When they put t-shirts back on after dancing, they soak up the perspiration. Adds a certain intimacy.

Ah, I was hoping they might have removed their jeans!

Thanks for the reports, sounds an interesting addition to the scene and a fun night out.

Any recent experiences at Dragon & Koi Bar? Sounds like a fun place and the description reminds me a bit of Space Hair bar in Phnom Penh.

I walked past last week.  Not many customers.  Boys dancing on floor  , not bar.

Interesting. Was that over the weekend? I suspect all the bars will be busy next week given it’s Chinese new year and a lot of people will be visiting the city.

You can always ask. Nothing ventured, nothing gained (with proper tip, of course).

The toilet is located in a back room.

OK. I assume room is just toilet, not for other activities!

To quote another member, "go and see for yourself."

Just sitting with these guys provides an enjoyable experience. They know how to please if you give them the chance.

Like in the Golden Cock, in the old days?

No, like Dragon and Koi nowadays. 😊

I'm not sure what @reader meant by "know how to please" but this bar is a drinking and conversation bar. I think the boss frowns on zippers coming down. The front door is always open to the street.

That's why I assumed it was not like the old Golden Cock. My post was a sort of joke, and I didn't understand @reader either.

Never said anything about zippers coming down or going up.

The best way to find out what it's like is to go there, buy a boy a drink and talk about whatever comes up.

You found out what Golden Cock was actually like by going there. You got to experience Green Massage by going inside and sampling the wares.

Carpe diem!

FYI: clip recorded, with the boys' consent, in my last stopover in Bangkok three weeks ago. That time, I only visited Fresh Boys and Dragon Koi.

1. I sat and talked with three boys (one straight and two gays, two of them actually invited themselves to the table and talked just a bit, so I did not buy them drinks but did give them tips). 

2. There are 3 gay boys at the time (2 dancing and 1 waiting tables, the latter looks a bit chubby and apparently doesn't want to take off his shirts and dance), the rest is straight. The gay ones all share a room nearby.

3. Customers choose a drink for the boy from a dedicated menu. I let the boy choose a drink himself so he picked a 399B drink and (thoughtful of him) checked back with me if the drink is too expensive. Boys get 100B cut from the drink (regardless of the drink price), so buying boys more expensive drinks doesn't mean they get more money. In other words, buying a boy 2 299B-drinks is better than 1 699B-drink.

4. Boys I talked to all willing to go with a customer after work (bar closes at 3 am or earlier when the last customer left). The one who sat with me from the beginning also chooses customers. He said he made enough on tips for just dancing and talking, so doesn't feel compelled to go with just anyone. He said he turned down three offers from the previous night alone. Boy "accidentally" showed me a picture of his penis on the phone. I was impressed (big size for such a slim body). He's a top but can bottom. When I said goodbye with no intention for further actions, he jokingly claimed "but you saw my cock" as if it's some liability.

All in all, pleasant experience. No wonder, @reader got hooked

Hook, line and sinker....😋

These are not bashful guys, waiting for you to make first move.

Glad to hear you had a good time.

I don't mean to sound like a wet blanket, but what struck me about the video was how empty of customers the bar was. I think there were only 2 in the far corner.

[Keithambrose]

What does a wet blanket  sound like? Interesting concept. 

 

However your point is a good  one. You need customers, and i don't  think those large semi circular booths are suitable for single guys.

My point too. The layout of the bar is not conducive to the experience that the owners wish to craft for single customers, it’s better for groups.

BF and i dropped in late Tuesday night as there was a very cute guy at the door

Stopped for a drink with the door boy and another Myanmar boy. Unfortunately this was after 1.5 bottles of whiskey in Good Boys and I had a flight home the next morning so didn't get to know the boys too well, but it seems that they are all from Myanmar and speak pretty decent English, the 2 guys we met were very charming and engaging.

I have promised myself and the boys i will to drop in again on my return!

A bit. Space boys are more hunky ( sigh !) and music level is more conductive to conversation. On another hand it seems it's easier to hook up with Dragon guys and they are, actually dancing.
