I did wonder why BBB suddenly were so aggressive on social media and the caliber of boys (and their clothing) seemed to have improved. Is it possible to just walk in and catch the show (is there even a show now?) or will I be endlessly harassed to call someone down and buy them drinks?

While Patpong bars are not known for creative naming surely they could have found something better than “White Cat” and paying tribute to girlie bars. But I find the mascot of a testosterone jacked pussy more disturbing than the name.

I can’t remember from my only stay years ago, do you get a view of IconSiam or any thing nice?

I have too. And this is why Jupiter’s boss is notorious for being greedy and money grubbing. If it was a standard rule a boy can’t be offed from the door, sure, but to have the rules change like the weather is poor customer service.

Brutal but accurate 🤣 is Fake Club still as good now as it was before Covid? I think during and just after Covid it became a quieter live music venue for a time. Watching the videos now the guys don’t seem as good looking as before. I also noticed one of their stars is back but looking older. He used to be very hot with a perfect body and bad boy appeal.

Which would you consider the best one?

If you search Oasis Ent Club on any of the social media platforms you will find it. TikTok has more videos. Here are the videos with Jupiter guys. I’m sure you will recognise them. I’ve never actually seen guys go shirtless like this in any other host bars, they’re usually all dressed up. I can understand why they try their luck, it does seem alot more fun for the boys than a regular Patpong bar with mediocre entertainment and mostly foreigners. v14044g50000d4pmnffog65ijc2ot1jg.mp4 v1c044g50000d538qvnog65qkoke6um0.mp4 v1c044g50000d50qajvog65k8rcb0id0.mp4 v14044g50000d5l497fog65ut65l37og.mp4

I posted in another thread about a new host club called Oasis. Around 5 Jupiter & ex Jupiter boys went to work there. Last week I saw in the videos they were back on stage at Jupiter. Unsure if they couldn’t make money there. Some boys can’t appeal to the host club audience, as there is a specific look. But others just can’t stomach the endless drinking. I was also told that boys often start the night at Jupiter or the other bars, and if they don’t get takers, they move over to the host bars which only get busy around 11 or midnight. Oasis made the Jupiter boys take off their shirts to show off their abs, I wonder if it was because regular host bar boys don’t have as good physiques as those who have to parade in underwear nightly If I can find the video again I will post it.

Thanks, fascinating explanation I enjoyed reading it. Don’t want to derail @jason1975’s trip report further but instead of naming trivia I’m curious about all those ghost stories from Suvarnabhumi….

Thanks for insight, I never looked this one up before but Bavana sounds a lot more suggestive than Tawana! Best example of this is Suvarnabhumi

Now I am wondering about the meaning of Bavana which in my head is an abbreviation of Brave Banana

You are correct. “Tawan” like Tawan bar and Soi Than Tawan means “the sun” or even that new bar Sol exact name in Thai is ตวันนา Tawan-na and there is a double “n” in the Thai alphabet ”na” can mean face or next, but in this case the translation is literally “sunny” ChatGPT had this to contribute: “In Thai, ตวันนา is not commonly used in everyday conversation. It has a literary and elegant tone, often chosen for: Hotel names Building or place names Brands meant to convey warmth, brightness, or prestige So Tawana Hotel essentially conveyed the idea of: “A place of sunshine / warmth / radiance” This kind of naming was especially popular for upscale hotels in Bangkok from the 1970s–1990s.” Could be possible the other bars like “Moonlight” “Jupiter” all took their planetary names from the original Soi Thantawan

Received mine too. So are we meeting at this orgy in @Keithambrose’s suite?

Have a look out the window of Meridien lounge when you are next there. It overlooks the Voco pool. I believe best view is from the lounge toilet….

They deliver it to your room at Capella!

That’s offensive how did they did know my cock size on an anonymous forum Is there surveillance going on? Hidden cameras during login??

You likely saw the Navaratri festival which the temple is famous for. Many aspects of Thai Buddhism are closer to Hinduism than orthodox Buddhism. An interesting twist is that Ganesha in Thailand is specifically associated with praying for $$$ and lottery luck. In orthodox Hinduism he is known as the remover of obstacles, while there is a prosperity element, it pertains to smooth starts to new businesses, the repayment of debts, receiving a promotion at work etc. Only the Thais blissfully show up with sugarcane and pineapples asking for magic lottery numbers.

I deliberately try to stay away from those cat-tastrophic nightmare zones

Same. How did I get profiled on an anonymous forum?! 😄

Misread topic as “Delicious cat” Was thinking as I clicked in that I’ve seen alot of unusual things being eaten in Thai markets but never cat

No comment on Olddaddy’s walking speed but I found it easily walkable to Patpong. The hotel is connected to the mall, the mall is connected by a bridge to the BTS, and you’re at Soi 4 already. Just a short hop to anywhere else you might want to be.

Decent but looks better in the photos. Nothing to write home about. Gym is quite good. The pool at new Dusit Thani is something else.

Thank you for review was curious when I passed by previously.

Agree. Unless breakfast is included in my stay, I never buy hotel breakfast as I prefer Foodland, or Grab delivery.

I meant under Bonvoy loyalty program 🙃 there was a time you couldn’t book a Bonvoy Bangkok hotel under 4-5000 baht. Some of the recently added properties now have opened up a possibilities for a cheaper stay while still clocking loyalty points or “mattress runs”
