-- Visions, if not of scaling Mt. Everest, then at least of venturing into terra incognita: the concrete jungle known as BANGKOK east of Sathorn!
'East of Suez every man is a bachelor.' - but what would happen East of Sathorn, I asked myself?
- Thoughts of hiring guides from TAT. and bearers/porters etc. from available TH .boyz flitted through my mind.
- Would the well-known 'L*n*ly Pl*n*t.' guides offer any help?

-- But having to go to the Immig'n. Bureau, Soi Suan Phlu, (aka. Sathorn 3.), for my usual 90 days. check-in, I resolved to be the intrepid and solo explorer.
- From the i'sect. Si Lom:Convent rds., ('C*L*F*RN** W*W!'. fitness cntr., Liberty Sq.. Nrest. BTS. Sala Daeng, [S2.],), walk along Convent rd., pass 'BNH.' on one's LHS. until one comes to the dual carriageway of Sathorn rd., (X-Ch. on one's LHS.),.
- Turn LEFT, (keeping X-Ch. on one's LHS.), and using the pedestrian bridge cross-over N. & S. Sathorn, descending the LEFT hand steps.
- On S. Sathorn walk against the tfc.-flow, (pass BAAN KENITRA REST'T.), on one's RHS. and after a few yds. turn RIGHT into Soi Suan Phlu, (aka. Sathorn 3.),.
- Cross-over the soi, turn RIGHT and walk along, (with the tfc.flow.), passing Sois 2 & 4. on one's LHS..
- At Suan Phlu 6 turn LEFT and walk along, (possibly an hundred or so yds.), until one will see the SS./chromium-plated initals 'GQ.' on one's RHS..
- One has arr'd.; total walking time LESS than 20mins..

-- The next even numbered soi - soi 8. - will take one to 'BABYLON SAUNA.', wch. is located beyond the 'Pedestrians only.' passage-way the soi's farther end.

I think another senior with too much time on his hands.He he.

-- Obviously I CANNOT and will not write on others' behalfs - but that having been admitted I'm glad that other seniors contribute their fair share of news & info. in the threads & topics here, without bitching, engaging in fire-fights and so on.
- Be thankful that there are 'Seniors with too much time on their hands.' who can go-out and report on their findings for the general benefit.
- May we look fwd. to reading MORE of your constructive contributions?

I'm glad to see that the Banana Club is still getting good reviews - I agree that the mamasan is incredibly welcoming, and seems very keen to get things right.

Question - does anyone know if the farang is still working there?
I hear that there are more and more Russian boys working in BKK now - can anyone confirm?

Cheers.

There was a Hungarian boy at Banana Club at one time, but he's gone back home.

Despite the persistent rumors, I have never, ever seen a Russian boy working in Bangkok. An Italian previously at V Club, a couple Moroccans and a Canadian previously at Hero, a Palestinian previously at Body Entertainment in Bangkhen -- that's about it.

I don't know of any foreigners (other than Burmese, Laos, and Cambodians -- of which there are scads) currently plying their trade anywhere in Bangkok. At least, not openly: some of the call-up escort places claim to have "men of many nationalities", and there are a couple of them advertising on craigslist and gayromeo every now and then.

HCMPP - read your comments about Ambassador for massage. I went there once (2 years ago or so, after reading about it here) and was not very impressed. You seem to have a favorable impression - can you recommend anyone? Or you just always take who is available, and have had good luck? Am just curious. Thanks.

Quote |

At Ambassasdor as I am there regularly and use the gym, I see who is around and generally rotate through the boys.

Quote |

-- Quite by chance, as one writes, I happened to meet a farang acquaintance who comes-in to BKK. once per mensem.
- He mentioned that for the last yr. or so he's had a TH. boi-friend who works in 'ANDY MAN'S MASSAGE.', in Si Lom 2/1., (BTS.: Sala Daeng, [S2.],),.
- So I enquired further?
- For a one hour's oil-massage it's 500.Bh. PLUS 1K.Bh.TIPS.; for a two hrs'. ditto it'll cost 750.Bh. PLUS 1,500.Bh...
- Facilities are reported as being quite satis.; after the massage the masseur will accompany his customer for a final shower, together!

-- I haven't visited, so the above info. is 2nd. hand.
-- Usual disclaimer. -- bibi.. --

I give Andy's Man a big thumbs down -- for both boys, facilities, and management. It has been a long time since my last visit, though, so perhaps someone can offer a more recent opinion.

Quote |

Thumbs down from me too. The rooms are rather shabby, there is no air-conditioning and the massage skills forgetable. As icon513 says, it's really a management issue - they don't seem to care.

I'm generally in total agreement about Andy's Man. I hadn't been in there in years. However, on Saturday evening, I happened by and stopped in. They now have the boys who are on offer in a glass enclosed area so it's easier to talk to the mamasan about what you want. They had a dozen or so boys working when I was there. As per usual, I told the mamasan that i wanted a big cock. She immediately pointed out the guy I wanted.

Long story short, the guy DID have a massive cock....thanks for silicone injections.

As previously mentioned, the place isnt' the cleanest you'll find. But, the air conditioner worked well, the shower was strong and hot and the guy DID shower with me, both before and after.

I guess I should also mention that the guy (nameless) WAS able to get his cock as hard as a rock and DID fuck like a champion. But, I am NOT a slut!!!

I have ended up at Andy's Man when stranded by downpours in Silom late at night.In 2006 and 2007 the experiences have been good to very good but both guys had worked at other establisments -Aqua and Albury.The choices were also ok but bearing in mind the transient nature of the scene it may be hit or miss.Wouldn't go there especially as I would Hero,but if I was horny after a night out in the area it is worth a look.Check it out and if its not for you leaving is no big deal.

The mamasans were satisfactory,in fact accurate is the word, and not pushy.The rooms have seen better days but are about the same as Hero before renovation.

A port in a storm.
