History of Soi Twilight

[StevieWonders]

Lucky S was thereabouts and in the same garage sale style

Nearer in time and moving closer to Twilight there was also a bar an the end of a little sub soi down one side of The Wall Street Tower. It was very much for twink lovers, had a large stage area with lots of boys and semi-closed banquettes. Very much touchy feely especially when drinks were offered. Even the waiters would get into the act. I never saw many customers but it seemed to stay open for about two years.

Then back in the mists of time I have not seen a mention here of Stockholm bar. I wonder if anyone has a Spartacus Guide going back around 1980 or before. This was probably the largest gay bar in terms of area with a big stage and seating in a sort of semi circle around it. But it was not near Soi Twilight. It was in a large Thai house near the park end of now up market Lang Suan. A tout took me there. It was raining the only time I was there and no other customers. There were only had about 12 boys and they were in street clothes. But there were rooms upstairs where I took two cute looking boys for a show. They really performed. Thinking back it was probably patronised mostly if not exclusively by Thais.

I don't remember any bar down the side of the Wall Street Tower. Not that I knew about.
But the description of the interior sounds a bit like a go-go bar which operated in this soi some few years ago.

Regarding Stockholm bar, I went once many years ago. Memories are vague, but I was definitely taken there by a tout.
I formed the impression that this was their modus operandi.
When I arrived, I don't recall any other customers, but a group of girls were dancing.
When I expressed disinterest, the girls were quickly sent offstage, and a group of boys appeared in their place.
And yes, there were rooms upstairs, where two boys would 'make a show'. But no touching, at least in theory.

There was one in that Soi but in one of the buildings near where that great traditional Thai massage institution Marble House operated (diagonally opposite the Tower building) (and maybe still does - I used to be massaged twice a week there by the same old duck for years but haven’t been back since she retired which was before there was a boy bar in the Soi).

I am sure that must be the one. tt was on the ground floor of the last or penultimate building opposite Wall Street Tower. There was only a wall on the Wall Street Tower side. Many people used the soi for parking as you could park either against that wall or in two lines in the centre. The bar had an illuminated sign at its entry on Silom Road and occasionally guys handing out flyers about it.It lasted about 2 years. I wish I could recall the name!!

One of the waiters ended up later in Hotmale 2.

I remember going to a bar in a small soi on the opposite side of the street from Soi Twilight.

Looking at google maps, it may have been the Wall Street Tower Soi. The bar was right at the end.

There weren't any guys in the bar - you had to go to a room upstairs. For reasons you can probably guess, I made a very quick exit indeed.

I don't think the bar lasted very long.

Memories of your very very detailed posts of what you got up to at Golden Cock (on the ground floor) have come flooding back

I have fond memories of Golden Cock, though now some time ago. Twink guys, on sofas, whipped their cocks out on request. A farang at the bar, having a blow job! I took quite a few boys upstairs, and remember the handrail at the corner was always loose! Rooms pretty bare, but private shower. Last time I went there, 2019, almost dead, two boys only, getting on in years!

[goji]

My visits to Golden Cock were always short. Walk in the door, see they have no one even close to my type and walk out within 20 seconds. Repeat at 2 year intervals.

In contrast, Nature Boys used to be much more interesting, back in the days when they had those little green aprons and nothing else. More recently, there has been very little to tempt me in.

That is definitely not the bar I attended on a few occasions. There was no upstairs as far as I knew. Just a big area with a large stage in the centre and lots of twinks and lady boys. I went there on a few Sundays with friends before we discovered Solid Bar and that became our more regular haunt. I cannot recall when Solid Bar opened but I think it was around 2008 or 2009. So it immediately predates that period. I am still trying to recall the name!!

I only visited the bar once and if I recall correctly, I was taken there by that ex-gogo boy who had a book written about him. He accosted me on the street outside the Kasikorn Bank near Soi Twilight. We crossed the road and after a very short walk ended up in the soi where the bar was.

That's why I think it might have been the Wall Street Tower Soi.

Christian, didn't you once mention it in a post?
