Its logical to see a country with circa 1billion pops have considerable amount of their citizens able to afford a thing or two.

That explains indian specific themes girl bar at walking street. Yup not much spending from indian tourist in gay bars. Although when i visit there last year, there is 2 married indian couple having fun in boys music bar where BBB moves to after midnight. I guess once this group discover the cheaper jomtien or even sunee bars area, they might start to flood this area and makes these places returns to its glory, or maybe it is just my wishful thinking. Although one might question the method of tracki g the tourist spending done by the gov. It is very hard and unlikely to track cash spending in bars and as off fee paid directly to boys. So the 5k from chinese might not even includes their spending on gay bars lol. One way to track spending is of course from the usage of credit cards, where both amount and country are clearly in the records. That means the 10k/5k spending are mostly in hotels and shoppings.

Vinapu effort to fish out the size of the boy's cock Vinapu is successful lol

My dear friend recently hired babe, and in his word, it is one of the thing u had to do otherwise you will keep thinking whether u will regret not doing. It is an experience, mix of fear of missing out, and the fact that you will regret most the things you didnt get to do rather than things that u do. When asked if its worth the money, i guess that is something everyone has to figure out themselves.

And most local probably get free healthcare in thailand as well in government hospital. I once chatted with a boy who come to work in KL and he said he got his prep meds for free but of course he has to do the standard prep testing every 3 month, which is also free for him. In malaysia, for government hospital, its free for government staff, but dirt cheap for citizens (rm1 for outpatient visit with medication for example). My late uncle who were treated for months for cancer got the final bill of RM500 inclusive of ICU, countless amount of blood transfusion. Even then, because he did not survive, the family dont even need to pay the rm500. For visitor, its definitely diff. Still cheaper at government hospital but i dont really know how cheap. But we have continuos medical tourists coming here for treatment from indonesia, so at least it is cheaper than that country. And yes, i believe, 2k baht for emergency room visit with 2 bags of IV drip is cheap.

While i think they are a better way to "educate" or critisize OP especially newbie who didnt know what he posted have unintended consequences, which is by using PM, instead of posting it in public and keep going at it without the poster having responded. If it happens quickly, OP might even have time to modify his post. And if it is against the rule, maybe moderator can edit/remove part of the post as well.
-
All i hope what poster had said, which from what i see is all praises for the boy, will benefit the boy. I believe that is what OP intended.
-
Yup, that is him alright. I wonder if he used to work in bar when he is younger
-
I actually think eventhough he is embarressed, he looks gay and probably didnt take offense. In fact he probably felt flattered because u expressed interest at him, with money too lol. He is sitting in a gay soi of patpong red light district so i dont think you went overboard even if its just misunderstanding. I also have a confession to make. The banana grabber, is actually the grabber featured in my christmas/new year visit, who i thought is the bandana man that had been mentioned few times by forumer here lol. Yes, he looks good for his age, will fit right in tawan for all i care.
-
Worth to mention that he told me he didnt work long in jupiter before he got sponsored and off the scene for 2.5 years. Hence he said he didnt have many regulars yet even after working back for 2month of so. But other than our advise to him to smile more on stage, i doubt he will have any issue to get customers as well as maintaining them to become regular with his good work ethic. My worry is he might be taken off the scene again before my next visit lol

Line group is definitely for chatting rather and what one say can easily get lost after a while. So unless you are on your phone most of the time, chances are you will miss lots of stuff. You can always mute just the group from notification during night time. And can always remove profile pic and real name if you want to join the group, just to see if it can benefit you, and leave the group if it doesnt fit your way. Yes you can have multiple line id, there are few workaround (app replicator for example) My main concern is the rules. Usually big line group have lots of rules that must be followed and there will be moderator who will ensure rules will be followed. If there isnt any, it wont be long before some member in the group will start bickering about what is allowed and what is not etc.
-
I just hope it wont deter any of us here to go to arena. Like i said, we go there for the boys, not the mamasan. Both times i go there, both boys i picked delivers beyond my expectation. And it is totally up to us to tip mamasan or not. I didnt had the opportunity to experience old hero, so cant say if his behaviour changed or not.
-
Im pretty sure its a combination of he already went up there before and knows it can get chilly up there, as well as him having slight cold, and not having much if any fat layers to insulate his body or simply want to look his best. I am living in always hot climates as well lol

