Your reply and the reply of others on this thread just demonstrates why these host bars target the local market instead of the farang market.

We are agreed.

Although, ive had heard guys from fake club do went with customer after bar closes. As with any working guys, things can happen if there is mutual attraction, physical or monetary. Perhaps, its much easier to "date" one of the guys in host bars than say random guys we found in restaurants or construction site? Hehe.

I stopped pursuing my beach chair attendance at pattaya when he is attached, sadly to a girl lol

If we are thinking about the same place, then Fake club is huge (1000 square meters) and is primarily a dance and entertainment venue for a younger crowd inspired by Korean aesthetics. Men do parade on stage and bartenders do invite you to invite some of them for drinks. The vibe is completely different from the Silom shops, with perhaps the exception of GASS. It is possible to arrange something after hours if the chemistry is right.

The basic concept may have come from Japan but if you are used to Jomtien host bars, don't go anywhere near one in Japan. The reason is twofold. First the best known Tokyo ones are in Shinjuku's Kabukicho district where they are virtually all for young girls. More importantly, you'll need several credit cards and thousands in the bank - of $$ not ¥! The whole point of these bars is not to get close to a girl outside the confines of the bar and not to have sex with the customers - although both occasionally happen. The aim is to develop a relationshp with a girl who will come back to spend time and oodles of cash on booze with you as often as possible. As a host on one youtube video says "These bars are creating Disneyland for customers and they end up believing they need to revolve their whole lives around this Disneyland."

This vdo below has been included in these columns before. So it is slightly out of date. It features the No. 1 host in Japan about 7 years ago, but the principle is exactly the same today. The video starts off with the host arriving at his bar in a new white Lamborghini, a present from a customer. Cost? Probably around US$370,000! He makes tons of cash every month from commissions on the huge mark-ups on premium booze. One 19-year old girl who technically cannot drink alcohol in Japan gladly tells the camera that the most expensive bottle of booze she bought in the bar was a Magnum Decanter of Louis XIII Cognac. For this she paid US$110 - in cash!

That seems very cheap for a host bar!

Havent seen oasis social media yet, would love to see those video. And im pretty sure those jupiter guys will go with customers after bad closes? Hehe

If you search Oasis Ent Club on any of the social media platforms you will find it. TikTok has more videos.

Here are the videos with Jupiter guys. I’m sure you will recognise them. I’ve never actually seen guys go shirtless like this in any other host bars, they’re usually all dressed up.  I can understand why they try their luck, it does seem alot more fun for the boys than a regular Patpong bar with mediocre entertainment and mostly foreigners.

As mentioned the vdo was made some years ago. But in ¥ terms, given the devaluation of the curency it is probably no more expensive now. You could always try it and see! 😵

These guys make their money drinking with the clients which is actually less healthy than sex work.  At least sex workers can take PREP and use condoms.

Same here.  If none of the hosts are able to be taken off for some fun, then it doesn't interest me all that much.  Cannot see the value of paying money just to have someone sit with me for a drink.  Just my take on the situation.  

You must be one ugly MF having to pay for it all the time considering you said you were in your 30's

Bearing in mind the current  price is between £7,000 and 9,000, $9,000 to 11,000, that  still  makes no sense!

First, rude

Second it has been attributed to Hugh Grant “I don’t paybforvsex, I pay them to go away after words.

Third I had lots o offers for free on the apps in Bangkok.  I happilypayed to have the experience I wanted with the one I wanted and when I wanted it.   I felt I got a good value for money.  Especially in cases where I got to live a fantasy I’d been having.
 

Fourth  I was in my 30s first trip to Bangkok could have all the sex I wanted at Babalon.  Still Payed mor massages for same reasons above.

Finally I’ve been judged enoph in my life that I try not to do the same to others.  We all have reasons we do what we do.  Even if we have others scratching their heads.  Just as long as we aren’t leaving others worse than we found them and hopefully better.

I remember it from Charlie Sheen, but knew it was older than that, from Google:

 While Sheen popularized the phrase in modern pop culture, he has sometimes credited the sentiment to legendary actor Cary Grant, who reportedly once said, "You pay a prostitute to leave when you're finished".
