My first visit to BKK, a certified newbie, the first bar I walked into was Harry's, on Silom Soi 2. It was rightly touted as a gathering place for farang visitors (many business-types) and where one could get information / updates from other customers or bartenders on gay life / hook-ups in the area. No chorus line of boys to off that I remember, but a place to start. I'd learned of it from Dreaded Ned's. Are there others here that frequented the web forum at Dreaded Ned's? - the best and most current (at the time) BKK info (30+ years ago). I arrived as a shy first-timer. 😁 Didn't take me long to lose the shyness! There was a different bar upstairs or next door with twinks who were out for drinks and fun, not working per se (available), and no off fee was required. I took a few home that trip (some for $, some not); times were different. Gorgeous, though. DJ Station was across the Soi. Another bar in the same Soi with a sign painted on front "Beer. Bed. Boy. $5". Don't ask. I'm no longer shy. Cured.
