I'm sure, but I wasn't until my first drop in visit there to take pictures at sunset - which I didn't get to do because I'd been wearing shorts while out for the afternoon.
There's a dress code for The Dome (where Sky Bar is) on their web site, and it says:
Quote:
Our Dress Code is an important tradition at The DOME at lebua. To provide a pleasant atmosphere for all our guests, we require Smart Casual attire. Attire: Please refrain from wearing athletic clothing, sport uniforms, or ripped clothing. Gentlemen should not wear shorts or sleeveless t-shirts. Footwear: Please refrain from wearing slippers, beach sandals, Birkenstocks, or тАЬflip flops". Gentlemen should wear fully covered shoes.
Re: Where to meet local guys in BKK?
Thanks. Looks like my t-shirt (not sleeveless) and jeans was the bare minimum to get me in!
Also, be aware of opening times. From memory when I last went... there are two bars. The really spectacular one with the observation deck doesn't open until 6pm (good time to go because you get day/sunset/night view). But there's another bar adjacent, also an open air sky bar, which opens at 4pm and is nice to lounge around.
You're not allowed to take photos when you're walking through the restaurant (probably for diner privacy) but you can when you get to the bar.
Re: Where to meet local guys in BKK?
I have to agree with an earlier post. DJ's isn't what it use to be...but maybe the novelty has worn off. Upstairs, it is full of unappealing commercial boys- on the "twink" side (nothing special) and it is so crowded it is hard to talk to anyone. Yes, I save my energy for GOD - Some of my Thai friends (ages 30-40) who are NOT commerial boys, have a job, go to the gym and take care of themselves skip DJ"s and go to GOD. Since I also go to the gym and take care of myself, I don't mind taking off my shirt after 3 when the place gets packed...reminds me of being in Chicago or LA. It is more expensive to get inn at GOD so keeps out many of those skinny, fem 20+ year olds that one finds upstairs at DJ's.

What! Now it's my turn to be depressed... I hope it's only temporary. Had an awesome time at DJ last trip.

I'm too shy to do that but I had a Thai boy who kept trying to undo my belt and jeans on the dance floor once... really cheeky bugger and quick hands.

Hey Dude - Canadian boy here looking for about the same kinda trip you did.. did you end up finding a cute local boy? I'm 22, in shape and will be in BKK early June..
Re: Where to meet local guys in BKK?
I know you said you are not into the sauna scene, but The Babylon after 6pm on weekdays or on a sunday afternoon is full of local Thai guys (non-moneyboys). The Babylon is a nice place to go just to swim, workout or eat even if you don't partake in the sexual offerings. It is truly the world's most posh sauna. Just don't go weekdays during the day, because it's like 100 farang for each asian until the asian boys get off work in the evening.

If you're 22 and in shape, you'll have no problem chatting up cute local boys...
DJ Station is a good place to start. Awesome club. It gets going around 11pm/11:30pm each night (busiest Fri/Sat but still fairly busy on weeknights): http://dj-station.com/
Best area to chat up locals is on the ground floor dance floor. There's usually groups of Thai boys having a night out with their friends and they tend to be pretty friendly welcoming strangers to join them.
GOD is another club down the road, which can be good. On one of my first trips to Bangkok, I met a group of students from Isaan who had just graduated high school and were holidaying in Bangkok... had a mad night with them.

I expect your friend meant that GOD had also closed at 2:00am, like DJ and all the bars on Soi 2.
All venues were closing at 2:00am when I was in BKK a few weeks ago. A lot of PLU's on the street in Silom at that time. The food stalls were doing good business....

Yeah he might have meant that, we were all a littlebit drunk, and five of us went to a mixed "club" near Malaysia Hotel, it turned in to be rather gay around 3-4 am. I am not sure if the bar is correct licensed, but fun it was.
