I had an errand in the neighborhood last week, so I thought it would be irresponsible of me not to stick my head into the Hawaii Theater (Charoenrat Road, just down from the old Merry Kings department store at Wongwien Yai).
The good news is that it is still in business. I don't know how they even pay their electricity bills out of their daily receipts, though. Maybe it's a money-laundering operation.
In any case, perhaps a dozen people in attendance on this weekday afternoon between 16:30 and closing time at 19:30.
Two or three money boys -- not hard on the eyes and not aggressive. No lady boys, thankfully.
The rest, middle-aged and above.
One guy looked homeless.
One asked me to take pictures of him standing stark naked in the restrooms, and then later in the theater itself.
None present held any interest for this cruiser. Left after three hopeful yet ultimately unproductive hours.
