imo, i prefer those age around 30 yrs +. just i like mature look guys. few of the boys maintain their muscular. some just lack of shape. yea, its true, they are straight, become gay for pay. however, i don't mind, as long as, they are good on beds.

A rainy Friday night so I headed over to Tawan, thinking there might be very few customers and the guys might  be eager for some tip money. Indeed, when I arrived at 10:15, there was exactly one customer inside. No show, so no cover charge. The guys were wearing street clothes, taking only their shirt off for the on-stage rotation, and looking bored to death. 
I announced that I would buy drinks for any naked boys and immediately had several takers. The only other customer took an off, which left me as the only customer, drinking with a bunch of naked guys. I said I wanted to see a show, so two of them got up on stage and sucked each other's cocks, licked each other all over, etc. It was great fun, they were very good sports about it, and it was much sexier without the silly costumes or masks they normally wear.  In the end, I tipped everybody who had participated, including the DJ and the bartender.
I dropped a couple of thousand baht, but it was worth it for what was essentially a private party, and everybody seemed grateful to have someone actually willing to engage with them. I have been lucky enough to still have work during the virus, so I don't mind sharing a little bit with those who are currently struggling, especially when I get a lot attention in return as I did on Friday. The guys in there have been very good to me over the years and so I was  happy to provide them with a little something during tough times.
I'll probably drop in again in a few weeks and do it again.

I went to the gay bar area tonight. Most places are still closed. The two gogo bars open in the area were Hot Male and DreamBoys. Hot Male had about 15 guys working and they had some customers. They are practicing social distancing at least by putting red x's on the seats. Boys had plastic face shields. Dreamboys has one boy on stage so I didn't try it. There were several beer bars open but they were very slow and not many customers. A walk from that area to Tawan was so quiet as no street vendors and no one begging me to come in for massage.  A soft opening for sure, but look like some places are starting to try to open back up.

Stayed in Furama Silom at the beginning of February and can give worm recommendation for this hotel lovely rooftop swimming pool ,good buffet breakfast , spacious modern rooms ( I booked the deluxe room definitely worth the extra over the regular suppirier ones) about 10 minutes walking from Patpong and the BTS and most important no one cares there about guests coming or going totally guests freindly hotel.

thanks for the info

thanks for the info

I'm just back from 10 days in BKK...Stayed at the Tarntawan and booked it sometime ago after they remodeled , 1200 baht a night net, including tax, service charge and breakfast for 2....I think that's the lowest price I've ever paid there. The staff are all still helpful and friendly. I needed a button sewed on my shirt and the housekeeper did it for me (I can't sew).
Room had good a/c, good internet (that seems new for them) and the sheets were good, bed was comfortable.....They seem to show different promos on their website, which before I remember them only showing stupid rates, easier to do better with internet bookings.

nice report. awaiting the continuation. take care, its wuhan sick season.

all trouble started when Moonlight models started asking for 5000 tips and their customers obliged , thus increasing tourist spending in Thailand which in turn led to strengthening baht.
Cheap charlies complaining that some, including me ,  are paying inflated tips can feel vindicated as it's clearly a case of us sawing off branch we are sitting on.
At least this is how I see source of today's troubles with strong baht, guilty as charged.

Last Word: The more change na, the more same same
This trip to Bangkok has given me so much to think about, and so much more to look forward to. I was expecting a lot, since the demise of Soi Twilight, and the change of venue to "straight-land", so I was surprised on how unchanged everything seemed to be, but how seemingly changed it also is at the same time. There are things that are just gone forever, but at the same time replaced with something else. I could not put my finger on it just yet, but it is just a different Bangkok that I discovered this trip.
Some musings:
The Cost

This is just true for the bars and boys I’ve visited this trip: I was surprised on how standardized the pricing for short time and long time is. Almost all the bars and boys and mamasans who talked about it quoted me standard pricing: 2000 baht for short time, and 3000 baht for long time. Except for the Moonlight models of course. 
I guess this makes things fairly simple for newcomers and experts alike, standard pricing makes it fair for everyone. I can understand the likes of Mekhin will fetch a little bit more, but I guess this takes away the element of negotiating that is inherent in Asian venues, especially the markets like Chatuchak. What would cheap charlies do now?
The Money
I completely forgot about this when I arrived in Bangkok for this trip, but after getting money from the ATM for the first time since June 2018, I was reminded that the current King is a relatively new one, judging from the new face staring back at me when I counted the money coming out of the ATM. I understand that these new banknotes were first introduced in April 2018, but this was first time seeing the new banknotes with Rama X on it.

I’ve always thought that having different colors to signify different values in the money is smart. Compare that to the drab green and black that is present in all of the US dollar banknotes, making them indistinguishable from one another, especially for a newcomer or tourist paying up in dark venues like bars. Thai money reminds me of Brazil’s banknotes, which came in similar hues as Thailand’s.

The Bars

There is no denying it: I kinda miss Soi Twilight. I kind of liked how special it was, having a specific Soi devoted to the gays. It was almost like a protective enclave, where one is free to express oneself in the confines of a cul-de-sac. I guess now Soi 4 can claim this mantel, a generally gay-exclusive Soi, although obviously it has not reached Soi Twilight heights just yet. I guess it shouldn’t matter, as a lot of people escape to Bangkok to let their hair down, and trying to be oneself in Patpong shouldn’t be more challenging than it was in Twilight, but still, the sense of camaraderie one felt in Twilight is the sensation that I miss. It is gone forever. Time to move on.
But the later hours, closing at 2 AM versus midnight to 1 AM, is a welcome change. I was able to do more and thrive with the extended hours. Before, I would have to lean on Screwboys for my late night follies. Now, Freshboys and Luckyboys, among the others, have given me the late night threesomes that is a marked improvement to the boy nightlife. A very big improvement.
The Boys

I am glad to note that the boys are still same same. They are still sweet, they are still sexy as hell, and they still remain the centerpiece of my Bangkok trips. I always say this every trip: that I need to do more massage in Bangkok, but the only one I got was mind-blowingly amazing. Unfortunately, the sex in general is still as uneven as before, as there is still danger of offing the non-performers. I have been lucky in the past but I was unlucky to have picked one this trip. It never seems to be a problem in Latin America. But this was a minor blemish in my otherwise excellent trip.
And thankfully, Bangkok still remains a popular playground for young gay Asian tourists from all over the region, and I am glad I was able to sample from this lot as well. Boys don’t always have to be procured from a stage or a massage table. I’m glad that this has not changed.

