Forgive my ignorance of the geography. Only been to Bangkok once (unless you count brief overnight stays I'm between flights).

Silom Soi 4 == Soi Twilight?

Because I managed to find the latter when I was last in Bangkok, in December. Had a great time there.

No, different streets. Soi Twilight is off Suriwongse and Silom Soi 4 is off Silom.
Soi Twilight is the one with the Gogo bars and the other is the one with restaurants and ordinary bars.

An extraordinary bar, Jupiter, is in Silom Soi 4, which is worth the entrance fee that comes with the first drink.

That’s not to say they won’t go with non-Asians but if they wanted non-Asian sex they’d be working in Soi Twilight

Hardly 'ordinary'.

The Asians they prefer are Asian women of which there are plenty in the bar.

There are factual inaccuracies in this Stickman blog so I wonder how much of it is accurate.
I ask is this the original Stickman returned or a replacement?

Stickman describes the potential area as: "from the top of Silom Road, all the way down to Bangkok Christian Hospital. And presumably from Suriwong Road across to Silom Road."[SIC]

This would also take in Soi 2 as well as Soi 4, not to mention Screwboy, and any other bars relocating from soi Twilight. The end of the Bangkok scene for foreigners as we know it? Well, when something is already dying perhaps best to put it out of its misery?

Chuckled when I read the 3 year lease bit. They won't be 3 year leases but 3 years less one or two days; this is to avoid the lease being registered on the Chanute which is mandatory for leases of 3 years or more. In any case, that area is totally controlled by the mafia, if they want you out your 3 year lease could become a one day lease overnight.

Rubbish. They want money and they'll go with anyone willing to pay the rates they set. If they wanted sex of any kind they'd be home fucking their wives or girlfriends. And if you've ever been to Thailand, you'll know that Soi Twilight is filled with Asian customers.

Google Maps does not show Soi Twilight ; even if shown, the soi would probably not be designated as Soi Twilight as this not an official name.

Asking for this clarification on a gay Thailand website is obviously the only way a newbie can get the information.

Excellent point, well made.

He tries to make us believe that Dusit thani is disappearing, it is not, it is getting rebuild on the same site. I think this article is bollocks, from the top of silom to the Christian hospital ? that is a major plot of land.

Either way, relying on a few words to determine someone's character is a game everyone can play (and do, on SGT). However having people who can't Search or use a Maps tool rather confirms my view that smart phones are way, way smarter than many of their users

smart phones aren't really all that smart, marketing at work, the public at large buys it. Some spend north of 700 euro every two years, hilarious.
