No cringeing from me looking at those boys - they are super appealing. The one in the foreground of the second picture has a really nice hairstyle and would have been an off for me.

It’s much easier to enter the forum now whereas previously I had to tediously login each time. Hopefully the improvements should increase the number of posts so as to make the forum an even better place to visit for gays with an interest in Asian guys and Thailand travel.

The Churchill boy was later a model in Private Boy Movie and was I believe one of its stars. Spoon - what don’t you like about their hairstyles ? They are usual for Asian guys 18 to 25. I can’t remember exactly how long ago but I remember visiting and offing during one of my trips, then a couple of months later it suddenly closed. Perhaps it was raided for reasons of underage or drugs ?

A couple of pictures of Euroboys dating back a few years. It was a favourite Sunee Gogo for me. Loved those tie-sided shorts.

Thanks Michael for that interesting trip to Pattaya in the Covid era. I really wish that I could be there to take advantage of the great value facilities there. The room rate for a 5* hotel of 2200 baht is really incredible - probably the normal price would be 4000 to 5000. You mention a buffet breakfast which is generally not available now in Europe for Covid reasons. You enjoyed your stay with your boyfriend but maybe you would have been better to use a more gay oriented hotel like those in the Jomtien Complex, assuming they are open ? i too have memories of Krazy Dragon (table top dancing boys) and Kaos in Sunee. I had many offs from Kaos.

I think that z909 has it right with 2020 ie Thailand will not open up to any significant tourism This year. Not upmarket Not mass either. It’s already nearly the end of the year so even there was a sudden unexpected opening the tourists would not arrive in quantity till 2021. i suspect that many members of this board would be regarded as quality tourists if expenditure was the criteria. My spending on airfares, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment must be into an upper group. It’s just that my activities with Asian boys would not meet approval, as would not those of str sex tourists. maybe at arrival travellers could be asked (a) to show proof of funds - say 6000 baht equivalent per day of the allowed stay. (b) promise not to engage in sex tourism. Perhaps forbidding guests to take persons to their room who were not registered would help in the drive for upmarket tourism. just a few ideas - please Thai government let me in for a few weeks so I can advise you !.

Like z909 I’ve had very few significant problems with Asian rent boys over the almost 20 years of visits to Thailand. One however sticks in my mind of a Pattaya boy I had slept with during several consecutive trips and who had started to regard me as his daddy. On this occasion I had offed him 3 nights in a row but had wanted a change so had told him I wouldn’t be coming to his bar that night. Instead I went online for a bed companion. About midnight there was a loud bangIng on my hotel room door - it was him with a friend demanding to know why I had not turned up and that he had missed off opportunities. Things looked threatening so I told the online boy to go giving him the LT rate. Thankfully the guy on reception came because of the noise. He advised me to pay my “boyfriend” some money which I did and they left still shouting. I was shocked and worried that I would be on the receiving end of a Thai vendetta. At 5 am I checked out and took a taxi to Bkk Where I remained for the rest of my trip (the reception guy said that this was a good move).

Thanks williewillie . The Double Shot sounds like a promising bar hopefully for me when I am able to get back to Thailand. Same Yellow outfits ? That’s an innovation. !. I like the sound of shirtless after midnight. over the years my favourite Complex Bar was the Question Mark, but in February I was found more often in the Home Bar.

Yes tight low slung jeans are sometimes a turn on but on the stage of a gay Gogo boys should wear very little. A few years ago Cupidol used to be known for twinks but that was not the case when I visited in February.

Good to hear that Winner is still in business And not yet another casualty of Covid. I visited several times during my February trip and whilst the number and attractiveness of the boys varied I enjoyed my visits and offed on two occasions. Please tell us how the interview of the bubble butt lad went. I’m hoping my February visit does not prove to be my last.

A friend asked me if I would be buying a ticket now - if only - I had to explain the current situation that travell there was almost impossible.

Shirtless Boys wearing tight Low slung jeans - NICE ! Especially when showing a prominent bulge where it counts.

Perhaps some Thai boys return to Pattaya in the hope that things are returning to normal. If this is the case I fear that they will be quickly be disillusioned. As z909 points out a small number of gay expats will provide very limited Income opportunities. I’ve observed that expats on their occasional evening visits to bars tend to sit together without much interaction with the bar boys and in the main keep to fairly tight monetary budgets. This is in contrast with gay tourists who during their two or three week visits like to make every evening count by engaging companions to join then in bed without too much concern for cost. Unfortunately they are currently imprisoned in their home countries with plenty of cash but being unable to visit where they would like to spend it.

No the 130,000 does not include the flight as that would not be paid to a Thai business. You could add 25,000 for a standard return ticket uk - Bkk.. <<i don’t spend a great deal on hotels staying very often at the Zing resort or Ambiance.

Thailand and in particular Pattaya has already been deprived of a contribution to its economy by myself in the shape of my regular low season visit. A three week visit would cost me in the region of 130,000 baht dispensed to hotels, Asian boys, gay bars, presents for boyfriends, restaurants , transportation etc etc . When gay sex tourists like myself will be able to visit again if ever is impossible to predict. In the meantime I have to dream.

I should of added that when frequenting the Complex bars I would be accompanied by a boyfriend who would be “young” (18 to 25) rather than “younger”

Yes I use the term “older” not “old” to define myself. Yes I would love to frequent the Complex and join the older gays there if I could bloody well get there from here in semi locked down England.

I like the two guys by the sea, especially the one with yellow speedos and prominent nipples. I’ve always liked picking up guys/boys from beaches.

Yes but it’s now more than five months since I returned from my February trip. 10 months without visiting gay thailand - how bad is that.

I hope the Cambodian boys are back in number when I arrive for my next trip. I’ve offed a number of them over the years and they are usually, keen to please. But when that trip will happen I do not know - maybe 2021

I would certainly echo that statement Boy69 with the slight amendment to 2001 - 2008. 2001 was when I discovered Thailand and made my first trip to Pattaya having up to then spent holidays in Playa des Anglais (Gran Canaria). Myself and a gay friend took a few days to hear about Sunee And locate it but when we did we took advantage of its vibrant scene of gogos, bars and of course the boys.

I’m getting close to writing year 2020 off. Indeed all foreign travel from U.K. seems impossible and not worth the potential hassle. My long term plan at the start of the year was 3 weeks in Thailand in January/February. The same in July/August and maybe a longer trip in November. I’m thankful I got the first one in providing me with a number of happy experiences. The lockdown started very soon after my return home.

Bar boys should be allocated an elite card. For us gay sex tourists they are essential workers

I watched a video on YouTube yesterday which consisted of a tour on motorbike of Pattaya post bar opening which featured BT and adjacent Sois. All the bars appeared to be closed and the producer commented that it looked like a ghost town with no people in evidence. Certainly the Ambiance terrace Was empty. It has been mentioned that there are Currently approximately 2500 farang expats in Pattaya Plus a few stranded tourists. The number of these who are gay or bisexual who would patronise gay bars will be not sufficient to support the previous scene. Thus I expect the bars in BT to remain closed until flights and tourism commence (who knows when ?). I myself feel deprived of my Regular trips to Pattaya with its Asian boys and gay scene.

Cupidol used to be my favourite Gogo in BT - it used to be known for twinks. It’s no doubt difficult for Cambodian boys to enter Thailand and perhaps they have heard that there are few customers.
