History of Soi Twilight

[Armando]

There were also two bars which only lasted a short time very close to where Super A is now. One might have been Night Boys but it definitely was under the old Super A. It had couches all facing in the direction of the door and boys willing to start dropping pants if you invited them to sit by you. One boy who said he was a student had a very large appendage.

The other was, I think, next door. I recall it was coloured yellow inside(?) As you entered, there was a little stage on the immediate right and a bar along the right wall. It also had rows of seats facing the stage, some of them couches but I never remember any dancing let alone shows. Very much a twink bar with a number of lady boys. Probably lasted little more than 6 months.

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.
