    Monday night update... Progress. I didn't sleep through club time.  But I'm home before midnight.  Hit up several of the bars I hadn't ventured into yet.  I'm going to grade on a scale tonight be

    Other random first impressions... - Wow there really are that many 7 Elevens. - Didn't need bug spray today.   - Was that a rat or a cat?  Sounds like a Dr Seuss line but holy f the rats here

This one. Holy hell is he hot to me. Jupiter was the first of these bars where I said to myself "I don't want to leave because I might miss something." ...From the Facebook posts, it looks like he might be new... I only see him in the runway videos posted this week.

He's been at Jupiter since Chinese New Year at least, which was seven months ago and is actually a lot smaller when off stage. I forget his name but I think he's from the north, possibly Tai-Yai. Few of the Jupiter guys are completely new; many have worked the circuit all over Thailand as masseurs, hosts at Thai venues, captains/bouncers at karaoke joints, pubs and discotheques. I know at least two who've been on the scene for longer than 10 years. These days, if they're new, goodlooking, Thai-speaking and can hold their drink, they'd hit the Thai host bars where the real money is and where they're aren't obliged to sleep with anybody. The ones who can also speak Chinese (usually from Chinese-minority communities in the north) tend to do especially well.

Just stunning in person. I couldn’t take my eyes off him when he was on stage. The photo doesn’t do justice. His swagger and confidence was so sexy.

There was that one stand out who just made my jaw drop.

I haven’t seen him in the flesh but based on the videos he appears to be a twink who was working in Pattaya years ago at BBB (when it was still a proper gogo bar). Back then he was very thin (underweight even) and the victim of a bad perm. He’s put on some weight and muscle, and his face has changed for the better, either from the weight gain or other reasons. Or I could be entirely mistaken and they are lookalikes, will only know for sure when I see him in person or remember what his FB name was (he was a friend of a boy I knew well who was ex Jupiter)

I was just speaking to a boy about this recently. Asgard is the big kahuna of host bars and many Silom boys have been trying their luck there. They can have up to 500 boys on stage, and rely on customers to buy stacks of drinks for them at a go. Even Chinese and Korean boys work there. Apparently a top earner once made 1.4 million baht in a night. It’s common to earn 10-30k daily but the sky is the limit. Their latest FB videos shows a boy being bought 4000 drinks and another being gifted a BMW???? I didn’t quite understand the second video so happy to be corrected but they are definitely announcing a BMW, handing him a box and a bouquet of flowers.

We both did ha ha. I think I found my fountain of youth in Bangkok. Here I’m exotic. Lol. I got pinched on the butt a couple times walking around the crowded rooms. People were definitely eyeing us up if not for the age difference the height difference lol I am about 6’3. He is about 5’3. I’m sure it was a sight to see. 😆

Being seen as 'exotic' offers one enormous advantages when you are in a foreign country.

And maybe people weren't 'eyeing you up' because of your height - they may have seen you earlier when you took a piss! 🤣🤣🤣

Your being surrounded by so many choices when it comes to 'companions' is something many of us here have experienced.

How do you choose? They are all stunning! One cock is not enough to deal with them all!

This is why I settled on just one guy - a guy who I thought was the best of the best. It made life a lot easier.

And with my guy in Bangkok, it's sex once a day in the afternoon and then I'm free to go bar hopping at night.

Another way to deal with multiple guys is to become a bottom.

Being versatile means you can still enjoy all the other guys.

The Good Boy criticism wasn't so much about the guys. It was just the overall presentation was bad. High pressure. No customers so everyone stares at you. You felt pity not turned on as they stood there emotionless and defeated. It was just a really uncomfortable experience. But yeah if time permits, I'll give 'em another try. Remember I'll be back for 2 more weeks in October. But yeah Good Boys won't be a priority.

The only 2 I can't imagine giving another try to are Tawan and Nature. I visited both twice and neither gave me the feeling the third time will be the charm.

Go there after midnight, or if you have energy, after your moonlight visit. Since goodboy open late, usually most of the customer crowd move there at around midnight, so you will have a busier bar without much pestering by mamasan.

