Well I ended up staying at Dusit D2 Baraquda and I was not disappointed. Great 5 star hotel at special 3200 baht per night deal, and very gay friendly. Located diagonally across from Marriott and therefore only 3 short blocks to Boyztown. Also checked out Rabbit at Dongtan beach and while resort looks nice (and quiet) the beach was completely covered by umbrellas over deckchairs for hire. Not an inch of spare sand. Ugh - how ugly. I think Pattaya is a better location. The beaches in both locations are not inviting, so don't go there for a beach holiday! Also enjoyed the bars, especially Funny Boys where I offed a fabulous model (#3?) who has a tatoo of a bird on his right shoulder. But, despite the mamasan's assurance, the guy was not a willing bottom. Anyway, he spent the night with me and my boyfriend and we had a great time. I have fond memories of a sandwich configuration....
I think the bar with the best show is Copa's with an underwater show (similar to Classic Boys in BKK), lots of singing and good dancers, very funny ladyboys, etc. Only 10 models though which must be the least of any Pattaya bar. Did not see any sex shows at any of the bars and the models tend to stay frozen on stage far too long. They need to rotate or do something. However, I must say that all the bars are run better than those in Bangkok. The Pattaya bars are cleaner, have comfortable seating (often sofas), the sound is not ear splitting, the service is more professional, the drinks cheaper (average 150 baht versus 250 baht), and the touts not as aggressive.
An interesting bar, not in Boyztown, is Carters (or Cartiers?). Very macho, but quite deserted probably because of its location. Offed a well endowed guy there (the one that does the shower show) - he said he was not gay and then proceeded to engage like a trouper. I think he misunderstood, equating "gay" with effeminate which clearly he was not.
Also tried a massage at the Ambience hotel (actually, the "shop" was next to the hotel which they use for delivering the services. Nice little hotel I think. Very clean and newish looking inside. Massage was 7/10 and afters completely tame and expensive (1300 baht tip quoted for what turned out to be poorly administered oral).