And now, my Trip awards:

Best off: My Moonlight model. Not the best sex I had this trip. This is reserved for Sunlight. But I went into the off with very low expectations, and he exceeded them and much much more. And this is why he rose to the top to be my best off of the trip. We are still Lining each other once in a while. I will see him in the future, no doubt.
Worst off: My Moonlight off. Really really bad. He might have been gorgeous, but what a dud in bed. 
It’s funny that both my best and worst offs are from the same bar. Goes to show you that even in the same bar, you get a wide variety of performances in bed.

Best bar: Luckyboys. To me the most complete boy bar in Bangkok. Great ambience, comfortable and optimal seating, amazing and entertaining show, very helpful mamasans, and has the most boys in terms of number and variety. Highly recommended!
Worst bar: Jupiter. Only because I’ve had great memories of it in the past, and it disappointed me this trip. I hope next trip will be better.

Best boy onstage: Nut of Moonlight. Best body, stage presence, and performance onstage.
Worst boy onstage: Mehkin of Jupiter. Went around onstage like a drunk sailor. When he found the whiskey, he was never to be seen onstage again.

Best mamasan: Moonlight – failed me with dud off, but redeemed himself with fixing me up with the right Moonlight model. And after, on Line, following up with me about the off. 
Worst mamasan: Dreamboy mamasan. It was unnecessary to hold my hand the whole time I was there. I will hold a boy’s hand, not a mamasan.

Best boyfriend experience: Cambodia of Luckyboys. He made a good impression of Burboy, cradling me from orgasm to the airport. I miss him already.
Worst boyfriend experience: Hot Male off. He forgot to ask for my Line and I had to run after him to get his Line. Maybe he didn’t want to see me anymore. Oh well.

Biggest regret: Two things: coffee with Old Friend on the second day, and a long time with Hot Male off on the third day. Both didn't happen because I didn’t have enough time for both boys. I just didn’t have enough time for the things I wanted, really. 3 nights in Bangkok is not enough.

Brazil or Thailand?  Sadly, it is still Brazil for me, if I had to choose only one. But Thailand has given me something to think about this trip. 
The good thing is I’ve already bought my ticket for my next trip to Bangkok. I won’t say when I’ll go just yet, only know that I’ll be leaving in less than a month.
I can’t wait.

hi there Numazu. thanks for effort, write about nightlife in bkk. my last visit to bkk is last year july. as i read yours, now im updated a bit. my favourite place to visit is tawan and arena. tawan, during my previous visit, only few keep in shape. others look like fat/bulky offseason. i wonder what tawan look like currently? hope the cap guy mamasan still there. he always ask me to pick some men, dont want see me 'empty handed' go back to hotel. 

Day 14.5: The Thai Boy and the Thai Man
 
So I am in Tong’s arms. He likes sleeping on his back, with my head on his chest, with his left arm around my neck, touching my left shoulder. We fall asleep this way, his ample size engulfing my own. Nothing like a late afternoon siesta after sex to get you ready for the night. I set the alarm for 7 PM in case Thai Boy (TBoy), the vomitous 19-year-old from from last night, Lines me to tell me he is at the condo.
 
Alarm comes and I wake up. I let Tong sleep. I put on underwear and go to the living room area and look at my phone. I message TBoy on Line to check up on him. He replies in 5 minutes saying he is on the Baht Bus now. OK good that’s not too bad. I play around with my phone for a while and then I get a Line from Cambodia Boy:
 



 
He’s a sweet guy. TBoy might have told him he was going to the condo. He might have wanted to come but that’s just too many boys. I assure him that he will come with me to BKK tomorrow. Right now I need to focus on the boys that I do have.
 
Soon I get a Line message from TBoy saying he is at the lobby. I put on clothes and head down to the lobby. I see him sitting at one of the couches and he stands up when he sees me. He looks nice today. Dressed in a blue jacket and white shirt, with trendy skinny jeans and boots. And tall (I did say he was tall right?). He’s probably one of the skinniest guys I’ve offed in Thailand, but I did love what I saw last night, even with the vomit and all that.
 
I ask him if he was OK and hope he wasn’t too hungover. He said he had “bad”, pointing to his head, this morning but now feels better. I explain to him that Tong is here for the night, but I wanted to keep my promise and want to meet him as well. I tell him a little bit about Tong (he is also Thai, about Tawan, tell him Tong is big – gesturing with my arms to show Tong has big muscles). His English is about the same level as Tong.
 
We get to the condo and before going in any further I shout out “Tong? TBoy is with me.” Tong says “OK!” Tong is sitting up on the bed looking at his phone, with the covers covering him up to his chest. I make introductions, they speak in Thai for a bit. I tell them I’m getting ready for dinner. I wash my face, brush my teeth and fix my hair. Tong wraps a towel around his waist (modest for strangers?) goes to the bathroom next to do more or less the same. I make small talk with TBoy. He seems to be in great sprits tonight. Smiling and laughing and all that. Tong emerges and puts on some clothes. I ask Tong if we are going to drive to dinner. He says yes, no problem. And off we go to the parking level.
 
Tong gets to his SUV and starts it. We wait for him to pull out of his parking spot a little bit. I get in the passenger's side and TBoy gets in the back. As Tong pulls out of the condo complex, I ask him what he wanted to eat. He says maybe we can go back to the Royal Garden Plaza Mall and eat at Sizzler. I think to myself, that is an odd choice, but sure, why not. I tell TBoy that we are going to Sizzler and he says “OK.”
 
I would never choose to eat at a Sizzler when I am in the U.S., so I am not an expert if the Thai version is the same as the American version. Not sure why I have avoided it all this time, but sitting down at the restaurant and looking at the menu I think, this is not too bad. I guess the concept is you have to choose a main dish, usually a steak, chicken or some pork thing, and then you have access to the salad bar, which had the usual salad items and some soup, and some dessert items as well.
 
