When I first came to Thailand over 20 years ago my friends and I began our adventures in Bangkok for a few days and then off to Patttaya which we enjoyed and never returned to Bangkok other than on rare occasions. Just easier to get around Pattaya and cheaper!

Pattaya far better than Bangkok for a first timer.

Two for the price of one!

Not a butterface, a man of wax! A man, young lady! Lady, such a man As all the world — why, he's a man of wax. Nurse, Romeo & Juliet

It seems like some posters are in favor of circumcision does that also apply to female gential mutilation FGM aka female circumcision? Since the parents consent to FGM then it must be good for girls same as male circumcision of infant boys. If it's good for the gander it must be good for the goose! I might add that a young Thai man I know had to be circumcised as part of a medical procedure to remove an oil injection he had into his penis. He very much regretted the loss of his foreskin.

Easy money for the doctors in the USA to perform circumcisions.

In the Complex there is Yupins and Poseidon (upscale and popular) both are located on the main soi in the Complex. Across the soi from the other entrance to the Complex is Natans also popular. I would say that Poseidon would best meet your criteria. Reservations are often needed there.

I inquired at Winner Bar regarding Win and was told he is at home and is recovering.

Several months ago Win was very sick while on the stage and had to leave. He has not returned; there is reason for your concern.

There are many bars close to Venue with the type of boy you like. One is DoDo Bar, across from Venue, with boys actually dancing between the seated customers. A new bar, Best Bar/Boy just next to Venue plus many others. Divarium no longer serving food to my knowledge. There is a German restaurant across from Divarium, Dolce Vita, which is reasonable and popular. Plus Poseidon and Yupins. Near Soda Massage on the next soi over, there are several Farang and Thai restaurants.

A personal observation leads me to believe that, at least, 30% of the money boys are HIV+ in Pattaya.

Less than 120/80 per Harvard Health. http://content.health.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/bcaf1571-9128-4fc0-8354-52e157cb87d7.jpg

Jack passed away this past year; Ralph is still with us as is Oud.

Truth is, I did have a twin brother who did pass away. 😔

Kokopelli passed? I never knew that; sorry to read of his passing, he was like a twin brother to me.

Obviously the boy has been in a motorbike accident and his friends are helping him by pushing him around in a cart until he recovers.

A friend did tell me there is a place with the name "24 Hour" ?? on Jomtien Second Road not far from the Complex, with very nice rooms at an inexpensive price.

Yes, rooms are available in the Complex. Just have to ask at the bar.

More bullshit! Do you believe everything you read, especially from an unreliable source?

i can't say that I received any undue respect or admiration, because of my age, from anyone in particular in Thailand. Although the Chinese, Russians and Indians are, in general, rude.

100 Baht/day = 3000 Baht/month; $100/month = 3500 Baht. Not a big difference and there accommodations available in that range, although limited.

Menaughty, I hope you are feeling improved and on the way to recovery.

Simply fact is there are no aliens, from another world, visiting earth.

In Pattaya I don't recall if any massage shops list a minimum tip. However you can assume a minimum tip equal to what the massage house fee is. Others may say much lower! For a happy ending massage a tip to the masseur of 1000 is considered quite acceptable. Of course it could be higher or lower depending on your activities and how pleased you were.

Guess I am guilty of giving tips to dancing boys just because I like them! The boys are on stage for hours at a time and may not get an "off" so what is the problem in giving them a tip? I doubt that they have a work ethic that says "no tip accepted". Although I do touch the merchandise as I slip them the tip. 😜
