Adam's Apple. after appearing derelict for some time, is now a hive of building activity. To what effect, I have no idea....

... from Soi Viangbua

Is it too much to hope for that it will reopen as a gay go-go bar? Adam's Apple was one of the best go-go bars in Thailand at one point; always worth a trip up to Chiang Mai. I have great memories of that place; talented boys and imaginative shows. I'd love to see it open again, but I'm not holding my breath.

Too much to hope, I think. Much depends on whether the owner of the bar business was the owner of the building. If not, or if the building's been sold after the bar closed (which is very possible) then the chances of the current works being meant for another gay bar would be extremely low.

After all, the bar could have moved to another location rather than been out of business all this while. That it hasn't suggests that whoever owned the business before had lost interest in it.

I too have fond memories of the old Adam's Apple. The "shows" at the currently popular bars in Chiangmai don't hold a candle to what they had before (though I may be seeing the past thrrough rose tinted glasses). The quality of the boys currently available however, are as good as I remember.

It's hard to recapture the magic of a time and place. I wouldn't put your hopes too high.

Speaking of time and place...I noticed the other day that the whole soi where Midnight Cowboy used to be has been completely demolished, from Phaholyothin Road almost up to where Be High is.

The show, last night, at 'New My Way' was extremely dull. The acts were the same ones that they've had for years and they seldom bother to change the boys in the various acts. (I didn't see a single Thai amongst the boys.)

Where they from? Hilltribes, or Burmese?

I've heard too that many of the working boys in Chiangmai are from Burma, though I can't tell the difference. Even so, surely "many" can't mean "all"?
