    Best Thai style disco/pub in Bkk at the moment?

    Hi All
    Things change so quickly with the fickle Gay Thai crowd
    Just wondering if anyone knows what is considered to be the"in" place in Bkk at the moment?

    Note: I am looking for Thai syle disco/pub like NAB, and not farang style like DJ.

    My nose tells me thats its AppArena on Ratchada Soi 8 is the place to be (judging by the number of Tags it gets on Facebook)
    But curious to know if others have other opinions?

    Thanks In Advance!

    I guess either App Arena or G-Star Pavilion. Fake (moved from Otoko) was empty when I went. Ramkhamhaeng 89/2 in decline. There are more around (Weclome in Sukhumvit 71, small and crowded; Ifone pub - haven't been yet). Details on my blog.

    I favor G-Star Pavilion for food court opposite and road easier to cross (whereas App Arena is on Ratchada, even at 3 am you have to wait to cross, if you want to get taxi from opposite side).

    Food is an issue for me, Rkh 89/2 has a 7/11 and foodcourt, G-Star foodcourt (limited choice when disco close), App Arena and Fake close to nothing (there is probably one food card outside).

    My vote goes to App, hands down.
    Yes, grandpa, I know it used to be more fun 30 years ago...

    Wherever you go, I am curious about the details (how many in your party, do other boys join, exchange phone numbers or directly take boy with you).

    I have been over five times (combined) this year, alone or with friends, and not much luck (I don't go for singing or dancing or drinking, only for hook up). Exchanged Line twice, but then the usual problems: too far away, no or slow reply, busy.

    Not even the boy I went with came with me in one case, and in the other case he came with me, but was drunk and puked on my bathroom door mat and turned the mat around instead of cleaning it the following day (after I woke up and found him wanking to gay porn on his mobile, he didn't want me to join or even watch).

    I've been to App Arena three times so far this year. My local BF said that it's a bit more HiSo than G-Star. Each time has been as part of a big group of people. Last time there was an older farang wandering around and it got a lot of negative comments from the locals. I don't think it's particularly cruise-y. Having said that, once one of the coyote dancers was very flirtatious -- but I assume he was a money boy. Best to go with a group, get rip roaring drunk and have a great time.

    I didnt' see many Farang in these places, one or none apart from me. What exactly were these negative comments about?

    In this particular case the farang - grey-haired but quite handsome - was what I would describe as aggressively cruising. He would walk around the main floor and stand next to a group of guys and stare at one or two of the guys - hoping for some sort of reaction I guess. As you know, given how crowded App is, "next to" a group of friends really means in the midst of, and it came off as bit intrusive. My Thai friends' comments were along the lines of "This is not DJ [Station]." "Mai dee"

    Thanks all
    Looks like its AppArena on the cards for the 1st night in Bkk so
    Silom gets the 3rd night, whilst the 2nd night will probably be spent in Tum Nan Issan Bkk!

    If you were trying to make me jealous, you have succeeded. LOL

    Have a great time. Be sure to post an update on the Pattaya clubs and fun. I assume you will have everyone good and warmed up by the time I arrive (after Songkran).