Day 5 - And the fun continues part 3 This should be the last part of Day 5. So after dinner, we all make our way to Soi 4. As it is still early, we sat at telephone pub alley side seating, which is facing the street, where the musics isnt so loud outside so we can hold conversation while watching people, tourists and boys alike coming into the alley and leaving. But A is sitting next to me so I cant recalled much of people watching happening that night. We continue chatting about weather, travel, and world economy and while we 3 talked, Z and A were also having their conversation as well. From time to time, I also talked to Z, asking about his life and so on. I told him that his english is really good, and asked if he actually went to University and he told me he has a degree from a myanmar university, as well as thanking me for asking. As we are getting ready to head to the bar, I saw Vinapu leaving a tip to a guy next to us, and saw the perplexed face of the guy, who clearly shocked and embarrassed, as Vinapu thought he is MB, but his expression suggested otherwise. I am always amazed that western gay/guys are so direct, something we asian will never do. And when i think about this, i can totally understand the existence of mamasan in gogobars. Id rather asked sensitive questions about a guy to mamasan rather than directly asking a guy who i really like. For western guys, i guess mamasan is rather nuisance especially when they arent telling the truth. Anyway, back to the topic. All 5 of us enter the bar and being ushered to the seats to the right of stage, second row from the vip seats. Definitely not a bad seat except for the speaker right behind us, which somehow that night was not as annoying as when i was there alone. A greeted the mamasan and some of his friends. Z immediately asked vinapu to seat in the front stools instead so they have better view and vinapu relented. It is Z night tonight hehe. And Z definitely liven up to his reputation as told to me by Vinapu. He enjoys the shows, the boys and arent shy from showing how excited he is lol. He told me one or two guys that he really likes from the line up. A being obedient, sitting next to me, and from time to time talked to his friends who sits on the next table with 2 asian girls who is opening a bottle with probably 3-4 guys sitting with them, one of which is A "brother/best friend". At one point, Z told me one particular guy shouldnt be on the stage, but later on we both discover why he deserved to be there during the big cock show lol. Vinapu regular Oud came to sit with him when he noticed vinapu sitting near the stage. As i later found out, Vinapu didnt off him this trip, but did off him on his subsequent trip a month later. He also noticed me who off him two days ago hehe. I also noticed the gay dancer i took last night is not around, and the shows this night isnt as good as during the weekend, with reduced number of dancers. And as expected, no hint of #37 as well. I asked mamasan about #37 and he said when i came back next time, he will let me know if #37 is around, so the hunt continues. At some point, Z was so excited that he accidently hit a beer bottle and spilled on the table and floor lol A best friend is apparently offed by the 2 asian girl, which Z also told me very beautiful girls and i agree. At some point, Jimbillp left us to catch his flight. We all stayed until shows finished, which is almost midnight, but when we were about to leave, outside was raining heavily. So we decided to stay for a while, and enjoy the karaoke session next. Two singers, a man and a women take the stage and sings a mixed of english, thai and chinese songs, mostly very recent songs too at least for the english songs. Great voice and entertaining but without the boys on stage, the high volume of the music started to annoy me lol. At some point, we decided to brave the light rain and Vinapu generously lend A his folded umbrella since as most boys do, needs to protect his hair from rain hehe. Anyway, we walked passed banana bar and grabber there told us show is on going, so we decided to give it a look, and yup, the sex show is on going. Not my type of boy, and not my type of shows id enjoy but we did stay for a bit after that ends to see the small selection of boys they have, at least one id off if i only go to this bar and nowhere else. After that we both says our goodbye, and thank each other for what would be the best night out for me at least. Me and A made our way back with A stays dry thanks to Vinapu's umbrella, which kept his happy mood for the night hehe. It was a long day/night for both of us, so I told A that we will have light fun and cuddle and then go to sleep, and left the heavy duty stuff in the morning lol. But staying in Raya with the transparent shower which can be viewed from the sofa is a great advantage indeed. When A took his shower, I keep staring at him and of course he noticed me, and started to do his own version of shower show for me. It turns out A is a bit sick actually, but he brought with him some panadol, which explains why he wears the sweatshirt or maybe not, but thankfully not too sick for us to still have fun. I really admire his work ethic. He stays with me until breakfast, which we took a bit late, around 10am or so. Im definitely going to miss him, and as i write this, and went through the pics, i definitely miss him now.

