- But the above having been written I'd suggest that where there are men of various ages exercising, jogging, playing various team-games and 'Walking & looking.' PLUS there being two hawng nahms the possibilities might exist?
-- To make a point: I darewrite that while you might have heard of PEACE PARK,* wch. is included in the rough trapezoid of Ratcha Withi, Ratcha Prarop, Bang Nam & Phaya Thai rds. it's unlikely that you'd have visited it, possibly too small & insignificant to be worth yr. considering as being 'Cruisy.'.
- Yet over a recent week-end, (sorry, I forget the exact date - this TOF. suffers from amnesia!), tee-rak & I walked therein during an a'noon..
- I was surprised at the considerable number of young people/students therein: exercising, rehearsing various sorts of dance-routines, walking-around or just sitting & chatting. Gps. of pic-nickers, too. Several of the young men & I exchanged covert glances, much to tee-rak's overt annoyance.
- A couple of hawng nahms are there, too.
- Again, on a one-time visit one might write-off that place; but, as my Enthusiastic & American Friend would say: 'It's a crap shoot.'.
-- From VICTORY MON'T. it lies roughly 450.yds. SE.;
- Google Earth's co-ords.: 100-32-28.E.x13-45-45.N.;
- BTS.: Victory Monument, (N3.),.

I have been there, actually, and it definitely IS a place deserving to be included on a list of cruisy parks in Bangkok: ie., it is a place where large numbers of gay men to to pick up sex partners, and is well known as such.
No one is bickering, Keith -- but if I were a casual visitor to Bangkok I certainly would not want to waste my limited time spending a couple hours crossing town to go to a place that is just an average park, where nothing ever happens.
If you want a list of places where "the potential" exists, I can name hundreds (thousands?) of parks, shopping centers, bus terminals, and public toilets around Thailand -- where 99 times out of 100 you will waste your time.
Just trying to cut the wheat from the chaff here, and potentially save people time, effort, and disappointment.
