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....).

We have such good taste!

Apparently that post was about this place: Indeed a newer sauna, but not close to the Jomtien complex itself unfortunately. Photos of the sauna are on google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bC947yHr2JNHzey4A?g_st=am

Did see this in a Facebook group, but it didn't get reactions yet whether or not there is a new gay sauna in Jomtien... Maybe somebody on this forum has more information? Or it's simply not true...

Off course there are many massage shops in Bangkok, and many threads on this forum are about them with so much reviews, pics taken from line from their staff, etc. BUT: because of the high amount of posts about it, it is a bit hard to get track of it. That's why I have this question: I like my boys not to be too thin. I like a bit of muscles on the body, maybe even a 6pack. Also, I like to inspect goods before buying. I would never buy a couch online without having tried how it sits in a store. So I would be looking for massage place old style: where they have staff on site and maybe even do a line-up for you to choose your boy. A manager who can listen to what you are looking for and do good recommendations about which boy to book, instead of a mamasan who claims "all boys do everything". I do not trust picking your guy from pictures en pre-book him, as many have said photoshop is often used or they post old pictures. How embarrassing would it be when arriving at massage shop and your pre-booked guy does not live up to your expectations based on his pictures? Did this ever happend to you and how did you deal with this? About the massage place: I like it to be clean, not too old. Good (and again: clean) shower in the room. Maybe even a bath for some pre- or after-massage wet fun with the boy? Yeah; I might be looking for a bit of a luxurious place instead of a shabby massage room on the 6th floor of and old building. Also preferable in of near silom area, not having to take BTS or MTR to completely other side of Bangkok. Am I asking too much? Because all of my doubts and wishes in all the years visiting Bangkok I rarely went to massage place but always took my guys from the host bars. But, maybe there is a hidden massage gem in Bangkok that would suit all me wishes, or at least some of them? LOL

Would love to see you again in Thailand when I'm there (last wo weeks November / first week december).

Can't wait to check out Atlas on my November trip. And probably will also have a look at the new Tawan, just to know how it is now. That's how I like it. I like to get some attention from the boys without them being pushy. It's also how I remember it from the (very) old Tawan during my first visits in 2012 / 2013. A nice muscleboy would approach you, start a little conversation. But when you would tell him not interested it would be fine and het would leave quietly. If you would have interest and buy him drink, the conversation would continue with the boy probably subtle telling you about what he could offer you. But never in a pushy way. Totally agree. I mentioned it before in one of my trip reports. The best experiences I had with moneyboys were with the boys that were slightly older and had more experience in the job. I found them to be more friendly, knowing what is expected from them in return of the money, showing initiative and making you have a good time. While the younger boys more often seem te be a bit lazy in bed, you have to take initiative as customer to get something going or ask him to do things and they think they can earn money by being boring instead of being a bit active and try to do their best to make you have a good time. Same kind of positive experience I had with the only guy I ever offed in Tawan. He was a bit olde than I would normally go for, a bit bulkier also (he had muscles but also a little belly...). But he really was doing good job in making sure I liked the time spent with him. He started a massage that quickly turned into "other things". But when that finished he continued the massage instead of the "it's over - give me my money - I'm gone"-mentality the younger guys sometime have. Is that the older guy that was always taking time to talk to the customers in the old Tawan, explaining about possibilities of the bar and boys but also doing some friendly smalltalk? He was really nice and friendly. But didn't see him anymore after Tawan became The One.

Looking forward to read your trip reports and get inspiration for my Thailand trip late November.

Thanks. I did do a search on this forum to see if there were already posts about this place but couldn't find anything. Somehow I never seem to find stuff at this forum using the search function. What am I doing wrong? Anyway, also in the other post I didn't see any forum member reporting first hand about this place. Nobody been there yet?

I see this new sauna right in Silom area being advertised on YouTube. Any thoughts about it? Somebody already visited? Their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/10saunabkk The name 1/0 is inspired by slang that Chinese gay communities use. 1 generally refers to the active role in male same-sex relationships, while 0 means passive and receptive. 0.5 can be understood as versatile. The sauna is run by a guy originally from China and there are a lot of Chinese tourists in Silom area. That's why they choose that name. Video looks good. Mordern, (still) clean and big (play) areas. Reviews from any forum members are more the welcomed.

I was looking to book The Rabbit Resort because some forum members recommended it and it looks very good. Located directly at the gay beach, walking distance from Jomtien complex and the resort set up is nice. The pictures really look like you're staying inside a tropical garden. But I found out the good old Agate is around 1/3rd from the price of Rabbit Resort, so I decided to stick to my old habit and book Agate again. If the price difference would have been smaller, I probably would have booked Rabbit to try something new this time. But I'm Dutch and we are known for being "cheap Charlies". LOL Agate's own website did not show any availability during November. But by sending an e-mail directly to the hotel I could still make a reservation. Same experience. They reply quick and are very clear in their answers.

In my opinion: Jomtien is twink heaven. All the bars have twinks. There's not much variety in boys-types there. As I prefer a more toned body, I like hunks more. So in Pattaya I normally get more lucky in and around Boyztown. But need to be said: when looking good, one can find a rare hunk in Jomtien also. By the way it took me some time when I started on this forum to understand what everybody meant when talking about twinks and hunks. Till I found this little but very accurate explanation: A “hunk” is an older slang word that describes a handsome, well-built man. A “twink” typically refers to an attractive, young, slender gay man.

So you teased us for days... and conclusion: Max was not working on any of the days you were in Pattaya... Unsatisfyingly in more than one way. LOL

Where can i join the queue for Summer....? He looks hot inderdaad, and is "flexible gay" so I assume he can bottom.

Always nice to read about your adventures, even if this was not your best trip to Thailand. Because this was not your best trip, you might have to come back even before 2028 to make better memories! Cant wait to read about this part of your trip, as Max became a star on this forum fast some time ago.

So your assignment for today is to try to bring a boy into your room... And to report back about this in this forum.

Planning a trip to Bangkok and Pattaya again in November. Stayed a few times in Agate hotel. Good quality rooms and bed, location can't be better and always got a good price directly via the hotel website. Also important: never a problem taking "a friend" to your room. They can even walk in on their own coming to your room without you having to get him from downstairs. But this time I might to choose to stay somewhere else. As I would like to have a bit more relaxing time at a pool. I know Agata has two pools, but somehow these pools don't really are inviting for me to spent some hours relaxing. I did see nice rooms for very good price in Welcome World Beachfront Resort. This one: https://maps.app.goo.gl/K7gWMJY2vf3QWyAr7 Did anybody by any chance stay here before? Would you recommend it? Any idea about bringing boys back to your room here? Other hotel suggestions are welcome also.

I took me some time to understand the "not for fun" part. In my country it means you're not looking for sex, only for friends or chat. While the Thai boys actually mean "not for free" when they write "not for fun"...
