Very nice Abang - I would love to join you on that beach wearing one of my thongs. I have several from when I used to holiday in Gran Canaria at the gay resort of Playa del Ingles. Mind you they often came off particularly in the dunes behind the beach. I took them to Pattaya on my first visit intending to wear them at Dongtan, but I discovered the dress code there to be rather more modest !.

I often wonder what goes through the minds of the boys we bring back to luxurious hotels such as the Renaissance, Taratawan or even the Ambiance in Pattaya. They are a world away from the extremely basic rooms with rough beds or no beds at all, troughs of cold water, and concrete floors, that they seem to inhabit. I suppose it's what they are used to at their home in Isaan. I once asked a hot boy, who I had given a few thousand baht to and who didn't spend many nights not in the bed of customers, why he didn't upgrade his room. I got the impression that he didn't value the comforts that we in the West regard as essential.

Guideneeded Yep you got me there. I was able to edit this guy out and replaced him by sand. He was wandering about looking for a 10 baht chair and a 50 baht massage.

More boys on the beach required like this cutie.

4500 baht for a room ?. I have never paid anything like that in Thailand, even though I am well able to afford it. I suppose I am a cheap Charlie at heart. I stayed at the Tantarnwan last August and that was good enough for me. A very comfortable room and an excellent breakfast and of course close to gay bars. I think I paid about 2000.

Wish I was at Dongtan now, boys or no boys. I'm back home in England. It's pissing down with rain, cold and blowing a force 9 gale.

I paid another visit yesterday with my "boyfriend du jour". Really the weather is superb just now in Pattaya and has contributed very much to my holiday. I'm not looking forward to returning home in a few days. I decided to top up my tan by sun bathing a little but if course the boy didn't want to expose his pale body to the rays, so I paid for three chairs - 2 under the umbrellas and one near the water. I had him spread some low factor sun cream on me and minimised the area covered by my speedos. After half an hour I joined him back under the umbrellas to assess whether I was burning and to have a drink and a cuddle with him. I repeated the process a couple of times. I have an average skin as far as tanning is concerned so it is important not to overdo it. The boy laughed at me that night when I stood before the mirror admiring my tan before we got into bed.

Yes the boys seem to have deserted the beach unfortunstely. It's probably as a result of gayromeo. A few years ago there was always a number of cuties in speedos, particularly in the late afternoon.

No sign of an election in Pattaya apart from no alcohol being served till 12 midnight. I think it will do many of the farang inhabitants good to give their livers a welcome rest

I've been in Pattaya over two weeks now and the bar closure last night was no problem for me at all. I stocked up with a few beers, small bottle of whiskey and mixer. My telephone has now accumulated a few phone numbers against I have recorded descriptions of the boys involved. I made an early evening visit to the Samsuk Sauna, which was rather busy with farangs and Thai boys, escaping the quiet bar areas. Later a couple of phone calls acquired for me a cute boy for the night.

You pay 240 baht for admittance which includes 2 large towels and one condom and a small sachet of lube, so not bad value. Any drinks and meals are paid for when you leave. You just quote your locker key number.

I went there yesterday evening at about 6 pm and was very impressed, now all the building work is complete. It was very busy with Russians, Thais (both older and some younger boys) and many older farangs. I tried the whirlpool (too cold), the steam room(really excellent) and the sauna, which is located in the upstairs cruising area. The top floor is virtually pitch black and maze like. I had discarded my towel and had entered wearing my speedos with condom and lube within them. The excitement soon had me erect and groping hands were soon on my dick. I found myself tongue kissing with someone I identified as Thai from his whispers asking me to enter a cubicle. We had good sex with him eventually topping me. After he left I lay naked in the cubicle leaving the door open for two others to enter for sucking and nipple play. I very much enjoyed the visit.

Perfect in pattaya

For me the situation is very straight forward. I am on holiday for sex pure and simple. I am a older gay guy . I like young 18-24 Thai boys and I pay them for their services. The best market for these services is Pattaya, where I am to be found 8 weeks of the year. I am not one of those farangs sitting on a bar stool all day cradling a bottle of beer. I like keeping fit so the gym and beach is my usual habitat until the sun goes down, when the search commences for that nights bed companion.

Rather warmer today with much less of a cool breeze. The sea was calm which tempted a few into the water. The beach was very busy with not many chairs available when I arrived at 2.30. Even a few females in the front rows several of whom were topless. What is our gay beach coming to ? I stayed till most of the umbrellas had been dismantled because the evening air was very pleasant.

