Let's say i have a reason for a somewhat positive opinion of Dreamboys - perhaps the only reason for going there every visit to Bkk 😀😀. Mind you my time inside there was limited as I had spent at least 30 minutes wandering the Soi outside hoping to catch a glimpse of famous Colonel Sanders look alike who I understand patronises nearby world renowned eatery

Last week I decided to escape the heat in northern Thailand and enjoy a few days in the heat of Pattaya and Bangkok. Firstly a shout out for Mikes Taxi for the Bkk to Pattaya trip - never a problem with bookings and from my few experiences on time and very good service. Only 2 days in Pattaya - i enjoyed time at a very quiet Dongtan Beach athough my no.79 beach massage man was around both days. At night i visited Nice Boys, Toy Boys and XBoys. The latter has a show which included one explicit final act - a handful of customers. Always amazed at the stamina of star performer Bang. Toy Boys had several asian customers including several females, one of whom delivered 20 thb tips to the stage boys. At least 20 boys. No. 77 from Myanmar and No. 85 from Cambodia were delightful company. I find the stare gazing technique of some of the lads a little amusing. Much prefer the aloof get me out of here look more appealing 😃. Nice boys had at least 10 boys - all willing to show their wares.Must admit that this visit was much more enjoyable than my sombre previous visit a few months before. More life in the boys and less intrusion from staff. That area seems to be the place to go for middle eastern food Also squeezed in a night massage at Paradise Spa in Boyztown area. Then to Bangkok - 2 massages at different Olivia locations - both good and extras on offer. Coffee at Coffee Gindr Silom which is very pleasant. My florentine biscuit was delicious. Visits to Dreamboys and Screwboys. Dreamboys has lots of men on stage covering all preferences - my friend working there pointed out a guy on stage who is 50 - ripped and could easily leave his footwear outside my room. The show has lots of ladyboy lipsyncers - the best parts for me are the energetic coyote dancers and the bearded strongly calved (which I admired and felt) performer. Men on stage dressed in white shorts. My old favourite Screwboys - stage lads in white basketball outfits with some shirtless. Prefer the old previous blue and white briefs/ boxers🙂. Busy the 2 times I went with most seats taken - lively atmosphere. More than happy with my Laos companion who was recommended by mamasan. Drinks 350 thb off fee 500thb. Back again in a few months and visit places missed this visit - Arena, Freshboys, Super A, and revisit others 😄

A couple of them have been sitting there a long time 😀😀

Love of my life - or - love of my night Back to Screwboys next week🥳

Forget the drama soak up the beauty of that hotel 😁😁

Dreamboys last night - at least 40-50 boys dressed in white shorts. A respectable number of customers but not enough to match with all the boys. The show was entertaining albeit with the usual lipsyncing ( not my thing) my preference is to look at boys!! The highlight was the young gay audience member who joined the bearded lady boy on stage. Some of the boy routines appeared be still being fine tuned but they offered plenty to look at. As did the older ladyboy who did Donna Summer song - still not sure where all that ribbon came from!!! A wide range of boys to meet all tastes - there was one there who more than met mine. Enjoyed it enough to return tonight

Arrived yesterday afternoom in Bangkok and managed a massage at Arena, a reminiscent visit to Super A and a night at Freshboys. Arena had around 12 muscular options but my favourite Tip had long moved back to Isaan - current alternatives offer more than adequate choices. Ps the escalators work and the seafood places on street level are worth a look. Super A had about 8 boys who are up to the usual Super A standard. Of note 3 of the former staff are still there - has to be more than 8 years!!! Freshboys had at least 20 boys decked out in white boxer style shorts. Lots of Vietnamese choices. Bar was 3/4 full most of the night with male and female customers. Shows were okay - not a big fan of lipsyncing cabaret but boy shower scene/ big cock parade were more than appealing. One thing about Freshboys the lads are very eager - lots of offers lots of enticing glances and smiles, lots of thank yous. One lad put my hand down inside his front to advertise his wares and asked "you take?". PS also walked inside world heritage listed venue and managed to overhear " what you like? I can get for you . You want boy? girl ? ladyboy? or 2? . not a problem"

yp11 - AA does have what you asked about - there are about 5 show boys who do individual performances on stage and then circulate amongst customers to gather tips. I am aware of 4 ex New My Way boys - 1 works at AA and does the show - another works at Route 181 Host Bar which is within walking distance of AA in Chang Phuak - another works at Monkey ToysClub Host Bar which is also in Chang Phuak - the 4th boy I have seen working at Circle Pub and AA but he has not been at either in recent times All the venues mentioned have sites on Facebook.

