Another trip... Bangkok, Pattaya & Cambodia
To a building in the beginning of the same street. Next to Toyboys.

Another trip... Bangkok, Pattaya & Cambodia
The impossible is about to happen... On Tuesday, I have to travel from Pattaya to BKK airport—and for the first time ever, I’m taking the bus instead of a taxi! Be proud of me! Haha

Another trip... Bangkok, Pattaya & Cambodia
One thing I forgot to mention is that I specifically asked whether "closing" meant a permanent closure—or if they might just be closing temporarily, for instance for renovations or a relocation. It turns out it would be a permanent closure. The staff member I asked didn’t know the reason for the potential closure—or perhaps they just didn’t want to say, of course...

Another trip... Bangkok, Pattaya & Cambodia
I did a round of Boyztown last night. We arrived at Xboys just as the first show was starting. According to the latest banners in the bar, they now have a show every hour—the first at 10 PM and the last at 1 AM. It remains the most progressive show I know, featuring plenty of nudity, big dicks, and the infamous "fuck show." By midnight, as the second round of shows was about to begin, the bar was quite full. The number of guys there—well, it’s neither large nor small; I’d call it "okay." However, for my personal taste, the quality left something to be desired. I recognized faces that have been there for many years. A bit of new (and younger, fresher) blood wouldn't hurt the place at all. But I was pleased to see that Pattaya offers something other than the slim, feminine "twinks" found in Jomtien—who are far too small for my personal taste. Places like Dreamboys and Toyboys also have some attractive guys, though the quantity might leave something to be desired. Then again, you really only need one guy who fits your preferences to have a great evening and a wonderful night... Xboys is the only bar that actually puts on a show. In the others, the guys just stand on stage (in their underwear)—there’s no real show; they just stand there and walk around a bit. At Toyboys, a few of the guys were enthusiastically trying to get our attention, which I always quite enjoy. It’s a lot better than having guys on stage just staring blankly into space. Inquiries with the staff at XBoys revealed that it is not yet certain whether the bar will close; the owner has yet to make a decision. Closing at the end of November is a possibility, but the end of December was also mentioned as an option—or perhaps they might simply remain open. Once the owner has reached a decision, they will share an update via their social media channels. Someone pointed out to me that XBoys will soon be celebrating its 18th anniversary; could that be the moment they choose to announce their closure—a "we’re all grown up now, time to move on" kind of sentiment? Given how busy the bar was, I find it hard to imagine that they would need to close due to poor business. Then again, I have no way of knowing whether the crowd on the particular evening we visited is representative of their usual foot traffic. BoyzBoyzBoyz has moved from the corner building they used to occupy to a spot next to Toyboys (where Café Royale used to be, perhaps?). We only realized this too late. So, I have no idea whether the move has brought them back toward their original concept—which might be more interesting to us—or if the guys are still performing on stage fully clothed, hoping to win over Asian women.

McDonalds is checking all three of your constraints? Healthy? 🤔

D2 - Dream Boy
But I am happy you checked it out. On our night in Bangkok we didn't go to Dreamboy because it's one of my least favourite bars. But you should always check it out yourself! Good you did.

Another trip... Bangkok, Pattaya & Cambodia
Despite the fact that fuel prices have risen—in Thailand, too, as far as I’m aware—the cost of a taxi from Bangkok to Pattaya with TheLimoPattaya has remained the same as last year: 1,600 baht. Although there were reports of heavy rain in Pattaya, the entire journey remained dry, and by the time I arrived, the weather there had cleared up as well. That was a relief; I find driving on Thai highways during a downpour quite frightening and dangerous, especially since many drivers fail to adjust their already hurried driving style to the weather conditions. A few days ago, I realized that I had actually booked a room with a pool view at the Agate Hotel. I personally prefer a room that faces the street (Jomtien Complex), so you can watch a bit of the lively atmosphere from your balcony. I sent an email to the hotel about this, and upon check-in, it turned out they had received it and had indeed assigned me a room with a street view instead. Nice. Met up with a forum member who also arrived in Pattaya today, along with his 20-year-old "travel companion." Apparently, some forum members now bring along young travel companions who aren't "money boys," boyfriends, or "fuck boys." In any case, it was a very enjoyable time. After dinner at Sophia’s (which was packed—likely because it’s so cheap...), we walked around and had drinks at various bars in the Jomtien complex. We heard some fresh gossip: X-Boys, located in/near Boyztown, is supposedly closing at the end of this month (November). If that’s true, it means the closure of what I consider the best bar in Pattaya for sex(y) shows. During my most recent visits to Pattaya, I’ve had some fantastic, raunchy nights there. So, I definitely need to pay it a visit over the next few days—partly to see if I can confirm whether they’re actually closing.

