Billinbkk & sextile - thank you for your reports. While I haven't been in Siam Angel yet, your reports on customer numbers kind of support my view about how the gogo bars took a wrong turn sometime back and are still struggling to get out of their of hole. They used shows to draw in the crowds. As this strategy succeeded, they paid more and more attention to doing their shows and neglected their original business - selling boys. But now, people may be getting jaded with shows, which are also expensive to put up. Still, shows continue to attract what traffic they can get (as Billinbkk reports, 35 in Dreamboy, 2 in Siam Angel), whereas the offing business has been so neglected for so long, the customers have mostly gone elsewhere. Will they be able to get them back?
