In Topic: Update Thread For Expat-Accessible Gay Venues

2012-05-17 10:35:58

Given the rate at which businesses come and go here I think you've set your self a difficult and thankless challenge,  But happy to help nevertheless.  I would suggest including some links to non-commercial  sites with comprehensive listings at the start would be a useful service to readers when the list maybe out of date.

For Chiang Mai, from a quick examination of the original thread, the following is a list of venues already closed, AFAIK (actually most of them!):

  • 2 Style Bar
  • Art of massage
  • Barai Male Massage
  • Bee Beez Male Massage
  • Chez Nous
  • Climax Male Massage
  • Coffee Boy
  • Cream
  • Cruise
  • Cupid Bar
  • Doi Boy
  • Dragon King
  • Dragon Pub (now straight karaoke)
  • Fan Club
  • Friendship Bar
  • HEUAN AI BAU/Golden Ball (now Sabai Di Santitham)
  • His Club (The Coyote bar - the Massage is still open)
  • Jackpot
  • Ken's Male Massage
  • Kudos
  • Mai Paeng
  • Maple Massage
  • MTV Bar
  • MUNRO'S
  • Naga across from Big C (Proper name Nagaraj)
  • Paradise Bar
  • Simon Cabaret
  • SpaRoma
  • TGB
  • Wood Bar
As Isanbirder mentioned www.radchada.com is a good resource.  Also, Chiang Mai gay News has a couple of articles about what happened to some of the gay venues here: Whatever happened To...

When time permits I'll try to add some more details of current venues here.

If it wasn't for the fact the songtheaw mafia won't allow big yellow taxis Joni Mitchell's song could have been the Chiang Mai anthem:

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

In Topic: Thai Airways Problem?

Some interesting hypotheses, no other reports so assume it was nothing exceptional.  Only bit I don't get is the association  of "Thai Airways" and "Quick Turnaround" Posted Image

400,000 tablets in 60 days.
If they work 24 hours a day that is close to 300 per hour.
Hats off if they can make that target.
Also be interesting to see where they get the materials from with current semicondutor lead times between 12-26 weeks!  And can't imagine they would have risked pre-ordering too much given the uncertainty regarding this deal.  BOM cost alone is probably 25million USD.

I think it should be a mall. That Rincome intersection is far too quiet and low in traffic.  Posted Image
Absolutely!  Since there's so little traffic, they'll probably build right to the edge of the street, then rent out the inside lanes of Huay Kaew and Nimmanheminda to food carts Posted Image

Actually, I heard the opposite: work is allegedly due to start soon widening the western side of the superhighway from Rincome.  They've already closed down the small restaurants that were near the intersection in preparation.  However, the site I was referring to is on the Santitham side, across from the Jet Yod intersection, not Rincome.

Oh I see.  But something ginormous is also going up on the North-West corner of the Rincome intersection.  Anyone know what that is?
Yep!
