Take into consideration - demand is high and bars are full of customers while supply is lower than usual. Go and act fast if you see someone you like. I suggest you arrive early. 2230 was already too late last Friday and there were no good seats and the really hot ones were already with clients.

Hey everyone, starting to write this at the plane back home. I want it done while all is as fresh and accurate as possible. Starting again with an introduction. I'm a 33 year old Israeli, married + 1. This is my 4th trip (and trip report) to BKK. I love travelling alone for sex and party adventures. With the recent addition to our family, I felt an on going, growing desire to feel independent, self centered and have a trip that focuses entirely on MY needs. Don't be mistaken, I love my husband and daughter. But, I needed the break. My husband is well aware of all my needs and thoughts and while he does not accept them happily, he understands them and we find a way to make this work. I have been contemplating the idea of visiting BKK for a circuit festival party for the last 3 years but never got serious about it. When the White Party Bangkok (WPBKK) punlished the dj lineup and I saw 2 names that I liked - Sagi Kariv (Israel) and Suri (Spain) the idea of going started getting serious. Just didn't know how to sell the idea to my partner. Once the rumers of the arrivel of the mother of all gay djs, my favorite love, Offer Nissim, I knew that is my ticket. I will explain more what is Offer Nissim for me, for now lets just say I am a really big fan and my husband might understand if I wanna see my favorite dj in my favorite city. So started talking about it, also in this forum, and as time passed by it got more and more real. This was an expensive trip for me. That is to be expected from a short trip combined with NYE dates. Since this was a 80 (a little more that 3 whole days) hour trip (excluding flights) I did not see any other option than using the only direct flight with our shitty local airline that has bad prices, bad service and planes older than my mom. But also, for BKK they have perfect time slots for both directions to sleep very well and avoid any form of jet lag. That ticket was 1050 USD (and an additional 150 USD for TLV-BKK one direction economy premium) which is considered rather standard for that line at this time of year. No sane Israeli will come to BKK only for NYE weekend so there was no high demand that made ticket prices incline. That was not true for hotels. My gury, Vinapu, recommended that I order as fast as I can the hotel and he was right, prices inclined by the week. I usually stay in Surawong's Meridian but this time I followed Namazu's advice and ordered the hotel near the party area Centara Grand @ Centralworld (Namazu, best advice ever! Thanks). The price for 3 nights was 860 USD. Yes, I know, no one should pay those prices for lodging in BKK. But for me, it was worth it. Also purchased a VIP full festival WPBKK pass for 9000 BHT. European prices for an Asian circuit festival in BKK. So unfair for most of the locals that can only dream to enter there. There should be a discount for them. Of course that makes most crowd for the parties to originate from more wealthy Asian countries. This trip was also in very high risk for cancellation for various reasons so I insured the flight, hotel, party ticket so that I can cancel for any reason up until 12 houts prior the trip (100 USD). So paid more than I'm used to for BKK, but didn't care, this was MY trip and I wanted the best for myself as I don't get everyday to meet my favorite dj in my favorite city. One last thing before starting actually to report, as similiar to previous trips, I started sexting on the apps with FakeGPS a week before. It was on PlanetRomeo that I got a text from the guy that I will spend most of trip with. It was a profile that I would not text to myself. The reason for that is that it was a faceless, PERFECT, torso. Those usually seem unreachanle or fake to me so I don't bother. It's a good thing that he texted me. For the purpose of this report, and in order to respect his anonymity, he shall be called V after his perfect V shaped body. Some of the details are blurred to respect his privacy. So we started talking and he seemed not only hot but nice as well. He was in the WP staff. So we said we will meet when I arrive since he will probably be on a break. I didn't expect to meet him cause this guy is the kinda guys that can have anyone he wants from the party, and with all due respect to myself, that party has the highest percentage of amazing looking muscle gods (or gueez haha). So, after this long introduction, let's get into buisness. Arrived Thursday, Dec 29th at Ben Gurion airport for the 11PM direct flight to BKK. Saw dj Sagi Kariv at the plane, wished him good luck, took a sleeping pill (didn't want to leave anything for chance) and woke up 8 hours later. 2.5 hours later landed 2:50PM BKK time friday 29th. Smell of Suvarnabumi makes me happy, immigration queue (45 mins) makes me anxious. I had to pick up my festival pass by 5PM at Centralworld. Traffic was shitty most of this trip. Used more motor taxi im other cases to avoid it. Arrived at Centralworld 450 PM, took my pass, bought a 2000 bht worth of drinking ticket to use at the party, went to my room and texted V I have arrived to see if he has a break and wants to meet. Checked in Centara deluxe smoking room with king bed. As expected, a high standard, 5 star hotel. V came 10 mins after me, to my room. Overwhelmed by how he looks, I tried just to be cool and not to act excited. I suggested him to rest in his break but he wanted to make out so I complied haha. Connection and chemisry was intense immediately. I wanted to fuck him and he seemed tired for that and suggested after the party. Was fine by me. He asked if he can use the hotel gym later. Gave him my second key room and told him he can use it for the gym whenever he wants. I verified with him that he knows he needs to text me if he wants to come to the room to avoid any awkward situations. After he left, I met my almost monogamous boyfriend from my last BKK trip. The localy based fashion designer. I told him 2 weeks prior my arrival that I'm coming to WPBKK and that I need gay, white, unique party shoes. He did a great job. Met him for in room dining and sex at my place. Club sandwiches and beer were excellent, sex was too. He left at about 930PM. HPSQM (Homos per Square Meter) on Grindr was one of the highest I saw and resembeled Gay prides around the world. I was still a bit horny so invited a hunk aussie that suggested he just come to my room for bj and to drink my cum on his the way to the WP. A short, funny and hot 10 minute interaction. He was very high. Probably E. At that point I was happy and not horny at all. Decided to come late to this night's party cause this night was my only chance to go to the bars. On the other nights the parties were more important than the bars. Arrived at Tawan 22:30. Place was already full. I got a bad seat. There were two guys I would totally off for a muscle worship session but they were both occupied with other customers. Looked aroud to search for others I find attractive but did not find. I decided to leave at 23:00 cause I knew no chance for a good off and didn't want to waste my time on a show I have seen several times. So from there, based on forum recommendations went to Jupiter. Show already started. The show as a show is very enjoyable with some impressive eye candy. Rules of the place were less clear to me: who can be offed? how do I off? But as sexy as the guys were, they all seem unmotivated to be offed and so I just enjoyed what was a nice show. And I also kept in mind that hopefully, I'm returning to my room tonight with a guy that attracts me more than them. Passed by Soi Twilight, and returned to the room to get dresses for my first Asian Circuit party, The White Party: Military Ball. Bought at the WP booths a militay harness and straps to match so I followed the dress code. Left the room at about half passed midnight. Flight wheels touch the ground now. Slept great also on this return flight. Going straight to work. Will continue soon.

