Staying in Jomtien

[kram987]

I am going to be staying at Zing Resort.  Will boys from Boystown come back with me or will I need a short time room?

They will come back with you. They're used to that. A Bolt taxi is cheap and quick.

Agree, they will be quite happy to go with you to your hotel. Many will even have their own bikes; hope you're OK with riding pillion.

Ive had one case where guy reluctant to go to jomtien, because apparently the bar is having a party so insist on a short time room. But they do know where to find one. Most of the time, no issue. In some case, their house is actually nearer to jomtien than boyztown.

Over the years during my stays in the Complex, I’ve brought boys back to my hotel (mostly Zing) without problem. For recent visits it’s been Bolt Taxi, but in the past I’ve used motor bike taxis or a rented bike. When Sunee was a popular gay area there was always a waiting bike taxi outside Winner. Not sure I would ride pillion on a boy’s bike !
 

It would be great if Winner  survives and prospers, I loved that Gogo, but that’s another story.

It's long way for a motorcycle taxi. I wouldn't, but it has to be admitted that nowadays I find it hard even to get on the d**n thing. I remember too well my ride to Jomtien many years ago on a motor cy operated by someone who looked no more than fourteen. He had yet to learn the meaning of fear.

Go by car!

at least he was young. My most scary ride on motorsai was in Bangkok on Suthisan Rd and driver was at least 60 if not better. When arrived I was about to kiss the ground.

You must also check your travel insurance,

read the fine print 📘some will not cover you for certain bikes🛵🏍️ including being a pillion passenger

I've found that many boy find it convenient because they plan to hang out with friends in Jomtien at the end of the night anyway.

Of you don't want to get a car, you can also get the Bhat bus (songthaews)

[Travellerdave]

Yes I’ve taken the cheap option of the baht bus, normally from the bus rank at he junction of second road / south pattaya road to virtually outside the Complex. But this often involves waiting at busy times while the baht bus fills up. Not good when you have a hot boy with you !

Pay for a Bolt. The expense is minimal compared to the risk. I knew a bar boy very well who had a car and a motorcycle. He was a confident driver and drove both well, so I used to hop on the back of his bike and go for a late supper. A few months later I found out he was quite short sighted but was too vain to use his glasses at the bar. I’m still scared when I think of the accidents we could have encountered. Luckily we only went to places he was very familiar with and had the roads committed to memory. 

Edit: I and other members can also probably remember at least 1-2 bar boys who got into serious accidents on bikes, some even losing their lives. I just remembered I was told only last week that an ex Jupiter Vietnamese boy died in a bike accident recently. Then there was famous Mekhin who had entire side of his head and brain squashed in, at the start of Covid. Sorry to be a damp squib but I feel strongly about this issue. I would only suggest riding pillion if distance is short and boy is very sober, or under special circumstances like you have taken boy to Koh Larn or Koh Samet.
