I went to Koh Samet in August 2018 when I bought a 2 night package with Malibu Travel. This included a mini bus to Ban Phrea, ferry, National Park entry and a bungalow. it certainly for me was worth going as a change from the madness of Pattaya and the beaches are really beautiful. I did visit 20 years ago when it was almost like a Robinson Crusoe island but now it is much more developed with low rise hotels, restaurants and bars. i did take a boy with me and there was no particular problems with that, apart from the usual knowing looks from farang str couples. However the boy was rather bored until I rented a scooter for him on which he spent a lot of the daylight hours zooming up and down the single tarmac road, whereas I liked to stay on the beach reading and swimming in the crystal clear water.

I hope that it will reopen - Sunee needs more choice regarding gogos. In March I only went there to visit Winner hoping to off a cute boy, which I did 3 times..

It seems that the opinion regarding tips in Gogo bars is coalescing around 20 baht to 100 for the drinks service. The latter figure would be appropriate if your stay was lengthy whereas 20,would be ok for a shorter period with just one drink. As for interaction with a boy my minimum would be 100 when I’ve not got too intimate (perhaps just kissing or caressing). This would go to maybe 200 if I have held his cock or indulged in lengthy tongue kissing. However usually my purpose in visiting a Gogo would be to off a boy usually LT sometimes short time. I would not give him a bar tip, the tip would come later related to his performance in bed. I visit Pattaya as a gay sex tourist - skimping on tips is not what I’m about.

Agree with you there Spoon. My last trip was centred on the Jomtien Complex plus several visits to Winner Boys to off boys. I did go to BT but only occasionally whereas over the previous 10 years I was a regular in BT. Going back a long time (10 to 20 years) spent a lot of evenings in Sunee.

GGBKK Thanks for your report - I enjoyed reading it as it brought back memories of my March trip when I stayed in the JomtienComplex but visited the Pattaya gogo’s. you mentioned that whilst you sat in Toyboys you had thoughts of a 3 way involving Sophy but the other boy sat with you did not appeal. However in the evening of your final day you had dinner with him and David. Did you not think of a goodbye session with the two of them ?. Do you think you will come face sometime to renew the acquaintance ? you also mentioned walking along the beach to Boystown (from Jomtien ?). I once tried that but found it impossible because after the end of the Dongtan Beach the way is blocked by private hotel grounds. But maybe you found a way ?. Of course you can walk along the road Jomtien>Pattaya but that’s not at all pleasant with the traffic and pollution.

I agree with you Boy69 and have always preferred Pats to Bkk, since I discovered the place nearly 20 years ago. Although I concede that Bkk is better for hunks rather than twinks of which there is an ample supply in Pattaya available at lower prices, prepared to stay overnight and maybe become a holiday boyfriend. Bkk is rather overwhelming and I suspect the traffic pollution is not good health wise.

I’m trying to place where that dazzling neon sign is located in the Complex. It certainly was not there when I stayed at the Zing Hotel in March. One word I read as “Party” but the others are unclear. After offing Sophy in BT how did the two of you return to Jomtien ?. It sounds like he would create an impression on the gay beach !. I very much enjoy the beach during the afternoon either alone or with a boyfriend. Have you tried the indoor pool at the Poseidon with its pumped current to swim against - rather a novel feature ? Thanks for your report - I look forward to hearing more.

I’ve come across mooks before, but believe they are not that common. I think they are ugly and don’t see what motifs boys to have them. Silicone enhancement I’ve not seen with boys. As to g-strings etc I think that gay gogos could benefit if the dancers wore a wider variety of apparel. For example jocks as illustrated to the left, tight jeans, speedos and yes g-strings, in addition to the usual white briefs. Perhaps very loose fitting gym shorts also which permit easy access of searching hands.

I love those multi coloured g-strings the boys are wearing in Jaspers post. I the event of a off I would insist that my boy boy wear his for me in my room.

I go to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital for my HIV and syphillis tests. I’m always nervous waiting for the results, even though it’s years since I had unprotected anal sex. When I first visited Thailand 18 years ago I played Russian roulette many times, but got away with it.

Yes if boys are offed in the early evening, that will reduce the appeal of the show with less customers and lower drink sales. Of course the more attractive ones will be offed early. An early off fee will discourage this. Although for me the extra 300 baht would not deter me if I had the hots for a boy. Ive never seen boys using rubber bands to maintain an erection. .

Exactly Z909 - small tight speedos like you show in your avatar would be good.

How dark is the darkroom at Babylon ?. Over the years I made a lot of visits to the Sansuck in Pattaya where the darkness seemed to vary at least from year to year. I preferred it very dark when after entrance for quite a while I would be fumbling around in the maze brushing up against bodies, some with towels, some in swimwear and some naked. Then another time it seemed much lighter - apparently Punya or his staff liked to patrol to police the goings on and for safety. a hot tub there would be a good addition but maybe costly for electric. There is a whirlpool but that’s just at ambient temperature. Customers are mainly older farangs, which includes me, sometimes accompanied by their young Thai boyfriends. Years ago I used to take beach boy pickups there, but of course they rarely happen now.

Drimvoiz Vinapu and Hank75 thanks for your input. I will certainly make Bkk my first port of call during my next trip and visit gay bars where hunks are to be found. I did this maybe 15 years ago but my memories have faded about my activities, but I do remember offing one muscle boy who I took to the Tantawan Hotel.

Zing has a variety of rooms. I have had one adjacent to the pool with a separate lounge area, but the one I liked the best was on the second floor which had a large private patio area.

