t0oL1 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Boys there last night were mostly sitting outside with customers at one huge table. A couple boys came inside with me for a while and danced . I was more happy with my favorite blue kamalazes with three getting downed rapidly. They didn’t have a chance 😛 Quote

Sitting in O Delices you can watch them coming and going 😉 The presence of so many cute guys around the Complex is really cheering. When I was a Boyztown regular I recall wandering through the JC after an afternoon at the beach and thinking how dull it was; not now. And I agree about Soda. The guys there are always so friendly even to those of us just passing by. And there are invariably plenty there, even in the early afternoons. Olddaddy and t0oL1 1 1 Quote

Travellerdave Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Gay bars in Pattaya need to make money just now whilst it is busy with drink sales and off fees, which are very reasonable at Winner. So as to tide the business over in the quiet low season. Quote
kokopelli 2 Posted February 29 Posted February 29 Visited Winner Bar last night, 28 Feb. There were 12 boys on stage and about 10 customers, some would leave and others entered, so a good night. A nice lad with blond hair and a big one sat between myself and a friend and kept us entertained. vinapu and eurasian 2 Quote
t0oL1 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Hell I was there late that night. Boy had birthday. I told him “birthday tomorrow- you are 5 years old”. I was kidding but correct. Tipped 5 year old twice Quote

12is12 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 How much does one tip for such entertainment nowadays? Was it big in a Thaish way or latinamerican? floridarob 1 Quote
kokopelli 2 Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Tips vary from 100 to 300 depending upon circumstances. Not personally familiar with Latinos so would say Thaish way. floridarob 1 Quote

t0oL1 Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Well I've never noticed an owner there but it seems he's providing a valuable service. A place for some gays to work (and sleep?) also. Or maybe some are renting a room somewhere. Or both. The cocktails are a plus also. Vessey, reader and Olddaddy 3 Quote

Londoner Posted April 8 Posted April 8 "Happy Place." Pattayaland Soi 2. It had many good features- clean toilets for one. It was a personal request from Neil to P and me to visit and so we couldn't turn him down although being "past" bars by that time. It must have been the last time the two of us were in a go go bar together! Neil was in poor health and wanted to semi-retire. He left the bar in the hands of an old friend, one of the dancers from Throb. Apparently, this guy rented the premises to associates for out- of- hours parties. Neil was told and, in in the small hours, went there and sacked the mamasan on the spot. He was replaced by yet another friend who had previously been dismissed from Neil's entourage after some unacceptable behaviour ( don't ask) in one of Bangkok's swankiest hotels. Very cute , as I recall. As for the bar, the music was too loud for sensitive souls like me and nor were the guys to to my taste....too macho. Neil put a lot of money into the project. vinapu 1 Quote
Olddaddy Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I loved Neal , Roseanne 's husband as he liked to be known. No one actually knew where he is interned Quote

When many years ago one of Boyztown bars "Happy something" closed there were comments that Neil the owner was too often absent and boys ruined the place by themselves I remember reading a book about Sunee Plaze written by Micheal (forget his surname) who was the owner of Top Man Bar at the entrance to the Plaza. It was directly opposite Forest House. In it he describes how he went away for a week or two and left his bar in the hands of some of the staff. When he returned he found similar things had happened and had to get rid of the stuff too. Sorry cannot remember the title or the Authors surname vinapu 1 Quote
forrestreid Posted April 8 Posted April 8 The author was Michael J Burchall, and the Book was: "Boystown, 1982-2008, My Life and the History of Cockpit Bar, Le Bistro Restaurant, and the Story of Boystown Pattaya". It was more about Boystown than Sunee Plaza - he had the Cockpit Bar in Boystown for many years, and then later Topman in Sunee Plaza, for a much shorter period.

Popular Post Londoner Posted April 9 Popular Post Posted April 9 Yes he did. He was returning to the US for treatment to his kidneys. Some posters on another forum loathed him, even gloating at his demise. Not that board's finest hour, in my view. He had made enemies when he owned it. We'd often breakfast together at Ambiance. He was good company. He had two rooms there on a long-term rental. Penthouse suites, one for him, the other for whoever his plats de jour were. Note the plural. I knew one of his entourage well, indeed, had been offing him for some years. Whatever other posters said, he was liked by his guys (a big thing for me, much more important than being liked by falang visitors and expats) and this was confirmed by P who knew him by repute and whose judgement I respect. vinapu, Ruthrieston, Aux1010 and 3 others 5 1 Quote

Yes lovely man I recall he went back to the UK eventually. Of course he had passed now , but ran a fantastic go go bar . Quote
