This falls right around the time I'll be in Bangkok. I'd love to check it out. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any details yet, such as the light show times, which locations will be illuminated, the fireworks, or the best viewing spots. If anyone knows more, please post!

I'd say: it's not Bangkok OR Pattaya, but do Bangkok AND Pattaya. I think that's the perfect combination. Generally, Bangkok has more guys of my type (a bit more muscular, not too skinny) on offer. And there's more to do in Bangkok during the day in terms of interesting places to visit (repeatedly). But I find Pattaya a nice change from metropolitan Bangkok for a few days of just relaxing on the beach. For me, a 66/33 split is ideal. One week in Bangkok, one week in Pattaya, and then another week in Bangkok. That's exactly what I'm planning to do in late November/early December.

I didn't know that Telephone Bar had moved to the soi where Moonlight is. I thought the bar just stopped when Circus moved in. And according to the guys in the video below, the rumor is that Moonlight's soi is going to be the new hotspot where several gay bars will move to. Maybe when soi4 is sold? Later in the video, they mention that the "new" bar Dragon & Koi also has a "something spice" show. That's new to me too. I thought it was just a bar, without a show. Something else to check out when I'm in Bangkok! Watching the video and seeing them walking through Patpong makes me want to go there again myself! Six more weeks till my return to Thailand... Can't wait!

I stayed in Ibis Styles Silom a few times. Never had any problems bringing guests back to my room. By the way, are there any hotels in Bangkok that make problem from taking guest to your room? Don't aacthally think so... Lol As many modern hotels, you need a key card to use the elevator. So you will need to bring your boys from the bar or get them from the lobby downstairs if you get a internet / app hook up.

Can;t wait for reports about this place.

Getting smiles at Jupiter? Wow. That is newsworthy indeed! I like the type of guys who work at Jupiter. But indeed, due to the lack of interest they show and the lack of attention they give, it's never been one of my favorite bars. I'd rather have a somewhat good-looking guy who actually puts in some effort to get your attention than an A-list hunk who comes across as arrogant.

Looks very interesting! Can't wait for first report about this new place.

Did somebody try out this place? With it's shop being "far away" in east Pattaya, maybe it's possible to let one of their boys come to Jomtien to your hotel? Don't know if they do "outcall"?

Apparently they found a way to verify your age because on X I can watch adult content again. Via the X app, but when I try via the website it doesn't always work.

In an attempt to shift the topic of this post from smelly Indians to sexy Russians, I tried using the "location option" on Grindr to find (gay for pay) Russian hunks in Pattaya. I've tried a few times, but so far, unfortunately, without success. If I'm back in Pattaya in November, a Russian guy would be a welcome change from all the Asian beauties.

A while ago, I came across a video of this sauna. I didn't realize there was already a post about it, so I put it in a new one. See below to see that post and watch the video. Has anyone actually visited this sauna in the meantime? What was it like? Today I discovered that the sauna owner also owns a gay hostel on the same street. See the post below:

I came across this video: This new (?) gay hostel in Bangkok seems te be next door to 1/0 sauna (see linked posts below) and of the same owner. A hostel isn't my preferred type of accommodation. I like privacy and a bit of luxury. I see a hostel more as a budget option for backpackers. Young people. And I haven't considered myself young for a while now, and I dare say that applies to 99% of the forum members here. But the video does make me curious. After all, they also have private rooms besides the dorms. But what I'm especially curious about is the green/red slider on the room doors. You can use it to indicate that you don't want to be disturbed/are sleeping (red) or that others are allowed in because you're up for "fun" (green). And on a mirror in the building, you can leave messages and see which rooms are looking for or offering what... "room 304: greedy bottom." A very cruisy hostel... The private rooms are small and basic, but they look new and clean. And where can you find a private room in the heart of Silom for around 25 euros a night? Someone who wants to give it a go? Looking forward to trip reports. The hostel can be booked on Trip.com: https://www.trip.com/hotels/bangkok-hotel-detail-48646212/togayther-hostel-bangkok/ And... Free 1/0 Sauna Admission for All Togayther Hostel Guests! (not sure if that will be for a long time, they advertise this now as a summer promo)

Soi 4 is still for sale on that site. I'd expect the land in this prime location to quickly sell to a developer who could build yet another modern shopping mall (as if there weren't enough of those in Bangkok...). But it's been on the market for four months... I don't know anything about realistic prices in Bangkok, but perhaps the asking price is a bit high, which is why it hasn't sold yet? Let's hope the soi remains the gay hotspot it is for a while longer. I still miss Soi Twilight when I'm in Bangkok, so what if Soi 4 disappears too?

