Me again. I don't think much of the Saphan Kwauy cinema. I know it is 4 years since my last visit but it was soooo dark that it was difficult to move around. Ladyboys are not my scene and they seem to dominate there. Will have to try Chinatown and Hawaii cinemas. I went for a walk to Soi Elizabeth Hotel but found Adonis sauna (went there 20 yrs ago) closed and locked. Elizabeth hotel in a time warp from 1980s, all dark wood and I am sure original fittings. Had some sort of conference with all the Thai men wearing what to me were scouts scarves. Could not see any remains of Pradipat cinema. I went there (in 1980s when my eyes were better, I guess). Last visit ended with snarling dogs stopping me in the soi. It was really cavernous. At least the films there gave some light but the one today had a kind of negative quality so that it threw little light out to the seating area.