With the onset of covid and the closure of the venues many of the young men (who are from the Shan Stae in Myanmar) went to work in local construction jobs. Others returned to Myanmar. When the venues reopened quite a lot stayed with the regular jobs they had and consequently drifted out of the scene. Several that I know from pre covid Adam's Apple, New My Way went to work in the host bars here - of which there are several. Adams Apple at present has around 16 young men - a handful do the shows whilst the remainder keep customers company. Some staff returned from pre covid times . Circle Pub which is nicely revamped has fewer staff who appear less twinkish than Adam. The lighting inside Circle is more subdued so the atmosphere is more like New My Way offered. Both venues close at midnight.

For me, on my visit last weekend, Dreamboys was the return to bar - at least 20 boys onstage shirtless but dressed in jeans - all handsome fit smiling and encouraging. My friend and I were the only customers from around 11.00pm till closing at 2.00am. Delightful 😊😊 Several other bars we visited had very few customers except Boys Boys Boys which was crowded

Could not say definitively but I get the impression that some bars open every day with the hope that tonight might be a good night. Re Nice Boys there were 5 boys - only one created some interest with me - he sat beside me but we were under the constant scrutiny of an aged mamasan and 2 of the other boys which was somewhat uncomfortable for me

I went to Winner Boys on Friday - no one sitting outside only 2 staff inside - not a boy in sight - was told "not open inside only outside " no boys come"" Then went on to Nice Boys - that was an experience to forget for me- but i suppose it depends on what lights your fire. My travelling companion was sadly disappointed in that precint as he been a visitor years previously

Adams Apple and Circle Pub are the boy bars in town - both open around 9.00 - 9.30 and close at midnight. Last week Adams had 8 boys on stage with 4 presenting shows before circulating amongst the 9 customers to collect tips. Circle has fewer boys with a show starting around 10 .30. Both locations are on Facebook. Some boys can be taken off from each place. Ram Bar in Soi 6 in the night market has a popular cabaret. Also in Soi 6 is Orion Bar which has a few boys who will sit with you to drink and so earn tips. There are many host bars in Chiang Mai including Maya, Route 181, FinFin, Barocco, Maximo, Meeting, Monkey Club, G2K - most are mixed venues that tend to kick off after midnight. The Apps Hornet, Grindr and Blue'd are usually busy. Not sure what massage shops are open - Classic House near Thapae Gate I know is open and is usually popular. Other venues are House of Male and Club One Seven ( sauna , pool) - not been to either so unaware of their status

Adams Apple remains closed - it was the closest to a boy bar with boys in briefs and shows - Orion Bar and Ram Bar remain open in Soi 6 of the night bazaar - the former has a few freelancers at various times whilst Ram is better known for its cabaret show. There are several host bars in CM but mainly mixed venues - Route 181, Pose Club, Maya Club, Barocco. These venues don't really kick.off until 11pm. Usually 20+ lads on stage - and you pay around 250 thb per hour for them to sit and drink with you. Whiskey bottle with free mixers 1500 thb. These venues definitely not like Screwboys or HotMale in Bangkok but the lads can be fun and attentive.

Chiang Mai is showing signs of life again particularly with the approach of Songkran - Adams Apple remains closed and Pandee Bar, Secrets Bar have ceased operation. In the night bazaar area Orion Bar and Ram Bar are open and provided cabaret shows. There are several boy host bars Pose, Maya, Route 181 which really don't kick off till 11.00 pm - staff at these venues can be invited to drink with you at a fee per hour - post work arrangements can be negotiated individually. Barrocco karaoke works similarly. Most of these venues have Facebook pages. The gay Apps used here include Hornet, Grindr and Blue'd and there are plenty of members. The authenticity of some profiles is questionable. Chiang Mai old city is a great place to wander around and the Saturday and Sunday walking street markets are worth a visit. Food is a great attraction here as is coffee - some excellent coffee locations. You have to try khao Soy crispy fried noodles atop a coconut curry broth with chicken and yellow noodles. Classic House massage is close to the old city and remains one of the steadfast gay massage places. Woody at Classic House also does tours and he is a really good guy - a day tour costs around 2500 - 3000 thb Some really nice places to visit outside Chiang Mai - Doi Inthanon, Mon Chaem, Mae Khompong, Chiang Rai (overnight is best). However there is haze around at present which limits views. The large mountain Doi Suthep overlooks Chiang Mai and is a nice spot on a clear day. At present one of the fads is going to a watercourse , sitting on a chair in the water and eating and drinking and getting wet of course. Lots of people go to the lake Huay Taeng Tao to eat and spread out in the bamboo huts overlooking the water.

the one in the middle with the black top does nothing for me!!!

