My somewhat facetious reply was in response to RubyHanoi's ridiculous implication that everyone in Pattaya had one foot in the grave and the local bar boys' behavior reflected that.

I'm not sure if waddling into a series of gogo bars and picking out one of the boys on stage fits the general definition of cruising for sex any more than going to a over-stocked fish farm and hauling in some trout from a tiny cement lined tank could be called deep-sea fishing.

If anything, this proves my somewhat facetious point in that the presence of anyone "really hot & young" was a notable exception from the usual run of aged or appearance-challenged denizens of the bars and, contrary to your comment above, these young, sexy visitors didn't intend to pay for sex.

Chowp means "like." Want would be "tongarn."

I don't visit the bars daily for new "conquests" as it seems some of the more prolific (and unhappy) posters here do, simply because I tend to stick with the same guys, but whenever I have been in them the customers look like people whose only hope of "getting any" is if it's confined to a cement lined tank in a fish farm, metaphorically speaking. I'm fairly certain that the majority of bar customers are tourists. Most Thailand residents, even the old decrepit ones would quickly tire of the bar scene unless they were truly desperate or the proverbial "sticky shits," or kii-dtuut or Kii-niow.

And before anyone throws a hissy fit, I assure you that I fit in quite nicely with that stereotype. I am a resident of Thailand, I'm over 60 and I readily admit the only way I'm going to have the sort of liason I hunger for is if the other party works in a bar.

If you spot any hot young things in the audience, rest asured they don't expect to pay for it and/or this is their first time in the Land of Smiles after they were booted out of the monastery.
