Yes I believe that PBM has a waiting list of aspiring cameramen, even though there is no remuneration. In fact you have to pay to do the job !. Just joking !. Over the last couple of years in Pattaya I've been trying to spot PBM boys there, but I've only definitely seen three, out of the hundreds who have appeared on the website. One was working in a bar in Jomtien. Mot Kwang was working in Mic My gogo last year before the big raid, and I offed him twice. I saw Phet working in Sunee two years ago. I haven't seen Set so sorry Firecat. I wonder where they all are - I'm sure a lot of them are working in the Thai gay sex industry. Probably some of the pictures date back a few years and perhaps the boys have retired. It would be interesting to have some feedback from PBM.

I agree with your comments Christian. I try not to involve the staff, unless the boy does not speak English and there is need for translation. This can happen occasionaly such as when he comes from Cambodia and has had no education. With inexperienced boys I think its important for them to know what is expected, in my case being both top and bottom. As to the phone problem - they need to be tirned off. I dont appreciate being woken up by some Thai music ringtone.

Excellent summary of the procedure for offing a boy from a gogo. I would only add a couple of extra points. If you see a hot boy that you are attracted to, act quickly because there a good chance that someone else will beat you to him. This has happened to me in the past and I have gone back early the following night only to find the guy has offed the boy yet again. I like kissing so I like to make sure the boy is ok with that in the bar. Also I check his dick for hardness - as I am versatile and don't want a failure when he tops me.

Up2u Yes I do - mainly Gayromeo. But I categorise boys joining me on the beach and then having sex with them as GR hookups. I had two of these this year. Another difference with 2007 was that I visited Samsuk Sauna four times. I don't think it was in business 7 years ago.

Reflecting on the lack of boys on the beach, I had a look at my diary for 2007 when I visited Pattaya for the first time in February for a similar period to my holiday this year. I saw that I had sex with 4 different boys that I met on the beach, compared with zero this year. Two encounters resulted in 3 long times at my Pattaya hotel and two for sex in a short time room at Jomtien. I also saw that my principal source of boys in 2007 was Sunee bars/gogos, whereas as this year I only had two from there. Of course the big increase over the 7 years was boys from GR. if it existed in 2007 I wasn't aware. I've kept diaries over many years when the habit started due to a work requirement and sports.

More of these please on the beach ! I love those cute speedos. Is that a shell next to his arm ? !

It's definitely IcecreamKa. He was very busy when I was there, but I have yet to buy one of his ices. On reflection I did notice during my recent Pattaya holiday that there were far fewer beach vendors than before. DVD sellers seemed to be completely absent as were temporary tattoo artists, although due to the age profile on the gay beach that's not really surprising. I remember a few watch sellers and many trinket ladies. Massage men and lady manicurists seemed to be as numerous as before. Maybe this is just my imagination.

I see that IcecreamKa is still wearing a hat in the picture. I can't recall him ever not wearing one. Also I've never seen him wearing other than shorts and a tee shirt. I wonder what prompted him to pose in very brief speedos. He looks rather sexy !.

Crazy pilot Plenty of Thai boys come to Samsuk Sauna. I had them in the cubicles. I think they get a reduced entry fee. They are looking for farang boyfriends. Money does not change hands there, but no doubt it does later. Some farangs take their Thai boyfriends.

Yes the nearest I've got to an orgy in Thailand was during my visits to the Samsuk Sauna in Pattaya. There in the darkened cruising areas I groped and was groped and engaged in tongue kissing. I was only able to recognise vaguely the more desirable bodies and try and tempt them into the cubicles for more advanced intercourse, including anal and oral. I would recommend crazy pilot to give that a try, as if this experience proves not to be to his liking its easy to leave. Offing 2 boys from a bar is easy but expensive (2 boy drinks, 2 off fees, 2 tips etc etc). Sometimes the boys are not compatible, for example when one is shy and the other one confident. It's better to try and get two who have worked together before, rather than selecting them at random. Also some hotels make an charge for an additional guest.