As Londoner mentioned CM gay scene isn't thriving at present - most bars are quiet - I was one of three customers at one of the better known ones last night - but as most know if you don't try them out you'll never know. Orion, Pandee, Secrets, CM19 bars are small establishments within walking distance of each other in the Night Bazaar area. Most have a few boys there mainly to sit and drink with you - some boys offable. All bars have some information on Facebook- but not all up to date. Most popular boy show bar is Adams Apple located in the Santitham area. Again on Facebook. Most of the boys are from the Shan State in Myanmar. Boys can be "offed" - ask the mamasan for any advice. Another boy show bar is New My Way also in the Santitham area. It's ok depending if there is an audience. More well known massage establishments are Classic House and Common Massage and Apollo - refer to websites/Faceboook. Grab works well in Chiang Mai for transport - short waiting times and available at all hours. The Apps are active here - Hornet, Grindr, Blued - mind you some profile photos aren't that current. Chinese New Year celebrations in the next few days - mainly I think around the Warorot Market area. And of course walking street markets on Saturday and Sunday in the Chiang Mai Gate and Thapae Gate areas. Relaxing time to be had drinking beer, eating thai food including fried whole fish, snoozing in the huts at the lake Huy Tung Tao particularly if accompanied. You even get to see King Kong!!

Advertising on Facebook open with shows during Loy Krathong - last time I went more than a year ago show did not get under way till 10.30 - 11.00

Thanks - return to Bangkok next month and will have a look

any news on Super A, Golden Cock, Nature Boy - still open?

is there more to the show than dancing boys in jeans ??

very impressive - but in a recent visit to Moonlight the one that caught my attention was a staff member- in the photo posted in this thread he is the one back row left end - delightful

mynakedtop - most of the bars are located in the night market area - Orion, Pandee, Secrets, Ram, Blackjack - they are small bars wirh Ram having a cabaret around 22.30. Low season at present so not terribly crowded anywhere Adams Apple has a boy show - mostly straight Tai Yai boys but they like to have fun - there is a Facebook page with updates if they are having special shows New My Way is similar. Although not primarily gay venues some of the karaoke bars provide a good nights entertainment - mind you some of them don't kick off till 1.00am. Freeguy and Barocco fit this description - mixed crowd but plenty of boys to share a drink with you Other than the songtaews and tuk tuks - Grab is a good mode of transport here. It even mentions a day car hire service A visit to Huay Taeng Tao is worth a visit - sit under a bamboo hut overlooking a lake - eat and drink with some company - very relaxing and inexpensive A car trip to Doi Inthanon is worthwhile - great scenery, spectacular gardens - but a bit of a gamble in rain season lots and lots to do here

The Black Jack Bar has opened up recently where 69 Bar was previously located - diagonally opposite Ram Bar on Charoen Prathet Road - opposite Pornping Tower Hotel and a very good liquor store. The bar is basic - tables out front and staffed by Lisu boys - there were about 8-10 there last night - next door types - all attentive and friendly and boy can they dance after a few drinks. I was the only customer last night - the reason ? probably a combination of low season, wet weather, a new unknown venue, a certain football game. Most bars here appear to be going through a lean period at present Also a new massage place opening here next month - Apollo Massage - there is a Facebook page and a web site set up already Off to Adams Apple on Saturday night for the Blackfoot Indian Party (????) PS Pornping Tower Hotel is closed at present for renovations - considering the size of the place those renovations could take quite a long time

yes - G Boys still open last week - the tout was out on Surawong Rd but my companions knew where it was. If I recall correctly it was 100 Pipers - normal size not 1 litre - and @1500 thb - boys could share freely - don't think they got a ticket though like they do when you buy them an individual drink. Incidentally I was somewhere else recently and a bucket of ice was 20 thb
