Just got back from a brief trip to Jomtien Beach for the weekend. I have never been a Pattaya fan and until this trip i just didn't understand the place. I must say this was one of the funnest trips i have ever had in Thailand. Or at least in the past decade or so. Where to start? Jomtien Complex wasn't too busy but not eerily deserted. I hate being the only customers in a bar and being sized up by all the boys. Most of the places on the main strip had some customers and it seemed just right to me. The price of the drinks is an absolute bargain. I live in Bangkok at the moment and have basically abandoned going to Soi Twilight because it is so expensive and it just doesn't seem so friendly these days. I prefer the company of Thai boys vs. VN or Cambodian guys and the fact I speak Lao a fair amount makes all of those Issan twinks nice for me to talk to in JT complex. I am a fan of the beer bar or terrace bar much more than gogos. In this sense JT is a great place for me. I tried Sunnee awhile ago but it seemed pretty dead Boyztown isn't my thing. JT in comparison seems relatively vibrant. The selection of twinks is pretty good. I love a twink with a nice pliable, bubble butt. There are plenty of these types to choose from. I stayed at Poseidon at the entrance of the main soi. I really enjoyed it there. I felt they really made me feel at home. The owner Heiko is a very friendly guy and all of the staff were as well, sometimes hilariously so. I said I can be a bit shy and he and a bunch of his German friends laughed and told me some of their antics, there was a feeling of camaraderie. The rooms are nice enough traditional sort of artsy fartsy boutique hotel furnishing. I mean that in a good way there is a sense of style there. The service is fantastic and you do not need to feel shy about taking guests here. And that is where we get to the part everybody reading a Pattaya report wants to read. The pool is very small but in an indoor air conditioned room with a small bar. In the day time it looks abandoned (of course this is low season so don't know how it is during the peak) but as their website discreetly informs you they are very friendly to guests and you can bring anybody you want to join you. Okay so what could possibly make a small indoor pool such a big detail in the reason I chose this place? Well my partner figured the formula out for this. Go out around the complex and round up about 4 available twink power bottoms, make sure they have speedos and bring them in to the pool after bar closing. We had the pool to ourselves and the really funny manager Lucky was installed to babysit us and keep our glasses topped up. I can not stress enough how funny and crazy Lucky is. He isn't my type or a twink but I can see he understands what I do like. He is just genuinely good company and a really playful light hearted man. He isn't an imposing presence and as soon as he comes in with the boys he makes it very clear you don't need to be shy just because he is there. He also drank and swam with us. Because he joined in the fun i felt much less apprehensive. He became more of a friend than some random staff member observing us. As far as the twinks go, now you are in the jacuzzi being served and surrounded by very friendly boys with sultry dick sucking lips and asses that are going to need to be accommodated at some point. My partner was drunk so I got a boy to go buy some kamagra gell for him to eat and he sat there the entire time with a hard on plopping out of his trunks with a twink on his lap with a big shit eating grin. He had never tried kamagra or viagra before. The boys were playful enough and although nothing too hard core happened in the pool area got a nice set of photos that are pretty horny for a souvenir. It could have probably got much more wild but I am not really into sex in public. Obviously if you aren't in the pool alone late at night you might exercise discretion depending on the vibe and who is around. One really cute boy was in the jacuzzi grinding his speedo clad ass into my partners willing face though, so it was close to becoming a bit heavier. If these guys are just doing it for the money they are very good actors because all of them were hard and demanding pretty constant attention. i guess with 4 of them around and only two farang, competition is a good thing. Lucky's BF showed up at some point, another nice Thai guy and they seemed amused at the circus atmosphere that had sprouted up. At some point Lucky went into the kitchen and brought out some plates of smoked salmon and sashimi with salad. There was a birthday party in the restaurant earlier and I assume it was left over from that but it was comped so it was a very nice gesture. It was also very good. We were spending pretty freely and the atmosphere was amazing so I am not sure if this would be normal or if they upped the service a notch because we were spending. I am