@jimmie50 is moving to a small town in Cambodia without having visited the country, not knowing the language or culture, and not having any friends there other than his lover Cam. Are you saying that @jimmie50 is making a mistake?

When you put it that way...it certainly sounds like it.  LOL.  I will soon find out.  Departure date is just around the corner.  Been trying to learn a little of the language via an app on my phone.  I will do better with in person language exchange with others once there, I think.  Hoping t o meet in person with expats from online Facebook group in both Siem Reap and Battambang.  It appears I already have family anxiously awaiting my arrival...or as several on the forum might suggest...awaiting my wallet.

Next show is 3 of the dudes in towels doing a chair routine. Not bad. The entertainment is def a step above the other places I’ve been to. Lights and sound are nice. 7 customers now.

Thanks for live reporting.

I agree Banana performers have better showmanship than the bars at Patpong 2.

But not enough guys on stage.

I like the banana layout. But yeah a little too old and muscly for me. I’ll give it til 1030 to improve. 

I agree there are a couple of guys in the show who probably should consider retiring.  I am not a huge fan of drag, but do enjoy the show at Banana Bar.  If you hang around long enough for the parade of number guys on stage, there should be some twinks in that group...perhaps even the ones you spotted out and about in Banana Bar t-shirts.  Prior to Cam, I have found several there who are to my liking and even taken one off a couple of times.  None of them are actually in the show...just what I refer to as number boys who parade on stage between shows.

Eagerly waiting for @aaroninatl to rank Banana Bar in his list of bars! 🥰

Doesn't sound as though it will be very high on the list.  I was disappointed in his ranking of Hotmale, but then again, I am partial and show favoritism.  Guess why?!?   LOL.

My favouritism also means that the "Boy" bars are my top 3 bars - Freshboy, Dreamboy, Good Boy. But truthfully speaking, I used to really like Jupiter and Moonlight when I wasn't settled down.

[aaroninatl]

So I gave Banana until about 11.  A few dancers closer to the twink look did join in but yeah, none that got my juices flowing. The twink waitstaff had some promise, and I know I can off them, but the night could've been a win if they were part of the show.

I popped my head into 2 others and kept moving... Jupiter had a drag show and no guys in sight.  And Tawan... I DID see 3 guys but none that I'd reply to on Grindr.  So yeah it was a short night. I almost popped back into see the muscle twink from last night at Super A but just called it a night.  Again, don't read in to my not getting into these places. It's a Tuesday night and I wasn't horny tbh haha... have had plenty of free fun with my Grindr guy and plus I got that "massage" in this morning.  So it would've taken someone on Bieber-level to get me horned up tonight.  Not many Bieber lookalikes in BKK.

OK, the new list... getting longer.

1. Dreamboy
2. Freshboy
3. Super A
4. Goodboy
5. Banana Boy
6. Hotmale
7. Tawan
8. Natureboy

I can’t put Jupiter in there yet because all I saw was drag… and I had more than enough drag tonight at Banana.

Gotta say though the 2 guys sitting next to me who came in... we were pointing out who'd be the "if I had to pick one" of the guys on stage, and they picked the old dude.  By the end of my night at Banana tonight there were probably about a dozen or more customers.

funny thing, My first 5 most favorite bars are  not 'boy' bars - Moonlight, Hot Male, Jupiter , Banana and Tawan. It must be my lesbian thing or something

Guy may be old but his endowment still impressive

There is a really sexy older guy at Banana, I can't remember his number but he is part of the big cock show and has a massive dong. Not quite brave to take it (yet).

To which God will you pray?

[aaroninatl]

I don’t wanna say I’m already a legend or anything here in Bangkok, but they’re naming places after me. Breakfast this morning was a bacon and cheese sandwich that was phenomenal with dessert in the form of a s’mores cookie at Fat.P “the fat kids eatery.”

I'm out of reactions... but I did an actual eye roll when I read that....🙄

BTW, he said he wasn't quite brave... at least he didn't say he couldn't , he's no quitter 👍

With word that 5000 US sailors are invading Pattaya, I decided to book a room there for tomorrow night.  Sounds like it's best to head to the airport and then get a bus/van for a few bucks? I know you can do a Grab for $50 each way, but eh, would rather spend that on fun.  If there's a bus or van that leaves from Silom, that'd be great, but I have a feeling it's the airport that makes the most sense.

Did you book your room in Supertown in the Jomtien Complex?

Thanks!  I booked an Airbnb... looks like a good spot?

wow - looks like your AirBnB is in the View Talay 7 (VT7) condo building directly on the Dongtan beach.

VT7 is a popular choice for other forum members who in the past I have meet up with to give them the grand tour.

We will be neighbors.

Supertown in the Jomtien Complex is a 5 minute walk from VT7.

Several twink bars can be found in Supertown.

[bkkmfj2648]

Get off the bus at the last stop.  The first stop is North Pattaya on Sukhumvit road, the second stop is Central Pattaya on Sukhumvit, and the last stop is at the Jomtien terminal as shown on the below map.

The walk (southbound) on Thappraya Road from the bus terminal to your AirBnB is about 10 to 15 minutes.

Be careful when crossing the busy Thappraya Road (it is low season so the traffic is not so bad but crazy motorbike riders can catch up on you very quickly especially if you are tugging luggage).
