4 days @ Malaysia Hotel

Highlight of my trips to Bangkok is the Babylon complex, I love getting there by 11am, scoring a lounger in the shade by the pool, reading a mag or two, people watching, having a drink or two, chatting with random people and making regular trips to the cruise area to empty my balls.
So imagine my horror when on Monday upon arriving at Babs I discovered that the pool was closed for repairs and the place was dead quiet....what was i to do??
Initially thought about finding another gay venue with a pool and received some recommendations whch I fully i tended to explore....but 1st I spent Monday afternoon at the malaysia pool with grindr on.....wow by 3pm it was pinging away every 10 min or so with offers of sex ...at least half free.
Decided I had hit a sweet spot and basicallt spent the rest of my time lounging around the pool, eating the excellent malaysia restaurant food and arranging fuck dates in my room,,,did 7 in 4 days, only 2 were money boys.
Not even sure I will return to Babs when their pool is up and running, found it so much easier at The Malaysia and it was nice to have the use of a proper room to engage in sex.

I've never had much luck with the Malaysia hotel area. I did get lucky with a tout on the final night/morning of one of my holidays in Bangkok a few years back.

Must of the guys I have seen at the restaurant there tend to be twinks and I am interested in a more mature guy... Some would say I like rough trade... :D

That being said, I still like to hang at the restaurant from time to time just to people watch and eat.

I took one of the "rough trade" guys who used to hang around the carpark to my room about 3 years ago. He turned out to be as high as a kite and went berserk when he cut himself shaving in the bathroom. It took all my diplomatic skills to get him outside the door. For a while I thought my time was up on this earth. What worked was that I convinced him that I needed to bring him to the ATM outside the shop on the corner opposite the hotel. I was very happy to withdraw 500 baht to send him on his crazy way.

There isnt much trade, rough or otherwise hanging around Malaysia hotel anymore, not like 2 or 3 years ago when you have to wade through them. My fick dates were all at least 500 meters away, some even 5km.

I do remember when the Malaysia was in it's gay heyday about 8 years ago. Had many great times talking with the boys hanging out there and availing myself of their services.

yeah, that was fun, would easily find up to half a dozen hanging around the road side entrance or where the smoking pavilion used to be...obviously the hotel cleaned this up as it did get a little out ofhand, one could hardly walk out the hotel without being proipositioned, must have upset the straights...damn!!

goodluck trying to get booked into malaysia as they dont even reply to email bookings now so im staying at ibiz!

I've just been there...hello!!! Booked via Booking.com ....soooo easy .

To be fair, they always answer me within 24 hours. Last time was in May this year.

A friend who stays at Malaysia just told me visitors to rooms now have to be at least 20 years old (before it was 18 years).

He could hear bomb at Erawan shrine when he was in his room.

Did the earth move for him?

Several hotels favoured by gays now display notices about visitors having to be 20 years old. I dont know whether they actually enforced the rule. A good proportion of rent boys are 18 or 19. It would be rather difficult having offed an 18 year old and then not being able to take him to the room.

I guess some of the hotels are feeling some sort of pressure or fighting a whispered reputation.

I had no problem dragging 18 and 19 year old " boys" back to my room, only twice was ID requested, but maybe thats because it was during the day and the reception was busy.

thanks for pointing that out, as per my other hotels booking, looks like the way forward now is booking indirectly via other sites & that explains the sloppy service with direct email confirmation, after seceral emails trying to book malaysia only replied immediately after i cancelled! TIT!!!!

It's been a few years since I've stayed there, but I find the exact opposite to be true. I find that booking directly with the staff is much better as it allows me to select where I stay, what floor and where (down at the end of the hall so I don't hear doors slamming and tricks frolicking in the elevators). Additionally, if you check in late at the Malaysia there is a possibility that they won't hold your room for you. If you book direct, let them know when you are coming...they'll be expecting you.

You must have some kind of bad carma, I always book directly with them, and always get a mail back with Dear Mr....finished with a "wellcome to Bangkok."

My friend said two 19 year olds on the way to this room were stopped at reception and denied entry.

As far as I can tell, reception check all visitors (even me!) and there is no sneaking past in a busy moment (I tried).

Your (latintopxxx) stay must have been just before introduction of this rule.

..mmmmm...i was there only 10 days ago?!

The boys still giggle when your name comes up...and I've heard that they've had to swap in another hard old bed, as the last was beyond repair.

Excellent Malaysia restaurant food? Excellent Malaysia restaurant food?? Excellent Malaysia restaurant food??? OMG!!! Now I have heard everything!!!

Have only visited the Malaysia once - and that was maybe 8-10 yrs ago.

Was staying in the Suriwongse Hotel and the coffee shop was pretty boring so we decided to check out the Malaysia with its coffee-shop reputation.

Sad to say there was no sign of any action - but we sat at a table at a glass wall/window for a beer. We could see tables outside and there was an extremely portly guy sitting alone at a table with a drink.

For no apparent reason his glass suddenly, literally exploded - he practically shit himself (as you would).

Never got to the bottom of it and never felt the need to return.

Your post sure made me laugh Thai Dyed, but good heavens, do watch your blood pressure. I got the impression you were almost about to explode in outrage. Lol!

IтАЩve eaten at the Malaysia Hotel restaurant several times and whilst IтАЩm no connoisseur of food, IтАЩd say the food served was little more than adequate. I would definitely not categorise it as тАШexcellentтАЩ. But do bear in mind latintopxxx does have, what can I say, ah, yes, a certain reputation for hyperbole. ;)

what is this Master Chef Thailand?? I also like the food at telephone bar...so there :-*

given some of the things latintopxxx is known to have wrapped his tongue around his comment needs to be taken in context Thai Dyed - have you not heard the old joke about the mother who finds out her son was gay? she asks him "Do you let other boys put their dicks in your mouth?" and when he replies "Yes" she slaps him and says "Never complain about my cooking again!"

(I think originally it was a Jewish mother, but I don't do the accent or the vernacular well!)

There are certain things that I like there, such as the coffee, the Asian breakfast, the cut fruit, the cold beer and the fried rice. I usually only eat Thai food while in Thailand and I never eat fried rice, except at the Malaysia because the rest of the food is on the greasy side and there's much better elsewhere in Bangkok. I like the staff at the Malay Caf├й, many have been there since I first visited twenty some years ago.

The food at the Malaysia is probably the same you get around the corner (various restaurants along Ngamduplee and Sribampen) but more expensive to start with and then they add 10% service charge. I eat elsewhere.

Pool is closed for renovation Sep 3-30.

I asked at reception, minimum age for visitors 20 years has been the law for long time. There is no note posted and staff couldn't tell me when this rule was introduced. I guess it's that enforcement started last month.

No electricity at Malaysia hotel now (07.09.2015, 14:00).

The front office service at The Malaysia has always been rude and useless, they do not even have a booking system just a pile of faxes and emails on a bulldog clip. I stayed there approx. 50 times but gave it away after I visit with room with bed bugs...now prefer Ibis [across the road] much younger and cuter front office staff, or the horny Pinnacle, down the road, with its very active swimming pool, sauna and steam room.
