Last night I set out to explore a few Bangkok bars that I missed on my earlier tours this year with a few repeats of some better ones. One club that I missed on the first go was X Man a go-go, upstairs from X Boys Thailand. Well, it wasn't to be as X Man is closed for renovations. On the plus side though, they compressed the talent from upstairs into the downstairs club so you can see the best of the best at X Boys Thailand. This includes the traveling dance troupe that performs two numbers instead of one at each club.
I did however make it in to the Jupiter club. Friends tell me that they put on a pretty good show at Jupiter, but it didn't look like there was a show scheduled last night (unless it was very late). If you know the Duangthawee or Boys Soi staff that works the street you'll know that they push the envelope when it comes to virtually dragging you in to this club or that. I walked by two boys dressed in Hawaiian shirts and standing on the corner of Suriwong realizing only upon leaving that they worked for Jupiter. There are a few more outside of the club, who also arenтАЩt pushy (where else would I be going by this point :)
The club is a two level affair with a fairly large stage that extends to both levels. There are opening in the wall that the boys appear from and rotate between from behind. The boys begin their rapid rotation (non dancing last night / only posing) from the upper left and continuing down to the stage at bar level. All of the boys that I saw had nice defined bodies, very masculine looking and rather handsome. The service on the floor was quick and snappy without any pressure or pestering. I think for the serious bar goers that are looking for this type of man that this would be the sensible choice.
After that I went around the corner to Teamboy on Suriwong. The boys on the street werenтАЩt too pushy here and were rather welcoming. You have to walk through a small cocktail lounge on street level to get to the stairs that take you up to the bar. When I arrived the only other customer in the bar was just leaving. IтАЩm not sure why but I had this strange feeling that I had been here before, perhaps many years ago when it was something else. The army of staff in red is all over you when you arrive. I saw a few customers that arrived after I did and left right away, looking more than overwhelmed by the barrage. The host sat with me the whole time and told me he could tell me anything about any of the boys. He told me that he picks the boys himself and interviews each one about everything before they start work. When I asked him a question about one handsome boy, he told me that the boy only started work 4 days ago. When I pressed him further about the boy, he told me that he didnтАЩt know and that I could sit with the boy and ask him myself. Then I asked him if there is anything he knew about the boy beside the fact that he just started work and he told me that the boy couldnтАЩt speak hardly any English. When I asked the host how long he worked at this club he told me 12 years. I told him that the club looked familiar, like how I remembered the Barbiery many years ago. He told me that indeed it was the Barbiery when he first started working there. Later that night the host at X Boys told me that Teamboys wasnтАЩt the Barbiery and that Dreamboys is in that location now. The configuration of Dreamboys doesnтАЩt match how I recall the Barbiery and I would bet on Teamboys, but I donтАЩt know. Never the less there are a few nice looking boys at Teamboys, but there is too many staff and some (including some of the go-go boys) are too pushy. I would rather pick the boy that I sit with, rather than have someone sit uninvited.
I dropped into Classic Boys to catch the show and was pleasantly surprised to find a totally different and quite entertaining show. There were many new faces that I hadnтАЩt seen only weeks ago as well that looked quite attractive.
There are still a few more clubs / bars in the area that I havenтАЩt been yet and hope to explore before the week is over. There are also a few that are worthy of some additional visits including X Boys Thailand where my current boy special dances.
