    Day 10, still in Phnom Penh

     In the morning we turned fully synchronized , he wanted to go to the gym and me to Royal Palace right after they open at 8. Our good bye embrace was  quite long and then for  first time in my zillion meetings with boys in Thailand and Cambodia   I heard apology from guy that he charged me too much.

     I was quite touched  , I knew I gave him bit more than market but bit doesn’t meant twice or trice more. He told me what he needs money for and for me it sounded quite pleasurable so all I could say was ‘ my pleasure’ and there was not an inch of exaggeration in my statement. That was sweet indeed.

    I could walk to Royal Palace but being strong believer of supporting local industry  I hailed tuk-tuk . Of course local industry thought I may be stupid tourist and quoted me something like 16000 for what it‘s walking distance so I offered 1$ (4000) and kept walking and of course local industry agreed ‘ ok, ok , 1 dollar” , three minutes later we were there and I spoiled local industry with 2000 tip.

     I was one of first visitors and almost felt I have place to myself  for first few minutes. Here are some pictures

    In hour and half I completed my tour  and went to Warsaw for a breakfast hoping they will have rye bread and Polish sausage which is exactly what I was served plus some other cold cuts and cheeses. Again it was too opulent but after 10 days of feasting on hotel and Foodland treats of fried eggs and toasts I cleaned my plate.

      As cold cuts tasted surprisingly un - industrial I asked and my suspicions were confirmed. They have local source , another Polish guy who produces  sausages, hams and other treats. Chesses were from the stores though . Who would think ?, Polish ham made in Cambodia ! All that plate for 5$ ( 20000), tea included.

     Then to hotel to pack whatever little I had. On Whatsapp I contacted driver who help me  with his car in October of 2022 if he can t pick me up from the airport. I was surprised answer was immediate and on top of that he remembered  very well me and even hotel I was staying because he asked if I still will stay there. No,  this time instead of Royal Crown and Men’s  I opted for Kings’ Rock on the same side of river, around the corner from Royal Crown and walking distance to Old Market.

    I guess not many tourist are hiring drivers to go to Banteai Chhmar temple so it’s how I become so memorable. He even recalled when we asked local lady how far temple is she told us about 20 minutes by motorbike while in fact it was 1 hr by car. So much about local knowledge !

     I  told him not to rush as it will be my first time in new airport and I want to walk around before  we set off for the city.

    Great report Vinapu. How much is the market rate for a night session with a guy?

  3. When the lads are good to me over time I am good to them. If we know the scene we see when there are few customers and not likely to be many more. The problem now is that westerners are fewer because of inflation (eg flights) and wars, and the Asian customers go to see the shows but do fewer offs. I spent so much cash the last two trips since August but I have to do something for lads I like when times are hard for them. I may sound soft but I have also had cash borrowed by about 4 Vietnamese men, even years ago, repaid this year. Culturally debts should be repaid before the Tet holiday.

  4. It would be nice if their schools mentioned this ( I appreciate I'm wishing for the moon) but, since even the other lads in massage shops don't seem to tell them, we can. And vaseline too.

    I had another lad today who was suggesting massage oil and a condom. Not for me. I appreciate the thought, of course. After the massage I used the phone to translate this concept and tipped him well as he was very good.

    Just about every member who has visited Bangkok has probably walked by it and never took notice. Tonight I went there for pizza for the fourth time and Alley’s Italian restaurant seems to get better each time.

    Located in the alley directly opposite Moonlight, it first came to my attention in a member’s trip report over a year ago, but I can’t recall his handle. But I agree with all he wrote about this place. My favorite: the large veggie (335 bht) that comfortably feeds two hungry diners. Matched with a few big bottles of Chang, you’ll think your back in the original Madrid.

    I ate Thai food there and it was fine. I prefer it to Moonlight.

    I used to like the BBB inn ,anyone remember that place.

    Unfortunately it went down hill towards 2018 and closed down in early 2019 I believe

    I went there in late 2018 to be greeted by loud type gothic hard banging iron maiden music blaring with a disinterested receptionist I had to go look for.

    I asked for a refund and got it from the booking company 

    I first got to know Viet men at BBB Inn in 2014 just before the coup. I still talk to them occasionally now. I recall one of them, sat outside drinking beer I bought from next door, creating a line with a hook from rubbish nearby. In 45 seconds he had a rat caught on his hook swinging in the air. He let it go. Viet men know how to hunt.

    Thank you for using the term go go man. I hope that all go go dancers are at least 18, which qualifies them as men.

