Yes, I think that's the bar. I found it on an old map from Dreaded Ned's site from 2002.

I remember the go-go bar you are talking about, Vinapu. It was on Rama IV between Surawong and the end of Soi Twilight. It was closer to the end of Soi Twilight, not far around the corner from Balls Sport Beer Bar, just off the edge of the map. I think it was only open for a short time, maybe two years or less. I don't know when it opened, but I was only in it one time, the next time I returned to Bangkok, it was out of business. My Way Bar was between Surawong and Silom, just off Rama IV in a small dead end soi as the map shows. This stretch of Rama IV near My Way used to have freelancers on the sidewalk lurking in the shadows looking for customers to pick them up.

I fully agree with paborn on this. I believe this premium pricing has been going on a long time at Tawan. If they can command these sky high prices, good for them as long as some customers are willing to pay that inflated rate for the stars.

Back in the 90's I was in Chiang Mai in a tuk tuk headed from Thapae Gate to Adam's Apple bar. About halfway there, the driver pulled over in a remote dark area, and cut the engine and lights. For a second, I thought robbery, but no, that was not his intent. The driver turned around and said "you go Adam Apple look for boy. Can you fuck me?" He was not what I was looking for that evening, certainly not attractive to my eye. After I turned down his offer, he started up the tuk tuk and we arrived at Adam's Apple a couple minutes later.

At the same time, pass a law for religious organizations to be stripped of their tax exempt status. The estimated annual total income of religious organizations in Australia is $30 billion. And this is all tax exempt.
