So, what is happening at Soi Twilight?

[werner]

What is the latest news?

Are the venues at Soi Twilight still in operation?

Is there any definite word about when the "redevelopment" of the area will begin?

I for one will certainly miss the area. During almost very trip to Bangkok, I visited the soi for a drink and people watching.

Moreover, during each trip, I had met at least one or two fantastic, handsome guys from Dream Boys who provided excellent service and entertainment.
Yes, the owner was cranky, the show was boring, and the prices were ridiculous, But some of the go-go guys that worked there were great.

I wonder if these have become necessary because of all the rumour-mongering, speculating and exaggerating about venues opening and closing, invaded by tourists from X country, etc by bored farangs with nothing better to do, some of whom are not even in Thailand. I cautioned against this in the Could Double Shot Shut Its Doors thread started by the lonely dingbat. All this gossip and negative speculation can be detrimental to a business, especially if they're at a crossroads or under negotiations. I mean you will know if a business is closed when it actually is. Why the need for the salacious gossip and speculation?

So where are you? Singapore maybe??

I took those pics the other day and I AM in Bangkok. I can report that there were very few, if any farangs in Soi Twilight this evening. Sunday 5 August. But it is lowest of low season..

In answer to the other comments I visited Screwboys. Not much to say.i also went to Tokyo Boys. Even less to say. Fresh Boys 2 seemed to be upstairs above those two but was in darkness.

Beer in Screwboys 300 Bt and in Tokyo bar 380. Not worth staying.

Where would the Forum - not to mention business publications generally - be without it? Gossip and speculation, after all, formed the original basis for the Watergate investigation and the current probe by Mueller of Trump. You could argue it had a role in bringing down the government in Malaysia recently. It's part of what it means to be an open society, not a semi-closed dictatorship like Thailand

No, it doesn't. In an open society, people would be free to speak their minds on the many platforms available and theoretically have access to a freer press and a variety of news sources, thereby reducing the need for/incidence of gossip and speculation. If anything, it is in closed or semi-closed societies and dictatorships that gossip and rumour-mongering tend to breed and thrive.

The current investigation of Trump was not started by gossip. The Trump staffer drunk in London did gossip with the Australian Ambassador but the ambassador followed protocol and reported it to US contacts. We are, after all, allies. Hard to see that as gossip.

Did you forget that this is a GAY board or something as that answers your question without it even having to be asked !

Maybe sglad should indicate where he is living at the moment. I have been in Pattaya for a month but doubt you are.

Thonglor Soi 55 is his former haunt. Before that, Si Sao Thewes. Both are in Bangkok, of course, as is Soi Twilight
