-- Today, Christmas Day, morning I walked past the ent'ce. to the TAWAN CLUB - Soi Than Tawan, off Suriwong rd. and noted that the posted price of drinks is now 350.oo.Bh.! (let's write that that's approx. GBP.07.oo. or USD.11.40.),
- Worth visiting at that price? "Je m'en doute.".

Or put it another way, I guess your expecting that the working boys should be ultra positive / super smiling, every minute of every day - smile / happy robots. Grow up, ever heard of human rights???

I watched the show on 21 Nov 2012 after a long absence. The shows were not bad during a weekday where the crowds are lesser than the weekends.

There were 4 segments to the show:

1. Whipping and candle torment segment.

The guys are hit with whips and also they use candles dripping with wax on their body. The cocks are shown in full view without any underwear on.

2. Masturbating segment.

Only one guy is sitting on a chair while watching a porn magazine and masturbating. Eventually he climaxed on stage fully naked. The other two guys were engage in fake cock sucking show.

This is in pale comparison with the ten boys who were masturbating at the same time more than one year ago.

3. Bodybuilding segment.

Four of the best muscular guys were seen doing bodybuilding poses with their cock head jutting out of their underwear. One of the guys was 'superman' but he didn't let his cock jut out ie. his cock was fully covered inside his underwear. The other guy was #32 who let his cock jut out.

4. Dancing segment.

Two very muscular guys including #32 were seen dancing sexily on stage with their cock head jutting out of their underwear. One of them even danced fully naked without any underwear. #32 was also cocked sucked at the end of the segment.

5. No ladyboy segment.

In the past, they will inject a ladyboy singing and dancing segment but I am glad they decided to remove it. I am glad they realise that customers come in to see the bodybuilders and not the ladyboys.

The drinks have increased from 250 baht to 300 baht.

To take out a boy, you have to pay the following.

1. Bar fine of 500 baht

2. Massage room next door of 500 baht if you are not going to your own hotel.

3. Boy tips of 2000 baht which usually don't include fucking the boy and perform sucking with condom on. They expect the sex session to last around half an hour only.

300 / 350 for a drink, 500 off, 2,000 for max. of 30 minutes sex, suck with condom, no fucking. Very hit and miss, plus with many Tawan boys you need to cope with their arrogance.

The last time I paid off at this bar (many years ago) the discussion with the boy inside the bar was pleasant enough, he did insist on knowing what tip I would pay and I am generous to working boys who are pleasant and provide what has been discussed in advance. But when we stepped out of the door the attitude kicked in, I asked him to walk to Suriwongse hotel, response: "too far away, I want a taxi and 500 Baht extra because it wastes too much of my time".
I said bye bye and walked away alone.

It's too bad because 15 years ago, in their original location on Suriwongse Road I took many pleasant and responsive young men who tried hard to please and with no attitude. In those days half or more of the staff were masculine young men with nice bodies but not muscleboys.

The owner was the cashier and short change was standard routine.

But of course each to his own.

For folks who go to China, try some of the many many massage venues in Shanghai, Shenzen, Guangchou, Beijing and many many more locations. Most venues have somebody who can speak good / enough English, usually good service, many venues have a range of twinkies to well built (i've never seen full muscle men in any of these venues, however I'm sure that's available if you can find the right contact, as in any country), what is promised is always delivered, at least the experiences I've had, reasonable prices, and cheap compared to Tawan.

Just confirms why, in Thailand, I patronize massage parlours, with some discussion with the captains I trust. If there is nobody who takes my eye and can and is quite willing to provide what I want, I pleasantly decline and leave, there's always tomorrow.

Xfun,

Tawan boys are only good for eye candy and most of the big bodybuilders have an attitude problem.

I tried to off a bodybuilder but he wouldn't accept 1500 baht just for mutual handjobs and one hour of cuddling/play. That doesn't even include 'suck with condom'.

It feels so frustrating that everything has to be rushed to half an hour.

The bodybuilder I talked to just moved away to another place when I told him I wanted to have slightly more than one hour of foreplay/cuddling.

I guess there a lot of rich farangs that offered them more money for less time.

While I feel 2000 baht for 30 mins is expensive, on what basis are you expecting them to accept lower payment?

If you go to a restaurant and tell them instead of paying 2000 baht for a 6 course meal, you want to pay 1500 baht for 10 courses and they can leave out some ingredients, do you even think they will bother with you?

You're not a big spender or a regular - what the hell do you even have to negotiate with?

Just because you're not willing to pay does not mean it is bad attitude to reject.

