That's why I stick with Jomtien. And Sansuk is in walking distance from there... I am not the GoGo type anyway... But I will probably have a glimpse to Sunee for nostalgic reasons because the last time I was there is 15 years ago and now it is probably devastated

Jomtien is pretty busy these days aswell. A large part of why I moved away from the beach. Having said that, Jomtien is a lot quieter than Pattaya.

A huge change since our last visit three months ago. We walked through the bar area at about 2000  (yes, I know that's early) and were amazed at the number of guys eagerly awaiting the attention of punters. And there were certainly more falang visitors than last time....the bingo bar was packed. Dick's and Sandbar, our two Jomtien favourites, have been busy since we arrived last week.

This morning we walked the beach through the gay area; many bathers and beach-lovers as well as people merely strolling, like us. In fact, I don't remember seeing this number of people there for ten years at least.

We also walked past Boyztown a couple of nights ago, again rather early, and it seemed to be almost deserted. Perhaps the crowds came later.

Last night, I went with my main squeeze to the @Home bar in the Jomtien Complex for their weekly BINGO night and we were turned away as there was no more seating available.

I have never seen it so crowded as it was last night.

I am truly happy for the bar owners - as the low season, when most of you forum members are not here, is like a ghost town, and it is truly amazing that these bars even survive.

why ? too old ?  belly issues ? It can't be that you can't dance as most boys can't either

I'm unsure as to why, but South Pattaya is traffic chaos every day at the moment. I have never seen it this bad. Even on a motorbike it's dangerous and so conjected you can't get through. I got stuck for 40 minutes the other day.

I don't see myself getting into central Pattaya or Sunee till after the high season chaos. 

classic blend of good and bad news

He is a cutey - but he is a money boy - and so I need to act accordingly to keep my heart from falling in love with him.  He is also the guy that for 4 months now has been organizing my 4 hands massages.

I will escape from Thailand (29 December) before the New Year's Eve countdown, when that awkward moment arrives on who will get the first kiss of the new year.

I already made that mistake 1 year prior with my ex - resulting in us breaking up and I will NOT go through that nightmare again.  Even though I am a pig like many forum members here - I am a romantic at heart when it comes to the "first kiss of the new year" - so, no need to risk that again.

 

Do any other forum members give any credence to this superstition?

I usually focus more on 'first paycheque of the year ".

I don't give any credence to superstitions and love when black cat crosses my way on Friday 13th and nothing happens.

What's its current name? There used to be disused sign boards inside the bar reading "N. Boys" and "Night Boys".

"Was" in the top three together with Eros and Good Boys. Now "is" the most, as  it's the only one left 😢.

It was reported on Sawatdee Forum that the new name is  "Boys nighclub"

My last day in Pattaya was spent wandering around,  enjoyed the chaotic mess of walking street.

Them back to Bangkok, its malls and Arena!

First a trip up to the top of Mahanakhon for the view!  After I finally came down I realized Aena had just opened so dropped by.  Not many guys there yet but i

Spill I picked one.  Great smile , short and he surprised me he actually knew how to give a massage!  His English was fairly good as were afters as well!

Arena brought a question as well.   Once again my room was on the top floor.   Is it bad luck or do they see a guy with mobility problems and thinK “top floor!”?   Lol
