-- Availing of my BANGKOK BUS GUIDE - ISBN.: 9-786169-018926 - I see that from Si Lom rd./Phat Pong loc'n., and as the proverbial crow flies -
1.- I SPA. is approx. 10M. away;
2.- HERCULES SAUNA is some 13M. distant.

-- Incl. herebelow some data for HERCULES SAUNA:
1.- Address: 91/914, Seri Thai rd., Siam Park ave., Siam Park*,
Khet Khan Na Ya.;
2.- Tel.: (02)-919 9603-04.;
3.- Hrs.: 16.-24.oo.;
4. - The flg. 'buses. terminate at SIAM PK.: 17., 25., 60., 71., 96., 168. & 519.; the 115., wch. runs along Si Lom rd., is shewn as terminating nearby.
5.- As at 26 may 2012. > Travel Gay Asia – Asia's best gay hotels, bars, saunas, spas & more. < shewed HERCULES SAUNA as being OPEN; (but, as one learns, many such places OPEN and CLOSE with scant notice and often overnight!),.

-- From memory SIAM PK. is - or was - a popular & outdoors' amusement centre; but I believe that it had problems related to safety of some of its amusements like the Big Dipper?

I went a few times a couple years ago...there were some twinks but definitely a place that's more like a social club for locals. No sex going on really, and very sticky too. I never felt welcome at Hercules. Best to miss on this one.

Funny, I always felt welcome at Hercules. Even took part in sex show with go go boy. Free food. Yes, it is very local and you need to take care if walking down the soi of dogs. However,I have not been there for 3 years.

and yet another new venua in the Silom area-me myself arrived back here in BKk few days ago, these are from Thai mags.
Jclub in soi Decho-off Silom (right hand side). Special price for oil-1hr just 500.
More news about outer places:
Ima Spa-in Liberty HTL, Sapan Kwai seems to have changed hands again and is now TheNine-advertises on TMB. Seems to have hugely redone and improved.
There was a NINE msg in Sukhumvit-31, donot know if that is still alive or it has moved.
MAR Spa (of ChMai) had 2 BKK-locations, one in LardPrao 94-this has also changed and is now Model relax. Its quite far in some subsoi. The other MAR was in Sukhumvit 61-(near Ekamai) dont know if that survives.
Several have stopped advertising, incl Handsome and White House (of BIRD's fame- a few years ago), again not sure if that is now closed or not. I'll have to visit bangkapi anyway next week, I'll try to check.
And from a short walk around the Silom area-around 21.oo:
Bussara had only females sitting outside. Prime looked as good as dead-or maybe all boys engaged?
The once long time venue of our dear sextile-opposite Tawan, beside that new place HE, tried to lure me in for a 150 bt msg-surely a bargain for that area. Proud 66 had just 1 near asleep notverypretty guy sitting outside.

1.Jclub in soi decho is confirmed. had an ex gogoboy at reception. Opens 12.00-3.00 (AM!).
BUT: seems to me this soi is getting into the mainland Chinese mood-and I have some fear they work on that same principle-ripoff and all that.
2.sorry-to my post above-I got things messed up. But is also seems noone has noted as of yet.
MODEL Relax is NOT LdPrao 94, but off a subsoi in LardPrao 71-other side, before the BigC, citybus 156 runs via it. From the pix it also seems that most former Handsome staff is now there-so it may have moved and renamed.
Went to AQUA last week and had a good time. This place is really well run and clean and well-managed. Was now quoted 450 bt/1 hr-but the room was bare, with just a table and clock-which did not work.
A said he was from Loei (which I still doubt) spoke good americanish and did a good msg too-working slowly upward. When he was at the middle region, he suddenyl started all kinds of other gropes-and then asked: you like this? further-you like this? etc and it went on. Funny and arousing indeed. I guess you miss that if you preorder anything. His 11th finger also poked strong and kept this all the time. Alas one cannot have it all-format was also not much more as a normal finger.
But again it proved itsnot just size etc that makes things pleasant.

