I've only ever gone to Screwboys once in all the times I've gone to BKK. Looks like I should pay this bar a visit in the month's trip 😛

Thanks for that info @macdaddi Just a follow on to this, if I may, does that that mean you can bring different guys here as long as it's just one person at any given time and that person will be registered for that period that they are with me in my room, or registered as my +1 throughout my stay? Where would you suggest having fun with the guys you meet if it's not at your room?

Hi guys, I'm planning a trip to Medellin in August and I'd like to ask your opinion on hotels in the El Poblado neighbourhood that are guest-friendly. I was going through Agoda looking for hotels and noted that in some of the reviews of a few hotels, there were complaints about not being able to bring a guest back to the room. I've kinda narrowed down my options to Haven a Design Hotel, Celestino Boutique Hotel or the Charlee Lifestyle Hotel but open to other suggestions. Thank you in advance 🙏🙏🙏

Personally, I feel that it might be a little more affordable but not that far apart. And like @floridarob mentioned, there's no gay gogo bars like those in Thailand but the apps are full of guys offering their services. The rates are generally cheaper compared to Thailand, with the few exceptions. Jakarta city might not have much in terms of tourist attractions but the food/cafe scene is better than Bangkok, for me at least. I do alternate between Thailand and Indonesia often, just for a change in scenery (and types of guys I'm looking for).

Oh no. I hope this isn't true. This is one of my go-to bars whenever in Bangkok. If this is true, I hope there'll be another place where I can still see the Tawan boys.

In all the times I've brought guys back to my hotel room, never had their IDs checked by the receptionist at the hotel. I've heard some hotels (e.g. Tarntawan) might have that policy in place but most probably don't. I think this differs between individuals but for me, a hotel is my preference when it comes to Thailand mainly because the rates are about the same with (or sometimes better than) AirBnBs, and you'd generally get better service at a hotel (e.g. breakfast, daily room cleaning, etc.).

I'm a little jealous reading this. Can't wait for my trip in April 🎉🎉🎉

Oh wow, Apollo closed down? I was just there in May 2023. But to be honest, I'm not a big fan as the music's a little too loud for my liking. But there are plenty of hot guys to meet on the apps.

If (and hopefully not) they do have to close down, hopefully we'll know where the boys will go to next 🙏🙏🙏

Haha yeah, I noticed. I tend to prefer bigger rooms and at each of those hotels, I'd usually pick the one-bedroom unit, with a separate bedroom and living room. Not sure why but I love all that space 🤣

I tend to stay at hotels not too close to (but not that far from) the bars (like Bandara Suites, At Ease Saladaeng, Silom Serene etc.) and so far, had no issues with bringing guests back in other than the knowing smiles of the doorman or receptionist 🤣🤣.

But is this something you'd discuss with the manager before selecting the boy?

One of the main reasons I started exploring the idea of going to Colombia...the webcam sites! 🤣🤣 I've been in contact with two guys I met online via IG for a little over a year now. Hope to meet up with them if I manage to land in Medellin this year.

Just want to ask the members here who usually go to the massage shops, is it common for the guys to only help you cum but they themselves won't cum unless it's closer towards the end of the day? In the few times that I've gone to massage shops, that is the usual response I get from the guys (most of whom will ask for extra tips if I want them to cum).

I hope it's just a temporary close. I'm looking forward to meeting those hunks later this April 😍

Thanks for the reply @vinapu. I'm planning a trip to BKK end of April, hoping to miss the Songkran crowd 😅

On the topic of Songkran, just wondering how is the crowd like in Bangkok after that weekend? (E.g. will it continue to be crowded throughout April or most would leave after the Songkran weekend)

If you're nervous about going there alone, maybe try the bigger bars first (e.g. Jupiter, Moonlight) as the gogo boys won't be too focused on you, and ease your way to the other more intimate bars.

