Yes My Way was small. I think it was up and running by the mid-1980s if not before. I also recall - I hope correctly - that the boys there were quite amazing pole dancers and that the sleaze came quite a bit later.

what is ''best'' probably also differs for most.
But agree with Midn Cwby as nr 1-to add: In the times of the ORIGinal location and when that Singy owner/mamanger (mr John?) was running it. Later it also moved to grander place in same soi-this is now all built over by a giant condo.
The old Barbiery-along Suriwong, about opposite from soi Twilite, moved to that grand new place in the soi with Golden Cock just BECAUSE it was doing so well and thought it had to expand!
My personal own best memories-but again its only personal- was a place named [King?] Diamond (or so) on the other corner from Golden Cock-changed names several times, nothing grand, nothing flashy, just that I had the best luck there.
No place was that hard to find-again that old standby in times before www; a thing called BOOK-TMOT=The men Of Thailand-with detailed maps and listings.
I still firstly consult the print edition of Spartacus when considering anywhere new and then follow its info up on the www.
The good thing about Spartacus listings is the capital R for Rent in the bar descriptions - so you don't waste time leering over unavailable eye candy.
Having said that, it certainly used to (and still may be) the case that NONE of the gay bars in Thailand were annotated R - which is clearly somewhat ridiculous :lol: but I've found the information reliable all over the rest of the world.
The snag is its an expensive book to renew each year but you can always pick up last years edition on eBay at a good discount.
Oh you poor thing Scottish! I have a few slices of pizza left over from last night. I'll stick them on eBay too and send you a link.Quote:

Yes like all print editions u need to cross reference. Having said that I've found plenty of web guides far more out of date than Spartacus.
A friend from Germany had a Spartacus with him last year. The Spartacus was the 2015 edition, and the data must have been researched in 2014. I had a look at the Bangkok section and found so many changes that it's not worth consulting Spartacus for Bangkok. Better check up-to date websites or ask on the forums or ask friends.
I don't know if gay venues elsewhere are less volatile.
Christian - if good old Herr Bruno's Spartacus is so out of date in relation to BKK/Thailand, isnt there an obvious opportunity for a well-travelled fellow German to possibly carve out a nice little sideline there, updating it for him?
:confused:
