The following appears in THE NATION: _____ Police "Have Clues" about Bangkok Bombing Masterminds Police do have clues about who was behind the bomb attacks in Bangkok on New Year's Eve but are gathering more evidence to implicate and prosecute them, assistant national police chief Pol Lt General Jongrak Juthanont said Tuesday. "They are the people the public have been suspicious of or widely discussed about. But police cannot yet take any action against them without evidence," he said, without giving further details. Jongrak, the lead investigator handling the case, also pleaded with eyewitnesses or those who saw the suspected bombers before the exp…

Let me tell you, rumor has it that the Clubber bar had bought the Diamond bar (formerly know as Amigo bar) and has plans to open a hotel. Diamond bar was shut down in a police raid a few weeks back and has been closed ever since. Clubber employees have been seen cleaning out the many tables and chairs as well as some of the rooms upstairs. Do you think a hotel in this location will be profitable?

You guys that like to be packed like sardines at DJ's dance club or the later dance club of X-Boom may want to try G.O.D. which is where Freemans use to be. It doesn't get going until after 2am but stays open until 4:30(gets packed by 3am). Great music mix...the DJ keeps it flowing --tunes are better than DJ's and more room to breathe. Great for cruising.

As many of you know, Gaypattayan, who produces the "Weekly Report" on the Pattayagay.com web site has been going through some difficult medical problems. As a result this week's "Weekly Report" has not appeared. You will find a good temporary alternative on the http://www.suneeplaza.com web site for the time being. I am placing a duplicate of this post on the Baht-Stop web site.

I just loved this one. The following appears in the PATTAYA CITY NEWS: _____ Two trainee Police Volunteers Arrested after Taking the Law into their Own Hands In the early hours of Tuesday Morning Police arrested two trainee Pattaya Police Volunteers accused of working outside of the law and without the supervision of Police and other volunteers. The two men are Khun Gitisak aged 23 and Khun Pitsopar aged 25. Both men recently went through a training course but do not possess Police Volunteer ID cards and are therefore not permitted to work as volunteers unless they are supervised by Police or existing volunteers. It appears that both men took it u…

For those who are interested, ousted Prime Minister Thaksin's CNN interview last night was not shown in Thailand. It is my understanding that the actual interview lasted about four minutes. The CNN web site has a video of about 2 minutes of the interview and it is all in English. If you wish to view it, the URL is: http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/...view/index.html The following appears in THE NATION: _____ Thaksin: Enough is Enough Ex-PM vows he won't re-enter politics; denies being behind blasts, saying he wouldn't be so stupid as to plant bombs Overthrown prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has vowed not to re-enter politics, saying…

Since the Sansuk Sauna has now opened in Pattaya, this afternoon I paid my first visit. Unfortunately I was there too early. I went at 2:00. They don't open until 3:00, but I was given a tour. First, the operating hours, for the time being are 3:00 PM until 11:00PM to 12:00AM. The closing time will depend on the number of customers. Also, for the time being, the admission price is 180 baht. I looked through the sauna, but did not look at the guesthouse at all, at least not today. The entrance decor did remind me of the Babylon Sauna in Bangkok . . . all tile and quite appealing. I suppose comparing Sansuk to Babylon can't be helped. It is similar to …

BANGKOK, Jan 15 (TNA) - A Thai government official has confirmed that the H5N1 avian influenza virus was found last week in two duck samples from the northern Phitsanulok province, worrying officials across the region as revived activity is reported in four other Asian countries.

Nirandorn Uangtrakulsuk, Director of the Bureau of Disease Control Veterinary Service said the lab tests confirmed that two duck samples from the provincial seat in Phitsanulok, 377 kilometers …

I have been using the proxy server www.v3proxy.com successfully for some time, but it is now up for sale. Can anyone recommend a good replacement?

Not long ago, on the thread entitled "Bangkok Parks and Street Hustlers" (see http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/index.ph...kok%20park&st=0 ) GayThailand wrote about the scads of boys he saw at Saranrom Park, in Bangkok. Yesterday I was in Bangkok and I decided to see for myself. It's absolutely true. If you go to Saranrom Park at night you're going to find available boys virtually everywhere! Most of them are college students, or at least they say they are. Some work alone and some work in small groups. Every boy and group I spoke with were very friendly and I felt perfectly safe walking though the area. It's well lit and on a major thoroughfare, so you do…

Hi guys, happy New Year. I am coming over on the 10thFeb and will be staying at the Pinnacle, I am trying to locate it on my Lonely Planet Book so I can start planning my itinery. Exactly where is it in relationship to a major tourist site. Michael

Catchy title, isn't it?? As a regular visitor to Sunee Plaza and as a guy who more often than not orders caffee yen (iced coffee) rather than gin and tonic, I watch the nightime alchoholic antics of some folks with disbelief and a tinge of sadness. Some folks show up every night at the same table in the same open air bar and snap back 8, or 9, or 10 drinks before heading back home. One bar at the epicenter of the Plaza has even been known to help a severely soused patron navigate to their car so they can drive home. So from Lady Bunny's blog, here's a letter (slightly edited) that may ring true.... Dear Alcohol, First & foremost, let me t…

As I have had a few messages from girls wanting to know if there are and lesbian bars in Thailand after a search I have found there is a few things happening, but knowing a few gay girls in Thailand they were telling me to be a lesbian in Thai culture is not good, I said why not? as Thais are so laid back about most sexual situations so no hang ups in the boys until they get westernized, Go to any Laos/Thai dances to see how they carry on when Drink all over each other. No they told me, "the problem is its frowned on, is they will not be producing children," so the families really don't like that. Here we are Girls just a few 'tit Bits' for you, I did know of a…

I have been given a great opportunity to do some things in life I have wanted to do for years. I have decided to take the bull by the horn and go off into the wild blue yonder.

While starting to make arrangements for my late March holiday I visited the Cafe Royale web site only to find information about it's birthday party last November and an advertisement for the American Thanksgiving just past. These are both about two months old. Can anyone shed any light on what is happening and if is okay to again stay at this hotel or best to make other arrangements. Is was and maybe still is a great place to stay but with the tariff charged i need some help in deciding.

Gaybutton. I would like to ask you to clarify your stated change to the rules of the board: "Now, before people start to panic about the board being essentially in my hands over the next few months, you do not have to worry (or celebrate) that this board is now under the control of the power hungry "control freak" that I am often reputed to be. I have agreed to moderate this board by the policies and wishes set by GayThailand, keeping in mind that this board belongs to him and not to me. GayThailand and I disagree about certain types of posts and specific posters that appear on this board. Quite frankly, if this board belonged to me there would be a few people …

Apparently, for whatever reasons, the powers-that-be don't mind newspaper reporting about Thaksin, so far, but now consider television and radio news reports about him to be a no-no.

Representatives of all television and radio stations were today invited to meet with members of the Council of National Security to be notified of the CNS's ''request for cooperation'' to refrain from airing news about the deposed pri…