guessing some combination of both. They have a great selection of wine at pretty good prices for a place in Thailand. I think we were paying just north of 1,000 Baht a bottle. But of course with 6 horny guys swimming we worked up a thirst so it does add up if you drink 6 bottles. lol In hindsight I might have suggested the boys drank beer to economize but you only live once. By this time i had other more pressing matters on my mind than my wallet anyway. We had a one bedroom suite and next time I will get the two bedroom. My poor back and knees had problems fucking the boy on a hard tile floor. They did bring a duvet and pillows for me as I explained the situation to them. Again Lucky seemed amused at my predicament, in a good way. My partner met me when I was myself a twink and we are an old married couple so we prefer to use and abuse boys in privacy apart from one another. The boy I ended up with was a hungry power bottom and that suits me just fine. At some point in the evening he was riding and grinding on it so hard I began to feel slightly used like I was simply some human dildo installed in the room only for his amusement. I quickly got over the shame of this. I don't have any idea of his name or if he is on GR or Grindr but Big kiss bar always had one or two twinks there. That is where I found him. Just look for the twink with the come fuck me eyes and he is easily spotted. Eating recommendation near there is Pastrami on Rye. Nothing satisfies a hunger inducing session of sodomy more than a pastrami sandwich. It is a match made in heaven. lol The car from Poseidon is good and the driver played western music at a tolerable level. it was also very spacious and comfortable. don't remember the make but it was a nice car and good service. Probably a couple hundred Baht more than you can get a car for elsewhere but no haggling and door to door service. I was feeling a bit queasy from the previous nights antics so appreciated the comfort. So the lessons I learned about the Pattaya area have made me change my mind about the place. My formula is like this. 1. Stay a shorter time but live better 2. Stay in a place that encourages and embraces your perversity. The hotel did not make me feel shy no matter what. Believe it or not I am a shy guy. I would never dream of dragging a crew such as this into my Bangkok condo. 3. Budget enough for the time you are in Pattaya to act on whatever deviant impulse you have and not worry. 4. Don't go to often. Simple point here if you go too often it is the same boys who get clingy and it would get old. I plan to visit maybe once every three months. 5. Even if you can get a hard on make sure to have viagra or kamagra so you can avoid whiskey dick. I find with myself I am actually a bit horny recounting this tale but i can have issues when demanded to perform. Condoms as well this should be self explanatory in this day and age. 6. Do not wake up before 2 PM. 7. The temples are great and so is the golf? lol My new budget for Pattaya is around $500 a day but I live in Bangkok so I can go anytime for just a weekend of filth and sleaze. This is a bit excessive and of course you can live on way less but the weekend I have just had was a lot of fun. This is enough to not even have to question your choice of meal, how many boys, or where you will stay with in reason. This is also for two people on a short holiday. Don't let my price estimate deter you, for what we got it was a bargain. This level of drunken, carousing, buffoonery in Bangkok would cost substantially more. It was like our 20 year honeymoon. I think I would get bored in Jomtien if I stayed any longer than a couple of days. None of it is all that expensive in and of itself it is just a question of how ridiculous/flamboyant you want to be. 1. Room: 2,600 that's a single room suite next time I would do the 2 bedroom suite for 4,000. so that is 8,000 for the weekend. 2. Boys: 300 each off fee and i tip the ones who stay 2,000 and the ones that don't 500. So that's 4,600 on this occasion. 3 Food: around 2,000 Baht a day for two people. 4. drinks: how long is a string? With wine and 6 people around 8,000 Baht a day. With wine even if the bottle is only 1,000 Baht each round is two bottles with that number of people. 5. limo service: 1,800 Baht as i said it is a nice care and you can get cheaper. So round trip was around 3,600 to central Bangkok, the airport is cheaper. 6. misc.: 500-1,000 Baht a day. Thats the basic break down of how the weekend went by price just to show how I arrived at the numbers I gave earlier. I am looking forward to doing my birthday party down there in October. So that's my trip report and i hope it wasn't too graphic for the sensitive virgin ears of this forums readers. It is the best gay holiday I have had in over a decade. Next time I would waste less money and time shopping around the soi and get some beverages in the room to save a bit.

