williewillie Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Funny Boys a long time standard in Boyztown. Extremely comfortable seating, usually a large number of handsome boys on a central stage. Same ownership as Panarama and discount cards available. No tobacco smoking. Long time mamasan Rose has left much to the chagrin of many farangs. Quote
Guest Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 That bar used to have maybe 40 or 50 boys, of whom I could class about 10 as exceptionally cute twinks. More recently the numbers are down to single figures and the bar is probably best suited to those who want a larger and more mature figure. I think there was a change of ownership a couple of years ago. Alleged suicide of the owner, or something like that. It has gone downhill since then. What was my favourite bar is no longer worth visiting. Quote
firecat69 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 It is really recent that it has gone downhill. Once Rose left it quickly slid to hardly worth stopping in. Rose easily the best Mamasan in Pattaya and for a very extended period of time. Just shows how important management is!! Quote
vinapu Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Old hands are lamenting downhill slide but I liked what I saw in December and bar far from collapsing as far as I'm concerned, well patronized that night and nice selection of boys, only reason I did not off any was earlier arrangement with certain axe murderer from BBB to fill that night Quote
firecat69 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I know Vinapu but you just don't have 15 years of history to draw on. It is a pitiful resemblance of its former self regardless whether it had a few boys you liked. Only Boys had more boys on a nightly basis then they did and it went on for years. Quote
williewillie Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Everyone was not enamored with Rose, who could be a bitch and turn off easily. Agree he was a brilliant mamasan but also agree with vin, Funny boys still a great boy Gogo bar filled with hot Thai guys, just not a skinny twink bar. One can buy a partnership as the farang owner is ailing and is looking for a partner or full sale. The 'alleged' suicide of a former partner is a fact and was a cause of much vicious gossip on gaythailand forums. Quote
firecat69 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Well unless things have changed since December trying to say FunnyBoys is even close to its former self is ridiculous. 8-10 guys 3 different times I stuck my head during December and prime time 930 or so. Before Rose left if you got there early at 830pm he would have had at least 40 boys or more while Toy Boys was not even up and running yet. No idea what world you are in talking about a skinny twink bar. It was never that. Sure it had a good sample of twinks ( but very few skinny young twinks)and I'll admit very little ABomb type muscle but referring to it like it used to be a SunnyBoys or Dreamboys is just plain ridiculous. It was never that kind of Bar. In fact since I do like the younger look, there were very few of those in Funnyboys You could always count on Rose remembering you and finding a seat for you when crowded and then just leaving you alone unless you asked for help . That is what a good manager does. Along with a cold towel and some peanuts. Easiest the classiest place in Pattaya. llz 1 Quote
williewillie Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 A very good farang friend of mine agrees in part with firecat. He liked the way the bar and boys were before and doesn't go to Funny anymore. Firecat misinterrupted my post as I never said Funny was a skinny twink bar before, nor did I compare it to Sunny or Dream Boys. It's manly guys and lots of them, perhaps fewer than under Rose but still plenty and many are stunners. No boy bar is for everyone and every taste. I could harp on for years about when Wild West Boys was incredible and how it completely lost its way but the way things were years ago are now just fading memories. The present is still incredible and boybars like Funny Boys are still great. Most Farangs prefer Toy Boys, where the boys are thinner and more boyish, but for this poster Funny Boys is more my style. There are enough bars and boys for everyone. Quote
Guest Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Go back 3 years and Funny Boys had a reasonably diverse range of boys. There were slim twinky types, not the skinny or anorexic ones, but certainly enough to appeal to those of us who like slim twinks. They also had larger boys. They still have larger boys & the slim twinky ones have gone. That is why Vinapu likes it and I don't. 3 years ago, we both would have been happy customers. I suppose they now get by on a reduced turnover. Mamasan Rose has apparently moved to Korea, according to a Funny Boy who I have met a few times. Quote
williewillie Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 We went to Funny Boys tonight to kill some time before the 10:30 Boyzboyzboyz show. I noticed a lad wearing a jock strap on stage and looked in. The a/c is superb and there were many boys in addition to the bare cheeked lad in the jock strap. First time in a long time that Funny boys was comparable to Toy Boys, with many attractive twink types and several bigger boys. Btw, Boyzboyzboyz was sensational as usual with 90 % Chinese audience. Show was chockablock hard cocks. vinapu 1 Quote
williewillie Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 Funny Boys under new owner/ new manager. The farang owner has sold Funny Boys to the Thai manager. One farang I know was at Funny Boys last expecting a special farewell show but nothing special happened. Quote
williewillie Posted July 13, 2016 Author Posted July 13, 2016 Funny boys go go bar is once again a viable choice for gay farangs in boyztown. There were over 25 boys on my last visit a few days ago with an interesting mix of types. Few of the veteran boys were there and most were new to my eyes. vinapu and biguyby 2 Quote
firecat69 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Although we don't get along Willie is our best on the ground source in Pattaya by far and I appreciate his updates on the Bars in Pattaya. kokopelli and vinapu 2 Quote
Alexx Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Although we don't get along Willie is our best on the ground source in Pattaya by far and I appreciate his updates on the Bars in Pattaya. Let's make sure he can read your words of praise. williewillie, biguyby and vinapu 3 Quote
williewillie Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 We stopped in Toy Boys, early and the bar was quiet. The papasan told us more boys were coming and sure enough many more boys arrived by 9:30pm. The papasan told us that there were many new boys but no new farangs. He also said that Funny Boys did have 25+ boys a few days, they were slipping back to about 15 boys. He also commented that the new Cupidol was chock full of boys and asked us about boyzboyzboyz. After the boyzboyzboyz show, we passed by Toy Boys again and there were a dozen or more hot looking shirtless guys out front. Boyztown quiet tonight and few to no Chinese for a change. First time in a long time that us older farangs were in the majority at boyzboyzboyz show. biguyby and vinapu 2 Quote
neddy Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I have had a drink at Funny Boys twice within the last week. Both times, only 9 or 10 boys in the house. And very few customers. No sign of the new owner. vinapu 1 Quote
williewillie Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 Sad, but with its location, another boy bar will almost certainly open before high season. Xboys, almost alone two sois away, would be a great addition to Pattayaland soi 3 or A-Bomb Boys on Pattayaland soi 2. Inspiration comes from Cupidol Boys move to Pattayaland soi 3. Quote
firecat69 Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 No surprise. Once Rose left it began its inevitable death spiral. Easy to open a Bar but not so easy to manage one. Rose was among the best ever. Quote
Maple Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Per a reliable BoyzTown source, Funny Boys was sold to a new Thai owner in May or June. Quote
gerefan Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Yes but that didn't last . Still closed. Now. if A Bomb move across then that might be awesome!!! Theres me dreaming ! vinapu 1 Quote
witty Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 Your dream is actually quite interesting. Bring all the gogo bars to soi 3 and let the massage shops occupy soi 2. When I go to the gogo bars, I don't like overenthusiastic masseurs blocking my way and pulling me arms to get my business. Quote
williewillie Posted October 10, 2016 Author Posted October 10, 2016 Funny Boys was fully gutted and nothing left but the four walls. Reports out that a boy beer bar will open in the space. Quote
