Thanks Hannan. Sounds like I should be able to off and boy to meet my wishes.

Not had any replies to my question above, but it has been answered in the thread “how busy is Boyztown and Sunee” with an excellent report by ggobkk in which he says that Cupidol was busy and had a number of twinky boys. That’s good enough for me to schedule a visit even though I plan to stay in the Jomtien Complex for the first part of my trip next week.

Regarding busy gogos I sometimes get frustrated if there is a boy I have the hots for becomes unavailable before I have a chance to call him over. Maybe another customer gets him first, maybe he’s offed or maybe he disappears behind the scenes or exits the bar. If it’s the former I’m jealous particularly if the customer holds the boy’s cock. This is less likely to happen in low season when things are quieter. One plus for high season is that extra boys come to Pattaya when the word gets to Isaan that there are plenty of gay farangs there with money. New cute boys are especially welcome !.

At the moment Pattaya is coming towards the start of High Season, which in theory runs to March with Peak Season from 20 December to 10 January. I have checked hotel and booking agency websites for a December trip and whilst prices are a higher than when I was in Pats during July, there seems to be no shortage of accommodation. I really am not bothered about how many visitors are in town, rather that there are a good number of boys for me to interact with. You will of course know what I mean by “interact “. Having said that I do hate to go into a Gogo and find I am the only customer. The ideal would be 15 to 20 twinky boys and maybe 10 customers “interacting”. So if high season has that result then I will be happy.

Anyone visited Cupidol recently ?. It was my favourite Gogo in the past.

Yes 100 would be fair for a short non groping encounter but for an extended one when playing with his cock or maybe tongue kissing I would pay more - 200 or even 300. Although usually I would be checking the boy for a potential off and since these days I’m mostly mainly bottom I look for a rock hard cock but one that is not too thick. In the event of an off I would not give an “in bar” tip.

Yes I agree. My Way at full volume is a mega distraction when in bed with your boyfriend du jour.

A few posts back I asked about the advisability of staying at the Ambiance. Well I’ve had all the information I needed from this thread and I’m disappointed to say that I will not be staying there during my trip. I say disappointed because I’ve had a few good experiences there when it was the hotel for gays in Pattaya.

Is the karaoke” noise” is still blasting out in BT late at night ?. I had thoughts about staying at the Ambience for part of my forth-coming trip but the memory of ear shattering “My Way” at 3am makes me very cautious about making the reservation.

Thanks Vinapu and Z909. Several times I mentioned this story to gay friends at home and in Pats and came into some criticism for “hacking” the email account. I fact one said it was the same as opening someone’s post !. Perhaps he was right. I should have mentioned that one of the guys did, like me, send him money. No doubt, then as now, an attractive boy can earn good money not only from offs but also from presents, in kind or cash, from customers. Yes z909, Euroboys was a small Gogo and I remember the lateral stage being in the middle with the boys dancing holding ropes hanging down. I take it that your 2007 date is now a ladyboy.

A long time ago, maybe 18 years, I had an extended stay in Pattaya and during the last two weeks I acquired a 19 year old cute twinky “boyfriend” from the Euroboys Gogo in Sunee, which was a favourite of mine on account of the boys dancing in white lace up sexy briefs. The sex was excellent - I was 100% top then. On my last day I opened an email account for him because he had no experience of computers. This was of course when few Thais had mobile phones but were beginning to used internet cafes. I showed him how to use the account and mentioned about changing the default password. On my return home I was suprised to find an email from him which had obviously been composed by someone else as his English was rudimentary. We exchanged emails and then one came to say he loved me and and wanted to leave the bar, go back to Isaan, and wait for my return, but mentioned his need for money and requested that I send some via western Union. I sent 5,000 baht which at 70 = £1 did not trouble me at all. A further request came a couple of weeks later on the same lines. I had a naughty thought - and logged onto his email account due to him not changing the password. I was amused to find him writing to 2 other guys expressing love, and asking for money. The email exchanges were an education !. I terminated the correspondence by telling him to change his psssword. On my return to Pattaya I found him again, said I had no hard feelings, and offed him several times, but “boyfriend” NO.

Thanks Wheelz for an enjoyable trip report. I’m looking forward to the next episode. Like Terry I’m rather surprised that you describe the Zing as “crappy” as I’ve stayed there twice and found it fine and very good value for money.

That really appeals to me Christian !. Twinks on the gay beach in skimpy speedos which we used to see up to about ten years ago. I remember playing with them in the sea and then taking them back to the hotel or condo. Perhaps one of the beach concessions could be converted into a boy bar/Gogo where boys could be offed.

My next trip will be in four weeks time so having found a good flight I am thinking about the other logistical options. I find the bus options Suvanaphum to Pattaya excellent and the trivial cost saving over a taxi appeals to my sense of economy. I always book the Bell Travel bus online, which you have to, but there is sometimes a long wait for departure so last time I paid for a ticket on the regular bus which left an hour before. This terminates in Jomtien close to the Complex where I have stayed during my last two trips. I just wheel my bag perhaps 300 yards to my hotel. The Bell Travel I use when there is a long wait for the regular bus, although it can take a long time from the Pattaya Nua bus station to Jomtien in the mini bus dropping people off all over. Sort of a belt and braces approach ! However I’m tempted this time to start my trip in Bangkok to try a hunk from Tawan (been reading the threads and looking at Vinapu’s pictures). Twinks abound in Pattaya but muscle boys are in short supply. For the journey Bkk to Pattaya I would go sky train to Ekamai and then take the bus.

