I've been trying to see if I can make this work and I might just do it! Lol Thanks @floridarob for the suggestion and head's up about PVR!

Thanks for the info guys. @floridarob I will be in Colombia before flying to Brazil. I'm still contemplating on whether it would be better to head to SP/Rio or just change directions and fly off to Puerto Vallarta instead 😅

Hi @redxs, hope you had a good time in your trip to Brazil. I was wondering if I could get your (and perhaps other experienced members') input on which of the two would be a good destination for a first timer in Brazil. I'm from Asia and would be making my 1st trip to South America this August. I have about one week to spend either in São Paulo or Rio, and I've been researching on which to pick. From the commercial gay sex scene perspective (not much info online on rates, where to go etc.) as well as the touristy stuff, which would you prefer? Any tips and information would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!

Thanks for the info everyone. I am on HeeSay and I've used the explore function to check out the profiles around where I will be staying. I did notice that there are a lot more twink bottoms in that area. Is that generally the case in HCM? If I'm more into hunky tops, any recommendations of massage places to go? I will definitely checkout Nadams too, and thanks @Moses for the info on the rates. Appreciate it a lot.

Hi guys, Not sure if this should be posted here or at the Escort section for members, but just wanted to get some input on the HCM mb scene. Could anyone share what are the average rates like? I saw some advertising on Grindr but are there better places to get one (maybe massage shops or gogo bars like in Bangkok)? This would be my first time to HCM so would appreciate your input on this.

And yet, after the show is over, the waiters and papasan would go around asking customers to off the models that remained (as they did with me on this trip) 🤣

I always wonder what's the logic behind this.

+1 I would always visit this bar in all my visits, mainly to appreciate the beauty of the models and their well choreographed performances. Just need to add offing a guy from there to this. Perhaps an invitation to sit for a drink first would be good, just to get a feel of whether they are even interested.

That could be the case or it could be a number of other reasons. Whatever it may be, I hope they both got something good out of the arrangement. My objective for the next trip - try and off a guy from Jupiter 🤣

Jupiter The entrance fee is THB 500. Unlike my previous trip in November last year, the bar had a sizeable number of female customers (some of whom were quite rowdy during the shows). The boys and shows were pretty much the same. I think I have a crush on the cute singer who would usually perform a few sets before the show starts. 😬 There was this young looking twunk customer at the bar that I took notice of because he kept changing seats. When the show was close to starting, a model just walked in wearing street clothes (presumably from a previous off). Upon seeing this model, the twunk almost jumped out of his seat to catch the nearest papasan, talking while pointing at the model. Not sure what was the discussion but the papasan was shaking his head a lot and the twunk went back to his seat. A little while after that, the twunk again went to talk to the same papasan and after some time, I saw the model went to join the twunk (who, at this point, was smiling ear to ear) at his seat. My assumption (which could be completely wrong) is that the model was initially not available but after some persuasion, the twunk was able to get the model. I was actually impressed by how assertive and persistent the twunk was but I also noticed the uncomfortable look on the model's face. I hope they ended up having a mutually enjoyable night.

I'm sure you can ask them. Personally, I prefer them with nothing on 😛

Hi guys, Just came back from a trip to Bangkok. It was mainly for work so I did not get to do much with the gogo/massage scene but thought I'd share what I did manage to do. There were two main things I at least wanted to do on this trip; checking out the Tawan situation personally and checking out the Sol bar which I've passed by so many times in my previous trip but never walked in. 😅 I am happy to say that I accomplished both. Tawan On Tawan, I've shared my findings here. Hopefully, that answered some questions a few of the members here had. Sol I checked out Sol just once on this trip. The entrance fee was THB 450. The layout of the bar was quite nice, spacious stage and floor but there's an annoying pillar at the middle-front of the stage which kind of blocks part of the stage depending on where you sit. The boys were a mixed bunch, but most consisted of str8 looking twinks. There were a few older guys who are lean/muscular and there's one guy who, if I'm not mistaken, was from Tawan quite some time back. The show was the usual mix of the drag, sexy show and big cock show (the movements they used for their "sexy dance" is pretty much the same as with most other bars except Jupiter, which makes me wonder if they are trained by the same coach, or if that's just the Thai version of a sexy dance 😅). There were only 2-3 other customers there aside from me, so the boys were trying hard to secure an off (which can be a bit uncomfortable). Overall, it's not my kind of bar but the twink lovers here might actually enjoy it. I'll continue with some brief update Jupiter, Moonlight, Hotmale and Dreamboys a little later.

