It really depends. Instead of setting aside 20 days to eat and drink with VIP customer and earning guaranteed 20k, choosing to decline offer might lead to getting to know a new customer who pays well and eventually become regular customer.

I got curious about prices of cigarettes so I asked ChatGPT. Cheapest to Most Expensive Vietnam — US$0.60–1.20 China — US$0.70–2.00 Indonesia — US$0.90–2.10 Philippines — US$1.20–1.80 Thailand — US$1.80–2.70 Malaysia — US$2.80–3.30 Japan — US$3.50–4.50 Singapore — US$11–13 United States (budget brands) — US$6–9 United Kingdom — US$16–20 Australia — US$16–23

Glad you managed to find your guys for conversations in hotel room. 🤣 I have a feeling you may end up with a mono-Tawan diet.

1000k does seem low but it's guaranteed 20k for 20 nights. Plus whatever additional tips that the rich Asian customer feels like giving during those nights.

They will only tell you information about other customers if they know you well or they are your regular customers. But in case of rich Asian customer at Freshboys, everyone knows him, his likes, dislikes and his habits. I have come to know that some Myanmar guys prefer not to join his entourage every night. They might enjoy drinking or they want to be with their own regular customers.

Maybe one guy every night? What I found out from another guy (Viet guy who freely volunteered to tell me what he knew about customer) is that he only offs Myanmar and Cambodia guys. 10 to 12 guys. Some Myanmar guys he doesn't off (maybe not handsome enough?) but he gives U$10 tips to them on stage. He comes to bar relatively early each night at 9pm and stays until midway of first show at 10:15pm. He takes his guys out to eat and drink and pays them 1000 baht each. He is accompanied by 2 guys, one of them used to work in bar (not sure where). Mamasans and bar boss give him VIP attention and service.

Flirt with more than one guy in bar. But definitely not as many as 10 guys like what the rich Asian customer does in Freshboys!

Freshboy also has a 3-way fucking performance during its show.

I didn't get good vibes from Big Boy last week so I didn't go in. The guy at the door said the bar now requires customers to pay 500 baht for ticket (for a drink) before going in - similar to Jupiter and Moonlight.

Was the customer @vinapu ? 🤣

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Now I know where to take my guy and his friends for supper and beer.

Can you please share location of this eating place with live music? I usually bring Viet guys to Happy Beer Garden but there is no live music there.

What I mean is that forum member and I are flirting together with the guys in the bars. One guy each. Sometimes more.

Me too! I am a leisure smoker. I also enjoy smoking with the guys and chatting with them. I also give them Japanese cigarettes (Mevius) that I buy as a carton duty-free from airport. They appreciate the cigarettes because they are different and they find them exotic.

I can't wait to read about your next trip!

I don't remember where the copy was made in. But Music Guy had a good laugh when we saw that the authentic Adidas shoes had been made in Vietnam - his home country!

When Music Guy and I were at Centralworld, we saw the shrines outside. We also saw many ladies praying with roses in their hands. According to popular belief, praying with 9 stalks of red roses will enable a person's prayer for love to come true. It is even said that the most auspicious time to offer prayers is Thursday at 9:30pm! When I explained the belief to Music Guy, he shrugged. He is Catholic and of course I know. He always prays and says "Amen" before meals.

From my interactions with guys in the bars, I found out that there were sometimes situations where customers didn't have enough Thai baht to pay. One guy proudly showed me a Hong Kong 500 dollar bill (equivalent to 2000 Thai baht) that a customer recently paid him with. On the subject of currencies, I believe many guys at the bar would have accumulated bank notes in a variety of currencies (e.g. US$, Euro, yen) given as souvenirs from customers for them to remember them. Until their next visit!

When I visited forum member at Quarter Silom one morning, he showed me the brand new currency exchange machine next to hotel reception. You can insert foreign currency into the machine and out comes Thai baht 24 hours. Of course the exchange rate is not good but it's convenient for hotel guests who realise they don't have enough thai baht at 1:00 am.

Besides meeting great guys at night, I did a lot of exercise during the 2 weeks. The pool at the condo is just 2 floors above. Less than 1 minute walking distance. Every morning after breakfast, i spent an hour in the pool. In the evening, I was at Lumpini Park. The mass aerobics exercise is really fun. Anyone could join in for free and I felt so welcomed without being judged for my novice clumsy movements. I got better at following the aerobics moves with each subsequent session. Even when aerobics was cancelled, Lumpini Park is still a good place to jog and walk and there's so much eye candy! My guy says he's happy that I am exercising every day. He says that when he is in Bangkok and I visit, we can exercise together every evening.

Enjoying your "live" trip report! Hope you get your guy from bar and enjoy him in glass shower at Raya tonight!

When I am in Bangkok sitting with the guys, I smoke with them because it's expensive to smoke in Singapore! A pack costs equivalent of 450 baht. Thai cigarettes cost 70 baht. I don't actually buy cigarettes from 7 Eleven. I just smoke whatever the guys are smoking and they offer me. The Viet guys bring in cartons of cigarattes from Vietnam when they enter Thailand. They prefer the stronger taste and flavour. Vietnam cigarettes cost only 18,000 dong which is equivalent of 20 baht!

A forum member sent me a message "U seem to be enjoying the two week more than when you are with your bf lol" I thought about the message and I agree. When my guy is around, it is more difficult to off other guys. I feel guilty that he is working while I am flirting at other bars (typically with other forum members). What makes things even worse is when he has no customer. He cannot stand it when his friends at bar tease him and ask where I am. Yet when I off him, I have to think of things for us to do together (we can't have sex all the time!) During this trip, I offed Music Guy 5 times, Handsome Guy 3 times and Tall Guy once. Music Guy is sort of a substitute for my guy. They are similar in many ways (but he doesn't play chess) and my guy knows I like Music Guy very much. I keep my guy updated every day about who I meet. The guys in the bars also know about my relationship with my guy. They know I won't off them if my guy is around. Because of this very reason, they were keen to meet me. They were the ones who sent me messages every evening. Music Guy is a rogue but he is fun. He asks for additional taxi fare home. He also asks to meet in daytime for lunch and he was specific in choosing to eat Korean BBQ. Of course, after lunch, we definitely ended up shopping (we were at Centralworld after all) and I don't regret buying him original Adidas shoes from official Adidas store compared to the copy Balencigia-Underarmour shoes that he wanted at Patpong shoe shop a few nights ago.

There is a coffeeshop on soi 3 named La Cabra which always has a queue outside. The bread and pastries are prepared fresh every day behind the payment counter. I only had coffee there once last December and it was ok for me. There were no queues last year. The queues only started this year. Successful advertising and branding campaign?

I went to Bangkok just to experience Pride Parade on Sunday 31 May. I was expecting Pride related decorations in the month of June but it seemed a quiet affair. Only some places displayed the Pride flag.
