    Musclebar Saigon

    Haha of course. Though I suspect I'll probably be BKK first before HCM 😅
  2. I saw the article below on the update @spoon mentioned: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.scmp.com/week-asia/people/article/3334755/raids-men-only-spas-malaysia-raise-concerns-about-targeting-lgbtq-groups "Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus told reporters earlier on Sunday that investigators could not proceed with charges because “no one declared themselves a victim”, which he said limited what legal provisions police could rely on. ... 'So, the case is gone,' he said. 'As for the [premises owner], there is indeed no offence at all for now.'"

    Musclebar Saigon

    Thanks @Moses & @London Bear ! Will make a visit there the next time I'm in town. 😊
  4. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/caught-with-their-pants-down-prosecutor-surgeon-among-201-detained-at-men-only-vice-raid-in-kl "Caught with their pants down: Prosecutor, surgeon among 201 detained at ‘men only’ vice raid in KL Updated Nov 29, 2025, 04:00 PM KUALA LUMPUR - A total of 201 men were detained during a joint enforcement operation at a wellness centre along Jalan Raja Laut in Kuala Lumpur after authorities suspected the premises was being used for illicit activities. ... DCP Azani said police are investigating the case under Section 387B of the Penal Code for offences related to unnatural sexual acts. Jawi also detained 80 Muslim men under Section 29 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Federal Territories) Act for indecent behaviour in a public place." When I am in Malaysia or Indonesia, I tend to avoid saunas and any gay sex parties out of fear for situations like this. But in both countries, plenty of paid and free sex available to be had in the privacy of your hotel room.
  5. Hey all, Just wanted to ask if anyone has any info on Musclebar Saigon? From their insta, it seems to be a gay bar but not sure if the muscle guys are available for hire (like the gogo bars in Thailand) or just hosts (like Spacehair in Phnom Penh) Appreciate any info or experience you can share. 😁
  6. Wow, the mental gymnastics here...😱
  7. Quarter Saladaeng is sort of my go-to place to stay when I'm in BKK. The have a cafe (Lapin) in the hotel and across the road there is the Commons, a space with different cafes and restaurants you can chill at. Along the same road, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants, pharmacy, 7eleven etc. Yes, they also have the shuttle to either BTS Saladaeng or MRT Silom.
  8. I can confirm that it is not necessarily true in Jupiter. In my last trip, two of the boys I invited over for drinks (and eventually offed one of them) were both not wearing any number tags but were available for offs. Best to check with mamasan if you're interested in offing any particular boy, even those without tags.
  9. All 4 of them have straight guys among the model for hire, but for Jupiter at least (can't comment on the others), some of the straight models either only go out with girls or can go out with guys but have some limitations on what they want to do in bed with you. You can check with the mamasan to confirm.
  10. That's awesome. Hope you'll have a good trip there and looking forward to your report! The weather should be a lot better as well by then, I think.
  11. Hey guys, This is report on my trip about 2 weeks ago in BKK. Had a work engagement there and decided to extend the stay for a short weekend vacation. Thought I'd share some info on the bars I've visited. (Sorry for any typos or grammar issues 🙏. Writing this out on my phone) Jupiter Finally, after talking about it in a few reports, I finally took a guy out from Jupiter! Lol I came in initially just to watch the show. It was a Friday night but the bar was no where nearly as crowded as before. Still a lot of customers relative to the other bars I went to, but plenty of empty seats. I had one of the mamasan helped me with the boys. Basically, from what I understand (and confirmed by the boy I eventually offed), about 5-6 guys only exclusively go with women. From the rest, a lot of the str8 guys are ok to go with male clients but vary in terms of what they are willing to do (usually they won't kiss other guys). The ones that are open to all are the gay models. The first guy I invited over for a drink was a fit, next door kinda guy that I had my eye on in my last trip. He spoke limited English so we chatted with a translator app. He quoted THB 4000, was ok with to fuck guys but he doesn't kiss. I thanked him and gave a small tip for his time. I then selected another guy from the rotation. He was lean fit, from Cambodia and smiled a lot. He was OK to do a lot of things (as a top, of course) and was pleasant to talk to (even gave a brief rundown on some of the other guys I was interested