This is just a rough estimate for gay bisnis in the big city of BKK. All figures rounded.

 

GoGo-bars: 12 or 13, except 2 all in the Silom area, half of that in soi Pratoochai(or HOtmail).

 

Other bars/pubs( the Thai is undecided how to name it):

with karaOK and off-boys: 5-6, all in Sapan Kwai

as a disco, no ''official'' off-boys: 10-15, a bit depending on how gay you want them to be. Except 2 (DJ and GOD) all OUT of Silom-area, with clusters in RamkamHaeng (LamSalee) and Chatuchak (or OTOKO or Kamphaeng Phet, that is all the same) and isolated ones in other areas.

 

gay sauna"s: around 40-50 with no real cluster, but notably fewer west of the main Chao Praya river. In all the mentioned gay areas there at least 2 nearby.

 

M2M massageshops: around 70-80, as the saun

Dear Pong,

 

Keeping listings up to date is a real nightmare.

 

Venues are opening and closing all the time and while it is not surprising that businesses who close make no notification of the fact, it is surprising that new businesses are not more keen to announce their presence- it seems that many, especially Thais are not convinced that they benefit from publicity.

 

You could try the maps and listings on www.out-in-thailand.com but you will have to register

 

Best wishes,

 

James.
