I would have to say yes. At the very least it has undergone a dramatic makeover as far as clientele goes.
I have been going to DJ Station almost every year since 1996. It had always been full of really cute Thai "boys" as well as an assortment of mostly older farang. But last March, my Japanese boyfriend noticed that while the place was filled with cute, slightly fem guys on weekdays, they all seemed to be pushed out the door by a slightly older and much more muscular crowd on Friday and Saturday nights.
Now, almost a year later, and the macho set dominates the scene each and every nght, though there still are a few lithe-and-tender cuties hanging around.
Also, another big change is the large number of really young, good-looking, well-built farang who have swooped in. The fat and fashion clueless dirty old men who literally stand around the dance floor drooling really stand out like sore thumbs now. They have always looked pathetic, lonely and desperate. Now even more so.
As far as DJ Station losing its mojo goes, the late-arriving crowd seemed to be arriving later -- about 1 a.m. -- than on past visits. And the crowd seemed to start thinning out earlier than in the past -- at about 1:30 a.m.
It would appear that G.O.D. is coming into its own -- at least on weekend nights. The place is packed with both muscle boys and cuties, most of whom not only dance topless but compete to show off their gym-toned bodies on the highest platforms. The place oozes gay erotica. And the music is so much better than the same old crap they have been playing in DJ Station for the past several years.
G.O.D. is an after-hours hangout, so it doesn't really get going until after the crowd at DJ Station starts thinning out. But that's happening earlier than ever.
