No only I can vouch but need to inform you that when I went there last night at 9 at least two mamasans were asking me ''where are your friends"'?. On personal note I must say that I was never so welcomed at that location / Jupiter , Boy66, now Moonlight / like yesterday so certainly we left good impression without lavishing those stupid garland. One of the boys I left 100 baht tip went even as far as going from the stage to welcome me in the bar , fact that there were only 2 other customers no doubt contributed to that welcoming but certainly 'genius loci ' of that location changed for a better as far as I'm concerned

Thank you for bringing it up, in fact it is directly across from Jupiter and sitting there with some very twinky but witty host from Laos between 7.30 and 8.20. I had pleasure of spying Jupiter guys coming to work , not to mention commentary of my host, drink 80, boy drink 140 if I recall correctly

Some businessmen have clearly strong nerves

While I believe in tipping guys generously for service rendered, lavishing 1000 baht tip on just being on the stage and looking pretty defies logic and probably is done by patrons trying to impress people they are with. By the way my customary 100 baht deserting tip was lavished on #4 and Smart , the model.

At least you saw boys, when Christian and I peeked in early evening mid week last week there was no boy on the stage , two hours later only 4 or 5. On Friday was better staffed though, enough for me to find somebody to take home.

New, improved formula of the show is great, full audience for the show last night, models looking outstanding but only six out of seven were rewarded with those garlands of fake notes, one who did not get one was shockingly HM Babe, it looked strange.Uncrowned king in the middle of 7 and only one without crown. Great performance and great show, Babe did shower show , sexy like hell, few regular boys are very good dancers, towel number with 4 models very sexy , all in all well worth 450/ second drink 350 /. Three of us were grabbed from the street by no one less than former bandanna barker from Hot Male , no longer wearing bandanna but still looking somewhat attractive for me, it must be some spell he thrown at me or something.

Not really as I was not part of that crowd, just passed by. Somehow Panorama was never my favorite place so , I always rather sat at Oscars or Copa terrace. All I can say looks nice

I was on third floor and noise , while detectable was not disturbing, neither for me nor my bed warmer.

Thank you reader and kokopelli for an inspiration, I read thread this morning and right after the breakfast I jumped on the taxi and went to visit Vihara Sien. Indeed there are , among other art crafts ,few statues from terracotta army . Admission 50 baht. This forum is great resource for us , Pattaya visitors well known all over for being such a culture lovers.

I'm sure you will enjoy the poll there, great views. Not sure is visible from the space but from Maha Nakhon for sure

I just waked up there and have card with me , e-mail address is lecaferoyalehotel@gmail.com

Opened with quite a crowd including at least 2 forum members last night, did not see any name change. Looks nice

close eyes when passing by

that's sad but rather expected with all bars around the corner eliminated. They market themselves as gay hotel but it seems even gay community preferred other digs in recent years.

Most hotel's websites have disclaimer ' room guaranteed for late arrival. Definitely it was my case with Nantra last year, instead of arriving at 1 a.m I showed up , because of missing connection , at noon next day and room was still waiting for me so I'd not be concerned with letting it to somebody else , specially when prepaid. From my experience all those arriving late or too soon are subject of some interpretation by the hotel, specially depending on how busy they are. Raya is known for sticking to their 2or 3 p.m. checking in policy but still once they let me into room at 11 am already. If I arrive in the dead of the night I still book for that night as even at 3 or 4 am I rather had pillow and bed than wait in the lobby. BBB Inn let me once to move in at 6 am without charging extra even if nominal check in is 2 or 3 . So when concerned clear rules with hotel and hope for the best, it looks that there's room for common sense at receptions

I'm shocked ! What about all those temples and shopping?

Where the hell on this planet you have clean water those days? We drink dirty water and breathe contaminated air and still live longer than ever. And when done , they place us in contaminated soil anyways.

somebody reported it already but I just noticed new place called "SS Residences" in the same soi ABomb is, entrance is right beside former Vassa bar in the small connecting soi. Place looks new and is not available on agoda nor expedia yet ( at least I did not find it there) but booking.com quotes about 900 / baht per night so may be worth to consider as is close enough to BOyztown, whole 27 seconds walk, but that soi is much more quiet

You are in for a ball !

I just passed by and yes, almost completed , they are cleaning floor and setting up furniture. Grand Opening can be expected any day now I guess.

absolutely answer is yes, now I'm on second floor / 1st for Europeans / and no problem with the noise. No problem with resident girls or hotel guests at all. There are 2 bars on ground floor , ABOMB, boy bar and Classroom own girl bar. Entry to the rooms is by separate door , keycard protected o bar guests unless sitting outside don't know who you are hosting and it' not their business anyways. Boyztown is kind of very quiet , Toy Boy look like short of boys big time , me and Christian visited twice yesterday 2 hours apart and saw even empty stage . But BBB is packing , Music bar past midnight lat night looked full , good fun at Castro with 1/3 seats taken and I have impression guys are more keen for a business. I'm happy with trip so far so it can't be that bad and certainly far from last October disaster

I visited today and it is impressive place indeed, perhaps even classier then RIP Magnolia and in much better location. All amenities are shiny new, showers in the room as well as storage closet for one's belongings. massage table with face well Before 5 p.m. , 1 hr is 220 only, 1.5 hrs. 500. Not sure how long that type of prices will last. And most important enhanced options are available. Therapist fully dressed but made sure I knew his pants were not exactly empty where they shouldn't be by proper positioning himself but only after he checked initial reaction. Most important , massage was of proper kind and guy knew what he is doing and move to the next stage was only after I impatiently started some questionable motions. Recommended

I'm staying right now in Classrooms above ABomb, room is big and yes I have big fridge, microwave and full set of utensils in the room.Gentleman I was hosting last night drank his white wine from proper glass, go figure. No breakfast but Foodland is short walk away and there are many other places with all day breakfast

Few people mentioned Amara, just left after 2 nights there and for those who like upscale hotels I can fully recommend. Very well appointed rooms and those on upper floors have a view, I was on 16th and it was quite impressive , not like from MahaNakhon but still close. Rooftop poll an additional bonus and very impressive buffet breakfast. Walking distance to Patpong and Red Planet is just beside. But it all costs money so while I recommend it be prepared with fat wallet . AND MOST IMPORTANT- NO PROBLEM WITH VISITORS, they let ChristianPFC in without asking any questions and the same with two lesser mortals, one quite impressively tattooed. ( no we did not have foursome , after all I was there 2 nights, right ?)

yes, it's running , passed by on Sunday and yesterday, a lot of familiar faces. did not step inside yet bu surely will do ind report in due course