Day 5 - And the fun continues part 2 Again, this part of the trip has been reported by Vinapu on his detail report (link). It was very detail that he had to split it to two part, and as it turns out so did I. All 4 of us scan our ticket at the entry and being ushered to the lift. On the journey up, we were served with the feast of the 5 sensory with videos and music filled the whole 6 sides of walls, floor and ceiling, akin to virtual reality of having transported in a transparent lift which I find a very nice touch. We all then brought to the observatory floor, which is a floor with glass walls to have a very comfortable airconditioned area to view bangkok skyline. Vinapu mentioned that we must see the toilet at this level on our way back. This level also have the smaller version of gift shops and cafes. Having a Mahanakhon veteran with us, we made our way straight to the rooftop observation deck, using the stairs, which is also the emergency stairs which can be seen spiralling all the way down. At the rooftop, we all take a while to absorb the feeling of being at the top of a really high building. A very nice selection of musics were played, and there are plenty of people around, but not as crowded as I'd expect. There is a stair-seating in the middle facing one side of the building where people can just seat and lounge and chat but of course thats not what all of us wanted to do. We immediately go towards the glass floor extension deck and watched all the poses people made taking pictures. We need to cover our shoes with the shoes cover before going down and not allowed to bring camera with us, so we take turns to go down. A and me go first to give Z time to summon his courage. Im not a fan of taking pictures of myself or others as i usually only take pictures of buildings, objects or scenery, but both A and Z seems to really enjoy the place very much, which also makes me happy hehe. Not long after, Vinapu manage to find jimbillp and he offers to take pictures with all 4 of us. We spent a bit more time there before me and Vinapu and Jim move to the other sides of the building and started to try and figure out all the places that we can recognized from above. Meanwhile A and Z, both from Myanmar, continue their photoshoot complete with slo-mo, videos, walking scene and even some workout videos lol. I actually told vinapu if only he does that without his shirt, and not long after, he actually lifted his sweatshirt to reveal his washboard abs while doing sit up on the glass. At some point I see Jimbillp were talking with A, and Vinapu also talking with A, and i cant blamed them, A is such a pleasant guy to be with and he knows how to behave amongst us. Z personality really shines as he is very outgoing, talkative, funny and joyful to say the least. And to be honest, i can definitely see him as being my friend as i really like to just chat and talk with him. Anyway, A finally join me and vinapu and we start talking about some of the interesting buidling further away from the city center and surprisingly, A recognized almost all of them. It turns out he told me he had been there before with his "brother" aka, really good friend. I cant help but amazed still at his memory though. Close to 7pm, I reminded all that i need to go to Arena and pickup the first masseur i took before, thinking that he might go with me for tonight as long time. So we made our way down after spending 2 hours there, not to forget to check out the toilet on our way down, this time by elevator, and it was impressive to see the toilet wall are also made of transparent glass lol. The exit pathway after the elevator going down is a 4 stories gift shopping malls, with a maze like one way walkway down to ensure all visitor had a chance to see all the duty free stuff they sell there. Since i am going to Arena, we decided to just had dinner there in silom plaza as well. I made my way up to arena, and when i open the door, the rude mamasan was there, i asked him if i can see the masseur, which coincedently had similar name with him, and he said the guy has gone home. I have his line btw, and my messages was read but no reply. I hope he is not in trouble because the rude mamasan scold me again and telling me everything i want need to go through him and say if i want massage, i can take other boy. I was speechless really, and just told him its ok, i only want to see that masseur and if he is not around ill leave. Anyway, I went down and join the rest at one of the restaurant at ground floor, and they had just set up the table for the 5 of us. We each order a dish or two and share it with the rest eating family style. I told vinapu what just happened and just hope the boy is alright. Anyway, that also means i dont have any boy with me tonight. After we finished dinner, we discussed a bit about where should we go, and tonight is Z turns to tell us where he wanted to go. He asked us to suggest bars with handsome man and best show, which to me and vinapu, it wouldve been moonlight, but we just went there yesterday, so Jupiter is the next best option. So Jupiter it is. But it is still to early to hit the bar. And A is still with us. I did told jimbillp if he wanted to take A ST, but he says its ok, he probably will next trip as he is about to leave tonight hehe. Vinapu even offered to pay A off fee if he wanted to join us bar visiting tonight, but A seems reluctant as he couldve made more money at the bar getting customer. I just lost a candidate for LT from arena, but A told me earlier he couldnt do LT tonight, so i just reiterate again to A i wouldve taken him again tonight if he does LT. He thinks for a bit and then agrees to LT. So done and deal, A will be with me again tonight, and it is yet a first for me in thailand, to go with the same guy two nights in a row lol. I also asked A if he is ok going to Jupiter since he just left the bar for moonlight but he says he is ok. Another long post so i guess there will be part 3 now.....

