Guest Ltonio Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Please apologize for this so innocent question, but i went last month in pattaya for the first time and i was surprised to see at Jomtien beach that the cuttest boys were all "engaged" with other farangs. The singles boys smiling and trying to get me did not seem to me very attractive. So i guess i missed something... Can somebody explain me how it works ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaybutton Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Can somebody explain me how it works ? Thanks Like anything else, it is a question of being in the right place at the right time. Without knowing what you consider to be the most attractive boys, I suggest being at the beach between 1:30 to 2:00PM. That's when most of the boys start showing up. Some days a great many boys come to the beach and some days they don't. You never know. It also helps to make sure you are sitting in the gay beach area. I once received an E-mail from someone who couldn't understand why he was never able to find boys at the beach. After a few E-mails went back and forth, I finally realized the problem was he was sitting at the wrong part of the beach. If you spot a boy you find attractive and is not already otherwise engaged with a "farang," simply smile and signal him to come over to you or go up to him and say hello. Usually, that's all it takes. Only yesterday one of my closest friends, who almost never comes to the beach, surprised us all by putting in an appearance. It didn't take him long to realize what he had been missing all this time. Only two seats away he spotted a boy who was extremely attractive to him. He signaled the boy to come over. Needless to say, my friend did not leave the beach alone. Somehow, I have a feeling he won't be such a stranger at the beach anymore. I have two suggestions if you find a boy at the beach who you wish to take with you or arrange to meet later in the evening. The first is to pay his beach bill. It probably won't amount to more than around 100 baht or so because most beach boys who are there looking for "farang" can't afford to run up a bill more expensive than that. The second suggestion is to make sure he has his national ID card with him. Check his age. This year, on the Thai calendar, is 2550. That means his birth year has to be 2532 or earlier for him to be 18 years old. Since this is still the early part of January, then I would suggest making sure he was born in 2531 or earlier to be sure he has actually reached his 18th birthday. Also, you want to make sure he has his ID card with him when you take him back to your room. That's your only security. Without the ID card you have no way of knowing who he is, in case of any trouble. Make sure the front desk checks his ID card to make sure it's really his and that he is also of legal age. Also make sure the front desk holds his ID card while he is with you and will not give it back unless you personally accompany him when he leaves or they call your room to make sure everything is ok. Make sure the boy understands that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sydneyboy Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Is the "right" part of the beach that area in front of the Rabbit Resort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaybutton Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Is the "right" part of the beach that area in front of the Rabbit Resort? Yes, although that's just about the limit of the gay beach area. If you are coming up the walkway from the 7-Eleven - Police Box area, the gay beach area starts just beyond the Avalon Hotel. You'll see the circular public restroom. That's where it starts. Once you get as far as the Rabbit Resort, that's about where it ends. Most of the boys sit closer to the public restroom area up to the "Jim's Beach" concession. It starts to thin out after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest luvthai Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 That is very sound and sensible advice gaybutton and one can never be too careful with beach boys. I have been going to thailand now for 12 years and have never taken a beach boy off. I prefer the security of being able to go back to the bar manager if there is a problem. As long as one uses common sense and doesn't let the little head do the thinking for the big head they should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buaseng Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 ........one can never be too careful with beach boys. I have been going to thailand now for 12 years and have never taken a beach boy off. I'm with you. One problem is that some of the boys - (by no means the majority, I admit, but it is difficult to differentiate) have been thrown out of bars because they have been diagnosed with STDs (or worse), are drug users or because they have been accused or found guilty of stealing from customers and have gained a reputation which prevents bar owners from employing them . They therefore frequent the beach looking for punters. The problem is not great but any newcomer should be aware of the possibility.