Just one observation on the guys. On one of the nights I visited them, most of the boys were not there. I asked the doorman and he said they went to drink and dance at a nearby place. So, maybe we're the ones worrying to much about them? 🤔

I think his name is Dee, but not 100% sure. According to him, he's not one of the regulars at Tawan before and would only be there 2-3 times in a week as a model. You can always just go to the guys and choose from those available there.

It's likely the same one. 🙂

Managed to off one of the guys. ST tips - 3000, little higher than what I'd normally pay for ST (ard 2500) but taking into account that there's no off fee or drink charges, it's actually cheaper than the usual off. The experience was good, some muscle worshipping and good fun. The former doorman now plays the role of papasan and negotiated the fees for some of the guys who have limited English skills. The guy told me that apparently, the reason for the closure was because of one of the twinks they added in their roaster (who was apparently underage?) which resulted in the owner's name being blacklisted. So, the plan to reopen supposedly now involves a proxy who will use his name instead, and they've supposedly completed inspecting the venue for reopening. Anyway, that's his version of what he heard.

I can confirm @Mapraou info. I met with the Tawan guys last night at the 7-Eleven near the former Tawan where the guys hangout as previously reported by @roughjock. Most of them looked like they've seen better days. The cheeky former tout/doorman from Tawan "suggested" that I joined them for drink (which means that I need to go buy a drink from 7-Eleven and some drinks for the guys too) and I happily obliged 🤣. Some info I got from them: 1. The guys hanging out there are available for "offs". I saw a few of them trying to catch the attention of the ladies passing by 🤣. That former doorman was also heavily pushing for me to off one of the guys there and then 😅. The down side is that, since we were in the street and with their full clothes on, you can't really tell if they've been maintaining their bodies or which one appeals to you the most. 2. The bar is said to be open again towards the later part next month but as with all news in Thailand, take it with a pinch (or in this case, a spoonful) of salt. Looking to off one or two of them in the following nights, hopefully for me to have a good time and to show support for the guys from one of my favourite bars. 🙂

Kuala Lumpur has a lot gay saunas, and there's one gay club that I know of in Bukit Bintang. There used to be a few more but not sure if they are still around after Covid. Plenty of guys on the apps, with most MBs from Indonesia. While homosexuality is illegal in Malaysia, there are quite underground gay communities in different cities, KL & Penang being the liveliest imo. In Cambodia, I personally prefer Phnom Penh due to the number of gay bars and how friendly the guys at the bars are. Spacebar is my fav.

Hi @asdsrfr, Can i ask which area in Medellin are you staying at? I have a trip planned in a couple of months but I'm struggling to settle on a location to stay at. I've checked a couple of hotels in El Poblado (most have some kind of restrictions on bringing guests in) so might need to look at airbnb instead. Appreciate any recommendations you may have.

It should be. Good luck and we hope to hear some positive news on the Tawan boys from you later 😁😁😁

Some have suggested that the Tawan guys are still hanging around the closed bar at night. If you have the chance to check it out, do let us know.

Your experience with B reminded me of a similar incident I experienced in my first trip to BKK (also with a model from Jupiter). Handsome guy with a muscular body, but when we got back to my room, he doesn't really wanna do anything other than receiving a BJ (with a condom on) and let me feel/play around with his body. After sending him off, it sorta left a bad taste but lesson learned. From that point, I would always ask the boys what they can do at the bar itself, before taking them out. If there's no indication of interest from the boy at the bar, I wouldn't bother no matter how hot he may be.

Hopefully they'll be hanging out there and accepting ST/LT offers before the bar reopens. I need my my muscle boys 😭

The closest alternative (though not quite the same) would probably be Arena massage, or the Moonlight models (real pricey though). I'm still holding hope that they will announce a re-opening, maybe at a new place or something (and hopefully before my upcoming trip) 🙏🙏🙏.

I've only ever gone to Screwboys once in all the times I've gone to BKK. Looks like I should pay this bar a visit in the month's trip 😛