Hi floridarob, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm a bottom, and unfortunately I don't speak Spanish or Portuguese 😅. I'd like to think that Google translate would be of help when travelling to those destinations, but happy to hear your thoughts on the language barrier.

Hey guys, Just wanted to get some thoughts on your preference between these two countries, especially in the context of gay scene, escort scene, nature and touristic sites. Just a bit of background: i'm a southeast asian guy in mid-30s, relatively fit. I've never been to South America before, so I'm planning a trip there sometime later this year. From what I've read, these 2 countries have quite a good gay scene, plenty of escorts and a variety of touristic things to do. Just wanted to get some insights from the members here. Appreciate any feedback you have on this. Thanks!!

I've only done this once, several years ago and it was one of the bar boys. The only reason I hired him for around 3 days (if memory serves me right) was because I've hired him a few times before for one-offs, and we were quite compatible during those sessions. Mind you, he was not a professional tour guide or anything, so for me it was more of having company to visit some of the touristic sites. The rate I paid back then consisted of the bar's off fees + his tips for 3 nights. If you plan to go down this route, both of those rates would depend on which bar you're taking the boy from.

Haha yeah, I did enjoy myself and not just from the bar visits (mind you I was bar hopping almost every night lol). I managed to do a lot of the non-bar stuff too (e.g. visiting Khaosan Road, Asiatique, exploring the cafes around Silom and Sukhumvit, shopping etc.). In hindsight, this would've probably been the better way but I guess seeing the hot guys after all this time kinda throws logic out of the window for a bit lol. But I do remember him, and would hope to off him on my next visit (if he still shows the same interest). Thanks @vinapu. The one thing I experienced quite differently perhaps from what you reported (and also my previous experience there) was the reaction of the boys in Tawan. For some reason, I felt a little unwelcomed by the guys there (or maybe I was just overthinking it). I would still visit again on my next trip to see how it'll go.

Cont... Jupiter : I was also there twice, once on a weekday and once on a weekend. 1st drink was at THB 500. I didn't off anyone here as well. The models were all gorgeous that I don't think there's any single one that I wouldn't want to off 😅. Possibly the most number of models out of all the bars I managed to check out. On both days, there were a lot of patrons here (compared to other bars). Particularly on the weekend, it was so full that the waiters were struggling to find places to sit the incoming patrons. The shows were great, a mix of sexy shows and drag performances. I would echo the observations of other members on the general lack of smile or eye contact by models (I was seated facing the centre of the runway such that the models, when doing their rounds, would be seeing me face to face at a point but not a single one smiled). All in all, I had a good time there admiring the models and enjoying the shows. One thing I would note is that, perhaps a little different from what I've read previously, there were not that many female patrons on the weekday when I was there (I'd say less than 10, in a packed bar). Hotmale : I was only here once on a weekday, close to midnight. It was after their show. There were probably less than 15 models there, and only a few other patrons. Drink prices were the same as others and I didn't off anyone here. The models were a mix of the generally fit/athletic type and twinks, and probably the most enthusiastic out of all the bars I went to. They would try to win your attention as much as they could while on stage. Dreamboy : I also went here twice, once on a weekday and once on a weekend. Drinks were a little more expensive at THB 550 on both days. There was a variety of models available for off, ranging from twinks to jocks to muscle guys. I find the shows here to be the most interesting out of all (with the pyro act and flying angels etc.). Some of the models on stage will try to make eye contact and flash a smile, but others seemed rather disinterested. At least none were on their phone while on stage. There were quite a few I would love to off next time. Moonlight : I went here twice as well. The drinks were priced at THB 500. I did off a boy from here (his drink + off fee = THB 900, if I'm not mistaken). The captain was very informative about the boys (who tops, btms etc.), told me about the minimum tip expected for an off (THB 2,500) and even went to pull out additional photos of the boys from his phone. The boys are generally of the same type as Jupiter. The guy I offed told me he remembered seeing me the previous day I was there (and he was right on when that was) so maybe the boys do take note of who sits in the audience? I noticed one particular boy who did give a lot of eye contact and smiles on and off stage, but I didn't off him this round (I went with the captain's recommendation). The shows were alright but maybe because I've seen videos of their models before that it wasn't that exciting in person. My ST experience with the boy was also good, and I would definitely off him again. It helped that I clarified what I was expecting to do with him at the bar, to which he confirmed to be OK with him. He is friendly and spoke fairly decent English. Massage I only managed to check out one massage centre, Arena. The boys were all muscular guys that I could've easily gone with any of them. I chose one fair skinned Thai from the north and took the 1 hour VIP room oil milk massage (around THB 900 - big room and comes with tea/coffee. But for some reason, the shower room smelled a little off that even my guy commented on it). I was told that the minimum tip was THB 1000. His massage was a little too light for my liking (had to nudge him to increase the pressure) but it wasn't really bad (since I just wanted a relaxing massage anyway). The afters were alright, with some foreplay before he finished me off. He offered to finish as well for some extra tip (as it was pretty early in the afternoon) but I declined. I did still tip him more than the minimum since I enjoyed his company and conversation (even with limitations in the language department). Those were some of my observations on the gogo bars and massage centre that I went to. I am already looking forward to my 2024 trips there, as there were a lot of guys from the bars I would love to off.

