The RSS thing I have not looked into and will check into it. There are 2 feeds. one for venues and one for reviews. I am not sure how to manage the changes to venues which given I don't think there will be many I probably won't work on that one. The blog was always an extension of the bar business for us. Then it got bigger than the bar so to speak. But we see the importance of keep it gong. The guide is using a subset of some stuff we have been working on. Problem with the stuff related to the naughty nightlife is there is no real money in it. With google pulling ads - the easy money is gone. Using other ad systems is doable but pays very little. I have messed with some adult ad systems but they are so bad and do popovers, popunders and so on. So what am i trying to say here? There seems to be very little money in this game once u have adult focused content. So right now we are exploring some options and will keep things going and will prioritize tech requests as we go. Right now as more comments get fed into the system it will tell you who is a frequent commenter or not. thanks for using the guide though and taking time to comment. bkk - great feedback. thanks. these are on the list but require some hacking.

(ideally a link next to their name saying something like "other reviews by this reviewer"). over time, there are some opinions i trust more than others and it would be great to know other places reviewed/recommended by the same person instead of having to click through all the reviews. reason i bring this up now is that with not many reviews up it's not too hard to click through them all but at some point past critical mass i'm sure it will be a real slog to go through them all to find the same reviewer. the other thing concerns the rss feed which i use to track any new additions to the site. thank you for adding this but would it be possible for a header on each entry to distinguish between say "added venue, added review, updated venue etc". maybe something short like "ADDED" "REVIEWED" "UPDATED". other than that, kudos on the guide. i think this is a big step forward to aggregating all info into one place with user reviews. smitty: would it be possible to be able to see ‘other reviews’ by a certain reviewer on the guide.

the other thing concerns the rss feed which i use to track any new additions to the site. thank you for adding this but would it be possible for a header on each entry to distinguish between say “added venue, added review, updated venue etc”. maybe something short like “ADDED” “REVIEWED” “UPDATED”.

However, it is one of the very few places with 100% naked (well, let them keep their shoes on) go-go girls. Call me weird but that's how I like to see them! ;) See-thru thingies of other bars just don't do it for me and the nip-stars are a complete turn-off. I guess I'm not the only pervert here since, as you said, Long Gun is usually packed! BTW, My first post here, thanks for a great site! I agree on what you wrote about Long Gun.

I think this may fit the TG's Thai boyfriend stereotype more. :) phoenix: The “sleeping it off” part fits me to a tee but the TG usually sleeps it off more than I do.

U will see some funny shit that way. cl - 4-5 years ago long gun was the bomb but too me it has only gone downhill. more attitude, less hotties and the place needs a refit so bad. I do not think there are any ladyboy bars on cowboy. fyi. c - thanks. if you hover over the arrived from link in the live traffic feed you will see what people typed into the search engine.

A perfect description of "gigolo/pimp" derived from the natural world. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=141908 Hey pmmp, just found this blog commentary about the Thai word for “pimp”, “Maeng daa”:
