All bars are closed tonight. 
A banner outside Fresh Boys tonight.  Door opened but no boys,  just a few minders loitering about. 
One of them told me that they will be open on Sunday. 
 

Soi Twilight in broad daylight is like the common prostitutes without concealing makeup.
It looks like the end is imminent. According to a lady at a restaurant just beyond Classic boys, all the businesses in the main soi would be gone soon.

Work is still in progress, although today is election day.
The premises appeared rather small, the frontage is about 4 metres wide, and the length probably less than 15 metres. There is an upstairs in the rear half. A lady(ladyboy)? supervisor allowed me access to the interior to take some pics.
Expected date of completion sometime in April.

When visiting Borobudur in Java I was positively mobbed for that purpose and I must be on at least 50-60 of those selfies including whole class , one by one with teacher first

Election posters in Silom. 
1. With a promise of equal rights for LGBT. 
2. With a promise to protect the black panther. 
A very neat and orderly display of posters of all the contesting parties. 

yes , this is what I think and hope as well.
It's nice to have memories but I'm one of those who rather think about next trip than cherish memories of previous one.
 
Like spoon said above , at end of day and beginning of night  all we need is one bar and one boy from that bar 
 

Taking ice in any restaurant or bar can be risky unless the source is a hygienic factory.
If you're in rural Cambodia, you'll certainly need a strong stomach.

And all the eligible voters will be happy to cast their votes the following day.

As I understand it, Pheu Thai expected to work with Thai Raksa and an agreement was made not to compete for the same seats. When Thai Raksa was banned it was too late for Pheu Thai to submit their own candidates. The last poll that I saw-two weeks ago- suggested that the popular vote will go against the junta  but, as you say, to what extent that will be reflected in the balance of power is uncertain.
I tend towards the cynical view; how many military dictatorships across the world have ever willingly given-up power?  f they did, who would pay for their collections of Rolexes?
 

Taking the slow train back to Pattaya would be more economical.

and I have a feeling none of those factors will be actual result of that voting, God , this forum and whole Thai nation my witness how I wish to be wrong

The Myanmar model? an election to keep the UN et al of its collective back, the  appointment of a useful idiot who will toe the line (even if she has won the Nobel Prize) and the same policies as before, ensuring the continued dominance of the ruling-class.  The only thing that hasn't been tried yet is Buddhist Nationalism - seen to great effect in the massacres of the Rohingya and Tamils. Let's hope it stays that way, though we should expect more repression of the Red Shirts who probably represent a majority of Thais in poorer areas.

In the meantime, ex Moonlight model Mr Fluke is alive and well at Fake Club.
My friend is there and sent me a video of him walking on runway one hour ago. It’s shame the crowd isn’t looking at him at all. 
 
 

Why would it feel odd if not only nude pics, but pics of him in simulated gay sex action, fully erect, are out online for all to see (like the Bang-magazine shots)?
I have some other nude pics of him, too, even fully erect (together with another guy), they're being circulated in various Line groups,  along with gazillions of other sexy pics and clips. Though I doubt many, if any at all, in those groups know who he is, his name and his Moonlight affiliation, simply because they don't know anything about that bar or the gogo bar scene in general because they are mostly Thai-for-Thai groups. Some I even saw in a Singaporean Line group! 
Maybe I should put some in the model photos thread....   

Last trip two Cambodian long time cases happened to be 'until 5 o'clock' ... which left me puzzled, if there is a kind of Cambodian gathering at 5:30am? No such things with Cambo guys in previous trips... Although as Christian said some 'different sleeping habits' - a guy from BBB just couldnt sleep around 1am being at a gogos boy schedule (not THAT guy @vinapu - that guy is Lao  By the way I've got his new Line account, but too late to go to BKK this trip)
Another funny case with 5 o'clock and kind of long time (I had asked for a long at the first evening) - next day evening, around 9pm I got a message from the guy "i am free today till 5pm". Which with those two 5am cases, me requesting a long time and actual time being 9pm already - I happily took for 5am Not 'till breakfast' of coz, but not a short time either... Good   But it happened to be just 23:00 coz it is Thai style '5 in the evening (18+5=23)'. Pity   Although photo I took for him with 'Jomtien beach' sign that evening is still at FB page as a cover photo...
 

I'm in agreement with Vinapu in most instances. It baffles me when someone has to have the last word.
Surely the Thai go-go bars are set up not for the sole patronage of American big tippers.

It's a longer route, requiring more fuel.
Some planes can make the longer route, some have to make stops to refuel which some airlines decided to do.
Thai might not have the planes, might not have ground ops for a stop-over or plain doesn't want to pay for it...

Apparently Nicky has been suspended from work. Around 1 month. He smashed his car into another car with a customer on board, and the customer went back to Moonlight for compensation.

For X-Boys Pattaya I have recent experience that you can have a boy sitting with you and get away without buying a drink. That's not my normal mode of operation, but here how it came:
I'm not a fan of X-Boys Pattaya and haven't been for over a year. But I spotted a cute boy Ball online, and he works in X-Boys, and after over a year it's time to re-assess the bar and their show. So I went shortly before show to see the boys on rotation first, and then the show after.
Before show started, lights went off and all boys left stage, and Ball came to sit with me uninvited (important; if I invite a boy I always buy him a drink). I think three staff asked me if I would buy him a drink, a firm "no" and they left me in peace and the boy sitting on my side. As there were only few other customers, I didn't feel he loses on opportunity for an off, and tipped him 100 when I left. The audition was positive, and some day I might meet him before or after work.
I freely admit I'm a cheapskate. Under certain circumstances I can justify paying 280 THB for drink for me, but I cannot justify paying 300 THB for a boy drink. And if staff had told me the boy cannot sit with me unless I buy him a drink, I would have replied "then he will have to sit somewhere else", and taken all communication with the boy online.
If a boy sits with me uninvited, and he is not my type, then no drink and no tip.
X-Boys Bangkok, I haven't been for years (?) and cannot tell.
But I clearly remember I offed a boy from Classic Boys about 2012 without even entering the bar, just asking at door if he is in, pay off fee, and go (after boy dressing). And similar elsewhere, but with entering the bar and drinking, call the boy over, ask him "do you want to go with me?" (no details about activities or money) and send him back to dress.

Hehe, this trip involved 2 'no drinks at all' offs from Xboys Pattaya and 1 off with my drink and dances with a non-asked boy drink (which was sent back and the token returned to a mamasan; coz non-asked and the first thing was actually my question to the boy about kind of promised long time - no long time; so to show off a bit the boy at once hooked up another farang and got his beer and token back  such a sexy guy he is; and I moved to the second option 'plan M', who is not less sexy at all)
But as a balancing act there were 2 more visits with my drinks and no offs. At the latest visit the second boy came to me, got 100 baht and no mamasan there were rushed with a drink (oh, those cheap and grim Russians! Not buying drinks for boys! Have I got a reputation there?). Actually, I was sensing that the boy could sit with me for some time, but I just decided to go to the next bar to follow some other forum members 
Generally, my 'no drinks at all' off are of coz with guys I kinda know or from the outside team of ToyBoys
