Same for Ganymede. Their line seems to be just for chatting, they are not promoting staff. Sorry for alle the messages. Just having a research day for my upcoming trip.... LOL

Would you say these shops are S or H places? TCS has some hot staff on their line account but doesn't mention "T" of "B" details about their "therapists". Sanctuary SMS doesn't have any information or pics of their staff on line. Probably more information and details about staff can be asked by chatting with them?

Was deodorant the only thing that was not allowed? Other liquids were oke? I was looking into a side trip to Laos next month when visiting Bangkok. Wanted to take that train also, but online read mixed messages about what is allowed on that train and whats not. Don't want all toiletries confiscated while still having to travel for more than a week.

Thank a lot. Scrolling through their staff pics right now. So many hot boys! LOL That's a shame. Found at least one very hot and sexy staff member there... Wow. But I think I'll stick to massage shops for now where it's clear which guys are "T" or "B," "straight" or "gay." That way I have a better idea of what to expect, and being the control freak that I am, that's better for me. lol k

I think he was already there when I first visited Bangkok in 2012...

I actually think the guy in the video lit up because he's working there to get everything ready for the opening, and the bar isn't open. I don't expect it to be normal to smoke in the bar. I hope not. Because as a non-smoker, I find it really disgusting and will be standing outside again soon if it does. Hopefully, they'll be able to open the bar on the planned date of February 1st... Who'll be the first from our forum to take a look? I hope the bar does hire muscular guys. But preferably a little younger and fresher than the average Tawan guy.

For research purposes I was trying to find more information about this, especially to find pics of their staff. But for V Club 7 (what I can find that's the "official" name for the massage shop being part of VCK) I can only find old information on the VCK Cool Space website. No pics, no line link. Does anybody had a line account from them? Or where to find more information? And very convenient location, very close to the heart of Silom. Looks very upscale, and so are their rates. The boys do look hot. See their line, QR code below. I wonder how big chances are you can get "extra service" here. What strikes me is that the standard price for massages at the residences is much higher than at, for example, FaFa Massage, but the minimum tip is much lower (500 baht at the residences vs. 100 baht af FaFa according to https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/2025/02/12/onnut-is-not-that-fafa-on-the-bts-sukhumvit-line) . Does that say anything about what to expect? So, at the residences, it's more about the quality of the massage and not extra service, while at FaFa you can definitely expect extra service because the minimum tip is higher? I love it when a massage shop advertises its staff this way. Like FaFa Massage is doing. With rainbow flags on the profiles of those who are "gay." And by adding the letters "T" or "B," you know you can expect extra service. Because that's what often puts me off trying a massage shop. I like to know beforehand that extra service is available, and I also want to be sure I choose a masseur who suits my needs. So, I know whether the masseuse is "T" or "B." And now I finally understand why I've never been able to add an account online. Until now, I've only been able to do it with a QR code, but now that I know I have to add the @, I can do it manually too.

Found it! https://line.me/R/ti/p/@607nbjty?ts=07141528&oat_content=url

Can you share that line? I can only find the back-up account mentioned in this post, and that one does not have updates / pictures of their staff.

They didn't charge me anything extra.

BOOKED... Thailand first three weeks of March.... Anybody around these weeks?

Anybody knows if Atlas finally re-opened at the new location?

I think the Raya offers good value for money. Although I've noticed before that the rooms are sometimes considerably more expensive than comparable hotels in the area, and sometimes lower. So, as always, compare current prices between hotels. I found the beds too hard. I slept very poorly the first night. The next morning I asked reception for an extra mattress topper, which they arranged for me in no time, and then the hard-bed issue was solved. I was very disappointed with breakfast. But if, as mentioned in this thread, it's only an extra $3 per night, it's worth considering. I personally don't like Asian breakfasts, so I always opt for the Western options. And those were limited. I remember that the breakfast buffet closed quite early, though I don't remember the exact time.

As my holiday plans with a friend for March are canceled, I might be tempted to book a visit to Bangkok in March instead...

