Any news about the old Robinson corner at the junction of Suriwong Road? There used to be some very good street trade there and some nice late night takeaway guys.

Sorry I don't know what that corner is called now as I haven't been to BKK in three or four years. I am planning to come in either two weeks' time (if I can get the time off) or April next year and would like to know if anyone's had any luck there recently, however.

I routinely walk around the block Silom - Rama IV - Suriwong - Patpong after midnight -- and it seems like you see the same guys over and over again, and they're not really into pleasing. I'd say they really hang out on darker Rama IV more than Suriwong. I've seen some underage guys on Suriwong but I wouldn't trust them--they seem like total scammers. And I heard there are undercover cops walking around, too--so I think the hustlers are a little hesitant to stand around too long in one place.

-- No news!
- 'Used to be.', (the penalty of becoming older, I fear.), are les mots justes..
- Personally, and although I talk with several of the boyz who hang-around from the olde ROBINSON'S to CHARN ISSARA TWR., I would prefer not to invite them to join me - even in a short-time room.
- Maybe olde age has rendered me MORE cautious?

-- Y'day., 30th., evening I went to BIG C - R'DAMRI. to conclude some business, wch. was despatched soon enoigh.
- A'wards. I cruised-around all of the usual places; apart from a young looking man displaying a c'cised. cock generally there was little enough to catch and/or to hold my att'n.. Quite a fair number of other men there from say just after 17.oo.hrs. until not long after 18.oo.hrs. - then v. few.
- The a/m. young looking man & I met over a cup of coffee & a donut: he hails from the RP., is here on a four months' visa and lives on his own somewhere along Tnn. Sathorn. He lamented on the difficulty of finding like-minded companions; he had not heard of BABYLON SAUNA, for wch. I drew and gave him dir'ns..

-- Anyway, the main point is to alert other cruisers to a newer type of Sec. Gds. on duty there: wearing dk. blue wind-cheaters with RAJDAMRI TEAM embroidered on the back, over tan colored trousers.
- Stay alert: we need MORE lerts - ha!

Does a'm mean american?--and what does RP mean? Odd that he never heard of Babylon. Also, there are a lot of other saunas--I wonder if he ever heard of any saunas? And what does "like minded" companions mean? He has trouble meeting other farangs who are looking for Thai? Odd dude . . .

1.- Above-mentioned;
2.- Republic of the Philipines;
3.- Agreed;
4.- I do not know as he did not elaborate - 'like minded.' were the words used by him.

Thanks for the update, Sextile and Wantasian. I have been getting my Thai fun during short weekend jaunts to Hatyai for the last few years and haven't had the chance to come north for a long time now.