I ask Tong if he has been here before and he says yes when he was last in Pattaya about 3 or 4 years ago for a contest. I ask TBoy and he says it is his first time. The menu is in Thai and English, but the giant pictures of the food pretty much show you what your selections are. I get a pig thing, Tong gets a steak thing, and TBoy gets a fish thing. After ordering food and drinks we make our way to the salad bar. I explain to TBoy how this works and he follows my lead.
 
We have pleasant conversation over dinner. I am outnumbered by the Thais but they were courteous enough to speak in English. They are both from Isaan and they explain to me the relative distances of their home villages were from each other. They tell me how poor their families are and what crops their families farm (mostly rice and some vegetables, chickens and cattle etc). I ask why choose Bangkok for Tong, Pattaya for TBoy. They said the same thing, they knew someone there in the business and decided to try their luck. I find the similarities in their stories interesting, and somewhat sad. How many more similar stories do countless of other Thai boys have?
 
But the similarities end there though. Tong and TBoy are as different to each other as anyone else in the restaurant. Tong is straight, dark-skinned, giant muscles, and shorter (my height). TBoy is gay, lighter-skinned, Pattaya skinny and tall for a Thai guy (around 5’10 or 1.78 meters). I marvel at how diverse my taste in men is.
 
But they are not so different in temperament. They are both laid-back, talkative, and sweet. They look at me in the eye when they speak to me. They are both funny and laugh easily. And they are not stingy with giving me smiles, they embody the “Land of Smiles” moniker that the country has (not sure the Thai people really use this moniker to describe their country, or its just some contrived thing some farang thought up, someone tell me).
 
We are about to finish dinner and TBoy goes to the bathroom. I take this chance to tell Tong how tonight is going to go down. I tell Tong that I want to have fun with TBoy by myself, and ask him if this was OK. He says this was fine. I tell him he can do whatever he wants with the time, I only need an hour. He thinks about it and TBoy comes back and sits down. Tong says he wanted to do cardio today and wanted to see if he can use the condo gym to do it. I tell him I am not sure what the hours are for the gym tonight but he is more than welcome to use it. He tells me that’s what he wanted to do when we go back. He does tell me he doesn’t have any gym clothes with him. I tell him, hey, we are in a mall, so we can find him some clothes.
 
My pork thing is huge and I only eat a quarter of it. Tong and TBoy finish their plates, and have room for dessert as well. I am done and wonder where their appetites come from. Tong mentions to waiter to put my uneaten pork thing in a doggy bag. Maybe they will be hungry later? I pay up, it all costs 1700 baht. Not bad for a big meal for three.
 
I remember buying some good sports gear in the 2nd floor sports store. Tong says he only needs a sleeveless shirt for the gym. As he looks for a shirt, I tell TBoy if he sees something he likes I can probably buy it for him. He likes this idea and starts looking as well. As I peruse the merchandise, Tong comes back to me says that he is not seeing any XLs or XXLs that are nice. He gets help from a salesgirl. He talks to her in Thai and she takes him to a side of the store that had more sizes. He finds two XLs that look drab and gray. I find a blue one that looks nice. I give it to him and he says it is a Large. I tell him to try it on anyway. He goes to the fitting room to change and asks me to be close by to get my opinion. He goes into the fitting room and 20 seconds later opens the door. He tells me to come in and he is wearing the size Large blue one. It fits him but it looks like its been painted on him. It hugs his body and shows every curve, nipple and muscle fiber in his body. He says it is no good, I tell him, it looks good to me! He laughs and he says, it is ok for you but not for me.
 
He goes back in and changes to one of the gray ones. It fits him elsewhere well but the chest is a little tight. I ask him if he likes it, he says yes but wishes the chest wasn’t tight. He asks the saleslady for an XXL (Ek-Ek-El). Tong tries it on and this is acceptable. I take it from him to pay for it. 500 baht. TBoy goes up to me with a pair of gym shorts he found. 600 baht. I find this reasonable and pay up with my Visa. Tong and TBoy are nearby, whispering in Thai, maybe talking about me and my intentions for both of them tonight, and maybe even how I am as a customer.
 
It’s 10:30 PM. We make our way down to parking and head on back to the condo. I hold Tong’s left hand while he is driving. We get to the room and Tong asks if he should go to the gym now. I say sure but I tell him to check the fitness room hours first because I don’t think it is open late. He says to not worry about it. I give him a copy of the key card to the condo and tell him to come back anytime. He said he was going to call me if he was coming back. He is very considerate.
 
TBoy goes to the bathroom and starts the shower. Tong then disrobes down to his briefs to change to gym clothes. I think about asking Tong to stay when I see his magnificent brown body but I decide against it. Tong smiles at me and I ask for a hug and he gives it to me. He puts on his new shirt, and some shorts and gym shoes. He leaves and I wait for TBoy to finish. It takes him a while to finish (shower, toothbrush, some more showering, gargling, some more water), but eventually he comes out wrapped in a towel and smelling wonderful. His skinny, lighter skinned body is a sharp contrast to that of Tong’s, but right now, I’ve forgotten about Tong because TBoy is looking mighty sexy.
 
I shower quickly but thoroughly. I remember how much I liked TBoy last night, making out with him and being close to him, before the vomit. That seems like something that happened long ago. I come out and see TBoy drinking a water in the living room he got from the fridge. He smiles at me. I go to him and peel off his towel, sit him down on the couch and start putting his cock in my mouth. I do this for a while, helping TBoy relax. I do this for a while.
 
I scoop him up in my arms and carry him to the bedroom (he’s heavier than I thought but I make it). He starts laughing and giggling. I toss him down on the bed and I join him for kisses. Kiss, lick, suck, rim. He is fun loving and playful. He takes time sucking me and knows how to do it. I ask him if I can fuck him now. He says yes and I point to the condom and lube. He takes a condom and hands it to me. I unwrap, put it on my cock. He puts lube on it and his ass. I tell him to sit on it. He does and it slides in easily. He bounces up and down, making some moaning noises, smiling the whole time. I adjust, take my right hand to his back and lay him down while I am still inside him. He is tremendously flexible and takes me like a champ. I kiss him the rest of the time while thrusting, taking advantage of how bendy he is. Soon, I shoot, completely spent, and lay there for a while with his legs up in the air still. I pull out and laugh.
 
