If I have a particular shirt or jacket of an exceptionally good fit, I usually bring it with me and ask for it to be copied but in a different fabric. The results have been very nice!

Hoping you are having a good time at Tawan as I type this!

I remember the song too, it really was everywhere. The Jupiter singers do it better than the original, in my opinion LOL.

Very random but I wonder if Thai boys have weak stomachs in general? My guy’s stomach usually acts up around 30 minutes after a meal, regular as a clock. At first I felt guilty as I thought it was the non Thai food he was eating with me but he had the same reaction after a Thai meal too. I usually travel with a pack of antacid and he now immediately helps himself to a couple of tablets each time he comes to my room.

Thank you to everyone who responded, especially DivineMadman for the clear description of Red Cross. Your posts were extremely helpful and exactly the advice I was hoping to receive. I will chat with him and see which clinic he prefers. Yes I will say that I plan to be tested (which is true) and invite him to do the same. And that Pulse commercial left me speechless! If I didn’t know that slapstick commercials were the norm in Thailand, I would be terrified of this place!

I thought the same initially but was on a long boring plane ride and persisted, and it ended up hooking me in. Quite a few flaws but decent for a self published series, I ended up reading all three books. One anecdote however has been directly lifted from Private Dancer! Thumbs up for Bangkok People by John Eckardt, a collection of character profiles originally written as magazine articles. Made a start on Jasmine Nights which I thought would be right up my street, but DNF though the author writes well. Read The Quiet American a decade ago, time for a revisit. Twilight Soi by William Stapleton was thoroughly rubbished on the Bangkokbois blog at the time of its release as a ridiculous and paranoid flight of fancy, riddled with errors. Will post link to review if I can find it again. Working my way through the other recommendations now.

One other question- is it true Red Cross will do anonymous testing?

Thank you for the recommendations. Good to hear from someone who’s been to the Red Cross facility. Is it generally a good environment with well trained staff? I can imagine my guy will be nervous and wouldn’t want him to get distressed. I think I’d be nervous too! I’m willing to pay for Pulse if you think this might be a better option and less stressful? Yes he’s a money boy though less active in the past year, as he recently picked up a day job. But I would like to get him started on PrEP too.

This sounds like a good idea, but which clinic provides this service of the test results to each other unopened?

This might be a little sensitive. I would like to take my regular boy for STD/HIV tests in Bangkok on my next visit. While we do use protection and he has also assured me he is “clean”, we have reached a level of familiarity where it is just too easy to slip up. He was pretty upset the first time I felt it was necessary to broach the subject and offered to get tested (said in a fit of pique rather than a real offer). But I think I might offend him greatly and cause him to lose “face” if I insist on having him tested, and also being present for the test and result. Has anyone had a similar experience? What is the most tactful way to proceed? I also would like to have him tested regularly if I keep seeing him, which hopefully will keep him vigilant about using condoms with other customers. Also, where in Bangkok should I bring him for same day test and results?

Great update! I really like how Fluke does his hair at Fake. Suits him better than the slicked back ponytail he had at Moonlight. How exactly does the model system work? I have always been there with boys so I have never been up close with any of the Fake models, apart from those who may know the boys with us and come up to say hello. Do the models go table to table introducing themselves? Are you expected to tip them? Around a month ago my friend invited Babe, Tam and one other muscular Moonlight model to Fake. The boys thought it would be funny to have their shirts off like the house models. They were drinking, dancing, flexing biceps and having a great time. However at some point they noticed they had distracted all the customers in the vicinity who were openly ogling them non stop and starting to crowd around the table, while the real Fake models were getting upset. So they quickly put their shirts on and kept a low profile thereafter LOL.

Alizizou, one of the quirks of this new board is that photos can be seen even by non-registered members / people casually browsing or searching from Google. Maybe for boy’s privacy and your own you may wish to not post your own personal pics until this is changed?

Have a safe trip home spoon, looking forward to the next instalment of your report. Thanks for writing it up.

I believe that is why Babe and Tam declined to work at Fake. The Fake models are expected to drink heavily to encourage customers to keep opening bottles. Babe in particular cannot hold his drink.

Not Q then, my mistake. The numbers were 20, 24 and 44. And 16. But I have no idea who they are since I never remember numbers. I wish Moonlight FB would profile the regular boys more. Dare I say it, the constant repetition of the models is getting boring. Especially since the newer ones aren’t as attractive with the exception of Atom, and perhaps Smarch.

Fake Club is great fun. The video Jasper posted must have been taken very early in the evening. It starts to get busy around midnight and by 1 am is a full on a dance club, busy even on Sundays. The models parade in the wackiest outfits and circulate among the tables to drink. However it is not good to meet or pick up people, far too noisy. I would not recommend going alone unlike DJ Station. I am surprised the models can’t be offed, there must be a way to “engage” their services. Fluke must enjoy playing dress up at Fake!

My Chinese is limited but I do occasionally check on the Chinese forum. There were several posts and one travel report raving about a two cute twinks at Moonlight, I imagine Q is one of them. I can’t remember his number. Most likely Q is taking advantage of his new popularity in this lucrative market. Moonlight’s loss! The Chinese customers seem to be quite young and prone to falling in love with the boys, which means heavy tips and gifts. One of the twinks received a Tiffany necklace as a farewell present from a besotted customer! There was a lot of excitement about Nicky several months ago. Not sure if he’s still as popular these days.

I just had a look at the FB page, lots and lots of hunks! I could not see the other ex Moonlight model, who was it? Around the time you posted about your friend seeing Fluke and Tam at Fake Club, apparently they were both offered jobs there. And of course Babe is much in demand.

Sorry to say, it appears Fluke has left Moonlight to work in Fake Club. Some boys do work multiple venues, hopefully he will return.

Here’s an interesting update. Boy - realising motorcycle is unlikely to materialise - is back with a new request...hair transplants. I actually laughed out loud when I heard this.

Drim - do you follow the Moonlight FB page? They’ve been posting new videos nearly every day, most with Nicky. Thank you for the entertaining and erotic reports!

I missed your question about how to ask a boy back to your room. Honestly just call them over for a drink, enlist the mamasan’s help if needed. And say “You come with me? No sex. I want see your muscle”. And flex your bicep for good measure. They will get it. Edit: the muscle boys are terribly vain. They LOVE showing off. If you are nice, smiling and friendly, likely they will be more than happy to agree.

Hello Mark. An “off fee” is basically a bar fine - a small fee to the bar when you engage a boy. Negotiations for time together, tip (the fee paid to the boy) and the exact services you expect from him, are conducted directly with the boy himself. If your only requirement is muscle worship, it would be good to state this upfront as some boys turn down engagements if they assume sex is involved. For Moonlight models, the off fee is 1000 to the bar. They do have real bodybuilders - one the new models Atom competes and wins in regional WFF events. His most recent win was in November. Tae is a gym trainer to other muscle boys and bodybuilders. Some of the regular non-model boys are also muscular and their off fee is 500. My understanding is Atom is working at the bar to fund his bodybuilding competitions and may appreciate the interest/business. He is quite new so it would be good to be very specific you are not asking him for sex. For even bigger specimens, Tawan is your best bet. This bar is strictly for muscle and had the largest boys. I am not familiar with Tawan but maybe some of the other members can offer some suggestions, For meeting non-bar bodybuilders, you may be best going to Jupiter to look for #73 (thanks for the reminder Jasper!) Mekhin Aryuwattanamongkol. He was a very successful competitive bodybuilder and still has a stunning physique - you may be interested to check him out first even before the Moonlight boys. If you are lucky enough to off him, he will be great for posing, muscle worship etc. Additionally, he is very friendly and speaks decent English so you can ask him how to connect with real bodybuilders and who can be engaged for a room session. He has been in the business long enough that he will clock what you mean. Even if you are unable to off him, you can ask to have a chat with him in Jupiter. Just explain to any mamasan that you have a question for Mekhin. Attached for your viewing pleasure, the Moonlight models flexing. Atom is the one with the nice smile, front kneeling.

He’s trying to shelve the issue for the moment, let’s see if boy takes the hint or becomes more persistent. I have to say this boy provides one of the best boyfriend experiences I’ve ever seen - I can understand why my friend is conflicted.

This sounds very interesting and the sort of thing I like reading- bar culture is a fascinating world of its own. Not sure I would pay 80 EUR just to find out though!
