At approx 2am there is a show outside, near the pool. The usual ladyboy lip-synching with sexy male dancers performed several numbers, it was quite professional. A troup of boys paraded in skimpy attire, then later completely naked. Final act was a very athletic f*** show, all around the pool and amongst the crowd, by two of the boys.
The facilities are good but not particularly clean. The fourth floor has a naked area but of course the Thai boys all walk around covering their essentials!
I assume it is 'sticky rice' but didn't find out because I was ensconced with my Thai friend in a room for a large part of the night. It closes at 6am which corresponds nicely with opening of airport link and BTS, I was back at my place nr Surasak in less than an hour for a total of 80 baht(taxi, Link and BTS)

I think Farose 2 is very sticky-rice. I like looking at the city from the roof-top (and yes, they have volumes of free food up there, but although I like Thai food, I think they skimp on their food--cheap, yucky Thai food, in my opinion). The only attraction is they're open until 6 a.m. and a lot of Thai go there. Warning: one time I showed up early evening and was the first and only customer for maybe 2 hours. I tried to ask them what's going on and nobody could speak English, and someone kept trying to explain something to me that people don't start coming in until a lot later by pointing to the clock. You get 60 baht locker deposit back when you leave (they don't tell you this when you pay--but don't worry--they're very honest to refund it even if you don't know). I never noticed glass on the floor, but the rooms have mirrors--and I think they're all broken. Also, many of the rooms with good-size beds have all-glass walls (windows) facing out--who wants to have sex like that? Sometimes I wonder if people use binoculars or telescopes to watch people having sex.
