My regular massage guys know my preference to shower together before massage and subsequently massage in the nude.

Yes, rest in peace. A popular guy. My regular guy knows him personally. He sent some money back to Vietnam to the guy's parents for funeral expenses.

At Freshboys, the minimum fixed price for short time is 2500 baht which is mandated by management. The popular guys are welcome to quote 3000 baht if they wish. At other bars, the price is generally 3000 baht before negotiations. I believe it is because of the quoted 2500 baht price at Freshboys that word spread around Chinese customers which is why Freshboys is popular with them.

1500 to 2000 baht rates for short time is available by freelancers on Grndr and other apps. At the bars, there is a sort of minimum fixed price set by the management. This makes it easier for clarity and consistency when customers ask mamasans about the cost for short time. A minimum fixed price protects the guys from customers who may want to pay less. But of course, the guys are welcome to accept a lower fee when customer negotiate directly with them for services that exclude sex e.g. accompanying customer to another bar to drink.

Love your "live" trip report @emiel1981 Looks like your taste in guys is similar to @vinapu and @spoon

Freshboys is packed with customers most nights. Business is good for bar although the guys don't get as many offs as they would like to. This is because most customers go to Freshboys to watch the show. And #31 is one of the stars of the show! He's a friendly guy and a brilliant pool player. I took him out to play pool with my regular guy once.

My regular guy told me the following information. "Since November 17, all Vietnamese passport holders who have been to Bangkok two times cannot go to Bangkok anymore. All Vietnamese passport holders will be allowed to enter Thailand only twice in 2026." His information is from travel agent who arranges visa runs for Vietnamese in Thailand.

But the customer pays the off fee for the boy in the bar.

Another forum member. Staying at same hotel at same time. Le Meridien. They can meet for breakfast!

Are you meeting forum member this weekend?

How much did he ask for?

I will be there for 11 nights. It will be my main place for meals - breakfast, dinner and supper!

Change of date. 28th November to 9th December

I reckon it was money.

I arrive that evening and am available at 9pm after I check into my room.

30 days!

He will cost quite a fair sum of money!

Maybe they were already offed by customers on the nights you went!

I've not known of any guy working in bar to ever request for extension. When their 60 days is close to ending, they do a visa run or go back to home country and return to Thailand a few days or weeks later. I know of waiters who are on long term work permits which their employers applied on their behalf. It will be extremely inconvenient for the guys in the bars to be unable to do visa runs. I read that the new rules only apply to land crossings. A friend of my regular guy will not be affected because he travels by air (thanks to wealthy regular customers!) I believe many guys in the bars are adopting a wait and see stance and crossing fingers to see how the rules are implemented.

Thank goodness I didn't plan a trip this weekend to meet my regular guy! On Thursday, the Thai government announced news on entry restrictions at its checkpoints with effect from next Monday 17 November to stop visa runs from illegal foreign workers. According to the news, repeated offenders might be prevented from entering Thailand permanently. First time offenders could be required to stay one night overseas before being allowed back into the country. My guy took immediate action once he found out the news. His visa expires in first week of December but he didn't want to risk any chance of being denied re-entry during a visa run when the new rules kick in so he immediately booked a ticket for Friday to Laos and back. Ever since the borders at Cambodia were closed, many Vietnamese had to do visa run to Laos. The trip takes about one day two-way. My guy left Silom at 11pm, reached Laos and got his passport stamped at 10.30am in morning. His new visa is until mid January 2026 so he can be in Bangkok for New Year and Christmas (with me!) without worrying about visa expiry!

The reports of quiet nights at the bars came from weekday nights. Fridays and Saturdays are very different. Lots of customers on weekend nights and many customers took guys off, from my sources.

I still like Boss. My infatuation with him has lasted one year!

Most of the guys at Freshboys have a strange bowl haircut - even my regular guy!

Thanks for writing detailed review!
