There is a lot of speculation as to when this will be. My initial thoughts were that after President Xi secured his third term as leader of the ruling communist party that they would open up the flood gates. But unfortunately, the Covid lockdowns in dozens of Chinese cities continue as part of their zero-Covid policy. This recent Bloomberg article suggests that the flood gates won't open until sometime into 2023. Bloomberg article - when will China reopen

Well there are many of them here in Jomtien and I see no "for pay" activity originating from them here.

It was after Bangkok Pat posted that video on Patpong that I asked him to do another video on the evolution of gay nightlife in Bangkok and Soi Twilight. But crickets - no response.

Honestly, I do not know. From how they act at the Dongtan gay beach and in the Jomtien Supertown Complex - I would argue that they are competition.

I wish Bangkok Pat would do a report on our former Soi Twilight and related history. I have written to him to ask him to do it but there was no reply from him - so perhaps that is not his cup of tea..... But I believe many of us follow him and watch his excellent reports.

Last night in the Jomtien Supertown Complex - I encountered many Russian guys. What is notable is that they are much younger than us retirees :>))

I just moved to Jomtien from Europe as a new retiree. BOLT is an easy to use transportation app. It amalgamates various transportation options and displays them to you. You open it up and it displays where you currently are and then you just type in where you want to go and then it displays the prices for the various types of available transportation methodologies and their related price. In the below example I was shown 3 options: Economy - usually relates to a private person's personal car, Taxi - is a bonafide Taxi - I choose this option when I am returning from a shopping trip - like to Tukcom, Big C, HomePro, etc. and I need space to carry all of the goods that I just bought for my new flat. The genuine taxis, especially the yellow/blue ones tend to be very large with lots of storage space. Motor - a motorbike taxi. This option tends to be the cheapest and most adventurous. BOLT is very popular in Budapest - where I moved from - but in Hungary - there are many payment options - such as from your personal bank account, credit/debit card, or cash. Unfortunately, the BOLT that exists here in Pattaya/Jomtien only has the CASH option for payment - so keep some100 note bills around for payment. The below image is from my BOLT app on my mobile phone. I hope that this helps. Cheers, M.

Thanks for the night out again, Emiel. At our pre warmup dinner at Natans in Jomtien, our time together went too fast. We had SO much gossip to catch up on. Note to the other readers - it is really cool to meet up with members because you can get ALL of the juicy details and if the person with whom you are meeting with is willing - you can see the HOT HOT HOT photos of the guys that were encountered. I can ascertain that ALL of Emiel's conquests were definitely hotties, especially those 6 pack abs guys. The waitress at Natans was trying to be very descrete when I was observing the Phuket African HOT naked photo that I almost dropped Emiel's phone when I realized that her neck was stretched as far as possible to see that lovely cock that I was observing. As Emiel mentioned in his report, he saved me from over accomodating the papasan and mamasan requests to celebrate in drinks Emiel's success in offing the cute Boyz Town waiter. Truly, everyone was happy.

Hello, Yesterday, I attended my first exPat club meeting at the PCEC meeting place, which is held at the Holiday Inn Pattaya's Bay Tower - 4th floor conference rooms. I liked what I saw and decided to become a member. They even bought my breakfast because I was a newbie. My question to all of you is that some of the PCEC members mentioned to me that there are more than one ex-Pat group in Pattaya. Using the Google search function - I only see 3, as follows: PCEC - Pattaya City Expats Club - Pattaya City Expats Club (PCEC) web page --> seems to have an American USA focus PEC - Pattaya Expats Club - Pattaya Expats Club (PEC) web page --> seems to have a British focus ATEC - Association of Thailand Expats Clubs - I could not find any related web page or facebook group --> seems to be an association where all of the various exPat groups throughout Thailand network So, my questions to all of you are: 1.) Which exPat group here in Pattaya would you recommend - and why? 2.) Are they worthwhile for networking and knowledge sharing ? even for us gays ? Thanks, M.

Kind of related to this topic - I was recently apartment/condo hunting with some real estate agents. It was difficult to find a decent apartment in front of Dongtan beach. I asked the agent why - when at night time perhaps only 20% of the condos are illuminated at night. I said, where are the other 80% of the condo owners? She replied, well have you heard of the PFC (Pattaya Flying Club) ? I said yes. She said that some of those dark condos that you see at night cannot be rented or sold because of Thai superstition of ghosts. I said, if we find one, can you help me get a monk to ask the ghosts to leave before moving in ?

I don't think so. But I am not sure. Some were very friendly and some were reserved.

You enter at the cash desk and pay the entrance fee. Then you enter a very large locker room - the cute attendent will issue you a lock, key, and wrist band with your "lucky number" - which is used in the restaurant, pool side service, and with the 2 masseurs who are upstairs. The restaurant has a decent menu of both Western and Thai food. There are many types of smoothies available as well as beer and hard alcohol. There are 2 pools - one for swimming and bathing and the other is lije a giant circular jacuzzi. All alongside the 2 pools are chairs and lounge chairs to relax and watch the sexy guys. Alongside the pool area, slightly elevated is the gym enclosed in a large glass room where you can watch your favorite cutie workout. There was a steam room, sauna, bathrooms, and showers on the opposite side from the gym. Upstairs are the 2 masseurs - and yes extras are available for a fee. This fee needs to be paid directly to the masseur in cash. The standard massage fee is charged to your "lucky number" that was given to you when you entered. Above the massage floor are some cabin rooms for privacy, a dark room, bathrooms, and I saw more stairs that went up to an attic area - I did not venture up there. Then there is the Hotel section of this complex, which was closed off as it will open next month in October. So, action can be had by talking to the guys by the pool or in the gym. Or upstairs in the cabins or dark maze area. Also, you can arrange something with the masseurs - but for payment.

