vinapu

I think you are right, that was the name if I recall from the map somebody presented on the forum a while ago when we had previous bout of nostalgia. For me main lesson from first encounter is to do homework before venturing in, it's why forum like this is precious. Who would think about short and long times, LOL

music for my ears is Dreamboy Paradiso still opened or new bar replaced it? It looks that industrious bar owners found a way of resurrecting soi Twilight in new environment.

wait until he undresses...

50-100 if they helped you or you like them ( some are flirty ) , zero if they are pests

that's very pushy, not little. Poor , XBoys or Classic bar style upbringing. Tell them smilingly that you like girls better and do not enlist their help in selecting boy unless you need translation.

no, My Way was in small dead end soi , my first bar was on main drag

My first encounter with Bangkok scene was back in November 2001, post 9/11 attack when planes were flying half empty and tourism was yet to recover . Our Thai 747 from Los Angeles to Bangkok with stopover at Kansai (Osaka) was barely 1/3 full and it made to one of most comfortable transcontinental trip I ever took having 3 seats to my disposal. Only inconvenience was arrival at ungodly hour but taxi driver made good introduction to a scene. We barely moved from Don Muang when he asked me if I want a girl, ‘no ‘ answer was immediately countered with ‘ if you want boy , I have one for you “ so I know gay paradise is not stuff of legends. But I did not take his offer if only because my usual dislike of using of intermediaries. Those days Dreaded Ned website was our Bible and I studied it before setting for that trip so in the evening I took BTS / that trip was only one ever I stay in Sukhumvit area / to Patpong to survey the scene there. Wandering here and there I finally arrived to my chosen bar , name long forgotten which was located along the Rama stretch where BBB Inn is right now. I’m pretty sure at that location them was massage called K-something and my bar was where Take a-Nap hostel is now as I clearly recall there were few steps down inside. Not that I entered immediately. Like every novice worth his name I was circling back and forth and it took probably good 10 minutes walking back and forth along the stretch before I braved in. Timing was good, place was packed, show was going on but mamasan found me a seat, brought my drink and chatted me up. Being inexperienced I confessed it’s my first day of first trip to Thailand and his bar is also my first. It was not actually bad idea as he explained me everything, that boys with numbers on the stage can be taken, off fee needs to be paid, when I said I can’t take boy to my hotel he said that boy knows where rooms to be rented by the hour are and what price would be and most important that boy expects a tip between 1000 and 2000. Only thing left out was short / long time distinction. Seeing that I can barely breath with all those sensation he took a lead and told me that I should take boy number this and that because he is very popular and I will be happy with him. He showed him to me on the stage , muscular and tall, I smiled which was taken as approval and before I could say something boy was sitting beside and it did not take much before he turned very clingy so we both knew deal is sealed. I was ready to go but both gentlemen told me to wait because special show will start now. Yes it was legendary acrobatic Bangkok f***k show, I don’t recall top but still remember that bottom was very attractive muscular guy. Almost as attractive as one which was forced upon me my that enterprising mamas an. When couple started their tip collecting tour among audience and they stopped right in front of me armed with visible 100 baht note, part of their act was done on my lap , to this day I don’t know why I did not get heart attack from excitement as it’s one thing to hear about those performances but another to have it actually performed right , say, almost on me. I don’t even recall mamsan soliciting any tips from me but he walked us both to a door wishing us nice evening which was bound to happen hell or high water because my new companion was actually 100 % my type. Tall, muscular but not overbuilt and smooth like baby and looked mid-20 for me , now knowing that Asians are looking much younger to our eyes I think he was probably even older . We went to short time rooms on ground level of Suriwongse hotel , I don’t recall what was price but definitely nothing eye-popping. It did not take much time for us to undress and land in the shower only to realize seconds later that there are no towels. But system worked because in the same second it was knock to door and some loud scream translated by my guy as towels arrived. Without second thought he went as he was , in Adam’s dress to collect then at the door enforcing my impression that we are not in place for shy people. Next 2 hours were heavenly but moment I remember the best came at very end. I remembered mamsan advice about tip 1000-2000 and was not in the mood to economize so pulled 4 500 baht notes / there was no 1000 bill those days, at least I don’t recall seeing one that trip / and handed over to a boy who made sound I can hear to this day. Embrace was one of strongest ever and parting kiss was longer than eternity . I thought it was just part of decorum and only later I learned that 2000 those days was considered generous overnight tip and for those 2 hours 1000 would be making boy smiling broadly. Lesson learned and I haste to say it was pleasant one. Boy made me happy and I managed to make him happier still , it cost me a bit but did not made me destitute. Next day I was flying to Phnom Penh , when I returned I decided to immense myself in pleasures of massages discovering HIS and Arena in the same plaza and later on Aqua Spa and never returned to that bar. Next year it was gone for good but I still recall that happy sound by the boy overpaid by farang without a clue

looks much older now, he did not do anything good to himself by going bald IMNSHO but perhaps he had other ideas. I like his veiny forearms still

what's wrong with it now?

check that report. page 7 : https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/12116-introduction/page/7/

and we are equally excited knowing another great report of yours is coming !

Great , witty and sexy reads about your recent adventures, too bad you did not go to Senso as I would be happy to read about your take on the place

now you know why I like that bar !

lucky you ! Did that collision result in an off ?

that's the whole idea as goings in the soi were more interesting than goings in the bar perhaps 98 times out of 100 IMHO

We all are different, I'm on opposite side of fence when comes to guys, delicate boyish thinks are definitely not my cup of tea although from time to time I off one just to spice my diet of rough manly specimens which ARE my thing , tattoos or not. Tattoos is thing I tend to not even notice very often. Despite 18 trips I find shows enjoyable as long as male flesh is shown at least just a bit, can't care less about artistic side of those , I want to see men , not performance.

Tawan closes at 1am, if there are enough customers sometimes on Fri and Sat nights they have 2nd show at midnight but "special '' show not guaranteed

Bangkok ! If only to get your assessment of all recent changes. Jasper above summed it all neatly.

I wouldn't worry too much , it's just one hotel in area abundant with gay friendly hotels in all price ranges. I stay there few times and liked hotel but not necessarily so all those patrons surveying my choice of breakfast companion.

I wish hunks in Pattaya would be more abundant and as affordable, lol

We can only hope that ABomb will reopen as boy bar , not extension of girl bar on ground level of Classrooms hotel.

this can be sensed that you are happy man, good for you ! Thank God for a heat wave so we can be treated with your report almost in real time but we understand that vacation fun always comes before forum duties

What about girls from soi 6 or soi Bukaow ? I wish that womanizer Vessey will chip into discussion here as we may be theorizing bit too much

consider it done, LOL I hope your Yoyo from Screwboys is one I'm also familiar with and it that's the case I second your opinion, he is good and handsome boy. Have a good luck in Arena !

strange , but only now seeing picture above I realized that it is all true,