Hi all, I've been reading (and benefiting) a lot from the reports made by members here, so I thought I'd make a little contribution by sharing my own report from a recent short trip to Bangkok. I'm not much of a storyteller, so I thought I'd just share my general observation as opposed to going on a day-to-day format. For some context, I'm a Southeast Asian guy and my trip to Bangkok lasted only for short few days. It's my first trip to Bangkok since the pandemic, so I was just checking out what's changed since I was last there. Bars I was able to check out Tawan, Moonlight, Jupiter, Hotmale and Dreamboys during this short trip. Here are some of my observations: Tawan: I was here twice, once each on a weekday and a weekend. Drinks for both nights were THB500 (didn't off anyone, so I didn't ask about the off fee). The new location was just too small for my liking, especially when compared to the other bars. It didn't help when the captain tried to squeeze patrons together (I guess I can understand why) which limits the possibility of me having a boy over to chat, seeing how others could clearly here my possibly not-so-decent conversations with the boy 🤣. There were just one or two bodybuilders during the weekday (with a few more on the weekends) while the others (there were possibly around 10-15 guys on the weekday and a few more on the weekend) were more bear-ish, twunk-ish or twinks. The show still had the same format as before, with the bdsm routine coupled with a few dance/drag show. I didn't stay till the end of the show though. I noticed that the guys were a little more pre-occupied with their phones than trying to get the attention of new patrons (quite different from how I recall the guys there used to be). The only times I've seen them smile or greet patrons were when they seemed to know the patrons (presumably from previous experience)...or maybe I just have a resting bitch face that pushed them away. 😅 But I would have still offed a few of the guys there, hopefully in another trip. To be continued...

I've been an avid reader on this forum and used to frequent BKK prior to the pandemic. Just my 2 cents' on this topic: I'm a 35 yo gym fit guy with a healthy (i think) sex drive but in all of my trips to BKK, I rarely have sex with the guys I meet there, paid or otherwise. I remember some trips where I didn't have sex with any of the guys I met onlie and off'd from the bars. In fact, I've actually off'd guys from the bars just to have them accompany me for a drink or late night dinner. Same goes for the guys I meet online. Occassionally, things progressed to some fun times in bed (I'm not a celibate lol) but it's not always the case. I think not having sex everyday on your vacation is not something to dread or be regretful of. At the end of the day, I just want to enjoy my vacation in Thailand. That may, or may not, involve having sex with the guys I meet. Sometimes, it just means relaxing at the pool of the hotel or dinner at a slighly fancy place or just exploring the different layers of Thailand.
