Just got back to hotel at around 5pm to take some rest. Tried to take a nap but couldnt haha. Still undecided whether id visit any of the bar, though tawan is really the first one id visit if i manage to summon enough courage. Today, walked out from hotel to 7e near bts salaedang to buy simcard. Having no thai language knowledge whatsoever, i asked the cashier to do everything for me haha. Took her 15-20min to register. Got the tourist sim pay as u go for 49 with 90mb data. And bought a 99bath topup for another 750mb. Good enough for 2-3 days use. Then took the bts to shapan thaksin, have breafast somewhere outside the station and took the express boat orange flag, 14bath per trip. Went all the way to nothanburi (last pier) and change boat to go back and took off at grand palace. A lot of mourners in all black attires still camping outside the palace with the navy giving out free food/drinks and deserts. Didnt go in the palace, and went straight to wat pho, did tour the temple by myself, definitely must go, and very distinctly different than temples in malaysia, more vibrant in colors and not just gold. And of course i tried the famous wat pho massage center inside the temple, took the foot massage for half an hour, and boy, it was awesome. Ive had foot massage many times and it has always been too painful for me although i can stand the pain, it wasnt enjoyable. But the wat pho massage was strong, on point, and surprisingly enjoyable albeit minor pain that i actually like. I did asked for a male masseur, got quite old masseur that is very skillful in massage. Not sure if the younger one will be as good. After wat pho, went to wat arun and back to sathorn central pier to take bts to chong nongsi and to arena Arrived at arena around 2.30pm, easy to find and the place is actually clean but basic. Went in and i am shocked with the many boys they have there lol. Dont see any other customer inside. I did asked their fb page about some of the masseurs and they suggested a guy that fitted my description, so when im there, i dont have to awkwardly choose the boys like shopping for souvenir in the market. But when i went in, the mamasan immedeately call all the boys to stand and the experience were quite unreal haha. Imagine 20+ mostly muscular, most shirtless trying to gain you attention by showing their muscle, waving hand, smiling. I immediately told mamasan i have someone already suggested by their boss. I admittedly blushed a bit out of shyness and being perplexed with the whole experience. Anyway, i proceeded with 90min oil massage with one very muscular, quite short (circa 1.6m?) tan, very rugged and manly look. If the boss didnt suggest him, i wouldve not pick him as he is wearing singlet when i enter and actually just sitting in the couch close to the counter where i sit. Anyway, he brings me upstair to the room, and i took my shower, and he excuse himself and comeback with towels and other stuff, then he take a shower. When he stripped down, he covers his groin area (expected this from all reading all the reports) but boy his body is really muscular, especially the pecs, almost boob like haha. After shower, he proceeded with massaging my legs. The massage was actually quite good, but ive just had wat pho sifu massage, so the effect is considerably less impactful. But he is quite thorough with a mixed of pinpoint pressure and long strokes all the way to the glutes. Then he massage my back, arms and hands, all done just right, 30-40 in, he asked me to turn around. And the front massage started, with legs and arms my pecs and he started teasing my nipples a bit. Thats my queue to play haha. I started playing with his penis and noticed the beads like the one i read in some reports here lol. Not a major turn off for me, but i could do without those. He is still massaging my front, arms legs while playing with my nipple and then penis, but no rush to make me cum at all. He then kiss my nipple and give me hj, and switch with massage from time to time. Then asked if im a bottom or top. I said top and he said me too, i said its ok since im not really looking for anal sex anyway. So he just proceed with the hj and then take my hand to play with his pecks. I then pull him on the massage bed to lay beside me. No mouth to mouth kissing though, which im fine with, but he did kiss my body, nipple, neck that give me shivers haha. Ok too much details. I eventually came, and looked at the clock and still have around half an hour to go, he went to the shower to clean himself quickly and i thought, could this be another short massage session, 60min even though i paid for 90mins. And i was wrong. After shower, he proceeded with massaging my legs, arms, and necks the pecks and playfully play with my nipple again until its time. I then proceed to shower and he come in the shower with me, cleaning me the whole time, first without soap then with soap. Aftetwards, he stays in the shower to clean himself as i dressed. All in all, one of the best session ive had. Paid the tips and went to pay the massage, since im first timer, mamasan remind me to pay the masseur a bit more, which i dont mind at all. Total dmg 2200bath and worth every bath:) During massage, i did get in a few chat with the masseur. Apparently he had only worked in arena for 5 month, but already worked as masseur for 15 years. He does look 30ish, which could explains the massive muscles lol. He said he used to work at hero and told me hero massage is opening soon next month, and he might go back working there. He also told me some of the boy in arena he dont like because they just play and drink, he didnt mentioned names though. To be continued

Lol. I prefer the comfy bed and sleeping over exploring past midnight on a day where i worked all day and took a night flight to bkk. I only packed my bag after work, for a 13 days trip. Too tired to care haha

