- 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.

-- So why then have YOU not mentioned PEACE PARK?

Sorry to disappoint you.

Because it was already mentioned by the original poster. Had it not been, I would have added it to the list.

Oh, sorry...I have NOT been to Peace Park.

It's the other park mentioned that I was thinking about (the one in front of Central Ladprao).

So, what happens there? Is it a "real" or a "potential"?

Again...so what happens there? Have not heard it mentioned as a cruising place before.

-- I presume that you are refering to PEACE PARK?
- If so then I believe that I wrote on my sole visit thither I was accompanied by tee-rak and that I couldn't do much more than exchange covert glances with a few other & likely-looking lads. Kindly refer back to my posting in this thread #12.; or shall I re-post it again? :-(

-- As an aside I would ADD that the number of people who go-out and look-for such places here in BKK. and report-back on their findings does seem to be countable on the fingers of one hand.
- YES, I am aware that many have to earn their daily bread, but surely not 24/7.?

I googled Rommininat Park (it has a similar spelling that shows up) and it has a prison museum. The old prison system was cruel, including beheadings and torture. I'm adding that to my list of places to visit (it's listed as a top-10-recommended place to visit in Bangkok)--looks very interesting. One web site showed Thai school children getting a big kick out of standing behind bars (getting their pictures taken).
