Bar Bits

[Gaybutton]

Last night I did a little bit of bar hopping in Pattayaland. Many of you are familiar with the Star Boys bar, the one that for so many years sat all by itself across Second Road from Pattayaland, Soi 1. Now they've closed it and re-opened a new Star Boys in Pattayaland, Soi 1. I gave it a try and I liked it. There's really nothing different about it from any other typical Pattayaland bar, but some of the boys in there are really cute. However, if you're into the Tawan type muscle boys, then that's the wrong bar. All drinks are 150 baht and the "off" fee is 300 baht.

 

I also went to the Serene Bar, in Pattayaland, Soi 3. It's a host bar connected with the Serene Hotel, right in the heart of Pattayaland. It's at the corner, next door to the Panorama Pub. In all the years I've come to Pattaya, last night was the first time I ever went to the Serene Bar. Now I'm kicking myself for never having gone before. I really enjoyed it. Most of the boys are really cute and they see to it you have a lot of fun there. All are at least 18 years old. One boy, who I thought was about 20 years old turned out to be 30 years old. I could hardly believe it. He didn't look anywhere near 30, but nevertheless he was. Drinks there are 95 baht. The "off" fee is 300 baht. One of the things I liked most about it . . . no music blaring at you. No music at all. Thank goodness!

 

As I was leaving Pattayaland I ran into three boys who had been working at the Happy Bar, the one that suddenly closed a week or so ago. I knew two of them. They told me they were not informed that the bar was going to close. They came to work and everything was locked. They were not paid after working for an entire month, something I think is reprehensible. They said the owner's boyfriend told them the bar is closed because the owner is in a hospital in Bangkok and plans to reopen about a month from now. I told them the story I heard was a little different from the one they were told.

 

They told me they are now looking for work. They don't really want to go to another bar, but if they can't find anything they have no choice. They said several of the boys who had worked with them gave up on Pattaya and went back to their home villages, broke and disillusioned. They had no money to pay their rent. Others, they said, went to the Look Bar, the new name for the Y2K bar in the Sunee Plaza area. A few are remaining in Pattaya and trying to find other work or other bars. Some are going to try the beaches.

 

As an aside, at the beach yesterday I ran into Eric, from the Clubber's-Jungle Boys-Don Plaza group. He confirmed that he is no longer with that group and just wants to relax for some time before deciding what he wants to do next. He said he has made no decisions yet, but he does wish to stay in Pattaya.

I appreciate that and I'll try. I'll be out of town for the next several days. When I return I'll probably do some more bar hopping. I really don't go to the bars more than a few times per month, if even that much, but every so often I like to go and see what's happening and if there's anything new that might be of interest.