No doubt that the pharmacies, 7-11 / Family Marts in the vicinities of the gay areas must be major outlets for the sale of KY. I buy the small tubes (more portable}, which don’t last very long, but their cost is a very small part of my Pattaya expenditure.

During my last trip to Pattaya I stayed in the Jomtien Complex and used the host bars there rather a lot. The evening activities seemed to be divided into three phases. Firstly from about 5 pm till say 9.30 pm it’s all about attracting customers, arriving from dinner, into the bars and that is what the boys do, whilst having fun in the Soi. Expats tend to sit together and are well known to the boys. Those on holiday, like myself, are left alone unless they specifically ask a boy to sit with them. This can be a mistake as the boy will claim you and it is difficult to engage another due to the compact nature of the bar area. Leave interaction till later. After say 10.30 some of the customers depart and the boys make moves towards the remainder, looking for drinks and offs. You see more intimate conduct, such as kissing and cuddling. After about 12 the bars are definitely quieter with many boys having departed with customers, but there will still be a few that would attract you until as late as 3 am, when I would certainly be in bed with my boyfriend du jour.

Agree with you there Vinapu. There was still a good number of older gay farangs (including myself) to be seen in Sunee and Jomtien. Although it looks like we have surrendered territory in Boyztown. I will however do a reconisence during my next visit to Pattaya which will hopefully be in early December. It’s more than a year ago that I last offed from BT.

I very much understand the explanation of probabity as described by Curtis and I thank him for this. I then think back to my own experience of having unprotected anal sex during my first three visits (totalling about 12 weeks) to Pattaya in 2001 and 2002. At a conservative estimiate I think I must have topped around 30 boys sans condom in that period. Doing a bit of calculating of probability, taking Curtis’ statistics, it would seem that I was extremely lucky to avoid HIV or another STD but I did. Maybe the risk varies to a significant degree between different people, and I wonder if I an not susceptible to becoming infected ?.

I would love to dispense with rubbers during my next visit to Pattaya and it’s now tempting to do this with the advent of prep. When I first discovered Thailand as a gay destination nearly 20 years ago I was 100% top. I fucked a lot of boys bare back and loved the pleasure and especially the cum inside. I was very lucky and escaped Scott free of any disease HIV or other. I only recall a couple of boys refusing. After two visits to Pattaya and talking to others and reading about the scourge of HIV I reformed and practiced safe anal sex. Now I’m mostly bottom and it’s would be great to experience a boys cock inside me and feel his cum, but this would be tempered by the worry of the other STI’s.

My first trip to Thailand was with a gay friend and we planned and reaserched the tourist attractions of Bangkok. We would of course sleep together and develop a relationship. On the plane we heard about Pattaya and decided to go there first to get a couple of days beach time before resuming the plan. Within hours of arrival there the plan was abandoned and so was sleeping together. Instead it was boys boys boys ......... Don’t make plans in Pattaya !

I too make usually 3 trips every year to Pattaya and I cannot remember being bored. I like to keep fit whilst there although the heat and humidity makes it a challenge. I visit a gym nearly every day and swim as well, normally in a hotel pool or sometimes in one at Tony’s 3rd Road. However the larger part of my days and nights revolves around boys - finding them and enjoying sex with them and even when I’m excercising im thinking about them. I’ve not as yet encountered African boys, but the idea does appeal to me.

Warwick went on to operate The Colonial Bar at the entrance to Sunee, but I don’t think that was successful because it closed fairly quickly.

I agree with the above 100%Rather than pay the hotel prices discussed I would invest in a super toned hunk to join me in bed for the same money.

Yes I can confirm what Biguyby says. I think Punya would quickly hear about it if asking for money became prevelent rather than the exception. However there always used to be a number of Thai boys present around the pool who were obviously looking for farang boyfriends or more likely daddies. When they did venture upstairs into the maze they were quickly the centre of attraction, but I dont think having fun there was the motive. I remember a number of years ago when boys were available on the gay beach I occasionally took one to the Sansuck, to have sex there rather than,in an ST room.

I didn’t visit during my July trip, whereas in previous years I used always to go, sometimes several times in each week. It is of course an awkward place to get to, unless you are ok with riding rented motor bikes or motor bike taxis. When I stayed in BT I got there by taking a Jomtien bound baht bus and remembering where to get off and then walking down the Soi. Getting back at about 9.30 pm was a bit more difficult as I recall that having walked back to main road and found all the motor bike men had gone and Pattaya bound baht buses did not stop due to being full- nothing for it but to hike back to BT. Mind you there was a lot of action in the maze that night and I stayed late playing in the whirl pool.
