Just back from a 3 week trip to pattaya and thought I'd share some updates with you. Probably the worst low season i have ever seen there. The bars are slow with few farang and very few off's. The quality of the boys is way down while the number of boys in the bar seems fair. Had some ownership shifts while I was there with Kaos being bought by the owners of Euroboys and the owner of Kaos taking over the Sundance bar. Both bars retained the old names (The ole Euroboys is still open under the same ownership). Found Euroboys mainly to be ladyboy oriented and also found K-Boys to have a high number of ladyboys. Jim Jimmy James still has a good variety of boys but also found this bar to have few customers and few offs. Club gogo is nicely decorated but only had 5 dancers. Top Man also under new ownership had only 6 dancers the night we stepped in. Ozone is mostly a lady boy bar . Butts bar still the same sleazy smelly place it has always been. It was probably the only bar open during the Budda holiday. Dragon bar fun but has raised the off fee to 300 and also cut the boys salaries. Which made for some unhappy boys. Freelancers are still around but not in the numbers they once were. Police doing late night checks of street boys and those without Id's are picked up and sent to Rayong. Boystown bars seem to be doing better business than Sunee but also noticed the number of farang there was down. A-Bomb had about 30 boys dancing and had a nice mix of guys. Star bOys still open with about 12 boys and half of those ladyboys. Handy good some nights and bad others.. I confess I did not off this trip and stayed mainly with one boys thru this trip (a first for me). There just wasn't anything in the bars that interested me enough to off anyone.
