I often wonder, with the regular price just costing 400-500 baht anyway, why bother even packaging it up as bulk deal. Is the clientele of Saphan Khwai shops are that price sensitive to 100baht? This type of marketing doesnt seem to make sense to me. If anything, they can try to upmarket the boys- better photo, etc.

A Krubb event next week as sample, looks 🔥. Looks to be a model with 8000+ followers

Hi All, wanted to share some of my research into Bangkok sauna group events which seems to follow a clockwork. Krubb in particular has models / OF stars appearing on the signature Fire party event which involve a Go Go dance and really ‘open invitation’ for a group activity. I am thinking of just going there during my visit and just walk around and be a fly in the wall lol 😂 For the all men onsen, think it is primarily for gay cruising spot although it can just be a place just to chill/relax and window shop for eye candies. I am not too sure about the prevalence of MB in these spots - my guess that its not too common. Gay Saunas Schedule Friday: 39 Underground (Mask Party) Saturday: Krubb (Fire Party) Sunday: Sauna Mania (Foam Party) Monday: R3 (Mask Party) All Men Onsen listing Kaikan Onsen - well reviewed - seems clean and more popular than the others Kino Sento Maxwell Onsen Zen Onsen Ryuu Onsen

Thanks for sharing! All in all, luck, position of the shop, and to some degree your skills to get your masseur in the mood @reader 🤣 plays a factor. In rare occasions, I also noticed some dont eat the snake (but not mind receiving them) - this is probably more prone in a soft shop. (They only do S versus SS) As a fellow side myself, with H taken out of equation, I think @macaroni21 advice of keeping it to 60 minutes especially in type 3 or 4 shops is good idea.

@bkkmfj2648 point about the boy’s reluctance to kiss is interesting. Based on my crude math reading reviews, many bous are open to anything but kissing perhaps about 30%’of the time. @reader, @macaroni21 - is that consistent with your experience either in Saphan Kwai or beyond?

Thanks for sharing all these trip reports and made it so immersive to the reader 🤣

@vinapu, can you comment on the quality of boys at Prince in terms of age group, selection - I am guessing they are more similar to Arena? Also my sense is Senso has probably more younger therapist.

@vinapu, thanks for sharing and I like the fact through your travels and multiple encounter with multiple boys and which some you reportedly were great, you continue to maintain that boundary (like you said, if you seek love - rent it). Especially that you are also looking for that experience through LT but nonetheless still recognize that boundary.

This is really interesting insight. Looking forward to the report.

O wow, I didn’t realize you can off a boy that early (9 or so). I always thought they need to do a number at the end or something but I guess unless theyre like the Moonlight model, not all of them are needed on stage other than catwalk. Good to know @vinapu.

The massage parlour scene which I have been investigating 😅.. and maybe the sauna. I will still check out some of the gogo scene, but will probably not stay too late (say 11?). Is that too early to off anyone…

I am in my late 30s and absolutely I need 7-8 hours of sleep when travelling and a morning person In Bangkok this would mean that I might miss most of the go-go scene or even offing anyone for that matter which I am fine with…

I recently saw a news reporting documenting how hard it is to visit China these days with all payments going through WeChat and that there is no Google service in the country including map. Ticket to Forbidden City need to be bought by an app with Chinesse number Also, do you know when you visit a hotel in China you have to report yourself to local police in 24 hours? Report by CNBC

Thanks @vinapu for sharing the story. I definitely symphatize with your story on how day #2 ended - and it shows that we are all just humans, with feelings, and that is true even for the most battle tested veterans among us!!! 💪 I think there could be hundreds of explanations why he needed to go that morning and does not last till next day and none has nothing to do with you. Some could be entirely benign like if he has someone to take care of at home or maybe he needs his “medication” (who knows). We all know that these boys don’t live the most ideal life, and one way or the other, they may have a challenging life on their own. Although we sometimes don’t see that on the surface, we know that they may struggle in the background. In the end though, it doesn’t really matter. On to the next stamp collecting. Have fun and looking forward to hearing more of your adventures!!!

I think this kind of sporadic raids do occur but topically not targeted to tourist. I recall 2019 V club 7 raid that cleansed the undocumented worker in that shop..

thanks!! I read that “straight” boys in Saphan would turn down kiss/play and head straight to the action, is that true in your experiende ?

Is there a catch to the low price at Saphan Khwai shop other than the less than appealing enviro and crappier massage? 🤣 When I am reading the reviews for instance, there masseur in more expensive places tend to give you more play (SS) whereas in Saphan Khwai, you are just down to it rightaway to get it on? (Ie they dont care about quality. Just getting it in and be done) - no “romance” whatsoever with minimum tips;. not sure if anyone can comment on the experience at these shops (kman, phetboy, one, etc) Saphan Kwai massage price is just unbeatable I found. Yes, the price is rundown, but it can cost half as much if not less than say Prince. Glam, Wabisabi. Etc.

I am heading to Thailand and truly being firstimer to wanting to explore the underbelly of Bangkok. Pardon my experience, me (30s male) never really ventured the hardcore place / bath house. My preparation entails taking Prep and Doxyprep for the trip and of course using condoms for anything anal (I am not that into this anyway). My questions are: - do people use condom for oral sex and how common is that being requested ? - do people bring their own condom that fits for instance or just go with the flow as they're readily available - any concern for safe sex once you enter the bathhouse for O-party or group event ? How do you signal if you just want to cuddle and hj and not bottoming lol. - I am guessing kissing is as risky but unless there is visible sign of outbreak then it should be fine? Any other tips to share based on the sensei that have frequented Bangkok based on lessons learned ?

Ignore the website. Check their Twitter (X) account for correct lineup of guys.

Pardon my ignorance. You are right - and can somewhere take between instant approval to even few days. We shall see.

I think undoubtedly these will expedite entry with those gates. Even Indonesia has adopted them to make a hassle free entry experience.

LOL! That is Ryan Reynolds, probably his off fee is 5000 bahts? Very expensive. all kidding aside, their website isnt done it seems as is typical with 99% of massage shops in Bangkok. Instead, look for their X account @glamspabkk

Think this is a classic play with fire (having large sum of valuables) and pay the consequences. In terms of no injury, lots of drugs now available in market like 'Devils Breath' where a few squirms are enough to knock someone out for days or even resulting in death

Is it true for generalization below for guys available at the "grab and go" shop VCK: Gym fit, late 20s/early 30s, fair skinned Arena: Muscular, mature (late 30s), dark skinned Senso: Young, toned, early 20s Prince: Similar to VCK but more mature?