Finally touch down and checked in hotel in bangkok. Landed around 10pm local time. Check in hotel at 12 am. Dont think ill go out tonight. But my hotel room is awesome lol got second highest floor (21) room next to elevator with a balcony to view lumphini park. Now i regret not bringing my binocular haha. The bathroom is big, with glass windows next to the bath tub, and a separate shower. the room itself is not that big but the bathroom is awesome. Private balcony is definitely a bonus though i dont smoke. And i only pay a bit more than 100usd per day

Never been to PP but lived in ho chi minh for 1 year, never really explore the dating/massage scene though, mostly coz the boy there is not to my liking, but the gay scene there is quite happening and i could imagine the living standards is also higher in ho chi minh. again, havent been to PP but i dont mind staying there for a long period of time

Trafficked sex slaves is illegal, thus i doubt they will be made available to the general public. And since bangkok or thailand in general already made sex trading legal, the illegal ones have to provide what the legal establishment couldnt provide. Maybe those of questionable age, virgins, children. Or maybe they served as sex slave for the riches, mafia, gang or something. Or maybe through the dark web. Ok ive watched too much CSI haha. But i think there are some truth to my opinion above.

At massage place, if u want the boy to go to your hotel, u need to pay the outcall fee.

Too bad im not going to be in bkk during weekend, maybe next visit. I guess another reason for my second visit now lol Got to agree that everyone experience will greatly vary. When it involve human, nothing is set in stone. Any review about a masseur i read in KL from other board, i normally went ahead and go try for myself first. Coz you only hear story from one side of the coin, so anything good or bad u hear are just hearsay with no proof. Needless to say, the physical/appearance, cleanliness of the place are what i looked for. Also massage skills, but then again, different people like different kind of massage, but rubbing half a bottle of oil with just 1 motion up and down is not a massage at all lol. The extra part are always uncertain. Your masseur migh have a bad day, or had tonnes of customer before, or the reviewer might be rude, or dirty etc, so extra might not be up to what u need. On the other hand, if the masseur is attracted to u coz u are hot, then of course ur extra will be very special lol. But it is always fun to read others experience, enough to motivate me to try it myself and who doesnt love a steamy story.

I wanted to go there mostly for maeklong train market, but since i read amphawa is close, why not. Maeklong should open daily right? If not, ill just spend that day on bkk

Thanks for all the replies. As this will be my first time. Ill just go with the flow like i always do. My biggest regret during any trip has always been if i missed anything i actually want to visit, thus i always make my travel flexible and go wirh the flow. i do plenty of research though, but dont restrict myself with a tight schedule. Keep more tips coming guys, since i live very close to thailand, this might very well be the beginning of my bkk addiction lol

Hi all, I have just found out about this forum merely 2 days ago. I will be visiting bkk on transit (4 day 3 night) before my trip to japan in approximately 2 weeks from now. Arriving at bkk around 10.10pm and leaving at 2.50pm, so i only have 2 full days to enjoy bkk. Since im not into cities and shopping, my plan is to go ayutthaya on day 2 and maeklong/amphawa markets on day 3. Now abit about myself. Im really into good massage. Been a regular massage goer back in my country (malaysia). I patronized both regular straight massage parlors that have male masseur and gay massage parlors. In KL, if i want really good massage, my best bet is the straight parlor. If i want the HE, gay parlour but with tips of course. I am excited to read here that u can actually have both in bkk from some of the massage parlour in bkk. I am also into muscular guy, not into twink or lean fit. So i guess thats already limit my choices of massage parlor to maybe 3-4. Arena would be my first choice, then maybe v club, prince. As for proper massage most likely on day 3 or if i have time for day 4 before my flight (2.50pm), dr bear massage or prime. Now moving on to sauna, not really a fan of sauna, maybe i lack confidence. Been to 1 time back home, maybe just 10 mins of fun watching a guy getting a bj, and 3 hours of nothing really put me off lol. Went to another sauna in HK and not much diff exp. but i dont want to miss not visiting one in bkk, and looks like r3 and babylon is the place to go. Gogobar would be a totally new experience for me. I dont drink, so i dont even frequent a normal bar. But tawan and jupiter muscle boy makes me want to just go and see whats the hype. Not looking for anal, so i guess my choices are wider than most lol. But going to gogobar for the first time is really nerve wrecking for me. But surely it cant be worse than going in sauna in my towel for the first time right? One small question, do i need to buy alcoholic drink in the bars? Any minimum order? Or just tipping the gogoboy is fine? Appreciate any tips for first timer to bkk. Dont think i get to do all of the above in my visit, so ill just want to have enough fun to get me to come back and do the rest of them haha. From what i gather, minimum tips for massage is printed on their menu/websites. Tips for gogobar seems to be around 2k not sure for how long. Overnight seems to be 3k. Off fee 500-700? Since im not looking for anal, do u think the tips is diff? I dont mind paying more if im satisfied but need to have some ballpark. Thinking of booking a guide from siamroads for 1 or 2 days. Anyone have any recommendations? And what can the guide do and dont do? Looking forward to replies!

Just joined forum to say thanks for all the nice reports. Enjoyed reading them. Will be going to bkk in 2 weeks time. Cant wait.