I ask if he can cum as well. He obliges and starts chuck-wowing. It takes him a while but I try to encourage him with an exploratory lick here, a suck to his nipple there. I like seeing this exertion, and I appreciate the effort. He shoots explosively. Cum is everywhere. It gets in his hair and face. He laughs and shocked that he gets some on his face. I tell him it’s on his hair too. He lets out a big WOW and laughs some more. I let him shower. It takes him a while again but he has lube up his ass and cum all over so it’s understandable. I wipe down my cock and any stray cum on me.
 
When he’s done I shower quickly. I come out and he is still naked and on his phone. I give him a kiss. I ask him if he is OK and he says yes. I tell him I will text Tong to let him know we are ready for him. He says it is OK and asks me if he needed to stay tonight. I tell him no it will just be me and Tong tonight. He says OK in a neutral voice, no hint of disappointment or joy. I was just looking to enjoy Tong the rest of my time with him before going back to BKK tomorrow. I text Tong and he replies quickly and says he is on his way back to the condo.
 
TBoy and I puts on clothes and start small talk. He says he hopes more customers come because it’s been slow the last few weeks. He says it was great when he was starting and there were a lot of customers over Songkran, but now, at early July, Jomtien doesn’t have a lot of customers, and online hasn’t been as busy. I ask him where he gets his most customers from, online or the bar, he says “Same-same”. I give him 1700 baht for his time and effort, he Wais in thanks. I give him a kiss.
 
Tong arrives and he is very sweaty. I ask him if he went to the gym, he says no and just walked around for cardio. He says tomorrow morning he wants to go to the gym and suggests we go together to work out. I tell him that’s an excellent idea. He and TBoy say some words in Thai and then Tong goes to the bathroom to shower. TBoy says he will go now and I accompany him to the lobby. I tell him I appreciated the second chance and hopefully I can see him in future trips. I mean this. It seems that there is much more to this kid, and I want know more.
 
Back at the condo, I settle down and Tong comes out in a Superman t-shirt and lounge shorts. I have photos but don’t want to show them here. I make myself comfortable as well. It is past 12 midnight and we spend the rest of the night just cuddling and talking. There is a time for a night of partying and frolic, and there is a time for quiet and calm.

Day 14: Tale of Two Malls
 
Interesting footnotes to last night’s craziness.  When Cambodia Boy (CB) and I were done with sex last night I looked at my phone and saw one missed call, from Khmer Kid (the kid I picked on while drinking), and a series of messages from another boy I had the drinks with. I am guessing maybe TBoy told them about the non-off (presumably all the boys are living in the condos above the bar) and they thought to contact me to perhaps be the third. Not sure if this was the case, but a coincidence nevertheless.
 
I wake up at 9 AM, my head pounding with a horrible hangover. Its been a while since I’ve drank this much, and I am paying for it now. I get up and pee some of the alcohol away. I drink TWO small bottles of water, and take two Tylenol PMs to help with getting more sleep and the headache.
 
Fast forward to 12 PM. I feel better, the headache is gone, and CB is up and playing with his phone. I say good morning, he takes his phone away and cuddles with me. I like these parts. Then I suddenly remember what is happening today. I ask CB if he was hungover. He said he was perfectly fine, and said he is used to drinking a lot. I suggested breakfast/lunch soon. We both shower and get ready to eat. I notice that I have used all eight full sized towels that the condo had, so I put them all in the washer and washed them before we go. Lots of boy remnants and cum in those towels.
 
We took the Baht Bus to Central Festival Mall. We get to basement level and get a variety of food to refuel from the busy night before. We were both really hungry.
 
I appreciate how attentive and considerate CB has been so far. I think I am not ready to say goodbye to him just yet. With Tong, Tawan star, arriving today, I have got to figure out how. I tell CB what is happening next. I tell him Tong is arriving today. Instead of us crowding in my condo, I tell him to take the night off tonight while I deal with Tong. I tell him to go with me to BKK tomorrow, with Tong driving both of us. CB will be spending my last three nights in BKK. Since I promised DTG I would see him before I leave, I have to figure how to do that as well. So many boys, so little time.
 
CB thanks me for wanting him for more days. I ask him if he wanted me to pay his tip now for the days I’ve had him. He says no need and I can give him his money in the end. During our meal, I get a call from Tong, telling me he is about to leave Bangkok and wanted to make sure we were still on. I tell him we are and just let me know if he was close. CB and I finish eating, and then he accompanies me back to the condo.
 
We take the bus back to the condo and swing by the 7-11 to get more waters and snacks. CB helps me with the merchandise and up to the condo. He takes his things and tells me to Line him anytime today if I needed him, kisses me and leaves for the day. I dry the towels. I look at my phone and see some messages from DTG, Boy from Tawan, and TBoy from last night. I answer DTG with some cutesy emojis, ignore Boy, and say hi back to TBoy.
 
I feel kind of bad for what happened last night. The combo of alcohol, CB’s weird aversion to TBoy, and the vomiting episode, just made for a bad situation. So I am a man of my word, and when TBoy responded to my Line I told him I will see him tonight. He asked what time, I told him possibly dinner or after. I told him I had another boy coming but can see him for sure. That other boy was Tong, of course. TBoy says OK and assures me a good time. I like redemption.
 
Tong calls me and tells me he is about 30 minutes to Pattaya. I confirm with him that we are meeting at the Central Mall. I hurriedly clean up the place. Condom wrappers, snack wrappers, empty bottles of water, dirty clothes everywhere. Ive only been here two nights here and it looks like I trashed the place. I straighten up the linens and put in some clothes to wash in the washer.
 
I decide to walk from the condo to Central Mall. It wasn’t too hot today to walk. I get there and no call from Tong so far. I window shop in the meantime with no intention of buying anything. Apart from buying the suits and shirts, this is not a shopping kind of trip.
 
