I would consider staying at Quarter Silom and having breakfast there just to look at the guests!

Seems like they are always having supper every night!

I didn't watch this particular act. Anyway it doesn't appeal to me. Give me guys standing on stage for me to admire and ogle!

Nope! I think the dancing only starts after midnight.

Hotmale had about 12 to 15 guys. Similar small set-up as Banana Bar. But all shows are performed by the Hotmale guys themselves. Few customers on a Friday night. Forum member who went with me on a Friday night multiple bar visit finally found his guy from Hotmale - someone he was already familiar with. Personally, I rarely visit Hotmale because I am already smitten by Hotmale Beer Bar waiters downstairs. 😛 Good Boy's change of name from Screwboys is not the only change. The guys have stopped wearing basketball singlet and shorts. They are wearing white boxers briefs and trunks and showing their chests. In terms of show, it remains the same. Lots of diva ladyboys singing but the audience loves them, especially a group of 4 drunk Taiwanese customers seated at the back one particular night. They were singing along enthusiastically and waving the lights in their handphones as if they were attending a concert. Many guys at Good Boy - 30 to 40 all packed into the tiny bar. I was there for 3 nights and went away with 2 different offs on 2 nights - one Vietnamese and one Laos.

There were some extremely handsome guys at Moonlight when I visited last Thursday night. I did motion to some of them to lift their shirts to show their abs but they shyly declined.

Hey, @musgrave I was there in Bangkok for 2 weeks. I believe you were there at same time as me. We could have been in Freshboys and Good Boy at the same time in one of the nights! Totally agree with you about No. 28 in Freshboys. I tipped him 100 baht when I left. Excellent performer and great body. Yes, waiters are too direct with their request for tips. I see some of the same performers in Good Boy at Dreamboys. They move around different bars at night doing shows. Sorry you fell ill and could not continue visiting the bars during your other nights. Hope we might meet in future (tentatively December this year for me). Looks like we like the same type of twinky guys!

Banana Bar had few guys on stage. Fewer than 10. Average size guys. Show starts at 9.30pm or when there's enough customers. Customers are mostly straight tourist couples or groups. During my visit, I even saw a lesbian farang couple. Show includes shower show as there is a shower with glass screen at back corner of stage. But boy performances are outnumbered by the diva ladyboy singing. There's also 2 male heartthrob singers. What I didn't like is the performers going around audience asking for tips. I was at Banana Bar only once on an early Friday night. The bar seems successful as it is targeted at customers who want to watch a show. Freshboys is the opposite of Banana Bar. It only has a few diva ladyboy singing. There's a shower show same as Banana Bar. These are the only two bars in Bangkok with shower show and even the cheoropgraphy and music are similar! Freshboys has lots of big cock shows including the cock hitting the metal pole. I can confirm that the guys don't use their knees to knock the pole and make the loud hitting sound. It's really their cocks hitting the pole! Ouch! Many many guys at Freshboys. About 30 to 40 every night. What I like about Freshboys is that the guys line up in ascending number when they stand on stage e.g. 1, 2. 3 etc. So it helps with remembering the numbers of the guys. At other bars, the numbers seem random. My one complaint about Freshboys is that it is very dark. Many customers at every show. But most leave after show and don't off the guys. Waiters can be rather direct in asking for tips. Majority of guys and waiters are Vietnamese. I have one regular guy (number 25) who recently started work at Freshboys last week after being away from the scene for many months (he used to be at Dreamboys last year but he was let go after the bar only wanted Thais to work). He's doing well. In just his first week, he has been getting drinks, tips and offs from Chinese customers because he's the only one in the bar who can speak Mandarin. His best friend taught him many useful phrases. I tease him because I know in reality, his Chinese is so limited!

Jupiter has more customers than Moonlight, including casual straight tourists who are there just to watch the shows and enjoy the model walks. Regular singer Poppy is away for 2 weeks. Mamasan said that he went for facelift! So his partner PJ is singing on his own. Jupiter has policy of reserving best seats for customers who buy bottles. Hence, I invested in one bottle of Jonnie Walker and had good seats for the 3 nights I was there. I was there with forum member on one night and we both agreed that some of the waiters are more yummy than the models. When I asked about off fee and expected tip for waiters, mamasan said, "Off fee 500 baht. Tip 3000 baht. But can only go with customer after show finish at 1 a.m." We have to wait to off them? Needless to say, we didn't off any waiter. We sat and drank with two models and it was an entertaining hour with them. We tipped them for their time before heading to another bar.

I was at Hotmale Beer Bar downstairs facing Sol Bar on its last night of operation. There were ladyboy performers standing outside to attract customers. It did not look it would be closing. But the very next night, it was totally closed. "Bar close," one of the Hotmale Beer Bar waiters said. "But it was busy yesterday night. Why bar close?" I asked. Waiter just shrugged his shoulders. Without Sol Bar, that part of Gay Patpong has become much quieter. Moonlight has few customers during the two nights I was there. Babe and models are there but they are not appearing in as many performances as usual. There are some performances where the "normal" Moonlight guys would dance next to the ladyboy singing. From my conversation with manager, it seems they are cutting costs. The bar can pay less per performance for the "normal" Moonlight guys as compared to paying for the models. Even though there are few customers, there are still big spenders. I was seated near to a trio of Chinese customers - two guys and a lady. When it was time to pay, I saw the bill - 16,200 baht!

I just came back from a two-week trip to Bangkok. I visited all the bars at night. I also discovered some interesting places to go to. I won't be writing a chronological and detailed trip report as I have to get back to work after holiday. Sorry! This will just be a summary broken up into parts.

I sent it to you on Line! It was last year!

I spotted one of @vinapu favourite guys having breakfast with farang customer at Le Meridien breakfast. I secretly took a photograph and sent it to @vinapu! I was tempted to say hi to the guy but I decided not to disturb their breakfast. I doubt he would recognise me. @vinapu had introduced him to me when he passed us by a year ago.

Finally we get to read your trip report!

Pride decorations at lobby of Quarter Silom Hotel. And lots of good looking guests! My first time at hotel to meet a fellow forum member.

Me too! I have been staying here since I joined Marriot rewards programme in 2022. But I can only afford normal room and not the suite!

Welcome to 2024! Guys in Good Boy wear white underwear but they are not sexy bikini briefs. They are more modest boxer briefs.

Lovers of guys in white bikini briefs, you can head to Freshboys. When they stand on stage at beginning of night, they are in white shorts. After the first show, they remove white shorts and are in white bikini briefs for viewing pleasure before the second show.

I was with fellow forum member last night and we had a fun night going to different bars from 9.30pm to midnight. - Banana - Freshboys - Hotmale - Good Boy All 4 bars were filled for the shows. The promoters outside each bar did a good job of getting in tourists including straight people. But after the shows, most left. Few offs. I won't say business is grim. Neither will I say it's booming. Each bar has its niche. I eventually found the right guy for me at Good Boy but I could have offed several from Freshboys!

The guys are probably inside servicing customers.

12,000 baht a night! Wow!

I discovered a pool bar which is cosy and private. Only 30 baht per game. Run by ladies. Next to pharmacy near Foodland Patpong. Very good way to pass the time with your guy if he enjoys playing pool. 20240611_194649.mp4

Dreamboys has such an odd pricing! Off fee for guy = 550 baht!

Good decision!

Quickly book air ticket!