On the plane, waiting for take off. Going straight to work upon my 7 AM landing so I hope this 11 hour flight will contain long and much needed sleep. In short, I think this was the best trip of my life. The full report will come soon.

Finally, at Ben Gurion Airport. Good night Tel Aviv! Good afternoon Bangkok!!! https://soundcloud.com/offer-nissim/offer-nissim-sex

Vinapu, does this qualify for "getting ready"?

It is hard to tell. 50 is the new 40 But in general, there are no written rules for that as I see men over 50 feeling comfortable in these kinda parties and men below 30 feeling uncomfortable. I think it mostly depends on yourself. If you know that you enjoy circuit parties, then this one should not feel any differant. If you tend to feel uncomfortable then expect the same... You can always try If I have to guess most of the crowd will be 20 to 45 yo. But also for me, this is the first circuit party in Asia so maybe others will have more info.

Depends on what you define "getting ready". If Getting ready means: Buying fetish party wear, counting the hours till my flight, faking my GPS in the apps and talking to guys in BKK, getting measurement tape and oil, listening to Offer Nissim non stop, then yes I am getting ready! Flight departs in 36 hours and counting! P.S. Till now I always stayed at Surawong area. This time I am staying at CentralWorld. If I off someone from Tawan and we get into my hotel by taxi, I need also to pay him for a taxi back, right?

Yes! I'm going! any one planning on going there as well?