I think I understand your post a little better now. Because at first I thought this can't be right. There are much more guys who would like to go with men in Jupiter. But not as a bottom. Then you'll have the exact same experience I had in December: I asked Papasan which guys were gay and wanted to be a bottom, and he pointed out four or five with his laser pointer. I agree, it's not a huge selection. But... it only takes one guy who's your type to have a really great night! And I actually like having a more limited selection to avoid decision stress. haha

I'm so jealous that you're back in Bangkok... I would have loved to be back at Le Meridien right now. Haha

Everything is going well with me. And indeed, I haven't written a trip report about the last week of my Thailand trip: the second week in Bangkok. When I'm traveling, I usually write my trip report when I'm in my hotel room or when I'm eating alone. But during the last week, several other forum members were in Bangkok, so there were few moments when I was alone and had time to write. And once I got home, I lost the sense of urgency to write anything. Plus, work got very busy right after I got home. My apologies. In the meantime, other forum members have already described in their trip reports what I could have written. Because we went to certain bars together. Their trip reports are below... It's for you detectives to find out for which parts of their reports I was with them. LOL A few minor comments I'd like to make about my last week in Bangkok: My stay at the Raya Hotel was great. I remember a forum member writing that the beds were a bit hard. I completely agree with that. I slept poorly the first night because of it. However, after I inquired about it, the reception quickly took action and put an extra mattress topper on my mattress, which solved the hardness issue. In my first week in Bangkok, I didn't get a WhatsApp response from a guy I'd met a few times in Bangkok. See his photo above. But luckily, I did get a response this time. He's currently in a "situationship" (whatever that means...), which means he doesn't actually do escort work anymore. But he was willing to make an exception. Of course, for a much higher price than I'd normally paid for him before, but hey... I wanted to enjoy him again... And in the end, he was indeed as good as I remembered, so it was worth the money. His massage was exactly how I like it: not hard, but gentle, with an emphasis on relaxation and eroticism. The transition to sex was gradual and natural. And finally, he was wonderfully willing again, with an ass that begged for... And here I'll stop. I also invited another wonderfully muscular guy to my hotel room. He also asked for way too much. But oh well; Quality costs more these days, you know... And I decided to go for quality over quantity this past week. So, not a guy every day. I can also have a good time going out for dinner and drinks with other forum members without necessarily having to bring a guy back to my room. Apparently. And to demonstrate the quality of the second guy I mentioned, here's a picture too (you're welcome): As I expected, I didn't stick with my resolve to refuse the 600 baht entrance fee at Jupiter for long. The next evening, I was there. I know; I'm weak. Luckily, I can partly blame the other forum members who wanted to go. And yes, the guys who work at Jupiter are still more my type than the guys who work at the other bars. Although, of course, you can get something tasty at every bar. And not wanting to go into Jupiter for 600 baht wasn't the only thing I had to quickly retract. When someone suggested karaoke, I said: "I don't like karaoke and I don't sing." I suggested I'd just come and watch for an hour. I ended up staying all evening and probably even sang most of the songs... oops. It was another fantastic trip to Thailand. Not just for the boys and the adventures, but it was also just three very relaxing weeks. What a vacation is meant for. And what made it extra special this time were the many forum members I got to meet. Hope to see you again!

Was sad to see yesterday evening all atlas branding was already taken down from te building. Hope they have a good future in Soi 6. Information about many guys now moved to Tawan to work makes me feel maybe have to try out Tawan one more time...

Back in Bangkok... Probably reporting about it in more detail later. 😜 But I was not happy to see jupiter raised their cover fee (1 drink) to 600baht. I think it's too much. And told them at the door and decided not to go in. They didn't want to accept my "I will go in for old price" offer. Think should not support bar raising cover charge this high. But can't guarantee I won't be tempted later this week to do anyway...

And who doesn't like a long German sausage... 😂😜

Atlas bar is dark and closed tonight... Big question is: only closed for one night, or closed forever?....

A few notes about my stay in Pattaya the last week: I went to O Delices Bakery a few times for breakfast. It's diagonally across from Soda Massage. They have delicious breakfast combos, and the guys who work there are mostly as good as the breakfast/lunch they serve. In short: a good spot for some eye candy. I had a special Thanksgiving dinner at Zing Resort. What impressed me was the quality of the food. I don't know if their regular meals are as good, but if they have a special package for holidays (Christmas, New Year's, Thanksgiving, etc.), I definitely recommend it. After the shows at M2M, The Venue, and Best Bar, I also went to Candy Bar. Their show has a different theme every night, and apparently, Saturdays are their sexiest. So I checked that one out. And indeed, the guys (and ladyboys) are wearing less clothing than usual. The show has a burlesque theme. It builds up nicely. While it starts off somewhat tame, it gets a bit more risqué as the show progresses, without ever going over the edge of raunchy. The performers are passionate and connect with the audience. I had a really great evening there. It's definitely on par with my favorite M2M shows so far.

