I have been on this forum for a while and read up on the latest information when I’m about to take a trip to Thailand. I have posted very little, but thought that I might share my experiences at the 2 clubs that are talked about the most on this forum – Moonlight and Jupiter.


 
My sincere gratitude to all the posters on this forum who have willingly shared their experiences about their visits to Thailand and kept members updated on the latest information about the clubs/ massage places. Plus, shared information on a myriad of other topics that are very useful for the first timers as well as seasoned visitors. Some of the posters have written amazing trip reports, sharing vital information. My hats off to you all!

 
I am currently in Bangkok, staying at a hotel on Thanon Surawong – a hotel that is familiar to most of the forum members.

 
Bit about my flights to Bangkok before I talk about the Clubs…
I flew in from N America very late on Christmas day. The trip was very long (for me) - more than 20 hours flight time, including a stopover in Seoul. Service on the North American airline was decent. The flight attendants (mix of male & female) were reasonably attentive. The meal served was also decent.
The 2nd leg of the journey - flight from Seoul to Bangkok was on Korean Air. I had to transfer from Terminal 1 to 2 in Seoul, taking 2 short shuttle trains from one terminal to the other. Signs in English were good and those staffing the Information Booths were also very helpful. The younger flight attendants (all female, expect one) on this flight were very polite and friendly. However, not very attentive when the meal was served. Example: bread was not served to all with the meal, even though butter was on the tray. The meal was also so-so.


 
With the long journey, it took me 2 days to recover fully from the travel. I will likely break my journey next time I travel. I have always done that in the past - even if I have to go through immigration, check into hotel and get used to the new temporary surroundings for a day or 2.

 
I went to Moonlight on Sunday night and to Jupiter on Monday night. Both clubs were packed during showtime. I went to both the clubs early (around 9:15 pm) to get a decent seat.

 
My comments about the 2 clubs:


Facilities: The cover charge for both the Clubs was 500 Baht, which includes 1 drink. Jupiter looked larger than Moonlight. Both seem to have similar size stages, but Jupiter has a short “catwalk”, where the boys parade.  I found the seating at Moonlight better, as I could sit on one the couches at the back. There are similar couches at Jupiter, but these are closer to the stage and were full by the time I got there. I was able to select the seat at both places – on the couch at Moonlight and stool at Jupiter, providing decent views of the stages.

 
The sound level at both locations was fine, not at ear-bursting level. The temperature at Moonlight was comfortable, but it was freezing at Jupiter. I left very soon after the first show at Jupiter since I was freezing. It took me several minutes to warm up outside in the hot weather.

 
Host Greeting: Friendly greeting at both locations. At Moonlight, the mamasan recognized me right away from my last visit earlier this year, in January. He sat with me few times, pointing out the boys who are my type. He was not pushy about offing a boy. I tipped him at the end for his help. At Jupiter, the hosts left you alone and did not come by to ask about offing any boys.

 
Clientele: Most of the audience was Chinese at both locations. I would say, at Jupiter it was almost 90%, with about 10% females. I noticed very few females at Moonlight.

 
The Boys:

The Mamasan at Jupiter said there were 40 boys at the Club that night. At Jupiter, there were 25 boys in the parade. Some may have already left with clients.
I found the boys at Moonlight a mix of next-door type and ones with well defined bodies. The boys at Jupiter were more handsome (to me) and had very good, well defined bodies.


 
At Moonlight, they did not smile much and did what they needed to, when parading on the stage. On the other hand, the boys at Jupiter paraded like models – similar to what you see at a fashion show – so more professional in that regard. The boys at Jupiter also smiled more.

 
The Shows:
At both Clubs the show started at 10:30 pm. At Moonlight, it lasted more than an hour. At Jupiter, the initial show was only 30 mins. I did not stay for the 2nd part as it was freezing in there, with the A/C on at full blast. I had to get out!


 
I found the show at Moonlight more creative and unique, with elaborate costumes. At Jupiter except for a couple of acts, it was lip synching to songs and some dances. The dancing by boys at Moonlight was average, even with elaborate costumes and the unique acts. The boys at Jupiter were more in sync with the music and their dancing bit more professional.

 
The acts at Moonlight were very different from the ones I saw about a year ago. The ones at Jupiter seemed pretty much the same as few months ago, except for the act with the boy doing a dance routine with a hula hoop. Even the songs seemed to be same at Jupiter.

 
All in all, I would say that for me, Moonlight was a better experience, even though the boys at Jupiter were hotter! The full blast A/C may have something to do with that experience.

 
I will try and visit some of the other clubs during the rest of my stay in Bangkok and try and give my impressions of those visits, in case folks here found this posting interesting.

I was in India earlier this year. Spent few days in Mumbai and then spent more time in Kerala. 
My experience was similar when I changed location to Mumbai on Planet Romeo... received number of messages. I met one guy, an IT professional, that way.
On Grindr, it was even more active. Every time I logged in, I had 15-20 messages. Many of them don't show their pictures in the profiles. They post pictures from other websites. If it's their own pic, then they will specify that dp (display picture) is their.
I also had many guys contact me while I was in a smaller town in Kerala. So, overall an active scene in many parts of India.
I found that most folks in the hospitality industry speak decent English.

First time posting here. I have been on this site for a while, reading up on the information shared by all the members.
That information has been invaluable on deciding what to do and which clubs to visit in Pattaya and Bangkok.
I will share my experiences at a later date.
I am presently in Bangkok, after visiting Pattaya for few days. I was also at Moonlight last night. Jasper has already shared the details on last night's show.
I am glad that I read the forum reports before I went to the club and knew about Nicky. After his performance, he came to my seat and he made some small talk, but I mostly ignored him as he's not my type. Too muscular for my liking. He asked if I would buy him a drink and I politely declined. He left to look for other customers.
I talked to the mamasan about type of boys I like and he suggested some. I sat with a guy I liked and offed him. Again based on all the information shared here, I knew what to expect in terms of tips for the guy.
Once again, amazing information being shared here on this forum and I will share my experiences of the full trip at a later date
