 He was going to apply to join Jupiter and work after X-Boys closes next week. We go outside for smoke break. P speaks to owner and mamasan. Seems like he got the job due to his handsome face. But mamasan said he must work out to get body in shape. P smiles sheepishly. 

Thanks for recruiting? P to Jupiter.

Lately there was a severe shortage of boys particularly show boys in Jupiter and mamasan and owner sometimes had to make a emergency call to show boy such as Arm on off duty day asking to come to do the shows.

 

I hope P can dance.

Him being a Thai helps too in terms of avoiding absence penalty of 500 baht a day. Ex Jupiter Cambodian boy who left recently and move to Freshboy told me that he does visa run every two weeks so he had to take days off and pay penalties to Jupiter.

Well, he does shower show at X-Boys so i doubt he will have any problem with the slow numbers.

I foresee myself placing a 1000 baht garland on him when I am in Bangkok again in December. That’s provided he’s able to stay on in Jupiter. I hope when I am there, I don’t have to compete against female customers for him! Other nights they can have him but I want him when I am in Bangkok!

Thanks for the great reports, Jason. I'm glad you are enjoying the final days of soi twilight.

As the years went by I spent less time in the soi, but it's a real shock to think it's now gone forever. So many happy memories!

I think you will be truly sad when Golden Cock closes! But I doubt anyone wants to develop that Soi!

Jason, I always admire your rapport with the boys and nice little touches of generosity, like taking them to venues they are comfortable in for pool and music, or thoughtfully buying work shoes for your regular. Thanks for the great report...enjoying it.

Thanks, Hank. I just somehow managed to click with some of the boys better than others and I am happy to help these “godsons”. Love it when I see them happy.

But of course, sometimes they do try their luck. I have a pretty powerful JBL Bluetooth speaker to play music in room. Y, Z and P all asked about it and whether I could give them one so that they have music in their own rooms as well. They even offered to buy it from me (using the money i’m giving them!)

“Let me think about it,” I said. Got it in Singapore at equivalent of 2400 baht at a sale. I just saw it at Siam Paragon for 3990 baht!

Well this would make a nice special occasion gift if you can get it cheaper back home, it’s not inexpensive but not a huge amount either.

Very good to hear P will be joining Jupiter. It must have boosted his appeal to owner to see him invited in as a guest by a customer, suggests that he has potential to be a popular boy.

How do you request for a garland at Jupiter? Only curious, I don’t plan to do so because the last time I showed extra generosity at Jupiter, I found mamasans and boys descending upon me with outstretched palms.

I think we probably have to tell mamasan if we want to present a money garland. I shall know in December!

You just give the money for the garland to mamasan with 100-200 tip. They would staple baht notes together and present it to your favourite boy. Unless of course you want to present it by yourself with a kiss. lol

No thanks  I’d prefer a private grope

I think you can simply hang garland on the boy's neck  without applying for permission to any authorities, hung or not

Yes but mamasans control the staplers!

Vinapu,

It’s a matter of logistics rather than applying for mamasans permission.

In order to do DIY garland.

1. You buy stapler at nearby “ All 60 baht shop”

2. You arrange baht notes evenly and staple together at your hotel before you go out.

3. You got to smuggle the garland discreetly into the bar and hide it if the boy sit with you in order to surprise him later.

4. If you are sitting far away from the stage, you need to run to present it as soon as the boy appears on the stage.

 

I decided it’s a too much hassle so let mamasan do the dirty work.  LOL

We could never out bid the Chinese lady anyway.

Sorry to hijack Jason, just too much fun!

Thanks for your reports...they are enjoyable and informative.  

Enjoy the remainder of your visit and rest up for your next visit.

was originally kinda hoping to see you and paulsf tonight at Maxis, but that of course turned out to be impossible.

Soi Twilight tonight:

Deader than dead lol. Though the two guys in the pic chatted me up as I took these pictures and the right hand (weed smoking) one was quick to ask me if I wanted boy massage LOL. Like that was something special and hard to find in the general Silom/Surawong area haha.

I didn't realize how far the redevelopment has already taken it's toll, with the steel construction fence up to the left of Fresh Boys, which was Bonny Massage, right? Bangkok Massage still intact though

[jason1975]

Andy, I didn’t read forum last night otherwise I would have met you! I was in nearby Raya but then, I was occupied with boy in room. Haha!

Day 5

woke up, had breakfast then back to hotel room to rest. weather outside is hot. In afternoon, went to Baan Tewa for massage with regular guy. Same excellent service. Showered together after massage. When I came down to reception, there were 2 young Chinese customers. Both of them were there for first time. The main guy was asking questions in English, “Pay now or pay after massage? Minimum tip give now or give to boy?” Then the massage boys lined up (6 of them including my guy who just finished with me). China guy told his friend in Chinese, “Point to who you like”. They chose two boys - not my regular guy though. After I finished wearing my shoes, I cut across and passed him my customary 2,000 baht tip but folded. Thinking back, I should have given my tip openly just to see the reactions of the Chinese customers. Anyway, I am happy for Baan Tewa that they have Chinese customers. It means that they have been receiving good word of mouth in the Chinese forums. More business for them and their boys. Baan Tewa is my favourite niche massage shop and it’s thanks to Divine Madman’s recommendation years ago.

[jason1975]

After Baan Tewa, I walked back to hotel.

The moment I got back into my hotel room, I received separate Line messages from Y and Z asking if I would like to meet tonight. Yes, of course! I told them drinks in my room and even asked if they wanted to be together. Y said he preferred seeing me alone so I said ok. I ended up seeing Y from 8.30pm to 10pm then I saw Z from 10pm to midnight. The timings suited everyone. Z had just come back from overnight visa run and he didn’t sleep much on the minibus so he slept back at his room until time to meet me.

We just lounged in the hotel room, chatting, listening to Vietnamese songs on my Ipad and Bluetooth speaker and drinking (I still had that bottle of Johnnie Walker from previous night at Jupiter and of course I bought some beer from Family Mart before 6pm). Quite interesting to get to know both of them better. There was news of a road accident on Saturday morning where 10 people going on visa run were killed - 5 Laos and 5 Vietnamese. No mention in the news of their occupations. Both Y and Z were sad. They have long term plans. Once they have earned and saved up enough money, they will return permanently to Vietnam. I consider it my pleasure to have known them, especially for Y whom I have known for 3 years now. I hope to see them again sooner rather than later but due to my busy work schedule, it looks like I must wait till December.

Oh yes I loved that place. I found it on my own tho, never seen any recommendation about this place. I had good massage and teases there.

just teases? Thought this was more of a full service shop..
