A glance along the shelves of any Thai bookshop is an experience in itself. Titles appear and disappear almost weekly, and while there are no official numbers of exactly how many magazines are being published at any one time in Thailand, I'd estimate the number to be close to 800.

There are around 60 licensed Thai language editions of overseas magazines . But for every high profile overseas invader, there are many more locally produced magazines covering almost every niche you can think of --- and some you probably haven't.

Here's a selection of some of the more unusual Thai-language magazines, available on the shelves of bookshops in Bangkok.

A German shop called Dildo King has been having fun putting up posters proclaiming the strap line, Save the Sausages.

I wonder what the miserable British advert censors at the ASA would make of such a billboard?

Normally I focus on walking street GoGos but based Thai-Anxiety I checked out those in LK Metro area. I Was particularly interested in Oasis based on earlier reports.

Club Oasis: Over Dressed

Dropped by about 9pm and there were a lot of punters - almost exclusively older guys - music not very inspiring and not a good ratio between girls and punters.

The vibe was not all that friendly and it was like walking into a club where you are not a local. Girls were way overdressed, not that interested in customers and a couple had a pretty poor attitude with one actually saying she was not interested in hearing some story I was telling her! Fair enough but the whole thing is a game and we all know the rules!

Expensive lady drinks and overall not a place to hang around!

Champagne A-GoGo: Fizzier

Better crowd and vibe, better ratio of girls and definitely better attitude from girls - a few stunners - one young lady with a very nice pair of enhanced boobs.

Best quality girls of these three Metro area GoGos. Drinks reasonable

Office A-GoGo: All work & no play

OK crowd, girls interested in interaction except that they are always dancing - they seem to have not much time to chat before they are up and at it again. Hard to connect with a girl.

Prices no different from Walking Street that I could detect and of course quality of girls is much lower.

Overall, disappointing compared to Walking St experiences and unless you were staying right there, not much reason to go as far as I could tell.
