Thai Boys' Favorite Eateries in Pattaya

i have never pretended that it is not a buy-and-sell transaction. Perhaps the ultimate way to impress the boy is a big stack of notes imprinted with the king that never smiles. however, i still think it's nice touch to show the boy you do care somehow. so any restaurant ideas? any personal favorites where your boy(s) would enjoy eating and you simply drool looking at him?

p.s. i am coming in mid december. are boyztown and sunee getting busier?

Why are you asking us instead of him?

I bet he would rather have the money and go drinking with his friends than have you drooling over him whilst he pretends to enjoy himself eating in a restaurant he would probably go no where near except with a 'customer'............

Not sure you are looking for a Farang Style or Thai style restaurant?

My BF likes the Sea food Restaurants right at the very end of Na Jomtien - its probably 4-5 KMs south of the gay beach at Dongtan

Depending on the tide you will eaither be eating on the beach or the embankment next to the road... Bring a gang as its as cheap to feed 2 there as it is 4! (oh and its NOT cheap!)
Best time to go is around dusk...

I think even BB recomended this place in a recent post

Nearer to Pattaya BF like to Eat at Cham-Nan restaurant which is a street side place when travelling north just after the junction of 3rd Rd and South Pattaya rd (opposite side to all on Tonys Places)

In an easterly direction from this same junction and befoe Soi Bunkot (where DUDE used to be)there are 3 restaurants all named Si Saket, they can get quite busy from 1-4AM BF aso like to eat there.... But bear in mind all these places are Thai style so don't expect and comforts!

I would always suggest all 'you can eat' Thai buffets. Not my favourite eating places but a firm favourite with the boys. It is the perfect place for not having to worry about face-saving, not offending either party and all that crap with how much to order and not seeming to be greedy.

They are ideal for a few reasons. Everybody knows how much it is upfront 99Bt/129bt/199bt or whatever and that is just as important to the boy as it is to you who will be paying the bill as he will consider that it is delivering good value for you the bill payer. Also it avoids the boy feeling embarrassed about ordering what would be considered expensive extras in a conventional restaurant, also allows the boy to have various dishes that he would probably be too polite to ask for on a pay-for-plate basis and it is closer to the normal way Thais eat.....a good selection of many dishes at one sitting.

If my bf eats out with his friends when I'm not there, they always go to the all you can eat seafood joints. Many boys I know who are paying their own way like to eat there too.

If like me you are not too keen on these buffet style places you can still find something that will agree with you there, have a drink and still be involved. That is my suggestion.

Assuming he's from Issan, take him (and maybe another farang and Thai boy) out to Dumnan Issan. He'll probably love it, and you can get some decent food there; duck, fish, etc. After that, take him to a Thai BBQ restaurant, as they're excellent for both, Thai and farang. Cheap, and you get your own personal BBQ thing on the table, while you all enjoy cooking the food over a couple beers.

When I was there I was with 2 boys from Krazy Dragon and they liked any place we ate. They were very careful when they ordered as they didn't want me to spend too much money. I thought that was nice of them. It got to the point that they would take me to the best places to eat that were very inexpensive. When we got hungry I would just say "up to you" and they would take me some place. Just ask them...

I usually like to keep a Thai guy for the whole time I'm in Pattaya if we hit it off. I have had the same two guys for several years. They know I enjoy an evening that starts with the nice food experience. I usually choose the places I like to go, but once in a whlle i do suggest they choose where they would like to eat. Both the boys respond it is up to me, and then expand that when I am not with them, they can go to places they choose. Both cook rice for themselves and suppement their cooking with street food. To get either of their figure, I may try that cooking rice thing for myself, but that will be another story.

Ohhh, has nothing to do with rice. If anything, rice makes you fat. They just eat it because it's cheap.

If you want to lose weight, switch to spicy Thai food only, but it has to be at least spicy enough to give you a runny nose, if not make you cry a little. Cleans your insides right out, plus you naturally eat less, because it's too spicy to eat too much. :-)

because it's too spicy to eat too much. :-)

I hadn't thought of it that way. The combination of the temperature in Thailand (free sauna), the inexpensive fruit & vegetables, etc. allowed me to lose weight without trying.

