i suppose this could have just as well been posted in the current running thread on ageing and changing desires. From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon The Jomtien pride carnival last weekend displayed the resort’s sexual diversity in all its splendor, not to say feathers. Hundreds of mainly young Thais thronged the beach road on Saturday afternoon for three hours, narrowly missing the earlier rains. Assembled were soberly dressed enthusiasts, drag queens, amateur cabaret stars, staff from bars and massage parlors, often wearing home-made glitzy costumes that left little to the imagination. Foreigners mostly kept away from the floats, although a few waved a r…

Pleased to report that Boyztown is still alive and kicking ,even if they really can use more customers. Soi at 9 on Sunday evening looked quite empty with sprinkling of drinkers here and there. Went to BBB for 10.30 show and bar was packed and I mean it. Some seating is rearranged now with restaurant type long tables. Before show scene was packed with boys presenting themselves to possible takers and I counted 6 familiar, already tested faces among them. 7th was siting outside. It was nice to be recognized by them all. Unfortunately with exception of 3 (all of them from tested category as far as I 'm concerned ) rest of 3 rows deep herd was fully d…

In Pattaya, foreigners usually just throw themselves off the balcony. But maybe because he was only on second floor he decided otherwise. Excerpted from The Pattaya Mail Police said a man who blamed marijuana smoking for his viral rampage at a Pattaya hotel actually was high on crystal methamphetamines. The 43 Italian man faces narcotics charges after testing positive for crystal meth in the aftermath of his meltdown at Chalee Place on Soi Buakhao May 3. He threw the contents of his hotel room, including the refrigerator, TV, furniture and more, from the second-floor balcony during a paranoid rant. Civil-defense volunteers broke into the room and…

Where is the old days when members reported about new bars opening in Pattaya, exiting visits at the bars and adventurous with the local boys... Is Pattaya gay scene dead ? 🥺

From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon The suggestion of an executive of the Democrat party that Thailand should decriminalize sex toys after the next election has sent vibrations throughout the political spectrum. Here in Pattaya, other parties have hastened to disassociate themselves from the trivial and boring issue. “We should be concentrating on the economic and political future of Thailand,” said a senior Pheu Thai party member. Sex toys have been banned from sale in Thailand since a 1928 obscenity law although the penalties are rather lopsided: a mild US$1,800 fine or draconian three years in prison are mentioned in the criminal code. According to interne…

From Pattaya News Police have warned of fake accommodations on Facebook pages and scammers. On Tuesday a Spokesman from the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, Colonel Krisana Pattanajaroen, warned of fake accommodation Facebook pages. These scammers are reportedly using real photos of rooms, hotels and villas to make them look like real Facebook pages of those places. Most of the fake Facebook pages show places in famous tourism locations such as in Pattaya, Koh Larn, Phuket, Rayong, and Chanthaburi. When victims agreed to book rooms and transfer money to the scammers, the suspects would be unable to be contacted and disconnect their phones or block the …

From Pattaya News By Goongnang Suksawat Police inspected an entertainment venue in Pattaya in a crackdown on people involved in transnational crime and people who have overstayed their legal visa to stay in Thailand.

From Pattaya Mail Nong Nooch Tropical Garden welcomed its second baby elephant of 2023. Park Director Kampol Tansajja presided over the April 20 blessing ceremony for the new calf, named “Plai Chai”, with Phra Khru Kittisophon, abbot of Wat Samakkhi Banphot temple in Bang Saray. Nong Nooch organized an elephant-dancing parade to celebrate the April 9 birth.

Both baby and mother were said to be healthy. Editor’s note: Pang and Plai are prefix names, used in Thailand for female and male elep…

From The Nation A 52-year-old Belgian man reportedly jumped twice from a condominium in Pattaya on Thursday morning, successfully committing suicide on his second attempt. The incident took place at 4.30am in Chonburi's Bang Lamung district. Police and rescuers found the body of Kris (surname withheld) lying on the ground next to the condominium. The victim is thought to have hit a garage roof, which was found broken, as he fell. Police cordoned off the scene for investigation while the body has been taken to the Police General Hospital Institute of Forensic Medicine in Bangkok for an autopsy to establish the cause of death. …

