Popular Post VancBCMan Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have been on this forum for a while and read up on the latest information when I’m about to take a trip to Thailand. I have posted very little, but thought that I might share my experiences at the 2 clubs that are talked about the most on this forum – Moonlight and Jupiter. My sincere gratitude to all the posters on this forum who have willingly shared their experiences about their visits to Thailand and kept members updated on the latest information about the clubs/ massage places. Plus, shared information on a myriad of other topics that are very useful for the first timers as well as seasoned visitors. Some of the posters have written amazing trip reports, sharing vital information. My hats off to you all! I am currently in Bangkok, staying at a hotel on Thanon Surawong – a hotel that is familiar to most of the forum members. Bit about my flights to Bangkok before I talk about the Clubs… I flew in from N America very late on Christmas day. The trip was very long (for me) - more than 20 hours flight time, including a stopover in Seoul. Service on the North American airline was decent. The flight attendants (mix of male & female) were reasonably attentive. The meal served was also decent. The 2nd leg of the journey - flight from Seoul to Bangkok was on Korean Air. I had to transfer from Terminal 1 to 2 in Seoul, taking 2 short shuttle trains from one terminal to the other. Signs in English were good and those staffing the Information Booths were also very helpful. The younger flight attendants (all female, expect one) on this flight were very polite and friendly. However, not very attentive when the meal was served. Example: bread was not served to all with the meal, even though butter was on the tray. The meal was also so-so. With the long journey, it took me 2 days to recover fully from the travel. I will likely break my journey next time I travel. I have always done that in the past - even if I have to go through immigration, check into hotel and get used to the new temporary surroundings for a day or 2. I went to Moonlight on Sunday night and to Jupiter on Monday night. Both clubs were packed during showtime. I went to both the clubs early (around 9:15 pm) to get a decent seat. My comments about the 2 clubs: Facilities: The cover charge for both the Clubs was 500 Baht, which includes 1 drink. Jupiter looked larger than Moonlight. Both seem to have similar size stages, but Jupiter has a short “catwalk”, where the boys parade. I found the seating at Moonlight better, as I could sit on one the couches at the back. There are similar couches at Jupiter, but these are closer to the stage and were full by the time I got there. I was able to select the seat at both places – on the couch at Moonlight and stool at Jupiter, providing decent views of the stages. The sound level at both locations was fine, not at ear-bursting level. The temperature at Moonlight was comfortable, but it was freezing at Jupiter. I left very soon after the first show at Jupiter since I was freezing. It took me several minutes to warm up outside in the hot weather. Host Greeting: Friendly greeting at both locations. At Moonlight, the mamasan recognized me right away from my last visit earlier this year, in January. He sat with me few times, pointing out the boys who are my type. He was not pushy about offing a boy. I tipped him at the end for his help. At Jupiter, the hosts left you alone and did not come by to ask about offing any boys. Clientele: Most of the audience was Chinese at both locations. I would say, at Jupiter it was almost 90%, with about 10% females. I noticed very few females at Moonlight. The Boys: The Mamasan at Jupiter said there were 40 boys at the Club that night. At Jupiter, there were 25 boys in the parade. Some may have already left with clients. I found the boys at Moonlight a mix of next-door type and ones with well defined bodies. The boys at Jupiter were more handsome (to me) and had very good, well defined bodies. At Moonlight, they did not smile much and did what they needed to, when parading on the stage. On the other hand, the boys at Jupiter paraded like models – similar to what you see at a fashion show – so more professional in that regard. The boys at Jupiter also smiled more. The Shows: At both Clubs the show started at 10:30 pm. At Moonlight, it lasted more than an hour. At Jupiter, the initial show was only 30 mins. I did not stay for the 2nd part as it was freezing in there, with the A/C on at full blast. I had to get out! I found the show at Moonlight more creative and unique, with elaborate costumes. At Jupiter except for a couple of acts, it was lip synching to songs and some dances. The dancing by boys at Moonlight was average, even with elaborate costumes and the unique acts. The boys at Jupiter were more in sync with the music and their dancing bit more professional. The acts at Moonlight were very different from the ones I saw about a year ago. The ones at Jupiter seemed pretty much the same as few months ago, except for the act with the boy doing a dance routine with a hula hoop. Even the