I have suggested this idea in the past to other bar owners. We cannot have go go bars in the Complex because of the local bylaws but i see no reason why we cannot have boys danciing on a podium to attract customers. Excited by Aussie's post about the two poles erected in BN Bar, I have been sitting opposite like a dog waiting for a bone, but so far no bone. Hopefully, the boys will spring into action sooner or later, until then the poles will continue to act as ceiling supports. The Complex continues to be awash with rumours of "The Return to Sunnee Plaza" with several bar owners being name-checked as potential movers. All will become clear by the time high season returns, I am assured. The Complex itself is awash with boys, as noted by previous posters, and that's no bad thing. What is perhaps noteworthy is that the influx of boys is concentrated among the bars with young Thai owners, such as BN, 69 and Sunnee/Dodo Bars. The hobby bars owned by retirees are clearly lagging behind as they continue to try to pass off middle-aged bar staff as "boys". As a regular low season visitor, this year does not appear to be exceptionally quiet, despite some reports to the contrary, but perhaps the customers are more spread out among the many available bars. Word of the day: The standard collective nouns for a group of boys are: a blush of boys a leer of boys a passel of boys and a rascal of boys. Vessey, Mavica, Boy69 and 8 others 10 1 Quote

Shonen Posted September 19, 2023 Author Posted September 19, 2023 Any updates on the Complex now? I’ll be in Thailand in a month and will try to spread the wealth amongst other things. Hopefully no new bar closures. Quote

floridarob Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 Was just in Pattaya for the last week....pretty slow for the bars. There are guys there, not many customers. Dragon bar was practically empty every night, not sure how the pay the staff and electricity. A-Bomb was pathetic yet last October when I was there had a lot of guys. Sept is the rainy month, maybe a lot of guys go home to visit? Shonen 1 Quote

Popular Post kokopelli3 Posted September 20, 2023 Popular Post Posted September 20, 2023 Last night I was in Jomtien Complex aka Supertown and visited M Bar which had many boys but the Air Con was not operating so quite warm inside. So on to DoDo Bar which was nice and cool and had about 6 nice boys doing dancing for the customers and it was busy with customers. Drinks were about 130B Regarding Sunee Plaza, a few night ago was there, as were about 8 other customers and about 8 lads on stage. Somewhat like the good old days! Drinks at 100B. t0oL1, vinapu, moistmango and 6 others 9 Quote

It has been very warm inside the bar which has made me avoid going there. One advantage of M Bar besides the boys is the low volume level of the music compared to being blasted by noise in the main Complex Soi most nights.

Shonen Posted September 21, 2023 Author Posted September 21, 2023 I watched a utube video of the complex from about a week ago. Very quiet for sure. looked like no customers in Double Shot, with Nick, Sam and a few other workers looking bored. Not sure what time it was, might have been early, as they all had their shirts on. It’s always calmer till about ten. Then it picks up a bit. So not fair to judge without knowing the time. Anyone know the name of the fem boy who runs 69 bar? He’s skinny and colors his hair blonde. He’s Cambodian and I think his name is Sa or Ja. moistmango 1 Quote
Shonen Posted October 21, 2023 Author Posted October 21, 2023 Must be very quiet in the Complex. A guy that worked in a bar there is back working at Super A in Bangkok. He said not enough customers. Also a real hottie that worked in BN bar has moved to Boystown. He never responded to my app request until I looked at my Romeo and there he was, left a message about a month ago, now wants to hook up. Must be desperate,lol. vinapu and floridarob 2 Quote

I am sorry to see it being replicated in the JC but even more sorry for the guys who are struggling to make ends meet... What we need is some innovation, some imagination, some originality = some personalization which would attract attention. And another novel concept, how about sharing boys? You know when I go to Tukcom and one booth doesn't have what I need, they go to another booth to get it. Now some of you might like barhopping (I don't), but it is becoming prohibitively expensive to visit all 20(?) JC bars. And you still might not end up with what you want. Just saying... any bar owners out there listening? Boy69 and moistmango 2 Quote

I think if you were to look back at posts made on gaythailand over the last 15 years, you will find quite a few making the same suggestions. Allied to more originality was a continuing plea that the bars offer more fun for customers rather than the same old, same old. moistmango 1 Quote
Londoner Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 I recall Jim Lumsden at Ambiance/BBB telling me fifteen years ago that the future for gays bars was bleak. He blamed it on the arrival of dating apps. It wasn't long before he established his new hotel.. Boy69, moistmango and floridarob 3 Quote
Shonen Posted October 22, 2023 Author Posted October 22, 2023 After being one day in solim Bangkok, I woke up about midnight and strolled through the bar area. I ran into a twink called J, who previously worked in the Complex. It was his first day/ night there and I took him to my room. I was meaning to take him off from @Home bar when he worked there but never got around to it. So I was thrilled to see him, didn’t disappoint. Hes fairly sexy but couldn’t make it work there. So he’s trying it in Solim. Maybe with high season starting it will be better for him and others. The bars offer me more than the apps, in that I can spend the evening playing pool and socializing. So I’ll continue to spend money there. Here in Bangkok is another story. I don’t feel compelled to support the bars here, as everything is more expensive here. So I pick up guys walking around. It’s so easy, as they’re usually looking for business on the phones and I can see what they look like, no surprises. reader 1 Quote

I've never figured out why bars continue to blast their music, to a level which make conversation with one's friends or betrothed nearly impossible. Painful to listen to, and dangerous to one's hearing. This music is supposed to ENTICE people into their bar? I would imagine that, on balance, it does just the opposite.

Londoner Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Absolutely. That'; what happened in Boyztown. If you are chatting with a guy in the hope of an assignation, it's hard enough overcoming the language barrier without all four ears being assailed by loud music. Boy69 1 Quote
