It will be cut in half very soon. Then the open half gets another year. Next April.

Most have shows at midnight. But you have to be careful now that it’s low season. If not enough customers, there will be no show. Your probably safe on Friday and Saturdays having shows, but rest of week is now hit or miss.

Funny thing about it. Bangkok is farther, but more often than not, cheaper. I live in Ft.Lauderdale and Brazil is an easy trip. But for the past 5 years I have been spending 6 months in Bangkok and 6 months in Florida. I’ve stopped going to Brazil. I easily get fares for under $1000 to Thailand. Brazil can be twice that. Airbnb is half the price of Brazil. The entertainment factor in Bangkok is way ahead of Brazil. I had great times in Rio. I met TotallyOz down there. I am hoping to get back there soon. But now in retirement my money goes much farther in Thailand. I also spend time in Vietnam which is half as much as Thailand and a beautiful country.

Tonight Twilight got off to a great start for the holiday weekend. By 9:30 Dreamboys was turning people away. Many of those customers went to X-Size and FreshBoys. They had full houses for their shows. Many boys offed tonight. Maxis so full they were sitting in the aisles. At midnight a few people started to try to use water guns, but were shut down by much of the staff on the street. They were told to wait till tomorrow. It will be a financially successful weekend if the next couple of nights are anything like tonight. Lots of spending.

Nope. I just went there and thought it was me. No forum page

They mostly just fine the place they are working.

The police have been hasseling them for the last 3 months. It’s been better for the last couple of weeks. I was with several of my Vietnamese friends last night and they didn’t mention anything new happening. I’m headed out now for the evening and will ask around. But I haven’t seen any evidence of boys heading back to Vietnam.

I was told tonight by “a fairly reliable source” that Twilight will be open thru Songkren of next year. So again, time will tell.

Rumor of the evening......FreshBoys is moving to a space above Screwboys about May 1.

Not the world. Plenty of ass available here in Bangkok .

But you know your irresistible to the boys.

I’ll be back to Ft.Lauderdale April 30. I trade my 90’s from Bangkok for the 90’s of South Florida. Since living 6 months a year in Thailand the Ft.Lauderdale summers don’t feel nearly so bad. My sister and her husband figured now that I winter in Bangkok, the will drive down from Boston and winter at my condo. A sure sign of spring....they are migrating back up north on April 1. And for you Ms. Anne, they will be followed by many other Canadians, New Englanders and New Yorkers. We will get our roads back for the summer.

Here in Bangkok we are stuck on 95 degree sunshine day after day. What’s this snow stuff you mention.

Things were back to normal tonight. All boys back to work. Seemed to be plenty of customers. No police in sight.

Last night Twilight was quiet. X-Boys and FreshBoys had no one hanging around outside. Each had one doorman. I also noticed they tended to keep curtains closed a bit more than usual. More like when a show was going on. Bangkok Massage had 4 boys working. Usually 10-15. Bonney closed at 10pm. They had no boys working. Maxis and Dreamboys were the only places that seemed to be doing ok. There was also a police presence at the entrance to Soy Thanyia. They were checking taxis again. When I left my driver asked me to put seatbelt on till we got onto Rama4.

Last night was a quiet night . But overall, Twilight has been fairly busy . I was told this will only affect Twilight. Everywhere else should be business as usual. Dreamboys is all Thai so shouldn’t be affected to much. Everywhere else will be short staffed. If it’s worth visiting tonight, that’s up to you and what your looking for. Maybe a good night to try out Moonlight, Screwboys and Jupiter.

A couple of developments tonight in Twilight. Tomorrow night there is to be a heavy police presence. Only Thai boys will be allowed to work. Cambodian, Lao, Vietnam and Myanmar boys were told to not even be in Twilight tomorrow. Possibly 2 nights, but to be determined tomorrow. On the closure situation. Heard from a somewhat reliable source. On May 1, only Hot Male, Banana Bar, x-Size and FreshBoys will remain open. Everything else will be closed and walled off. We’ve all heard all sorts of rumors, but this came from management types and information was given to workers. So I guess we will just have to wait and see.

They have just opened so hiring will be ongoing for a bit.

And yet they are full or close to full every night. Lots of people don’t mind paying.

I have no idea what your talking about. The fact that a Gay board discusses many different subjects. What does that have to do with the survival of the Gay scene? Are we not allowed to talk about anything that is not Gay specific?

If it’s legal currency, the boys will accept it. Obviously they prefer baht, but if customer says I can’t take you because I don’t have baht yet, boy will take equivalent amount in foreign currency. They know where the currency exchanges are. Most of the gogo’ will accept major foreign currency’s, but the exchange rate will definitely not be in your favor.

So what is your point ? Every post you make is negative. So I’m assuming your trying to make a point that gays aren’t allowed to think or talk about anything else besides sex. Why aren’t you discussing your issues with GayButton instead of trying to stir the pot over here. There are others things going on in the world besides Twilight and Jomtien.

Many of my flights get in around 11pm. I usually figure from time plane pulls up to gate till I get to my condo, is about 1-1/2 hours. Immigration, baggage claim, taxi and traffic are usually ok at that hour. Your only issue will be immigration, some nights 10 people and other nights 500 people. This you just can’t plan on. But I’ve been very lucky at that hour.

Tomcal, I have the same situation here in Bangkok. I spend 6 months a year. I have stayed in the same condo for 5 years. I love the location and all the amenities. Everybody asks me where it is and how can they rent it. I never tell anybody. Only ones that know location are the boys I bring home. FloridaRob arrives today. I don’t even tell him.