PATTAYA: THE JUICY STUFF Of course a visit to Boystown could not be missed, my once favorite bar, Boys Boys Boys, changed into a no-go area because of reasons already discussed in other forum posts. Last year I had a great night of fun in XBoys, so that was our destination that night. Me and a friend went there just before their show started. During the first show there were still more customers inside. But things heated up when most of them left after the first show. The boys became more uninhibited and willing. The fact that we offered a few drinks probably also worked. But in the end there were two boys with me who both could not leave their hands to themselves. And also let themselves be touched extensively. Furthermore, a lot of lap dances were given and teased in all kinds of ways. Cocks were coming out, named butts were shown. My friend also got a nice boy with/next to/on him, after some urging from me. So it was a great night out. The XBoys show remains as it used to be. Where other shows are declining in nudity and sexiness, this one is still as sexy and raunchy as ever. Also good to see that a guy who's been around for a long time (and is a favorite of a respected, unnamed forum member here) is still in good shape. Unlike some guys in Bangkok who have been in the business for a long time and whose body-wise, they're past their prime. Respect to this guy in XBoys for managing to stay so attractive. MASSAGE BOYS I met up with three massage boys while I was in Pattaya. Two were freelancers on Grindr and one from a massage shop. Let's start with the least experienced. The boys themselves have very sexy bodies. The massage was average. But the extra service didn't do it for me. Too mechanical. No passion. And all this while he was asking the highest price: 2,000 baht. The second boy was the cheapest, asking 1,000 baht. His massage was exactly what I requested. He paid extra attention to my feet with a more extensive foot massage, and after some instructions, the rest of my body was massaged with just the right pressure for me. It even got a bit kinky when he started licking my feet. And the rest of the sex was good too. He was visibly and audibly enjoying himself. A true gay bottom boy. Wonderful. The third massage boy, Benjamin (Ben), works in what I understand is a new massage shop on the outside of the Jomtien complex on the main street, Sala Kaya. The massage boy with the face tattoos (who previously worked in another shop and is very recognizable because of that face tattoo) also works there now. But my boy was just starting his second day in Pattaya. He's still experiencing the "fresh meat syndrome" where many men in Pattaya want to try him out because he's new to town. He told me he receives a lot of messages there, including via Grindr. On his first day of work, he had seven clients, and on his second day, I was his third client (late afternoon). He told me he even gets messages from guys back in bars in Jomtien, saying they need to earn their own money with an off first, but then they'd like to come and get a massage from him. Instead of a massage at the shop, I decided to invite him to my room. I prefer that. Especially being able to feel "at home" after the massage and take a shower in your own bathroom. Ben came in a bit shy, but he was a pleasant conversationalist. Ben speaks more than passable English. He comes from northeast Thailand, where his family (how could it be otherwise) has a farm. He studied marketing and had a hair salon in his hometown. If I understand correctly, he also gave massages there. He also arranged a visa for Europe through an agency and then traveled for three months through several countries (including Germany and France). Without the financial support of a farang. There, he worked as a massage therapist and charged European prices. He said he earned a lot of money this way, around 150 euros per massage. But he also needed that money to finance his expensive trip through Europe. He came to Pattaya well prepared. He had all kinds of vaccinations and went on the prep. However innocent he may seem, he clearly knew exactly what he was getting into... He was more than worth the 1500 baht. You could tell he had massage experience by the way he worked. The pressure he applied. The towels he used to get a grip when needed, preventing him from slipping away in the massage oil. He came well prepared, carrying several towels. The focus for the first half hour was truly on the massage. When I turned over, the good massage continued, but he did occasionally touch the "sensitive areas." The massage transitioned seamlessly into the extra service. Like a true bottom, he clearly enjoys riding a cock. This guy is highly recommended. I don't like to show a young man completely identifiable for privacy reasons, but based on the photo below, you should be able to recognize his profile on Grindr. And if you visit the shop: he's recognizable because he wears glasses. So Ben is definitely recommended. But be nice to him. He hasn't been ruined by staying in the "massage boy world" for too long. His slight insecurity actually makes him sweet. With him, I really felt like he wanted to please me. Both in terms of the quality of the massage, the extra services offered, and the atmosphere in general. There was also a (fourth) guy I had come to my room. But I don't officially count him as a massage boy. He didn't actually advertise himself as such, but after I asked if he'd give me a massage, he agreed. It was clear, however, that he had no experience in that. So we quickly shifted our focus to sex. And that was just good and enjoyable with him. He was also a nice and sociable guy. If you happen to see him on Grindr, you should definitely consider inviting him.

PP bar had their soft opening last night in Jomtien complex. Bar looks really fresh. With very soft comfortable sofas where you can spent some time with your favourite boy of the day. The will officially open beginning next week. So actually only in a few days from now. Staff on sight could not give any details about the owner, or why bar is called PP.

You're truly disgusting 🤢
