You are right. I saw the announcement on some FB pages and stupidly forgot about it. However we actually had the same conversation some days back, that bars were too quiet to bother to go to work so it wasn’t just about Saturday.

Not sure if there’s anyone who can report back. Was chatting on Line with one guy yesterday. Despite it being Saturday he and his friends (all bar boys) were heading to Bang Saen for fishing and dinner. Wasn’t a customer sponsored outing. I asked why they weren’t at work. He said bars were so quiet now it wasn’t worth their while to go. I read a Pattaya travel forum where inevitably there’s alot of chat about the girl bars and punters are saying the same, very quiet and receiving long distance begging messages from the working girls. Seems to be worse than the usual low season malaise.

But why, it’s more enjoyable to leave you in suspense?

Your original post hasn’t hit 24 hours yet and both posts were made 4 hours apart, hardly a day ago I know Australia’s timezone is ahead of the rest of the world but didn’t know there was a time warp there too…! Perhaps the club you mean was BEEF?

Really fantastic report @jamiebee thank you for taking us along on your adventures. Do we have to wait another year for the next one?

I agree but still not very clear on the exact circumstances that led to this choice. Sure customer isn’t attractive but realistically how many are? Possibly too customer approached it in emotional rather than professional language leading to boy getting upset as well

LOL exactly my thoughts. I was hit by FOMO after hearing that and wondered if I should quickly grab the boy myself but I am not in Bangkok at the moment. I’m not entirely sure if I misunderstood the motorcycle bit but certainly the customer is wealthy and has been keeping him very very well compensated. That said, if you’re kept f*cking daily for something like 3 weeks non stop, a day off might be nice!

Yes indeed it is not my intention to generalise but sadly I have enough real life examples in hand (some quite literally!) to be certain this is not just my imagination. I definitely agree there are others who pleasantly surprise by being hardworking in bed and out of. Yet for every one of these I can name another who is alcohol or drug addled, video game addicted, lost all his savings to gambling or just too deeply in the easy street lifestyle to give it up. I don’t mean to sound doom and gloom, it is what it is.

Wasn’t exactly referring to laziness in bed but rather laziness in life. They find it hard returning to a normal job which requires hours of work for the same compensation of having their cock grabbed, even when they are well aware of they have aged out of the game . Which is why you see fat ageing bar boys working the same stage year after year. And I don’t mean being practical and going where the money is good. Some of them just want an easy life of working 3 hours, drinking the rest of the night; and sleeping until 6 pm.

I believe the customer was paying him extremely well for a boyfriend experience. He was spending most of his time at the customer’s condo, at least 2 weeks but it could have been 2 months for all I know. So yes it was daily sex for days on end. Met the boy once briefly and he strikes me as a top. I was told the customer was Asian, not old, but “big a bit” Last update I had was that the customer was trying to lure him back with promises of a motorcycle.

Talking of bar boy gossip. My regular boy is usually very circumspect….in general he’s not the chattiest individual. However he volunteered today that his room mate (who has been away, staying with a customer) is back in the room because the customer demanded sex daily until boy was exhausted and couldn’t keep up!! Apparently unkind words were exchanged when the sex quota was not fulfilled, boy got exasperated and stormed off home.

Problem with this is that it encourages laziness and after some time, the expectation of easy money just dropping into their laps

You should be able to do a quick run over to Thailand and get vaccinated there, otherwise Royal Phnom Penh Hospital is managed by the Bangkok Hospital Group and uses the same vaccination protocols Contrary to other forum members, I had a flu shot a few months ago and have still managed to pick up all kinds of viruses due to high exposure in my work. However I do feel the severity was lessened.

Possibly the boys can already sense if no off is impending eg empty bar, disinterested customers, so they will take whatever is on offer

What useful information could they possibly obtain from this forum? 🤔

Perhaps we are now being monitored by a communist spy network

All very valid but no point overthinking at this stage. Having holidays with your family sounds good and sensible, as it would be a pity to drift from them despite new life and new love. It could be that you enjoy farang-friendly Siem Reap and don’t mind spending time there solo continuing your Khmer language studies, with Cam coming over for weekends. You were independent before Cam and can continue to be even while being ensconced in a relationship with him. Spending some time getting to know Cambodia on your own and forming your own circle of expat or retiree friends would help greatly in settling there long term, this could be the perfect opportunity.

Check @jamiebee’s ongoing travel report

Boy drink is usually 300-400 baht so 100 baht commission sounds about right.

Thank you for your service to the forum in reviewing a very lacklustre sounding Big Boys @jamiebee

Now that you mention it, he is certainly @vinapu’s type!

On rare occasions I’ve seen customers more attractive than the boys on stage Another time I went to Moonlight with my Asian male friend who was mid 40s but in the dark bar, could pass for 10-15 years younger and has a number of bar boy accessories (muscles, tattoos). As he was walking to the men’s room he was solicited by a customer who mistook him for a Moonlight hunk.

I think someone mentioned to me that they are no longer land mine victims just normal amputees (farming or cat accident) but carrying on the “advertising”. Regardless they still need donations from good hearted tourists such as yourself

Agree but it was the Wild West then. Worse than rocks, little naked children could also be picked off the ground by pedophiles as quite often you saw them sitting by the roadside completely alone. Edit: this was slightly before that disgusting pervert Gary Glitter was caught and deported. He then went on to settle in Vietnam.

For sure this is a must do. But I will never visit Tuol Sleng or the Killing Fields again. The memory from decades ago is still fresh, as is the recollection of seeing land mine amputees or those blinded begging outside Angkor Wat. You no longer see them, they are dead or too old to beg and have been tidied away for more pleasant tourism. My regular Cambodian guy is again too young to remember them, despite having grown up just outside Siem Reap, nor has he ever visited Tuol Sleng although living in Phnom Penh. On a more cheerful note this was also a time you could pick up bits of the Angkor temples lying on the ground and bring back a nice carving in your pocket. Very illegal of course and not enforced in the slightest.
