Bangkok Visit - June 2026

[jamiebee]

After few months of tensions due to this US-Iran war and lots of flight cancellations, I finally got my vacation away from this shit show. 

As I am based in the UAE, I started my travel on 8th June from Dubai to Manila via Doha reaching next day 9th June. I've only stayed for 4 nights in Manila before flying to Bangkok today morning.

I booked a single night to 56 Surawong , checked in and slept the full-day and just woke up around 7pm. I just bought a few necessities and went for dinner while tomorrow I'll be moving to Raya for the rest of my stay in Bangkok.

Having my dinner now in G's with my dinner companion G's resident cat under my table.

I'll be updating my Bangkok Visit every now and then and try to upload photos if the site allows me.

I don't have anything particular planned and just going to wing it with maybe a day trip to Kanchaburi and a 2nd trip to Wat Paknam (last year it was surrounded with scaffolding) in its full glory and maybe visiting some animal cafes with cats, capybaraa, otter and heck raccoons if there is one 🤣 🤣 🤣 

Looking forward for next couple of weeks. 😋

At 11:00pm after 3 pints of Chang from the dinner in G's I've decided to go to Banana Room Club.

I've enjoyed my time in Banana Room Club, the production numbers are top notch and I was really entertained to the point I've been giving out red notes to everyone after each stage.

And somehow maybe due to a year of abstinence from alcohol, I was so enamored with one of the Khatoeys 🤣🤣🤣, so pretty 😍, and the chubby one so entertaining that I've given out tips more than I usually do.

It sucks that the guy I'm eyeing on (Jon/John was already taken by a baldy muscle guy next to me), but I stayed until their last show. 

By now I already had 3 pints of Chang from G's and 3 bottles of Singha from Banana Room, I've decided I'll see what Good boys have in store for me. Unfortunately, I never learn, none of them are my type. 

But there is one Vietnamese guy in Good boys though doesn't have the body type I'm attracted to has a great smile, I'll too tipsy to remember their number or their names by this time, I gave a red note before I left. 

After leaving Good boys at their closing time, I've decided that I had enough fun for the day and head back to my hotel.

To conclude my first day in Bangkok even though without an off, I can say that I had a lot of fun, my stressed spirit recovered and I am looking forward to have the remainder of my two weeks here.

Tomorrow, I will be moving to The Raya. 😁👍

Oh I thought you will still be here for a couple of days more, darn luck.

Initially my travels were supposed to be from end of May for two weeks too but with the geopolitical tensions at that time till now Singapore Airlines cancelled flights moving my visit few weeks later than planned.

It's a shame we didn't get to meet—I was looking forward to sharing a pint with you. No problems, there will always be next time 😁👍

Knowing you're in town on a weekend, did look out for you. No worries, catch up with you later in the year. 

[jason1975]

In fact, last night there were 6 active forum members in Patpong and soi 4 area! We could have a large group dinner if only we had known each other's travel plans. But of course I understand that not everyone feels comfortable in a big group setting. G's would not be the place for any gathering more than 4 persons. I highly recommend Happy Beer Garden upstairs area. It can accomodate up to 20 people!

Agree with the 4 person logic, as our meal on the 14th of March started off at 4, but turned into a somewhat tight 7 by the end of the evening.

However, with planning I'm quite sure G's could accommodate a long table, as opposed to the usual units of 4, ie like a traditional German Bierkeller.

Good to hear you are back in Thailand, I always enjoy your trip reports @jamiebee

I haven’t had the opportunity to visit Kanchanaburi yet, it felt just a little bit too far for a day trip so I’ve always vaguely planned to go when I had time to stay overnight in one of those floating river lodges. Interested to read your comments after you’ve been. Out of curiosity why not our forum’s old faithful, Pattaya combined with an island hop? Or did you do that last time? I seem to recall a report by you about sightseeing in Pattaya perhaps I’m mistaken

There are only 6 Viet guys working in Good Boy. Last night one didn't work. Three were offed before 10pm (I wonder who. Hmmm.) So two were left and you tipped one of them!

I think the one not working might have been having dinner at G's!

If you are going to Kanchanaburi, consider staying a full day to visit Erawan National Park with its 9 (I think it is 9) waterfalls. It is a nice little hike past all of the waterfalls to the top one. Some of the falls have little pools where you can bathe and where little fish nible at the dead skin on your feet.

I did go to Pattaya last time but as part of a group tour/sightseeing. As for Island hopping, I already had my fair share back home so not really interested haha. 

Weather was quite pleasant here compared to my last visits which normally falls on April or May. Since I came yesterday I haven't experiences rain here yet or I think I was just passed out on my bed when it did. 🤣

That's one of the plans this time 😁. Due to rain the trees are lush and the waterfalls are gushing. 

I'll also see if it's a good time to visit Ayutthaya too.

Hi @jamiebee

Welcome back to Thailand.

I have an ancient trip report, from 2015, where I documented my trip to Kanchanaburi.  Perhaps it might assist you with your planning.  I look forward to reading your perception and findings of that area - which I truly enjoyed as we also stayed in those on the river floating resorts - I truly LOVED it.

Fantastic report. Such detail and even with photographs. Despite being a decade old and unable to be enlarged (at least on my phone), they greatly enhanced the report. I skimmed to the Kanchanaburi chapter as that was of most interest to me, but will return and read the rest soon. 

