Gay Thailand

I saw this on my Asean Now feed this morning https://aseannow.com/topic/1360699-viral-video-captures-tense-clash-between-women-competing-for-patrons-in-pattaya/ I guess we are truly in the midst of the low-season..... Can you imagine if the guys in Bangkok or Pattaya did the same thing to get us as a potential customer?

I have been lurking in this forum and have learned many valuable info and insights for my upcoming trip to Bangkok in mid June. Many thanks to all the folks here that have shared their experiences, both good and bad about their time in Bangkok. I do have a question that I have not seen a recent thread on, offing gogo boys after hours. My flight doesn’t come into Bangkok until 23:30. By the time I get to Silom area got to be after 01:00. My understanding is that most of the go go bars closed at 1:00. Are there any possibility of picking up MB after these bars closed? Is it cheaper to off these boys since there are no bar fines?

I’ll be landing in Bangkok on April 6th after a quick two-night side trip from Tokyo! Not the biggest fan of Songkran, but my schedule worked out this way—so here we are. If anyone else is in Bangkok and up for a meetup, let me know! Hoping for an exciting and eventful trip so I’ll have plenty to share in my trip report. Fingers crossed!

Myself and others have been posting from time to time about the massages shops on Sutthian Winitchai Rd. in the Saphan Kwai district. I first started patronizing these shops two trips ago during my return after Covid period. My best count is that there are currently four shops operating. Two (Home and BT House) appear to have more guys available on site, particularly in the evenings. The other two, KK Spa (not to be confused with K-Man near Saphan Kwai BTS), and the new One Spa, rely heavily on “on call” masseurs. All of these shops will make available photos with varying amounts of data. But if you find you have heart set on one particular guy, call or send Lin…

Can someone explain the process, what it is? A place called Foxgy just came across my timeline. I think it used to be called sit2sis? Is it for entertainment, do you take the guy home? Is it a place where you just hang out with a guy and you basically spend all your money? What are the processes, is it worth going?

Having now been there and back again from the UK a few times, I have tried a few different routes/ airlines into BKK and Chiang Mai. I have always found SWISS and Austrian pretty decent - not direct but the transfer is easy and efficient. Recently, I have flown China Eastern which has the advantage of being much cheaper than everybody else, but the Shanghai transfer is always pretty shit. Just wondering what others' favourite routes and airlines are - do you always fly direct or do you take the cost saving and add a transfer on route? I am tempted by Ethiad. I have not done the UK-Thailand route but recently went to Sri Lanka with them and it was very good.

On some occasions,Bangkok ,Manila etc I didn't pay for sex with moneyboys Were those people I met either on the apps (Grindr) or Saunas exactly my type , probably not ,but my "type" changes continually One day I may want an older Asian guy ,to a African guy ,to a young twink So I have been thinking why I pay,💲 and not just surf the apps to meet someone for free ,which I may say in places like Pattaya is very difficult unless your into older guys , although I did meet a young Filipino🇵🇭 guy off Grindr for free I guess it comes down to various reasons I prefer obviously not to pay for sex Obviously if your type is twinks 👦you will be payi…

Planning to be in Bangkok for Songkran, last minute plans had me on a road trip through Chon Buri and Rayong instead. I was glad to have escaped the insane crowds of perfectly sculpted Chinese muscle gods glistening in sweat and targeted sprays from water guns, aimed at their tight white shorts with nothing underneath. I returned to our beloved city of sin, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayutthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit, only to see the crowds dramatically reduced. And hotel rates cut in half. Ah, bliss. i quickly decided to check out A…

From Pattaya News By Adam Judd Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has ordered a comprehensive review of Thailand’s visa-free entry scheme, citing concerns over the rising number of foreign visitors overstaying their permitted duration and engaging in illegal employment, according to government spokesman Jirayu Houngsub on Tuesday. The visa-free program, which allows citizens of numerous countries to enter Thailand for up to 60 days without a visa, has been a cornerstone of the nation’s tourism-driven economy. In 2024, Thailand welcomed over 35 million foreign visitors, contributing majorly to its GDP. However, authorities have reported a growing trend of…

Question for experienced members here. Do you off guys who work in same bar as your regular guy / boyfriend? I have a regular guy but I have the hots for some of the other guys working in the same bar as him. He says he doesn't mind me offing them as long as I promise to stay with him and don't leave him. Do I believe him?