Day 5 - And the fun continues part 1 After A left, I continue my ritual of after breakfast nap. One of this trip mission is to check out the ICONSiam Mega shopping complex. Its already opened during my last trip but given that trip was during peak of the peak season and the mall had just opened, I decided to avoid the hassle. So I decided to have lunch at ICONSiam today. I do have a 2.30pm booking with my favorite masseur in Arena so I cant spend too long there, so I just order a grab bike from Raya to Iconsiam and was there is about 15min, minus 70thb including tip. Like many have echoed admiration of their food court, I too agree that their food level, almost all the ground floor are definitely a place to be if you are looking to buy mulitude of varieties of Thai street food, at very reasonable price (most items are in single pax portion at 50thb) and eat in a very comfortable airconditioned space. There are even what we called in malay "pangkin" which is a low raised platforms where u can eat comfortably without chair. Bought myself 3 items as shown in the pic (roti with coconut, mango sitcky rice and a milkshake), good enough to fill my belly until dinner time. There are a lot more street food choices available but that has to be saved for another trip as i cant be too full right before my massage lol. Since im going to Arena next, and i still have time to kill, i decided to go there by the free boat to saphan thaksin. On previous trip, during peak season, the boat stops at a different pier, making it less convenient for me to go by boat so im glad that changes was temporary. Not much queue and managed to catch the first boat that came, and the trip is quite short as well. Took the BTS to Chong Nongsi and walked to Arena, arriving few minutes before my appointment. Enter and saw that mamasan Art is not around and mamasan Somsak is in charge instead. Nevertheless, he knows about my booking and my masseur came to bring me up the stairs. Like our previous session, he chose a bigger room with 2 massage table inside with shower as well. He put together the two table so we have extra room to move around hehe. Told him to shower with me and he said he will join later. Before i hit shower, I called A and told him i want him to join me for my mahanakhon visit, and he said ok he will go there at 5.30pm. Minutes later, my masseur joined me in the shower, he is as gorgoeus as i can remember him, muscular perfect body, smooth skin with very light hair on his chest and legs. His manliness still dominant despite his humble and polite nature. Not much words from him, but i did asked about his absent during the weekend which due to his father being sick and him going back every weekend now to tend to his sick father. His massage is very sensual, with lots of body contact, and he moves to the b2b part seamlessly. I am in 7th heaven and when it comes to the fun part, he asked if i want sex, and of course i cant resist this guy lol. And i probably catched him when he is horny, since he fucked me until he cummed, and thats two times in a row this trip that arena masseur completed his deed with me and its still early evening. Or maybe this is the benefit of low season. We both hit the shower and this time he helped clean me up and let me finished showering before he cleaned himself up. Arena masseurs always delivers, at least true for my case. If anything, i'll always come for this particular guy, though i do wish we can actually talk more. I gave him a very deserving tips in the room, we both head down, and before exit, i asked for the masseur i had on last visit. He came to me and i gave him another tip, telling him to wait for me at around 7pm where i plan to take him off. i also gave my fav masseur another parting tip. This is when the mamasan come to me and told/scold me he waited for me long time. i checked the watch and its 4pm, which means we didnt really went over time. He either think my session was only 60min, which is weird since i paid for 90min, or he really mad for us maybe exceed few mins of the time (since i did arrive few mins early) or he promised the next guy who also booked my masseur, an earlier time to avoid them leaving. Either way, I dont think its my fault if we went over time, my masseur didnt let me know about it, nor told me we dont have enough time in the room. But i dont want to make a fuss and probably brings trouble to the masseur too so i just ignore this rude mamasan. Later i found out from vinapu that this mamasan used to work at the old Hero massage. Anyway, I go there for the masseur, and not the mamasan, so i guess it didnt matter. I still have about 1hour 30min before my meeting with Vinapu at mahanakhon. So i went to the National Gem and Jewelry Museum nearby and it is open today. The place is not big, but they do have some of the rare gems and some are actually replica of the real thing. I did still spent my time there until its close to 5.15pm. Few interesting things did happened inside though. The counter guy is actually a degree student and turns out we both study the same course in the university. Of course he is still young and looked gay too. We did chat a lot on the subject of gems and rocks and stuff and he basically gave me a private tour of the musuem, and gave me some highlights of the items the hold. He also told be what else the institute have, which is on different floor. U can actually get a gem/jewelry authenticated and appraised here, as well as polished and cut as well. There is also a research lab and also a library. It is definitely worth a visit especially with the free entrance with the museum pass. I walked towards mahanakhon next and arrived near the entrance and didnt see anyone around yet. Not long after, Vinapu shows up alone. I called A and he said he is on his way. Vinapu and I proceed to the entrance to buy each of our distinguished guest a ticket. We then went back outside to wait for them. A shows up first, with a long sleeve thin wool/sweater like shirt and jeans, very trendy outfit indeed. Not long after, Z also shows up, apparently after meeting his "friend" who is leaving bangkok today, to say his goodbyes. We both proceed to enter the tower. Vinapu also said to me one other forum member jimbillp will meet us at the top of the tower. To be continued...
-
It is still one of the more memorable night of my trip as well, my first night offing two boys lol. If anything, only my last night tops this night.
-
I tried to just say what we all thought would happened at that point of time, where neither of us know Z went to sauna mania nor he went back late to the hotel. Of course if one had read your reports, they will know what had happened that night after we left.