Good questions GB. Since I was still at Sansuk Sauna when I read your reply, I was able to chase down Pun in real time to get the answers. Here they are: For this Grand Reopening period (September) the entry fees are as follows: Thais pay 150 baht to enter Non-Thais pay 200 baht to enter During October the prices will change as the Grand Reopening will be over. The proposes entry fees will be: Thais will continue to pay 150 baht. Non-Thais will pay 220 baht to enter. Pun wanted to increase the Thai price to 170 but I implored him to NOT increase the Thai price. We then had a LONG conversation about Pun's worry that the non-Thais who live here in Jomtien/Pattaya will complain about having to pay more when they live here. I told him look Pun, the falangs are complaining that the Thais don't come to the sauna. I suggested that he remind those falangs who will complain that it is intentionally priced this way so that the falangs will have an opportunity to chase, meet, and play with Thai guys thanks to this pricing scheme. When I left at 8pm it was more busy than when I entered at 5pm. The approximate ratio of Thai to non-Thai was 25% falang and 75% Thai (Asian). Lastly, I decided to walk home and it took 25 minutes to my View Talay complex that is in front of Dongtan beach. Again, let us support Pun and his wonderful team after being closed for almost 3 years due to covid restrictions. Enjoy, M. p.s. The hotel part of Sanuk is scheduled to open in October. Sorry, no price information as I forgot to ask. Since I live here now I can ask the next time that I visit.

I went to the Sansuk Sauna today in Pattaya around 5pm - I can confirm that it is open. 73 baht Bolt taxi ride from Dongtan beach. 200 baht fee to enter - includes locker, 2 towels, and condom. Bring your own sandals or flip-flops if you don't want to be barefoot. There were about 15 customers, of which 6 of us were falang and the rest were Thai. All of the Thai guys were in good shape - fit swimmer bodies. Perhaps only 2 were older Thais --> above 35 years old. The remainder were all younger. I met Pun, the long time manager (perhaps owner ?). He said after almost 3 long years of being closed he is truly happy to be open since the 15th of September. Staff wise, there are plenty, around 8 guys and some were good eye candy. A couple of sexy Thais were working out in the gym. I ate in the bar/restaurant. There is a good menu with Thai and Western food. There is also a wide selection of alcoholic beverages. One masseur was on duty during my visit. Let us support Sansuk and Pun. Enjoy, M.

Emiel, I knew from the first moment that I met you that you were an honorable man who would step up to do the necessary duty for his fellow forum members to take on this HOT speciman of a man for all of us. BRAVO!!! Your pictures and story made me so horny for a new try of African meat. Yummy. Regarding Number 19, I have not yet ventured back over to Pattaya. However, I did try to find him in Grindr and Hornet - but with no luck.

I just started my freshly new retirement life 1.5 weeks ago here in Jomtien and I am loving it. My retirement dream was to retire with a view onto the sea and to be near a vibrant gay life and beach. Jomtien offers all that and more.

But then you would of not have had the HOT time with Number 20 from Dream Boys. Or do you think that the BoyzBoyzBoyz waiter would have been more hot than Number 20?

Time and laziness since I am now physically based in Jomtien. There are now so many bars and things to do in the Jomtien Complex (Supertown) that I always forget about Sunee Plaza. Going over to Boyz Town in Pattaya is already a big event.

I can confirm that Emiel's Number 19 was a hotty. I had my eyes on Number 20, but after we returned to Dream Boy's from BoyzBoyzBoyz, I was already beyond my peak. Now that I live here, I will make another trip to Dream Boys to off Number 20. Also, I will keep my eyes open for possible future interactions with that SUPER HOT B Boy dancer with the perfect body. You never know, if I keep asking him for an off, maybe one day he might say yes :>))

Hello Emiel. Thanks for the great company and fun these last 2 days. Let us not forget about my obsession with trying to find the hot ripped abs Burmese car wash guy mentioned in GayinPattaya's post. With our vantage point from @home bar, we were hopeful to spot him - but I do not believe that we did. Anyway, we had many a good laugh. Enjoy Phuket and I cannot wait to read your next segment.

Hello Emiel1981. I am truly happy that you had a great time with Woody and his partner. They are a wonderful team and a true pleasure to be with. DM me if you want to meet up in Pattaya. I finally made the move for retirement from Europe to Thailand - however, I am in Jomtien. It is not yet a week that I am here - and my life is upside down with all the things that need to be done to settle into my new Thailand retiree life.

Jomtien Complex map Perhaps seeing a map of the over 30 gay places to visit in the Jomtien Complex would help to answer your question 1) above. I do note that there are no GoGo bars (at the moment) - but there are many host bars, restaurants, entertainment venues, hotels, and massage places.

from the 7th of September, I will be in Jomtien (Pattaya)