After 15 minutes, Tong calls, telling me that he just parked in the basement. I ask him where he was; he says he was just outside of the mall. I ask which side? He didn’t know, so he asks someone closeby and then responds to me “Second Rd”. I rush to Second Rd and do not see any sign of him. The Central Mall grounds by Second Rd was alive with people milling about, and some drinking in the makeshift bar in front of the mall. It would not be not hard to spot Tong, he is a giant muscular man. But no sign of him. I call him again, he says he is outside just waiting. I ask him are you at Central Mall? He says yes. I ask what stores did he see that were close to him? He takes some time to answer, probably looking for guidance from someone. He then responds “Sorry. No Central. I no sure.” After another pause he then says “I Loyun”. I ask “Loyun??” I have no idea where that fucking is. “Do you know Loyun?” I say no. I get frustrated.
 
He pauses some more and then gets back on the phone and tells me to go find a mocy taxi and tell them to take me to “Loyun”. OK fine. I go to the mocy taxi row by Second Rd and talk to one of the cute mocy guy just standing there. I tell him just the one word “Loyun?” The driver then says “Loyun Garden Plaza?” Ahhhh, the "Royal" Garden Plaza Mall. This all made fucking sense now. I say yes, mocy says “60 baht?”, putting up 6 fingers. I agree, and did not want Tong to wait any longer. The driver gets on his mocy, I sit behind him, grab the bottom of the seat with my two hands, and hang on for dear life.
 
The mocy taxi cuts through the mall to get to Beach Rd, and the driver barrels through Beach Rd. Speeding, dodging, weaving. I thought I was gonna die. The driver starts slowing down in front of the Royal Garden Mall, I tell driver “Second Rd?” He understood and goes through the courtyard where the Aya hotel is, and then hangs a left on Second Rd. The driver stops in front of the mall, I get him his 60 baht, and I run to the mall. I hate those fucking mocys.
 
I go in the mall and I immediately see Tong in front of The GAP. He sees me and immediately walks toward me to meet me. He smiles sheepishly and gives me a big bear hug. He apologizes profusely for the confusion. He says the Royal Garden Plaza mall was the only mall he knew in Pattaya. He says he was here for a contest 3 or 4 years ago so he was familiar with this mall. I say it was OK and I am just glad he made it.
 
I ask him what he wanted to do. He said it was too early for dinner, and he asked if I wanted to relax in the condo while we wait. He wanted to relax after the drive. I said for sure. I ask where was parking. He points to the Beach Rd side of the mall. We walk in that direction. We make small talk. He keeps a firm hand on the small of my back to guide me to our destination. We find the elevator.
 
At basement parking he finds his big SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle). It’s a pretty impressive vehicle for a money boy. I wonder how he can afford such vehicle. Probably a rich benefactor? I don’t ask. I took pictures of his SUV but out of respect for Tong I will not post them here. Instead, to give you an idea of what kind of vehicle he drives, here is an image search:
 
https://www.google.com/search?q=Thai+SUV&espv=2&biw=1279&bih=657&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiinY_xk_vNAhUW1mMKHdlWClgQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=Thailand+SUV
 
I did comment on how I like his car and tell him what kind of car I owned back in America. He tells me he likes owning this car but it is a big cost to him. In retrospect, he tells me, he should’ve probably bought a condo in BKK. He says property appreciates in the value in Thailand, while cars depreciates in value (doing arrows thumbs up and down while he explains). I tell him at least you can go to nice road trips with this SUV. He says he usually uses it to go to Isaan.
 
We leave basement parking and pay up at the guard shack for the parking. Tong says it is 10 baht but he pays with change in his console. We get on Second Rd and the traffic is not as bad. Pretty soon we are at the condo. We gets to the condo guard shack and I hand him the condo key card and he scans it at the sensor. It opens up the barrier and I am secretly glad it worked. I tell him where the building is and he hangs a left to the sign where it says parking. He finds a pretty good parking spot and starts to back in. He tells me to get out so I can get out of the car comfortably instead of squeezing out of it in the spot. He parks the car expertly.
 
He takes his overnight duffel bag from the back and uses his car key fob to lock his car. We wait for the elevator. I look at him and he flashes me this big hopeful smile. I am going to have fun with this guy. We get to the room and he says he likes this condo building. He says it’s “Big and cute”. I ask if he wanted a tour. He says sure! So we get in and I orient him on the features of the room. He looks out of the window and admires the excellent view of Pattaya. I tell him, if you like views, you’ve seen nothing yet.
 
I take him to the 44th floor and take him to the pool with the view. He is impressed with the view and takes some pictures with his phone. He then tells me if we could go into the pool to soak up for a little bit. I always wanted to do that sometime this trip so what better way to do than with Tong. We go back to the room and he starts disrobing to take a quick shower. In his briefs I see his amazing body and it reminds me of why I agreed to this meeting in the first place. He sees I was staring and tells me “Sorry I no gym today so no good,” as he points to his chest and biceps. He’s crazy. It’s a magnificently worked out body. Even not worked out it is still very very impressive. His naturally dark brown skin only accentuates the giant muscles. He smiles and then goes into the shower. When he finishes I do the same.
 
Coming out of the shower I see a Line from TBoy. He is asking what time should we meet later. I ask Tong what time we can have dinner. He says maybe 7 or 8 will be good. I ask Tong if a boy can join us for dinner and company later. He says of course, no problem. So I tell TBoy to be at the condo around 7. I don’t know how this will all work out yet but I have an idea how its gonna play out. In the meantime we both wear our swim shorts and tank tops and make our way back to the 44th floor. Tong is bursting out of his tank top. He might as well be shirtless. I take two towels with us.
 
We get there and we see one party of four Asians, three guys and a girl, also in the pool and taking selfies. We take off our singlets and toss them on one of the lounge chairs. We take a dip and the pool is a pleasant temperature. Tong is fairly impressed with the view and stares into the expanse of Pattaya. He dips and soaks for a while. I do some short laps (not really a pool for that though). I ask Tong if he gets to take a dip in pools once in a while. He says yes on occasion. He said last time he was in Pattaya he soaked in Jomtien beach with some buddies and a girl.
 
Tong is a very sweet guy. His soft voice betrays his muscular, bull-ish profile. He smiles a lot, and when he talks he looks at you intently and makes sure you understand what he is saying. His English is passable, with some struggle, but can communicate effectively.
 
