Give me appointments anytime over that hit-n-miss experience. I haven't been to Pattaya since early 2020, before the pandemic hit. Is A-Bomb still going? It was one of my favourites then.

I visited A-Bomb in January of this year as I was staying at the hotel directly above. On the night I went, it was very low on customer numbers (perhaps 3 or 4), and very low on boy numbers (I think only 1 or 2). The show still went on but I think it was outsourced as these boys left straight after the show. I only went that one time so I cannot comment on whether it would be busier on other nights or not.

I bumped into the manager of A-Bomb in a host/karaoke bar last weekend, he said that the bar is open for the show only and that they currently have no floor boys

They just want to experience the shows - thus the reason why most successful bars in the area have multiple shows per night. Unfortunately a-bomb has only a single show, and quite a short one at that
September 11, 20251 yr I remember chatting with some Japanese and Taiwanese guys around ten years ago. They were in their own groups of 2 or 3 and the conversation developed around nightlife. I asked what they liked most about Bangkok. The universal opinion was that all planned in their separate groups to go for massages, then to a gogo bar and finally to a disco like DJ Station. I rather innocently asked what type of boys they liked to take off from the bars. None, was the answer. They only went to see the shows. None of them had ever offed a guy! Going to a disco to end the evenings was the priority. Given that this was the relatively new market starting to invade the gay scene in Thailand, it made me just a litte concerned about the future. Bars with boys for offs would obviously survive with the western tourists who still visited in some numbers and other individual Asians. But if a majority of Asians were not in the market for offs, I wondered how the bars would survive in the longer term. I still wonder!

I was in A-bomb a few months ago and my experience was the same. Only 3 customers for the short and not impressing show, maybe 5 boys who all quickly ran out of the bar and disappeared when the show ended. Drinks 350 baht I think it was. I am not in a hurry to return. It was a good bar 10 years ago.

On my last visit most boys I observed siting with customers in various bars were sitting with Asians , not farangs. And quite a few offs by Asian could be seen as well

I'd personally find it an invasion of privacy. Also, they could be in relationships or simply don't want their friends to know what they've been up to in their private time.

September 15, 20251 yr How are places like Soi Cowboy and Pattaya's Soi 6 coping with the drop in tourists? They seem to be open in the afternoons, of course....does that help? I've always felt that one of the advantages the apps have over gay go go bars is that company is available 24/7. I used to hate waiting until 2100 to begin my adventures.
September 15, 20251 yr I went to Dreamboys (opp to Xboys Pattaya) and I paid 550THB to the bar to off the guy and paid him 2000thb directly. The drinks were either 200 or 250 thb each for me and the guy. Dreamboys had about 10 to 12 guys on stage all shirtless.
