Freshboys management wants guys to be available on stage for customers when bar opens doors at 8pm hence it mandates 7.30pm reporting time. Guys who do so receive 200 baht. Those who report after 7.30pm receive no money and have to depend on boy drinks, tips and offs.

I applaud these bars who show loyalty to such long-serving employees! It's true that such employees will always have a place in the shows.

Here's my attempt to explain bar logic. Jupiter's models are famous because they are recorded on video when they do catwalk on stage and the videos are uploaded on Jupiter's social media. Perhaps your guy had some fans who noticed he's not in videos nowadays and they asked for him back? Having more models available also projects a better image for the bar. Management probably wants as many models as possible for weekends to make up the numbers. Maybe it aims for at least 20 models to project image of a healthy business. Last reason could be that your guy is one of those rare guys who can hold his drink. Jupiter has many high end customers who go just to drink with models. Not easy to find guys who can drink whisky night after night.

It's strange. If your guy is no longer working at Jupiter, why does he have to pay off fee when he appears there again with customer? This was also experienced by @vinapu in his most recent trip. Management seems to believe that their models are exclusive to them! 🤣 It was considerate of your guy to ask you to save your money. Personally speaking, I feel that the working conditions for Jupiter models are much better than other bars. They only work from 10pm to 1am. Freshboys working hours are 7.30pm to 1am. Good Boys working hours are 8.30pm to 2am.

Bars want to make as much money as possible during high season. I believe during low season, they will close one eye to such special arrangements.

The guys are superstitious. None of them want number 13

It's now December so prices adjusted for high season. At Jupiter, it was reported by another forum member that entry price has increased from 500 to 600 baht.

I happened to take a photo of Dreamboys drinks menu last week. Prices in menu seem to be for low season!

Thankfully no! If numbers are changed frequently, then it will be difficult to keep up! Numbers at bars change whenever the guys go away for weeks back to home country. Their numbers likely to be given to new guys who want to work. Bars will only keep numbers for certain guys. These guys are typically the long timers and they have "earned" their right to a certain number. Of course the guys themselves can request for change of numbers e.g. lucky numbers. Number 13 at Freshboys is usually vacant. It's only taken by a new guy or a guy returning to work after some time and because no other numbers available. (Freshboys tries to cap the numbers at 40). Once another number is available, guys will swap out of number 13.

Yes. I believe the misunderstanding came about because we took things for granted and made wrong assumptions about each other. I have been lucky that we share common interests. If not, we probably wouldn't be together.

Customer is probably well known and went to Freshboys before but decided to go to Hot Male instead that night.

I am glad you like love stories!

Start your countdown, my friend! Unfortunately, my trip didn't end on a happy note because of a misunderstanding with my guy. Both of us did silly hurtful actions. But we are ok now after we calmed down and said sorry to each other. We spent the last two days chatting and listening to each other's views. Now we appreciate and love each other more.

Lots of arrivals on Tuesday morning as I entered departure gate.

Summary of trip Visited every bar in Silom except Banana and Atlas Met many forum members for dinner and bar visits. Met new guys in bars also. Did favourite activities with regular guys (karaoke, watch muay thai, chess and one new activity - go-kart racing)

Just to add on. Saw two big spending customers at different bars Good Boy and Hot Male on Sunday and Monday nights respectively. At Good Boy, flamboyant Spanish customer was tipping the ladyboy diva performers, twinky dancers and even the DJ each 300 baht and more! At Hot Male, an Asian customer was seated with a Laos guy from Banana (I know him for many years). He tipped the 9 big cock show guys in Hot Male, not 100, not 200 but 500 baht each! They didn't even have to go to him to let him touch their big cocks. They were standing on stage and he got a waiter to walk to them with a thick stack of 100 baht notes and started tipping them. In fact, Freshboys mamasan entered Hot Male and chatted with generous Asisn customer, probably to get him to go over to her bar!

Finally Monday. Last day of holiday. My day was spent at Centralworld and Big C doing shopping for folks at home. My guy came over in afternoon. I didn't want to meet overnight because I had a flight to catch the next morning. Dinner was with forum members followed by visit to Circus and finally to Hot Male. At midnight, time to call it a day. End of trip. Until next time, Bangkok!

