I read something similar by a straight guy about Vietnamese money girls.

10-15 years ago, I had several negative experiences with Vietnamese money boys in Bangkok. Friends and forums reported similar. One friend summed it up nicely: they ask a lot (of money), but do very little (in bed). Whereas the several Vietnamese I met for free online in Bangkok or Vietnam all fine.

They all moved (end of last year?) see here: https://www.gayguides.com/topic/78830-ladprao-101-massages-moved/

Indeed, that was my impression for massage and happy ending (no fucking). One guy I had twice, another once, and all three encounters where as if they had been woken up from sleep with a hangover!

With my system, I don't need numbers or colors. I could pay blindly.

Here another X of the same massage shop: https://x.com/CGame4m/media This kind of accounts often gets blocked. If you like something you see, download it now and not later! Not TK in Ladprao any more, they all moved, I posted separately. I have been with several, and the pictures/videos are accurate. But elsewhere just in written form, there is indeed some false advertising. I have been with massage boys who were advertised as big, but I would call them average. Luckily, that's not the decisive factor for me. But if it is, you should bring a tape measure!

There is no 5000 THB note, and indeed it would be impractical. Whereas 100 USD and 100 EUR I find convenient. I have two compartments in my wallet, first is 20-50-100, second is 500-1000. When I'm looking for notes in poor light, I just have to feel in first or second compartment, from front or back.

I understand and I have been there myself, what I call first impression "not a clear hit" but then other qualities once we get to business. However what I read in the OP's description, and what I was writing about, is "No Way!". For me, there is "clear hit", "not a clear hit" but let's see how it turns out, and "no way!". When I'm paying, it has to be "clear hit", when I meet someone for fun for free, "not a clear hit" can work.

Good to hear a voice of reason! I think the same and haven't set foot in any bar since Covid. "and you've spaffed £300 to £350 by the time..." and that does not even guarantee a good time! When I was still offing boys from Bangkok gogo bars, the success rate was similar to online or cheaper places. Sometimes it just doesn't work out between the guy and me. Even with buying the guy a drink to have an audition, I still had duds!

Before visiting this shop, I strongly recommend you read a recent post by @macaroni21 on his ShamelessMack2 travel blog. Here is a link to the article: https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/2026/04/19/magically-still-in-business/ Also, I visited this shop in March and included information in my trip report. Here is what I wrote: Thanks for your very frank report. "He was not my type at all…older gentleman, late 30’s or possibly early 40’s, certainly not twink material, definitely on the chubby side…zero attraction whatsoever. Provided me with a glass of water, turned on A/C unit, showed me a price list. At this point I should have politely declined and just left,..." I walked out of massage places because nobody there appealed to me more often than I had massages. I don't understand how grown-ups in this forum spend time and money on something they would rather not, out of politeness or shyness. My worst case was that I was already showered and lying nude on the massage table, waiting for my selected masseur coming from elsewhere, but the person who entered my room was not the one I asked management for! I turns out there are two boys of the same name, and the one I wanted doesn't work here any more. I dressed, made an excuse, and left.

Better to avoid the entire month of April. Songkran and one week before and after (business closed). And the weather in Thailand (and elsewhere in SEAsia) is awful. I'm out of Thailand the entire month of April, if I can arrange it. To China, where it is springtime! Link in OP doesn't work. But from description, I think I have seen this picture.

Grindr and other online dating apps are safe in the sense that most profiles are for business, so they post their pictures. Whereas elsewhere poor profile pictures, nonsense profile picture, or pictures of someone else is rife. It might be worth asking for more pictures or even do a video chat to make you get what you expect based on the pictures. Trusted in what sense? Certainly not with paying money in advance. You should never pay anything in advance. If someone asks for money for travel in advance, that's most certainly a scam. The only payment should be after your encounter.

Suvarnabhumi airport is in Samut Prakarn province. While airside allows entry and change of airplane without visa or immigration, and has different laws for customs and taxes, the banks are all landside. I guess it has nothing to do with Samut Prakarn province, rate in the airport are just like that (poor compared to elsewhere), because the banks there form a cartel. You could argue that those banks are inside the airport, whereas those at the ARL are inside the ARL station. But the operators are different as well, as far as I observed.

Assuming this is directed at me, can you quote where I did so?
