damn that is scsry .. did anyone get arrested?

I don't think they checked for illegal workers. Just to make sure all the bars follow the rules and close by midnight. And everyone did (Fresh Boys, Dream Boy, Hotmale, the girl bars in soi 2, the whole soi 4, DJ Station and GOD, as far as I can tell)

I stand corrected. Dream Boy guys are still in jeans tonight. 

When I got out of Dream Boy at around 11h55, lights were already off at Fresh Boys and boys were leaving in droves. I asked some Viet boys in Vietnamese what was going on. Turns out it was a police raid. Because of the underwear issue? They said nope, just a regular check, so the bar had to close at midnight. I checked back at Dream Boy and they were closing down too.

Just checked in with both Fresh Boys and Dream Boy staffers. Positively confirmed.

Also a drag show is going on right now (to celebrate ???) in the soi 4. Any members there?

Are Mondays particularly quiet ?

I guess so. When I mentioned it to someone in Silom 4, he said "Oh, because it's Monday night"

Answering Min's question, the MB's request for more than a photo of your face was inappropriate. And I wouldn't have responded on the basis of there being other, less demanding fish in the sea. A face picture should be enough; you were, after all  the paying customer.

I wouldn't either unless the boy is exactly my type.

If he's travelling 20km, I'd want to know what the taxi fare would be before agreeing to pay it, as he could choose to inflate the figure.   

I'm guessing it ought to be over 300 baht each way, total ~600, which is fine if he's only asking 1000 ST.    

He first asked for 200 one-way or 400 two-way. Then when he reached the hotel, made an adjustment for 100 more. So 1500 in total.

There are various defences against this problem, including:

(i) Asking for a picture taken today

(ii) Stating "if you don't look like the photo, we don't meet, OK ?".     Some drop the conversation at this point, so the filter is working.

(iii) Being observant.

If the boy stays in the area, I often ask to meet for coffee first. Yesterday, I asked an MB on Hornet, who also looks very twinky in his pictures, to meet first. I offered to buy him a drink in Silom 4. Below is his response  (see the picture attached). Should've asked him to meet in DJ station

My 1st take from those questions , is that he is gay and wants to make hookups, have sex...and make money at the same time. So if he's not interested in you, he won't go or will come up with some other requirements that will make it unlikely that you will go. If he's interested, he gets sex and makes money.

That was my impression too. He's indeed gay and got hard even before I did

Finally, I got it was him but MANY years ago.

In my case, a couple of years so he's still passable.

Only 4 guys?

Well, when I poked my head in around 9pm, there were only 2. The quantity (but not quality) doubled in the course of an hour

[New Bar Soi 6 : "New Twilight"]

I was in New Twilight last night, around 10pm. 5 or 6 groups of customers, not bad for a rainy Monday night. 350B for a soft drink.

They had 4 floor boys in total, who were fully clothed (not even a sleeve or seam off) and stayed on stage the whole time (Some members reported 20 guys during their visits, so I guess it was just my luck).

Their shows, obviously home-grown, were amateurish with some performers in slow motion trying to remember their next moves One of the dancers is out of shape, bald and beer-belly in a tight, he looked more like a customer than a performer.

When I left, no problems of Marmasans rushing in for a tip (maybe cuz I don't look like I have much money to throw around).

(A question from a long-time reader, first-time contributor)

Asked an MB on Hornet to come to my hotel in Silom. He's more than 20 km away. Look very cute and young in the pictures. He asks for 1000B ST, and the taxi fare (both ways). I guess that's fair. Then he asked if I play safe sex, have lubes and condoms, etc., you know, the usual paraphernalia. I guess that's reasonable too.

Then he asked for my face picture, my half-body picture, then my full-body picture (kinda surprised he didn't ask for pictures of my last hookup). I was like who's the customer here??? But since he's (potentially) cute, I submissively obliged.

My question is: is that normal for you guys in dealing with on-app MBs or this boy is just a bit high-maintenance?
Also is it okay to put the picture of the boy here?
