well.. many BM here are BM in the other 2-3 similar forumsWhile there are some benefits to having different forums, it's clear that there is insufficient interest to sustain more than a couple.
There may actually only be enough critical mass for a single forum.
Once can see that from "copied" TR and the content of the bar section, mainly run by the owners or managers
Most of the topics are also pretty much the same (it could not be any different)
So, yes, a theoretical consolidation of all forums would not change much the level of information given and taken.
Might change a bit the approach or the style, highlighted by the opinion makers (most active) BM on each forum.
Why the bkk forum is less attracting than the Pattaya one?
I reckon that, put the social media aside (TF, CL..) BKK has more or less a handful of bars, maybe two handfuls. That is, more or less, the market on offer.
Take Pattaya and you get (I exaggerate) same number of bars in just one Soi....
The FL portfolio is also wider
You go to bkk for many reasons
You go to Pattaya mainly for mongering and in most cases you don't take family with you as you might (have to) do in bkk.
