I'm very carefull taking photos of boys and indeed myself. Last night I slept with a boy I contacted on GR who told me he worked at a hospital, I don't know in what capacity but he seemed educated. There is no way I would take him and publish photos. Also I would like my friends at home seeing me cavorting in Pattaya - well known as the world capital of sleaze. I have however library of pictures I have taken over the years of boys who were OK with it after me asking permission. I have a remote selfie device which enables me to get in the picture with my boyfriends.

I arrived in Pattaya on Thursday evening which I think was the end of the month's mourning. I'm staying in Boystown where things are normal I.e. Bars and gogo's open with loud music and flashing lights. Walking about town during the day I do notice a small proportion of Thais wearing black and many business have tributes to his majesty. In the Royal Garden shopping centre there is an exhibition showing various episodes during his life which is open for a few weeks which I intend to visit. last night I offed a boy from Cupidol and took him for a walk down Walking Street. At 2 am it was packed with visitors and it looked like the gogo's were doing a roaring trade, although I had no interest in going in. The noise in BT ceased about 3 am. So in summary - as far as entertainment is concerned it's COMPLETELY BACK TO NORMAL.

I went into Cupidol last night . I don't know about lots of Cambodian boys but the one I offed was. It was fairly busy at 10 pm with maybe 15 customers some cuddling boys. It's probably the best gogo in BT for twinks. The mamasan likes to chat to customers and told me she works manicure on Dongtan beach in the afternoons.

I've just come to Pats via Belltravel from Swampy. Cheap and efficient service. However you now have to book onLine. I feel safer on the big bus and now they insist you use the safety belt. If anyone wants to meet up for a chat email me - I'm staying at the Ambiance.

I went into A-bomb once during my July/August trip and found it to be a twink desert. But like Vinapu says BT has something for every gay visitor and my requirements for smooth cuties were closely met when I visited Cupidol a number of times and also Vassa, but I didn't have the pleasure of Biguyby's boy, but maybe he will be there next week when I'm in Pats again.

Older Western women visit Gambia in Africa and also Jamaica with a view to having sex with black guys. The former has a well developed infrastructure of hotels, bars etc and and flight time is only 5 or 6 hours from Europe. Inexpensive package trips are available with warm sunny weather in the Northern winter. I did a little research thinking about going there myself but there were reports of hostility towards gays. One report mentioned 50+ blonde Swedish women with Boys on the beaches and in bars, to whom they give gifts of money, clothes and iPhones. Sounds a bit familiar ?

What about the boys ?. Some twinks ?.

Yes what a difference the case of a letter makes. I don't think Oscars has a selection of Scotsman upstairs - not usually anyway !.

I stayed there a couple of times several years ago. No problems but due to the decline of Sunee I have not thought about returning. I remember the rooms were accessed by a flight of narrow steep stairs. My last stay in Sunee was at the Colonial Bar. Any reports on either of these accommodations ?.

I like Oscars in the early evening viewing BT getting ready for the nights activities with boys arriving for work. They have a selection of items upstairs Jocks etc if you into that sort of thing.

Yes variables - although I usually favour long term. If it's a first time the boy leaves on his own. I like to tidy the room. Wrap any used condoms in tissue and place in the bin. Put towels neatly in the bathroom on the rails. If I've worn my jocks put away. Rinse my mouth with listerine. Have a thorough shower. Then relax for a while in contemplation and deciding my next move. If I have enjoyed the boy, store his phone number with a note of his name and brief description.

Yes the prices quoted by z909 are a good indication. I too prefer twinks. I was in Pattaya about two months ago and mostly had boys long time I.e. Overnight. If they asked in the gogo how much I would pay LT I would reply "1500 but more if I like you". I went to 2000 for a particularly attractive boy who was good in bed. Of course you have to budget for the off fee and you will have drinks to buy. If it's early maybe you will take him somewhere else before going to your room. It all adds up !.

I have been visiting Thailand now for some 15 years and have very much enjoyed about 30 visits mainly to Pattaya. Before I spent my holidays in Playa des Ingles on Gran Canaria, Spain. There are few rent boys there but I had plenty of sex especially from encounters on the gay section of the huge beach. The weather is great there throughout the year, it's not expensive and is only 4 hours by air from my home. Why do I go to Pattaya then ?. In two words - Thai Boys. If they were not available and inexpensive I would cease my visits. In my opinion Pats has detiorated in the 15 years as regards gay sex tourists like me, and it's much more expensive for Brits in particular ( Now 43 baht = 1 pound Ugh !).