I already knew they allow smoking inside of Goodboy. But during my 2nd visit to Banana I did see multiple customers smoke inside also. Allowed. As waiters were happy to provide ashtrays. Being a non smoker, I think it's bad they let people smoke inside. Isn't that even forbidden by law? But... This is Thailand. So who cares about the law? Lol

Another trip... Bangkok, Pattaya & Cambodia
In the afternoon, my most loyal regular came to visit me in my hotel room. I’ve written about him quite a few times in my trip reports over the years. He’s half-Thai, half-Dutch, so I can speak my own language with him. Unfortunately, he charges European prices—but he’s worth it. So, I make an exception for him and pay an amount that would otherwise be unacceptable in Thailand. He’s sexy (see the photo below) and has a real "whorey" vibe. He also gives a great massage, and the sex that follows is fantastic, too. Completely satisfied, I lay in my room savoring the moment; as it was getting late, I took a shower and headed off toward Soi 4. I had arranged to meet @12is12 at G's for dinner. I had also eaten at Guido’s the evening before. But this time, I went for a Thai dish instead of German. Guido’s cat was sleeping on a chair. Yesterday, when it was raining, I didn’t see the cat. Guido’s pussy apparently doesn’t like to get wet. After dinner, we planned to visit a few bars. Since it was still quite early, we stopped by the Midnight bar for a drink first. It was lovely, as one of the forum favorites—Pay—was working there. It’s always fun to chat with him and engage in a bit of flirty banter. And always nice to get a feel of his arm muscles and lift up his shirt, too. Haha. We moved on to Freshboy. We arrived just in time to catch a few minutes of the guys on stage before the show started, getting a look at what was on offer... There were plenty of guys, but what struck me—especially after spending the last few days at Banana and Goodboy, where the guys are approachable and actively seek interaction—was that the guys at Freshboy didn’t make eye contact at all. No smiling. Only one or two tried a bit. They all just stood there staring straight ahead, looking quite serious. Not very inviting. The show itself was the same as always; nothing new or innovative. There were quite a few customers, but it was far from a full house. After that, we headed back to Soi 4—to Banana. The show was energetic and professional, just like yesterday. If you’re genuinely on a "boy hunt," there might be a bit too much emphasis on the show and not enough boys or nudity on display. Still, I find it a really great bar these days. There were plenty of flirtatious glances again. For the final bar of the evening, we headed to Goodboy. We arrived before the late show started, which gave us a good chance to take a proper look at all the guys. As always, there were plenty of guys working, but very few customers this time around. Both the "mamasan" and one of the guys I know mentioned that it had been quiet all evening. In fact, things have apparently been very slow for the past few weeks—they really need more business.

Was very nice meeting you. And I like your way writing trip report. Can't wait to read more about your adventures the rest of your holiday! I will warn them in Pattaya and Cambodia that you are coming.

At least he was being honest... And very romantic indeed.

Bangkok light festival 2026
I was here last year and can highly recommend it. Back then, I went on a boat—a special excursion offered by the tourist boat service. They’ll likely have that again this year. You can also book more upscale boat trips that include food and drinks. If you happen to be in Bangkok in November or December, definitely check it out!