After about 45 minutes we have had enough relaxing and leave the pool area. We dry off and make sure we are not dripping wet (there is a 2000? Baht fee if you are dripping wet in the elevator). We get back to the room and we both take off our wet swimsuits and wear our towels around our waists. I take mine and his wet ones and go out to the terrace and hang them to dry. He then asks me if I wanted to “relax.” I said sure!!! So he gets into the bathroom and starts showering. I shower next.
 
It starts the same as the last time, with a massage. He does it without any oil or cream. He uses his ample weight to make the massage effective. He makes sure I can get a feel of his body while he does it.
 
Some comments about how Tong has sex with his customers (or at least with me, your mileage may vary always, and goes without saying). For a straight and impossibly muscular guy, he kisses very passionately. It’s probably the best part I like about being with him. I get to be up close to him, feel his massive shoulders, chest, back and abs, and his way of extracting an erection out of me. He never sucks without a condom, but the feeling when he sucks is like there is no condom. He sucks very well, and does it longer than even other gay gogo boys out there. And his hand jobs to make me cum are very expertly done. He knows what buttons to push for sure.
 
Its almost very “paint by numbers” how he does it, but he gets his result everytime: he gives me an explosive orgasm. That and the visuals are great, and feeling his massive body is greater, so no wonder the cumming part is very easy to get to. So I did cum, and it was awesome.
 
And just like last time, we cuddle after sex. I toss the condom away and just lay with him. We sleep while we wait for dinner.
 
To be continued

Day 11.5: If you think of happiness, think Tawan
 
Captain comes back and hands me my drink. He then sits down with me and says that the boys think you look familiar. I tell him sure, I’ve been here a number of times before so they recognize me. He says no, I look familiar because I look like a Tawan guy who used to work there named “Siam”. I laugh, and ask him if that’s true. He says yes. Siam is back in Issan, and the boys find it funny that I look like him. I am uncertain if this is good or not.
 
Captain then asks me what I wanted tonight. I tell him I wanted to off someone, that’s why I am early at the bar. Maybe too early, I tell him. He says yes, usually on a Monday night punters get there close to 10-10:30 PM. He says almost all the boys showing up tonight are here so I have my pick. He then tells me that they boys are only tops and no bottoms. I think I’ve talked to him before about this, and he needs to reiterate this to me. I said no problem, I just want to off a boy to admire him, and do other things.
 
Tawan is actually the first gogo bar in Thailand I’ve ever visited. Back in 2014, having discovered the Gaythailand forum by chance and reading about other people’s experiences, I decided to give it a go during a work visit to Asia. The first visit was only 3 nights, and my first bar was Tawan. From what I’ve been reading, the bar is legendary. The thought of super muscular Thai guys in tight speedos available to be had for a short time for a fraction of what I would pay back home was super appealing. The relative anonymity of doing it in another country added to the thrill. I thought it be fun to try just once, offing a muscular guy, see what it’s like, and once that itch has been scratched I’ll move on. Little did I know it would lead to 9 more trips to Thailand, and offing more boys.
 
My first off was in Tawan, and it was Phet, one of the cute younger boys in Tawan. Not as big as the average muscle guy in Tawan, I was attracted to his youth (Looks like early 20s), looks (super pretty boy), and style (sexy spiky hair, leather jacket and boots). The sex was ok, nothing to write home about, but it did lead me to the path to find the perfect off. To this day I've never offed anyone of the muscle gods in Tawan, it would always be the smaller boys that I off: Tiger, Bos?, and more recently Boy. I always think, one day, I’ll off one of the giant guys, but I never do. Till tonight.
 
I ask the Captain what does #17 do in bed? Captain says he is a very nice boy. He can kiss, suck and be sweet. Sounds great to me. Since I remember from other posters that he is one of the stars in Tawan I immediately think he may be diva-ish, and expensive. I think about it and call him over. He makes his way to me and then the boys all laugh again and whistle. He sits next to me and gives me a kiss on the cheek.
 
Since Tong, #17, is widely known here, here is a link to a pic of him:
 
http://hotasianman.blogspot.com/2013/10/nathakorn-apsuwan.html
 
I ask Tong, why are they laughing? He says that I look like Siam, and it’s weird that a Siam look alike will be his customer for the night. I tell him I hope that’s good news for me. He says it is fine. He thinks it’s going to be a good night for me, he said. He introduces himself as Tong, asks for my name and where home is (You look Chinese!). I ask him how old he is. He asks me back, how old do you think I am? I say maybe 26. He laughs and flashes that giant smile (cute braces), and says no, he is 30. I then say that he has the biggest muscles in the room. I ask why so big? He says he takes part in bodybuilding competitions, and was Mr. Thailand one time. I congratulate him on his achievements by touching his big bicep (as one does when in Tawan).
 
I am quite surprised how easy he is to talk to. He is all smiling, laughing, touchy feely, fairly accomodating. I feel his body and it is a quite a spectacle. I feel his biceps and it bigger than most Pattaya boy’s waists. I feel his chest and he bounces them up and down. His thighs are the epitome of “trunk-like”. His skin is very smooth, a dark brown. I look back up to his face and it is still smiling. A classic Thai face. He reveals some braces. He says he’s had them for 3 years now and only needs 3 more months before they can be taken off. He is wearing barely there speedos that show some bush when he sits down. Quite a visual from a mountain of a man.
 
He then asks what I like doing when I off boys. I explain to him that normally I look for all the bottoms in a bar and choose from there. I say it’s rare for me to off tops because I feel that they just lay there. I tell him that if I will off someone in Tawan, no fucking is necessary, but the kissing, touching, feeling and connection should be there. He says it is no problem, he thinks he can take care of me. I ask how much, he says 2500 baht short time. But he also can massage me before to get in the mood. I was expecting something more expensive and feel that this is cheap for a Tawan star that is as charming as him. I tell him to get some clothes on so I can take him home. He tells me give him 10 minutes because he wanted to eat something that the bar is serving. I tell him no problem I will just finish my drink.
 
Captain sees that Tong is not by my side, I tell him I offed him. 400 for drink and 500 for off fee. No mention at all of getting drink for Tong. I like Tawan’s no pressure vibe. The captain is helpful when he needs to be, no upsells, no pressure. I look over to the lonely farang nursing his beer. I hope he gets out of his shell and offs someone soon, or at least talks to someone. I feel that he needs some encouragement. Captain sees me looking at farang and decides to chat him up. I hope captain helps him.
 
