Hello gentlemen of this site! As a decades-long member of this site and its predecessor, I am coming to this forum with some specific questions that may seem basic to some. For that I apologize, and I thank you experts in advance for helping with my questions!

I am a virgin to the ways of Bangkok... I am planning a trip to BKK in March. I will be accompanied there with my beautiful Indo Muscleboy Sugar Baby... and will enjoy my time with him. He goes to BKK all the time for his other clients and for events like White Party, etc. He will "show me around" BKK when we are together, however, I will have some days there before and after his visit. I would like to visit some of the gay places that I have carefully read about on this site. I am grateful for all of your expertise and for sharing your experiences. I have taken a lot of notes.  (who knows, I may be able to visit some of these places with him-- he probably would be an interesting magnet to attract top talent to join us? I am an over 50 average caucasian American).

Here are my questions:

Gay Massage Places: I am totally into muscle so I am looking for massage places that have hunkier/muscled men. I am more interested in the body-to-body, naked, mutual touch, kissing, and HJ experiences along with some real massage. Most of the time, I am not into full anal during these experience. So-- what are the best massage places I should visit? I have seen many of the reviews of Senso, K Man, Jay Spa, Arena, and Prince Spa... these seem to be the places that would be appropriate for what I am looking for. I actually am interested in Prince Spa since although it seems more expensive, they seem to have my type of therapists.  I am not as concerned about price as I am about getting the best experience and I dont care about the location. What are your suggestions on the best of places for what I am looking for? And, how best should I communicate what I want as to the sex part of the massage? Do I just directly discuss this with the reception person? Do I discuss with my therapist? Do I need to use google translate with these men? Do I need to make a booking and be specific to those places that are mostly reservation only?

For the Gogo Bars: knowing my musclelust situation, the places that I should be visiting seem to be Atlas and maybe The One/Tawan? Let me know which places would be best for me? I think, by reading these posts, that I know how to chose a man at these places... and I am anxious to try to take some home for some hot muscle time. Any advice you can offer on how to go about doing this, I would appreciate it.

Apps: I dont use Grindr or other apps at home, and never have. But, it seems as if I can find money boys on these apps to come to my hotel. What is the best way to do this? Do I make a profile and say things in my profile like "I am generous" or something like that to alert the men that I am willing to provide a donation for their time? What kinds of things should I put in my profile, and what should I be looking for in other profiles to find out if they are offering services for a fee? Your advice is always appreciated.

Do any of the local members of this forum ever get together IRL in Bangkok? Let me know as I would love to meet some fellow travelers!  Cheers!

 

As a "decades-long member"....   you've not been paying attention.    🤪

I will be there in March , so just send  me a message when you arrive 

I love going to DJ station dance club etc 🕺🏿🕺🏿

As for Grindr no need to put "can be generous",just put your normal profile 

 

Nice another muscle type connoisseur like myself 👍👍😸

For gogo bars, the Atlas bar is currently closed and only option is Than Tawan Bar where the boys moved back to. 

Try to visit Dreamboys Bar too, I found a few boys there last time that I somehow fits in the muscular boys that I prefer.

 

Honestly, I think that you already have a good read on what you are looking for and where to find it.  Klover and History of Massages have muscle guys as well according to the pictures.  They aren’t the guaranteed places for full service that Area, Senso, etc are

I agree with Than Tawan for a selection of muscle boys.

Other forum members endorse Arena for muscle massage. I haven't been there yet, but plan to on my next visit 

For handsome and muscular model type guys, you might want to check out VCK / Chakran massage in Ari.

Can you elaborate? In 2001 to be precise I had a massage there from the most stunning looking Thai man I have ever laid eyes on. It was magical in every way. The experience was not repeated on a few subsequent visits. I haven’t been there years and the venue doesn’t get the mention that Prince, Senso and Arena does on this forum. Up to date information welcome and appreciated.

Your friend is wrong, next time tell him not only memories but also joy of planning and waiting for the next trip.

And also, over time, Vietnamese, Lao, Thai and Myanmar acquaintances who I value. It's possible they all just see me as a walking wallet but I'm fond of many of them regardless. They have added to my life since my English bf died of alcoholism 16 years ago.

Memories or mammaries?

One can't be too sure when talking about the gay farang in Jomtien Complex. As one fades, the other grows.  😏

Just because a venue doesn’t get a lot of exposure on this forum does not mean it is not worth going to. TCS Spa and Sanctuary SMS are two places that are hardly mentioned here but absolutely worth going to. There is also a new combined sauna and massage spa in Silom called «the residences» that just opened and looks promising with crossover of masseurs from «History of Massages». 

VCK has recently introduced a club premium concept that is ripe for a review also.

Fair point. I have recently been getting line feed from Fafa Spa, which has, for me, a high proportion of young sexy guys, a good  number of whom are marked as versatile.  I cannot recall any comments  on this place?

Thanks, I missed that! They have improved their line entries sincev2024, now very professional,  and each boy is marked 'T' or 'T & B'.

I have a write-up on Shamelessmack at https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/2025/02/12/onnut-is-not-that-fafa-on-the-bts-sukhumvit-line/

The visit was about 13 months ago and Fafa  was rather new then. I wrote that, located where they were, they'd need aggressive marketing to succeed. I'm glad they're doing that. 

As for quality of services, there's not much I can say since I have only made that one visit - hardly a representative sample!

Do note the shop does not have ensuite showers, as my post makes clear.

They are easy to get to, by On Nut station. I'm just wondering, as many of their boys are said to be 20, and the majority are said to be T&B, which is unusual.  So, i wondered if any members  had sampled their wares recently.