Day 4 - The most awaited meeting part 2 From this point onwards, both Vinapu and ggobkk had written their reports which can be read by clicking the respecting link (Vinapu, Ggobkk). When i arrived, i immediately saw ggobkk sitting on the couch in the lobby chatting with another farang, which can only be vinapu. Ggobkk waved at me and i walked towards them, and we started to catch up. Vinapu asked me about my leg, and it was getting better each day, good enough that ggobkk even asked me whats wrong with my leg since he didnt noticed it. We decided to hit Madrid tavern for dinner and agreed to visit Moonlight for tonight entertainment. On my mind, I already off the dancer from Jupiter which i need to pick up when the show there finished which should be around midnight and Vinapu also have a boy Z who he dragged from pattaya waiting for him at the hotel tonight as well. So all the worry about me and him having similar type and might fight over boys are gone for the night, and we should be able to enjoy the show and boys all the same. Not that Im saying we might fight but its nice to know there is no reason to. Ggobkk update us during dinner on the new "twilight" bars location mentioning some bars were open and closed pretty quickly, maybe due to change management or a better spot opened up. Vinapu also updated about his visits the few days he was in bangkok before which was reported in detail in his report. We agreed on visiting moonlight and went there after dinner and ggobkk brought us towards the small alley, where the ex-hotmale grabber Bandana man work and Vinapu pointed out to me the many doors along the way where the "Short time" room is located. And as any of u could figured out, we met bandana guy, and he escorted all 3 of us towards moonlight. We paid up the entrance fee and ushered in. It was almost empty as we were there quite early, around 9pm. The mamasan recognized me from before and showed us the seat at the second row from the stage, with our back is the walkway, and actually one guy already seated in the middle of the table. Mamasan asked the guy politely if he could move one seat to the right so he can fit all 3 of us to that table, but the guy refused, so we 3 had to squeeze a bit at the edge of the table. Later we found out the guy had a friend as well, who is probably wearing size 5XL shirt, so i can totally understand why he refused to move as they will be squeezed as well on the other side near the pole. Impressive selection of floor boys. As mentioned before by Vinapu, we quickly noticed A, muscular guy with smaller frame body, which is the ideal type for both of us. While Vinapu thinks he looks better than the model, I can only agree body-wise he is much better than all of the models. But face wise, I can name few models who looks better. But we both agree he can easily qualify to be amongst the moonlight model if he wanted to. And Jasper also agreed on Vinapu report as well lol. Without much hesitation, i called A to offer him a drink after asking mamasan if he would do long time or not, and mamasan said yes and told me the tip as well. Meanwhile ggobkk also called a twink boy who interest him and he then move the the side with the boys and A sit at the now empty seat next to me. At this point, in my mind, i was thanking the guy who refused to move as our squeezed seating at the edge of the table works to my advantage as A now has to seat really close to me and he dont mind. I believe ggobkk left even before the show starts with his boy, who at some point returns to the bar before me and vinapu left the bar. I also didnt waste time and decided to off A as well, so he went back to change to street cloth and stay with me for the show. Show wise, this time around i noticed few new routines, which is as always, well choreographed, and Babe again steals the MVP awards for the umpteenth times. One particular part of the show me and Vinapu really enjoyed, enough to distribute the wealth was the number where all the models dance in walkway, which is just behind us, giving us unprecedented