This is hardly surprising. We all know how quickly gay venues open, close, change their names - even turn into girlie bars... The lead time for producing magazines is sufficiently long to render it very doubtful whether one will ever be 100% accurate.

Given, too, the disgraceful journalistic standards of most English-language Thai publications (The Bangkok Post and The Nation are honourable exceptions), I have minimal expectations of accuracy/impartiality/honesty of anything in print.

That said, Spice is free of charge and can be an entertaining read that passes a boring half hour in the hotel room or on the beach. I'd just take it all with a pinch of salt and just pick one up for the feature articles and the pics of some handsome boys!
