Notes from recent Bangkok trip

[Raposa]

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.

I have not been to the other building. What's special about the rooms there?

I liked the atmosphere at Banana Room yesterday but don’t recall seeing # 29.  What is so special about him?
