6000 for full 24 hours, not just half day. Usually in Bangkok you would land on 4000 for LT lasting 8 to 12 hours.

Thanks for the latest installment of your series of reports. Hope you enjoy Bangkok again. Try a foot massage from around 1pm at either Avarin or Green massage. Most boys come at around that time and then you have the time to leisurely check them out.

Bangkok: between 4000-6000

Banana Room Club: Former #41 from Freshboys is now #29 here. Their emphasis is on the show and unlike Jupiter they have both gay and straight acts, likely to set them apart. This includes an act where marshmallows are placed on a man’s body and guests are invited to eat directly. There was some discussion on this forum whether the infusion of straightness into the bar shows are to be applauded or not. Looking at the crowds at Banana club, they seemed to gather a younger and mixed crowds compared to say Freshboys or Dreamboys. Younger gay couples brought their female friends and both sets seemed to enjoy themselves. I speculate whether this is a cohort effect whereby younger gay crowds are more relaxed about this and prefers mixed shows where they can also bring their straight friends to. Freshboys, Goodboys and Dreamboys: Still going strong, fully packed and a mostly Asian crowd. There are pushy mamasans at Goodboys who ask for tips all the time. I note that the semicircular tables at Dreamboys were packed with patrons and their boys and there was a genuine fun vibe in the bar that wasn’t present in the other two. Dragon and Koi Few customers at the start of the evening but it seems to be more after midnight. Only possible to off boys after bar closes. If you come here early it is most fun if you bring a few friends to fill the semi-circular tables and invite the boys over. I don’t think the layout of the bar is the most conducive to the experience they would like to craft for guests. Moonlight: Nice show but fewer guests. Bar was not full. Models looking good as always. Mr. Boss not in attendance. Hotmale Went to Hotmale bar with @12is12, thanks for the drinks! Massage: Good experiences at Ssense (Suan Plu) and Avarin massage (Silom). For Ssense try to specify when you book through Line that you want the VIP rooms in the other building. Also had breakfast with forum member at Foodland and were able to compare notes.

The market is glutted with shops offering mostly straight top freelancers (tattooed). I haven’t bothered to review any of these as they don’t have something that sets them apart from the rest. Mostly it is about convenience and cleanliness of location. Mandel spa, for example, is different as they offer unique services from the many other shops with their emphasis on sports massage and stretching (in addition to soft supplementary services.)

Much has been written about the old number 41 from Freshboys, that he has retired from the scene. I am happy to report that he was seen at Banana Club yesterday as number 29.

Would it help if I said they were Japanese themed gay saunas and places for non-transactional fun? The models you see advertised will appear at events and will often be available for fun with participants afterwards.

@Menaughty Did you mean to post that somewhere else?

Hi, I recommend that you download Papago app. It can translate from text, images and speech and covers the major languages of Asia. The first guy is also known as SemenX, he’s a well known porn actor and you can find many of his movies if you causally search some of the appropriate search engines that are fit for purpose. Regarding the third guy, Bank, he is also available at Aurora Spa. You might find the new therapist there, Ram, to be your type too:

Activity ramps up after 6pm. Don’t use IG to follow these onsens, you will find that X is where they can be more explicit and also provide links to the X accounts of the models they occasionally host.

Whether or not you will be thrilled to be back depends on your own attitude and not necessarily what Bangkok has developed into. You will find that, as Vinapu rightly points out, public transportation is better and that there’s a lot of new offerings. Since you say you're in reasonable shape and in early 40s, go explore the new onsens like Zen and Ryuu onsens, they have different and young, local crowds. However, be aware that Bangkok has a higher cost of living than Rio or SP. I assert this based on objective criteria, that is the calculations made by international organizations and firms when computing salaries for expats. Brazil is the cheaper alternative. If you find yourself constantly making comparisons to Brazil, the price level, the culture of communication (which is often indirect in Thailand), the perceived skill of the boys etc. If you are prone to making comparisons like this and are highly price sensitive, then this is likely to sour your experience of coming back. If that is the case, then perhaps reconsider the trip. Your experience will be mediated by whether you choose to approach it with an open mind or through jaded eyes. If you choose the former the experience can be sweet: «the meditation of old times resumed» as Walt Whitman would put it. Good luck with your decision!

I can provide a recommendation as this is a specific request. Nickermann’s tailor in the basement of the Landmark hotel close to Nana BTS.

If anyone has some good contacts like this but in Phnom Penh, please send me a DM.

I went to Jupiter last week together with a regular from another place. We both enjoyed the show. I identified at least two boys from Jey Spa among the line-up.

In Bangkok, Myanmar guys speak good enough English. Laotian is closely related to Thai so people from Laos often understand Thai quite well after staying in Thailand for a short while. Incidentally some Myanmar guys are from the Shan states and their language is closely related to Thai as well. It is often referred to as Tai-Yai in Thailand. I will let others speak about their experiences with Cambodian guys.

Especially in the weaker economies of SE Asia, gold is highly valued as the middle classes there don’t really have access to other financial instruments to invest in. In Myanmar and Cambodia, people invest in gold and dollars to safeguard their assets.

Lots of gays in town due to the white party at the same time so no wonder there are many customers for bars.

For other readers I think it is worth emphasising that this is Thailand and not Japan. In Japan you get a detailed menu of choices with appropriate costs. In Thailand things are done differently and some tact and discretion goes a long way.

“Outside only” is a direct translation from Thai. It refers to all activities except penetration. Thais will understand this well, other ethnicities less so.

A veneer of respectability indeed. Thanks for the report gottago.

Many outlets present a veneer of respectability and would not answer directly on such questions. Some cultural knowledge is essential. Looking at their menu, there are a lot of options for different types of oil massages. It gives an inkling of what can go on there.

These are minimum tip rates so a bit extra for good service should be added.

Take this as a rough guide: 600 for a HJ 1000 for a HJ where the masseur is naked 1000-1500 body to body 1500-2000 outside only, Body to body B2B, kissing, HJ ++ but not penetration 1500-3000 Penetration Outside of city centre, prices will be lower. Certain shops cater to a wealthy clientele, whether local or foreign, and you have to expect higher minimum tips in those places.

Please note that boys who are available at both Glam’s and Jey will prefer you book them through Jey…

If you would like to go outside Silom, but not to SK, then Jey Spa in Sukhumvit is definitely an H place. Zoo wellness spa in that area is probably that too, but please note that those are two upscale establishments so minimum tip is around 3000 bath. Boys are model quality and service is consistent. If you want to stick to Silom for full service, then Senso men’s club is your go to place as Ichigo mentioned.