Yes I was on the beach yesterday and felt rather cold under the umbrellas. In fact I kept my teeshirt on. The temperature was 27c at 2 o'clock but the cold was caused by the strong breeze from the North. Northern China and Japan are much colder than normal. Back in England the weather is very mild. No real snow and ice yet, but still 2 months of winter.

My experience is that most Thais can't use maps. In fact apart from road maps I have yet to find proper maps on the lines of the British OS or the French IGN, showing natural features. Maybe the military have them.

Yes good suggestion Vinapu Before I discovered Pattaya I used to holiday in Playa del Ingles in the Spanish Canary Islands, which has a gay scene and beach. There nudity is the rule, but some, like me wore outrageous thongs and g-strings. I still have a black leather thong, which I brought to Pattaya on my first visit, but I quickly discovered that this would not go well on Dongtan. Instead I wear speedos like most there.

I should have mentioned that as I was jogging towards Pattaya I had it in mind to visit the Samsuk Sauna enroute, but I got on the baht bus instead. Maybe I will go this evening to try to find some action in the cruising area. Yes I resent the inclusion of females onto the gay beach, however it doesn't matter so much now due to the absence of boys there. A few years ago there was always plenty wanting to hook up. I had a few beautiful experiences flirting, cuddling and playing in the water. Gayromeo is definitely to blame. I've been looking there but not yet made contact.

Hi guys Update on Dongtan Beach. I paid a visit this afternoon after a couple of hours in Tonys Gym 3rd Road. I'm on a weight reduction schedule involving only two low calorie meals per day and a restriction in beer intake plus excercise. I arrived about 2.30 and sat in the Rit concession quite close to the toilets where indeed the Fat Lady was no where to be seen. It was very busy and I had to sit near the back rather than close to the sea, which is my preferred location. The weather was rather cool with a breeze, making a resemblance to a good English summer's day. I was initially given a wrong user name for the wifi but than was sorted house, although the wifi strength is weak if many customers are logged on, which appeared to be the case. I was able eventually to download The Times, but later it was difficult to get onto Planet Romeo due to the signal. I enjoyed a couple of hours on the beach although there was a marked lack of eye candy. To return to Pattaya i found a lot of Russians at the 7-11 and the baht buses were passing full having got a full load further up the beach. I hate waiting so I set off at a slow jog intending to keep going till Pats. However at the top of the hill one stopped to let a couple off so I jumped on squeezing between the Russians, so only a couple of Kms jogging. So my trip has got off to a good start.

I just don't have this problem as I am a long stayer. In fact some boys have complained about this when I have topped them.

I would love to get my hands on that cutie.

Hi Giudeneeded The Dongtan Beach is certainly not a meat market now if it ever was one. To find it you turn right at the police station onto the pedestrian walk-way past the motor bike and car parking. After about 300 yards you will see on your left a toilet block with an old fat lady sat outside. Do not enter unless it is a case of dire necessity !. From there the beach is divided into sections or concessions providing chairs, shade and a food / beverage service. What is regarded as the Gay Beach are about 8 of these sections stretching maybe 200 yards. Most of the customers comprise older gay farang men who sit chatting, sleeping and reading, although increasingly the area is being encroached by women and families, often Russian. Some of the men have their young Thai boyfriends with them. A few Thai boys turn up in the late afternoon and attract attention from the farangs. This is a lot less common than a few years ago as a result of Gayromeo.

Yes I like it and have a few posts. I notice that there are more than 600 members. It's a pity that only a tiny proportion are active.

I think I prefer the high season, which I take to be Mid January to April. Christmas /New year is better described as Peak Season, and I have never been in Thailand at that time. I like to avoid 4 weeks of the worst British weather in January/February and I used to do that in the years before I discovered Pattaya. I used to spend a few weeks in Playa del Ingles on the Island of Gran Canaria, with its gay beach and nightlife. Ok hotels and air transport are more expensive than in low season. My air ticket for 15 January is £100 more and my hotel say 300 baht more per night. So for a 4 week stay I'm looking at maybe £268 or 15000 increase compared with my last visit in September. Not a major factor for me. Of course the Uk Pound has recovered to 53 from 44 in Sept - a really welcome development. I am a beach person and in low season there is a lot of rain so no beach for quite a few days. I dislike going into a bar or gogo and finding nobody else there, which is more likely in low season, I'm not really aware of any difference in what I pay to boys. And there is more of a selection in high season. Anyway I will perhaps revise my opinion when I get to Pattaya. I anticipate filing a report !.
