Telephone Pub rebrands as CIRCUS

[Manforallseasons]

Get with the times - it's for the gays so at the very least it would have to be "i"phone bar ! :-) Or if aiming it at younger thai boys I guess it would have ben been (I need a) NEW phone Bar ! :-) Actually perhaps there's a new business angle, older faring brought along to the bar by their young Thai friends so they can get them their new phones to save a trip to Tuk Com ! lol

New Phone Bar…..Yes!

"Easy money"

There was indeed a short-lived gay disco named iPhone Pub.

The current issue of the Midnite Hour(link) covers the appearance of Circus on Soi 4 and the disappearance of the Telephone. While the disappearance of the Telephone is historically unfortunate, if the pictures are anything to judge by, Cameron is to be congratulated for a job well done with the new venue. Circus is covered somewhere near the top, as well as lower down, in their round-up of Soi 4 for November.

In their round-up of Patpong 2, we see the disappearance of the street-level Midnight bar beer that was owned by Hotmale and its rebranding as Hot Male Beer Bar. In this case the reappearance of an old name isn't particularly exciting. I thought that Midnight was a great name for a bar beer and the lighting was definitely atmospheric. The reincarnated Hot Male Beer Bar, on the other hand, looks like the bland old Hot Male Beer Garden at the back of Soi Twilight: Too much pale wood and too little neon.

This month's round-up also shows how quickly the Bangkok nightlife areas are now bouncing back across the city. Better times ahead, one hopes. Also to be found in this month's issue is a useful summary of the procedure for getting back into Thailand at the moment. That is to be found in the pink box near the top.

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.

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?

Hotmale in Patpong is open for 3 hours a night 8-11. I can’t comment on their patronage as I’ve no need to go there. I believe they have a FakeBook page that will give you some details
