The Viet guy I referred to moved from FB to DB end last year. There's also another Viet guy from FB who moved to DB in January this year. Maybe that's the guy you heard about. He also has regular Singapore customer (who are richer than me!). And I also know him. Haha.

Nope. My guy's name doesn"t start with letter H. It was another Viet guy who moved to Dreamboys. I know him as he is my guy's good friend.

Me. Second weekend March. Karaoke? 🤣

Foodland is near and convenient! Even though I stay at Raya sometimes, I don't opt for hotel breakfast. I like to walk to Foodland to get breakfast.

Good analogy!

In the case of the guy who quit and moved to Dreamboys, I think this was what happened. He was one of the star performers at Freshboys and really popular. He could get 2 offs in one night at the bar as well as secure many drinks. The boss was probably unwilling to let him go for the night for just 500 baht when he could bring in easily 2k.

Me too. My regular guy always meets me wherever I ask him - hotel, Foodland, Shenanigans or at pool table bar below Freshboys. I rarely enter Freshboys bar itself. When I meet him, I pass him 500 baht to pay bar.

From the point of view of Jupiter boss, he is losing 600 baht (drink price in December) every time a customer goes to bar and only pay off fee for boy. If many customers did that, he would lose money. Not entirely wrong of him to recoup 1/3 of the money. Something similar happened at Freshboys. A popular boy who performs in the show contacted mamasan to say he had a customer off him for the night through Line. He told mamasan that he would go to bar and pay 500 baht off fee then he would meet customer. Boss said no. Boss insisted that customer come to the bar, buy a drink and off boy. The boy was furious and quit. Currently working at Dreamboys and happy there. Subsequently, the boss of Freshboys dropped insistence on customer going to bar to buy drink before offing boys. Now boys just have to pay 500 baht to bar per night if they don't report to work. No questions asked.

I would have paid the 200 and tip mamasan 100. If I need a guy for the night, a few hundred baht would not stop me.

Apps look like best way to get around price increases from the bars.

Walking in Bangkok's shopping malls.

Same for me. I like the non-gay touristy activities I can do in Bangkok in the day time.

Did mamasan say that the 200 baht is a fee charged by the bar? Or is it a tip to the mamasan?

I would not consider Voco Hotel cheap. Room is small. But the buffet breakfast is delightful. I had booked it because Tawana Hotel was where I offed my guy back in 2016 when I first met him. This stay at renovated and rebranded Voco Hotel is a wonderful way to celebrate 10th anniversary.

I like the shower head at Voco Hotel. There are three different modes of shower. First time I've come across such a shower head. Fun to play with. Hehehe.

After massage at Prime, we walked to Silom Complex to have Singapore chicken rice. This was followed by hanging out at pool table bar below Freshboys for 2 hours. My guy played pool with his friends while I watched them as well as the people walking past Soi Patpong 2. By 9pm, my guy's friends had left the pool table bar. They had to report for work at their bars - Freshboys, Dream Boy, Good Boy. I believe the only bar that permits their guys to report for work as late as 10pm is Jupiter. My guy and I went to Foodland and played chess for the next 3 hours. At midnight, we met some friends for supper at Happy Beer Garden after they finished work. One guy was drunk because he had been drinking with customer earlier on. Luckily, his friend was able to take him back to his room. My guy and I said goodbye to our friends. We went back to Voco Hotel where we spent an unforgettable night together. After breakfast, I checked out of hotel. My guy pulled my luggage for me until we reached Silom Road and I went to take BTS and airport train. End of my weekend trip. Also last chance to be with my guy before he goes back to Vietnam for half a year at least. Happiest but also saddest trip for me.

I had the good fortune to meet you @kram987 and I enjoyed your company and your dry wit. I am glad that you enjoyed being at the pool table bar. That's one of my favourite places. All the best and hope to bump into you again in the future!

The runner led us past the dark windows and door and up two storeys where two young male staff were waiting to wash our feet. Then we were led to a room where there were 3 mattresses on the floor and there were pajamas ready for us to change into. We lay on 2 mattresses after we had changed and the massage began. One hour later and my guy said that there was the best massage he ever had. He asked me how much it cost. He was flabbergasted that it only cost 300 baht! He said they worked so hard. He nodded approvingly at me when I tipped each of them 500 baht on our way out after the customary hot tea.

It would be 5pm soon and off we went to Prime for Thai massage. We were led to a different building on soi 6 away from the main building. There were no signage to indicate it was part of Prime.

We woke up mid afternoon and spent the time in bed chatting. We reminisced the happy memories we had the past 10 years. We looked at photos of tattoos. My guy has a colourful and intricate tattoo of fish swimming against the river on his back. I had a wild thought of getting a tattoo to commemorate our time together.

My guy asked to go back to sleep after breakfast. I lowered the blinds and switched off all lights for him then I went off to Big C for some shopping. Two hours later, I was back in Silom. I walked to Prime to make a booking for my guy and me in the afternoon. Then I went back to hotel and rejoined my guy in bed.

After my guy and I woke up and had morning sex, we headed downstairs for breakfast. Good spread of food - Asian, Western, Japanese. And good quality as well. My guy especially enjoyed the wide selection of fresh fruits. We spent two hours at breakfast, savouring nearly everything available and we played chess at the same time. Not many hotel guests. I counted fewer than 20 other guests during the two hours we were there. Staff could have shown more hospitality. At Le Meridien, where I once stayed exclusively for 2 years, the staff would approach guests to ask if they need more coffee. Here at Voco, after delivering my first cup of coffee, they left me alone. They also didn't try to get to know the guests and chit chat.

If you want to experience karaoke in Bangkok, let me know and I will arrange for you! 🥰🥰🥰

I was puzzled because I don't know of any Vietnamese guy working at Hot Male.

I remember there was an Italian song and the Myanmar guys tried to sing along! Fun night. One of best nights for me personally.