in). I offed him for a ST. We went to get something to eat before going back to the hotel. The only turn-off with this guy was that he brought up how he was financially struggling and had family issues several times from when we left the bar. I gave polite responses but didn't probe further. Back at the hotel, he did everything he said he would and we had a good time. All in all, I paid THB 1900 (2 drinks + entry fee + off fee) to the bar and THB 3000 to the model after having some fun. Atlas I went here on a Sunday. This was the biggest shock for me. The bar was deserted. Only about 8 guys on rotation, with probably only 1 qualifying as a muscle/bodybuilder. The others were either slim, overweight or just average. Only one other client beside me there. I didn't see any of the other Tawan guys that were there on my last trip. I spoke briefly with the owner but he seemed tired/distracted. After one drink, I just left. Tahn Tawan This was formerly Tawan/the One. Apparently, a new owner bought over a couple of months back (I'm sure someone mentioned this in another report). The bar was actually crowded, and there were more muscle guys/bodybuilders here than at Atlas. Some of the faces that were at Atlas before came back to Tawan. They had around maybe 15 guys, of which half at least are muscle/bodybuilding type of guys, while the other half is a mix of lean/fit next door guys or average twinks. (The guy who previously played the doorman role is now in rotation) I saw the guy I've offed several times before and decided to off him for that night. Huge bodybuilder guy, solid muscles though not shredded for competitions yet. He told me that he and several others left Atlas because apparently Atlas is trying to cater more to clients who prefer twinks (though from the my earlier visit, hardly seems that way). The new owner of Tawan apparently is a nice guy and flexible with the models. I had a good muscle worship session with him, followed by a good, passionate sex. Would definitely come back for him in my next trip. Cost-wise, boy's drink + entry + off fee was THB 1500, and tipped the guy THB 3000. Non-bar Boys Aside from the bars, I also had a long time session with a previous off who no longer works in bars (at the moment, at least). The sex was good when we met, but after that it was a little disappointing. I wanted to have a cuddle buddy for the night and maybe a morning sex too (hinted that to him before bed). I ended up with neither 🤣. He doesn't cuddle much, and was rather fixated with his phone. We had breakfast in the morning, tipped him THB 3500 and decided to go on with my day. He was a really sweet guy but whether it was because of miscommunication or he was just not into it, it seemed like a having a long time with him was a mistake on my part. Anyway, lesson learned 😅. Weather It was raining everyday when I was there but thankfully, only short rain spells which cleared after sometime. And the night was mostly clear while I was there, so no interruptions on my night activities.
  12. Yeah, they approached to ask if I'd wanna have fun and I asked them how much.
  13. In my recent trip, the asking price I get is around 450 to 500 for the lean/muscular type in garoto. In the sauna, the most I've been asked is 300.
  14. I am envious!! Haha, hoping to try visiting Rio during carnival or maybe NYE next year.
  15. Hey all. I've been travelling around a fair bit in the past few weeks, so thought I'd share brief reports in the next few weeks on my experience at some of the places I travelled to. I was in Sao Paulo and Rio recently (you may have seen me posting a couple of weeks/months earlier asking questions on Rio). As a disclaimer, I was actually more occupied with non-sexual touristic activities (which I will not bore you with), so there's probably not as much I can report on regarding the sex scene. Sao Paulo I was here just for 3 nights (weekend) and stayed at Intercity The Universe Paulista - close enough to walk to Av Paulista but far enough to not be troubled by noise etc. I had no problem bringing in a guy (without registration) much like most hotels Thailand. Garoto com local - I only hired one guy from the site who came to my room. A little on the higher end when it comes to fees - BRL 500 but I think it was worth it. The guy is a professional model, tall, muscular, masculine and gay. Told him what I was into and he was able to do all of it. I had a good time with him. The models on the site that I contacted mostly quoted prices between BRL450 and 500 (with one quoting BRL 800 and some didn't even reply). Lagoa - this is the only sauna I went to during my short time at SP. I went there on all 3 nights (around 8pm) and found there to be a good number of guys on each night, a good mix of different types of guys. I had one guy here, muscular top straight guy but can kiss, do foreplay on top of