The gogo bars of Bangkok have equal appeal, I think, to gay men of any culture. See my story about the Chinese visitor in Fresh Boy in my story https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/2024/09/27/pouffes-ahoy-at-fresh-boy/ This guy took to things like duck to water. It was kind of you to help the first time Chinese tourist! I am surprised that there wasn't a Mandarin-speaking mamasan at Freshboys that night! Every bar has at least one. Quote

I know that Dreamboys definitely has a Mandarin speaking mamasan as they do the announcements in Thai, English and Mandarin as I found out one night whilst listening closely. Quote
Menaughty Posted yesterday at 06:11 AM Posted yesterday at 06:11 AM Interesting information. Question: From what I am reading the guys approaches you or either you call the guy. In the scenario where the guy approaches you, can you just say 'No' directly before the guy tries to sit with you? I know this sounds very rude but why waste money and time on drink and tip. 100 baht tip does not sound too bad though and let the guy go? Quote
vinapu Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago it's "you call the guy ' , either directly or asking mamasan to. It's extremely rare that the guy approaches you on go-go bars and I'd say only endemic to The One(Tawan) and likey Atlas as many their boys migrated there. And even there boy will not sit with you unless invited. Mamassans , sensing newbie are another story . In either case " no, thank you " suffices for an answer . Of course different situation is if you show up in the bar where you offed the same boy few times. As soon as he sees you he may treat you as his property and invite himself to sit beside but even that is not general occurrence. In general they take ' no ' for an answer without much fuss so don't feel terrorized , just go and have fun. No need to tip anybody who did not sit with you unless you want to- this is how I signalize to a boy my interest in him on future visit. Patanawet and jamiebee 2 Quote
