I had a poor experience in the hotel with T but found him really personable and energetic at the bar, and CERTAINLY a hustler! His brother is so cute, how is his physique lately? They were very competitive at the table with me as well, joking sexually about who is better in an attempt to get me to off both. 

Agree with T being a hustler and he did attempted some of his tricks prior and even more recently. My approach has always been consistent either send him back to the rotation and not invite him to sit with me even when he's giving me googly eyes from the stage or even brazenly approach me to buy him a drink. Overall, he's good company to hang out with outside the bar.

Yes, Min is really cute. He's still on the slender side but I can see he's attempt to bulk up a bit.

I wonder how many people have off’d both brothers

I did but separately. But given how openly they talk about and suggested offing them as a pair, I would say it has happened before.

Are the brothers Vietnamese?

Yes! From Da Nang according to them.

With respect Tawan has long ceased to have that informal charm you refer to. It certainly did in the early 2000’s. It gradually deteriorated with so called boys tattooed, overweight with their heads in their mobile phones oblivious to all around them.

True but I think even with the decline of that "informal charm", given Tawan/The One's small intimate space, the chance of making contact and having small talk with several guys has always been a given every visit. 

Different case with Atlas where the guys have their own spot to congregate and the space to guys ratio is so big it's so easy to be isolated in a corner and be/feel invisible.

considering that my first visit in Tawan was in 2013 certainly my reference point is different. As I already said , I wish boys had their heads in their phones leaving me alone  for  a moment  but that's still unrealized dram for me there

@CallMeLee you and I know the younger brother by a different name.

I realise I know the brothers too. I offed the older brother T last June. I wouldn't call him a hustler. He did ask me for extra 100 baht for taxi money but he was engaging and very fun to be with.

Because I offed T, I didn't want to off younger brother. But he asked me to take him out. No sex. 2k only. And I did. Twice in fact! Intelligent and good company. And he didn't ask for extra taxi money.

Unfortunately, my regular guy is not on good terms with them so no possibility of karaoke or drinks together.

I wonder why. Is it because he knows you took the brothers? Hehe

I think it's because they are from different parts of Vietnam

Yeah, overall T is good company. From my experience, he initially came off as someone who’d try to squeeze as much money as possible from you—but I guess that’s pretty common with bar guys. One incident that stands out: he once claimed I had agreed to pay him 5,000 for an ST, which wasn’t true. That led to him getting sent back to rotation and me offing someone else. Since then, he’s become more of an “up to you” type rather than quoting ridiculous amounts.

One good thing about his “hustling” nature is that when we go out, he always looks after me and makes sure to negotiate prices—he’s worried I’ll get charged tourist rates if I speak English. He’s Vietnamese but speaks Thai fluently, like his brother.

That said, between the two, I find the younger one more endearing and less transactional.