VIP access to all of their bodies. Cant help my self to give the two models closest to me, and by luck, also the two that i am very keen of, Nut and Boss red notes. And both of them show their appreciation both with attitude and physically pull my hand all over their body why they dance lol. I dont know if A knew about this upcoming number or not, but before the number begins, he excused himself (toilet or what, i cant recall) which is a service as it allows me easy access to two models without him in between. One thing to note though, before this number, there is one part of the show where all the model lined up and mamasan comes to the audience and try to persuade us to buy garland of 1k baht to be distributed amongst all the model, and not sure if it was planned or not, but all the models that night, got at least one, with several gots 2-3 garland, all but one. Babe. At the end of this, some of the models along with audience laugh when babe make a cute sad face. Im not sure if i should feel sad or not as i was really tempted to get one garland for him just because lol. Around 11.45pm, Mamasan from Jupiter texted me saying my boy has finished with the show and now waiting for me. I suddenly realized I have two boys today lol. When did this happened lol. It mustve been some of Vinapu mojo had rubbed off on me lol. Now i need to tell A that he cant go with me now, and ill have to come to pick him up later, which i said to him around 1am. He asked me where i want to go, and me being naive just told him i actually had another boy for ST from another bar, and will come back for him after. He understand and tells me he will go eat or something and will wait at the bar for me. I rushed to Jupiter and saw my boy already at the outside seating waiting for me in street cloth, so we dont waste any time and went straight to my hotel room. Back in hotel, I had one of the most passionate encounter with a guy this trip. He is gay, and very very well endowed, perfect body for a muscular twink, and handsome face. If only he does LT, he wouldve been a perfect guy for me. Now i understand why girls go crazy for him and some even cry when he refuse to be offed by them. After the deeds, we stay cuddle and talk a bit, he speaks perfect english, and told me some of his story before, which gain more respect from me. Anyway, he excused himself at 1am, saying he needs to go to bar to receive his payment for the month, and he did lots of shows. As i have another boy waiting, its actually works out great. We cleaned ourselves and i sent him away to his bar and make my way to moonlight. I picked up A, and asked him if he already eat, he said yes, so without delaying, we go back to hotel. As i had just had fun minutes ago, we take it slow. We first sit at the sofa and chat, another guy with great english, and he told me about his sponsor before, and not long, i asked if we can start with cuddling on the bed and continue chatting while our hands starts to get busy. One thing led to another and all i can say is his muscle is a feast to the eye, especially when we were face to face. We had another round in the morning, complete with showering together, and i love the feel of his tight muscular body under running water. I wish i can stay like this forever but one can only wish. Anyway, we end the session with breakfast together at the hotel. He asked me my plan for today, and i told him i plan to go to massage and then to mahanakhon tower. I asked him his plan, he said he wanted to go gym after sleeping hehe. But he also told me if i want him to accompany me to mahanakhon, just call or text him. We went back to my room where i gave him his most deserving tips, taxi money requested, gladly given for a goodbye hug.

Yes. I dont think they specify farang or not but there is higher entrance fee for those above 50. Instead of 360, its a whopping 2000 baht. I did notice one farang that looks above 50 who came in right before the o party start, and he is still in good shape though, coupled with blonde/grey hair, stick out from miles away.
