Londoner Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 What are the current recommendations for host bars in Bangkok.? Welcome looked busy when I was there in Balcony a couple of months ago while Banana on Soi 4 less so. However, I understand that there are other floors to that establishment...are they just bars with hosts too? And what about Patpong 1/2....anything similar there?

emiel1981 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I wonder the same myself. Haven't been in BKK for 2 years now, and what I can read in the forum a lot of things have changed. In a different post I found: On 12/6/2019 at 9:54 PM, DrimVoiz said: Just 2 suggest, for go go bars, if you like model-looking boys, try Moonlight & Jupiter2018, for bodybuilder-type there's Tawan, for twinks there's Screwboys and Lucky Boys...but my best off (take the boy 2 your hotel) is still in Dreamboys, standard rate of boy is 2,000 baht if you off him, if you just table him, price of drink + 200 baht, and entrace fee of most bar is 500 baht but some are cheaper which includes 1 drink and viewing the show. Did anybody actually visit Tawan lately? Much reports on Moonlight, Jupiter and the new Patong2 bars, but what about Tawan? I personally like a boy with a muscular body; not too slim but does't need to be body building type either. So probably Moonlight and Jupiter are good options for me when it comes to the type f guys they have. But I read also reports about the high prices (Moonlight) and most of the muscular type boys are "men" and do not kiss, suck or get fucked themselves (Moonlight & Jupiter)... Me being a top; it will probabaly be hard to find a boy to off there for me that can bttm.... What you guys think are the bars with the best chances for me?

vinapu Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I like Hot Male outside bar and it's hosts even if they are mostly twinky types but friendly Londoner and Will7272 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggobkk Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hot Male outside bar is a good place and it’s attentive hosts are a plus. Down stairs, Red Dragon is just getting its act together. It’s part of Freshboys, so before the FB show the grabbers serve as hosts. Numazu mentions it in his reporting. And it will feature in my report when Im recovered from a really bad cold. reader, paulsf, vinapu and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Banana on 4 (strangely, their illuminated sign outside hasn't been on for months) premises has, on the floor above ground, Banana Room Club a small gogo bar, formerly fresh Boys on soi Twilight. Owned by the host bar ' Welcome' also on soi 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pong Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 A HOST bar is a gay bar that has (some of its) staff for rent (called off, or pay barfine). They may be waiters or not. In Pattaya pretty common and called bar beer. This however has never been the practice on soi 4, though many a freelancer used to hang out there. Comes to the same-you have a temporary willing BF, but there is no barfine/off to be paid to bar. If those hosts are also dancing, or pretending to, its usually called aGOGO. This is/was the most common format in Silom/around Patpong bars. Thai style bars sometimes have friendly guys for rent as company during your stay in the bar, pay by the minute! Quite uncommon though for usual gay bars and for farang. Much more common for str8 ladies and also in Japan. Much more common in Thai bars is the KaraOK concept, not really beoved by farang. As usual about all these concepts are imitations of how the much larger str8 bars work and ofte were initiated in Japan. vinapu and ggobkk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Welcome (Soi 4), Banana (Soi4), Hotmale (Patpong). Red Dragon may be good late in the evening ; I was too early on the nights I was in Bangkok. Will7272 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reader Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 If you were just about to climb the stairs to Freshboys, the bar is immediately to your left. It's open on two sides (Patpong 2 and the portico side ) just in front of Screwboys. It has small tables, a sofa and small bar. The Freshboys waiters (all will be wearing numbers and acting as hawkers before show) are offable. Don't be surprised if they find you before you find them. vinapu, Will7272 and BL8gPt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just a beer bar in PP2 and just one of those bars in the strip of bars along that Soi? Red Dragon is the very tiny bar DIRECTLY in front of Screwboys door and TO THE LEFT of the the staircase leading up to Fresh Boys (when standing in the soi looking at the staircase). When you exit Screwboys, just take two steps (literally two steps) staight ahead and you are already in the bar. There is also an auntie bar to the right of the staircase, which is arguably also red Dragon, but the name sign of "our" Red Dragon bar actually says "Red Dragon", whereas the girl bar's sign says "Dragon Bar" with a very small red image of a dragon to the left of the words. Both name signs are rather small and on the wall inside the bars and thus almost invisible, so not a good guidance to find the bar lol. Our new member @Milk78 made the mistake going to the bar on the right (not left) for our meetup, but I spotted him easily Note: female waitresses = wrong bar single male bartender = correct bar LOL floridarob, vinapu, Will7272 and 3 others 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are referring to street view in maps.... Well that quite obviously is outdated, they can't just drive around the cities every month or two. A LOT has changed in that corner of Patpong2 in the last 6 or 9 months, so google streetview will give you zero current information. I don't know what SIDE LINE is or was, it certainly doesn't exist now. Up the flight of stairs is indeed Fresh Boys. whereas below to the left, as described, Red Dragon bar. Only the girl Dragon Bar to the right is unchanged. GWMinUS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