Tong appears in a loose fitting tshirt and pants. His pecs perk straight up, and his giant ass fills out the seat of his pants. Impressive that he is wear loose fitting clothing but his pecs and ass are so big, they are super tight in his clothes. He puts his arm around my shoulder as we head out on Soi Tantawan towards Silom Rd. He is very chatty, telling me about Isaan and his poor father and how his money also goes to his family in Isaan. He says he does not go to the bar everyday, only when he feels like it and needs the money. Sometimes he goes back to Isaan and spends some time there with his family. He has a t-shirt business going on now, where he prints knock-offs of designer brands and sells them to Thais on Facebook. He hopes that one day his business takes off. He says he doesn’t mind working at the bar but he would prefer to not be there if he can afford it.
 
He then asks me about why I go to Bangkok. I tell him about how often I go, hotels I stay at, working in Hong Kong, my wish to buy a condo in BKK and maybe Pattaya. He is quite interested in my ramblings, and asks follow-up questions that make it sound like he is interested. Sometimes he puts his arm around my waist, my shoulder, kisses my back. He is pretty good.
 
We get to the room and we sit on the couch. We talk some more while I admire (touch) his body. We talk about Bangkok and Isaan. About Tawan and gogo boy life. He tries to tell me a word that he does not know in English. I whip out Google Translate in my iPhone. He does not know how to use it. I help him, he says his word and gets translated in English to “seduction”. He then asks about the app. What is that app? I say Google Translate. It’s funny that he has not used this app before. His English is good enough, sure, but still needs some help sometimes, at least when talking to me. Maybe with other customers he is not needed to talk much?
 
I tell him I was going to Pattaya for a few days starting tomorrow to visit my tailor. He perks up, asks how I was going to get there. I tell him about PT Taxi and how I use them all the time to get me to and from Pattaya. He asks me to cancel it. He owns a car and offers to drive me there and stay with me the whole time I am in Pattaya. I am surprised, ask him are you sure? Sleep in my bed all the time? He says sure, enjoy me. Go out and get dinner and such? Sure. I tell him I intended on offing some boys there, he says no problem, he can leave the room when I am with them and come back after. Or he can join, my choice. I find this very tempting. I am surprised he’d offer to do this. I don’t want to ask him how much this is all gonna cost me, because I feel it is a lot, so as to not spoil the mood. We haven’t even done the deed yet, I don’t know if we are compatible in bed yet.
 
I take off his shirt. Play around with his magnificent torso for a while, while talking about a lot of things. I kiss him, get up and take a shower. I get out of the shower and he is reclining in the couch, trying to work the TV. I help him to operate it, instead he takes off everything and heads to the shower. Magnificent body. He doesn’t take long and he heads over to the bedroom as I follow him there.
 
He asks if we can watch some movie on TV. I say what? That’s not too sexy. He says no, it’s just for the massage part. He turns it off when the sex happens. I agree to this and it actually works out. I lay on my front and he massages my back, shoulders, thighs and feet. He puts his ample weight on my body and it feels great. I didn’t mind the TV because I was being lulled to sleep by his massage. He flips me over and works on my chest and arms.
 
He then turns the TV off and works on my penis. He gets it hard then promptly puts his ass on top of my dick, simulating dry humping. He makes seductive noises, I jack him off. He ample presence is very impressive. Him grinding on my dick is a positive. Perhaps this is acknowledgement of me being a top? He grinds my dick some more and soon he is also hard. He lays down beside me and we kiss and generate excellent body contact. I put his dick in my mouth and give him pleasure like this. I lightly finger him, his ass is like a trap. It is just so big. Lots of body contact, admiring his body, kissing his face, eyes, mouth. I try to embrace him, his massive presence can’t be contained by the full length of my arms around him.
 
He asks if I wanted to be sucked. I said yes. Condom OK? I say I don’t know, I don’t like getting sucked through a condom. He takes a condom from his bag, puts it on my dick, and then sucks. And sucks. And continues to suck. Is he enjoying this? I wonder. He’s doing a great job. He offers his dick and we 69. This is awesome. I am taken to near orgasm numerous times before he stops just in time. He asks if I wanted to cum, I say sure. He jacks me off expertly till I cum. He puts my condomed dick in his mouth one last time and I collapse.
 
I get rid of the condom, we cuddle in bed. He turns the TV back on. He is OK with my exploring touches. He drifts to sleep at times. I just enjoy the moment. I barely notice the movie playing (The Hunger Games dubbed in Thai). After 45 minutes of cuddling he stands up and starts putting clothes back on. He asks for my phone and keys in his number, and tells me to call him if I wanted him to drive me Pattaya. I tell him that I do not want to cancel on PT Taxi, but still wanted to see him. I tell him to come the day before I leave Pattaya and we can hangout and have fun and go to a gogo bar, and the next day he can drive me back. I ask how much, he says for everything its 5000 baht plus the price of gas. I think about it: I get to spend time with him, sleep on the same bed, go out have a nice time, maybe tag team a boy, and then he drives me back to BKK. He has to drive the two hours to get to Pattaya and then again to drive me back. PT Taxi is 1100 baht one way to get me back to BKK. And I don’t get to hold their driver’s hand or give him kisses on the drive. For driving and longtime services I’d say this is a reasonable price. We discuss dates and times for Pattaya.
 
I give him his 2500 baht short time. We kiss and I escort him down to be able to leave the condo. I go back to my room, thinking that first impressions really aren’t reality. I thought that was going to be an expensive diva, it turns out he is a really nice guy just trying to earn a few more bucks. I need to figure out a way to have Mr. Thailand drive me around somehow to or from Pattaya and still get some new boys to play with in Pattaya. My mind explodes thinking about all the possibilities. I love Thailand.

Just like 2 share Mr. Musclegod Mekhin when he was still in Tawan...

hi there Numazu. thanks for effort, write about nightlife in bkk. my last visit to bkk is last year july. as i read yours, now im updated a bit. my favourite place to visit is tawan and arena. tawan, during my previous visit, only few keep in shape. others look like fat/bulky offseason. i wonder what tawan look like currently? hope the cap guy mamasan still there. he always ask me to pick some men, dont want see me 'empty handed' go back to hotel. 

