Now that ''Soi Twilight' has been sold and is to be demolished next June/July (or later depending on litigataion by leaseholders etc) the Go- Go bar owners are desperately casting around in search of a new home.
Silom Soi 4 & 6 are being looked at but they have short commings.
Up to them but we will all miss the old barque of delight.
Tara Grand Hotels just want to build one more hotel.

You're pointing in the right direction but do you have to use the 'A' word?
You don't think it apposite?
I have to say yes but apposite, once rare here, is now ubquitous and thus has lost it's charm like the Cambodians in Jomtien.
The rich millionaire German from Dream boys (who was rumoured to want to retire) has fallen on his feet again.....
As Jesus said "To those who have, even more shall be given"
Give him credit - despite decades of contact with Thai rent boys his bank balance has apparently grown rather than having disappeared as is the normal way of things.

I have seen and greeted the German owner of Dream Boys several times when I have visited his bar.
Why is he so unfriendly toward customers? I have greeted him in English, in German, and in my native French.
But all I have gotten is a sullen stare......
Yes, we Europeans tend to be more reserved and reticent than talkative Americans and Australians [perhaps I should not stereotype.... ]. But he is extreme....
Some of the successful bar owners have been very friendly with customers. Such was certainly the case with successful ventures of the past,such as Coffee Boy in Chiang Mai, Adam and Eve in Pattaya, and Midnight Cowboy and Masuda Super Lex in Bangkok.
People don't go to Soi Twilight to suck up to the bar owner in the hope of a free "off", which is the usual reason to suck up to the owners of bars in Soi 4 (a free drink). Why the obsession with chatting to bar owners? It's quite evident that there's no relationship between the success of a bar and the ability of the customers to suck up to the owners
