Curiouser,
Good input to this thread. I've only been there once, and the privacy isn't much better than it (sounds like) it was before. But the individual showers do have doors and you can pull them in a 'lock' them against the door jam.
I don't speak any V. yet, which is kind of frustrating. In reading your post, it sounds like everyone else at the pool probably had an idea what I was there for! haha. Maybe when I learn some V I'll do better picking up more action there. Though, I didn't do too bad the first time!

Looks like we have a new moderator, or perhaps an ownership takeover.

I found the pool very easily - huge complex of tennis, football, basket ball and boule areas surrounding a 1950's style open air pool complex that would have been state of the art in its time. Unfortunately I couldnt get there til after 2 pm on Sat - and everything was packed. First problem was all the keyed lockers were full, so I had put my clothes in a plastic bag and hand to attendants in a caged off area in return for a wrist number. Notice warned not to deposit valuables so I was stuck with my wallet and mobile, restricting spontaneous wet area activity. The place was packed - 100% Viets and 90% school age kids. There was absolulely no sign of sexual activity of any kind, and there was a constant stream of kids in and out of the showers. So I guess mid week is the time to cruise there - def not Sat afternoon.

I walked to the pool complex - very pleasant through parks. Took m/cyle taxi back - interesting ride!!

I'm back in Jomtien today, but found fertile ground in HCM on gay romeo - horny sexy boys - early 20's and no charge !

HCM is a thriving busling city - lots of new bars, restaurants and a real wine culture (old French influence). Worth a 2nd visit (which for me will be late March.)

I bought some interesting art for my condo here. Lots of small shops near centre of town to browse. Recommended for a visit - food, culture and not forgetting, s e x
