That is good news reader, Face masks seem increasingly pointless, although if it is only 'advisory' .....

Inside their pants when I can, although one diminutive twink on stage in Cupidol in Boyztown seemed a little hesitant, and when I pulled open his pants to stuff the note inside, and take a quick peek inside of course, the poor lad had a ball of scrunched-up toilet-roll down there to 'enhance' his allure on stage 😂 (didn't put me off offing him on future occasions)

But will they instead hang onto the Thailand Pass instead, or is that likely to go too?

I am hugely impressed; you seem to be enjoying each day to the full, taking risks, taking opportunities, and with rewarding experiences. In years to come when you look back on your trips, it is the those experiences you will remember, not how much you paid for them.

That roof generates differing opinions. For example, my mate thinks its great and the prefect protection from the elements. Personally I miss being able to sit out in the soi of a night with a drink and a boy and look up at the stars; the romantic in me haha. Fortunately for me there are still bars in the Complex outside the roofed area, such as little JoJo Bar just across from Soda Massage where I can still drink, chat to a boy and gaze up at the stars 😂.

Buy a bottle of Lactacyd 'Pussy Wash' as used by the girls, gentle, sweet smelling and effective in removing odours

I think that is surprisingly positive and it heartens me. Sadly I doubt a popular poll asking the same questions here in the UK would get anywhere near that positive response.

Excellent start, well-written and captivating. 😊

I can only comment on the basis of the few of these in Pattaya that I have experienced. I have not seen or been encouraged by the boys for any form of sexual contact; not saying it is impossible as these are usually dark and crowded places. If you just want hands-on fun, chuck wow, or sucking, then I would go instead to Nice Boys in Sunee Plaza, just about the last bastion in Pattaya where such activities in the bar are not only allowed but positively encouraged 😆

I made several visits to Friendly a few weeks ago in April, don't know exactly what time they closed as I was ready for me bed by about 4am and they were still going. The pictures I posted above were taken about 23rd or 24th April.

Was going to try and edit these in - but left it too late: Friendly Karaoke in April 2-3am morning:

Like other 'karaoke' bars, Friendly Club is basically a 'Host Bar', you call a boy down to join you, and his job is then to entertain you for the next hour and drink your whisky haha .They can just talk to you, dance with you, flirt with you. The level of flirting may depend on how drunk you both are, and if the guy likes you or not. What you are not going to get is the sort of sexual groping you might get in some of the boy bars. Keep in mind that the 'typical' customer in these places are Thai girls, although most boys will happily entertain male customers. These are mostly straight guys working here, and although some may be happy enough to be 'offed' and go back to your room with you, not all will want to go down the gay-for-pay route. If you just want to have fun and party late into the night with handsome/cute Thai boys these are absolutely the places to be and in Pattaya, Friendly Club is, IMHO, the best of them!

Anyone else seen or heard anything to corroborate this, The ban on over 60s for example? Please don't let this be true? Although how they would hope to enforce it I can't imagine?

No pictures yet, but I am reliably informed that today's re-opening of Winner Boys was a great success. Between fifteen and sixteen boys in the bar, and dancing in underwear! Quite a few 'offs' reported and most boys saying they got 5 or 6 drinks each. So a steady flow of customers. Lets hope that this is only the start of the bar's recovery.

Sorry we are going off topic but Toy Boys also reportedly opened again today.

Winner Boys set to Re-Open 1st June (Thai English of course haha) Great news, for those of you in Thailand anyway, Winner Boys in Sunee Plaza will re-open inside this coming week on 1st June from 7pm till midnight. What’s more we are promised twinks in small pants dancing on stage again (no jeans). Technically Winner Boys has never completely closed, although that was certainly threatened in the depths of Covid regulations. But it has been well over a year since it was open inside with boys dancing on stage in their underwear. (Boss Paul standing in blue shirt. A nice guy, please say Hi to him if you visit) Latterly it has only been open outside at small tables set out into the plaza. Many boys had gone home and only a handful were there on a daily basis, some actually sleeping inside the bar at nights as they had no money for a room. Great lads though and some fun nights outside there in recent holidays (I was last there in April), but its not the same as near naked boys in underwear (sometimes micro underwear). Hopefully some of you in Pattaya can make your way to this bar in the next few days and encourage more of the boys to return; just wish I was there to enjoy it with you! If you do visit please report back …. 😊 Until then a clip to remind you of why Winner Boys is such a great place to visit. video-1653821638.mp4 I include the FaceBook link for those interested: https://www.facebook.com/winnerboybarpattaya/?ref=page_internal

Demonstrating a much more efficient use of clothing materials haha Winner Boys by any chance?

Looked in a few weeks ago in April, very reminiscent of G-Star which is should be being essentially the same site and in turn reminiscent of the late lamented Nab Club. Show still a bit toned down with the Covid restrictions, but still big-cock men in thin briefs and soda water. Great for hunk lovers but not so much for twink lovers. Usual small tables, whisky bottles, soda and shots.