Quote |

for the record then-seems its only me to keep this alive.
Handsome has closed
M31-in a suboi off Sukhumvit 31 has closed-monthes ago.
White House-the signs are all on, but the porch is unkempt and it looks about deserted. In same row is Mango massage-looks much like the Mango society and TMB site-but site turns out to offer ladies for japanese-at high prices. It seems this area of Bangkapi is falling down into pieces pretty soon-abandoned and neglected.
New kid; ClubM (adv on gthai)_in Phahonyotin soi 27-thats just before the Ratchyotin crossing, for now low intro-prcies (oil msg 300/hr).

Quote |

now at least on this site one can tell if a place is s..t-those other boards all fear too much their potential advertisers. This was my hopeful round around the Bong Kai/Ram IV-Suan Plu venues, normal weekday evening.
Pholand/Magic Hand was already visited by me-bad note.
LOM Choey-just 2 elder guys, not very appealing, with another one doing the feet of a white lady, all rates new adapted and unclear to see.
Left without service.
Across that road are the places in that parking lot of 2-3 pinkish large flats. T-candle has always been reported on as mainly massage only-that was not my idea of fun this time.
Sanctuary advertsies with ''the new shower'' and had high prices (I think it was a whopping 700/hr-more as Hero). Meagre offers for staff available. Left.
Only later I discovered that the 3d place-Sawasdeekrab-was 1 floor higher, thus was missed by me.
At that side of road-by the busy busstop, is a place named Thai candle- which looked more promising re how the lads-and lads only-were lying there waiting for custom. Perhaps set up to confuse with that T-candle or so. Hopped on the bus to Aqua and hit a nice old flame.
Now I have no big wishes nor am I just looking for the best looking guy ever (they wont do anything after all anyway), but this was near appalling. Must nearly feel like that shameful Mack once was.
So I now mainly stick to the tried and tested- do not want to risk too much money to throw away without getting much. So not much news from me also.

some time ago I mentioned LardPrao soi 1 as promising-a new Onnut-77. So I went back recently to check-and found that most msg places had closed there. No need to rush thus. Again an area that seems to Burmese-fy rapidly.
Along Phatburi Rd-near King Phet (just west of Phyathai-ARL link) are more+more msg places opening up-mostly very str8 and aiming the many new HTLs opening up along there. Later in the eve pretty girls offered special oil msg for you-to me. Alas-as of now not that many hensum guys to be seen yet there.

Quote |

and another new one in soi Hotmail (named fucksoi by some foul-mouthed contributor elsewhere):
CHAAY massage, in the old 5*=haa dao building (signs is taken off, blue/yellow still there), says to open 24 hrs.
Along Silom-beside Sukhothai is PLAYBOY- only male crew, rather mixed but some pretty faces, with a more as intimate handstroke and that when I got their leaflet. I think dear sextile has mentioned same -too lazy to scroll down and check that.

Went to Playboy last night. Small cubicles with curtains at front. Boy stripped of completely naked at start of massage. Had less than 10 mins massage before he asked me to turn over. 5 mins after that gave full service with out asking how much I was going to pay.

Last week very good time at JEY spa-Sukhumvit 41. You choose from a book-but I had walked past and saw the guys in the garden. Name was (yet another) BANK- a 26/7 yr old from Nakorn Phanom near the Mekong, bit of a Thai hunk-a little past his prime, as befits an Isany with a sakyant tattoo on upperback. he worked there for over 1 yr-and before also at the old Albury.
Program went other as usual and this set me on the wrong feet.
Started with very good and deep-tissue like lower leg, lasted so long that I thought we never get the end (1 hr ordered). Then upper leg changed and did both long sensual strokes-WhiteHOuse style and more deep kneeding, by that time his shirt+short had fallen off. I liked it, but he started to hiss and make sounds like in a 3d rate poh-movie. He tried again to start the serious play, but then I thought-so quick and nearly finish. But nature had its way and after the deed was done, he took a short shower(cold) and then came back and just went on where he had left- a very sensual back massage, more like an afterplay, which you hardly ever get. Then slowly back to other leg and even the last minutes front. Around minute 50 he whispered//asked: 1more? You order more time? But alas, thats more for younger guys as me. He ended at minute 59-counted from after the shower.
Showers there are Bali-style attached outside-hat means mosquitos. After you get fruit, cold water and hot ginger tea. 1 hr is 500-min tip also 500 (still!)
