I went to Soi Twilight last night as I heard about the demise of Soi Twilight. The area is being converted into a big mall. There are only 2000 malls in Bangkok, but they seem to want another one. Lots of the bars and clubs are now boarded up and closed. This weekend is the last weekend for a few others. Many of them are moving to the other side of Suriwong and some near Silom 4 and some near the Patong Night Market. When I first came to Bangkok 17 years ago, I fell in love with this area as there were 10 GoGo bars and 10 beer bars (estimate) on the same little street and all next door to each other. Walk out one door with 100 boys on stage and into another with the same. Paradise! Now, it will be more spread out and a bit of a hike (5 minutes) from one area to another. Some are moving next to each other while others are still trying to find venues. I don't get into this area too often but wanted to go in this weekend to say goodbye to this old friend. This truly was one of the most amazing streets on earth and it will never be replicated anywhere. It is just not possible to do. Now, don't think for one moment that this means the boys are gone. They will still be there, just spread out a bit more and now more than a 5 second walk.

Welcome!

I have read the reports here. I have seen the photos here. But, still hard to believe until you see in person. I came to Bangkok in 2002 and this was the first place I visited and I fell in love with the area. Seeing things all boarded up and gone was a bit sad. The end of an era has now come. This is the last weekend for a few of those bars. Most are moving or disappearing. I hope the area still maintains enough venues for all the boys as I saw many boys at Screwboys tonight but the seats suck and not a good view of the stage unless you get the right seat.

I was there tonight for about an hour. The boys were sexy and there were more boys working than in ANY other bar I visited tonight. Dreamboys was dead with 6 boys on stage. The vibe was good, tons of cute twinks and yes, smoking all over. I hate smoking but usually don't notice until I leave and have watery eyes (if cute boys inside as that distracts me).

It is kind of like the Muller report: anti-climatic. However, something smelled fishy with me all along.

What do you make of the news that all charges have been dropped?

I thought a very clever ad campaign.

Weird. Strange.

I hear the same thing. But, I do not know. Not one of the "superstars" of the bar is one I would want to off. I like more the Screwboy twinky type guys.

Numerito, I remember a few NYC escorts who stayed the same age for 10 years. I wish I had some of what they were drinking.

Good news!

Do you see this as a sign of the times and things changing in Brazil as they have so many other places?

Glad you have not been hurt. I am getting older and each year I find ways to cope and change my lifestyle. I now do not use bathtubs as they have rounded edges but use a shower only to take showers. I am always fearful of slip and falls.

This is an interesting thread on Moonlight at GayGuides complete with photos and experiences. https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/12024-moonlight/

It is typical for the format. This bar has more body types like these. Others are very different and cater to different needs. I like twinks so it is not my cup of tea. Well, I have found just as many big dicks here as I have in Brazil or USA. True size queens can be happy anywhere they just need to see the goods first to not be disappointed. For me, this is not a requisite.

I have to say, this country has pulled together since the tragedy and not become the side show that America becomes after tons of these incidents. This video really moved me. https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2019/mar/18/students-perform-haka-to-pay-tribute-to-classmates-killed-in-christchurch-video

I am an expert on buying mobile phones for guys in Thailand. If you need any advice, let me know. Seriously, if you like him and you have the money, I don't see a big deal. But, I know you may not like to spend money on things like that, but in the end, most of us are very wealthy compared to most Thai guys.