This trip report might just boil down to a few posts, the reasons for not as much to report will become evident soon enough. Leading up to this trip let me indulge you in some context with a brief a life update: I had just recently ended things with a guy I was dating for the past few months back in farangland, it was messy and I always find it incredibly difficult to tell someone I don't want to continue with them, but it had to be done. To add to things on the home front, my work have unfortunately realised I'm more capable than I like to let on, so there has been stress coming from that direction as well. Do you know what I need, a nice little getaway to 'sur…

Gentlemen, I have just returned from Bangkok. My gratitude goes out to all who shared invaluable tips and travel insights, which I studied intently in the month leading up to my journey. Before this, my knowledge of Bangkok was limited to what I had conjured in my imagination, fueled by the song “One Night In Bangkok” that I listened to on repeat as a youngster. As my 30th birthday approached, I desired an adventure, something wildly enjoyable. Impulsively, I bought a ticket to Bangkok, setting off to create an impromptu plan for my trip a month or so before departure. Now, back in the northwest USA, I find myself grappling with jetlag, a mix of sexual exhaustio…

NOTE -- The article goes on to describe the financial boom gay travelers bring to the country but of course omits reasons majority of readers here keep returning. ======== From The Nation Thailand’s LGBTQIA+ community is fast becoming an economic force to be reckoned with, with a new study projecting a 152 billion baht boost to the nation’s GDP this year, fuelled by local spending and a surge in LGBTQIA+ tourism. According to research from Mahidol University’s College of Management (CMMU), more than 5.9 million LGBTQIA+ persons, around 9% of Thailand’s population, are driving a new wave of economic growth. expected to welcome four million LGBTQIA…

Bangkok Post - Pattaya transwoman slain after refusing sex: Chinese suspect

Hi, I understand short term rentals of less than 30days are considered as illegal in Thailand. Hence those bookings which we may book via sites like AirB&B or Booking.com might be a problem. Do any of you have stories to share on issues encountered by yourself or friends etc when booking such a stay? Thank you

Question -- I've got B2B massage in Taiwan before and it was usually straight-up listed on the course options. However, the last (first) time I was in Thailand I never saw that on the offer. Is that something they don't do or is it listed differently? Or do you have to make a special request?

Some guys have more hair than cock.... what's your preference?

A one-hour look at the work of the Australian embassy in Bangkok and the consulate in Bali. This may interest especially expats living in Thailand.

Many times we see in these forums that our fellow posters are making repeated trips to Thailand. Some posters live on this site when they are not there! I first went to Thailand in 1987 as part of larger travels. I think I stayed 4 nights. Baht was 22 to the dollar and I paid about 300 baht per guy. I wished I could stay longer, but I started coming back twice a year as I was just in love with Thailand. I very much liked the Coffee Boy cabins/bar in Chiang Mai. I stayed there many times. A private cabin was $28 a night, and the cutest boys worked the bar, including my all-time favorite guy. It was not right in town but tuk-tuks were always available. Coffee Boy …

Just another quick trip report. One day in Pattaya. Only had time to explore Boyztown. Got a drink at Castro, drag performances and some boy lipsyncing performances, nothing wild. Packed bar, the busiest on the street. Many female customers. Beer 180 thb and cocktails 250 thb if I remember correctly. Some cute boys but nothing sexy about the show. Most fully clothed- actually, maybe even all were clothed? There was a break in the show around 11 and we slip out. Panorama, came here before in 2019. I remember the hosts being very friendly, sit with you, talk to you… this time they were just at the front table chatting with each other. I even made eyes at one, and …

From Conde Nast Traveler The author of this article, Pier Nirandara, began her career as Thailand’s youngest author of three bestselling novels. She is now a travel writer, film producer, and underwater photographer based between Bangkok, Los Angeles, and Cape Town. By Pier Nirandara April 6, 2025 Voted one of your favorite countries in the 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards, Thailand frequently tops travel lists as a country known for its culture of hospitality. Thanks to its tourism-friendly policies—and in part to runaway success of the third season HBO’s The White Lotus—the destination has never been more popular, and interest show…

Ok, this is a question I probably deserve to be ridiculed over, but genuinely cannot figure out if I was in Freshboys or Hotmale the other night. I went up the stairs and at the top of the stairs I turned left into the bar, with the stand seating on the wall to my right that wrapped around the stage. The guys were in white short shorts. The reason I'm asking is that last time I was in Freshboys I could have sworn it was straight ahead at the top of the other set of stairs with a slightly different layout, but I don't recall hearing anything about Freshboys moving locations in the last year and i think i took the wrong staircase but i was not sober/thinking so i …

Following an interesting discussion on the "wai", I wonder if posters have any thoughts about, or even knowledge of the Buddhist beliefs held by the Thais they meet casually or with whom they are in LTRs? Do such beliefs impinge on our relationships in any ways? And are there aspects about which we non-Buddhists should be aware and tread carefully?

First Impressions of Bangkok Alright, posting from Silom, Bangkok, where I have landed in time for the chaos and glory that is pre-Songkran. So, the moment you step out into Silom, the heat hits you like a very moist wall. It’s not just hot—it’s sultry, sticky, and oddly…promising? Within minutes, you’re surrounded by packs of very attractive, mostly Asian guys (we’re talking the full East Asian fantasy—Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese) in tank tops and gym shorts, strutting around like it’s Milan Fashion Week but with more glistening abs. Everyone’s clearly here for Gcircuit, the pool parties, and the upcoming water-soaked madness of Songkran. The vibe? Flirtat…
