I like it. Good questionOriginally Posted by scottish-guy
Not sure why posters are bothering to get excited about this particular bar. It has always been famous as a "sticky rice" bar - Asians go there to pick up Asian guys, and the guys who work there expect to have a largely Asian clientele. If they want Caucasian customers they would work elsewhere

I wonder if Jupiter is or ever has been a "sticky rice" bar. Yes, most of the customers have been and are Asian.
But Asians do not go there to pick up Asian guys, they like the farangs, go there to see and possibly off the guys.
I have never seen Asian customers picking up other Asian customers.
Moreover, I do not think that the money boys care much about whether the customer is Asian or non-Asian. The guys care about the tip and the behavior of the customer.
Bingo! Exactly correct Werner, and I might also venture to say that "behaviour" slightly trumps "the tip" ... (although I would probably agree that 'the tip' is somewhat more important to the older guys who've been around The Scene for some years and are jaded, and roll their eyes at just one more smelly sixty-four year old farang wearing a tank top.)
Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
Jaded and haggard old prostitutes who have gone to the dogs could always cash in their chips and embark on a new career path suited to their "talents".
Moderating a gay forum for example.
I don't understand it either - when the original Jupiter 2000 was next to and owned by the Suriwongse Hotel group I stuck my head in a couple of times as I was staying in the hotel, and even then it was clear it was not aimed at Westerners - in fact I seem to remember there were hardly even any seats and consequently any visits were very short ones as this old queen likes to sit on her arse and be waited upon.

I see we have more in common than Malbec. I stayed, often, at the Suriwongse and went to the Jupiter 2000 - Glitzy, uncomfortable and more beauty pagent than working boy bar. I go to Toy Boys in Pattaya, settle in to the curved area at the end by the bar, rest my tirede ass and get waited on. I sit there comfortable with a lad or two drapped over me. I trust the manager to translate the requirements and keep me happy. If I ever go to Jupiter again it will be sight seeing not shopping.
Jupiter2002 was undoubtedly one of the most successful gogo bars in Bangkok and played to a packed house of more than 100 punters most nights for more than 15 years. And yet Scotty stuck his head around the door frame once or twice a decade or so ago and feels qualified to make disparaging comments.
How were they disparaging? He merely agreed with me - the bar has always had a reputation as a "sticky rice" bar