the usual sex. He quoted a higher rate when he approached me but agreed to BRL 200. There were a few other guys who approached me with the same rate, but I either didn't have the time on this short trip or the guy was just not my type. One of the guys asked me to join him for drinks at a nearby bar after Lagoa lol. All in all, I found most of the guys here to be quite relaxed and friendly. (Info for 1st timers - you collect your towel and locker key at the counter. The key comes with a locker number which will be used to purchase drinks and rooms. You'll get two large towels and a pair of slippers. Tips to the guys you take are paid in cash separately to the guys and the other payment for drinks, rooms etc. will be paid at the counter either by cash or credit card). Apps - there are a lot of guys for hire on Grindr. I've had a few chats but didn't really hire anyone there. Rio I was in Rio for 4 nights during the weekdays and stayed at Grand Mercure Copacabana. Prior to the trip, I contacted the hotel to enquire on their visitor policy and they confirmed that I can have visitors at the room but the visitors will have to register at the reception. Unfortunately, I was not able to test this out as the guys I had were all at the saunas. Clube 117 - I went here on Tuesday and Thursday around 8pm. While it is obviously more crowded on Tuesday with guests (free rooms), I found that on both nights they have a good selection of guys of different types. I had two guys here on separate occasions, each for BRL 200. Both were muscular tops with good physique, handsome looks. The 1st guy was unfortunately not a good experience for me. We had used the translator to communicate what I was looking for and he was ok with it but during the session, he said he doesn't do certain things. When I showed him our earlier translated conversation, he insisted it wasn't what I understood it to mean. Not sure if it was a genuine miscom or just him being sneaky but I cut the session short and just paid him his fees to save myself the headache. Fortunately, the 2nd guy was better. He was upfront about what he can and can't do, and I had a good time with him. He was more passionate during the session and was overall a pleasant guy (during and after the session). At both session, the room was not really cleaned properly that the models had to call for one of the guys working there to change the sheets etc. (Info for 1st timers - you collect your locker key at the counter. The key comes with a locker number which will be used to purchase drinks and rooms. Once you go downstairs, the worker at the locker will hand you two towels and a pair of slippers. Tips to the guys you take are paid in cash separately to the guys and the other payment for drinks, rooms etc. will be paid at the counter either by cash or credit card.) Point 202 - I was here Monday and Wednesday nights around 8pm. Some similar faces seen at 117 but generally I find the selection of guys to be more limited. I didn't take anyone from my visits here though so I can't report on the rooms etc.(Info for 1st timers - you collect your locker key at the counter. The key comes with a locker number which will be used to purchase drinks and rooms. Once you go in and find the locker section, the worker at the locker will hand you two towels and a pair of slippers. Tips to the guys you take are paid in cash separately to the guys and the other payment for drinks, rooms etc. will be paid at the counter either by cash or credit card.) At both saunas, they had good drag shows during the time I was there. I like the overall floor setup of 117 (sauna/steam room and shower at lower floor, bar and porn room/lounge at separate sections of the ground floor, and other rooms for fun at the top floor) compared to Point 202 (you'd need to cross the bar to go the top floor where the sauna is). Apps - there were a lot more guys for hire and normal guys just looking for sex that contacted me. Compared to SP, I find the guys on the apps in Rio to be easier to approach. That's pretty much it on my report for this trip. Hope it'll be helpful to those making their way there. I'm already making plans for my next trip to Brazil 😬
  16. Many thanks for the input guys. Yeah, it didn't seem quite right but as I'm not familiar with the practices there, thought it would be best to check with the experts here first. Thanks for this @speedoo1. I take it the model/muscle types would probably fall under this category?
  17. Hey guys, Is it common for the escorts to ask for payments in advance? I see that mileroticos has a filter for models who don't ask for advance. If advance payment is required, is the practice to pay the full sum or just part of it? In my last trip to Medellín, I didn't encounter this but recently, a few of the models I've chatted are asking for it (and mentioning a rate of COP 300). 😅