During my numerous visits as a gay sex tourist I’ve virtually confined myself to selecting twinks in Pattaya as bed companions. However since my last trip 3 weeks ago I’ve developed a nagging thought about having hunk experiences and have been scanning the hundreds of pictures of body builders on this site and have been jacking off looking at them. I’m mainly bottom these days so I’m dreaming about being topped by a Thai hunk body builder. This would be in Bkk and I think would be expensive.

Z909 - Logic ? Thai Boys ? Don’t think they go together ! could be reasons you suggest. I remember a couple of years ago when I was staying at the Poseidon in the Complex. I contacted a boy via Planet Romeo who said he would join me there but couldn’t say when that might be. I have him my telephone number and told him to call when he arrived. Maybe half an hour passed and I started to think he was not coming but my phone rang - it was him asking where I was. I of course said Poseidon Hotel - Jomtien Complex but that did not seem to register. I passed my phone to the guy on reception who gave the boy instructions. Apparently he did not know where the Complex was and had continued on the baht bus to the far end of Jomtien Beach Road looking for Poseidon. He had only been in Pattaya a few days. So the moral of my account is not to assume that all Thais have a good knowledge of Pattaya’s geography.

That’s true. I contacted a boy from Planet Romeo at about 6pm whilst staying at the Zing Resort and asked him to come to my room. He was with me in 5 minutes due to working at a Complex bar. He was really cute but not that hot in bed. perhaps i was the first of several short times for him that evening. But I did on two occasions have boys based in Pattaya not wanting to travel to Jomtien.

I had nearly 3 weeks in Pattaya returning home 10 days ago. I split the trip with the majority spent at the Zing plus a few nights at the Ambience in BT. The former is very gay friendly having some str guests who don’t mind the activities of gay guests (including myself) and their Asian boyfriends around the very pleasant pool area. Of course the Ambience is a long established gay hotel. I was very happy with both. The beach at Jomtien is far superior to the Pattaya one. The former has a so called gay section with Dongtan but this is now far more “mixed” than in past years, but the sea, sand and air is very pleasant either with your boyfriend du jour or maybe alone perhaps chatting with other visitors, or having a drink or food. Transport Jomtien > Pattaya is very easy by baht bus (10 - 20 mins to BT), motor cycle taxi and even walking if you want excercise. when returning from BT or Sunee with a boy I used motor cycle taxis 3 up including taxi guy. Not recommended if you are nervous but the boys are used to it. As mentioned already there are twinks in the Jomtien bars. They tend to interact with customers more as the evening progresses, but don’t delay inviting a boy to join you if you are attracted to him, as another customer may off him first. They seldom refuse the offer of a drink. Boys from Planet Romeo based in Pattaya May sometimes be reluctant to join you in Jomtien.

Stayed there 2 weeks ago. The WiFi in my room was fine. I’ve been at Zing four times now. It’s a good choice for gays in the Jomtien Complex. No problem having boys in the room.

This thread has made me speculate as to what would happen if I died in Thailand. Maybe this would be as a result of a road accident or maybe whilst having sex with a boy in bed or maybe being murdered by a jealous boyfriend - the possibilities are many. i have of course made a will and left that and information about my affairs with my lawyer. As to embarrassment with what my family would find at my house, all my porn is stored on my iPad and nobody knows the pin. I would be leaving a collection of fetish wear and maybe somewhere there could be poppers, but I’m not concerned of about those. i have read an interesting book written by the former British consul in Pattaya in which he talks amongst other things about dealing with cases of deceased British visitors and expats. A very interesting account of what actually happens in a variety of circumstances.

I left Pattaya just before the storm broke in the morning of Tuesday 2 April for the airport. Good timing I suppose as a little later maybe I would have had a problem catching my flight to Dubai. I have watched the videos of the dramatic floods. Was there a storm also on 3 April ? Im hoping to be back in August for 3 or 4 weeks. I enjoyed my trip very much with great weather during the 2 weeks. I enjoyed also meeting several other gay visitors and expats and of course the boys from bars and gogos.

I’ve only been to Babylon once and that was some time ago. Apart from that all my experiences have been at the Samsuck in Pattaya and I’ve not been there for more than a year due to lack of action when I did go. Like most gay facilities in Pats it declined from its popularity of more than 5 years ago, when action in the darkened maze was almost guaranteed. Encounters often led to sex in the many cubicles.

4000 to 5000 tip plus 1000 off fee. Presumably that’s for long time ?. I would never pay prices like that. I’ve just finished 16 days in Pattaya where I slept with boys most nights and paid 1600 to 2000 plus the off fee,. Boys were from Winner, Cupidol, Complex Bars and Planet Romeo. However they were twinks so we are not talking about the same thing. The guy above would certainly tempt me if I decided to give BKK a try, if the cost was more reasonable. Is it possible to get a muscled non-model hunk for say 3000 all in long time ?

Yes status is very important for Thais and the possession of the latest offering from Apple or Samsung certainly helps. I use two phones in Thailand, one being a reasonably up to date iPhone with the weakness of limited battery life which can let me down if I fail to charge it overnight. The other is an old Nokia that I bought for, if I remember 800 baht. The battery lasts for ever, I’ve dropped it in water and stood on it many times, but it still comes up fighting. It’s small and slips in my pocket neatly. However my current boyfriend, a 20 year old, shows his disgust whenever I pull it out particularly in the vicinity of his friends. I suppose it’s like running a 10 year old car in the West.
