Spot on Boy69, same for me nowadays, never use to be like that, I never wanted to leave !!! But nowadays and I don't know if it's because I got older but I actually looked forward to leaving on my last visit a few weeks ago. I love Pattaya but I don't think it's a retirement option anymore, the spark has disappeared. I'm going to the Phillipines next year to look at it from a retirement option.

There's no edit button to add to my top post so I will add that I luv the older MB getting a erection as my hands run around their body

Yes I do too, but nowadays I don't tip baht bus drivers , I use to for some reason silly I know . I also don't tip MB taxi drivers UNLESS they let me have a grope, hug, etc

Forgot to add that I do a bit of Uber driving on weekends, it's more to get out and do something than the pocket money I make, but I enjoy doing meeting all kinds of people. My next travel to Asia will be in February and I will go to the Phillipines and Jakarta as an addition to Thailand. I have been wasting money in the last few years flying Business class so I may go back to economy I also have this "fetish" to stay in a backpackers , I don't know why, maybe life begins when you start hitting 50y0

I'm jealous Paul, another 7-8 years or so for me, Hope to go from about 55; although I can't see myself retiring to Pattaya anymore.

Z909 , well put , not all of us can or will pay to stay in upmarket hotels. I guess a lot of guys on here retired with big retirement funds but good luck to them in enjoying it.

A447, you must remember we are all in different financial situations. If I wasn't still working a full time job I doubt I would have stayed in upmarket hotels in Cambodia. Each of us have different needs & wants, and Arthur's & Paul's didn't feel to me as good value, but I wanted to try it at least once, I doubt I would stay there when I eventually retire though.

Yes they do , mind you at times I have been the only farang in there @ 170 baht a drink. Winners boy go go also had it's regular followers, although more twins @ 79 b a drink

Well according to TripAdvisor Arthur and Paul's has no shortage of customers even at the $140 A night range.

Yes same here..there is no Start Topic in the main forum area

Yes I tipped 100 baht. It was a 30 second suck and lick of their balls.

I guess staying in expensive hotels is like flying Business class, some of us prefer more comfort and are willing to pay for it whilst others it's not that important and they prefer to spend the saved money on other things.

Being new to this forum , like all of us I try to put a personality and perceived lifestyle to the various posters. Most times I have been wrong on meeting up with members and they are totally different that what I imagined. Just wondered if anyone here wants to tell us about your life and lifestyle. No need to answer everything if you don't wish just put N/A on questions you don't want to answer But let's start with these Age ( can put decade instead of actual) where do you currently live? Work or past work was? Where did you grow up? If retired what age did you retire? If your still working when do you plan to retire? Do you plan to retire to Thailand, if not why not? If in Thailand what age did you make the move? Do you live by yourself or gave BF Are you a introvert/ extrovert? What books do you like ? What hobbies do you have? How many times a year do you visit Thailand? Favourite movies? Favourite tv shows? What do you enjoy doing in life? What are your future goals?

It's a Gay hotel in PP catering only to Gay men. I stayed there earlier this year and I'm afraid I cannot say anything positive about it for the price you are paying. I think it was around $140 US a night which included the taxes. Apart from the internal spiral staircase which I found unsafe as there were no railings ; I found the staff put pressure on you for a overpriced massage which I didn't want I must admit the rooms which all have names were clean and very modern with erotic male artwork. The French owner was out and about checking on his hotel and asked me my opinion, I did tell him I believe it was overpriced. A few nights later I did move next door to the Rambutan paying around half at $65 A night. A&P is a hotel to try at least once, but unless you are made of money I cannot see a reason to stay there.

Funny how you say that, I sat across at the Ambiance Cafe with another farang and he recalled the " Underwater go go show, was it called " Splash ? , Wonder why they even closed that? It was great to watch. I think it was Kevin's business Yes I use to talk to him on Facebook a few years back but lost contact.

Thankyou Michael

Really thinking of doing a trip to Mexico next February 2019. Have 5 weeks of annual leave. Any info on where the boys are?

Great report !! EVEN THOUGH I'm old , im not that old and can read it perfectly fine. I'm getting hot just thinking of Mr perfect guy,he sounds like a true romantic, I just feel like cuddling him .

Mostly to myself dear , I am introvert and enjoy my own company

Recall a few years ago former Pattaya Boyztown Club owner Kevin Quill had moved to Siem Reap and owned a bar. I can't seem to find him on Facebook, is he still around ?

No I admit I hate change, Im watching reruns of the Mary Tyler Moore show.

I was surprised to talk to a farang last week in Jomtien who thought Sunee was closed,it is far from closed and has still has a diverse range of boys. My preference being a bottom is hunky man type which Nice boys Go Go has,however those looking for twinks there’ s always Eros and Winner boys. Not sure why the Jomtien complex is busier with farang then Sunee ,I guess because most of the expats live in Jomtien,as well as the gay friendly hotels nearby ,which Sunee lacks with only the Old Marina Hotel But to me Sunee still has it,its also much cheaper in some bars than the Jomtien not all bars but most,only Sky Bar in Sunee seems to have higher prices,not sure why but up to him as the saying goes. I also find it quite condescending to see a sign up at the beginning of the Jomtien Complex “ The new Boyztown”, many of these bar owners relatively new to the scene, who think they can compete against Sunee I hope their Landlords increase their rents I really do. Im not hiding the fact I hate the bars in the Jomtien complex,they just dont appeal to me. The barowners are relatively new and try to make out their important and more into socialising than “selling” boys. They are all buddy with each other scared to compete on prices They also thought they could push the boundaries on employing non Thai boys . I hope personally there is more immigration raids in this area,that is my personal opinion only. I just find the Jomtien Complex , “ sterile” or “ clinical”, they may best describe the ambiance there to me anyway. Anyway I love Go Go bars and I am told they are not allowed in the Jomtien Complex. Its not that I cant cope with change,I have been coming to Pattaya for well into 20 years now and I admit I miss the old times,the rough tattooed boy go go bars, oh remember my favourite Holiday 2 Go Go So guys please dont think the old stomping grounds of Sunee Plaza is closed or dead,,still open for business and I hope as Jomtien price themselves out that Sunee can recover especially as I hear shophouse rents have declined in Sunee. A farang said to me recently he didnt like Sunee as there is no eating places there and he is right so theres a business opportunity. I am told and I may be wrong so dont qoute me,but apparently leases are not given for more than 12 months in Sunee so if thats true it maybe putting some potential business enterpreuners off. But please if you are a enterpreuner stay away from the Jomtien Complex,its booooooring !!!

Call it perverted and I guess it is,but I enjoyed calling them down from the stage one by one and sucking on their weapons for 30 seconds or so. Only one I didnt suck was the boy who had put a ring thru his knob and perled the foreskin back in a leaf type clover.,so it would be difficult to suck . He also had those African type big earings in his ears,he was quite goodlooking too,but its up to him,its his body I guess just it didnt appeal to me So i sucked the whole team, If others dont like to see that so be it ,you can always leave and one farang just did that, storming off and shouting “ im outta here” ! as number 6 fucked my face with his 12 inch black knob.

Yes just like Kokopelli , I found it offensive too, using an excuse that your from a NESB is just that, a excuse.