I didn't want to initially write more about it cause it was off topic, but I will add more of my impression with regard to what you have written. Your math is absolutely correct - It is kinda same regarding money but in my opinion WAY better then the offing, massage places, apps and other paying options that LOS has to offer. That Sauna usually has 30-40 guys and most of them are REALLY hot. And by hot I mean ripped, sexual, and endowed. As you pass by them they are showing off all their goods and you can talk a bit to see if there is chemistry etc. And fun starts Immediately in a room inside the Sauna. No wait, minimum surprises. Of course for me it felt like a candy store so I didn't settle for one guy Haha. Spent 200 Eur on 4 very ripped, muscular and passionate guys. Totally worth it. I was kinda shocked afterwards and came again on another day just to max out the experience before I returned home. There are other great saunas in BCN for that as well - for example sauna Casanova which I found to have very hot guys at weekend after party hours. But as mentioned, Thermas is for paying and fulfills that goal to the max. It is clean enough for me but defiantly not Babylon clean. Somewhere between Babylon and Sauna Mania on cleanliness level. lighting is above average - I think on contrary to other saunas where they want people to see less and imagine more, here they want you to see and it is defiantly an impressive sight. Having said all that, BKK is still the best city in the world (BCN comes 2nd). I was just writing about Thermas cause I think it is something worth knowing.

Ill be in BKK Dec 29th noon till Jan 1st eve. Regarding hotel, I'm travelling especially for the NYE white party which is at Centralworld. So, by Namazu's advice, I took the hotel that is at Centralworld called Centara Grand. There is absolutely no good reason to book that hotel if you are not coming for the parties. If you are just coming for regular BKK bar/gogo/massage fun, my personal favorite is Le Meridien which is walking distance from most places of my interest. It is a 5 star hotel so if you are looking for something more modest, there are more experienced people here than I am. I like to spoil myself when I travel to the best city in the world.

So, finally, this happened today: WPBKK18, here I come. Yet another too short trip, but it is better than having no trip If anyone wants to have a drink and meet, I would love that. P.S Namazu, thanks for the hotel (and all the) advice, I decide to go with your hotel recommendation. Will report!

Wow, great trip and report! Didn't have time to read the entire thing, but read enough to get totally jealous. Good job

Oh you're in BKK! Lucky you! Waiting to read all about it and hopefully in less than a 100 days to check it out myself

And now it's official, the queen is coming to Bangkok, and I'm not referring to myself Now I need to start and get things moving so that I'll be able to be there as well.

My pleasure! And thank you for this comment that allowed me to read again my latest bangkok adventure. Just 10 months ago. Seems like forever ago. I need to return. Hopefully soon. Surprisingly, I am coming to Berlin next month with my partner. Or maybe not so suprising since Berlin is the second best gay city in the world We plan on doing the standard gay Berlin experience: GMF, Lab.oratry, Boiler etc. Since I'm with my partner, I'd prefer not to meet with a forum member that has read my posts but I'll take your offer next time I'll travel solo to Berlin or if we meet in BKK (hopefully I'll be there for NYE with Offra and Sagi). קצת עופרה לקינוח, https://youtu.be/mlqGaQhxgmc

And just as I was complaining that the queen only appears once a year at her home country, this was just announced! It is going to be a happy new Jewish year after all (this does not change the fact that I wanna see him in BKK)

Not sure yet but that seems like a very possible and tempting plan. I feel kinda same! I too only have a couple of beers just to get to a nice mood but not more. I am kinda envious sometimes since I see most of my friends on E or G and it seems like they enter another dimension. Problem is that every single person I saw starting with those could not enjoy parties without their substance of choice. So even I am kinda tempted, I don't want the dependency. Considering the fact that I enjoy parties anyway I'm avoiding those. 1. Sounds about right. Although I don't mind being ripped off 2-3 times by BKK taxi since when you convert the ripping off fee back to home currency, it's still usually peanuts compared to being ripped off in a western countrt... 2. That's a very reasonable scenario... Although I don't exit and reenter parties. I usually leave at the end. If I meet someone usually we makeout at the party and if we really click we go at the end to my/his room. I think I'll go for Le Meridian. Still need to think about what you said. I'll deal with it once it becomes relevant. I sure will! Probably will know in about a month - after they announce the special DJ and I talk to my BF about my plans. Please update as well if you are coming! Thanks again!

