My friend who is fairly new to Thailand has recently arrived in BKK for a month. He is staying in the Silom area and has spent the last few nights drinking in Soi 4. He says he finds it uncomfortable especially as straight tourists keep walking up and down that Soi gawking at the gays.
He has asked me for advice to recommend some more discrete gay type drinking places/pubs in the Silom area.
As this usually is not my scene can anyone give some suggestions?

Thank you.
