I inquired at Winner Bar regarding Win and was told he is at home and is recovering.

Several months ago Win was very sick while on the stage and had to leave. He has not returned; there is reason for your concern.

There are many bars close to Venue with the type of boy you like. One is DoDo Bar, across from Venue, with boys actually dancing between the seated customers. A new bar, Best Bar/Boy just next to Venue plus many others. Divarium no longer serving food to my knowledge. There is a German restaurant across from Divarium, Dolce Vita, which is reasonable and popular. Plus Poseidon and Yupins. Near Soda Massage on the next soi over, there are several Farang and Thai restaurants.

A personal observation leads me to believe that, at least, 30% of the money boys are HIV+ in Pattaya.

Less than 120/80 per Harvard Health. http://content.health.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/bcaf1571-9128-4fc0-8354-52e157cb87d7.jpg

Jack passed away this past year; Ralph is still with us as is Oud.

Truth is, I did have a twin brother who did pass away. 😔

Kokopelli passed? I never knew that; sorry to read of his passing, he was like a twin brother to me.

Obviously the boy has been in a motorbike accident and his friends are helping him by pushing him around in a cart until he recovers.

A friend did tell me there is a place with the name "24 Hour" ?? on Jomtien Second Road not far from the Complex, with very nice rooms at an inexpensive price.

Yes, rooms are available in the Complex. Just have to ask at the bar.

More bullshit! Do you believe everything you read, especially from an unreliable source?

i can't say that I received any undue respect or admiration, because of my age, from anyone in particular in Thailand. Although the Chinese, Russians and Indians are, in general, rude.

100 Baht/day = 3000 Baht/month; $100/month = 3500 Baht. Not a big difference and there accommodations available in that range, although limited.

Menaughty, I hope you are feeling improved and on the way to recovery.

Simply fact is there are no aliens, from another world, visiting earth.

In Pattaya I don't recall if any massage shops list a minimum tip. However you can assume a minimum tip equal to what the massage house fee is. Others may say much lower! For a happy ending massage a tip to the masseur of 1000 is considered quite acceptable. Of course it could be higher or lower depending on your activities and how pleased you were.

Guess I am guilty of giving tips to dancing boys just because I like them! The boys are on stage for hours at a time and may not get an "off" so what is the problem in giving them a tip? I doubt that they have a work ethic that says "no tip accepted". Although I do touch the merchandise as I slip them the tip. 😜

I don't use apps however a friend who is proficient at app cruising (Hornet, HeeSay, Grindr, etc) tells me there are a number of scams from the "boys" using these apps. One is some of the boys refused to say how much money they will accept which may mean they will show up, do the act and then demand a high fee. Another is the boys will not give their ID/Age if asked and will simply shut down the discussion. Friend believes this is some sort of scam to entrap the customer in some sort of undercover activity with a minor, either official or unofficial. Has anyone else noticed this or similar behavior?

Many of your questions can be answered on aseannow.com forum if you want to try it. Yes, true you don't need health insurance if you apply for a Non O visa when in Thailand. In Pattaya a reputable agent is Maneerat Visa, Pattaya 13/2, Pattaya City, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri 20150. This location is commonly referred to as Soi Post Office located near Royal Garden.

The New Year spread was excellent! I did my best to eat as much as I could however there was an overabundance of food for those present. The dancers did their best to please the customers and succeeded! 😜

Excellent information, unicorn!

I am aware that condoms are a good preventive measure and the use of doxycycline after sexual encounters is effective in reducing the chances of contracting syphilis; what other preventative measures are recommended?

I am aware of an increase of syphilis infections recently in Pattaya. Easily identified and treated. Pulse Clinic and Swing Foundation can be of great assistance.

Win was quite sick a few months ago and is no longer working at Winner to the best of my knowledge.
