Thought I'd share my experience at Lagoa here instead of starting a new thread. I was there past 2 nights, just to check the place out. They had a karaoke session last night, and a drag show the night before with hunky strippers before and after that. The bar area was crowded on both nights I was there (Sat and Sun nights) Personally, I'd say most (if not all) the GPs there are hot! GPs ranging from bodybuilders to muscle hunks to toned, next door type. Clients seem to be mostly middle aged/older gentlemen, with a few exceptions. I only had a session with one of the GPs there: tall, muscular (Russian looking?) guy. Quoted 200 with gozar, which is pretty low based on what I understand from the posts here. The session was alright, he was straight, so some stuff were off limits (which I don't mind) but he gave me a rub down, kissing, some foreplay and let me play with his body. We both came, and showered together. I don't speak Portugese, and he doesn't speak English but we somehow made decent attempt at a conversation before and after the session. All in all, the place is amazing, with lots of options, especially for those who are particularly into hunks and toned guys.

Hi guys. I'm in SP for the first time and planning to check out Lagoa. Just wanna make sure, this is the place right? https://espacolagoasauna.com.br

Hey guys, I noticed that there are different rates for GPs with cum. What is the usual rate if we'd like to have the GP cum during the session?

Will be visiting in a few weeks, looking forward to it already 😬

Hi Canadian, Can I ask what are the rates like a in general for guys on garatoscomlocal?

@floridarob I just posted a question on the Colombia thread asking if anyone has recent info on boys' fees, as I have a trip to Medellin coming up. Thanks for this!! 😬

Hi guys, I'll be on a trip soon to Medellin. Wondering if anyone has recent info on the rates for guys in Medellin? Thanks in advance!

Well, I don't look oriental, since I'm of mixed heritage.

Haha nope. Southeast Asian, actually 🤣🤣🤣

Hey guys. Just thought share a brief report on my recent trip. Bars I went to 2 bars during my weekend trip; Frolic & ChinChin. It was pretty packed on Friday night in both bars, celebrating the start of Pride month. On Friday night, I was at Frolic first, before going to ChinChin later that night. Frolic had 2 gogo boys dancing as opening for the drag show. The crowd was kind of a mixed bag in terms of age and local vs foreigner. People tend to stick to their own click at first, until the alcohol and whatever they were taking in from the balloons kicked in. Frolic also has an entrance fee for Saturday night (around 100k VND, I think), which does not include drinks. I only went to ChinChin on Friday night, and it was pretty late by then but the crowd was still pretty big. The vibe I get from ChinChin is that it's more for the "bougie" crowd. The bar's set up gives off a more upscale feel, and the guests actually dressed up decently. Again, people tend to stick with their own crowd, and there are more locals here with maybe the odd few foreigners. But the guys were, IMHO, hotter than the those in the Frolic crowd 😅. Sauna I only went to one sauna, Nadam. It was a Saturday evening (around 5pm) and there was pretty big crowd, with varying ages. Though, I seem to be the only non-oriental looking guest from what I can see. A lot of guys with great bodies there. The crowd tend to be more reserved, with a few guys giving a grope if they're interested, to see if you are too. There is a pretty well equipped gym, and the layout of the sauna provides for different areas (multiple lounging areas, saunas (including steam room, hot & cold jacuzzi) are on the ground floor, with the mazes on the first and secord floor. The entry fee was less than 100k VND if I'm not mistaken. Saunas are not really my thing but if you enjoy it and are into oriental asians, this would be a good place for you. Online MBs I received several offers on the apps (Grindr and HeeSay), ranging from 500k VND to 2 mil VND depending on what you want. There are surprisingly more gym fit MBs than the twinkier guys. My experience hiring one of the guys was, unfortunately, not that great. The guy looked masculine with a gym fit body in the pics, but in person he was more effeminate. When I showered, he went ahead and helped himself to the snacks and drinks I had in my room...without asking me. I didn't realise it until after he left. The service itself was rather mediocre, so all in all, it wasn't really a good experience. But I am eagre to come back and explore a bit more of the HCM scene. I met several amazing local guys over coffee and some of the expats I met at the bars. Looking forward to my next trip.

Taking notes from this for my trip this year. 😬😬😬

I've been trying to see if I can make this work and I might just do it! Lol Thanks @floridarob for the suggestion and head's up about PVR!

