I have been in Pattaya for the past week and unfortunately leave tomorrow. Having just been to the go-go bars in Bangkok the week before I can report that inflation has not struck at the Pattaya bars. Drinks vary between 150bht abd 180bht. Maybe a bit more for Copa. As usual the shows are better than Bangkok although as usual there is no explicit sex. The boys are a mixed bag but there were usually at least one or two of interest in each bar. Overall the lineups look new compared with my previous visit. Cupidol has the best looking boys and plenty of them. Offed several boys from the various bars over the week with mixed results but that was more than likely due to my exhaustion :-) The successful offs got a gratefully received 1500bht for their trouble.

Sunnee bars seemed just as dull as previous visit and thankfully the boys were not underage. Crazy Dragon was dreadfully dull with hardly any customers and a bunch of ugly boys who moped around on the table tops barely moving but expecting tips! My Way was very busy with a large contingent of boys. Happy Bar was empty but a few of the boys were interesting. Back at Boyztown, almost all the bars are worth a visit with Copa having the best show. Overall there were hardly any customers in the bars, probably because of the weather which although not raining much has shown little sunshine. The daily bleak news about the Thai floods probably has reduced the tourist numbers especially in Pattaya. By the way, I had a very pleasant massage with 'afters' at Boyz Gym and Sauna in Boyztown - 400bht for 1 hour plus I tipped 1000bht gratefully received. I have enjoyed Pattaya more than Bangkok on this visit.

-- My Enthusiastic & Am. Friend and I went-down to PATTAYA on 19 oct. and ret'd. to BKK. today, 22 oct..
- 19th. - Generally a few & sunny patches, cloudy to o'cast. with slight sea-breeze; dry;
20th.- O'cast.; hy. rain-storm around 17.hrs.;
21st.- As for 19th., scarcely a breath of wind on DONGTAN BEACH;
22nd.- Day began sunny bright with few clouds seen.

-- A few shops have built 3-4ft. high walls with gaps in for ent'ce./egress; quite a few shops along Beach & 2nd. rds. have stock-piled sand-bags - but the whole thing does look to be rather haphazard.

-- Chatted with a casual acquaintance from LAS VEGAS who gave us to u'stand. that on 16 oct. only six customers in the concession roughly opp. to TUI's.,(has blue & beach umbrellas with red & yellow edgings.); only a few MORE on the flg. mon. & tues.:
- In the neighboring & our concession, roughly opp. to AVALON HOTEL, and by the octagonal hawng nahm, (blue & beach umbrellas with red & white trimmings.), v. many German-speakers - the 'Herrenvolk.'; the Russians prefered to be farther along & nearer to the tall tower with its two cable-cars.

-- In SUNNEE PLAZA CORNER BAR is for sale, as are the former EUROBOYS and several others in its gen'l. area; in JOMTIEN PAPA DAVID'S REST'T.,(nr. Hanuman's statue.), is UP for sale.

-- My Enthusiastic & Am. Friend and I visited the flg. bars -
FUNNY BOYS - BoyzTown. - twice - we reckoned that #61. was the only one worth considering for 'Offing.' followed by poss. #16.; quite a few other customers;
FUNNY PLACE - once was enough! OMG.! What has happened to it? No sign of the portly farang, thus has the feeling that that place was running down like a no-longer-powered flywheel, as it were: true: cool towelets still provided; we asked for Schweppes' & Lemon-sodas and were given Singha's soda-water with slices of lemon; qual. of R&F. a go-go boys sadly fallen right DOWN, possibly just above say A-BOMB qual.?; music loud;no smoking!
DAVID - non-alc. drinks 120.Bh.; nine a go-go dancers, none of 'Offable.' qual.; had longish chat with khun Jhun - waiter - 26YO., hails from Roi-Et, speaks quite fair English - possibly 'Offable.'?
SUPER STAR SHOW BAR - non-alc. drinks 110.Bh.; some score of a go-go dancers; rather kitshie decor.;
TOY BOYS - No comment.
-- HAPPY A GO-GO BAR - Sunnee plaza. - non-alc. drinks 90.Bh.; were told that 20 dancers avail., but saw only 07. of them; a couple of other farangs came-in, but otherwise far from busy;
MIC-MY BAR. - Many young men, but did not count them; several displaying their assets and/or m'bating.; one VWE. for a Thai youth. Quite a few & other customers - noted that it was the younger & twinkier young men who seemed to be the MORE pop. for being asked to join the farangs.

