Alex bar closed
 

One of the last afternoon sleaze bars, Alex, underneath Super A , has closed. That only leaves Super A (so filthy even I wont go there) and G.C. where you can get some cock action after lunch. How long these survive is a question. I went to GC at 7 pm and was their 1st customer of the day. Vale Sleaze! (Use it or loose it guys!)

Club Alek
 

I hope the others will survive. BKK needs more afternoon-bars for sleazy sex.

gone, baby, gone
 

Wow, that's sad to hear that Alek closed. Used to be my fave bar many years ago. Met some very nice - and talented - young men there. Of course over the years they also had employees of quesionable ages, but for the most part things there weren't as sordid or outrageous as some would have you believe. That said, the guys there were not usually shy! Back when they first opened as Khun Bar, in either 1994 or 1995, they really had some great guys working there. Then it went downhill and DID have some scary young ones during the Khun Sweet Cigar phase (what an odd name), and moved a third time to yet another spot on the same block. With each move, they seemed to offer a smaller stable of boys and even fewer that danced/did the go-go standup thing. I only two times this year and things were pretty pathetic both times. But their drink prices never increased; 100 baht for over a decade.

I agree with biggles69; I won't even go to Super A anymore. It's another bar that used to be fun and offered a good choice of guys. But it's gotten rancid also. Time to pull the plug on that one, too.

The topic of drink prices came up in conversation with a friend this past weekend. We both agreed that we would be inclined to drink in more Patpong area go-go bars if the drink prices were more reasonable. I'm not a cheapskate, but when the drinks are 200 baht each, or more, I am less likely to pop into in a bar. But, like in Pattaya, if drinks are cheaper, I'll bar hop all night.

Yea, I had great times 15 years ago at Alex.......great fun , great sex......nice fresh boys who actually enjoyed sex with gusto (rather than just trying to get you off as quickly as possible) ......

You know after 3 days in Pattaya and 3 in BKK, I've just about concluded that with the new airport bringing Pattaya within easier reach that I might just abandon BKK altogether and spend more of my precious visit time in Pattaya where I can get a tan and enjoy sex fun.

The drinks are much cheaper, (about 120BT) the boys fresher and still have fun, there's lots of early afternoon massage bars where u can flirt with the boys over a cool beer if if u dont off them, ...like BKK 10 years ago. I agree with Buzzard....I see so many of the same old boys in BKK that should have retired years ago, and yet the quality of the newer boys is crap...and its push push push for money.

The number of bars in BKK has dramatically declined , prices of drinks, off fee and hotels all up steeply, and everything too regulated. Also I noticed that while the gay bars still close at 1 am, the girly bars in Pattpong were still in full swing at 1.45 am last night with no sign of closing. The baby elephants are back on the street....There are lots of brown shirts around as well.....wonder if their "collections" are back in full swing?
