apparently that 200 is only paid  that evening if boy doesn't get subsequent off. If he is offed , then 200 bonus doesn't apply. That way bar ensures they have money for food even in slow periods.

All the more reason that the popular ones wont show up early. On the other hands, that could be a good thing for those early comer who isnt as popular, less competition from popular boys, so higher chance to get off? Lol

My point is i wonder if the bar should make it the other way around. Would it make a different? Gaining 200 baht, vs losing 200 baht. It would be interesting to see if it yield different results.

Jupiter fines 100 baht and the boys make a real effort to get there on time. Vs earning 200 baht to arrive early. Seems to prove a stick is more effective than a carrot. At least where boys are concerned.

There is also another rule. Guys who don't get offed in one night are allowed to take the following night off from work if they wish to.

I did not understand this at all. “You are not popular / did not make us any money tonight, therefore please don’t come to work tomorrow” ??

Will just put this here as it dose not need its own topic.

Jupiter on a Thursday night bar less than half full at 10.30pm show delayed to 10.45pm when bar was about half full.  Stayed at about half capacity the entire night.  mix about 70/30 men vs women.

20 boys or so tonight.

1st parade in white briefs, 2nd in black briefs and third in long pants only 3 had numbers visible.

I think more nudity than in the past but more regular visitors will need to confirm that.

Biggest effort made through whole night was to ensure that any bottle opened was consumed by the end of the night.

Not sure how many offs occured.

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.

Interesting to know why ads are being put out now at the start of the high season and I hope regulars may be prepared to comment.

Might it be because staff have migrated to other bars? Are staff leaving the business altogether?

I speculate that the visas of some of the boys have expired. Due to the hassle and uncertainty with renewing their visas via a border run, they probably decided to go back for the rest of this year and they will only return in 2026.

I know that at Freshboys, only half the usual number of boys turned up for work on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Another reason is there is never enough guys available in bars during high season. They need enough boys in bar to keep customers entertained, while most popular boys being offed, some even few days in a row. They are probably looking for any taker who wants to cash in during peak season

Cambodians make up the largest contingent of Jupiter's boys, by far. So it's hardly surprising that they may be short of numbers at the moment. Some would probably be, effectively, trapped on the other side at the moment and others might have chosen to go home to be with their families amidst the ongoing conflict.Lots of Cambodians have left Thailand, generally. You can expect the same thing to have played-out at Jupiter.

Apparently, further south, the Jomtien Complex has seen the number of Cambodian working there drop noticeably. The silver lining is that it has led to a growing number of Thai boys returning to work there. Hopefully we will see the same thing at Jupiter. Hopefully we will see that across Patpong.

Their daily catwalk was full today; I suspect they were using old reels. Quite a few of the guys in the line up were Tai-Yai/Shan from Myanmar and have been in the business for a very long time.
