Most enjoyable reports. I was happy not to know about where you/we actually were, as it allowed all the focus to be on the relationship, on which you write entertainingly, and leaves the posts not cluttered up with the travel details. Perhaps a little travel detail summary only at the end of the journey, which i am looking forward to continue.

And purely for the purpose of advising others of the veracity or otherwise.

I'm not convinced! I think we need another photograph to prove it!

Thanks for the feedback. When I go into a new area(relatively) I like to look like I know where I am going ! And when I read recommendations for venues I like to be able to work out exactly where they are, rather than wandering through an area looking for the promised land! Somebody recently did a great job of updating the new locations of the Patong area bars on a map, so I was hoping for the same for Pattaya, as new bars open and old ones close. The online Thai Puan map is a good starting point.

Can anyone recommend some Gay Pattaya maps that cover the area of Boyztown, Sunee and Jomtien. Been so long since I went there that it's all a little unclear to me, and there have been so many changes in the venues. Many thanks

Great and fun reports thanks! A minor point on the Patong Map. I think Patong Soi One and Two are the wrong way round. That is the Soi on the right hand side with Foodland is marked as Soi One, but should actually be Soi Two. The original Patong is Soi One.

When in Thailand I remember in the Bangkok Post Travel supplements often seeing special discounted local hotel rates that are only available to local residents, which would be Thai and Farang I assumed.

Very dry and entertaining report, thanks!

Where better to celebrate the year of the pig than in Pattaya. So much moo daeng on display.

Therefore the story is second hand, not first hand as you originally stated.

I was having drinks with a thai friend at a beer bar in Patong. The truck driver, who was an acquaintance of his, was passing by, and we invited him to join us for drinks. After several more drinks and some sweet talk, the three of us ended up back in my room!

I picked up a "straight" truck driver once in Thailand. When we were in the room he made it clear that he wasn't gay and no way was he going to suck cock. Once this was accepted he couldn't wait to bury his tongue in my ass! Go figure!

GWMinus provides an excellent list of books. Particularly recommend the books of Pira Sudham, about village life, which are I think fairly autobiographical.

It doesn't appear from your quote that the author is confusing Soi Twilight with Patpong, as it does indeed run off Surawong, in the entertainment district known as Patpong.

Try telling that to the Rohingya in Burma. Those peaceful Buddhists seem to be committing some horrific acts there.

Why is that a surprise?

Very entertaining and droll reports, thank you

This doesn't make sense. Why would anyone be upset by you liking the guys so much that you wouldn't kick any of them out of bed?

Yes, Was really surprised not only that the oil wasn't washed off, but additionally that it was used as extra lube. I had always understood that was unsafe. Reports are great of course many thanks.

Thanks Rob, that's an interesting website.

Hi Floridabob. Tell us more about Brazil.

Learning about Middle Eastern history forty years ago does not make you an expert on what has happened in Eastern Europe in the last twenty years! It's irrelevant! So just make your points without claiming without claiming some patronising intellectual superiority.

Do stop going on about majoring in history(forty years ago?! as if it gives your opinions any more weight than anyone else's!

Firecat do you go out of your way to be offensive, or does it just come naturally to you? Seems like a regular occurrence here.

P.S. No matter what you think about Hedda (who was active in this thread), he always thought that Burma may become an attractive gay destination if democracy movement wins. Hope he was right. RIP. Hedda is dead?
