williewillie Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The old Cafe Royale is being revamped and is now a live music show bar managed by the Boyzboyzboyz Bar. It was open tonight with a live 5 piece band, testing the sound system, the lighting etc. It will open for business on August 31. There’s a very large very modern electronic sign in English. The upper floors will be a renovated hotel with the Cafe Royale name and expected to open this November. There’s a large stage and excellent lighting and sound system. It will be loud. paborn and biguyby 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williewillie Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 All live music bars are loud in my experience in Thailand. No piano bars playing 1940’s - 50’s big band standards. All the doors were open last night. This new music show bar is not going to be targeted towards the older gay farangs. I still remember being temporarily deaf after leaving the old Hollywood club. The boys had to sit near the largest speakers. There was literally a wall of massive speakers. Once was enough. Never again. I went to a Thai party upcountry in a village. The live music was deafening but I was the only one who hated it. Another time we went out on a boat trip. No one told me it was a karaoke/ music floating raft. Deafeningly loud. Staying at a live music show bar hotel is probably only for those of us who are hard of hearing but there’s a possibility that the new construction will include sound dampening. I’m no doubt over amplifying the potential situation. Boyzboyzboyz management know what they’re doing and the new music bar will be in very good hands. 1moRussian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paborn Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I’m no doubt over amplifying the potential situation. Boyzboyzboyz management I'm not so sure. One consistent complaint about the Ambiance has always been the noise from the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travellerdave Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I stopped staying at the Ambiance because of the terrible noise from the early morning karioki, which killed the desire for sex with boys I had offed. I was thinking about giving it a another try, but probably not hearing about this latest development. biguyby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paborn Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm staying in Jomtien this trip but I'll look in at the Ambiance. The last trip I was there and it was fine. This new bar is across the street. I can't imagine it being a problem for the Ambience, however, there is a reason to be concerned about a refurbished LCR on top of it.

vinapu Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 In defence of all three Boyztown hotels / Ambiance , Cale Royal and Copa / I need to say that I stay many times in all of them and never found bar and street noise to be very big nuisance. Bigger one for me is navigating maze of corridors in Ambiance and fact that all soi sees who is my next companion but I like attention and I'm good finding way in the wild so still stay there gladly. biguyby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paborn Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I had several encounters with a lovely Ambiance massage guy who complimented me on my good taste as he had noticed how handsome all my offs had been. I was quite flattered. Didn't bother me at all. The maze of the Ambiance was the single biggest thing I worried about. I couldn't find the stairs under normal circumstances; to find my way out in a smokey fire was frightening. Honestly, the noise never bothered me. However, it consistently comes up so until the new LCR is finished it is hard to say what the sound dampening will be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travellerdave Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Paborn your reference to the Ambiance maze brings back memories for me. Once I brought back a boy I had offed and then had to wander about with him trying to locate my room looking for landmarks, such as a statue to help me. Very embarrassing !. On another occasion I had a GR boy turn up at reception. They phoned me and I told them to send him up. After 5 minutes he had not arrived at my door so I had to go in search of him in the corridors, where I found him. However I still have many happy memories of the place As an iconic hotel for gays. paborn, biguyby, vinapu and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paborn Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Last time I was there I was on the, in American parlance, second-floor front. First thing I did was check the window and the ledge to make sure I could climb out and drop down. It made me feel more secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williewillie Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 I reported earlier that the new music show bar would open August 31st. That was incorrect and it’s not open yet. Looks like another month till the opening. The hotel part still slated for November opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening night had many customers dancing and having fun. The gogo boys were all over, in the bar, out in the soi. Very easy to meet and friendly. The day of the older gay farang has passed and the target is the Asian customers, gay and straight, male and female. That’s the point and the way to survive and thrive for this boy bar. The formula for success is the Asian market. Toy Boys is next door and will benefit from the increased numbers of punters, drawn to Boyztown by Boyz Music. ggobkk and a447a 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
