I was there about six months ago. Still in operation at that time.

I think they have theme nights at Hercules.

Does anyone know what themes are on Friday and Saturday?

Don't waste your time. Very sticky place, and I never actually saw anybody having sex there. Just a bunch of tired paranoid looking queens.

I've had some very hot times there. An evening in the roof garden comes to mind...

Quote |

I called.

It's still open.

Guess I'm the only one with a phone around here.

You're welcome.

-- A reminiscence, but with no date and/or time shewn, of questionable value as far as this web-page is concerned.
- Hence it was as well that you 'phoned.-up to confirm that HERCULES remains OPEN, (16.30. to 24.oo., mn., I've been given to u'stand. ),.

-- But did you obtain any other info. -
1. - Admission price?
2.- Availability of food and/or drink?
3.- Naked nights?
4.- Shows?
5.- Anything else of interest to entice those contemplating a trip out into the boonies of BKK.?

No. Go and find out -- or simply call -- yourself why don't you?

Talk about useless.

So sextile, you make the rules here about posting do you?

Personally I don't keep dates etc of previous encounters.

Why does icon need to provide details, it was just a simple one liner?

Somehow I doubt that icon needs your smug comments about "...Hence it was as well that you 'phoned.-up to confirm that HERCULES remains OPEN ...."

Maybe it's the boonies to you, but not to everybody.

-- 'Time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted.' - as we used to say in the Army.
- On sunday, 09 sep., I took a #115. 'bus. from BTS. Sala Daeng stn., (S2.), to SUAN SIAM, (Siam Pk.),;
- Time & fare: Just under 02.hrs./08.Bh.;
- The #115. 'bus. terminates in the rd. with SIAM PK's. Enchanted/Fairy/Magical Castle clearly visible the other side of a vast car-park to one's LHS.; so no fears of missing where to de-bus.;
- Continue walking in the same dir'n. as the 'bus. was going; cross-over a drainage canal and continue until you come to a soi, (LHS.), on the opp. cnr. of wch. is a 7/11.store with a large HERCULES sign and a LEFT-pointing arrow;
- Turn LEFT down the soi and continue to walk, passing a large & open-air 'bus. terminal on yr. LHS.;
- HERCULES SAUNA is just beyond - LHS.;

-- The appearance of the whole area is one of neglect and of being run-down, from the rather forlorn-looking Statue of Liberty in the foreground to the hotel wch. forms a back-drop; the sauna-bldg. itself doesn't look to be in better shape;

-- My ETA. there was around 16.40.hrs., (approx. 10.mins. after the scheduled OPENING time.);
- There was an OPEN sign on one of the doors, so I pushed it open and entered a gloomy and poorly lit Recept'n. area;
- After a few moments a middle-aged looking man appeared, his English approximated to my Thai - poor; but I was told the flg.:
1.- Hrs. are 16.30. to midnight;
2.- Adm'n., wch. he wrote-down for me, is 175.Bh.;
3.- It is still a gay sauna;
4.- There are no officially naked nights.
- I was given to u'stand. that at present -
1.- There are no free food & drink;
2.- There are no performances/shows.

-- A suggestion for the Silom-centric: either have your own tpt. or ensure that you will have tpt. available when you'll be leaving, especially if you'll be leaving lateish in the evening.
- While there is a large 'bus.-terminal close-by that is no guarantee of an easy return journey - as I found-out, (although I left much earlier.),. I enquired of four Inspectors/S'visors., (? Men who had silver bars on their epaulettes), and received as many different replies as to how to get to the BTS.: 'Tot homines - quot sententiae.'. Finally I boarded a 'bus. going to FASHION ISLAND on Ram Intra rd., and changed to a #96. 'bus. going to BTS. Mo Chit, (N8.), and thence to its terminus at VICTORY MONUM'T..