Last Friday, from about 20 guys on display, half muscular. Only one of them was shredded muscle. Number 38, Tiger. 
But as Vinapu once wrote. You only need one

nice story. tawan is one of my place. 

My first time visiting is actually recorded as a trip report here, at it was in November 2016. 
I prefer massage over going to bar, so on my first day, i got a foot massage at wat pho and gay massage at arena. That night i still went to my first gogo bar visit as reported below
Couldnt get to sleep even though i wanted too. So I just lay down in bed and watched tv until its almost 10pm. Its time to finally go to tawan. I am glad that tawan is out at a different and quiter road because as i passed by soi twilight, i can only imagine the annoyance walking through a bunch of punters when all u want to do is cruising the road. Not much of cruising in front of tawan though. Still hesitates whether i should enter so i walked on the other side of tawan bar. As i passed the door I immediately turn right and went inside rightaway. This is it, today i am no longer gogobar virgin lol. Mamasan immedeately show me to the nearest sit to the door, i scanned quickly through the bar and see some empty seats at the back and asked to sit there. Mamasan nodded, and seat me asked my drink order and pay right away. Seems like a lot of people were already here waiting, though i wouldnt say its a full house. I am glad that i chose my seat where its at the corner but i can still see the stage and enjoy the show. Next to me is one very old chap wearing slacks and shirt, and already a boy no47 sitting next to him talking and flirting. I kinda like that boy as well, but seems like he is occupied. Having seated at the end, i can just observed the stage and the customers alike. And since not many new comers actually asked for seats at the end of the bar, i got the table to myself, and some of the boys actually hanged out at these corners too. The boys are already on stage taking turns to gain attention. I immediately recognised one of them, tong the mr thai, thanks to this forum. He is in great shape and one of the biggest muscle guy there that doesnt have tummy. Half of them are already bearish type, a few have no defined muscle but majority have well defined muscular abs and pecks.
The show is about to start and i saw one guy, darked skin, which later i found out he is no45. His body, abs and ass is definitely to die for but his look resemble someone back home that i actually hate lol still good looking though but i feel weird haha. He ended up seating to my right at some point and i just couldnt start a conversation.
Ok back to storyline. So I seated next to this old chap, and after no47 get on stage, immedeately some other boy (not to my liking so i dont remember his number) and the. Another boy seat next to this boy, which is just beside me.
I keep my cool and just stare at the stage, and the show is about to start. The lights is out and comes no 45 getting ready to go on stage wearing this studded skimpy undie with penis head exposed. And i noticed the boy next to the old chap also took his out for the chap to play a bit. Just a lot of teasing, touching. The other boy starts to try talki g to me but he is not my type so i just say i wanted to just enjoy the show. He obliged but did touch me a bit again after a while, playfully, but i still insists.
The show was quite revealing, im pretty sure many here have already explained. Theres flexing show, where they took off their undies in the end, some very show bj show (no45 on stage receiving but he is the only one with his face showing, wouldve been better if he cover his face since i just cant shake the resemblance), then some body wave dancing shows (2 of them wearing the greco wrestling outfit, one of them is no 47, very hot) then theres this short 3some sex show, no actual penetration though but no 45 is in it as the pretend bottom. Another short snm show with oil, hot oil with wax, blindfold, and a rubber paddle. Jerk off show with 3 guys.
After the end of the show, the guys all come back on stage, not all. No 45 seats to my left resting, and I immedeately blushed lol couldnt talk to him and definitely not offing him but god his body and ass is to die for. No 47 comes to his old chap but this time 3 other boys are there so he goes in front of him, rubbing his hand on the chaps legs and then goes under his shirt touching is nipple. After a few while the old chap left without off anyone, and i dont see any of the boys gets any tips or drinks. I actually feel sorry for them, especially 47. At this point i already decide not to off anyone, but no47 did glance and smile at me. I just watched a different direction and i see him going the other way. More people leaving, and i decided to leave as well. I did tip 100 for the the guy during jerk off show. And the drink charge, no one else. No off since i got to wake up early for ayutthaya tomorrow, and i already have a very satisfied massage session. Otherwise, i wouldve off at least 3 of the guys i saw today. All 3 of different size. Tong which is the largest, didnt see him do anything today, but he dont really need to i think. No 45, just for that ass slightly smaller build than tong, and 47, which is rather skinny but fair and smooth skin, japanese look, and very nice attitude based on how he treat that old chap.
Im pumped to go again tomorrow, and maybe finally gets the courage to off longtime once. We'll see. If not, maybe next trip. Dunno if i want to go to other gogobar yet.
Overall, i like the show and glad that i went tonight. There is this almost chubby guy with chinese look doing the show though, dont like him at all, he did the snm show as the master and the pretend sex show as the top. Totally a turn off, maybe he is the owner or something lol
And yes, i did finally go back to tawan amd off no47 on a different night of the same trip, my first off and only off of that trip. 

imo, i prefer those age around 30 yrs +. just i like mature look guys. few of the boys maintain their muscular. some just lack of shape. yea, its true, they are straight, become gay for pay. however, i don't mind, as long as, they are good on beds.

I dont particularly have age preference, as long as they have the body type i like. Its just that most of the time, itll be those who like you said, 30 and older lol. And the older guys usually, not always, have less restriction when in bed and always eager to please especially when you are their regulars. My regular does pretty much everything except bottoming. 

One of my regular here used to work in tawan. During songkran, he said he wanted to go back working in tawan. Recently he came back here and told me he only go there for 2 days, and not many customer (most come for show and then left), and even the boys there "not good muscle". He is 43 years old and still rocking a great body, and also gives great massage, so i am glad he came back working here lol

Look like anxious way story telling on 1st night at BKK. Good experience though. 

Thanks for the info JackR, 
im fan of Tawan bar. kinda i like mature muscular men. otherwise, im quite interested with that airport theme show. look new to me. 
will plan to visit bangkok for this year. not now, bcos of the election. i want to see the election outcome 1st. if everything good, ill do come.
