Oh Olddaddy, Please be very very careful about this decision. I mainly ride a rented motorbike on the small islands (Koh Samet, Koh Larn, Koh Larn, etc.) because the traffic is not intense. I will also drive around Jomtien on a motorbike, but I almost never venture into Pattaya City on my motorbike - as it is too intense for my liking. Too many people that I know have been injured over the years on their motorbikes - so at a minimum, please take a motorbike lesson or 2 before you rent one - unless of course one of your many personalities is already an experienced motorbike rider 🏍🛵🏍🛵

I had my 2nd massage with so sexy Khun Owen this morning over at the Supertown Burirom Health Massage shop. As with my 1st massage NO evidence of any hanky panky gestures were presented. But, his massage is truly very professional and top-notch. Today we were much more chatty during the massage and he told me that he is single and that he prefers to not date Thai guys - as he prefers other Asian and farang guys. Coincidentally, a cute Asian guy [ who had just finished with Owen before me ] was leaving when I entered the shop - I see that Owen is selected often. Owen desires to make an 8 to 9 day trip over to China next month or in September - and he jokingly asked me if I wanted to join him. I declined, as my trip later this year will be further east. Owen shared with me his Instagram account and he said that I could share it here in our forum: https://www.instagram.com/cue_owen/ In my humble opinion, he is truly a hottie.....

The PCEC (Pattaya City Expat Club) publishes many cultural events in their calendar section in their weekly newsletter which just arrived this morning. I checked this morning and I did not notice any upcoming events with violins scheduled for Pattaya. However, PCEC has a link to these types of events that take place over in Bangkok at: https://sites.google.com/site/bkkmacaldetails/home/chamber-music?authuser=0

I was honored with the privilege last year to visit a forum member who was staying at the Rabbit Resort and I agree that it is a beautiful place. Check this thread out to learn more:

@emiel1981 - as @vinapu would say, "just go and see...." In my 1 single experience with him there were no indications for the availability for any hanky panky. Your experience could be different. One of my good farang friends - who is now back in the EU - frequents the Burirom massage shop often and he has had many opportunities for hanky panky there. To improve my statistical sample - I have another appointment with him this morning - because his massage skills are top-notch.

