Time for some amendments / updates as things are changing very rapidly in Supertown.
The updated Supertown map was published yesterday on the official FB Supertown site:

In the amended map version displayed above, I updated the Great Bar to be the Gus bar, and I inserted two 2 red squares to highlight:
The new C Bar - which I had previously reported as the Charlie Bar. The bar's name has since been amended by the bar's owner, Charlie. C Bar now has its own official FB page at: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61595890915578
It is still scheduled to have it's soft opening on Friday 30 October 2026.

On the map is an empty red square highlight where the new bar that is supposed to open on Saturday 21 November 2026. It is located next to the M2M Cabaret Bar and construction work is well underway. Unfortunately, the name of this new entity has still not yet been revealed. If you know it please let us all know.

There has been some confusion regarding the already existing Jewel 78 bar and the @Home bar.
Both bars have agreed to a joint collaboration where 2 times each week they will produce a Cabaret show every Tuesday and Friday from 9:30 pm - 10:30 pm as stated in the below announcement. The joint cabaret show will take place in the soi/street in front of both bars. Consequently, each bar still remains to be its own entity - which has been the case for several years already. The @Home bar has the very popular bingo night, which is held on Wednesday evenings at 8pm.

Below are 2 photos from the inaugural joint cabaret event that took place on Friday 23 October 2026. From the photos it looks like the dancers were sourced from the M2M cabaret bar?? But I am not sure.

Well-thought of and practical plan. Spreading the bottle over 2 visits is a good excuse to visit Jupiter again!
During my visit with forum members to Jupiter, mamasan always ask us if we want a bottle. There were usually 4 of us. Unfortunately most don't drink alcohol so we declined ordering a bottle and were content with our individual drinks.

I remember the mamasan showing me the seal on the bottle of Johnnie Walker at Jupiter when I ordered a bottle. Very classy gesture to let customers see the seal and watch it opened, thus certifying it's authentic.

Yes especially since they keep the unfinished bottle for you. If I plan to visit at least twice on my trip , on the first visit I pay for the bottle and mixers and no boy drinks. If my friend is with me, two covers are waived. And the second visit, just pay cover and mixers, again no boy drinks. Works out to reasonable value in the end.

They’re supposed to break the seal in front of you though it’s not foolproof. I’ve come across fake bottles before. Once I’ve verified a bar or club sells fake drinks I never go there again. Whisky is the most commonly faked alcohol. It tastes similar to the original (hard to discern since it’s been mixed) and gives a similar initial buzz but you can’t easily get drunk. I once opened a bottle with two boys and none of us could work up any form of sustained drunken merriment even though a bottle is plenty for three. A real downer since we were in a club.
Unless you drink copious amounts and then it’s not a nice “drunk” high, as you’d get off a proper whisky, but a disgusting, rough feeling. The next day hangover is also wretched. I wouldn’t recommend it.
There are two ways to avoid it, only go to verified establishments or order a bottle of non-whisky such as vodka as these are less commonly faked.
Jupiter only sells authentic whisky. I have opened multiple bottles over the years with no issues. I can only speak for Johnnie Walker. They probably value their Thai and Chinese VIPs too much to lose them to fake alcohol.

That's good to know! Jupiter gets +1 from me!

This isn’t supposed to happen, the bottle should mean you don’t get double billed.

Correct but they like to try it on. You need to agree with the Mamasan when ordering the bottle that there will be no boy drinks charged. Normally they agree for 4 people (customer included) so if more than three join, you then need to buy a boy drink. If you don’t agree up front, they will assume you don’t know and charge boy drinks for all of them.

I order the bottle because I want to drink or have the fun of getting the boys drunk. There is no pressure to pay additional boy drinks. They pour themselves drinks from the bottle as does the mamasan in charge. Usually I make it a little more fun by pouring shots and tipping them when they drink a shot. That way they get tips but it’s not the awkwardness of sitting to the end wondering if you’ll get 100 baht or 1000 for your efforts. This is only for new guys I call down from the stage who I do not know well. I dislike boys who come over uninvited and help themselves to the row of shot glasses. One even had the cheek to help himself to a 100 baht note after he had downed a shot uninvited (I happened to have the 100 baht notes in a stack on the table).

Alternative
Off fee for 2 guys = 2 x 500 = 1000
Short time tip = 2 x 2000 = 4000
Beer, drinks from 7 Eleven = 500
Total = 1000 + 4000 + 500 = 5500 baht

4000 for bottle and mixers
400 for boy drink for guy
3 guys = 3 x 400 = 1200
Tips for 3 guys = 3 x 100 = 300
Total = 4000 + 1200 + 300 = 5500 baht

Most bars will charge you for a "boy drink" regardless of whether you have opened a bottle or not. However, once you do have a bottle, the boy is usually free to have a second or subsequent drink directly from it, unless of course, they prefer to return to the floor or want to pressure you into buying more boy drinks.
Some bars enforce a limit on how many people can drink from a single bottle. e.g. when five of us (2 farang and 3 Thais, all paying customers) went to Fresh Boys, the bar insisted that we buy an extra individual drink for one person in our group. Fortunately, one of our friends didn't drink whiskey anyway, so they were perfectly happy to order a gin and tonic.