Sunday was spent visiting a forum member's condo and having lunch. At 6pm, I had a freelancer from Grnder come to my place for massage and extras. Dinner was at G with forum member birthday boy who didn't join last night's karaoke (because his guy didn't like singing). After dinner, we went to Rainbow Dragon to celebrate his birthday with a cake. Owner of bar was generous enough to give free vodka shots. We then visited Hot Male and Good Boys. An enjoyable night with many boys!

Saturday was spent having Thai-Indonesian lunch with forum member, foot massage at Urban Thai (399 baht) and dinner at Shenanigans with my guy before he went to work. The night programme was karaoke and I brought 3 forum members to their first karaoke in Thailand. The place used to be known as Sky Bar but it has a new name now - H.i.M. Most people still call it Sky Bar. 8 of us altogether - 4 forum members plus 4 Myanmar guys whom I know enjoy singing and dancing. It was a entertaining night. We were there for 3 hours from 10pm to 1am. We toasted each other kampei (and Happy New Year and Merry Christmas) so many time that we finished one full bottle of Johnnie Walker whisky! There was nothing left for me to take back to room to continue drinking!

At 10.20pm, our VIP arrived. He had just arrived in Bangkok 3 hours ago. He was in Bangkok to celebrate his birthday. We went to Dreamboys where I had reserved a private booth. I ordered a bottle of black label Johnnie Walker for us to drink while watching the show. Unfortunately, I don't remember much about the show because I was infatuated with a Vietnam boy sitting with me. I call him Mr BMW because he has BMW tattoos. His favourite motorcycle is a BMW. For details on the show at Dreamboys, another forum member has posted his impressions in Patpong forum topic. After the show, mamasan brought a birthday cake to our private booth and the DJ played Happy Birthday song. The other forum members started leaving at midnight to go to other bars to get their guys. I stayed with Mr BMW until Dreamboys closing time. At 1am, I had supper at Foodland with Mr BMW, my regular guy after he finished work at his bar and another guy. Last guy had customer earlier in night. All Vietnamese and all knew each other well. We then went back to room for card games and drinking as I still had half a bottle of whisky.

My guy and I stayed together in the room for the rest of the day and enjoyed each other's company. In evening, we went separate ways. He went to work at his bar while I went to meet forum members for dinner at G. After dinner, we went to Midnight and had drinks and more chats. I spotted Checkers Champion and he took out the checkers set which I had donated to the bar. Checkers Champion had a furrowed brow throughout our game. He was flabbergasted. He had never lost before but he was struggling now. Finally, he said ,"I resign. I lose." He sportingly removed his T-shirt, showing his muscular body. We had an agreement - I lose, I give him 100 baht. He loses, he takes off his shirt for a few minutes.

At noon, we checked out of the hotel and took a few steps crossing soi 3 to Oasis Condominium to move into airbnb for remaining of my trip. My guy was very helpful in carrying my luggage! 🥰 Nice condo unit with kitchen. My guy looked at the kitchen and showed his approval. "You want I cook for you?" Yes, I said and I gave him 1000 baht to go to market. He went out while I unpacked. Half an hour later, he was back with ingredients and supplies. Now it was my turn to go out. I had to buy water for the next 4 days. I came back and saw my guy busy cooking. I hugged him from behind and gave him a kiss. "Thank you for cooking for me," I said. Another 30 minutes later, lunch was ready!

It was my last night in Silom Serene Hotel and I thoroughly enjoyed myself with my guy until check-out at noon on Friday. The bed was soft and comfortable. I also especially love the round marble table in the hotel room which allows my guy and me to play chess.

The delicious food I ate during my holiday! Food in Thailand is cheap and delicious! No dish cost more than 500 baht. Cheapest meal of course is 84 baht American breakfast set from Foodland! XiaoYing_Video_1765327171575_1080HD.mp4

I don't think it is appropriate to publicly answer questions that are so specific to guys working in a bar using their numbers. This is not Google Reviews after all.
