There's a rumour going around that Super A has closed - for good. Seems the boys have been moved to the bar downstairs. Anyone have any more info? I'll try and check it out on Sunday.

Ah, memories (most of them I won't share here!). Based on a recommendation from a US pal (Dave), the first boy bar I entered in the late 90's in Thailand was the Super A (which then was located down the same soi but on the opposite side). I was a bit overwhelmed the first night but I ultimately became charmed by the little pixie owner (Manoo) and some of the employees (excepting only the screetching ladyboy mamasan whose name I've thankfully forgotten). I wandered in there during my trips to Thailand for a few years and often would take off a few of the boys (mainly for dinner, disco, trip to the Grand Palace, trip to Pattaya, etc.). One time, I even went along to Nakon Ratchisma with Manoo and a few of the boys to extricate one of the boys from the ghastly prison up there.

 

I can relate one experience that's stayed with me. One afternoon, about 2 PM, Manoo invited Dave and I to come over for lunch with him and some of the boys we knew. Suprisingly, when we arrived, Manoo had several bags of McDonald's goodies on site (somehow we expected Pad Thai or the like) but we sat there in the brightened main room (and, yes, it's even sleazier when the lights are on!) having a good time chomping on burgers and fries, telling stories of all kinds, and having lots of laughs. An old man came in the door and sat on the couch immediately behind Dave and me but, at first, we paid no attention to him until I started hearing some unusual sounds. After a while, hearing what sounded like some kind of porn movie, I turned around and saw the old man had a fully naked boy working on his "lap" and another fully naked boy straddling the old man with his crotch in the old man's face. I poked Dave to turn around and look and, after he quickly stole a glance, both Dave and I had rather strange expressions on our faces (like deer in car headlights) while neither Manoo or any of the other boys (all of whom were facing us two and clearly saw the entire show going on behind us) showed any glimmer of interest in the proceedings. Dave and I both fidgeted a bit and had trouble finishing our lunch while trying to ignore the ever-loudening show behind us. Yep, that was the Super A.

Bob, I am stunned! This doesn't sound like you. Mebbe your account has been hacked?!

Until a few years ago, Super Lek used to be located at the end on the other side of that soi. I always enjoyed that bar. It had a large square stage with old '30s style flimsy see-through drapes that would ascend at the start of the shows. I seem to recall that Super A also started its incarnation on that side and was there for quite some years before moving 'up and over' as it were. It seems the sleaze is now restricted to Nature Boys and Golden Cock, although I have never seen anything in the latter apart from bored overweight guys playing with their phones!

Lol. Well, that's all behind me now (and, if you comment at all about my "behind", I'll pull a rabbit outta your nose!). Now all I do is go to temples and I'm working on becoming a virgin.

youve probably read the same item as I have now: it has not closed, but relocated-and this might very well be the full turn of the cycle to where it all started-some 20 yrs or even more ago-or it may have gone to the smaller side-room where that msg/underage/then another msg or so had very short lives (and maybe KHUn of notorious fame also for some time). Does not read like it has closed.

In the same type of offerings is still nature boy-just a litttle further around the corner and beyond GoldenCock, unless this has now also gone bellyup.