I think the illustration would be a better fit for Freshboys. Their roster is far more curated and uniform than Goodboys which tends to have a greater diversity of body types.

For some reason the new site doesn’t allow you to edit posts now after some time has passed. I checked more videos from Jupiter with better lighting and yes it is the same twink from Pattaya. He looks better and healthier now, and I am glad for him.

I can't imagine him not looking perfect. So many guys have caught my attention for 20 minutes, but I'm still thinking about him 24 hours later. There will definitely be an encounter before I head to Ko Samui this week. He doesn't have to do a thing lol... I think if I hire him for an hour, he can just stand there like a mannequin and I'll take it from there. And probably be done in 4 minutes.

Sunday evening update...

One of those nights I am hoping I can muster up the energy to go out. Just got home from spending a day with grindr guy #1. We did breakfast at the pancake place here in Silom. Dessert happened up in my room. God damn his body is phenomenal. As usual I completed activities before him lol.

Then we took a nap which was adorable and unplanned. Woke up and did the tourist river boat. What a bargain for five bucks. Jump on and off all day with a bunch of stops at all the typical tourist places. Finally did my first temple. Not being a religious guy, the appeal for me was photography. The pic below is my new wallpaper for my cell.

We had a great Italian meal near Nana. Olive Kitchen I think it was called. Jumped back on the boat just in time for sunset and before the rain kicked in. Now I'm back at my place. Already called off plans for grindr guy #2. I legit do have a bit of a cold. He and I will get together tomorrow because grinder guy #1 is working all day.

The big question will I go out tonight? I hope so. It's 730 right now and this bed is really really comfortable.

Puts things into perspective when some people here fall off the rails if they find out you tipped 300 Baht more than the going rate

You can have a short nap. Wake up at 10pm just in time to visit Moonlight show

I’ve done the evening nap a few times, but it screws me up. Just looked at my steps. As you can tell normally a lazy ass. Doc is gonna love this data. Plus the amount of cardio I’m getting in the Airbnb itself should come for something.

Hope you are already in moonlight enjoying their show lol

We're used to seeing creepy old men with a way too young guy in his arms

O Gee, talking about me again ? Oh , no, sorry, I just noticed "way too young guy in his arms " part , that's certainly not about humble creepy old me.

They don't need to stalk you. You are hooking up with them, likely checking stamp collection , at least to a degree when you are with them, you live in the Silom area, so it's normal to think ' what that guy is doing in the evenings ? he doesn't look like one going to bed at 10.10 p.m.

I think I will stick to what Silom has to offer

Talking about all of us. lol... but it's wordy so "Gay Guides" is a better more agreeable website name.

LOL you're too much. The close call I did have today though is when Grindr guy #1 and I were snapping pics at the temple. He saw the thumbnails In my camera roll and I think he saw some pics from last night with Grindr Guy #2 at DJ Station. Oopsie. Next opportunity I had to be alone, I used the iPhone hide feature on those pics. 😆

There are no wedding bells ringing with any of these guys. They know I don't live here. They know I hope to next year. But neither of them am I having the exclusivity talk. Especially Grindr Guy #1... he barely speaks broken English. We are not soulmates. 😉 We just enjoy each other's company, have wild times in the bedroom but he's the first Japanese guy I've been with. It's funny how PDA is way off limits outside the bedroom. I have always noticed how rigid they are. I mean they blur dicks out in their porn. But it's interesting to see the switch the moment we're alone.

As for Grindr Guy #2, he's very well spoken. Marathon runner. Cute. Has a good job as well. He'd be more boyfriend potential if that was what was being sought. But he's going back to cambodia in 3 days. I'll be off to KS. So we know it is what it is. So yeah, I don't think either of these guys are wasting their time stalking me to make sure I'm faithful. Nor am I them. Just enjoying 2 twinks wanting to spend time with this old fart without my having to hit the ATM.

Just did some Google'ing on Asgard. I find the host bar concept fascinating. Being the frugal dude I am, I doubt this will be an experience I repeat. I haven't partaken yet but hope to once.

But I'm the same way. Whether it's massages or bars, Silom is just easier. So for this trip I haven't ventured out much beyond. Maybe on the 2nd leg of the trip.
