It was always not that way! Some years ago one or two guys would organize a get together to which any and all were invited and, sometimes drinks were free to one and all. But as time went on this dwindled away with the diminishing gay scene. Even more recently gay bar owners sponsored a party night with free food for anyone and some still do. But, no doubt, it is increasing difficult to break into the social network.

In my experience it is not at all easy to meet gay expats in Pattaya without some sort of connection such as a friend of a friend. Wish I could assist you better. There are often parties being held at the gay bars where many guys go for the food and drink which may give you an opportunity to meet other gays. And you could casually strike up a conversation at a gay bar with someone by introducing yourself and having a chat.

There is also a shoe shiner who primarily works in Jomtien for many years. Known him for a long time but not many guys wear leather shoes anymore so his business is down but he does clean up sneakers/trainers/athletic shoes. Give him a try when in the Complex.

Not quite correct; many of the staff from Panorama and Castro did participate in the parade on 8 June.

Amazing, at least the writing skill of the journalist!

I would estimate that 50% of the Chinese customers, more female than male turn and leave immediately after entering ToyBoy. Could be 2,4, 6 customers who enter as a group at one time. It varies from day to day so no precise figures. Perhaps they are intimidated by the scantily clad males or maybe they are looking for something more akin to BBB or who knows? Normally I am there about 9 pm to 10 pm, after that I am not sure of the dynamics other than many Chinese do go to BBB.

Boyz, Boyz, Boyz and Toy Boys are as different as day and night! In BBB the dancers just stand on the stage, in their jeans, from about 9pm until show time while at Toy Boys the dancers are wearing the briefest of briefs and move about on the stage and flirt with the customers. Drinks are 350 in BBB and 250 in Toy Boy. BBB relies on their Chinese customers while Toy Boy attracts both Farang and Chinese. What is weird is there may be 2 to 6+ Chinese customers walk into ToyBoy, look around, and then walk out for no reason at all. The ones who walk in BBB do so about 10 pm and stay for the show.

I have seen Bob here and there but primarily in the company of a mutual friend of about the same age at some sort of social function. Most recently at a birthday party in Jomtien Complex.

I did a little research on Thai nicknames and found the following site which may help in understanding nicknames. https://www.bananathaischool.com/blog/thai-nicknames/

GOP/GOLf is just a name, same as "orson" your screen name.

I was 60 on my first visit so , in comparison, you are a young traveler! Enjoy every minute of your adventure.

There is still one, the same, security guard walking his beat in Sunee.

The owner's name is Mama Pea (spelling ?

Tuberculosis is a frequent complication of HIV+. I had one Laos friend die from TB who had HIV another friend with HIV also has TB.

There is a go-go bar in Boyztown proper where the drinks are 250 Baht but, I believe, the second drink in on the house. Whether this applies to one and all I don't know, maybe just to good customers??? Not to tease you.😁

I truly like Winner Bar and enjoy the boys, but there is another go-go bar in Pattaya with an even better value with two good drinks for 150 Baht in total. But one must be a VIP customer to receive this special. Cannot mention the name of the bar.

I believe you mean Baht Bus ( Pickup truck bus, 10 Baht) as I have not seen any tuk tuk (3 wheeled transport) in Pattaya. Also can use a motorbike taxi 80/ 100 Baht or a Bolt car 100+ Baht or Taxi.

🤢🤮

Supertown is the newly coined word for Jomtien Complex.

Last night in Supertown, M Bar was very busy with many customers and boys. M Bar is not on the main soi in Supertown but on the next soi over, near Agate Hotel

In Boyztown, Copa is a good place to stay with very nice rooms. Copa is across the soi from Ambiance.

In Thailand it is the custom to remove shoes upon entering someone's house and it is the same in Quebec, Candada.

I do notice some twinks at Soda Massage in Jomtien Complex, so worth a try. In Sunee Plaza there is Winner Boy Bar which usually has 10 boys on stage and primarily twinks. There is a recent post on this forum with photos of Winner Bar. In Boyztown there is Toy Boys and Classic Boys both of which have some twinks in their repertoire.

Thanks for all the "likes".

These photos were published on Facebook. I was seated with the dancer in first photo on the right plus another dancer wearing glasses and jeans.
