As far as the best bars to go to first, there's really no way to answer that. Different people are going to have different opinions as to what constitutes the best bars or which ones to start with. Just try them all. You don't have to be stuck in a bar you don't like. There's nothing wrong with going in, looking at the boys present in the bar, and if you don't care for what you see, turning around, walking out, and moving on to the next bar. Besides, you don't really plan to just walk by a go-go bar without at least having a look, are you? Then you'll have to wonder what you missed. In Bangkok, the greatest number of bars are on Silom Road (pronounced "SEE-lom"). Try Soi Twilight. That's the most popular area. When you ask what time of day you should see, I'm assuming that means what are the operating hours of the bars. They open at 8:00 PM and close at 1:00 AM, if they are operatring legally. I'm always happy to personally help out people new to Pattaya and I have a car to do it with. If you are going to be in Pattaya and would like to contact me personally, send me an E-mail at gaybutton@gmail.com . I'll be glad to get together with you when you are here and show you the whole thing, including the venues that are not so easy to find or get to. Perhaps someone who is in Bangkok and is familiar with everything will make the same offer to you and personally help you when you are there. I recommend doing that, if someone is willing. That way you won't end up spending your first night or two just trying to figure out where everything is. Personally, I think you are far better off finding someone experienced to personally help you, at least during your first night out, but if you prefer to "work alone," then have a look at http://www.dreadedned.com . Look at his "City Guides" section. He has listings of most of the gay venues. When you arrive in Thailand, look for "Spice Magazine." It's free and most gay venues will have copies on hand. There are maps of the gay areas inside that include listings of where all the different venues are. When will you arrive and how long will you be in Thailand? Quote

Bob Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I could be wrong here but I think "Soi Twilight" is the soi heading north off of Suriwong, just east of the main Patpong street (e.g., where Dick's Cafe and a load of bars are located). At least that's what I've always called that street (okay, occasionally I refer to it as Soi Prostitute! ). Balcony bar and many others bars are on sois running north off of Silom. There's also Soi Tarntawan (which leads south off of Suriwong opposite the Tawana Ramada). Get yourself a map of the Suriwong/Silom area (Dreaded Ned has one as do many other sites) and you'll likely be able to find something that makes you happy. Quote
Guest wowpow Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 courtesy www.spicemag.net which has other excellent maps and articles. Twighlight is fading!! Twighlight Bar renamed itself Hot Male - crazy decision but it's done. The official name is Duangthawee Plaza and some are trying to popularise Soi Boy or Boy Plaza. Soi Prostitute is amusing but could refer to so many Bangkok streets e.g. Thaniya Plaza, Soi Cowboy Quote

Regarding showing you around, if you come to Pattaya I'll be glad to do that. I don't live in Bangkok, so maybe someone else will be willing to show you around in Bangkok. Quote

Guest stef Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Guys, be careful not to post any links that has porn or nude photos. The law in Thailand is specific on this. It is not allowed. So I will remove all link to all sites that has any nude or porn photos. Thanks for understanding. Quote
