I've been checking the photos recently looking for an individual who I haven't seen recently. Photos are added and/or deleted at least a couple of times a week. Not sure where you got the information that it is "months out of date."

Still can't find the one I was hoping would reappear, but a few alternates have been newly added. Of course I know there's no guarantee they'll be available when I visit in a couple of weeks, but it's always nice to have a few faces to look for even if someone better distracts me once I get to the bar.

I did notice that quite a few of the newly posted "boys" are 30 or over ... or at least that's the age they admit to. Stress on the economy is showing itself in strange places.

-- Last night, (12th.), my elderly & American acquaintance - having been told that its bold/exciting show would start at 23.hrs. - visited SCREWBOYS in Phat Pong 2..
- Fairly full; about half of the spectators were a 50:50mix of Jp. & Th. ladies - many of whom were smoking ciggies..
- The R&F. boyz were the usual run-of-the-mill, and the dancing boyz were not the types to carry-off successfully the wearing of leather.
- The show started sometime after 23.30.hrs. and consisted of an hefty Top, (whom my friend thought that he might have seen before, possibly in TAWAN BAR?), with 2 other assistants standing-by, and a Bottom - nothing really special about that act.
- The background music was loud, but not as loud as in many another bar.

Hotmale - plenty of hd c..k on display, overall show average, f..king show just a couple - top with nice body - they seemed to have some chemistry for once lots of kissing and affection rather than the normal hard bonk - 6/10
Future Boys - Don't bother all rather lacklustre with an insipid f..king show with 2 guys - 3/10
Classic - its not their fault its mine - its a waste of time and I should know that by now 1/10
X Size - plenty of hd c..k on display and 4 in f...king show all with reasonable bodies 6/10
Boys BKK - great show Saturday -lasted 1hr 20 mins with a short 10 minutes interval to display the gogo boys- love the BBB airline routine - slapstick is alive and well and much laughter. Normal hd c..k parade - finished with 3 on to 1 f..king show - Well worth the 260 baht drink price 9/10

-- Recently a correspondent in
:: Trevvy / SGBOY :: Lifestyle. Community. Me. (Gay Singapore Malaysia Hong Kong Thailand Australia)
visited BKK.; for brevity's sake I have edited his comments on the Bar scene -

1.- X-BOYS: Don't waste time. Rating O/5.;
2.- FUTUREBOYS: Most explicit bold show. Boys younger looking than in other a go-go bars. 1.5/5.;
3.- TAWAN BAR: Shows more towards S&M with full dick and bold show. Recommended for variety and no pretence. 4/5.;
4.- JUPITER 2OO2: Dance & choreography quite good. Boys of higher standard than most other bars. 4/5.;
5.- DREAMBOYS: Most number of boyz & many eye-candies. Decent show with plenty of dicks. Bar to visit if visiting time is limited. 4.5/5.;
6.- FRESH BEACH BOYS: Boys are average. After the Big Cock Show boys will walk amongst spectators and allow them to feel. If only they had better looking guys. 3/5..

Keep those reviews coming. I live in Bangkok and have only been out bar-hopping once this year. Too many regulars showing up at my door, so the urge to go out and seek more isn't as great as it used to be. Nevertheless, one of my fellows is going into the army next week and I feel there will be a ... void in my life. So, I'm ready to go out hunting again. I just hope there the pickings are better than the last few times I went out on the town. I can see the Patpong area is covered, but has anyone been out to Saphan Khwai recently? Not that I expect much, but just wondering if there are any signs of life out there these days.

"Hunting" is the right word. I ventured north to Bangkok last week and found the "pickings" indeed slim. Actually the boys on offer at the message venue (and those I saw standing outside a few other massage venues) looked far more inviting than anything I saw on Soi Twilight.

I don't hit the bars that often, but I can't remember ever having to visit more than a couple of bars before finding at least one or two boys who kept my attention riveted. This time it took a good deal more hunting.

I think it was Icon who suggested that some of the better boys were gravitating to the massage places because it provided a safer environment and a slightly more reliable prospect of better money.

I hope things will pick up with the return of the high season. Or maybe instead of getting a massage in the afternoon and hitting the bars at night it will be better to just get several massages.

Let us know if you find anything noteworthy away from Surawong.

Buzzard - Saphan Khwai is now all karaoke bars except for Be High with a handful of gogo boys. I made a "research visit" half a year ago and blogged about it here.

Kaojai - I have the same observation about trends. The gogo boys are getting older (and still in the business) and looks-wise, more and more like street toughs. Service quality after being off'd has been on the decline for years. Yet bar prices and expectations of tip quantum have remorselessly increased.

Where in previous visits to Bangkok, I used to visit at least one gogo bar a night (two bars if the night before I didn't visit), in recent years, I have been stepping into the Soi Pratuchai area maybe just once in 4 nights. The last visit, I didn't off a gogo boy at all - some kind of record for me.

Instead, I have been increasing my visits to massage places. Sure, they're hit and miss too, but I reckon that even if things don't turn out fantastic in a massage, they don't get as dreadful as a bad bar experience. At least I don't hassled by mamasans or threatened by the boys in my own room for tipping less than 2000 baht after 45 minutes of non-performance.
