I’ve tried a few times to locate this book on Amazon and kindle without success. I’ll have to try and find it during my next trip coming up soon. in fact there appears to be nil books of particular interest to us gays available there, whereas the literature coveting str bars, girls, walking street etc etc even ladyboys is substantial. Doesn’t bother me too much as my attention is directed towards other lea-sure activities whilst in Pattaya. One sequence of posts on YouTube is however of definite interest to me concerns the twice weekly late night Cabaret shows at The Venue Jomtien Complex which feature very hot boys dancing in briefs creating a show and a rosing the mainly male audience. Can’t wait to be there in person. Anyone seen the show ?

Barry Kenyon is also the author of another great book about Pattaya in which he talks about his experiences dealing with British visitors and expats and their disasters and problems. Basically “Brits in the Shit.” Hell of a good read. I downloaded it from Amazon a few years ago.

making a series like daddy’s Asians would pose a number of challenges but would appeal to me, of course with myself taking the star daddy role. - I would need good equipment - movie camera and lighting. However they could probably be hired. Presumably the cameraman would be gay. How to prevent him exceeding his role and joining the action ?. He would also be a producer, giving the star instructions so as to film the best and most appealing sequences. - Recruitment of the boys how ?I would be worried that they would go to the authorities. How much to pay them ? Would you inform the venue what was taking place. I would need some guidance and expertise as to how to launch the material on the internet,. I don’t think,YouTube would be possible. Definitely not. How to moneterise allowing payment by card i wonder how much money Ken made for his efforts ? He certainly seemed to enjoy himself. Does he worry about all that unprotected fucking, sucking and rimming. -.

Thanks guys for your up to date impression of the Complex which I read with interest as I’ve just booked a trip in January, commencing with a few days in the Complex. Londoner mentioned the Agate hotel, which I tried to book but they had no availability for my dates. High season of course, when the boys are at their happiest.

Great report Foolish particularly as regards your visits to Toyboys and Koh Larn. I always incorporate a trip to the island during my visits to Pattaya, choosing to go when I have acquired an attractive “boyfriend”, buying him some sexy speedos, and when the weather is good. I like Nual beach in the south with its tribe of monkeys, but beware of sharp coral when going into the water, which can give you a souvenir of a nasty cut on the feet. Renting a motor bike is a great way to see the island provided that you have the confidence and experience of bikes. Can be a great day at low cost in contrast to a visit to Toyboys with its rip-off drink prices, although they do have some of the hottest boys.

About 10 years ago I became friendly with another gay Brit who had developed a considerable ability in verbal and written Thai language including its dialects in Isaan and Cambodia. This ability he often did not reveal to Thai people including during his interactions with bar boys. Whilst I sat with him in bars enjoying drinks he amused me sometimes by telling me what the boys were saying about us and generally. We kept in touch but his visits to Pattaya ceased after he started an immigration advisory business back home in England.

Love their gold briefs and the outline of their delicious cocks

Interesting thread. I’ve never given kissing much thought, as opposed to anal and oral intercourse. But on reflection of my latest boy orientated trip to Pattaya I realise that I did kiss them in bed during offs and also whilst visiting gay bars. At the Complex looking for boys to off I usually moved from attempts at conversation towards kissing which on one occasion was refused, but more frequently the kiss was welcomed by boys, encouraging me to slide my tongue in their mouths, which I found erotic, leading to the boy being either offed or being given an advanced tip. I would however agree with spoon that rimming is even more intimate.

Since Covid I’ve stayed at the Zing Resort maybe 6 times as it’s now become my hotel of choice whilst in Pattaya, being gay friendly and of course close to the Complex bars. My overnight boy companions vary, sometimes “boyfriends” I have with me for several days, one night offed boys, rarely two of the latter, and at the other extreme a solitary overnight. i rather like the zing hotel buffet and usually invite the “boyfriend type” to eat with me. Seated on the terrace occasionally you encounter a variety of customers, sometimes others with boys, sat alone, in groups or on one recent occasion an Aussie with an overnight girl. Reactions to me and my boy vary from complete indifference, muttered “morning” to, and in the case of a guy with boy, asking to share a table and chat when it was busy. I’ve never had an adverse reaction - it’s Pattaya after all ! Generally with overnight boys you get those who want to leave plus tip at the earliest opportunity and those who are hard to get rid off even when cleaners want to do their work, which is difficult when confronted with a naked boy in the bed.

Yes it’s definitely gay friendly like all the hotels in the Complex. I’ve stayed there a number of times and enjoyed sitting round the outdoor pool accompanied by boyfriends. Gays, like myself, seem to co-exist amongst the straights there without problems. There is a variety of room types and the breakfast restaurent is rather good. The Ganymede gay sauna is history.

Been going to Pattaya for more than 20 years after being advised during a casual conversation in a pub back home. ive tried Bkk but never really got into the groove. Pattaya’s a drug from which you cannot get a cure. I’ve always enjoyed the gay scene there and of course the boys.

Year 2002 - all I owned technology wise was a pc and I couldn’t take that large heavy object to Thailand during my boy orientated trips. Internet cafes seemed to emerge around 2005 and soon every Soi had them. I don’t remember the DreadedNed website, what was that all about ?. Talking to Pattaya gay old timers I would say that the period 1998 to about 2004 was the golden age for gay travel to Thailand.

The striking new entrance to the Complex will help to attract newly arrived gay or bisexual visitors to Jomtien who are perhaps not initially aware of the attractions for them within. That was my situation 22 years ago (pre social media) when I arrived in Pattaya for the first time with a gay friend and didn’t know where to go. The new logo and carpet makes it obvious.

Good advice from Vinapu, as usual. Over the years it’s always got me frustrated when I have entered a Gogo and see a hot boy on the stage. But by the time I have gone through the ritual of ordering my drink, another customer has motioned him over and has proceeded to enjoy the boy’s charms. Does the guy know that I have claimed the boy in my horny mind !. Eventually I call over a substitute and almost immediately my rival pays his bin, tips the boy and departs, after which the boy disappears back stage or wherever.

Going back to my original post above about boy parading and lift sharing, I have tried to recall an instance of the latter during my one week stay at the Classroom, which was six months ago, since when I have made another trip to pattaya. After a couple of days there I realised that most of the other guests were not gay - only one I chatted too whilst having a snack in the bar was, and he didn’t have the same focus as myself - ie boys. it was when I had offed a twink from the Complex and had returned with him in tow entering by the side door. It took a couple of minutes for the lift to appear by which time another guest entered with a rather attractive girl who clattered along in her high heels towards the two of us. The four of us got into the lift. My boy and the girl just stared at each other, but the guy just said “good hotel” to which I replied “suits me”. Just a tiny interaction between two Pattaya sex tourists, co-existing with different orientations.
