and apparently one more casualty to report;
Iam Spa-which worked in the Liberty HTl along Pradiphat/Sapan kwai-and advertising on TMB, seems to have ceased. First the ads stopped and a day or 2 ago i passed by and saw their sign also removed. seems like Sapan kwai is not that great an area for these shops.

and then there was my 1st time I went out without having bisnis: at UNIMAN in the Koreatown Sukh-plaza. Thus confirm what others have also written: everyone has its own taste, but this is a bit too much tuktukdriver tattooed lo-so class here for me.

a new place-hidden in its aims?
Happy Select-on Suriwong-between Hotmale and Ram IV and on that side of the street (i.e.e opposite from Jupiter) had 3 lovely lads and 1 katoey-and even this s/he was quite lovely0- sitting outside last week and it was all too clear that more was on offer there. Never seen this one mentioned.
Also on nickysgaybangkok-venuews Silom area- is a place named Blue Swan- in the soi of Solid/G.Cock etc. Never pased there, so dont know. Sextile-you used to do the rounds on all your visits to Indria nah?

from the Thai press;
Khorat fared less lucky in its gay massage home G-Home: was raided and closed by the local BiBs late jan. Thed charge was 100 bt for full service-plus the rent for the room 3/4oo for non/with AC.
I have no idea if this was joined to the Khorat gay sauna.

ABSOLUTE massage for men
is one of the new advertisers on TMB-used to have an adress much further out.
it is now in Lard Prao-soi 18-at the very end in some moo baan-enclosed of yaek 8-quite some distance from the main road. This soi is full of constrcution and heavy traffic. take a motosai. this is about across from the BigC-old Carrefour, before Ratchda.
House is well laid out-normal townhouse in a row- but has no visible sign. Charges/states fairly high prices-tip from 1000. Why someone opens a palce that hidden and difficult to reach (NO parking either for visiotrs in that moo baan)-well Thai logic probably.

Quote |

Probably caters to discrete Thai clientele in a location like that. I think we can do without demeaning comments like "Thai logic"...agreed?

Looks like there has been some excitement at 8 1/2 recently:

RUEN KOON PHAEN - Nawamin rd, soi 57/yeak 3. This is beyond Bangkapi-toward ram Indira rd. Do not say i venture far out!
This was formerly Aromass. In febr they ran a special on weekdays- 60/90 mins oil for 300/400 THB. Not hard to find-old style wooden house in an older midclass moo-ban. Just when I arrived, a taxi stopped and a handsome young lad stepped out. i assumed it was one of the wokers-but it turned out to be a client. He had prebooked-a dek naew with model-aspirations and ditto hairdo-which would not have been my choice anyway.
There were 2 boys more+ the reception, but I was told 2 boys were just eating and to return in 10 mins. Hardly any english-but in Thai we agreed that T would fit my bill, a 24/5 yr old from 1 of the Samuts and student at Ram uni. As were most of his colleagues, he told me. He worked parttime and though it was not busy-he could sit in the AC and study. If in real need, they could call a friend of boss to translate.
It is quite stylish and desigend in dark velvetty red-as is their webiste (hosted by TMB-but done by someone there). But in a wopden house you hear everything and showers are not in rooms. Mattress on floor-some rooms have a low bed.
Msg was higher as expected, both sensual and in technique. And when asked he too said he had done a course at Big Bird-now closed.
He took his time and it became all quite pleasant, when the initial shock was over. Seemed to like it as much being treated as me. Not excellent all-hot but good.
Another surpirse after: the msg was 400, the min,. tip there is 500 (more for 2 hrs)-and I got back a red one from a 1000, without even asking or hinting. On other boards the tip-judging mafia will despise me, but I like bargainbs-and there are plenty to be had in the Ram and Bangkapi areas!

-- Far out? YES! Nearest landmark would be THE MALL - Bang Kapi.
- Quite some time ago Khun Yannawa and I discussed just that very point of being far out and the best means of getting there.

And even that is 4km away.

no-a little less, I think you talked about another place hidden along that new road cutting through west - Kasert navamin.
Yes-the Mall BK is closest (I had a god meal in the Happyland foodcourt-across from it and beyond an old dept store-now MBK-like stalls, with a long row of red songhthaews. They have loads of Burmese/Shan style food too there-think Chiang Mai.
Take most buses from in front of that dept store-opposite Mall-toward ram Indira, like 95, 150, 156, 178. OR buses coming from Ram-like 60,71, 501 (comes from Hualampong and Siam-thats a long ride).
As I said-not worth the trouble ''vault le voyage'' but IF you happen to be nearby worth a short detour.
Closest by are WhiteHouse, Ban Kluay (just beyond lamsalee) and a little further out men101 along Lard prao 1010-reported on a few weeks ago.
Their webiste o=is hosted by TMB vbut done by themselevs and quite good-even has a guestbook. They run a casino-like promosyen in march-draw a tikcet with % of disocunt.
