The West Side
The Boys
The Boys is a fairly big place with plenty of guys rotating through their turn on the stage quickly enough so that you arenтАЩt staring at the same one for too long. The boys are a little older here with many rough looking, sporting far too many tatoos for my taste. There was a big group of drunk women that most of the guys were focused too much on. I imaging if you are looking for more of a gay boy, you may not find it here. I found the service once inside left a little to be desired, but a good place if you like to be left alone and not continually pestered by the staff.
Dream Boys
Not much has changed at Dream Boys, except the boys themselves. Last year there were so many handsome boys to choose from, this year I was a little dissappointed. I think I dropped in on a slow day and so many of the better ones may have been off for the day. I noticed more with too many tatoos than last year. The show hasnтАЩt changed much from last year or even the year before for that matter. The drag / cabaret part of the show dragged on far too long with far too many embarrassing moments for the patrons they picked on.
Fresh Boys
The street gang outside are far too agressive and kind of freightening. It was pretty empty the night I went in (Saturday Night) and the staff never left me alone. The table and chair set up isnтАЩt as comfortable as benches (when they provide enough leg room), but the place is nice to look at. The boys are young and fresh with plenty of good looking ones in the line up, none of which had tatoos the night I was there. There is a show around 11:00, IтАЩm not sure if they do it is no one is inside. I missed it the night I was in as they told me it was at 12:00 and by the time I returned and hour or so later it was over (so they said). It would probably be a great place if there was a crowd inside.
Classic Boys
Again, sot much has changed at Classic Boys since last year. They have a pretty good show that includes a similar water tank show that they put on at Throb (Last year the Classic water show was better at Classic тАУ This year ThrobтАЩs show was better). I donтАЩt think the pyrotechnic show was a good idea with everyone so packed in and so much wood. The staff work pretty hard and do a good job looking after the crowd. The show boys are quite cute and there are plenty of fresh good looking go-go boys in the line up to choose from.
The East Side
X Boys Thailand
I prefer the guys to be a little older and so this year X Boys Thailand was my favorite. There are a few tatoos and the odd one that isnтАЩt in the greatest of shape, but the majority of the line up includes something for everyone including some fresh looking ones. The boys dance in a cage by the door and again on stage, rotating a little too fast to perhaps appreciate one that you may have your eye on. With a show as long as this, I imagine the quick rotation is necessary for each of the many guys to have their time up on stage. I went on a busy night and a quiet night and was equally impressed with the show, all be it a little long. Again, the pyrotechnic part of the show left me feeling edgy with so many people inside and limited exits. The best place to see the show is from the benches beside the cage to your left as you walk in. The benches to the side are also good, but watch out for the huge pillars that obstruct the corners. The staff are very freindly, although a little pushy for drinks and tips. They bump into each other, again obstructing your view of the show if they are hanging out in front of you. I wasnтАЩt impressed that the staff appeared to be smoking more than the patrons, but smoking is sort of my peeve.
X-Man
Related to X-Boys of Thailand. The show boys do a show upstairs and they move downstairs to do a show there. This was the only place I didnтАЩt go to yet on the Soi. IтАЩll go sometime in late April.
Fresh Beach Boys
I seem to recall this club being Boys of Bangkok last year and I wasnтАЩt really impressed with the assortment of pretty plain looking boys then. The line up looks pretty much the same, so perhaps there is a market for this sort of look. It wasnтАЩt really my thing. The boys reminded me of the mine up across the Soi (The Boys), more of a rough looking set with more tatoos that I like seeing. The show was just okay with a big cock show that wasnтАЩt really all that big. The staff pretty much left me alone inside, although one not smelling all that fresh was pestering the older chap beside me. There are benches to the left and right sides and tables on the left wall and on the floor. The stage was pretty good, bringing the show closer where everyone was seated.
Future Boys
I was impressed when I walked in for the first time and the floor boss remembered me from the year before. Not much has changed at Future Boys except for the show that has gotten much wilder from last year if you like what Bangkok is so famous for. They continue to push the envelope and so this is one show that shouldnтАЩt be missed. The boys are not as rough looking as some of the other clubs on the Soi nor are they as fresh as Fresh Boys and Classic. The seating is good (benches / bleachers), comfortable enough. The staff can be a little pushy, I had a little lady thing invite himself / herself over to sit a little too close for my liking.
As I said before, IтАЩll be back in Bangkok later to have a look at X Man and let you know how it is. IтАЩm back in Pattaya now, enjoying my favorite pub in Thailand (Sunnee Plaza Pub), a place that was packed last night for the election passover. It wasnтАЩt a dry night at Sunnee Plaza Pub last night, although they didnтАЩt play the music that I enjoy so much (70тАЩs Pop).