Another trip... Bangkok, Pattaya & Cambodia
I hadn’t been to Banana Club for years. The last times I was there, I’d been somewhat disappointed: there were lots of ladyboy acts, very few male acts, and the guys who were there just weren’t my type. Because of that, I’d stayed away for a long time. But a forum member mentioned that things had improved quite a bit, so I decided to go take a look. When I arrived, the first (early) show—which starts around 9:45 PM—was already underway. I saw a few people sitting there, but I quickly realized that, in fact, they were all staff. There was only one other guest. Yet, they had gone ahead and started the show anyway. I became guest number two. It’s always a bit awkward, being practically the only person watching a show. I was pleasantly surprised by the show itself. The ladyboys generally performed entertaining numbers (though, in my opinion, there were perhaps a bit too many ladyboy acts in the show overall); the male dancers did a great job and occasionally engaged in some playful, flirtatious interaction. Light effects and visuals on the big screens on stage where also nice. The more erotic numbers were partly original and partly the kind of thing you see everywhere. The guys performing these erotic acts also engaged in some pleasant, friendly interaction from time to time. The "quality" of the guys present was also significantly better than before—just as the forum member who gave the advice had already noted. There were actually quite a few who were just my type. Some of them made flirtatious contact while up on stage—wearing their number tags, shirtless, but with long pants (jeans) on. A number of them had also taken part in the "cock parade" during the erotic show, so even though they were wearing long pants now, I already knew exactly what quite a few of them had to offer... What struck me during the "big cock show" was that many of the guys were wearing multiple condoms, one on top of the other—you could even see air trapped at the tip of the condom, meaning the penis inside was smaller than the condom itself, which had essentially been "inflated." One guy was bold enough to show off his equipment without a condom; he certainly had nothing to be ashamed of. He also took part in various erotic acts. During one of the acts, he tried to persuade me to come up on stage and sit on a chair. I stayed put—and a good thing, too! When none of the other guests dared to do it, one of the waiters was placed in the chair instead. The guys performed a sexy dance for him—and with him—which even involved lifting up his shirt and things like that. Well, I’m glad that wasn’t me; the very thought is a nightmare! In a private setting, that might have been fine, but certainly not with other people watching—even if it was only a small audience. His nerve, combined with the fact that he engaged with me, led me to invite him over—even though I already knew he was a top. I made it clear from the start that I wouldn't be taking him to my hotel, but that I’d be happy to have a drink with him, chat, and feel his six-pack and other muscles. He agreed. We had a really great time together. He was a guy from Cambodia—from Battambang. Maybe he’s a neighbor of @jimmie50.... 😂 According to him, there were also a few attractive guys who could play the bottom role. He mentioned some of their tag numbers and even suggested that the three of us—him, me, and a colleague of his who’s a bottom—should head up to my room. I politely declined; I just wasn’t really in the mood that evening. Still, I had a great time. Before I knew it, the third round of shows had already begun. In the meantime, several customers had come and gone. Eventually, I was the only guest left in the bar. I tipped a few of the performers—after all, they were putting on the show just for me—and then decided to head out myself. In short, a very successful rediscovery of Banana! I need to head back there soon—but this time for a guy who can be a bottom.

You should book him as a personal trainer for a one on one session... Ask if he also does massages and see where it leads... Lol. Waiting for your report. 😂

Another trip... Bangkok, Pattaya & Cambodia
After three nights at Le Méridien, it’s time to switch hotels—to one that’s a bit more affordable... Haha. But for my first few nights in Bangkok, I always like to treat myself—to shake off my jet lag in the lap of luxury. After checking out, I spent some time relaxing by the Le Méridien pool and had lunch there. By late afternoon, dark clouds began rolling in, and I could hear thunder in the distance. It was time to head to my next hotel, Quater Silom, before the heavy rain started. For my two-night stay, I had requested a room in the hotel’s detached building—a spot where you could discreetly bring guys back to your room without having to pass by the reception desk. As it turned out, I was assigned a room in the main building instead. I didn’t mind, though, because I’d noticed a notice at reception stating that painting work was being carried out in the separate building, which might cause some disturbance. By the way, the passageway from Soi 6 leading directly to the separate Quater Silom building has now been blocked off by a partition. It seems you might still be able to pass through a door in the partition if you have a hotel key card, but you can no longer bring guys in discreetly via that route. It was still raining when I started to get hungry. Fortunately, I had come prepared, so I took my umbrella out of my suitcase. Parts of Soi 6 were flooded—the water was ankle-deep. Luckily, it was mostly possible to make my way through the soi with dry feet by using the parking areas along the road and the higher sidewalks. By the time I arrived at G's, the rain had just stopped. Since there were hardly any other customers due to the rain, it was very easy to find a spot on the terrace, where I could enjoy a meal while watching the people passing by along the soi. I ordered one of Guido’s signature schnitzels. Delicious.