It was still 'work in (slow) progress' in April and everything was still open normally in the old bar - and thank goodness IMHO! I am always nervous when there are plans to 'improve' something that I already love and cherish 😆 That said a good deep clean and disinfect of the toilets and the area behind the bar wouldn't come amiss 🤣

My cynical mind thinks that it has been more about money and less about public health for some time

To add to my previous post, I would describe Nice Boys as a 'hidden gem', a relic of the glory days of Sunee Plaza. It offers hands-on fun at modest prices. You can go in some days and it is buzzing - plenty of boys on stage, a number of customers. Other days there you might find yourself the only customer and maybe only three or four boys lounging on the sofas at the far end of the stage or even asleep on the seating on the far side of the bar and your temptation would be to turn around and leave. Don't! There is fun to be had on both scenarios. For the former, in a busy bar, just join in, although keep in mind that the more popular boys with probably have cum at least once already that night - not that that will stop them trying again of course. For the second, drinks all round and/or tips and they will not only wake up but you will be their centre of attention. Maybe even splash-out on a small bottle of whisky and watch their clothes fall off and their cocks harden around you and who knows what will happen. I have spent memorable nights in Nice Boys under both scenarios. I have frequently gone in with two or three other gay boys who also happily join in the fun, stroking and sucking the Nice Boys boys; you can easily get quite a little party going. One slight word of caution is that they still use the wooden bar bins and chits of paper for every order and your 'bin' can mount-up. I rarely get out of there with a bin of less than a 1,000 baht and on one memorable night, I went in with my little gang, left with a couple of extra boys for the night, and my bin was just about 6k baht plus my various tips to the boys themselves, but that included off-fees and whisky. Absolutely no regrets about my bins here, but I would advise having enough in your wallet to enjoy yourself if things start to take-off (so to speak). The management have seen it all before, and as the cum starts to fly, the papasan will casually walk around depositing toilet rolls on your tables to help mop us 🤣 For my debauched little mind, this is currently my absolute favourite bar in Pattaya; but you have probably already guessed that 😂

Nice Boys has its own Web Page and Facebook page, Opening 8pm - or thereabouts, and officially open until 12 I think ..... Sometimes only a handful of boys on stage, sometimes a dozen or more - they are freelancers and it depends on the time and on the day as to who you find inside. Less boys now that were commonplace pre-Covid. No underage!, most in their 20s, occasionally one or two 30 or more. These are all straight boys, often with day jobs, wives and GFs; all 'gay for pay'. Drinks, yours and the boys 200 baht each. The boys are not shy, well most of them - it takes new arrivals a week or two to loose their shyness. Pre-covid they wore just their pants on stage which would drop to their knees at the slightest encouragement. Now they wear jeans, but their belts usually hang loose. If you call them off the stage they would expect you to buy them a drink and they will mostly drop their pants and produce their cock for you to look at and play with. No fixed tip pricing, but a handling of their cock I give 100 baht, if I play with it for a period or suck it (yep that's ok), then maybe 200, but if they chuck-wow for you and cum then 300 baht is the expected tip. Lots of wriggle room as to individual requests. Last time I was in there were a couple of ladyboy customers with a bottle of whisky and one of the cuter boys completely naked parading around the bar, from their seats to the stage etc. Never did work out for sure what they paid him for that, but I think 500 baht? Off fees are three or four hundred baht, I can't recall specifically. Boy's fees in your room negotiable, I usually pay 2,000 baht for a visit be it ST or LT and never had any of them ask for more, although maybe an extra 100 baht for a taxi bike. Your trouble will be finding the bar; its on Soi VC backing onto Sunee rather than in the plaza itself; but trust me, it is worth the search. I have had many great nights both alone and with accompanying friends in Nice Boys!

Since this thread has already gone wildly off-topic I will wade in again. The straight boys working as money boys in the Pattaya bars, are, in my experience just as happy to be offed by a female customer as a male one. Which is fine as the female customers are looking for the straight guys rather than twinks. So in Boyztown, Cupidol (yes now closed) used to be mostly twinks and you rarely saw a female customer. BoyzBoyzBoyz always has a mixture of male and female customers. As indeed, to a lesser extend did Toy Boys which was a mixture of gay and straight boys; in fact Toy Boys makes the distinction in saying that it is a Boy Bar as opposed to a Gay Bar. I have also seen male and female customers (even a family with children one time) in XBoys even with the shower and boom boom shows. Less female customers to be see in Jomtien Complex, although I have seen a few. Sunee, and Nice Boys - welcomes all customers and the boys can be taken off by both male and female customers; Winner Boys less so as that is known to be a twink heaven. Conversely, in the karaoke bars, the boys there expect mostly female customers, but most are happy enough to be called down by gay customers for drinks and maybe more. This has always been the case I think, but especially in these Covid times I doubt anywhere would be turning away customers with money to spend.

I meant that pre-covid, we were only a minority of the sex tourists, and certainly in terms of overall tourism. Perhaps 'tiny bit' was an exaggeration, but certainly a minority. They publish, or used to publish, annual figures on where their tourists had travelled from. I recall Indian and SEA formed the bulk of their numbers?
