Are you referring to RubyHanoi?

I sure I'm in the minority here but I still think Soi Twilight is the best place. Boys r better looking and mamasans can be very helpful once they know u.

or me? I think he's been around awhile and, as I said in another thread, LOS has been home for me for nearly eleven years.
I will agree with you that some things do change radically over time. Some farangs, for example. I think they find it difficult to adjust to new things and allow personal frustrations to color everything.
The guy I took off from one of the bars in Soi Twilight last week was as good ( and I think much better) than the ones I offed when I first visited Bangkok as a tourist in the early '90s or any time since. And, by "better" I mean he was sexy, energetic, enthusiastic and had an impossibly loveable personality. I offed him for three days and he ended up staying with me a week and I'll be seeing him again very soon.
As soon as he left and I was feeling down, I got a call from another boy I frequently take off. He had gone home for Songkran, but wanted to come back sooner than planned and he wants to see me sooner than we had planned. How can you not love these guys?
Yes, I know they want the money (although the guy from Soi Twilight extended his stay with me stipulating he didn't expect more money). But I would rather spend the money on them than some analyst or popping feel-good pills, and I know I feel better after a few hours with them than I would with a shrink who would want even more money and for whom I would be just another "customer."
If you want to see everybody and everything as crap, then I guess it becomes a self-fulfilling thing. There have always been boys working in the bars who weren't really suited for the work. If you've been in the Kingdom for as long as you claim, you should be able to filter out a lot of them pretty quickly. If your filter lets through a disappointment, forget it and move on. Being bitter about it doesn't help. I still contend that 90% of the time I have a great time with the boys I off and many of those remain repeat offs for a long time because we both end up having a good time.
I don't know how long you've been here. I doubt if it's been much longer than me. Things have changed, but change can be good.
Most of the guys speak better English than the ones I took off 15 years ago and, coupled with my improving (but still inadequate) Thai, we communicate on a broader range of things than was ever possible before.
Every boy I have offed, including the occasional dud, wanted to see me again, and those who I have offed repeatedly have only got better as we learned more about one another.
I don't worry about whether all the bars in Bangkok are getting better or worse. All I consider is that, with very little effort, I have several great boys I off regularly who are a joy to be with and, if I want a change, I have never failed to find someone new that has been equally enjoyable ... in all possible ways.
I'm continually amazed at how well these guys do what they do.
Sorry that you can't find what you're looking for and that it's making you so unhappy. Maybe your approach needs to change... like everything else in Thailand.
