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 January 3 Posted January 3 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 January 4 Posted January 4 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. reader, Patanawet and jamiebee 3 Quote

It was hard to find an exit out of this situation without being painful or awkward for me or the boy... I don't come here for charity, and if there is a misunderstanding I will extricate myself in a way that is as polite and costs me as little money as possible. About 2022 I went to a Saphan Khwai massage place and asked for a particular boy by his picture from Line. I went to take a shower and wait in the room, and another boy turned up, and he was not my type. I went back to reception and it turns out he has the same name, and the one I was asking for is not available. But that will not do for me, I got dressed, said a few words of comfort, and left, without paying anything. tm_nyc 1 Quote

After all it was NOT a boys fault of being sent to wrong customer. Patanawet, zazzu, jamiebee and 1 other 4 Quote
