Nice report! Thank you! It got me in the mood to visit much more than the stories about big dicks! I laughed at the name of that restaurants. In the appropriate context, it can have a sexual connotation.

This topic has generated a lot of well-considered and thoughtful responses, articulating sometimes differing points of view, and, therefore I would like to modify/amplify some of my earlier comments. I accept there is a difference between bar owners and owners of other gay-related businesses trying to promote themselves, and the bloggers/you-tubers etec who walk up and down with their cameras recording, for example, people walking around the Jomtien Complex, or sitting inside the open bars etc.  We might like to think of gay-bar owners naturally wanting to promote themselves using whatever social media is available to them in order to create more business both from those potential customers actually living-in or currently visiting Pattaya, and perhaps also those perhaps considering their first visit. But as we know most prove very poor at it, and with Thai owners/managers, language may still be a practical inhibitor.  IMHO, currently the best and most prolific promotors are the major karaoke bars and massage shops that pump out stills/clips/live from their premises focussing on the many handsome boys currently on their staff, smiling, and waving at the camera as it passes. (Line groups from some of the BKK Massage/Sauna businesses are FAR more explicit in showing you exactly what each boy has to offer!) But, most of it is fully in Thai, captions, commentary, names, etc; we farang might be welcomed (more or less), but we are clearly not their target audience. I daily check out three Pattaya forums (I am Bi, I hasten to add); Pattaya Addicts (where I have been part of their Mod Team for the last 15 years), the Ladyboy Forum, and this one; I love all three in different measure. Of the three, this forum is by far the smallest, and also seems the most restrictive in terms of pictures, particularly pictures of the boys and the bars, (even when they are promotional pictures). For example, I can tell you that I met this really great lad in Bar X last night, who was also amazing in the room and I paid him x baht for his troubles. But currently I can't show you his picture (even fully clothed), or tell you his name, let alone share contact details (even when it is available on Hornet or similar). I understand the thinking behind that, and respect that (although its why I dont publish trip reports here any more), but it is in marked contrast to what regularly goes on on the other two forums. Traffic on this forum would be even smaller if we cut out all the unashamedly political posts; 50% of daily traffic here currently seems Trump related! 🤣. (By contrast PA bans any political posts completely.) I say all this by way of observation, and to support the probability that our activities and posts currently make very little difference to daily foot traffic across the gay bars of Pattaya; their fate lies pretty much entirely in their own hands, and so I do congratulate bar owners, like Charlie in Jomtien Complex, who do make efforts to promote themselves, their bars and their boys. His posts and video clips are what first got me into his bars. They are great fun in so many ways; I would show you if I could! 🤣
