Screwboys is a good example how bars can totally change. 2011 I've had great fun and they had some really fantastic boys. In 2012 (October) the place seemed absolutely changed: New staff, new boys (or rather guys). They are now with jeans not in underwear as before. From maybe 20 boys there was only one slightly interesting for me. All boys seemed bored and not interested to present themself for customers. Nevertheless should you give screwboys a try as it is different to the usual soi twilight bars. Maybe they changed now to the better again.

Some people find bar hopping on Soi 4 expensive and it can be. I drink water or diet coke and I bargain outside. I will go in if you charge me 200 for a water. They almost inevitably say ok. Also I like sitting at the outside bars and I try to get there before 7:30pm. I pay less than 100 baht for my water or diet coke and watch the boys arrive from one side of the soi.

Neal, I think you are a little confused. Soi 4 is on Silom and not at all expensive --- average price for water or Diet Coke is between 50 and 70 Baht. Certainly good for sitting outside and watching the world go by.
In fact the bars on Soi 4 often stage events -- for example Balcony Pub is giving a free Chinese New Year "Bar-B-Q" on Sunday afternoon for it's Lifetime Members.
I think that you might be referring to Soi Twilight which is on Suriwong Road. Certainly there, you can sit outside at Hotmale or Banana bar or at Wirat's (ex Solid manager) bar at the other end of that soi near to Classic boys and drink for about a hundred Baht per drink.
Finally, I haven't been to Screw Boys since it changed hands and Pond (Pong?), the boss for years in it's various locations, is no longer in charge.

P.S. I forgot to mention that last night (Friday -- from about 22:00) I was in Silom Soi 4, Patpong 2 and Suriwong Soi Twilight.
Soi 4 was packed solid ---nary a seat to be had in most bars. Patpong 2 seemed rather subdued -- a few farang at each of the outside lady bars. Soi Twilight was quiet ----- sad to see; it should be bustling at this busy weekend especially as this soi is known for it's Asian visitors..

OK I was trying to talk about Soi Twilight and thought its proper name was Soi 4. I like to sit at the outside bars on Soi Twilight as inside the bars it is like 350 for a coke or water.

I could be wrong of course, but I always believed his name to be PORN - and that was since he was a working boy himself!

I like the corner 7-11 even better where a soda water is 8 baht.

It's people like you coming here and throwing your money around that make things expensive for those of us who have to live on fixed incomes. You can get it in TOPS for 6 baht 50 satang.

I realise the last 2 comments were made in jest...but the whole post bothers me...we keep complaining that a soi or an area (like sunee) is dying yet balk at supporting it...bit like all the western multi-nationals who outsource all the good blue collar jobs to China then express surprise at unemployment back home and the corrsponding drop in sales....hello!!

Well is that the comment that should be made by one who encourages the "prossies" to be paid 300 - 500 baht? Just a thought. As far as the comment that was addressed to me earlier, I don't begrudge a bar from making a fair and equitable profit. Certainly I was also in that position at one time but when a water is 6 baht a fair and equitable profit is 100 - 150, no? Surely 300 - 350 is unbelievable and that is very similar to your comment about out sourcing. If you charge 300 - 350 for a water or Coke can you really justify giving hell to the people who are willing to pay 100 baht at an open air bar and scout the boys as they go past? I don't think so and as a previous bar owner I think what I feel should have a wee bit more credibility, no?
