I walked by today and here’s a quick update. They were working on the bar with the question mark and I saw the owner of M-Bar there so it looks like he could be adding it to his existing portfolio on M-Bar and Sunee Bar. I should have taken a photo when I went by the first time and the door was open.

The Dragon Music Lounge will be reopening soon under new ownership. A guy at Sunbar told me it’s going to be called PP Bar.

Fun Bar is undergoing major renovations. I’m not sure if the name will change.

as soon as you went in, the boys would whip out their cocks for inspection,  and immediate use! That was very popular, and I assume that it was clamped down on?

by mouth or ass?

We can only hope that the re-imagined "Fun Bar" might actually be fun, not yet another boring "sit-down-and-drink-bar".  As someone who drinks very sparingly, I've always wondered how I should behave in such bars. Ordering a coke or nam som only leads to a sugar high. Ordering a ginger ale doesn't seem appropriate either and makes one feel wimpish. Or, gasp, asking for an ice water. Really this has bugged me for years, and, on occasion, has led to my drinking alcohol more than my body appreciates, which I later regret and certainly isn't "fun" for me. At least, thank god, most of the bars now prohibit smoking. I say "most" because last time I was in A-Bomb most of the depressed customers were smoking like chimneys.

ask if they have hot tea or coffee, some bars may have it and often it's what I order if i feel overdrinked already after bar hopping

I wonder why you feel that way. For health reasons, several decades ago I had to stay off the booze for a year. This was a time when everyone drank considerably more than they should have - and then got into their cars to drive home! Going out with friends and work colleagues, i got so tired of being constantly encouraged to have a drink. So I hit on the idea of my ordering a ginger ale as soon as I arrived at a bar. That stopped the pestering if only because it looked like a whisky soda.

The new sign is up. The guys working/sleeping there told me they open in early December. 

Water sports club?

How do you tell the difference?

Putting the “fun” back in Fun Bar

Can anybody here imagine these Jomtien Complex bars making money? 

Maybe the most profitable business is that of a redecorator, considering the way these bars come and go.

those which are closing , probably no. Those which stay open, some for quite a long time, probably yes.

Am I concerned ? Not at all

he is working overtime so he can afford to stay in Capella again and doesn't have time to respond

I noticed on my last visit my favourite bar the Dragon lounge was closed down 

There was 2 cute Indian /Nepalese boys in there earlier this year 

Never did see anyone in there 

 

Nepalese boys in Pattaya ?. My only interaction with Nepalese was 15 years ago when I was part of a 2 week trekking holiday into the high mountains. They carried our bags and generally looked after us on the trail. Tough friendly young guys .

They brought in Gurkhas when they heard Olddaddy was coming to town.

@Olddaddy you realise, I hope, that one sentence contradicts the other. 🤣

There was a Nepali guy working at the now-defunct Tawan a few years back. And a tailor shop up Silom Road that I have used on a few occasions has Nepalis on its staff.
