  1. In my humble opinion, Boyztown is a much rowdier place whereas Sunee allows patrons to mingle around.

    Jomtien keeps the balance between the two - and I will be there in May (again?)

    It is not very rowdy in Boyztown recently with Cafe Royale and Oscars closed. Even Jomtiem Complex is quieter now except for the numerous birthday parties that keep at least one bar busy on those nights.

     

    Hopefully the bars that are left in Sunee survive low season but it would take a brave or very rich farang with no financial worries to open a new bar. The chances of making a profit are remote at the best. If they could consolidate and move the remaining bars into one brightly lit soi it would make Sunee more appealing but relocating is probably too much of a cost for this option to be viable.

  2. Then on the 13 April I fly to Seoul in order to miss Songkran in Myanmar.

     

    I'm hoping I can find something to report on, although I have a feeling sex may be on hold while I'm out of Thailand.

    I was in Seoul last year. Fortunately i had a Korean that i had already met in Thailand on his vacation to stay with me. My observations were that the Korean guys in Seoul have been well served by the many gay American army personel based in the city so limted opportunities for me when i checked the apps or visited the nightlife areas alone.

  3. 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

     

    You are correct about the date and the location is at the old site at North Pattaya. I usually send the photos to a Thai friend to confirm dates and locations.

     

    Apparently the couple in the attached poster are Morlam superstars and my Thai friend was very keen to see their concert on the 16th March at the demolished Xzyte location. I did not see the usual Morlam costumes in the poster so i was not going to bother but he said it will be good and there will be lots of gay guys there. It will probably be more of a band setup with a few dancers but I guess i better go and check out the eye candy and also the music.

  4. I stayed in Seminyak in late 2017 at the Ping Hotel. Many gays stay there and the staff are used to visitors and do not care. It was a short walking distance to the gay bars and the beach. Get your hotel to arrange a pickup from the airport if you want to save the hassle of dealing with the taxi mafia who are in control of the transport at the airport.There are many massage places in Seminyak and some willing massuers although do not take it for granted that they are up for fun. The traffic is very congested near the tourist areas so if you can hire a motorcycle or find a friend to drive you around it is the ideal way to move around quickly.

     

    I had a friend from Suryabaya stay with me for three days and he took me to many sightseeing places and beaches on a motorcycle. Much better than the snail pace in a taxi. Before he arrived i met a few very good looking twinks from mainland Indonesia on Grindr etc who fly to Bali to have some fun because it is safer than their homophobic cities where it is dangerous to have gay sex. They were very enthusiastic and only asked for taxi fare, food or did not want payment.

     

    If you have time make sure you get to Ubud and do a tour through the rice fields. I did a electric bycicle tour which was very good and next time i will stay in that area for a few days and travel further north to see the waterfalls. There is also white water rafting near Ubud which i enjoyed.

  5. contrary to conventional wisdom vinapu likes naturally muscly men but not necessarily those who sculpted their physique but if I was there I'd certainly attend event if only to see who is attending

    There was many muscle men in the crowd and although not my type i agree that they looked much more appealing than the bronzed sculptures on the stage.

  6. I have been to Vietnam five times in the past two years. I met many willing and nice guys from the apps, mostly bottom twinks in Hanoi, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Dalat and Ho Chi Minh cities. Most were not money boys although there are plenty of mboys available on the apps. Sex was as good or better than the paid variety in Thailand. In my opinion there are generally more good looking guys in Vietnam that you see when you are out in the streets, shopping malls, bars, beaches etc than any other part of Asia that i have visited.

  7. He might have just been looking at the note out of curiosity as it looked different to the baht notes he is used to seeing. Not everyone is a thief but i guess if the opportunity is there with easy money available the temptation is too much for guys who are desperate for cash.

     

    The only time i was robbed was when i was in the shower in Australia. The guy i had been seeing for 6 months ran off with my laptop and more never to be seen again. It is rare that i let anyone visiting my room for sex out of my sight since that experience.

