@RavenFlock Thank you for the report on Jey Spa. We appreciate the effort you spent on making one and you are good with your writing and thanks for the update on the current rates there. We are eagerly waiting for the rest of your trip report but please make sure you enjoy your time in Bangkok first and have a great time soaking in the experience 😁👍

Thanks @hank75, I usually stay away from Onsens because all the guys I see going in have nice bodies, I don't want to go there and stick out like a sore thumb.hahaha Ohhh I already have my trip and stay booked 😁 👍 I will be arriving a week after Songkran to avoid the water flights. @RavenFlock Hope we see a Trip report here soon! 😁👍

ST (Short-Time 1-2hrs ) and LT (Long-time overnight or until breakfast) are terms used when offing someone from the bars or may also apply for Money boys from the apps. For Massage shops - they are categorized as S(soft) , SS (super soft), H (Hard) depends on what the masseurs are known to be willing to do. For Spas or Onsens - I have no idea hahaha because I don't go to them since I'm very body self conscious as I'm a bit of a chub. Since you are more on side stuff I recommend searching the forums for Massage places like Prince, SSense, Senso, History of Massage, Jey Spa, etc. these places are mostly have masseurs hunks. If you are looking for twinks then you can search the forum for Massage shops in Saphan Khwai..

Will be in Manila 24-27 April before flying to Bangkok 😋

Aside from the limited spots for fun 😉😉, the problem with underdeveloped mass transportation, ever so choosy drivers in Ride-Hailing apps like Grab and others, Problem back home in the Philippines is that it is more expensive even for locals to travel other part of the Philippines than international flights like say to Taiwan, Thailand or other neighbors in the SE Asia. 😑 Including accommodation costs, like AirBnBs and Hotels. Especially Hotels! I am working in a Hotel as a Front Office Manager in a 4star Hotel and rates in the Philippines are not worth the money for product/service they are offering. I haven't stayed more that 7 days a year back home since 2023. Oh and The vloggers I've seen in the news got arrested, jailed and will be deported were those blatantly disrespectful calling the locals monkeys and potentially causing some harm pranks like vitaly did. But Vitaly has plenty money and had it easy in prison that's how corrupt the current Philippine system is right now.

I like the Quarter Silom too especially the Tower 3 as it does not pass directly through the reception desk, but the walls are paper thin you can hear the next room chatting and the doors are slamming hard somewhat because of air pressure somewhere.

Nice another muscle type connoisseur like myself 👍👍😸 For gogo bars, the Atlas bar is currently closed and only option is Than Tawan Bar where the boys moved back to. Try to visit Dreamboys Bar too, I found a few boys there last time that I somehow fits in the muscular boys that I prefer.

Just sharing.. Just saw this in one of my feeds and found it funny bordering ridiculous.

Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁 to everyone and wishing you all good health and bountiful New Year! 🎊

Thank you for the update ☺️

Thank you for the detailed trip report 😃 🙂

Like every year since 2023 for my birthday getaway, maybe around 3rd or 4th week of April 2026 after the tourist craze of Songkran passed and just before the rainy season start. May visit for about 7-10 days, this is just after spending a few days visiting back home in the Philippines.

I saw this update: It's confirmed - the festival runs from Nov 9 to Dec 23, 2025! This year, there will be no fireworks, but a stunning drone light show will light up the sky in honour of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. Main show location: Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) Showtime: Around 7:50 PM, with an extra 9:15 PM show on select nights The festival will feature nightly light displays and riverside activities a calmer yet beautiful celebration along the Chao Phraya River.

There are plenty. Definitely in Saphan Khwai area, though I don't have first hand experience since those are not my type but plenty of Trip reports here points to that area along with recommendesd Massage shops. I believe they have in lower range in Tips like 1000-1500. There are also some massage shops with Twinky to hunky type in Silom Soi 6 like Paradise, 9-teen, nature, etc. that I always passby when I was staying in The Quarter Silom hotel couple of years back. I also recommend reading @macaroni21blog https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/massage-shops/

In Arena, If I remembered correctly aside from the actual cost of the 1.5hrs aromatherapy session, I believe the minimum tips is 1000 bath for 1hr session. I'm giving around 1500 to 2000 tips to the therapist, depends on how satisfied I am. For Arena, there are no twinks, only hunks and some on the mature muscly types. The manager/mama-san there is very helpful if there is something in particular you are looking from a therapist.

Ayutthaya Historical tour and Death Railway tour in Ratchaburi were one of the things I missed during my last visit this past April. I didn't know cruising back to Bangkok by boat is also an option. Thank you for your Trip review, it gave me more ideas where to go and what to do on my next trip. 😁

Arena is a MUST visit 😁 👍

History of Massage = muscles guys ??? Updating my To do list 🤭

All Trip reports are greatly appreciated!

Yeah, people don't go there for a legit massage. Those negative reviews does not reflect my experience there at all.

Woah 😳 good for you. When you said with glasses I immediately thought of Dee. When I was there last May I was not able to see Dee even once at all 😐. Had a pleasure to have him on my previous visits, he was always the one I chose for majority of that time and he really does not disappoint. He's so gentle and humble yet will drill you hard and rough when you asks him to 😁. He's one of the veterans of original Tawan of the yesteryears. I have been to Beef a couple of times when they were still in their old location in Soi 4, now they are in Silom Edge but I haven't been yet. It's a dance club more on socializing catering to bears and those who appreciates them 😍. They have themed nights too and some events, loved their K-POP nights it was so fun. But it's way too crowded at times. You can check them out in their social media platforms too, BEEF.bkk

I really love reading a fellow forum member having the same preference for big bulky guys. Thank you for the update on Atlas and Tawan. And more so, thank you for the Trip report. 🫡

I've seen @macaroni21 post a Silom/Surawong/Patpong Map previously, this where most of the gay bars are primarily located in Bangkok along with some massage parlors too. Try using the forums search bar or Try visiting macaroni's blog: https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/

💯 Agreed. Each and every one has different types that appeals to them. All comes down to individual taste how one's experience will be affected by one's criteria. One may have great experience as it matches his type/desire while other may get a disappointment of a lifetime. I'm sure somewhere in Bangkok/Thailand will have something to offer that fits exactly what you are looking for, or you maybe already have found one. Hope you enjoy/enjoyed your trip as much as I did. 🥰👍

It definitely did. Worth it. Won't have it any other way. 🥰
