Guest fountainhall Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 On Friday evening, I took two friends to Silom Soi 4 which neither had visited before. It was also my first visit there for well over a year, as I have not been a great fan of the soi for some time. I was surprised at how many new venues seem to have spring up. Telephone, Balcony and Sphinx Restaurant no longer have the pick of the crop. Indeed, when we ended up at Balcony at around 11:00pm where they serve excellently-priced litres of Kamikazes, Margaritas, Mojitos, Strawberry Daiquiris and other cocktails (for around Bt. 400), the bar was far from full, whereas most others were near packed. The whole soi now seems to have outside seating in the winter season. So watching the eye candy is even easier than outside Dick Quote
Guest lonelywombat Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 As requested by you, I have posted to the Twilight thread the post by adman on the bars in BK and Pattaya, from sawatdee forum. It is the most up to date and complete report I have seen for some time. With no B*******T http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/6548-original-twilight-bar-bangkok/page__st__80 Quote
TotallyOz Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I have been there a few times on recent visits and always had a good time. The eye candy is pretty amazing IMHO. I also found several of the waiters at Telephone and Balcony very sexy. Do these guys regularly go off with customers? Quote
farangyai Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I am happy you enjoyed my post and am honored that you went to the trouble to cut and paste it. I hesitated about posting it this year on any of the forums but felt at least some got some useful information from it. Two years ago, I even had one of the Thai Gay mags PM me and ask if they could reprint it. I declined. I write my impressions through my paradigm and try to avoid too many adjectives. But I caution everyone that my filter may be different than your own. Things can vary tremendously night to night for unknown (to me) reasons so it is always best to check out things yourself. I have read through many of the posts on this forum and find them to be much better controlled and without so much negativity. I will now be a regualr reader. I will also try to post a different review here with a few different odds and ends from my experiences. This trip I visited many more things to do and see during the day than I normally do. It reinforced why I like Bangkok. Quote

I can't speak for every waiter in these establishments but I have offed a waiter now and then. The most recent was in December 2010. If someone catches your eye it never hurts to ask. The worst that can happen is he says "no" and you can move on. That's the real advantage in this area. More guys than anyone can handle. Quote

I must confess that your post, as quoted above, baffles me. I don't have a clue, from what you wrote, that which you are trying to say. Quote