For the last few days, I have been trying to search on this site for a post that had a video about the evolving business model for girlie bars in Pattaya, to no success. I am now begining to wonder if I saw the post on another forum altogether. But then, I don't visit any other forum much. It must have been about 2 or 3 months ago, and the attached video was perhaps 15 minutes long. It was made by a resident expat who clearly was in the know. The video spoke about salaries and commissions for the girls and how bar owners were discouraging offs. My main handicap has been that while I can roughly recall what was said in the video, I can't remember anything t…

From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon Marine Disco at the height of its popularity. Marine Disco, which has graced Pattaya’s Walking Street for over 30 years, has finally bitten the dust according to reports by reliable gogo gurus Stickman’s Weekly Column and Dave the Rave. One of the largest music clubs on the strip, Marine Disco (pronounced Mal-ee in Thai) first opened during the 1970s Vietnam war and attracted large numbers of American servicemen on rest and recreation vacations. Some say the original location was in a different Pattaya venue. Marine Disco’s success continued into the 1990s as Walking Street appealed to newer markets of night owl …

Has anyone stayed here....they seem like they'll be small for 2 people. The public areas and swimming pool look nice though....but the unit is only 26m sq https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/865249717274357563?source_impression_id=p3_1681546949_Q6LH2AQSogaeNPr9 I'm also looking at another place on the way to Jomtien, for the same price and it's 85 m sq https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17351697?source_impression_id=p3_1681547102_DY1m%2FhMCfa5pEzbd Which would you pick, or someplace else that you recommend and why.

Hi guys, does anyone know of any bukkake bars or clubs in either Bangkok or Pattaya. I want to be on the receiving end. Or any bar owners able to arrange this.

Noteworthy that police told foreigners that they don't necessarily need to keep their passport on them if they have copy and date stamp or data on their phone.

From Pattaya MAil By Barry Kenyon The opposition Pheu Thai party is the leading contender both in Chonburi province and nationally to head the next government after the May 14 poll. However, the party’s long-standing policy promise to recriminalize cannabis as a narcotic is reducing its popular appeal locally where there are 300 retail outlets, mostly clustered in the Pattaya area. The owners and managers of the seaside shops, cafes and dispensaries envisage their precious investments going down the drain. This financial panic is mirrored by the farmers, both commercial entrepreneurs and private plant growers, who keep the good times rolling. Although the 1…

From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon Although around 500,000 Chinese have already visited Thailand this year, there is little sign that the much-debated zero-sum holidays have yet returned. They were especially popular in Pattaya prior to the pandemic. They are essentially all-in tours, paid for in China prior to flying, which essentially benefit Thai-Chinese companies and nominee businesses which host the vacationers by pre-arranging flights, accommodation and entertainment. Once in Thailand, pressure is often put on the visitors to spend at nominated outlets such as jewelry and artifact stores, or even malls. The Association of Thai Travel Agents said there …

From Pattaya Mail The Colors of the East festival returns to Pattaya Beach on March 30-April 2 (Thursday-Sunday).

The fair starts in the afternoon and runs until about 11pm. on each day.

From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon Police from the Technology Crime Suppression Division worry that the English love of annual fun on April 1 has been adopted by Thais on social media in the last few years. So they are again reminding everyone this week that the (vague) computer crimes act lays down penalties ranging from 100,000 baht fine to five years in jail for false data which is likely to damage the country’s security, or might cause a panic, or could simply damage other people. To date, no actual prosecutions have ever occurred arising from the first of April’s “speak play” or “poot len”, howbeit with a couple of near misses. The advent of coronavirus…

From Thai PBS World by Nad Bunnag, Thai PBS World Koh Larn, an island lying in the Gulf off Pattaya, has been attracting thousands of local and foreign tourists for decades, but this has undeniably led to a mountain of garbage, resulting in an enormous landfill on the small island. “In the past, about 10 tonnes of garbage were generated each day on Koh Larn but, because the number of tourists has been increasing, the amount of garbage has doubled,” said Manoch Nongyai, deputy governor of Pattaya City. As much as 25 tonnes of waste is dumped into this landfill every day. The site now contains an estimated 70,000 tonnes, with about 20,000 above gro…

From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon The latest parliamentary bill to legalize some sex work won’t be passed any time soon. A general election is scheduled in May and no one can predict who will be the next crop of lawmaking representatives. Moreover, there is bound to be a rearguard action by conservatives who believe that legalizing paid-for sex is an affront to Buddhist principles. The proposal envisages that female and male sex workers over 20 will no longer be breaking the law provided they enrol with businesses registered with the police or provincial governors and subject themselves to health checks. There will be a range of protections ranging from the…
