Patpong was alive and well last night. I think all the heavy rains this week brought people out, and they were in a spending mood.   Bars and gogo’s had big crowds .  Lots of groups of people .               
It was a fun night to be out.  Soi 4 packed. Long line to get into DJ Station.    Offs seemed to be the order of the night.    Can they go for 2 busy nights in a row,  let’s see what Saturday brings.

Lucky me landed in Bangkok on a rainless Thursday night for a weekend fling from Singapore. It had been raining the past three nights and many streets were flooded.
Hotmale Beer Bar first floor offers excellent view of the guys at new bar Sol directly facing it opposite. At any one time, about 3 to 5 boys hanging outside for smoke break or dinner when they finish their rotation on stage inside bar. White sleeveless T-shirt and red shorts with large individualised numbers printed on them (similar to sports team shorts) so punters don't have to squint at small red round buttons! Boys are mostly transfers from other bars but all are offable material. Not too old. Average next door slim types. One blonde boy with Korean style haircut was prancing around with shirt unbuttoned showing off his abs.
Unfortunately, I didn't enter Sol so I can't report on show. In any case, could not off anyone as I already have longtime Vietnam guy for the night. I call him kon nuoi (godson) and he calls me cha nuoi (godpa).
Many people walking up and down the street. Perhaps because rain of past few days had stopped so everyone's dying to get out.
And there's a new waiter from Myanmar at Hot Male beer bar first floor. 23 years old. Very very very cute and speaks great English!

I made it to SOL gogo tonight.    Inside basicly same set up as it was with Dreamboys, except all new and modern.   And yes, the big pole is still in the middle of the stage.  Seating is black  vinyl bench type like used at FreshBoys.     Then in front of them row of single seats . Couch’s set up along the stage.    All seating seemed comfortable.    Group of 3 other customers and myself.    

About 10 guys on stage. Around 25 overall.  Rotating fairly quickly.   They were wearing white tennis type shorts and button up shirts that were colorful.  They looked nice, but if you want to see skin it will be below the knees.   1 guy was shirtless, 1 was unbuttoned.   
I think they have a ways to go in their talent hiring.  But that’s my opinion. We all have different likes and dislikes.   No twinks.   More mid to upper 20’s .  As Vinapu always says, you only need one.  There were 2 that got my attention , but a big drop off from there. 
 
Drinks 400.    I had a coke. Brought glass full but not the rest of can.  Half ice, half coke, steep price.  Waiter I had spoke no English.  Everything on phone.    Drink menu, Boy info.   Operating hours.   New place so really pushing boys and drinks.  No customers so lots of waiter hovering .          
I didn’t go to show. It starts at 10:20.   
They’re still doing a little work here and there.  Outside very generic, inside looks very nice.   
I guess time will tell.  

Name is SOL.    Signage is not good.    Opening night,  No touts, No flowers No sign of a Grand Opening.  , No idea what was going on.   I barely saw a customer go in till 10pm.    Nobody could even say if their was a show or not.     He needs to put Marketing high on his list.   
Let’s see what happens with quiet Sunday and Monday coming up.    I’ll try to get a peek inside.

New gogo will be opening tomorrow night.   Lights were on for some last minute training.   Name will be So Club.     Couple of shirtless guys came out a couple of times.  Appearance looked like Dreamboy type guys.   

As of tonight .   There is a gogo opening across from Hot Male in old DreamBoys location.   Scheduled to open next week or possibly week after.    There was music coming from inside, but no activity thru the front door so you couldn’t see what was going on .  Told that they were having practice tonight.    Owner is Chinese and reportedly paid a lot of baht for the place. 
 
Stopped by Screwboys for a few minutes.  About 20 guys working and some head turners.  Working the crowd,  they wanted offs. Some got them just before show time.    Wearing white shorts and basketball jersey tops.    Good crowd.  Almost full.    Actually I think the crowds were pretty decent both in Soi 4 and Patpong 2
Other side of Patpong, I noticed the stalls were down to Surawong.   I left around midnight but noticed the fine dining of Foodland was quite busy.

