You might try the BB Fetish Bar at the Silom end of Patpong 2. The barker is outside every night with his Santa hat and riding crop, threatening anyone who ventures inside. Surely one of the staff there would be willing to paddle you.

Sorry to disappoint. This post is not about trouser snakes, but instead the reptilian kind. I have seen the Bangkok Snake Farm mentioned here, but only in a brief snippet without details. I visited there today, and thought and the following might be of interest for someone looking for a way to spend a couple hours in the Silom area during the daytime. I am posting this in the Gay Bangkok section. Although not specifically gay info, they do have a couple live spitting snakes (cobras) on display, so that is close enough to qualify this entry into the Gay Bangkok section of the forum. Just a very short walk from the Surawong and Rama IV intersection is the sprawling Red Cross compound. In one section, the Red Cross runs the Bangkok Snake Farm, where it has operated for over 100 years. There is a snake museum, more like a zoo, with live snakes on exhibit, a daily 30 minute snake handling demonstration, and a venomous snake milking show. The show features a king cobra, two monocled cobras, along with many others, including Thailand's deadliest snake, the banded krait. There is also a restaurant and a cafe on the grounds. The restaurant has down to earth prices, with a fresh cooked pad thai priced at 50 baht, very reasonable for a sit down restaurant in the Silom area. Admission is 200 baht (50 baht for Thais), and includes the museum and two shows mentioned above, and a photo opportunity to hold a Burmese python around your neck and shoulders, if you wish. This farm provides a valuable service, with the extracted venom being used to create medical antivenom, and distributed to hospitals throughout the country, for emergency use to treat snake bite patients. If you go, I recommend going an hour early, and have lunch or a cold drink before the show. The amphitheater seating begins filling about 30 minutes before show time. I don't recall the milking show time, but here's a photo of the snake handling show timings.

It seems that Thailand brings out repressed urges to be wild in many visitors to the Kingdom.

I never heard of that remedy. Thanks for sharing.

This article on CNN will be interesting for all you aviation enthusiasts...... I'm looking at you, @PeterRS. https://www.cnn.com/travel/what-it-was-like-concorde-pilot

Based on your recommendation of the "orgasmic pad krapow" at the Tarntawan Hotel, I decided to try it today for lunch. OMG, two bites into it, and I was breathing fire from the chilies. I agree it tastes good, but I had tears in my eyes from the heat. By the time I finished the dish, I must have looked like a mess, what with tears running down my face, and my nose running non-stop from the hellish heat. Eating this dish is similar to being pepper sprayed in the face, certainly not an orgasmic experience for me. I hightailed it to the nearest 7-Eleven to buy a yogurt, in a desperate but futile attempt to douse the persistent inferno in my head. Now a few hours later, the fire has subsided. Never dismiss the importance of specifying the spiciness level when ordering food in Thailand. Those chili pieces are devious, in the way they blend in, wrapped under a wilted holy basil leaf in the krapow sauce. And the Thais love to use both the red and green chilies in the same dish, for added intensity. The green chili pieces are absolutely sinister. Just a warning for others - this Tarntawan dish is the genuine napalm flamethrower local Thai version of pad krapow, not a tamed down tourist variety of the dish. Thanks for the recommendation, but I think I'll try something else next time.🔥

I was mistaken, the old Gaybutton site that was from 25 years ago was Gaybutton (without the word "thai"). Sorry for any confusion I caused, @PeterRS. Here's an archived screenshot from 2001. This is the old website I remember from 25 years ago.

You are correct, it was gaybuttonthai.

No, I mean 25 years. I clearly remember reading the board back in 2000 or 2001.

Gaybutton's board has been active for around 25 years. In the early days, he offered a matchmaking service on his website.

Here's a good chart that shows condom sizes frequently shown in Thai massage ads, with measurements in both centimeters and inches, and the corresponding penis circumference sizes. The measurements quoted by massage shops are the width of condoms, as shown in this chart in the condom width column.

@spoon, if you find yourself in Sukhumvit in the future, you may want to exchange money at Vasu money exchange, located at the corner of Sukhumvit Road and Soi 7/1, right near to BTS Nana Exit 1. They have been in that location for decades, and the exchange rates they offer are equivalent (within a couple satang) to X-One and the Silom Plaza Superrich branch. https://www.vasuexchange.co.th/

I got two Jupiter ads in my x.com feed a couple days ago - one ad for hiring models, and the other ad hiring server staff.

Here's their Line address and QR code. They send out messages regularly on Line, with photos of available boys. I don't believe they have a website.

In the 1990's, there were three My Way bars in Thailand. One was in Phuket, as mentioned by @mauRICE, another My Way bar was located in Bangkok, on a small soi off Rama IV, near to the Surawong intersection with Rama IV Road. The third My Way branch of the business was located in Chiang Mai, in the northern part of the city, in the Santitham area. The three bars not only shared the same name, but all three My Way bars appeared on the same business card.
