did) and I didn't want to call him down because of that. I stayed for a few rotations but decided to check bin and get to freshboys again to see tonights lineup. Back up the stairs and into the guiding hands of the male mamasan, seated in the same spot as last night. One thing that is a bit annoying about this seat is the pillar obstructing my view, but the bar was busy again so seating was limited. I like the male mamasan here, he noted my pick from last night and let me know he's not here tonight but gave me a list of numbers for guys I might like, not pushy, not asking for drinks, just helpful. He advised 35 guys left tonight, 7 were already off. During intermission for the show I called down another guy, he was a performer in the second half so he asked if it's ok to wait for him to finish the show, no problem. The problem during the second half is a waiter had set eyes on me as a mark and asked for a drink, ok one drink no problem, but every 5 minutes from then until my off got back to his seat this waiter was asking for drinks for someone else, mama (the other mamasan), his friend, him, he must have asked 6-7 times and all answered with no. That got quite annoying, so as soon as the guy I offed came back I checked bin. When I checked bin the mama sat there scrutinising my tab for a few minutes, it almost seemed like she was looking for something or thought I had removed a slip, really left a sour taste that night after the drinks harassment. On the way out, the waiter was back asking for a tip lol, no thanks. I walked a few steps and slipped the guy mamasan a tip, he was helpful, never asked for anything and easy to talk to. The guy I offed was 23 from Cambodia and his performance in the show gave me some hope for a good time ahead, in bed he wasn't bad but he couldn't handle it for long, he said he was new to the bar so maybe not as experienced. We had to finish up in 69, he was good at that so no complaints.

Ok back to the report. That night coming up the lift a Japanese (i think) guy has TWO perfect twinks with him, as they left the lift one of them looked back at me with a smile and I was so tempted to ask what bar i need to go to tomorrow, but I decided not to. The guy taking them up seemed a little nervous because he hesitated getting in the lift with another hotel guest, so I didn't want to cause him any embarrassment, i shot a smile back and left them be, hoping I would see them later. The morning was quiet, ST Laundry behind Silom complex 300 baht for a few KG of clothes wash and folded with next day pickup. I met up with a Thai friend that I met of Grindr year ago and used to hookup with but now we're more platonic friends, this turned into a few drinks before I ventured back to Patpong alone. This is the night that some may have seen from my earlier thread. I was walking into Patpong for the first time in about a year, guided by the barkers and ushered to a seat. At the time when i sat down I started to wonder which bar am I in, this isn't the layout in my memory of Freshboys (it was freshboys), but at this point i was seated and eyes glued to the stage so didn't give it another thought. On stage ~40 guys, I would class the majority as twunk and jocks (slim fit and toned) this night, I arrived 15 minutes before a show started and the small number of guys I would consider twinks added to my wonder if this was Freshboys. I called down #7, a 25 year old from Myanmar, we watched the first half of the show, discussed our evening activities and I offed him. The deciding factor for me calling him down was when he was on stage during the rotations he was playfully joking around with another guy on stage, he seemed to just be enjoying himself and had a very cute smile, a cute smile will get me every time. Back to the room and I definitely had a win with my decision, he was not mechanical at all, had a very gentle and kind personality. I can take a while to cum but he seemed to enjoy every moment of it, he wasn't a powerbottom but he did have a good level of energy and we wrangled around in a few different positions before my days of built up cum finally emptied and we collapsed into each other. We spooned for a good 20 minutes just chatting while he showed me some photos of his Songkran on his phone, then he showered and got his tip and said he was off to see his friends for dinner. He would have been a repeat for me, possibly even a LT, but we was not there by the time I got to Freshboys the following nights, so just the one great night with him.

Work has got a bit busy for me, it might be a couple of days before i write up the Bangkok part of the trip. It does get a bit better from here