There are a few both gay and hetro who enjoy mild exhibitionism and maybe I am one, but kissing or fondling my boyfriend in a public space like a hotel dining room is something I would not do. However it would be OK for example on the Dongtan gay beach or maybe in a bar in BT Pattaya. It's easy to loose self control whilst on holiday and under the influence of drink. Yes it would be a Beamon leap to extend a public kiss to fucking.

Abang - you would wear these at the Dongtan Beach ?. I would be too shy but ok at the Samsuck.

I go along with Worldatlarge - the Banyan Tree is superb by far the best experience I have had with Thai hotels. Fantastic panorama from the upper floor Windows and from the swimming pool.

Following on from my earlier post about me alternating between being alternatively penny wise and pound foolish I am certainly the latter whilst in Pattaya gogo's. Like Vessey for me it's a 100 baht tip for sitting with me but 200 or more if I get the boys cock in my hand and/or my tongue in his mouth. There's been tip inflation over the years. I remember in Krazy Dragon 20 baht was the standard a good few years ago. You can certainly burn through a lot of baht touring the gogo's dispensing tips and buying boy drinks. Including a boy in my bed overnight a spend of 5000 to 6000 between 9pm to 10am is a realistic.

British members of this forum will know the saying "Penny Wise but Pound Foolish" which sums me up when I am in Pattaya. On arrival at the airport I take the public bus at a penny wise price of 120 baht followed by the same for a motor bike to BT at 100. I also try a bit of haggling to make a small saving on accomadation. However later in the evening Pound Foolish takes over in the gogo's when I spray boy drinks and tips around, very quickly cancelling the saving made earlier. During my stay both expenditure modes vie for superiority but there is no doubt which one always wins.

Of course you would be fine wearing thongs etc at the Samsuck. Like you I have enjoyed wearing mine there both during the day, when I have stayed there, and also when it was open to the public in the afternoon and evening. However I have never plucked up courage on the Dongtan Gay Beach, where brief speedos are as far as I have gone. Male Dress in the public areas of Pattaya is relatively modest compared with in gay oriented resorts in Europe and a good proportion of farangs are very scruffily dressed. I would advise caution so as not to be held up to ridicule - but there again it's your holiday and your choice.

Higher grade hotels in Pattaya usually have large beds which can accomadate more than two. There is plenty of space for the guest and his boy to have their own space. On the few occasions when I have two boys I have slept in the middle, although I don't find these encounters offer good value for money.

I mostly stay at the Ambiance these days and on balance I like the place, but I concur with the other posts regarding it's confusing layout. Years ago when Pattaya was just developing there must have been three shop houses, which have been joined by knocking openings to form, not very successfully, one unit. Now after checking in I fix the position of my room in relation to objects like a large vase, elevator or stairs. I want to avoid the embarrassment of a few years ago when returning with my boyfriend du jour it took me about five minutes of wandering about to locate it. On another occasion I contacted a boy on GR and got a call from reception to say he had arrived. I told them to send him up, but after several minutes he hadn't arrived so I had to go in search of him. He had been wandering about the same as I did. In July I think they had improved the signage as no doubt other guests had had the same experience. But in conclusion I would recommend the Ambiance as an ideal place to stay for the gay sex tourist, particularly newbies to Pattaya.

Biguyby It's good to here of a new gogo opening - shows that the gay scene in Pats is still attracting investment. Hopefully when I arrive in October there will be a good selection of twinks in 360 deg. Mind you I found Cupidol a happy hunting ground in July. Perhaps someone will post a report. Drooling over white undies ?. Looks like you favour the boys in black !.

Vinapu - it was a couple of years ago. I had arrived back from Vietnam that evening and had partially unpacked but then rushed out to catch the show at Bbb without locking the safe. Easily done !.

Regarding honesty I have never really had a problem with hotel thefts despite maybe 30+ visits to LOS in the last 15 years. Mind you the only things I have with me of significant value are my iPad, iPhone, passport money and various cards and those go in the room safe when I've got company. Once I thought I had been robbed by a boy I had offed. I showered first and he joined me in bed after showering. During the night i got up for a piss and noticed that the safe door was open. At the Ambience the safe is near the bathroom door not on view from the bed. I glanced in and thought that there was some US dollars missing (I had been to Vietnam), and I assumed he took the opportunity to help himself. I got back into bed but did not wake him but I couldn't sleep thinking how I would confront him in the morning. In the morning I took all the cash (dollars, baht and pounds) into the bathroom and saw that the missing dollars were sandwiched between pounds. You have to be very carefull before accusing anyone of theft.

Vinapu - we all know the difficulty of establishing the age or honesty of Thai boys especially if one has had a few drinks. Years ago I used to stay at the Don Plaza in Sunee which supposedly had a 24 hour reception but frequently he was either not there or asleep.
