I’m talking about the days when Tawan had a huge stable of beautiful muscle boys who were friendly and playful. They would sit next to you and flirt. There were the superstars who were well known and discussed on gay Thailand websites. Those were the days!
I was last in Bangkok in January 2019, peak season. Customers weren’t scarce but boys in terms of quantity and more importantly quality were scarce bordering on non existent. Despite what this might read like I’m not being negative just reporting the facts.
The consensus seems to be that the internet has all but destroyed the bar scene.
I’m not exaggerating but there was only a few, heavily tattooed overweight “boys”. As I have written here in the past anyone walking in for the first time would have assumed it was a chubby chasers bar. A tragic shadow of its former self.
