I’ve never stayed at the Venue because downstairs it’s a Cabaret (rather a good one) and faces the main gay bar zone, so likely to experience noise in the rooms Posiedon - I’ve stayed there twice. It’s 100% gay with a well regarded restaurent. Not cheap Sansuck Sauna is situated maybe a mile from the Jomtien Complex down a side Soi. I’ve not stayed there since before Covid. Your own transport could be considered essential (motor bike for me), but of course very convenient if you intend to use the associated gay spa. I loved the dark cruising maze.

Keith - the Mozambique guy I had for 3 nights and two days cost me around 10,000. This included meals and drinks and also I bought him speedos to wear on the beach. So I don’t think that’s a premium price although bearing in mind I made contact on Grindr. He was versatile and served me both ways. On reflection I should have kept him longer as I enjoyed him more than the twinks I later acquired from the Jomtien Complex.

There are currently a number of money boys from Mozambique in Pattaya serving the gay community and gay tourists, like me, there. They have dark brown skin not black and have slim attractive bodies, but their hair is more African .

Yes Pattaya is probably the ladyboy capital of the world with a number of ladyboy bars and many of the many massages employ them, not to mention seeing them on the streets. Whilst being aware of this situation I have definitely never been tempted to try sex with them although I have talked to fellow gays and men claiming to be str who have (bisexual ? !!). The thought of being in bed or having a massage with a guy with breasts really appals me. I think that sex with a female would be less difficult. I’m gay and go to Thailand with the main objective being Asian boys.

I had an Africa boy (in fact he was a 20 year old student from Mozambique) for three days/nights during my last visit to Pattaya. I acquired him from Grindr and my outlay all told was about 10,000. This included meals, drinks and speedos to wear with me on the gay beach. Slim brown sexy body. He was mostly top with me

My first two visits to Pattaya were in 2001 when I was accompanied by a gay friend from home who like me had never been before. The trips were of relatively short duration, 2 or 3 weeks and were nearly 100% boy orientated so I don’t remember any periods we were bored or at a loose end. Later trips l travelled there on my own and was able to stay for much longer, around two months, even one of ten weeks. Compared with the shorter ones my “pace” was much calmer residing in condo apartments including periods.with “boyfriends” , with whom I did some limited travelling within Thailand. I did meet other long term visitors, both str and gay, during my keep fit activities (gym, running and cycling). I can’t say that I ever felt lonely.

Yes during the tv coverage of the Paris swimming and diving events has me glued to the screen, especially of course the male events. Competitors with beautiful toned bodies and for diving I love the brief sexy speedo type briefs. The former is the product of endless hours of dedicated training in the pool and in the gym from a young age.

No shortage of TT exchanges in Pattaya - there seems to be one along the main tourist roads every hundred yards or so.

The introduction of the 60 day visa exemption should substantially reduce the visa run traffic and also the need for tourists wanting to stay a couple of months to apply for the 2 month tourist visa, which I used to do for my longer stays. This should increase the number of gay tourists who are currently much less in evidence compared with times gone by.

Love that video !. Hot Thai guys parading in tiny speedo-like briefs. Most use their hands to stroke their bodies, knowing what turns on gays like myself. Wish I had been in the audience - I would have tried to flirt (without success no doubt)

I would echo ChristianPFC opinions regarding boy’s tattoos. When I first visited Pattaya they were much less common so it was easy to find boys without them. Now zero tattoos boys are in the minority so gay tourists like myself cannot be so selective when looking for an attractive “boyfriend”. Tattoo artists must be one of the largest employee categories and studios abound on every road and Soi, catering for both male and female customers. I notice that a fair proportion of tattoos seem to have a Buddhist religious significance but I’ve yet to learn more about this. I once had several henna tattoos so see how I looked, but I didn’t like the result and was happy when they faded. As to blonde/bleached hair, I find this exotic and attractive on boys. One decoration which has not taken off in recent years as far a boys are concerned are body piercings, which only a few boys have. 20 years ago I had my nipples pierced with rings inserted, which boyfriends enjoyed playing with, but they caused irritation and I removed them permanently. I’ve never seen this decoration on Asian money boys.

