What wet season? The weather is absolutely perfect here. Not a drop of rain all week and unusually low humidity. No need for aircon during the day as a balmy breeze sweeps in from Jomtien Bay.

The beach and bars are quiet, but most of my regular boys are still here and there's always new fresh talent to discover. The old Crystal bar is about to re-open as "Happy Place", Vasa has changed hands and the boys are a bit older (20's rather than teens) and in Jomtien "The Venue" continues with its high standard of cabaret , with the dreadful spot opposite (Monty's) finally throwing in the towel.

If the heat of BKK is getting u down, the new freeway extension whisks you direct to Pattaya's Sukumvit road in under 90 mins from Bkk's of the same name. From Suvarnabuhmi to Jomtien beach now only 128 kms which is a comfortable one hour drive by freeway (tolls 60bt from airport or 130 from downtown BKK). Bar drinks range from 110 bt to 150 max, off fees usually 300 and 1,000 tip for overnight accepted with a big smile. "The Dave" disco in N Pattaya has great coyote dancers and open until 4 or 5 am for the late birds. Packed with bar boys from 1 am who are always on the lookout for farangs. Enjoy !
