Unlike Bangkok, which I first encountered decades back, I only began visiting Pattaya within the past five years. So while I can vividly remember the BoyzBoyzBoyz nightly parade, Sunnee has always seemed forlorn. While I encountered the removal of the trees and the upgrade to Dongtan Beach, I have returned twie a year to the same area on the beach which is occupied by what appears to be gaggles of gays, many or most, with their local boys. I have daily massage on the sand and have welcomed the "therapist" for a hotel encounter.
So, while I'm unable to compare, I do have a good gay time.