Jomtien Complex 2026 interviews of the Pride Night Mr. Sexy Boy competition winners I decided to interview all 3 of the Mr. Sexy Boy competition winners, as I was intrigued to know them better and to understand what motivated them to participate – as I genuinely enjoy participating in gay grassroot events. July 18, 2026 Mr. Sexy Boy contest winners Step 1: I created a set of 8 questions (in both Thai and in English) that I would present to each of the 3 contestant winners and send to them via LINE for completion. As my former Thai boyfriend (FTHBF) was with me at the event he helped me to formulate the questions from a Thai point of view. คุณชื่ออะไร และอายุเท่าไหร่? What is your name and how old are you? คุณมาจากภูมิภาคหรือเมืองไหน? From which region/town do you come from? คุณอยู่ที่พัทยา / จอมเทียน มาประมาณกี่ปีแล้ว? How long have you been in Pattaya / Jomtien? คุณทำงานอยู่ที่บาร์/ร้านไหนใน Jomtien Complex? ทำงานมานานเท่าไหร่แล้ว? For which bar/shop in the Jomtien Complex do you work for? For how long? อะไรคือแรงจูงใจที่ทำให้คุณตัดสินใจเข้าร่วมการประกวดครั้งนี้? What motivated you to enter this pageant contest? ระหว่างการประกวด มีช่วงเวลาที่น่าจดจำหรือทำให้คุณอารมณ์มากที่สุดคืออะไร? During the pageant contest, what was the most memorable or emotional moment for you? คุณจะเข้าร่วมการประกวด Mr. Sexy Boy ปีหน้าอีกหรือไม่? ถ้าไม่ใช่ เพราะเหตุใด? Would you participate in next year’s Mr. Sexy Boy competition? If not, why? หากชาวต่างชาติ (farang) อยากเจอคุณ วิธีที่ดีที่สุดในการติดต่อและพบคุณคืออะไร? (เช่น ที่ร้าน, LINE, Facebook, เป็นต้น) If reader’s from the farang foreign community wanted to meet you, which is the best way to meet you? (at shop, LINE, Facebook, etc.) Step 2: I had to find a way to make contact with the 3 contestants. Contestant winner #1 is friends of myself and my FTHBF so it was easy to make contact with him. Contestant winner #2 was more challenging because nobody in my inner circle knew Khun Owen. So, I searched for his employer in Facebook and I contacted them via their WhatsApp number that is listed in their Facebook. I made an appointment for a 2 hour massage with Khun Owen. For contestant winner #3, he is personal friends with the current roommate of my FTHBF and I asked him to put me in contact with Khun Manow. Step 3: Actual meetings: My first meeting was with Khun Owen at the Burirom Health Massage shop. I arrived for my 2 hour appointment at 3pm. Owen met me at the front desk and led me to a massage room upstairs. This was my first time at the Burirom shop and I can say that it is more of the style of shops that you would find in Bangkok instead of the typical massage shop houses typically found here in the Jomtien Complex. Owen asked me if I needed a shower and I replied no as I had come directly from my condo already showered. Before the massage started, I shared with Owen the above 8 questions that I had printed in both Thai and English. At first he was surprised and so I had to explain with Google Translate why I was there. I showed him the various pictures and videos from the Mr. Sexy Boy contest and I told him that I was interviewing the 3 contest winners. He agreed to participate in the questionnaire and he gave me his LINE so that I could send it to him after the massage. I am glad that I requested 2 hours because by now 30 to 35 minutes were consumed. His 90 minute massage was excellent and super professional. There was no hanky-pank or requests for “extras” and he remained almost fully clothed (he removed his shop massage jacket and performed the massage in his muscle t-shirt and massage pants). He is truly an artist in his profession. My second meeting was with Khun Apek later that same day at 6pm (2 hours before his start time at the RedRoom Bar) and we were to meet at the new Schatzi’s restaurant. Unfortunately, as it being Wednesday, it was closed. So, instead we walked over to the SINT Restaurant to eat, which is just outside of Supertown on Thappraya road. Apek is truly a very outgoing character who is a joy to spend time with. He makes you laugh, his English is very good, and he LOVES farangs. I can now see why he won the “Popular Vote” in the contest. I asked him to explain to me what was the “Popular Vote” and what were the requirements. During the beginning of the segment dedicated to the Mr. Sexy Boy contest, the announcers (MCs) announced to the crowd (unfortunately only in Thai) that the spectators should buy a garland at 40 baht each and place them on their favorite guy as they paraded on the rainbow carpet runway towards the judges. This explains so much, because I was sitting at the table with my FTHBF and I remember he turned around to me urgently and said to me, “let us buy garlands now very quickly before they come!!” Consequently, when Apek approached where we were sitting I gently stood up and placed 3 garlands on Apek’s neck. However, in the corner behind us there was a large crowd of people (of which only 1 was a farang – the rest were Thai guys) who ran towards Apek and completely covered his body in garlands. It was truly amazing. Hence, why Apek was also awarded the “Popular Vote”. I then asked Apek if in addition to the 5,000 baht that was awarded to the 1st prize candidate if he also earned money from the garland sales (as this is typically what happens over in Bangkok at the gogo bars). Instead, Apek informed me that 100% of the garland sales were donated to Dr. Philippe Seur’s foundation = Heartt 2000 which assists those in the Pattaya area who are inflicted with the suffering from HIV / AIDS symptoms. I implore our readers here to watch the below painful video of Dr. Philippe Seur performing his work in the taking care of many Thai people who suffer from this horrible disease. https://www.cultureunplugged.com/documentary/watch-online/play/5213/mo-philip-a-doctor-in-pattaya I will have a separate update about the funding that was raised for HEARTT 2000 in another update – because as of today it is still being prepared. After our dinner at the SINT Restaurant we went over to the RedRoom bar where Apek now works to have a drink. He previously worked at the Candy Bar – where I got to know him. Apek told me to tell all of you reading this that he LOVES farang and he only dates and goes with farangs. My third meeting was with Khun Manow on the following evening, and we met at Tinnies to eat an early dinner before his shift starts over at the M Bar. Manow is a sweet and very talkative guy and is also known within the M Bar crowd as Lemon or Citron. He used to perform in the sexy show at the M Bar but he decided that he prefers for now to work as a member of the host guy + wait staff team. For the 7th question, “Would you participate in next year’s Mr. Sexy Boy competition?” – he replied with a NO, but without a reason as to why. I tried to probe to learn why, but he would not reveal the reason to me. Unlike Apek, who also replied no, but he gave a very honorable reason – which you can read about in the questionnaire reply section of this post. Step 4: posting of the questionnaire results: I created a .jpg file with the questionnaire results from each of the contestant’s LINE responses. At the end of each questionnaire is the mechanism in which the contestant can be contacted (with their permission and authority given). My motivation to do all of this is: solely to help the gay grassroot efforts of the Jomtien Complex, aka Supertown, give visibility to the contest winners, and more importantly, to care about the future success of Supertown – especially since in the year 2030, Thailand may be awarded with the rights to host the World Pride 2030 – for which I hope that there will be an economic overspill from Bankgok into Thailand’s hinterland gay economic zones, of which Pattaya/Jomtien is one of them. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1570747294784764 Above FB reel discusses Thailand's diplomatic reception regarding World Pride 2030 APEK's questionnaire completed via LINE: OWEN's questionnaire completed via LINE: MANOW's questionnaire completed via LINE:

Hahaha 🤪 I know your type and he is better found in Bangkok - unless of course you now like twinks?

I am just returning the favor(s) that many forum members gave me over the years - when they hooked me up and/or made it possible to allow me to have contact with someone that I desired that either they knew or had already been with. Isn't that what our forum is all about?

SWING Pattaya (Service Workers in Group Foundation) has just released their official video today of the Jomtien Complex Pride Night 2026 event, which took place on Saturday July 18, 2026. This SWING video is done well as it gives equal time to the 1.) PRIDE Parade, 2.) Stage 1 events, and 3.) Stage 2 events - which included the Mr. Sexy Boy contest. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1730635294644923

There will be an informational meeting at the @Home bar in the Jomtien Complex for those who are still interested in participating and/or have questions regarding the upcoming Jomtien Pride Tenpin Bowling Tournament scheduled for next Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at 2:30pm to be held at The Wave Bowl - over in the Jomtien Palm Beach hotel. Best to contact the Supertown FB administrator = Jim Coston via the below facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18wEjkNw6V/ https://www.facebook.com/thewavebowl/ So far, the team that I am sponsoring, Sunee Bar - our team has had 2 bowling practices over at The Wave Bowl. Yesterday was the most recent one and over in the next bowling lane was the @Home Bar team - and well - their scores were always double ours - quite intimidating. But, we still go forward to join the fun comradery that kind Khun Ron is creating for the Supertown employees.

oh no, you also saw that famous scene from The Venue balcony that looks onto the Jomtien Complex town square below? I believe that it may have even been a forum member..... Or was it instead from The Agate balcony?

Breaking news - Peter Bar will open a second bar in the Jomtien Complex, aka Supertown. From the photo it looks like it will be in the former space that the Sun Bar previously occupied - which is just meters away from the first Peter Bar (which was formerly the 69 Bar). https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1G56PA1LmL/ @Olddaddy - You might want to hurry up if you are going to open a bar in the Jomtien Complex - because at the rate that new bars are opening - soon there won't be any empty spots left.

Finally, the Youtube blogger, who makes some of the BEST coverage of the gay events in Pattaya = @PureThailandBKK has posted the Jomtien Complex Mr. Sexy Boy 2026 contest highlights from Pride Night in Supertown. For those who are impatient: 3rd place winner, Khun Manow from the M Bar can be seen at point = 2:32 in the video, 2nd place winner, Khun Owen from the Burirom Health Massage shop can be seen at point 8:44 in the video, 1st place winner, Khun Apek from the RedRoom Bar can be seen at point = 14:07 in the video. Note #1 how Khun Owen struts his stuff up on the podium 🤪🤩 Note #2 how Khun Apec is ambushed by us spectators before he could even reach the judges podium station - as Apec was given an overwhelming number of garlands from us - his fans. Consequently, in addition to winning the number 1 prize, Apec also won the Popular Vote Award - as demonstrated in the video. Delicious Mr. Manow as seen in the above Youtube header shot image I've decided that I need to go and get a massage at the Burirom Health Massage with the expectation to book a session with Mr. Owen.

