A recent trip to Bangkok yielded the following impressions:
X-Size – There are many boys here but I will never return to this bar. They systematically rip off their own customers. I paid my bill with a 1000 baht note and noticed that the change was short by one hundred Baht. When challenged they revealed that the 100 baht was broken up in 20 baht notes, folded up, and tugged inside the pocket in the bill fold. Obviously they are hoping that you would not notice and just leave the 100 baht as extra tip, on top of whatever tip you have already decided to give. Other places also try to enhance tipping by providing part of the change in coins instead of bills, but what they did here is egregious and beyond the pale.
X-Boys – Entered when the show began at 10:30 pm. Like most places, the show was rather unimaginative with mostly lip sync performances by transvestites. There was a f--king show although there is nothing new here.
Tawan – There were more sumo wrestlers than body builders, mostly over 30 years of age. Some look to be over 35 and d some over 35 and quite unattractive, with only a couple of exceptions.
Banana massage – There were fewer than 10 boys and most of them are not interesting to me. Even though Banana has a reputation of having smaller, young gay boys, they didn’t look any different from boys in most other places. However, all the boys are gay and that is the distinguishing point. The very helpful Singaporean mamasen told me that the nearby Body Club is changing to a place with women doing the massage. I didn’t check this out myself however.