-- My Enthusiastic & Am. Friend and I arr'd. at our usual conession at around 1911oo.hrs.; Khun Nat - the concession-holder's factotum - wasn't there, so we made do with the svces. of his assts. instead;
- At approx. 12.15.hrs. my E&AF. noticed a small procession of Pattaya's Finest, four on their m/s. and one PU., driving-along the small & brick-surfaced rd. that separates the beach from the beach-front ptys. and in the gen'l. dir'n. of the tall tower with its two cable-cars;
- All of a sudden a comotion as a young & male ice-cream vendor dashed between our concession and the neighboring one with one of Pattaya's Finest, obviously one of the younger & LESS paunchy members, in hot pursuit. The YM. ran straight into the sea to above his chest, but managing to keep his p'styrene. box, with its ice-creams, balanced on his shoulder. The police-man halted at the water's edge, waited for several moments before turning-around and walking-back, smiling ruefully; we spectators were smiling a bit MORE broadly as it was all too obvious with whom our sympathies lay.
- The YM. stayed in the water for quite some time and then made his way, still in the sea, away from the dir'n. taken by the police, who, after some half-an-hour, were seen ret'g. whithersoever;
- After a further 40 or so mins. the ice-cream vendors re-appeared; we were given to u'stand. that Pattaya's Finest were trying to shake-down each one of them for a 200.Bh. donation!

-- As an aside I was reminded of a long winded story that began with the Capt'n. of the USS. Constitution saying to some young matelot, clad only in his skivvies: 'Son, son, what are you doing standing here on the quarter-deck of the USS. Constitution, lad only in your skivvies, and in the cold clear light of the early American dawn?'.
- The matelot had picked-up some girl or other in a bar and they had ret'd. to her house for some nookie.
- But then, quite unexpectedly, who should return but her husband: 'Least-wise so I surmised from his opening remarks wch. went something like this: "Git outa ma wife, git outa ma bed and git outa a ma house.";
- 'So I got outa his wife, I got outa his bed and I got outa his house by jumping through the open window, pursued by the irate husband, or least-wise so I surmised from the opening remarks of the crowd wch. went stg. like this: "Run, run, hairy bum, there's a man chasing you with a large carving knife just one inch from your left testicle!";
- During the pursuit he nearly tripped-over a cat: 'Or least-wise so I surmised from the opening remarks of the crowd wch. went stg. like this: "Get outa his way, you furry four-legged f*cker, and let them that's gotta run, run!";
- Various other adventures & would-be mishaps ensued until at last the young matelot concluded by saying: "So you see, sir, that's how I come to be standing on the quarter-deck of the USS Constitution, lad only in my skivvies, and in cool clear light of the early American dawn.".
-- Apologies for the a/m. digression.

How things can be different from one night to another. Went last night to Sunny Place for the bingo. The portly owner was very much there, the house was packed, the atmosphere friendly. There were more boys than when I was there in July, and quite few to my taste, on top of the two who were competing for my attention. Had a very good evening ! and night, but that's another story

-- Khun Luky. -
- Tks. for yr. report; glad to read that the portly owner is still much in evidence, and that a good evening, and night, was enjoyed!

-- Gentle Reader, Should you be contemplating a last minute drive to PATTAYA then you might like to read the flg. web-site:
- > The Baht Stop <-> FORUMS > OPEN Forum > 'Traffic-snarls in Pattaya.';
- I fear lest 'Go well - go Shell.','The ESSO.-sign means happy motoring.' or even the latter's 'Put a Tiger in yr. tank.' might not avail you very much.
-- NB.: There is no need either to Register or to log-IN for casual reading.