Hi all, My first post but I've been reading a gay thai board on and off for four years or so, and have been to Thailand about six times now. Will be there again in 2014. UK discreet guy mid 30s in shape go to BKK for a mix of business and pleasure, i'm top/vers, like asian twinks of course but also westerners. easy going so get in touch if u like. I guess I want to have more fun! not just Babylon but more experiences i can't get elsewhere... also would like to meet BKK expats into the same stuff as this board , good (value) restaurants, street food, hot sex and massages, culture, ... be more social whereas i'm usually solo traveller who doesn't meet up with people enough. Brief trip report here of bits from the last few trips, unsolicited but i'd be so interested in any replies and advice. thanks. - Babylon is fun... like to wear a speedo under the towel, sit on the loungers by the pool, read for a while and ogle the eye candy... the coconut shakes are so good and maybe an occasional beer. I am average build usually but tend to diet in the spring so am slim and smooth. Haven't had any trouble meeting guys there. Have met some really nice types - one from singapore on holiday, one from philippines on holiday, some educated Thai guys... good chats over a drink and often fun after, and a couple of times walk back to my hotel for sleep and more fun in the morning. One or two are on touch on email. Best sauna I have ever been to... love the decoration and ambience. All is civilised, clean, good value. I always have a massage,just an oil one for an hour, prefer no hanky panky, just quite hard pressure. I can't help getting hard though sometimes, but part of the fun. - Tried Grindr last visit (Sep 13) which i dont do at home. Amazing - loads and loads of guys on there. with some filtering there are nice guys and cute. Love that it is location based and so u can even find guys in same hotel, altho chances are they are not my type or age range. i met a cute HK boy age 24, went for a drink and he came back to my hotel, the Ambassador, more below about the hotel. Hot fun he was twinky btm and i am more top so we enjoyed ourselves in the traditional way... (i fucked him in every possible way) happy face Never sat down at Telephone, Balcony etc - advice please! Happy to chat to boys and expats to see where it leads.. Restaurants - i am far too conservative, rarely try street food but want to, splash too much money on indian curry or italian food eg 750-1000B which might be ok value in UK but is too much in BKK. My fave place tho is the Bee Garden Cafe under the Skytrain at the corner between Chong Nonsi and Sala Daeng. Can be a bit hot but fans, lights, ice cold beers, extensive menu and very tasty thai food. I like the soups, curries, sometimes seafood, free peanuts and the banter of the owner and his waiters, who know me by sight now. I always am reading (a book not the tablet) and he asks what it is sometimes. He remembered what i had been reading last year. Is 70-100B for large beer I think, 100-200B for food dishes which are large and one with rice is plenty for a meal. You watch the world go by - traffic, sky trains, tourists... Before or after I wander through the street market towards Sala Daeng. Occasional DVD I can't resist; I marvel at the sex toys they have and am amused/alarmed by the tourist families with children who pass them... Mummy, what's that pink thing for? Recommend Luigi's near Asok BTS - cosy, delicious Italian food. Also I've had some great dishes at various places in Siam Square Paragon Food Mall. I know it's a tourist trap with high prices for BKK but I can't believe the range. There was a good Indian near Asok on Sukh Road, south side, in 2009-2012 but i could not find it in 2013. any ideas or recommendations for indian restaurants? I've had good Thai curries and beers on those market streets between the river and Khao San Road - not sure what they are called. Great value, good people watching, free wifi. u know the places? Please recommend (a) safe tasty fun street food places where I can sit and read and try a variety of things (not the small stools, proper chair!) (b) any other good value non-Thai restaurants in the centre-ish © maybe even places where i can start chatting to fellow diners : ) or cute boys : ) i'm quite sociable, promise Hotels - Ambassador, I really like. Yes it's a bit fading and not trendy but it's huge, good value, good wifi (Tower block only), nice pool, OK gym, anonymous - can bring joiners no probs. Great location - soi 11, Sukhumvit, with supermarket 50m away and great nightlife nr soi 11 - the cocktail buses are fun, and quite lethal! Aussie bar, Thai food, good laundry, travel agent, two Indians, diner just a few steps away in the soi, and Nana BTS is under 200m away. - Trinity Glow Silom was good, nice rooftop pool. Heritage on same soi Convent (?) was fine too - have not tried apartment yet - would you recommend? I tend to stay for 7-10 days at a time with a week away elsewhere in Asia between BTS - love it. use it all the time. Metro also. and airport link is excellent. Massages - Bablyon ones are the best real massages i've had - went to Banana about four years ago... fun but in the end the boy said i was too big and could not take it... :- ( - Hero have been to once, fine I think and i got to top the boy : ) - i really want a good thorough physical thai massage (no ending) but also separately sometimes up for a fun one with a cute boy. ive never had four hands so would like to try that. any recommendations? Pattaya - stayed for three days in 2012. enjoyed but didn't seem the pleasure paradise i had heard about! i prob didn't know where to go. This was pre Grindr obvs lots of expats around, which is cool but i didn't get to chat to any. could go again this year... u recommend? Koh Samui - love this island and go for 4-7 days when i can. no fun* but just relaxation, beach, coconuts, hiring a moped and zipping aroudn the island... bliss *except one night i had this 20ish boy called Am who worked in a gay bar on the main strip in Chaweng. Fun.. This is all i can remember at the moment but all feedback welcome also into 2nd hand bookshops (Sukhm and Khao San Rd good for these), dinner parties, conversation, drinks, fun... get in touch if you like All advice and contact welcome! tom
