 I know many here really like Freshboys.  The show is okay and they have many attractive young men...I am just not a few fan of the big spenders monopolizing the guys for drinks the entire time but then never offing anyone.  I also don't understand why the guys would prefer to spend time sitting with someone in the bar for drinks knowing it will not lead to an off and miss the opportunity to go with someone for more money.  

It is low season now so very few offs. Sitting with big spending customers for drinks and tips is better than no offs.

and from neither targeted bar as possibilities  in Silom abound so you may be enticed  to some other bar. Just keep your eyes wide opened and be free of any pre-conceived ideas

Never said I'm going to camp out at the same 1 or 2 every night of the trip.

Once you settle on a few regulars, you don't have to go inside the bars anymore. You can get the contacts of the guys and can make arrangement for them to meet you.

Ahh good to know. I guess I'm used to the American strip club model... it's actually usually enjoyable to spend time inside... well usually.

Oh I'm definitely willing to improvise.  I'm still hoping to find a vet like one of you guys that'll let me tag along while I learn the ropes.  But I'm sure within a week or so I'll be up on on all the slang and strategy.  This trip was originally more for seeing if this part of the world is someplace I'd like to semi-retire to for a couple years.  I knew there was this scene, but it wasn't the motive for the trip like my trips to Montreal, South America, Europe or Ft Lauderdale usually are.  But yeah I'm excited to dive in and have some fun next week.  I've been reading countless trip reports and am somehow excited for my first late night meal at Foodland.

The first term that took some getting used to was "offing" someone.  Too many mafia movies I guess.  I was like that's pretty brazen to brag about doing something like that in a public forum.

Yes, in the mafia world context, "off" would mean to terminate that person.

In Thai boy bars, customers off boys.  In Thai lady bars, customers barfine ladies.

But the mamasans and guys don't actually say the word "off fee". They say you have to pay the bar 500 baht (most bars) then the guy can go out of the bar with you.