Traffic was quite bad over the weekend- mainly because the cops decided to "regulate" flows causing more chaos than the usual free for all (e.g around the dolphin round about) - but not much worse than the new year or Songkran periods. Most of the Jomtien road widening now finished and dual highway right though and parallel to Jomtien Beach road means quicker run to Na-Jomtien areas.

Getting out of Pattaya tonight and back into BKK will be hell as a million people head back home after their un-planned extra long weekend.

Have been here in PATTAYA from 02-05 nov. -
1.- Hotel full of boisterous Russians on package-deal holidays;
2.- Beach full of the usual Germans!
3.- Weather mild & pleasantly warm, with generally a gentle breeze blowing;
4.- Bars & clubs seem to be variably busy from night-to-night; my Enthusiastic & Am. Friend went to HAPPY PLACE on 04 nov. evening: portly farang in attendance, so music not too loud, service attentive & efficient; possibly some 30 R&F. a go-go boyz, mostly hy. tattooed; many visitors, almost sitting-on eachothers' knees;
- While there I visited MIC-MY BAR on two successive nights, tue. & wed.: tue. quite busy with several young men shewing-off their assets; but on wed. nigh on empty of both YM. and visitors. Also visited HAPPY BAR twice, non-alc. drinks at 90.Bh.: first time quite busy with several YM., all wearing their usual & slitted shorts, on parade, 2nd. time LESS so; also to EROS BAR wch. wasn't all that busy, some half-a-dozen YM. available, all wearing briefs; non-alc. drinks at 90.Bh.; but three enormous farangs, who made my E&AF. - who weighs some 330lbs.,(say 150.Kg. or 24.stone.) - seem quite under-nourished by comparison, were amongst the spectators

-- My Enthusiastic & Am. Friend and I ret'd. to BKK. today, (05 nov. - 'Remember, remember the fifth of november ... .'), forenoon; from PATTAYA to EKKAMI 'bus.-stn. no problems, 'buses. dep. PATTAYA for BKK's. other 'bus.-stns, and also MUKDAHAN in NE.I-SAN;
- On DONGTAN BEACH many chatty & loud-voiced Germans, who otherwise appeared to be harmless. V. few Russians seen near the AVALON HTL'S. end, prefering to gather at the farther end and nearer to the tall twr. with its cable-cars;
- A fair number of the usual and poor but honest beach vendors hawking their wares, wch. incl. porno. DVDs. of young persons of questionable ages;
- Our htl. - MIKE'S HTL., nr. to 'Walking St.' - full of Russians on package tours: commandeered the swimming-pool from opening to closing times, and later ran up-and-down the corridors hallooing & shouting until the wee small hrs..
- My E&AF. told me that he encountered a gp. of four & youngish males in a 7/11. store: all wanted the same & small product - LESS than 20.Bh. - and all paid individually with 1K.BH. notes, after wch. they remained at the till until requested to move, wch. they did with ill-grace and then gathered outside the shop's door stopping all INgress & Egress until after they'd finished their conversation: 'Nekulturni-i mujiki-i.' as they say in Mother Russia!
- While the Russians might be welcomed for the income that they bring they are far from welcome by the mild-mannered Thais for their boorish behaviour:

-- My Enthusiastic & American Friend and his lady-friend have been in PATTAYA for the last few days;
- A brief SMS. has informed me that SUBWAY SANDWICH BAR - Pattaya South rd.,(Beach rd. end.), has CLOSED;
- VASA BAR - Boyztown has CLOSED;
- The portly gentleman is seen at HAPPY PLACE - Boyztown, but the quality of the young men on the stage therein is of 'Tuk-tuk driver.' standard: but possibly that means too many tattoos?
- E&OE. as reported speech.

-- My above-mentioned friend, my Elderly, Frequently-visiting & Am. Friend and I plan to visit on or about 02 jan 2012..
