Yes happy to report the Circus is full most nights and the feedback has been very good. Khun Tai still working for the Day Time Management team and many original staff back with jobs and full salary again.

I gather some Soi 4 bar owners are proposing a “lipstick on a pig exercise”, offering rapid tests that unvaxxed customers can pay for prior to entering the Soi. As it takes, I understand, up to half an hour for the result that’s 30 minutes for someone to spread COVID before they get their results - or is there to be a “waiting pen”? Since a vaccination is only of benefit to the person who’s been vaccinated by reducing their risk of severe illness, but of lesser benefit to any of their companions, I suspect this is really just a PR exercise by the bar owners than something of substantial benefit to the punters.

The safest place to eat and drink - if you must go - is the outdoor seating at any of the bars. Don’t venture inside except for the lavatory.

A friend tells me that in his opinion it’s less “gay” than “gay-friendly” (code for “old queens should avoid”)

Circus is busy every night with 80% Gay and Lesbian customers. I don't know how it could be any more Gay Friendly. Some people seem stuck in the past and simply don't like change.

And there you have it - lesbians! Women of any stripe have no place in a gay bar. Gay bars are for men who love cock

Women of any stripe have no place in a gay bar.

which is why everyone always hated, rejected and avoided all the men dressed as women that have provided most of the entertainment in Telephone and the soi for the last 20 odd years?

exactly how many "man" or "woman" stripes are required for drag queens or effeminate "boys" or leather studs or pre- or post op trans-genders to enter Soi 4?

Gay bars are for men who love cock

is the only criteria "love cock" to keep the lesbians out? do we reject a pre-op with tits and a dick attracted to straight men because they like the "wrong" type of cock?

and is it us or the owner of the bar who decides a bar is exclusively "gay" and "women" should be blocked at the entrance, or is open to a wider audience? yes you or I can vote with our feet if we don't like a bar's crowd but who died and made you king to decide which bars are "gay" and who is allowed in?

When I lived in Bangkok my evenings usually began at Telephone simply to waste time till one of my favorite GoGo bars would open however, it only served as a a place to kill time. With all the GoGo bars in Covid limbo it’s sad that a whole topic is devoted to a street bar that happens to be favored by men.

I had read that some of the go go bars are showing discreet signs of life. Is anyone on the ground to update us further please?