And as you recall, I usually listen to what you say

First, without even referencing to the content, I just wanna say thanks for your time and effort! And also for the very valuable information you have provided. It's a really great comparison and it did help me focus. I now have a pretty good idea - I will probably go for both. But as I said - not in the same year since I want some diversity. As it looks now, and according to what you have written I think I'll do WP this year and SK next year. The main reason for that is indeed my favorite DJ Offer Nissim. Without him I would probably even not have WP in my list but the combination of 2 of my most favorite things (Offer & Bangkok) tempts me to come for NYE. I will wait for September for the official announcement. I am quite certain that he is coming since WP FB page states that they have a mega DJ coming that will be announced soon. A couple of days before TLV pride an article was published on a major Israeli news site regarding Offer promoting his pride performance. The closing statement of that article is: בסילבסטר 2018 יופיע בבנגקוק. Which translates to: On NYE he will perform in Bangkok. Offer Nissim is a legend in Israel. I am not exaggerating. He used to perform 5-6 times a year until most of the venues got over packed and shut down by the police. We currently do not have any closed club that can contain the gay crowd that come for him. So, it appears that he will only do one gig a year in TLV pride for us (in an open field). This is a taste from last TLV pride. So let's wait and see what the September announcement will state. Although even without him the DJ lineup is really impressive. Especially DJ Suri and Sagi Kariv which are kinda big world wide as well (linked some nice new sets). But lets wait and see. For me, NYE is as meaningless as SK and as meaningless as the Jewish new year (which is in just a month). I'm coming to party . I too will probably go only to 2-3 parties (for sure skipping the opening one). I don't want to force it and I also want a little time to enjoy the city, bars, Tawan etc. I also don't do G or E so I need at least some sleep between parties haha. Regarding accommodation for WP. I usually love staying in Le Meridian on Surawong near the bars. Do you also recommend taking accommodation near the venue for WP or only for SK? Thanks again!!!

I don't need fresh air. I need hot guys haha. Yes, I could do them both this year but I want some diversity in my trips. I thought about WP/Songkran for winter/spring and some european pride or festival for summer/autumn. If I go for WP this year, I'll do Songkran the next year or the year after. I have so many festivals and circuit events I wanna attend, it will take me at least till I am 40 haha. This includes (but not limited) to: White Party Palm Springs, The Week Brazil, Xlsior Mykonos, Mardis Gras Sydney, Taipei Pride, Miami winter party, Montreal Pride, Folsom Berlin and so many more... But all in good time. Now just need to think about WP vs. Songkran.

I'll try PMing him, maybe he has some advice. This is important! What does it mean "places closed"? Bars? Tawan? I'm not flying 10 hours just to discover my favorite bar closed... In general I will add some information that is guiding me. As mentioned, Songkran sounds like the best time of year to come for sex & party. But 2 things are guiding me towards White party on NYE. The first and obvious one is that NYE is only 4.5 months away. The second and more important one (for me), is the DJ lineup. They recently published the DJ lineup of the white party. That lineup is very impressive with some world top DJ's. Also, they have the main DJ unrevealed yet. It is rumored that my favorite DJ is the one: Offer Nissim. If this is true this will make this DJ lineup one of the best I have seen concentrated in one festival. Last year's DJ lineup of Songkran pales in comparison to the White Party's lineup (this is of course also a matter of taste and opinion). So it sounds like it is going to be a very good white party. But, if Bangkok and the bars will be closed then maybe it is better to be patient and go for gCircuit on Songkran. Also, If it is true that much more gay guys are coming worldwide that makes it also something to consider. Any more thoughts or advice?

Totally agreed! I visited that place on the same trip, last October. Reported on the 4th paragraph of this link: http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/10608-here-i-go-again-bkk-oct-2016-report/?p=98922

Not sure if only on Sunday evening. But certainly it is not always open since it was closed on Tuesday afternoon on the same week.

Hey guys, it has been way too long since my last visit to BKK! Now that I have setteled into parenthood, I feel again the need to visit my favourite city in the world. My partner and I have a new agreement in which I am entitled for 2 solo sex trips a year. After returning last week from Barcelona I am now planning my next one, preferably to BKK. I have for this a long weekend which I will dedicate fully to BKK. Trip goals are circuit parties and sex. My question for those experienced in sex and party BKK travel: which is better, White Party or Songkran? Any thoughts or advice? I know it is a little early for this but I need to start planning if I am going for new year's evening. Having a baby (which is great! BTW haha) makes planning more difficult. Off topic - Sauna Thermas in Barcelona is rentboy heaven. I have never seen or been in such a place. For 50 euros short time you get to fuck muscle gods that resemble or even better than those in Tawan. And, in my opinion, they are way more sexual. Highly recommended!

You recall correctly. When I was in Babylon Oct 2016 that area was open on Sunday evening (but not on a Tuesday afternoon). I think it is only open on specific times of the week. It is a naked zone. It is located on a lower level with special stairs. There is a staff member that takes your towel and gives you a bracelet for you to take your towel back upon going up. It is indeed a semi open dungeony area with some open and some private space for play.