After meal at Sarika, forum member had to change money at X-One. I followed and after that we walked around Silom, even stopping outside Sun Massage at soi 6 and chatting with the very charming guys. I personally know 3 of them (from Vietnam, where else!) and I couldn't decide on which of them so I had to politely decline their invitations. I need a longer weekend trip. At least 3 days so I can meet a different guy for massage every day!

Banana Bar outside is the perfect place for watching people as they enter soi 4. Banana Bar waiters are excellent conversationalists too.
We spent one and half hours chatting - me and two forun members - about life, stamp collecting and recent developments in Thailand offline and online.
My guy joined us at 9pm. I had asked for him to spend the night with me. He is always happy to accompany me to Jupiter as his Vietnamese friend is a waiter there. He also knows mamasan well because many years ago, he did a try out as a Jupiter model for a short while. He decided against working there because he didn't want his face to be in Jupiter's social media videos. My guy's best friend worked at Jupiter for a long time and he did well enough to quit working in Bangkok entirely.
At 9:30pm, we spotted Poppy walking past. Jupiter would open soon. Within 10 minutes, we had paid for our drinks and made our way to Jupiter. Mamasans were happy to see us as we were regular customers who offed the models in the past. We were given front row seats at left side of stage. There were probably 10 other customers - 3 sets of mixed couples and the rest were lone male punters. These are true fans of Jupiter and everyone had come early to get good seats. Poppy had started singing. Charming showmanship, wide repertoire of songs (Thai, English, Chinese) and silky vocals - he is one of reasons I always enjoy going to Jupiter.
The other reasons to go to Jupiter
Seeing models
Seeing twinky waiters
Seeing customers
Tonight I saw an Asian couple (man and woman in 50s) off a Jupiter model but not before they interviewed 2 other models individually. I guess only the 3rd model was willing to do what the couple wanted.
Ditto for a Chinese customer in his 40s. Well-dressed. When he came into bar, he was ushered to sit at back and he insisted on being put in front row. He pointed at some empty seats and was told they were reserved for regular customers. Mamasan, realising that this customer was serious about offing a model, got him to squeeze in front row with two customers who had come early and seated there. He interviewed 2 models, including one who had been interviewed by the Asian husband wife couple earlier. Throughout the night, he was talking to mamasan and asking questions about the models. When I left Jupiter after midnight, the customer was still seated alone. I hope he found his guy for the night!

My previous weekend trip was in July. I didn't come to Bangkok for two months in August and September. In fact, it was supposed to be no more trips for rest of 2026 until 2 week Christmas holiday in December. But I happened to be able to take a day off in October and timing coincided with two forum members being in Bangkok at same time. And to add more pull factor, my guy is back from Vietnam after overseeing majority of construction of his house for his parents and family. He was supposed to be back in end November but he decided on coming back before 15 September date when 60 day visa-free stay is cut down to 30 days. So he is currently able to stay till mid November and by then he would have applied for a one year work visa. Apparently, the one year work visas is only open for application from November to April every year.

I was supposed to meet my guy at 3pm but due to the flight delay, I could only arrive one hour later. So 4pm my guy and I got reacquainted at Raya Hotel - a place where we got to know each other 10 years ago when Soi Twilight was still in existence. We had a creative and fun time with the extra space and extra bed in the family room that the hotel had upgraded me to. After we washed up, we were hungry so we walked to Silom Complex with the intention to eat Singapore chicken rice. Unfortunately, the eatery has closed so we ended up having hotpot at MK Kitchen. 800 baht for 2 persons.

After eating hotpot, it was back to room to rest. When night arrived, I spent time catching up with guys at Midnight and Good Boy bars. We played pool at the small pool table bar and eventually ended the night with supper at Foodland and invited some friends to join us before my guy and I went back to Raya Hotel for the night.

I was at Good Boy buying drinks for the 3 Vietnamese guys who worked. Including them, only 15 guys working on a Friday night. Two or three cuties. But I couldn't possibly buy them drinks since I was with the Viet contingent. There are around 8 Viet guys working regularly at Good Boy. The other Viet guys either went back Vietnam, decided not to work that night or had customer pre-booking. One of the 3 guys whom I sat with complained that he didn't have an off for 2 weeks. Later in the night, I found out from his 2 friends that he got offed after I left the bar!

I was diagnosed with bladder cancer which had spread to my lungs in January. I managed one short trip to bkk in April before the chemo/immuno started. The good news was that the ct scan in August showed my lung tumours had reduced by 50%. After about 57 trips to Thailand in 16 years I miss it. Seize the day.

You’ve certainly earned a kinder, gentler 2027. And point well taken … carpe diem.
