Gay Clubs In Bangkok?

[bangsecks]

I finally went to DJ Station even though I hate clubs and I can't dance. It's also the first time I've been to a gay club or bar and needless to say that I really liked it and even wanted to try to dance when they started taking their shirts off. But my first time there and I see someone who I had thing with not long ago who I don't want to see anymore because I feel like he didn't really like me to begin with.

Anyone ever experience Thai guys wanting to get with you just because you're falang but then when it comes to your personality or looks maybe you're not their type but they still want to be with you, like against their feelings? And it wasn't about money, I'm a stingy bastard and I don't have much and don't give money out, and this guy obviously gets money from the family while studying; is it just cool for some Thai guys to have a falang, like fashionable or something? This guy I could feel didn't like me really at all, totally aloof and just not interested in me, but wanted to meet up and see me a few times. So, okay, fine, we'll just have sex; and we did and I left it at that, telling him I'm leaving soon, which I am, and not contacting him again.

So, I saw him in that place and he sort of turned it into a little drama right there, I've not been with many guys, never been in a long term thing, but have heard about the capacity many gay men have for drama and games, and so this was my first taste of it. The thing is here, I want to go back and see all that skin, but I realized that he probably goes there very often, especially now with school on break, and I don' want to see him again. I wonder why he'd bother coming up to me in there if he doesn't like me anyways, don't really understand it.

Anyways, my question is if there are any other clubs as big and as full as DJ Station where it's full of hot guys and they'll grope and grind on me because I just don't want to run into this person again?

DJ Station is, um, atypical of Thai gay clubs... one could call it 'westernised,' but not really that either. You're unlikely to find a similar type of crowd behaving in a similar manner outside of Silom. I'm not aware of any other place in Bangkok that would have the elements of the atmosphere in which you are interested.

DJ is a big and busy place; I sometimes fail to meet intended friends there, especially on Fridays & Saturdays. I think just be a bit more bold and manly and tell him to s-d off if he gives you truck.

If you are leaving soon then why bother yourself with what this guy does or thinks? And if he gives you a problem just tell him the sex was not up to your expectations; say his dick was too small or his ass too hairy; and make sure other guys hear your comment - he won't bother you again. He'll tell all his friends that you're no good but if you're leaving soon - who cares?

You could try GOD in Soi 2/1 but that place doesn't get busy until after DJ closes so if the crowd goes down there then there is a good chance that he will be there also.

There is a disco up Rachada way called G-something (maybe GSeven?). It's a big gay disco in the middle of a lot of straight discos. I went once (with the BF)--a lot of cute Thais, young, not many farang and certainly no obvious holiday farang types. Quite cheap too, beers or whisky, typical thai, and had a show.

I just heard that there is a new disco near Chatuchak (there r already 1 or 2 gay bars up there). I heard it's a young crowd. I have no more info.

I am suuuure that someone on here will enlighten. I am over 50, so I can't do discos every nite

Went to G-Star once. I think the young trendy crowd would like it. Both my B/F and I felt out of place but could be fun for younger folks (under 25).

If you like DJ, just go. You can banter around with the ex, and then just excuse yourself. Some of this flamboyant behavior is just a show for the friends--a few catty remarks and that's it. You both should be able to move on--he seems to be. It's pretty easy to get lost there (haven't been there for many years, though).

Best of luck to you.

Anytime I've been to Dj recently (which is rare), I regret it immediately I walk in the door!

If I go anywhere in BKK it would be Sakae (Near democracy monument). No farangs and no attitude, just a fun place with people enjoying themselves.

There a whole bunch of straight and gay disco bars in Kamphengphet Road near Chatuchak, and gay bars in Lumsalee (Ramkhamheang 89/2)

I've been there some months ago with three Thai friends. Although the places were full of young trendy gay Thais (upper middle-class), we found the bars boring and left after our first drink.

I remember the feeling well........ haven't been for years!!!