Thanks for the info guys. @floridarob I will be in Colombia before flying to Brazil. I'm still contemplating on whether it would be better to head to SP/Rio or just change directions and fly off to Puerto Vallarta instead 😅

Hi @redxs, hope you had a good time in your trip to Brazil. I was wondering if I could get your (and perhaps other experienced members') input on which of the two would be a good destination for a first timer in Brazil. I'm from Asia and would be making my 1st trip to South America this August. I have about one week to spend either in São Paulo or Rio, and I've been researching on which to pick. From the commercial gay sex scene perspective (not much info online on rates, where to go etc.) as well as the touristy stuff, which would you prefer? Any tips and information would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!

Thanks for the info everyone. I am on HeeSay and I've used the explore function to check out the profiles around where I will be staying. I did notice that there are a lot more twink bottoms in that area. Is that generally the case in HCM? If I'm more into hunky tops, any recommendations of massage places to go? I will definitely checkout Nadams too, and thanks @Moses for the info on the rates. Appreciate it a lot.

Hi guys, Not sure if this should be posted here or at the Escort section for members, but just wanted to get some input on the HCM mb scene. Could anyone share what are the average rates like? I saw some advertising on Grindr but are there better places to get one (maybe massage shops or gogo bars like in Bangkok)? This would be my first time to HCM so would appreciate your input on this.

And yet, after the show is over, the waiters and papasan would go around asking customers to off the models that remained (as they did with me on this trip) 🤣

I always wonder what's the logic behind this.

+1 I would always visit this bar in all my visits, mainly to appreciate the beauty of the models and their well choreographed performances. Just need to add offing a guy from there to this. Perhaps an invitation to sit for a drink first would be good, just to get a feel of whether they are even interested.

That could be the case or it could be a number of other reasons. Whatever it may be, I hope they both got something good out of the arrangement. My objective for the next trip - try and off a guy from Jupiter 🤣

Jupiter The entrance fee is THB 500. Unlike my previous trip in November last year, the bar had a sizeable number of female customers (some of whom were quite rowdy during the shows). The boys and shows were pretty much the same. I think I have a crush on the cute singer who would usually perform a few sets before the show starts. 😬 There was this young looking twunk customer at the bar that I took notice of because he kept changing seats. When the show was close to starting, a model just walked in wearing street clothes (presumably from a previous off). Upon seeing this model, the twunk almost jumped out of his seat to catch the nearest papasan, talking while pointing at the model. Not sure what was the discussion but the papasan was shaking his head a lot and the twunk went back to his seat. A little while after that, the twunk again went to talk to the same papasan and after some time, I saw the model went to join the twunk (who, at this point, was smiling ear to ear) at his seat. My assumption (which could be completely wrong) is that the model was initially not available but after some persuasion, the twunk was able to get the model. I was actually impressed by how assertive and persistent the twunk was but I also noticed the uncomfortable look on the model's face. I hope they ended up having a mutually enjoyable night.

I'm sure you can ask them. Personally, I prefer them with nothing on 😛

Hi guys, Just came back from a trip to Bangkok. It was mainly for work so I did not get to do much with the gogo/massage scene but thought I'd share what I did manage to do. There were two main things I at least wanted to do on this trip; checking out the Tawan situation personally and checking out the Sol bar which I've passed by so many times in my previous trip but never walked in. 😅 I am happy to say that I accomplished both. Tawan On Tawan, I've shared my findings here. Hopefully, that answered some questions a few of the members here had. Sol I checked out Sol just once on this trip. The entrance fee was THB 450. The layout of the bar was quite nice, spacious stage and floor but there's an annoying pillar at the middle-front of the stage which kind of blocks part of the stage depending on where you sit. The boys were a mixed bunch, but most consisted of str8 looking twinks. There were a few older guys who are lean/muscular and there's one guy who, if I'm not mistaken, was from Tawan quite some time back. The show was the usual mix of the drag, sexy show and big cock show (the movements they used for their "sexy dance" is pretty much the same as with most other bars except Jupiter, which makes me wonder if they are trained by the same coach, or if that's just the Thai version of a sexy dance 😅). There were only 2-3 other customers there aside from me, so the boys were trying hard to secure an off (which can be a bit uncomfortable). Overall, it's not my kind of bar but the twink lovers here might actually enjoy it. I'll continue with some brief update Jupiter, Moonlight, Hotmale and Dreamboys a little later.

Just one observation on the guys. On one of the nights I visited them, most of the boys were not there. I asked the doorman and he said they went to drink and dance at a nearby place. So, maybe we're the ones worrying to much about them? 🤔

I think his name is Dee, but not 100% sure. According to him, he's not one of the regulars at Tawan before and would only be there 2-3 times in a week as a model. You can always just go to the guys and choose from those available there.
