-- An Elderly And American Resident here in BKK. has told me that since the recent fire at GSM. SAUNA business in CHINATOWN's only remaining S*ck Cinema has picked-up quite noticeably!
-- Bibi.. --

-- An Elderly & American Acquaintance has told me that he was told by another acquaintance that that particular cinema - LAEMTHONG - has CLOSED-DOWN now.
- NB.: This is 2nd. hand info. at best.
-- E&OE.. -- Bibi.. --

I passed it today and looked open with lights on at 3:30pm. Some folks sitting outside and main door open with lights on inside. I was walking with some straight Thais and was unable to dabble.

-- Worth a follow-up visit, then.
-- Bibi.. --

-- Today, (18th.), talking with the same Elderly & American Acquaintance who told me about the possible CLOSURE of the LAEMTHONG CINEMA - KHLONG TOEI, he told me that he'd heard mention of a s*ck-cinema nr. to BIC C - DAO KANONG*, (on the THONBURI side of the river - nrest. landmark might be the KRUNG THEP BRIDGE?),.
- He said that he'd been over there but hadn't been able to find the a/m. cinema.
- *loc'n.: Tnn. Somdet Phrachao Taksin,
Khet Thon Buri.

hello all, back in BKK since a few days-and the noted that dear friend is still in his faraway hometown in Isarn. As I moreorless due to other duties have visited about any of BKK's hypermarkets: there are 2 BigC's close by in that area: the quite old one at the riverside of BangPakok and this-still fairly new-is on Thaksin road-just before DaoKanong-bus 544 ex Silom passes-a few 100 mtrs south of the junction from KrungThep bridge. A little further is a giant Thai market. As I often visit other friends in Bangpakok=some 2-3 kms further ron I'll ask them. Never noted any clear cinema there seen from the road-so it may be in some sidesoi.

-- Khun Pong,
- Thanks for you reply - appreciated!
- My informant was emphatic that the area is DAO KANONG.
-- Bibi.. --

-- Today, (20th.), I visited THE STATE CINEMA - SAM RONG - about mid-a'noon..
- adm'n.: 50.Bh.;
- When, at the end of a video., the lights were powered-UP at around 15.30.hrs. I counted maybe a dozen or so of us spectators there, mostly mature men.
- A little action noted; a couple wanted me to smoke them and one wanted to smoke me - but I wasn't in the mood. :(
-- Bibi.. --

Don't waste your time, guys. The Daokhanong Cineplex is not a suck cinema -- despite all appearances to the contrary.

-- Agreed; I visited y'day., (28th.), a'noon..
- ETA.: 15.hrs. approx..
- Adm'n.: 40.Bh..
- I stayed for about 90mins. watching a straight & JP. film; at the end of wch. the hse. lts. were switched ON; possibly a couple of dozen spectators?
- All of the seats on wch. I sat were in good state and upholstered.
- I saw no cruising, no hanky-panky etc. etc.; a fairly std. & hetero-sexual bunch of spectators left at the film's conclusion.
-- Bibi. --

Didn't believe me, did you?

-- On 05th. I visited THE PRINCE CINEMA - Tnn. Charoen Krung as one of my Talking Boyz had told me that boyz were returning thither.
- ETA.: 15.oo.hrs.;
- Adm'n.: 60.Bh.;
- As far as I could judge there might have been maybe half-a-dozen of us there.
- Around 16.30hrs. a young man dressed in the usual wh. shirt over navy-bl. trousers joined us. In turn two men approached but were rebuffed; then I tried - possibly third time lucky? - and progressed as far as his getting-out his ****, wch. is thick and of a fair length for a young man, but that was as much as he'd do.
- I left soon afterwards.
-- Bibi.. --

Anyone recently go to Phaholyothin?
 

I'll be in BKK in a few weeks, just curious if anyone has been to the Cinema lately.
I will report when I'm in BKK of course.
Good to know they may have installed new air-con, since it sure does get hot in there, espacially in April! :eek:

Filipino movie: Serbis
 

I'm not able to offer any tips about suck cinemas in Bangkok, or anywhere else for that matter, since that's not my scene, but if anyone of you would like the masochism of seeing how outsiders see/depict the suck cinema scene, catch the filipino movie "Serbis", which had a screening in Cannes last year.

It's a story from the perspective of a Manila family that owns a run-down cinema which, now past its glory days, screens soft porn. The family lives in the same building, trying to cope with all sorts of family problems while maintaining what little dignity they have by ignoring what goes on inside the cinema hall. You guessed it - the cinema is patronised by hustler boys and their patrons.
