Stayed at the Tawana Hotel on 23,24 Dec. Much better finishings and furnishings than the Tarntawan Place across the street, but the Tawana does not make you feel quite as welcome as the Tartawan where you are almost required to bring a boy back with you. Tawana policy is that "guests after 6pm must pay a joiner's fee", but in fact no one stopped me when I brought a boy in at 10:00.
Decent breakfast. Windows don't open, so I had to go downstairs to smoke.
Twinks Massage: Yes, it does look deserted. No signage and only one neon tube lighting the interior. I was surprised to hear "massage?" when I walked by and peering into the darkened doorway I did see three boys lounging. I was unable to convey my feeling that if they want business they should try to make it look like the place is still in business.
Solid Bar: Last year many of the boys were into body building. This year, building has halted and only twinks remain. Not a bad selection, probably half straight boys, half gay boys. Drinks now 150 Baht, off 300. Still better than Soi Twilight.
