May seem like a strange question but I'm fascinated to know why. Why do you prefer Bangkok over Pattaya ? Now I'm a City boy here in my own country but for many reasons I don't like the City of Bangkok when it comes to taking guys. Love to read some of your reasons, I guess there's a lot more muscular type guys in Bangkok where Pattaya has more twinkish ? I like Bangkok for a few days then I need a "relaxing" place to get away to.

I haven't watched Gay Adult DVDs for years because one can get it online for free nowadays ,but my question is do they still sell the Adult porn DVDS in the markets in Bangkok? In Pattaya they used to come around on the motorbike,do they still do this? I actually had a farang friend mention this to me today that he used to come back with 100's of gay porn DVDs ,not something I would do particularly if customs would have to go thru each one of them.😂 How times change, I remember also the internet cafes , now all gone and I think replaced by the gaming places. Who used to remember the telephone places 20 years ago where you could call back to overseas . What about the shoe polisher, haven't seen him for years 😂 Had a work colleague mention to me about the roaming elephants in Pattaya when he went in 2003 and I'm glad their long gone !! I always thought it was cruel What I find particularly strange after watching a recent YouTube video of a guy walking Pattaya is the rise of the kebab shops, they seem to be on every corner !😮

Well next week can't come fast enough,back in Pattaya after 3 & half years !😉 Any updates on the Jomtien complex? How is the Venue show nowadays, I used to go every night years ago, who can forget Madame Karen & those wonderful dancers, Home Bar was one of my favorites along with cocka2 then. A lot of new bars I guess ,pity they don't allow the Go Go bars . As for food is " Timmies" still operating , my favorites pie shop . What was the other one called, great cheap food place opp the carpark where you could sit outside. I wasn't keen on Dick cafe if that still there , loved sitting outside on the opp side though and chilling with a ice coffee. Thai blind massage was fantastic,used it everyday ! Yupins another great restaurant, the owner was a fine gentleman who looked after his customers. I also heard some bars from the old Sunee had moved ( before Covid) to jomtien ?

Grindr used to be good until about the last 12 months they took away the ability to "search" for a particular race . Eg I used to search Asian only, you can't do that anymore .

Was it busy in Boyztown?

I wonder if there are still reasonable hotels in Sunee ? I remember the marina plaza

Great reports Jason. If you don't mind me asking ,what is the average rate in Bangkok for short time, what were the boys happy with?

I wish I had enough confidence to ask guys upfront that I fancy. I know a few other posters I see ( on other boards) who post how they asked the bellboy or the motorbike taxi driver etc and they do it with confidence not concerned how what the reaction would be I'm always scared I would get a punch in the mouth or something 😂

Yes !! Too many bad experiences. Once taken to a side entrance from the airport to a waiting limo trying to get me to change over The next time the driver agreed on 1300 baht ( this was a few years ago )only on the freeway to ask for 2000b No I would rather book and have someone waiting ,someone reliable and that way no hassles just get in and go .

Next week I will be arriving in Thailand after 3 years away 🥳🥳🥳 Whilst I haven't booked hotels yet I'm pretty positive I will go to jomtien,so I'm wondering if you guys have any contact for a reliable car service from Bangkok to jomtien on a late evening flight arrival. I'm not after the cheapest,I'm prepared to pay up to b3000 as long as it's reliable,I don't want to start trying to call them etc on arrival. I could contact the Zing where I'm going to stay but I doubt they have a car service? Gone are the days where I just used to arrive and haggle any taxi on arrival only for them to change their price half way to Pattaya 😆

Thanks Vaughn, I'm guessing mosaik isn't as popular now that Sunee is not really open , I had some great times at the Mosaik

Just reading the latest news on Thailand legalising marijuana this week. I think it's great that times are changing all over the World . I'm not into drugs taking of any sort but it's no use fighting a war over a drug that doesn't seem to make people violent.( Unlike alcohol) I hope the rest of the world including Australia follows suit.

One thing I'm trying to plan this trip is to stay in Boyztown or near for several nights then jomtien complex a few nights, that way I can take guys from both areas without having to use transport for both of us But I'm just wondering how you guys get back to your room with the boy if your say offing a guy in Sunee and your hotel is in jomtien,do you use mb taxis or walk down for the baht bus or you have your own transportation? I just find it such a hassle to off a guy only to spend 30 minutes in traffic getting back to the room . Often I just hire 2 mb taxis for both of us . That's why this time I'm planning more to be closer to the bars .

What hotels do we have still going in or near Sunee Plaza ? Seems mosaik is still going,although last time I stated there I ended up in a small room with a window view of a tiny laneway and facing a brick wall 😆

So did any of you guys get punched in the ring ? I'm sorry,bad joke !🤣

Yeah I prefer the written diary too,but I'm trying to keep up with the times 😆

Just wondering what apps to download ready for my Thailand & Phillipines trip. For transport I have downloaded Grab , not sure if Bolt is another one that operates ? For meetings I have downloaded Grindr & Hornet,not sure if planetromeo could be another one along with blued? For communication I have download Line , although I have WhatsApp,I'm not sure what they use in Thailand. Also is there any apps that you use to record notes & trip report , that you say can include pics etc ,is that apps such as Evernote etc ?

How did you go about it? Did you approach him ?

He is very sexy😍😍😍

Going by their website , and I could be mistaken,but it looks like it is actually for this company to process your Thai Pass ? I can't see anywhere about providing fast track thru the airport?

Interesting hotel here I saw on the app,but too far away from the action. It has train carriages as rooms www.trainresort.info

Just talking to my Filipino boyfriend today and we plan to meet late this month after my visit to Thailand. He was talking about homophobia in the Phillipines etc and it made me remember the time in Pattaya where I came across "homophobic guys in a restaurant in the soi bukhao area ,two men and a lady farang all drunk of course decided to move away from our table citing description profanities , I didn't even get into a conversation with them,but peculiarly they chose the table right next to ours despite their being umpteen tables to choose from,it didn't concern me as the Thai boy I was with didn't understand a word they said ,he was completely oblivious to it 😆 That was like 2009? 2008 So times have changed Have you ever experienced this ? As far as i remember it was once only in 20 years of coming to Thailand I have never been to the Phillipines and don't plan on holding hands or anything as I said to my Filipino friend. I think times are changing and young people nowadays are much much more tolerant and educated about gay people . Schools are teaching about transgender & gay partners etc and I think it's great , I think the only times you need to be wary of is straight guys our age who are not brought up to accept gay people. The younger farang are much more accepting and with tiktok etc there is much more awareness , but people our age 50ish ..60ish etc are still held back in time And I think another thing too, if your a older man with a younger partner I think people still think that is strange, particularly if your partner is say 30 years younger than you . I was reading the comment section of a tiktok video a older gay man in his late 50's with a Filipino boy in his 20's , unfortunately some of the comment especially from middle-aged females were horrendous describing the Farang guy as you know what that starts with P.

I'm definitely going to check out Classroom on my next trip 👍

2500 short time?...wow..these are Western prices !

Is the mosaik apartments still going ? Haven't seen them in the hotel apps lately. I noticed Rabbit resort advertised at 3k a night, haven't stayed there in like 15 years,but for that price I won't be rushing back .