  8. I took the attached photo tonight looking down the Dream Boys, Kawaii and 360 Bar (now closed) soi. It is difficult for these bars to survive when customers have to contend with these conditions to get to the bars. I guess if we are keen enough a bit of water and mud would not stop us finding our way to a bar but there are plenty of others to choose from and keep dry.

  9. Thanks for the alert aussie_ I'm always on the lookout for Issan/Live music places, especially closer to TukCom area, but never heard of this place. How 'new' do you know/think it is?  I chat to many of the lads about clubs/Isaan style venues and no mention of it on my last visit Sept/oct. I often ask and am told about the open air Morlam shows on 3rd road, and I wonder if it's been mentioned but I've just assumed it's the large open-air Issan shows they're referring to.

     

    Is it about the same size and lay-out of Tam Nan Issan? I'll certainly be checking out on next trip in February that's for sure. While they are great places to go/fun with a crowd, I am happy to go only with bf or take one of the lads I know from a sunee bar if I fancy a change from club/discos/Walking St clubs and bf not up for it.  

     

    'Smiles' over at SGT forum mentioned some time ago there was an Issan music venue actually in Jomtien somwhere, but I never stay long enough in Jomtien Complex to venture out of the complex to try find it.

     

     

     

    I would say the club is very new, probably built in the last few months. In the attached photo the building does not look huge but it seemed bigger than Tam Nan inside and has an industrial look about it. Tum Nan is a favourite of mine but the air conditioning works better in the new club and the boys and everyone else there had a great time, hugging and kissing their friends and dancing like there was no tomorrow. The boys said that after the last morlum concert the new club was totally packed out. I am sure you and your friends will enjoy the club and the location is so very convenient.

     

    I asked one of my Thai friends and they said the sign in the third attached photo translates to "South Pattaya Third Road Esan Music Morlum"

     

    I believe the Morlum concerts at Jomtiem are held on Thep Prasit road up near the market area but i have never been to those concerts.

  10. Recently i attended the new Isaan club located on third road near the Sophon market. If you live at My View condo on Soi 17 you probably can hear it from your room. The signage is all in Thai script so i asked about the name of the club and was told "Superstar Esan" and another translation was "Artists of the east".

     

    The shed type building is huge and had good air-conditioning although as usual smoking is allowed. I arrived with a large group of mostly Jomtiem Complex bar boys about 100am and left when it closed at 530am. Entertainment wise the place is a clone of Tum Nan Kon Esan at North Pattaya but much more convenient for the Jomtiem and Sunee bar boys. A late night and not for everyone but these clubs are a lot of fun especially if you go with a group of Thai boys.

  11. this is no longer true, the latest version of Line (at least Android, i'd assume IOS version is the same) allows to back up the complete chat history, meaning bulk backup and not individual chat-by-chat backup done manually (as it was before)

    Make sure you backup your Line chats. I lost all my contacts recently. I registered when Line first started with a Thai phone number. I changed to a new Thai number later but my Line was still registered with the original Thai phone number. Earlier this year i recieved a brief message from Line which i overlooked and the next day all my contacts disappeared from Line. I contacted Line customer service and someone else had finally registered with Line using my original Thai number. It took six years for someone to use my recycled Thai number. My contacts were not recovered.

     

    I suggest regular backups of Line chats and anyone who is really important get their Facebook, Whatsapp and email contact details just in case there are problems with Line.

  12. Think about the terrorist attacks in Bali by Muslim militants, the worst in 2002 in front of a nightclub that left over 200 dead...

    I did visit the memorial in Bali. We had attacks in Australia too but i still will go to Sydney and Melbourne. I nearly was run over by a songtaew in Pattaya recently. Stuff happens and no need to take unnecessary risks but Bali is relatively safe. The volcano has been more of a danger for a tourist in Bali recently.