Nice z909 Here's some more boys on the beach, so it's not yet totally a boy desert

Very nice Abang - I would love to join you on that beach wearing one of my thongs. I have several from when I used to holiday in Gran Canaria at the gay resort of Playa del Ingles. Mind you they often came off particularly in the dunes behind the beach. I took them to Pattaya on my first visit intending to wear them at Dongtan, but I discovered the dress code there to be rather more modest !.

I often wonder what goes through the minds of the boys we bring back to luxurious hotels such as the Renaissance, Taratawan or even the Ambiance in Pattaya. They are a world away from the extremely basic rooms with rough beds or no beds at all, troughs of cold water, and concrete floors, that they seem to inhabit. I suppose it's what they are used to at their home in Isaan. I once asked a hot boy, who I had given a few thousand baht to and who didn't spend many nights not in the bed of customers, why he didn't upgrade his room. I got the impression that he didn't value the comforts that we in the West regard as essential.

Guideneeded Yep you got me there. I was able to edit this guy out and replaced him by sand. He was wandering about looking for a 10 baht chair and a 50 baht massage.

More boys on the beach required like this cutie.

4500 baht for a room ?. I have never paid anything like that in Thailand, even though I am well able to afford it. I suppose I am a cheap Charlie at heart. I stayed at the Tantarnwan last August and that was good enough for me. A very comfortable room and an excellent breakfast and of course close to gay bars. I think I paid about 2000.

Wish I was at Dongtan now, boys or no boys. I'm back home in England. It's pissing down with rain, cold and blowing a force 9 gale.

I paid another visit yesterday with my "boyfriend du jour". Really the weather is superb just now in Pattaya and has contributed very much to my holiday. I'm not looking forward to returning home in a few days. I decided to top up my tan by sun bathing a little but if course the boy didn't want to expose his pale body to the rays, so I paid for three chairs - 2 under the umbrellas and one near the water. I had him spread some low factor sun cream on me and minimised the area covered by my speedos. After half an hour I joined him back under the umbrellas to assess whether I was burning and to have a drink and a cuddle with him. I repeated the process a couple of times. I have an average skin as far as tanning is concerned so it is important not to overdo it. The boy laughed at me that night when I stood before the mirror admiring my tan before we got into bed.

Yes the boys seem to have deserted the beach unfortunstely. It's probably as a result of gayromeo. A few years ago there was always a number of cuties in speedos, particularly in the late afternoon.

No sign of an election in Pattaya apart from no alcohol being served till 12 midnight. I think it will do many of the farang inhabitants good to give their livers a welcome rest

I've been in Pattaya over two weeks now and the bar closure last night was no problem for me at all. I stocked up with a few beers, small bottle of whiskey and mixer. My telephone has now accumulated a few phone numbers against I have recorded descriptions of the boys involved. I made an early evening visit to the Samsuk Sauna, which was rather busy with farangs and Thai boys, escaping the quiet bar areas. Later a couple of phone calls acquired for me a cute boy for the night.

You pay 240 baht for admittance which includes 2 large towels and one condom and a small sachet of lube, so not bad value. Any drinks and meals are paid for when you leave. You just quote your locker key number.

I went there yesterday evening at about 6 pm and was very impressed, now all the building work is complete. It was very busy with Russians, Thais (both older and some younger boys) and many older farangs. I tried the whirlpool (too cold), the steam room(really excellent) and the sauna, which is located in the upstairs cruising area. The top floor is virtually pitch black and maze like. I had discarded my towel and had entered wearing my speedos with condom and lube within them. The excitement soon had me erect and groping hands were soon on my dick. I found myself tongue kissing with someone I identified as Thai from his whispers asking me to enter a cubicle. We had good sex with him eventually topping me. After he left I lay naked in the cubicle leaving the door open for two others to enter for sucking and nipple play. I very much enjoyed the visit.