    Hotels in Rio

    There's a difference between registration of a person as additional guest to your room (and to your booking), and registering a short-term visitor. What I shared in my update was in relation to the latter (i.e. short-term visitors, not an additional guest), where most of the hotels I've contacted DO NOT allow for and the 2 that do allow for it, have processes that needed to be followed (and some fees, depending on time of visit etc.)

    Hotels in Rio

    UPDATE: Just in case this might be useful for anyone else making plans for Rio, I've contacted several hotels around Ipanema and Copacabana on their short-term visitor policy (yes, I'm sure what their policy says and what was actually practiced could be completely different 🤣) Out of those, only 2 hotels confirmed short-term visitors are allowed to a guest's room, Hilton and Grand Mercure (subject to registration at counter and possible additional fees).
  20. Hi @Lucky, can I ask whether you were able to bring any GP/visitor to your room during your stay at Miramar?

    Hotels in Rio

    Thanks @Xclay and @Latbear4blk for the advices. I am fairly a newbie in the LATAM side of the world, so I've sourced for useful tips and advices across various reports here in terms of the general dos and don'ts. I was just hoping to get some recommendations on guest-friendly hotels as I understand this can be tricky, just like in Medellín 😅. @floridarob, ah got it. Thanks for that! From a general google search, seems like a few other hotels are also guest friendly (e.g. Hilton, Sol Ipanema, Arena etc.), so I'll try to narrow down the options from there and email them on their visitor policy.

    Hotels in Rio

    Ah, I didn't know that. I'm looking for a mix of both, but definitely will be bringing in guests to my room. I'll try and email those hotels to check their policy on this but thanks for the head's up. If anyone knows any recommendations for guest-friendly hotels, please let me know. I generally prefer not to opt for Airbnbs as I like the services that come with a hotel room. But may have to look into this option if hotels don't allow guests over.

    Hotels in Rio

    Hi all, Can I ask which hotels would you guys recommend in Rio? I have a trip coming up next month but haven't booked a hotel yet as I'm torn between staying near Ipanema or Copacabana. Help please! 😅 This will by my first trip to Rio, so I'm planning to check out the saunas and bars. I know a lot of the bars are around Ipanema, but the saunas seem to be scattered around in terms of location. For now, I'm looking at either Arena Ipanema, Orla Copacabana or Grand Mecure.
  24. Thanks for the input @12is12. Yeah, I will probably be spending the day time checking out some of those attractions and spend the night with guys that I (hopefully) can get connected to with Manny's help. And from some of the reports here, I would probably want to explore Marlowe's and other bars with guys for hire. A question for the SD experts here - for STI prevention medications (Prep, Doxypep), are they available in clinics or pharmacies in general? I do plan to bring my own, but given that I'll be visiting several countries, thought it would help to know in advance. Many thanks for the advices. 🙏
  25. Hey guys, I've been reading a lot of the threads on SD sexcapades (and damn, those hot huge dicks! Lol) I'm planning a trip in August and wanted to ask a few things here, if anyone could help share their knowledge: 1. Manny - based on all the great reviews, I'm planning to use Manny's services for airport pickups/dropoffs and sourcing for guys. Is there a way I should introduce myself or maybe via reference or something? 😅 2. Time - is one week enough to explore SD or is that an overkill? From what I've researched so far, there seems to be plenty of things to do (aside from servicing dicks) even for a whole week. 3. Language - I don't speak Spanish but was able to rely heavily on Google translate while I was in Colombia. Will that work well in SD as well? 😅 Any other tips/recommendations would be welcomed. Thanks guys for all the great reports (and pics!!) shared here. 😬