As promised below are the names of the 3 winners of the 2026 Mr. Sexy Boy contestants from the Jomtien Complex Pride Night held on Saturday July 18, 2026. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1JWoExQfdi/ For those of you who wrote to me privately about ways to make direct contact with these contest winners - give me some more time - as it is not so easy to obtain this information - but I am still working on it.

Today I came across a Youtube review of the Circuit Festival Asia (CFA) parties that were held in Pattaya in year 2025 vs. this year 2026, as compared by 2 different people who attended them. I found this 31 minute discussion very interesting and enlightening because it discusses: Pricing - Why paying more for VIP access may be worth it in some cases - instead of paying the standard General Admission price, Venue review, Entertainment details - who attends these types of events and what was on offer, HomePa - a term I never heard before (equals Home Party) - and strategies that can be used to get invited to them, Pros and Cons of attending a CFA versus a traditional White Party. If you have attended one of these Circuit Festival Asia parties let us know if you agree with these what these 2 critics had to say.

Thanks @durian for this Da Nang update. I stayed in Da Nang for 4.5 months last year and I truly enjoyed it. Regarding the apps, I found that the local Vietnamese guys were mostly using the Heesay (formerly Blued) app and that is where I found most of my hookups. https://www.heesay.com/ As you wrote, Hornet is not popular in Da Nang. Here is my trip report to Da Nang (it is now 1 year old) but maybe you might find some useful information. Enjoy your time in Da Nang and please say hello to your partner. :>)

Thanks for the compliment @Travellerdave Here is the Facebook link to one of the gay beach concession / stations: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057525486466 For our readership - please note that there are many gay concession stations to the left and right of station #20 = Rainbow Beach.

And the 2026 Mr. Sexy Boy Jomtien Complex Pride Night winner is: First Place = Mr Apek Wanlob - who I met as the famous bartender in the Candy Bar. Perhaps he now works in the Red Room bar ?? Anyone know? Apek - in the center with the red sash before the gaygudes EDIT button expires - one more tidbit - Mr. Apek also won the Popular Vote award - as all of us spectators (me included) we screamed our loudest at the judges which understood why he is so popular. Also, he received the most garlands. Mr. Apek Overloaded in garlands Second Place = I believe was sexy Mr. Oat from the Burirom Health Massage shop Mr. Oat in the lineup with the many other contestants For Third Place, we will need to wait until someone posts the official list in social media as I did not capture his photo. I had the honor to be accompanied by our very friendly forum member = @Kiwi306 who interrupted his sojourn in Bangkok to join the Jomtien Complex Pride Night festivities. We met over at the Sunee Bar and then we moved over to the Momo-Turn bar to watch the Mr. Sexy Boy contest on the rainbow carpet. We ordered food - which Momo-Turn bar obtains from the nearby Sophia's Thai yummy food bar - which has the famous stir fried chicken with cashew nuts dish that many forum members rave about - I have to agree. @Kiwi306 brought to my attention the back of the Momo-Turn bar staff t-shirts which we both really liked: This was my first time at the Momo-Turn bar and I truly enjoyed their very friendly and professional service and the manager is a very masculine type of guy - I will need to return more often. Overall, this year's Pride Night was a BIG success. At first I did not like the idea of the 2 separate stages (zones) - but when reflecting on how it was organized, I see that it was a good idea. What was nice about this year's event is that the bars that produce shows - had set up teams that performed at various rotating locations throughout the Jomtien Complex - in that way it was great to see the guys outside of their normal bar environments to show off what they do best -and- it allowed us spectators to feel and experience an ongoing continuous set of performances without having to move around much. Below are some random social media postings - as it was impossible to be everywhere at once. The SWING Pattaya team did an amazing job of coordinating the parade, funding, logistics, MC-ing, and educating people on what services they have on offer and HIV / AIDS testing and prevention. A humongous amount of praise needs to be given to Tam Tam Morgena (shown on the left in the above photo) - who tirelessly was the driving force to make this year's Jomtien Pride Night happen - as you may remember that back in late May it was posted that due to a lack of funds it was cancelled. But, once Tam Tam returned from St. Petersburg - she made sure that it would NOT be cancelled and organized it with SWING Pattaya for July 18, 2026 https://thepattayanews.com/2026/07/19/jomtien-complex-lights-up-pattaya-with-colorful-pride-night-2026-celebration/ https://www.facebook.com/reel/1077597387938219 https://www.facebook.com/reel/2517918858729480 https://www.facebook.com/reel/1387990546574365