Some of you need reality checks on where you stand.

Hi guys. I'm a Pattaya devotee but having read a few of these threads I think I will spend a couple of nights in Bkk before heading to the seaside, during my February trip.
The thread which attracted me most was this one about Tawan and its bodybuilders. I'm attracted to offing a heavily muscled guy as a contrast to the fem twinks I fuck in Pats.
I would however want more action than mutual masturbation and play. I would have in mind being topped while he was with me overnight.
Would this be possible and if so what tip would I be giving him ?

Lastly what would be a suitable gay friendly hotel in the vicinity of Tawan.

Quote |

Hi, Dave. Not an issue that Tawan guy top you.

Overnight, would be 2500-3000THB besides mutual masturbation.

What's your idea of a suitable hotel?

Upscale gay-friendly hotel: le meridien bangkok.

Or for more local flava, try the Tantarwan, Glitz, or the Rose.

Well sort of depends on whether the 6 course meal was really worth 2,000Baht in the first place.

They currently get away with over inflated tips for limited service, mostly because they are put up on some sort of depestal by many farang (Singaporeans, Japanese, etc., also) who worship muscle and pay big tips for limited service (and let's remeber they are mostly str8 boys (like in every bar) who don't really want to have gay sexual activity if they can avoid it).

Personally I like just nicely defined bodies and big muscle doesn't interest me at all, but some do and that's their choice.

I have one acquaintenance lives between Pattaya, Bkk, and Europe, very very wealthy man who takes muscle boys home just to touch and fondle their arms and chest and legs. Sex activity of any type is not on his agenda with the muscle boys. For sex he likes very hairy older western men).

If muscle fondling with no sex makes him happy then that's his choice, no questions asked, and he does give muscle boys very large tips (one hour visit = 5,000Baht), expensive mobile phones, motor cycles etc., for fondling)

He lived for many years in Europe and did the same thing there, he found several muscle men who were very willimg to visit his house for an hour or so and have their arms, chest and legs fondled for big cash.

So, the not so well heeled customer at Tawan probably can't afford the over inflated tips and that the way it is. And it's not likely to change.

So this begs the question for the not so well heeled, whether to pay over inflated tips and go broke, or try to negotiate the over inflated tip down (not a good idea at all), or just look.

This partly reminds me of a guy from Utah, now deceased, perhaps 10 or 12 years back about 50 yrs old from severe diabeties. He had a quite limited income, he discovered gay commercial Thailand perhaps 10 years before he passed away.

First it was a yearly visit, then twice yearly, then as he became more ill, several times per year.

The last several trips he arrived with very very limited funds in his pocket and he waited outside of bars and picked up bar boys as they were leaving work, convinced them to go back to his cheap hotel and stay all night. Next morning 200Baht tip.

To some extend he bragged about this to other farang that he met.

The other farangs listening to all of this usually gave him severe negatives. His response - 'the boys must understand that I have a very limited budget and therefore they should accept small tips'.

Eventually he got bashed just up the road from the Malaysia hotel and was taken to a Bangkok hospital ICU unit. They quickly contacted his embassy who got relatives at home to pay his ICU bill and get his air ticket changed to get him home quickly (he had totally depleted his funds in gay 'entertainment').

He died a couple of days after returning home to Utah.

Ain't easy being sleazy!

How much is a 2 hour room rent in le meridien and the rest of these hotels you recommend ?

What a sad story. Tips only 200 baht for the whole night ? Didn't the boy bash the guy ?

I think a lot of forummers here think that all forummers here are European/Americans. You must understand that European/Americans have very strong currency so 2000 baht to 5000 baht is chicken feed to them as it is around 100 USD or so. Morever, their median monthly salary is high.

However, we asians who have much lower exchange rate feel the pinch of paying 2000 baht just for half an hour.

Even the median daily salary rate in Thailand is only 40-50 baht (Correct me if I am wrong). So 2000 baht is about 50 times the daily rate.

The rich farang do spoil the market. (and maybe japs)

Quote |

The daily minimum wage is now 300 baht. Not sure why that's important, though, as sex work is not minimum wage work anywhere in the world.

I also think it's ridiculous to blame farangs for driving prices up, when it's the Asians (Japanese, in particular) who are best known for tipping big and demanding little in return.

If you want cheap sex, there's always Sanam Luang.

Quote |

This incident is a long time ago, from my memory the working boy who had been cheated (paid 200Baht) gathered some other freelancers in the Malaysia hotel lobby, followed the farang a couple of hundred metres or something similar and they bashed him.

I wish they'd invited me to join.
