This morning Wed looks to be a beautiful day. The sun is shinin', the birds is tweetin' and alls right witht the world.

Dongtan Beach Mon. - At one point I was the only one left (about 2pm) as the strom approached across the bay. The concession workers clearing and collapsing umbrellas

Yesterday Tues Dongtan was back to normal after the rain out. Masseurs out in reasonable force. Still large number of DVD sellers...

Sansuk Sauna busier than expected in the afternoon and early evening. Some nice bits of beef for the stick...

most bird songs I have heard are longer than 140 characters and are thus untweetable - or am I just too much of a nerd?

but it was a beautiful day in Bangkok and perhaps a beautiful night beckons, either at DJ or ScrewBoys - my wallet is versatile even if I'm not!

Not only are you a nerd but I fear your condition is untweetable...

Same owner as Happy Bar - guys slightly older - have a screened off "fun zone" at the rear left of the bar. Large bar lacking the atmosphere of Happy. Boys parade on large central stage with seating on all 4 sides. They generally wait to be invited to sit - one or 2 cuties - beer only 100 bt. worth a visit.

General comment - bars in both Sunnee and Boystown closing at an alarming rate. If in Pattaya please do support them, or within a year or 2 they will all be just a fond memory !!

looking at the pics on the web site I find nothing that intices me to visit the bar - because of the boys shown or because of the bar images shown or because of the atmosphere implied, so why should I care if it closes? there are many other bars I would prefer to visit in Jomtien or Boyztown or even Sunee Plaza!

I don't really understand this concept that we all need to be supporting all "gay" venues regardless of what they offfer!

My partner and I have a totally open relationship.

I've been to Pattaya once, 5 years ago, in November, 2007... but I went without him... ( with his 'blessing' )

I've always wanted to go back, and take him with me.

Back in 2007, I had 10 days. I spent 6 in Pattaya, then 4 in Bangkok. Although I had fun in Bangkok too, I really had lots more fun in Pattaya.

The web sites for the clubs never tell much, so I'm replying on you guys to tell me the 'straight scoop'... Is Pattaya as much fun as it was in 2007...?

I also wonder, how bad is it to go during the low season? Is it going to be like a ghost town? Will we go to go go clubs and there won't be any boys?

Also, he wants to be very pampered... So we're thinking of booking the best room at a 5-star hotel... the Hilton Pattaya. Any thoughts on that?

Last time I stayed at Le Cafe Royale.... which very very convenient to the boys. Should we get a room there also.... just for fun and convenience....? Then, just bring back the hottest guys to the Hilton...? Or what if we just had a car or limo standing by... to take us all back to the Hilton...? Which makes more sense logistically?

Has Pattaya declined since 2007...?

How many fewer boys are there in August compared to November...?

May is traditionally the quietest month in Pattaya, and there were still more than enough guys to go around. Its really a year round resort so I'd just plan to visit when it suits you.

Hilton is pretty hip at the moment and nice rooftop pool etc - never stayed there but would have great views and right on top of new Central Festival shopping mall.I wouldnt double book at Cafe Royal - they or Ambience should always have rooms if you feel the need, but Hilton worldwide is very gay friendly.

I think Pattaya still better than BKK and as well as the host bars there's thai style discos (like The Dave Man club) that go until the early hours and have great coyote dancers.

Have fun!!

I have just spent 9 days in Pattaya and have been to all the bars in Boystown – it takes about 9 days to do all the bars....

I found the quality of the go-go boys varied a lot with Copa and X-boys having the best and Boys, Boys, Boys and A-bomb the worst. At least the go-go bar prices at an average of 180 baht are not as steep as in Bangkok, and the cabaret shows are a lot better, especially Copa and Boys, Boys, Boys. There is a good sex show at X-boys.

Despite it being the low season, there was moderate attendance at the bars, but thankfully Pattaya on the whole was less crowded. Offed a few boys with a 50:50 success rate, and a tip of 1500 baht for a good time and 500 baht for a flop seemed appreciated – again a lot less than what is expected in Bangkok.

I also had a couple of very satisfactory massages at Boys, Boys, Boys Massage. No minimum tips expected here.

However, forget the bars and the whole scene at Sunee which has become really rundown with few patrons. Crazy Dragon was empty, no wonder with a ‘for sale’ sign on the door. A couple of other bars seemed permanently shut. The only thriving bars are the ones with the boys of borderline age being slobbered over by drooling, overweight and ugly farangs.

Dongtan beach in Jomtien was not crowded with visitors and was therefore a better experience than usual – and also plenty of local eye candy vying for attention. Every day was sunny and warm, with brief tropical downpours confined to the evenings.

I always stay at Dusit D2 which is moderately priced, has excellent food, is very gay friendly (no fee for taking 'guests' to your room) and close to Boystown. Check Tripadvisor where Dusit D2 ranks 4th.