I am a Thai guy and I experienced the feeling of liking someone because they were just farang before, when I started the dating thing at 18. But just a few months after that it appeared to me what I really like. For example I tend to like younger guys around their 20-30, but not all the 20-30 guys that I like. There are certain features, personality and intellectuality that i will know only when I get to meet each person.

However, I can see Thai guys who like farang going for less (than they had expected) especially Thai guys who like to date farangs in their 20s. Cuz there are not many of them, yet everyone are attracted to them. Demand and supply is unbalanced

tiza you are totally correct. Let me say it this way, I am a man in the middle of the 40ties. So it must be my personality (or my look, hehe)that make it so easy for me to find guys who dont look at me as an ATM. I have met many nice guys in DJ and sorroundings, also guys that prefer your agelimit.

My Troll Meter is pinging at 10 with your post. "I finally went to DJ Station even though I hate clubs and can't dance." Get real. That is like saying "I hate to masturbate but I watch porn just for educational purposes." If you don't want to see your ex-bf, there are plenty of gay places to get lost in Bkk. You either aren't looking very hard or you really want to be around him still.

I guess that means that it's kind of a unique situation, the fact that you think it's a troll? I take that as a positive thing. Why was it my first time in such a place? Because I don't drink, and I mean not even here or there, never, I can't dance, feel a little nervous and out of place the times I've been to 'straight' bars and clubs and I would never go to a gay place in my country. Call me a wuss.

But the point of the post was to ask what are some other places, maybe get some recomendations, because I saw that person there and don't want to see him again.

And I got some great responses, Ratchada, Sakae on Ratchadamnoen Klang and around Chatuchak, the Chatuchak one still eluding me. Thanks by the way to everyone, I will check at least one of those places out before I leave.

I'm real dammit!

[PeaceBlondie]

We are all unique. My second week in Nicaragua, my host and his girlfriend (the former prima donna ballerina in the country) took me to a modern dance ballet. Then we went out to dance at a club, me wearing my Texas boots and leather trousers. The lead male dancer (family name DiCaprio!) asked me to dance. Did I resist? No. Did I get lucky? No.

You must have been quite the sight PB.

Yes, but I did not get lucky. And I am not sure he believed me when we danced to an early Elvis Presley song and I said that my grandmother taught me that song.

Bangsecks, for what it's worth, I [and, I think, most readers of this topic] took your post at face value and respond accordingly. On this gay sub-forum - as elsewhere on ThaiVisa - you'll find a wide range of opinion not to mention "attitude" ................ And maybe not so very different from a lot of gay venues, then.

Good that you got a heads-up on where else to go. Enjoy.

[bangsecks]

Okay, so I made it to Ratchada Soi 8, to Sake, and to DJ Station again, all in the last few nights. Ratchada is pretty good, good show with underwared dancers, no entrance fee, but it's a Thai style so you have a table and they put ice in your glass and pour your drink for you, which I never like anywhere, don't like that babying. Don't know why Thai people think that's good service. Anyways, Sake is the same, but smaller and older, dancers too, but the drag show is better because the katoey are young and good looking. It of course has a slight Japanese theme to it.

Then went to DJ Station again and didn't run into what's-his-name and so I had a good time. I wouldn't say that it's better still than the others, they're really just of a different style, but I quite liked it. I felt like I was more popular in DJ, people were fussing over me and thouching me and I got a lot of contacts, which was good and bad, really crowded, where as I was pretty much ignored in the other places. Is this because there aren't so many falangs in those other places and so they are not as comfortable going up to one in there?

So, it seems like if you want to have Thai guys play with you, which means a little drama too, then DJ is an option, the possibility of meeting a money boy too, while the other places are really good to just sort of hang out and watch.

[Rionoir]

DJ and GOD are where Thai boys who want to meet farang go.

Most of the other clubs are where Thai boys go when they want to meet other Thai boys or just hang out with their friends or do anything but meet farang.

You can run into Thai that like farang anywhere, they might be at another club with their "sticky" friends or whatever, but if you just want to get groped and poked and be completely inappropriate in public then DJ and GOD are your choices.