Very coincidentally I was researching a trip to see the Mon bridge and village in Sangkhlaburi just this past week. It seems many people only go as far as the national park and River Kwai and stop there (perhaps due to the driving time from Bangkok). One of my regular guys recently did the land crossing to Myanmar so I rang him to ask if he remembered the impressive scenery and by any chance passed by the Mon community. “I don’t know I was sleeping” was his unimpressed answer. After a verbal tussle trying to explain to him what I meant, he conceded that he did pass by “three Wats” which is of course the Three Pagoda Pass. As you’ve mentioned in your report, the romance and dramatic history of the region may be completely lost on Thais and Burmese both, as they now prosaically think of it as just the administrative border between the two countries, slightly tedious to get to, but a necessary evil. I also asked if he was interested to join me in a visit to Sangklaburi and he said he would, but added he thought it was a long way to go just to see the same folks he could see at home! 

Edit: @bkkmfj2648 I read on to the conclusion of Pattaya. Did you ever get that Bangkok job?

I did an overnighter in a floating cabin on my 1st visit to Thailand about 20 years ago.

I felt at the time, when on the way home that I could have easily accomodated one more day.

Unfortunately no.  I was the number 1 candidate on the short list - but due to political reasons, it was awarded to a personal friend of the highest in command at the organization where I worked.  That was a very dark period during my long working career with them, as the idea to work in Bangkok was like to have a dream come true.

Update #2

The last couple of days nothing much interesting to share. Just shopping, enjoyed Guido's sausages two nights in a row 😉🤣🤣, and visiting bars I didn't had a chance to go to from my past few times I'm here like Banana Room, Jupiter, Moonlight, etc. I also didn't off anyone yet as I'm still in the rediscovery state of my return to Bangkok and I haven't prepared myself yet 🤣 🤣 🤣 

 

Sunday

I checked out from 56 Surawong and checked in to Raya by 12:00hrs. Afternoon around 13:00hrs I went to Chatuchak Weekend Market. I opt to do shopping for souvenirs at the first few of days of my trip so I won't forget the things my friends request from here. Basically, Thai beauty products for the ladies, Thailand shirts (love the ones with Thai food graphics like mango sticks rice, pad Thai, etc.) for the gents, some cute stuffed indigo elephant key chains, Cha tra mue Thai Tea and miscellaneous stuffs for the others. This is just to get over it and mark it out of my to do list. I returned to my hotel by 17:00hrs exhausted from the heat, rain and walking, I took a quick shower and slept till evening.

Woke up by 21:30hrs fixed myself up and decided to go to G's for my first German Sausage of this trip 🤣.

By 22:30hrs I headed to Jupiter.

Jupiter only has a handful of boys I may consider to off (the boys don't have numbers here to my confusion), they also don't seem to be approachable even if I wanted to give some red note tips, so didn't, I'm too shy to call em. The music too loud on where I sat by the left side of the stage with the mamasan pestering me all night. Not much people there maybe 15-20 customers during the time I was there.

I left after the show and returned to my room immediately fell asleep due to fatigue during the day.

 

Monday

I slept like a rock until 12:15 hrs and decided to go to MBK to see if they have something I was looking for. I went first for lunch in Park Silom at Kub Kao Kub Pla and ordered the sun dried pork appetizer and the fried sea bass in tamarind sauce for the main. I didn't know the sea bass is a big portion dish hahaha I forced myself to finish it anyway, tasty 😋 🤣 🤣 

I didn't find what I was looking for in MBK after roaming around the mall for a few hours.

So same as yesterday I returned from MBK by 17:00hrs and slept in my room till 21:30hrs and when to G's for dinner this time I had Guido's Austrian Cheese Sausage 😋🤣🤣 then left to visit Moonlight.

 

To Moonlight, I was here for the first show and only about 12 customers. Sat at back right side of the stage. None of Number boys are my type, as for the models I like how big and chunky Mr.Tum is 🤤.

Babe was there, but no Nicky, no Tiger and no Nut 😕. Boss is there looking cute but still too twinky for me. Only the production numbers where Mr.Tum performed are the ones I actually enjoyed. I left around 23:45 and walk towards the soi where the other boy bars are located with no predetermined bar to go to.

Fresh boys and Hot male touts are busy with their phones and only the Dreamboy tout dragged me inside for the last show of the night. Last year I enjoyed the show here so I let myself be dragged inside. This time, it's not very entertaining; the big cock show? didn't like it, the performers looks so emaciated.

There were only about 6 boys left on stage none of them is enticing. In a normal day I would off #46 the mustache/beardy guy but I don't feel him tonight. I was looking for #2 the uncle but he was already taken. I left after the show and went back to my hotel to rest, my feet were still very sore from all the walking for last couple of days of Shopping in the day time and going to the bars at night.

It seems that I accomplished my weekly steps goal in just two days hahaha 🤣

Tomorrow I plan to visit the Big Boy bar and Than Tawan bar in the evening and maybe Fresh boys and Hot male bar the next day.

After visiting all of them, I'll decide where to frequent for the rest of my trip days and starting offing the ones I like. 

Later part of my trip is also to start visiting Massage places I haven't been to like Ssense, senso, prince, history, Tcs, prestige, and others.

I don't think I can visit everything due to limited funds and I don't want to stress my self out so I'll just see which of which I'll be able to go this time around and add the rest to next years to do list.

Again, this year's Bangkok trip nothing was planned beforehand so I'll just wing it and do whatever I feel like. Heck, even the things I planned may get sacked too if I'm not in the mood hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 

That's it for now for this update!

True, I do suck when it comes to planning things and actually following it through evident from my previous visits here. I just want to have a clear picture on what I have to do, but then again I usually end up doing what I felt doing at the point in time instead. Hahaha 😂 😂 

I'll try to keep my days and things to do more easy and simple and enjoy more of the Thai sabay sabay lifestyle for the next following days, besides my left foot still feels swollen for all the walking.hahaha