songs seemed to be same at Jupiter. All in all, I would say that for me, Moonlight was a better experience, even though the boys at Jupiter were hotter! The full blast A/C may have something to do with that experience. I will try and visit some of the other clubs during the rest of my stay in Bangkok and try and give my impressions of those visits, in case folks here found this posting interesting. traveller123, Will7272, DivineMadman and 10 others 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Jupiter back seats are definitely too cold even for me. If u can, try to seat on the front nearer to the stage, where temperature are more tolerable. Agree that jupiter boys are more handsome and their mamasan wont bug u until u call them, unless you are already a regular there, then they will be very helpful in finding u a boy. Moonlight mamasan and even waiter will keep asking you either about boy or drink when yours is finished, but it wasnt overdone, and if u say u want to see show only, they wont bug you anymore. Weird that you feel boys at moonlight didnt smile, at least boys ive taken before will always smiles when they see me and wai or wave of course in hope of another off. Jupiter on the other hand, i figured the boys is having a hard time to see those in the audience due to layout and lighting but again those who ive taken, when they see me, will always smile and wai. I always like shows at moonlight better for sure. The models are not just eye candy, they are mostly great dancer too. But big cock guys at moonlight are not my type at all. Jupiter boys on the other hand, those that did the show are hot. But only one or two guys can dance properly. The rest are too manly to pull some of the moves lol but that is also part of their attractiveness BL8gPt and vinapu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VancBCMan Posted January 1, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2020 NYE at Moonlight I went back to Moonlight on New Year’s Eve (NYE). It was packed at showtime. I will stick to the earlier format of providing comments on each category, but try and combine some for ease of writing (and reading) Facilities and Host: The cover charge was still 500 Baht on NYE. I thought it would be higher this night. The mamasan I have previously met was there to greet me and found a seat for me on the couch at the back. A tip goes a long way! I tipped him again as I was leaving. The music was much louder this night. And was jacked up even higher during the show. The bass was turned right up; you could feel the pounding on the walls/ pillars. I truly feel sorry for the folks who were sitting beside the speakers. The temperature again was fairly comfortable. Clientele: There were more women on NYE, compared to Sunday night. Also few more non Chinese customers on NYE. The Boys: There seemed to be fewer boys on stage this night, as some may have already gone off with clients. I did not see a couple of guys that I fancied on Sunday, hence this observation. The same models were on stage, as on Sunday. Nicky is quite a showman when he comes on stage, whereas Babe is more humble. Babe received 4 money garlands (each one was 1,000 Baht, I believe) and Nicky got 1 When they came back on stage for their 2nd intro, Babe got 2 more. The Show: The show started a bit late, at 10:45pm, so that it could continue till midnight. A couple of performances during the main show were different this night. Having looked at the dancers again, I agree with Spoon and Jason that the dancers at Moonlight are very good. The group dance with all the boys on stage is very uncoordinated and not much of a dance. This likely clouded my judgement about all the dancers not being as good. As a side note, Babe is a really good dancer, with the right rhythm and moves! Closer to midnight, all the mamasans went up on stage to dance with some of the stars. My fav mamasan certainly had the right moves! The waiters also joined in for a short while. All the models were on stage as midnight approached and were really living up to the beat. They were also on the floor for a short time, dancing to upbeat music before going back on stage. There was no official countdown to midnight. The models stayed on stage while a male and female performer took to the stage, singing 3 songs. That took us to about 12:10 am. The rest of the boys then came back on stage and their parade routine began. As the guests were leaving, we each got a small present – mine was a pair of red boxer shorts with Moonlight logo on it. That is it for my 2nd visit to Moonlight on this trip. PS. I forgot to mention in my previous report that at Moonlight, clapping after a performance was very subdued. There was more clapping at Jupiter. GWMinUS, vinapu, DrimVoiz and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An error on my part! no, it was me who underlined that sentence when I was quoting you. I like Jupiter's boys looks and their shows but always, even in old location, found smiles lacking. But no doubt you are right because in Sept and Oct when I was there I noticed some improvement in that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
