Christian should be able to sort that in his signature

I would rather pay the $20-30USD visa fee in Cambodia, Vietnam or Laos... than get a free Thai visa and be discriminated against by racists in Chakran.... The above post from Chakran (if indeed it is from them) is pure racism and deserves nothing but distain... Meanwhile TripAdvisor reports call the place a seedy dive full of rent boys! Are the foreigner fees charged equally to Chinese and Asian visitors.... or is it simply an anti-whites policy?

Most rooms that i have stayed in the Raya have overlooked soi twilight, they were also adding new rooms on my most recent visit, so i doubt they are to be demolished as part of this redevelopment If that's the case then the new development site on the Dicks cafe side will be a pretty narrow and long stretch, can't see it being useful for any kind of development like a shopping center, condo or even a hotel without taking in the Alley and the Hotmale side of the street

When I first came to Thailand in 2000 the only Females seen in any BT bars were Madam Jims Mother and Nieces Back then they were gay bars, and for me they are still gay bars... which now tolerate women

There was a post on this on FB on Sunday and apparently the original "raid" was a result of a rape allegation at the sauna. There were some clips posted and the place looked heaving with loads of guys in micro towels

Thanks for the pic Jasper My only comment is: Facists!

Balcony used to always shut up shop for the 3 days of Songkran... and it was the staff that ran the premises on those days on a sort of sub-contract basis... I presume using alcohol that they purchased themselves. Seems that this year the Owners have decided to cash in the action... BTW no matter how many security guards they put at the entrance... there will probably still be plenty of water being thrown from Ice buckets and plastic bottles etc... So its a lose/lose situation: Those that want to play water won't be allowed to do so freely... Those that want to stay dry will get wet regardless

if I was you I would take the morning flight that arrives in at 5pm Even if it take you an unlikely 3 hours to get to the Raya, you can still go and have a few hours out on the town (Better still take the Airport rail link, you could be in your hotel room by 6.30) If you arrive at 11pm, then the night is already over by the time you get to Silom... so you have effectively lost the first night of your holidays

I can't read Thai, so I generally look at the number in the top left of the posters to get the date In Aussies pic above it seems to indicate that there will be a Morlam this Friday March 9th and that it will be on 3rd road I then usually ask a Thai to translate the rest and estimate whether it will be a big/popular night or just average...i.e. are you going to see the Thai equivalent of the Rolling Stones or One Direction! The Morlam companies are usually pretty good at removing their posters as soon as the even has happened... Or actually its probably the promoters that remove them in order to get the posters for the next concert up

My experience of Cambodian workers in PP and SR is that they definitely speak better English than the average Thai worker However the Cambodian boys in the bars not always so... In terms of their bodies, in general I have found that the Cambodians do a lot more "manscaping" around their nether regions compared to their Thai counterparts, they also seem to have less hair in general down there... To counter that nature gave them much thicker facial hair and a lot are capable of growing strong beards.... which can cause beard rash and sore lips for an unsuspecting customer! (note that the above is a generalization, but my findings are based over a fairly large sample size!)

I seem to remember a case 15+ years ago where the dead body of an Asian man was found in Pattaya but had no identification. The Police concluded that the dead man was Cambodian. Why? He was wearing no underwear under his jeans - and no Thai would dream of going out without wearing their underwear! Thai Logic!

I would have thought that the Venue was more famous for its Thai showboys than Cambodian Boys There is also loads of other bars: M2M - another showbar Big Kiss - mostly thai guys 4T - mostly Thai guys Man Bar - mostly Thai guys BC bar - mostly Cambodian guys Elysium Moon Bar Question Mark/QM bar Tommys Place - has some shows Plus I'm sure loads of others that I have never spotted or entered

Sinlapin Issan had usurped Tumnan Issan As the no.1 indoor issan pub on my last trip back in January Due to its relatively close vicinity to Sunee it has managed to attract a huge amount of customers Note they are pretty strict on ID, so no guys under 20 are allowed inside... so I am guessing Tumnan issan still attracts the 18/19 year olds It is discussed in this thread: http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/11436-superstar-esan-isaan-club-south-pattaya/ And a bit more extensively here: https://sawatdeenetwork.com/v4/showthread.php?19314-Superstar-Esan-Club-3rd-Rd-near-Sunee Do i like it? YES! Even held my birthday party there!

I doubt anyone can tell you a date this far in advance It seems to be more if a word of mouth thing. As soon as 1 event is finished the banners for the next one go up I can guarantee that there will be on April 18th for Wan Lai/Songkran, so the signs for May will no doubt go up after that Note that there are 2 (main) morlam fields in Pattaya now... The old site next to TumnanChon- where yourself, myself and Smiles went many many moons ago! The one on what used to be the site of X-Zyte disco

Thanks Funwmen for an excellent trip report so far! What a pity the trip report is buried down in the bowels of the forum and is probably not been seen my most posters You might want to post a message on the main forum with a link to this thread... so others can also enjoy your adventures!

Are the ownerships Sun and Moon bar connected? On the few times I've been to Sun bar I've never seen anyone in Moon bar.... I just presumed that the boss of Sun bar kept it open to avoid having a dark space opposite his bar?

Toilet boys are toilet attendants.... The guys that hang around the toilets giving unwanted neck massages when you are at urinal or try to sell you toilet paper if you go to the cubicles They usually have a rice cooker to give you a heated towel to dry your hands after you have washed them.

I know of a Viet boy working in Cupidol & Prisma (Both were at my B'day party last week) Also know one working in Power Boys and of one that works in Toyboys In addition most of the "toilet boys" in Tum Nan Chon and Tum Nan Issan are Vietnamese So plenty Vietnamese guys in Pattaya!

There have been loads of Mamasans in Powerboys over the last 2 years: Jojo (Fat and long hair), Nat (Short Hair), Neung (Taller, slim with longhair), Jim (Butch female) and another whose name I have forgotten Which one are you staying is the bad one!

Bacterial infection perhaps? Have you tried Nizoral? Or could scabies be an alternative diagnosis? Alternatively may be paranoia? (especially now that your effective hatchet job on sansuk is complete!)

Of course a gay MB has more fun than a straight boy... or at least he doesn't find the thought of sucking a cock or kissing another man repulsive (even if he finds the customers cock or face repulsive!) Have you never had great sex with a gay MB? Lets face it straight MBs are in it for the money. Gay MBs are in it for the money too... but a lot of them are in it hoping to find a decent BF, Sponsor... or pure and simply a good f*ck

Jones: Please don't take this the wrong way... but: Could his poor performance be anything to do with the 100+ bites that you said you have on your body in the Bed bugs thread? I for one would find it pretty distracting to have to go with a customer full of such bites... especially as you only ready see them after the customer has stripped off?

Thanks Aux1010 Any idea of opening hours? Do they have host boys same same Pattaya Karaoke bars?

sounds like me 6-7 weeks ago... In my case it was a gallstone that escaped the gall bladder and blocked my bile duct... Started off like heartburn, sweats and ekg type chest pain... ended up spending 12 nights in hospital... and still not cured :-( Are you suffering from any jaundice or darker pee? If so..head back to the hospital...soon!

NewAlaan: Cham issan was on the junction of south Pattaya road and third road. It is now the open air Tony's Gym. My understanding is that Tumnan issan is its spiritual successor (same owners). And probably like you it was my first exposure to Morlam. The new Issan pub in Aussies pics opened around Christmas last year. It seems to have moved 150 meters north since then to their new venue.... We tried to go there twice before but it was sold out due to "superstar" visitor being there... And YES very difficult to sleep in MyView condo with the noise from there... Luckily I usually only get home around their closing time!
