I really like the classical music, too, and the pool.

I worry that the place is too expensive for most Thai.

I don't go there for the restaurant, gym, pool, masseurs, or atmosphere. I only want to connect with guys (and hopefully meet a boyfriend). I met a hot one there 6 months ago, and he stayed with me a few nights this trip, and we really like each other. But I met him just walking around (I think he had just come in). I don't think the Thai go there for anything other than to connect.

More likely "designed to put the most money in Khun Tak's pocket".

I just go there to tan. Glad they open at 1030 these days - as long as those Germans stay out of my way

I am staying at Babylon currently (the 6th or 7th time in the last 12 months), and I can report it has been very busy this last week. On Saturday and Sunday night it was really a crush. Hundreds of men - and more than a few hunks. Have noticed more Europeans (especially Russians) than Americans on this trip. The overall standard of the place remains high. No trouble scoring with the locals. The westerners are mostly physically un-attractive and/or behave like pigs. But then I don't go there to make it with westerners.

I visited Bangkok for 1 week in early December 2009 (I do apologise for my tardiness in posting this!)... This thread had made me worry that the "magic" had gone. I have noticed a trend of an increasing proportion of caucasians (I visit on average every 9 months to a year) and that did seem to be the case on my first visit which was a Wednesday.

Yet I did have a great time nonetheless and I am very pleased to say that all 3 of my visits this time were all extremely enjoyable, probably my most enjoyable ever here! I connected with many lovely Thai guys and I do especially appreciate the restaurant, particularly if with company :-)

My Sunday there was the most "frustrating" for me - I had to leave at 7pm and the place was heaving with highly desirable guys. I'm not really complaining as I had already had a very good time! Long may Babylon continue.

You don't miss much - I find that my hit rate drops severely after dark around 7pm. Seems like the vibe switches - the guys become more posey. A lot more attitude. The emphasis becomes getting laid instead of having a drink or enjoying the music.