Day 2.5
To resist the urge of showing up in the bar early, I tried to distract myself by focusing on work and when that proved to be futile, decided to switch to the apps.
Grindr got a reasonable buffet of guys with varying rates quoted with the most common ranging from 1500 to 2000. This can be argued as reasonable if you account for savings from not having to pay entrance, drinks and off fee. But where is the fun in that? What caught my fancy was a good drizzling of gorgeous African guys. This reminded me of how much I miss and want to go back to Brazil but plane fare remains laughably high from where I came from (even my SA friends are unable to visit home).
I exchanged message with one of them who said he's from Ghana. He quoted 4000 and I responded with a non committal reply as I have plans to be out and about that night. We traded WhatsApp details just in case.
When i can no longer contain my excitement, I decided to taxi towards Surawong and treat myself to a foot massage. At least I can enjoy people watching while someone got firm hold of my feet preventing me from marching straight to the bars!
After the massage, I decided to head to Tawan. The nice beret wearing Uncle hastily ushered me inside while trying to explain that it's a "BDSM boy show" I responded with a wink and  he smiled. The interior did not change since I visited last year. I noticed though that there's a set of stairs leading to a second floor/platform/stage. Not sure if it's new or I didn't notice it previously as I was sitting quite far inside away from the stage last time.
One thing I appreciate with Tawan is the fun, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The guys roam around socialising with guests. I even saw one guest with his hands inside the guy's short for like forever. No judgement but I hope he gets an off or a generous tip! 
Maybe I'm getting old but I swear Tawan's clientele especially the Asians are getting younger and younger. My gaze was low-key fixated to a couple of cute twunk until I reminded myself my intention of being here. 
From my peripheral vision I saw a Tawan guy sat beside me but I tried to play it cool. He then introduced himself as Tun (?) and a couple of minutes later, when he starts getting comfy and cheeky, his hand found its way under my shirt giving me massage and whatnots. We kept on chatting during the show reminiscing how the old site across the street was better and how Tawan is now mainly a "show bar" and how rarely they get boy drinks or offed now. I just shrugged my shoulder saying that maybe its low season and hopefully things will be better for him in a few months. He said most guys in the bar goes for around 3500 to 4000 with a few going as low as 3000. I nodded and just gave him a smile.
I was really enjoying my time with him when my phone starts beeping. I stepped out and it was the Ghanian guy who suddenly had a change of heart and lowered his rate to 2500. You gotta love lean season! With that information, I tipped my Tawan guy and bid Surawong good night.
I was a bit paranoid meeting with this Ghanian guy because I'm in an air bnb outside the Silom area and I'm not sure how the guards will react when I bring a guy to my unit. My fear turned out to be unfounded as we even got a smile and a salute from the one of the security guys when we entered. You gotta love Thailand!
In the apartment, we wasted no time and things escalated and got steamy quite quickly. The session was so intense and tender at the same time. He looks much better in person and well built. I could just look at him the whole day. However, there's still that Brasilian or specifically a Carioca "factor" missing from the experience. I can't explain it.
We had a good chat after and I was getting wary that the post-play chat is taking quite a while he might be thinking of staying the night? It's a personal policy that I don't let people I met first time via app to stay overnight - only those working in the bars or GP Sauna in Brazil once I have done my due diligence.
So I pretended and said that I would like to go out and eat and asked him what his plans are. I think he got my cue and said that he'll be making his way home. I paid as agreed plus a reasonable tip. He's too gorgeous not to be given a tip to be honest.
After sending him on his way, I went back to my room and gave myself a high five for a productive day two!

Name is SOL.    Signage is not good.    Opening night,  No touts, No flowers No sign of a Grand Opening.  , No idea what was going on.   I barely saw a customer go in till 10pm.    Nobody could even say if their was a show or not.     He needs to put Marketing high on his list.   
Let’s see what happens with quiet Sunday and Monday coming up.    I’ll try to get a peek inside.