Another last minute update is required = the joy of evolving in real time grassroots events. I just completed a walk through of the Jomtien Complex and the construction and assembly of Stage #1 is complete and ready for action. Stage #1 - location and format remains unchanged I then went looking for Stage #2 and I could not find it. I saw the owner of Dick's Cafe and I asked him what happened to Stage #2. He replied that there has been a change from a physical stage to instead be a red carpet walkway on the soi that is directly in front of Dick's Cafe to accommodate the Mr. Sexy Boy show. Stage #2 will now be a Red Carpet walkway in front of Dick's Cafe Stage #2 sexy red carpet runway show at 10pm in support of the HEARTT 2000 foundation https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Fq61G1f3f/ Jomtien_Pride_Night_promotional_vid.mp4

Welcome @nashbiguy69 Since you like ladyboys and fem boys - you will be in their epicenter - home territory. As Vinapu wrote above, The Venue is in the direct center of the Jomtien Complex, aka Supertown. Twink fem boys can be found in the nearby bars; Sunee Boy, Fun Bar, Great Bar, M Bar, Boy Gaga, Coqtales, Red Room, etc The complex is also host to 5 cabaret show bars where you can meet some of the ladyboys. These are: The Venue, Candy Bar, The Best Bar, M2M, M Bar Note that Pattaya is famous for its large production of Ladyboy cabaret shows. These are big professional shows held in venues like you would find in Las Vegas. Alcazar Tiffany's Colosseum Regarding the apps, I believe that you can find the most ladyboys on Grindr - as well as access to the local guys who can attempt to communicate in English. Grindr also attracts available guys who are passing through the Pattaya area more so than on the other apps listed below. Hornet is probably the post popular app after Grindr - and is more Thai-on-Thai - but it also has many of the local fem boys - just be prepared to use Google Translate. Heesay is the most popular app after Grindr and Hornet - and is very local - if you want access to the local guys - there are many local fem boys on this app. The Blowers - less popular - but some interesting guys can be found on that app. PlanetRomeo - Some of the local guys who tend to have better English communication skills have profiles in the Romeo app. As this app is from Europe - you will also find some of the foreigners who are visiting the Pattaya area on this app. There are also many other apps - but I am not a user of them so I cannot make a fair comment or suggestion. The Facebook administrator of Supertown makes daily updates about what is happening in the Jomtien Complex at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/supertowngay Enjoy your stay and don't forget that the gay Dongtan beach is very near to The Venue - about a 10 to 15 minute walk.

Additional late breaking important update from HEARTT 2000 for the July 18, 2026 Pride Night in the Jomtien Complex, aka Supertown. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Fq61G1f3f/ This Mr. Sexy Boy Jomtien Complex 2026 contest at 10pm will be an IMPORTANT fundraiser for the HEARTT 2000 Foundation. https://www.facebook.com/groups/supertowngay

It seems that the bars (and related alcohol sales) should be permitted on the 28th of July - the King's birthday. However, on the Buddhist holidays; 29th (Asanha Bucha Day) and the 30th (Wan Khao Phansa), the bars would be closed (no alcohol sales permitted on these days). Facebook source Also note another important detail to consider - The King's birthday occurs on Tuesday 28 July and the 2 successive Buddhist holidays occur on Wednesday 29 July and Thursday 30 July. Many Thai people will make this a super long weekend by adding in Friday 31 July. Therefore, if you are going to book or expect to see your favorite guy, you may want to first find out if he would even be in Bangkok/Pattaya during those days, as he may travel home or be elsewhere in Thailand to enjoy this very long weekend.
