I might be considered local after 20years but I wasn't on day one or on earlier short holidays. I still managed hookups by doing some research and chatting with guys on sites like gay.com or gaydar in those days.

Can't beat the ham n cheese toastie and a visit to the ice-cream fridge offers some good choices.

There are plenty of guys looking for hookups in KL. Sure there has been some difficulties with locals using apps but they soon know a way around it. Have stayed in KL for 20 years and had no problems meeting guys. Of course there is much less of a bar scene but massage centres are common place. Some areas are "home" to "massage" guys from Indonesia who visit to ply their trade. The raid on Otot scared a lot of people off saunas but some still exist although not very classy. Upkeep is not great which is not surprising given you could be closed down tomorrow. Many Malaysians use the Blowingwind forum for info and hookups. Of course it's not Thailand but a good time can be had.

Most of us would not be permitted to enter. HOUSE RULES Who comes in. Gentlemen only, ages 20 to 55. Photo ID may be checked at the door. No entry under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Illicit drugs are absolutely not permitted

Should have gone to Specsavers!

Another raid. This time it's in Penang. https://www.chinapress.com.my/?p=4690775

It is definitely Otot and it hasn't been expanded. I have seen video of the actual raid - quite confronting. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9uoy62 I am not aware of Otot being raided before but given it has operated for more than 20yrs it is possible. There was a raid in Johor Bahru recently of massage parlour. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2025/10/16/johor-immigration-raids-massage-centres-detains-15-foreign-nationals The raids conducted in recent times have been more about illegal immigrants and drug use. This one is different 🙁

Heaven sauna is one you should try. You won't feel out of place there and will most likely find what you are both seeking. http://heavensauna.com/ Sauna Mania is also worth a visit.

Whilst Hua Hin might be pretty much devoid of gay nightlife you will still find guys on the apps. Predominantly on Grindr, Hornet and Romeo. Guys will often message offering massage. There is at least one gay massage on soi 96 (96/1?) https://www.facebook.com/ruk.dee.2024 I can also recommend Jandarra Massage on Soi 55 You can also find guys working at a few of the many places around town.

Penang - 2 saunas on Butterworth side Ipoh - 1 sauna Kuala Lumpur - at least 7 saunas of varying quality spread all around greater KL. Malacca - rumoured to be a new sauna Johor Bahru - 1 sauna Plenty of massage options in Penang, KL and JB. Many Indonesian MBs in KL and they often travel to other cities. Plenty of guys on the apps, MBs and free. Log on to Romeo or Hornet and test the market. Just don't expect gay nightlife like Bangkok. Long distance bus travel throughout Malaysia is frequent and cheap.

Sorry but already have my boy so cannot complete assignment. Security seemed to be absent when returning at night but maybe lurking somewhere.

Staying at Welcome World now. No idea about joiners but you can enter from Dongtan beach and there is no security. The hotel main entry is via a long, long driveway from Thappraya Rd. Staying in a room overlooking the beach. Very nice. I would take a look at BB House which is just next to Welcome World. Looks promising.

There are two departures per day, 10:00 and 14:00. They will pick you up in a mini van from your hotel about 30 mins earlier and take you to their main bus station where you will board the large bus. On arrival at the North Pattaya bus station you will again transfer to a mini bus to be dropped at your hotel. Just make sure you select your pickup and drop-off hotels when making the booking. If the timing suits it's a good service.
