Olddaddy Posted Thursday at 10:24 PM Posted Thursday at 10:24 PM Well I must say first day arriving Pattaya seems very busy 👥👥 The Zing Resort 🏨at the Jomtien complex is booked out all weekend no idea why 😮busy busy busy Usually when I come in June July no one around,this time I have to walk on the road as the footpaths are crowded even in Jomtien My first night arriving early hours I fell asleep in the room ,not like me ,but the soft bed was amazing and I thought just a one hour nap and then 6 hours later I wake up 🤣feel much better though Well one would think being my first night I would head out to the bars immediately and that was my intention,I walked past the M Bar ,mmmmmm amazing boys 😘😍(this bar is next door to Zing hotel) I thought I will just go to get a light snack and come back But my big greedy belly🫃spoke and was so hungry and I headed to Tinnies the Aussie 🇦🇺🦘pie 🥧 shop ,where there I ate 3 pies 🥧🥧🥧and 2 beers 🍻 🍻 and 2 🧀 cheese cakes 🍰🍰 By the time I was finished I was so full all I wanted to do was go back to the room and sleep ,I could hardly walk 🚶♂️ Serves me right for being a Glutton 🐷🐷🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐷🐷 , I'm getting old now after a 16 hour business class ✈️ ✈️ ✈️ hate to see what I would of been like if it was economy flight ,might have had to get a stretcher to take me off😂 But yes not sure why it's so busy ,but I'm happy 😊 🎵🎵Happy little Vegemite as happy as can be 🎶🎶 vinapu and splinter1949 2 Quote

vaughn Posted Friday at 12:18 AM Posted Friday at 12:18 AM The busier than usual hotels might have something to do with Pattaya Music Festival, I think it starts this weekend and runs for 3 weekends. Olddaddy 1 Quote
Travellerdave Posted Friday at 03:36 AM Posted Friday at 03:36 AM Your description of busy Pattaya and Jomtien was what I found during my 3 weeks the end of January / early February. Then the explanation was the Chinese New Year with hotels full of families celebrating their principle festival. I had assumed that I could find a room in either of the two most popular Complex gay orientated hotels Zing or Agate . That assumption proved wrong and I had to take one or the 500 rooms for a week in the huge Jomtien Resort, which despite whilst being excellent with impressive facilities is not the sort of lodging I gravitate to, before I was able to move to the Agate. It would seem that in high season there is always some sort of festival in progress crowding out us gay visitors from our 9 months a year favourite Oasis’. I suppose the obvious answer is to book well ahead . bkkmfj2648 1 Quote