Vinapu’s wise words should put this controversy to bed, which has come up a number of times in these pages. I first discovered Pattaya as a gay tourist more than 20 years ago and it was if I had found heaven. My orientation has changed since then from being a highly charged top to enjoying sex more broadly, but in my many visits to Pats I have always enjoyed the boys and the gay ambiance to be found there. Since then I have not returned to the Mediterranean resorts where I previously spent my holidays. I usually like to do a side trip to Bkk where the massages and “hunk” bars are great, but Pattaya always has been my place. I like beaches particularly when accompanied by an attractive boy and I think the sea air dies me good.

Yes I should have mentioned Boyztown. When I typed I was thinking of my last trip when I stayed very close to BT, but offed 3 twinks from the Complex, 1 lad from Winner and 2 boys from Grindr ( one of them, from Mozambique I had LT FOR 3 nights). For some reason, despite visits to Toyboys no boys from there found their way to my bed.

Across Grindr , The Complex and Winner Boys, Pattaya still has plenty to attract gay tourists looking for sex and fun with Asian boys.

Like Londoner I have not visited BBB much during my 22 years of making innumerable boy (especially twinks) orientated visits to Pattaya. The last time was before Covid and I only have a vague memory of the first time, but I do remember the 9 (?) pm parade. I do recall seeing women customers in BBB some years ago and being surprised and uncomfortable about that, it being not usual in a gay bar, especially when they were getting the attention of the most attractive boys. ive never been to The Gambia or indeed Africa at all - I suspect that gay men would not be welcome there. Although maybe Mozambique would be good. During a recent Pattaya visit I contacted a boy from there on Grindr for a two day boyfriend experience.

Ive searched my memory for that straight bar with the couples dancing, but going back 20 years I cannot recall it. Of course the Jomtien Complex, now Supertown, is not 100% gay. Apart from the Poseidon, the hotels all have straight guests who seem to have have no problems with us gays and our Asian boyfriends, particularly whilst around the pool. Also str couples are to be seen in the restaurants and whilst strolling around looking at the action in the gay bars.

Thanks WelshGuyUK certainly some hot cute boys featured in that Facebook post.

Fun Size bar ? Maybe to attract twink lovers ? Yes he’s really cute - hope the other boys in his bar are equally nice and offable. If so I will certainly pay a visit during my next trip.

There are a number of videos available on YouTube featuring hot guys at Fake Club in brief speedo type briefs parading on the stage being appreciated by a mixed audience of ladies and men of various ages. Definitely eye candy especially when they excite by constantly adjusting their briefs. I’ve never actually been there so I’ve no idea if the boys can be offed, but in Thailand most things are available for a price.

For me the price of the drinks is not the issue in a gay bar. I’m not a big drinker. What I want to find is sexy lovely boys to entertain me both in the bar and maybe later in bed. The Winner bar delivers.

No doubt gays have higher spending power compared with str visitors to Thailand. However for this gay, my spending power is directed, like bkkmfj2648’s more towards boys and associated bars/massages rather than shopping malls or expensive resort hotels. When making a purchase I am usually to be found in markets, like the one in Soi Buakhow, Pattaya. However I will no doubt visit malls if I hear there is anything in them of interest to myself.

Another picture of Eric - money boy from Madagascar . One of a group resident in Pattaya on student visas.

African boy from Madagascar called Eric, posing on Dongtan Gay beach.

Great video showing boys dancing on the elevated tables at Krazy Dragon. Was it a staged sequence for publicity or marketing as I don’t recall that many boys performing on an average night ?. Those loose white shorts were a “turn-on” with slits affording groping hands easy access after giving a small tip. I do remember the boys circulating by jumping from table to table, without ever falling off. I must have offed from KG but I can’t bring to mind an instance. Maybe the twinky boys in the other Sunee gogos were more of an attraction in that era.

I’ve visited Pattaya for more than 20 years with my stays ranging from around 2 weeks to over 2 months in duration, although since Covid they have been mostly the former, with 90% being in the Boystown “ghetto” or the Jomtien Complex, as I feel more confortable in gay or gay friendly hotels, despite seldom having issues elsewhere. In the Complex I have mostly chosen the Zing although I have tried the others (but never the Venue). The rooms there are a little on the “basic” side but so are the rates, and the pool is a big asset for myself and often my “boyfriends”.
