Police raid "sauna" in Rachada - tourists test positive for drugs as cops decide what to do By webfact, 12 hours ago in Bangkok News webfact 28,020 webfact #1 Posted 12 hours ago Police raid "sauna" in Rachada - tourists test positive for drugs as cops decide what to do 6pm.jpg Picture: TNA Following complaints that tourists and locals were up to no good the Huay Kwang police decided to raid a four story establishment in Rachada Soi 3 yesterday. They found a lot of men in singlets and shorts milling about. There were empty condom packets on the sofa, on the floor and in the toilets. The cops said that the place was used by Thai and foreign men. TNA said that the management had applied for a license to sell food, soft drinks and alcohol in 2015. It was run as a sauna-cum-fitness center, they said. In their headline they said that the place had not had a licence since 2015. Adding to the confusion many of the tourists managed to slip out while the investigation was ongoing. Some who were tested for drugs returned a purple result. An unnamed officer from the Huay Kwang police said they would have their samples rechecked at a hospital and that the operation was ongoing. No name was given of any police or the establishment itself. TNA stands for Thai News Agency.

I go to arena off and on and I understand the business structure, I just took exception to relating it to that of a restaurant and paying for food and relating that to the tip at a massage place. In a restaurant you pay for the meal and tip the server. In a massage business, you pay for the massage and tip the massage worker. If a restaurant had a price structure that demanded a high minimum tip for the servers unrelated to how good their service was than you could say it was a similar business model to a thai massage business. That's all.

I don't think I would eat at a restaurant that has a high minimum tip in place.

Also, keep an out out for deals at the bandara hotel

If I had a bar in twilight, I would be looking for the best new location to move too and get out while the getting is good. I would hat to be the last bar standing in a dark and empty soi.

I was just channeling those that advocate and embrace inflated prices for bar fun haha

Why complain about the prices? Do you know how long a doctor in the war torn parts of africa would have to save to off a guy in Amsterdam? We should just give the mamasan our atm card and pin number and let them take what would be considered fair. Many of us are making more money due to pay raises and promotions and that somehow should be factored in when we are in a different country with their own currency and economic model. If I were you I would pay twice what they are asking, but since I'm me, and I'm a cheap Charlie, I won't be throwing my money around

I thought it was a way for them to make the bar ready for the next crop of people. Barnum style... Pasted from the PT Barnum page... Barnum's American Museum was so popular that people would spend the entire day there. This cut into profits, as the museum would be too full to squeeze another person in. In classic Barnum style, old P.T. put up signs that said "This Way to the Egress." Many customers followed the signs, not realizing that Egress was a fancy word for "Exit." They kept on looking for this strange new attraction, the "Egress". Many patrons followed the signs right out the door! Once they had exited the building, the door would lock behind them, and if they wanted to get back in, they had to pay another admission charge! Modern museums make sure that the last thing you see before you exit is the gift shop.

I thought about buying the bar, but for me, the daily commute would be murder. LOL

What if I were to tell you about about a once in a lifetime opportunity? What if I told you there was an opportunity to open a place of business that has steady foot traffic? What if I told you that it was in an area very welcoming to gay business? What if I told you that many people are keeping an eye on this spot? Don't reach for your wallet yet! What if I told you that this spot was located in a infamous Soi, across from a popular gogo bar with a prime view to the comings and goings of the street? Please, put your money away for now... What if I were to tell you that this location comes with seating outside, inside and has upper floors that can be used to enhance your business? That's right! You could be the proud owner of a bar once known as Oscars! Name your new bar anything you like. Hire the most handsome guys of your dreams. Serve ice cold beer, refreshing beverages and tasty snacks! All while in the company of your sexy staff and happy customers! Those jolly, happy vacationers will be flocking to your bar, buying drinks, offing the staff and tipping well for the pleasure of it all. Even though you will be surrounded by identical bars, your bar will stand out! Your chairs and tables will be different than the other bars. Your competition won't know what hit them! Once you sign the dotted line your life will be filled with champagne wishes and caviar dreams!

There is still soi 4, jomtien complex, paying, boystown and Babylon is a complex all by itself. And we dont onow what tomorrow brings. Heck, I'm now using my Google home to turn on and off lights and control my TV's. Things are only getting better. Another gay area may appear with fresh bars, restaurants and services for the next generation. These will be their good old days

I went to Arena massage last October. I chose a guy with fair skin with a muscular build. He didn't have much of a cock and the massage was simply OK. I declined the HJ.

If it was my last trip to Thailand and I could only see the show from 1 bar.... I would be sitting in BoyzBoyzBoyz

The closing of the soi may be a blessing in disguise. Having everything gathered together in one soi allowed for inflated prices just as mall prices tend to be higher than shop prices found on random streets. Bars will have to earn customers rather than try to muscle them in as they gawk at the bars as they travel through the gay entertainment habitat known as soi twilight. Sure, some bars will close and other will take their place. It happend to Jupiter 2002. They opened in soi 4 which all thought to be impossible. Maybe gogo bars will return to soi 2? No matter where they open, it will reduce the average cost to customers as the bars try to rebuild their following. Since there is nothing I can do to stop the closure, I will embrace it, welcome it and anticipate what tomorrow brings. If I am wrong and they find a way to increase prices, I'll be one unhappy customer

I judge dreamboys by other bars in thailand. Judging by their neighbors, they are expensive and I chose to exercise my options. I'm sure others are happy to pay those prices. Heck, I even refuse to buy avian water and prefer the 5 baht bottles.

Dreamboys use to be the only bar I would visit but their high prices put me off and I enter that bar once every few years. The funny thing is that the show has not changed. But the prices have... It's just the most expensive gay bar in Thailand.

How much luggage are you traveling with?

Just remember a few lyrics frome some of my favorite songs.... The good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems. And one of my favorites... Good times... These are the good times. Go out and visit Twilight

I hate glamor drag. I was once dragged to the old Icon Show Bar and watched them perform scenes from Chicago. It was okay but I still don't want to waste my time looking at guys in hi-heels and a Dress, especially in a gay gogo bar.

I wish I knew how to crack the whip on Numazu to get him to finish his cliffhanger. I think I'm going to watch the movie misery to find some ideas

Great post numazu, now get out of this thread and finish up your trip report to Brazil!

I like the bars for the show bit you won't find me at dreamboys. I know the show by heart because it seem to never change. The drag queen fashion show with drag penis nudity. Yuk. Drag routine with guy with decent body pretending he didn't know the drag queen was a drag queen. Yuk. 500 baht beer with a host asking you if you want another before you drink half of your 500 baht beer. Yuk.

I like both. I like the bars, the apps, the beach and meeting guys out in public. It's a smorgasbord.

You would catch my eye as you walked by. You make 55 look good!