    Yes, they are 18 upwards, mostly in 20's. In 12 years I encountered only one who was 17 and he was sacked after another lad informed the bar as it is risky for the bar to let under age men work on stage. 

  8. "Do gogoboys working in gogoboy bars receive salary from the bar, or is their income primarily derived from customers who purchase drinks, provide tips, and engage in sexual services with them?"

    I have asked many go go men about this. My understanding is that most bars pay a small amount (eg 150bt) to regular men who turn up at say 8pm and stay until the close, as long as they do not get off'd. If they get off'd by a customer they lose the 'salary'. Often, if a go go man has a  customer and fails to turn up the next night they will be fined the off fee (eg 500bt) because the bar presumes they are still with the same customer.

     

  9. A Thai go go man, now 29, who I have known for ten years, told me that that all the go go men are not doing it for fun or sex or love but for the chance of a big score with one rich customer or a series of rich customers. He has a house and a car now. A Vietnamese go go man, who I asked why they do the job if it is so difficult to earn enough, echoed this when he replied that they hope to 'get lucky'.

  10. "All wearing white bb shorts and singlet tops bearing names of various NBA teams. Some guys were shirtless." 

    Little more than 2 weeks ago when I was in Screwboys all the men on stage were shirtless. What might have caused this retrograde step? 

  11. Apart from the Covid era I've been doing at least 4 visa exempt entries a year for 12 years. Only once have I had vigorous questioning from an IO who assumed I was working but let me in. I have never worked in Thailand. Leave a gap of time, have a return ticket within the 30 days. I have never been asked to show the money required (20,000 baht equivalent) but I always have it.

    Hi all, first time here to Bangkok, is there any place where i can watch hot guys fucking each other?

    thank you in advance 

    I read that the authorities stopped fucking shows everywhere in Bangkok for 6 months, maybe as a pitch for more tea money to restart them? I was recently in Bangkok for some weeks and went to all the bars and saw none.

  13. "3pm arrives and….grrrrr.  What is it with me today, did I turn into a toad?  No show again, I text and retext.  Repeat the morning remedy with a smoothy at Coffee Grinder and a massage at Prime.  Around 6pm, 3pm-er is texting that he overslept and could I come tonight and take him from the club.  I say no, gently remind him that the idea was me to avoid the 800 THB off fee."

    Are you able to share the number of the no show?

    welcome home!

     

    reading this got me salivating for Bangkok and many guys and places inside it.

    haggling over price by Swampy taxi driver sounds like novelty item, not that I have much of experience taking taxis there,  as noted I like the train.

    very refreshing to read how somebody sees Silom ghetto after such long absence, as you do next round you will notice even more changes. 

    Leaving hotel turn left on Suriwong and after 2 or 3 short blocks you will see XOne in the corner , in last few trips consistently having the best exchange rates.

    Intrigued to know what that Tawan BDSM is, other venue under their umbrella? or it's just ad location across the bar? Tempted to jump on the plane to check myself .

    nor surprised you carry tea to China, Sri Lankan is better

    Have fun and don't forget about us !!!

    p.s. you not only one missing Yoyo

    Utterly agree that X One Surawong has the best rates to change money. Ignore all the other exchanges on Surawong. Or the gold shop and the red shutter place across the road from that on Thaniya are ok too. 

  15. The bar was inviting models to apply to work on its Facebook page on March 9th this year. But now it's two months later. The once I went there were men on stage but I fancied nobody in the bar. Some twinks would improve it. If the offer was attractive I would walk there from Patpong.

    The bars will be closed from 6 PM  13 May (Saturday) until 6 PM 14 May (Sunday). Possibly some bars may remain open but no alcohol sales, but unlikely. Massage shops can open.

    And no alcohol sales during that time period.

    Last Saturday Screwboys was open with soft drinks. The other bars on Patpong were closed. As you say, Sunday is normal after 6pm.

  17. I have been asking the bar lads I know how long they think short time for 2000bt should be. I thought 1 to 2 hours. Very varied answers. From Viet men working go go bar in Patpong: "40 minutes; 60 minutes". From Thai/Laos men working host bars in Pattaya: "For me, a short time spent with customers 2-3 hours is 1000 baht, but if a long time spent with customers is night until noon or the afternoon of the next day is 2000, it's a reasonable price". and "about 1 to 2 hours". It shows it's good to discuss the time and what we do and the fee while we are in the bar. I admit I don't always do this at 1.30am.
