I found the same on other sites except that it cam back as no availability. Perhaps they have enough regulars and such a good rep that they can afford not to pay fees to the sites. When I booked for next January they had only two rooms left.

The "no rooms available" on the booking agencies' websites can be misleading. I was trying to book rooms at the Amora Thapae in Chiang Mai two weeks ago and every agency was declaring that they had no rooms left. I began looking at other possibilities Suddenly, rooms became available, admittedly at a slightly higher prices, and I booked without difficulty. I'm no expert on this but agencies seem to be able to "buy" extra rooms when demand increases.
Of course, Amora Thapae is huge and Poseidon small so this may not apply there.
I suggest Paborn checks out the Agate website and tries booking direct with them. Only two years old, gay-friendly and competitively -priced. P. loves it, more than any of the many other Thai hotels we've tried.

The Agate has all amenities and is certainly gay-friendly. Breakfast consisted of a nice buffet when I was there last December with a lot of fresh fruits etc. A cute boy prepared the egg dishes according to your orders. Only downside was the quality of the coffee, but this has to be expected in Thailand. And just around the corner you have Dick's Café with its Nespresso machine.

I can recommend The Venue.Take care on the stairs though! In-house cabaret show too.Originally Posted by paborn
Agree with Titin's recommendation re: Dick's cafe. Very charming waiter in the morning and their omelettes were very good.
Actually, I look forward to Dick's. It was a very favored spot in Bangkok. My next trip is January, I hope they reopen by then.

Likewise - Dicks is one of my fav silly pleasures, their milkshakes are consistently great ( I hate when you find a place tat does great milkshake and then you go back and its not, Dicks never has this problem and whether in Bkk or Pattaya branch their milkshakes are always yummy ! My only problem usually is getting across to the waiter if alone that "YES, I do want TWO - and both to come at once" as normally the first one gets demolished in seconds and the second is there to enjoy whilst watching the view around me at my leisure.
Likewise I do love their cheese and ham toasties and cubby chicken wings as they are just plain and simple but tasty and again consistent in quality and delivery - sometimes when I've had enough of Thailand and Thai food for the day nothing beats a cheese and ham toasty to get my going again
Re Dicks in Bkk - ARE they opening again ? I thought sadly that that was then closing full stop ? I hope not though ?

Sounds like sexual harassment to me

Actually sounds more like a conversation I'd could well have with a mamasan more like perhaps

I believe their announcement had it that they were planning to reopen at a new location. Much of the speculation I've read is that they are waiting to see if a new gay area emerges with the closure of Soi Twilight.