In 2023 I had a wonderful stay at https://baantyewang.top/ I love traveling at a leisurely pace. A one-day trip to Ayutthaya is certainly doable, but especially if you're in Thailand for a longer period, why not relax and spend one night there? And one night without the bartenders and massage therapists should be doable, right? Haha This guesthouse is modern, with friendly staff. It has a beautiful garden. You can arrange a tuk-tuk through the guesthouse to take you to all the temples. It's an ideal combination of culture and sightseeing, but also a place to relax and get away from the big city of Bangkok for a night or two.

I like to type of guys at both "History of Massages"and "Klover". But their website / twitter doesn't mention any details suggesting there is "more" possible than just a massage... Not T, B, Straight or Gay remarks at the boys for example. How do we know if the boys are willing to do some "hanky panky"?

I always go for the "in between option". After a long flight I like to be in my hotel as quick as possible in a convenient way. Official metered taxi always works out fine for me. Years ago, there could be long waiting lines at the taxi stand. But in the last few years, I've always been able to get in a taxi right away. Cheaper than limo-service, quicker and more easy than train.

Well... sounds like my type of guy also. If you would like to share who it is, where he works... would appreciate. Can imagine you might not want to share details publicly on forum, so you can always sent me DM also.

Furthermore, I'm very curious about the X accounts of your favorite naughty Thai boys (or massage shops, saunas). Have you ever managed to meet up with one of those boys through X?

As a European, I fell victim to X hastily blocking all adult content for users who haven't proven they're 18+. I'm generally in favor of certain content being inaccessible to children, but if you implement an 18+ block, you obviously have to ensure someone can verify their age so you can access all the content. And X decided to implement the block, but not give you any way to verify your age. How stupid. They say they're "working" on implementing age verification. Until then? No porn or nude images via X. For the first few days, this could be avoided by changing your location in the settings to a country outside Europe or the UK. I set it to Thailand. And yes, I could watch everything again. Unfortunately, that didn't last long. Then this option was also blocked by X. Only by using a (free) VPN can I currently watch 18+ content on X. Anyway; Now that I can watch X-rated content again, I came across this hottie: He's promoting a new (?) gay social app. Has anyone heard of this before, or perhaps already uses it (in Thailand)?

You're going to be so mad with me AGAIN... First last year when we met in Bangkok and you found out I've never been to Moonlight. And now because I never been to Sunee Plaza ever... And I've been in Pattaya many times. But... I always thought the boys in Sunee are not my (read: our...) taste of boys? Too thin, too feminine. Tell me if I'm wrong.

I'm feeling old thinking about the first years I came to Thailand (2012 was my first time) and I paid 2000 to the best looking barboys to take him home for short time, and 1500 was considered good rate for meeting up with freelancer via the apps in Bangkok... Inflation hits hard, also in Thailand. Of course, I realize that everyone is different and has different preferences. But personally, I'm never a fan of long-term. The biggest reason for this is that I love my privacy. I enjoy having company around me. Going out to dinner together, having a drink at a bar. And of course, intimacy in the bedroom. But I really prefer to sleep alone. Without anyone by my side. Another reason for me is that I'm overly aware that with a money boy, it's a business transaction. I enjoy having a money boy for company for an evening, but for a whole night, let alone a weekend or a week; no. Then I too often start to think he's only here for the money and isn't really interested in me at all. Or, as Olddaddy poetically put it: And because I feel that way, I'm not interested in becoming too friendly. Somehow, after sex, I quickly get tired of a guy. Precisely because I sense there's no connection on a friendship or emotional level. I'd rather split my money among different money guys for different nights than rent one guy for a longer period. I can certainly relate. But I guess that so-called boyfriend experience just isn't my cup of tea. Or maybe I just haven't met the right guy yet. And do they even exist? Those who can truly give you the feeling of a connection that goes beyond financial ones, all night long, including the morning, and maybe even the entire weekend? As I write this, I realize the part I find most exciting is the boyhunting: going to a bar and seeing if there's a guy you like. Making contact, taking him to your hotel. And then seeing how he is. Does he kiss well? How hot is he? What things can we do together? Is there some kind of connection? The discovery part, as Vinapu describes it. That can indeed sometimes lead to disappointment. Although I have to say, I've made more good discoveries in all these years than bad ones. But that might be because I've always been very critical of bars or apps. These days, I have two regulars who I alternate with new discoveries. This way, I'm guaranteed quality with the ones I already know, but I can also make plenty of new discoveries during the vacation. A perfect combination. But even the regulars are only there for short-term dates. No overnights or longer.

Not entirely in line with the original question in this thread, but: I've been using Line to connect with local guys when I'm in Thailand, but I haven't used the option to get updates from massage places yet. Can someone explain what I need to do to get those updates? Is there a list of massage places that send updates via Line that I can subscribe to?

Sounds very good! Can;t wait to check out Atlas and the boys there with my own eyes (and hands... and....).
