After years of lurking I finally can join in. I will write later about the last couple days in Bangkok in that section. 

I obviously still don't know how it all works. I was in M Bar and was the only customer and they were all the boys stage just kind of standing. I don't know if I was supposed to point or what. I tried making eye contact with the one i liked, maybe he just didnt like me... Not sure if I could off them? Still learning. Trying to avoid getting too soaked, accidental booking mistake..

Will try Grindr, but do they just come to the room (Zing) or do I have to bring them through reception personally? I am full of questions. LOL

In some hotels I have known men manage to arrive at my room but I usually go outside to greet them and get them in. Zing will want to keep their id while they are there. Best they check the id is correct when they get it back. All the men in M Bar are there to be taken out in my experience. To get them from the stage either describe the man you like to a waiter or get up and touch them with a little tug or a 'would you like a drink' gesture. Pointing at people in Thailand is seen as rude and aggressive so not a good way to start. Even this week I assumed a man on stage didn't like me and I was wrong so I advise testing matters with a drink and a 200bt tip for a short chat if you don't want to proceed.

Who cares if they don't like you ,

I'm not there to be thier friend .

I hired a guy from the Airtasker app the other day ,.

a locksmith for my unit door broke 

, the price wass paid through the Airtasker app

Asian guy ( Chinese) turns up and soon as he is out of the lift the first thing he says ... "oh my parking 🅿️is extra $10 I had to find street parking 🅿️ 

There was no hello how are you etc it was my parking extra $10.

"Who gives a fuck I said .  

I said who gives a fuck ,we agreed on a quoted price , im not your lover ,im not your friend , fix the lock🔑🔐 and fuck off !

they are the service provider and im the customer, if they agree on a quoted price then I couldn't give a fuck if they like me or not !

Stayed at the Zing many times now, they are totally guest friendly. I usually come downstairs when my guest has arrived to greet them and lead them upstairs to my room. If I see the same boy again, they then usually just make their way straight to my room; they have to pass reception, but that has never been a problem.

As to M Bar, I love the place, stuffed full of baht-hungry boys. Most would be all to happy to drink with you and probably to be offed back to your room later.  As to the boys on stage, if they are performing/dancing, they will be focussed on that; some may already have customers awaiting them off-stage, but most will be all to happy to accept a drink when their turn on stage is completed.

I agree with other posters than you can always ask a waiter about a particular boy if you feel uncomfortable approaching the lad directly.

The boys can leave you alone if they think that you are happy with your own company, but break the ice with the offer of a drink or two and you will find yourself having to 'fight them off with a stick' 🤣

I think the basic off-fee is 300 baht, rising to 500 baht for their main stage boys. Tip expectations are usually 2k for Short-Time, but 1.5k can still be negotiated with some boys.

There are stage shows at 10pm and midnight, but many of the boys sleep above the bar and will linger inside, and out front for several hours after that. Many a night it has been between 2-3am before my boyfriend and I have trudged our way back to the hotel (either on our own or with a borrowed third for the night) and we have very rarely ever been the last customer to leave.