In the US the cheapest food is a hamburger at McDonalds whereas it's something healthier in Thailand. I've read studies suggesting that this is a big factor in the size of Americans.

Why are you asking us instead of him?

Because their polite "up to you" response doesnt help much to someone who is clueless about Pattaya. :dontknow:

As bitterly funny as your response sounds, it rings a certain level of truth nevertheless. :thebirdman:

I have copied the directions down on my little notebook, and will try my best in locating these places. I suppose any thai boys do know what am i referring to right? :boxing:

Thank you for that wonderful "all-you-can-eat" solution. Any particular joints -- preferably seafood ones -- that you fancy? Would very much appreciate some directions.

I will remember that. Thanks!

Apart from having mere sex with them, taking them to eat seems like scoring first base to me. But cooking rice with them, second or even third base. And I dont even care if it gives me a belly or not.

By the way, I can finally squeeze some time to go to Pattaya in mid December! Lucky me... :bis:

[Patexpat]

....good chance the two boys will ignore eachother!

or more likely compare notes, which is much worse!

The only two rational posts so far were the first two:


I bet he would rather have the money and go drinking with his friends than have you drooling over him whilst he pretends to enjoy himself eating in a restaurant he would probably go no where near except with a 'customer'...........


Why are you asking us instead of him?

"Scoring first base" consists of giving him the maximum amount of money in return for his spending the minimum amount of time with you. Its really very simple, even to someone who is "clueless about Pattaya". Sitting in a restaurant with you drooling over him is not on that particular menu, so if you want to impress him give him the extra money you would have spent on your meals instead.

The idea of going with "a gang", or that you "tell him to bring a friend" sounds rather unlikely given your apparent reticence to pay an extra $100 for your flight at Christmas - particularly as you would probably end up being asked to pay for his friend's "off" and tip as well.

Keep it simple and financial: choose where you would like to go and leave it at that - if the tip is right he will be more than happy. Also you "suppose wrong" - it is unlikely that any but a very few will have any idea what you are referring to from your notes when it comes to place and restaurant names.

as bitterly and jaded as it may sound, your comment rings some truth. i guess everything is back to basic here: we are punters and they are hookers. no meals or little gestures can substitute a nice brownie note with the king that never smiles. :alc:

That's quite the sweeping generalization, isn't it?

I don't disagree with you or GF here. I'd just like to point out that another term for a 'hooker' is 'escort'. A lot of people are looking for companionship as much as sex, perhaps even moreso. Taking a guy out to dinner and being thoughtful enough to want to make it more enjoyable for him is not a bad thing.

[Surfcrest]

That's quite the sweeping generalization, isn't it?

Oh, and you don't think your statements to Sooty were any less of a generalization?
What about that caftan anyway? Should he / shouldn't he?

Speaking of fishing...
Gone Fishing is right. Thais don't eat to socialize, they eat out of necessity.
They eat sometimes 5 times a day, quick meals and then they get going.
If it were a social event, the meals would run concurrently.
You want to socialize? Buy a bottle, put it on the table and invite their friends over.
Better yetтАж..after a few drinks, get lost so they donтАЩt have to think to speak English
while they're drinking.

One eatery I had problems with this year was PaboongloyfaтАж.on the street with the
very bright fluorescent lights near Pattayaland. Be careful with the dipping sauce if its shared, meaning the same bowl moves from table to tableтАжusually used for the crab cakes / fish cakes.

Thais don't eat to socialize, they eat out of necessity.

I would beg to differ. communal dining is a big deal here, whether its with family, friends or school/work colleagues. you just have to walk around any street food 'restaurant' to see that.

Wow, you really need to get out of Pattaya more often.

[Smiles]

" ... it's nice touch to show the boy you do care somehow. so any restaurant ideas? any personal favorites where your boy(s) would enjoy eating and you simply drool looking at him? ... "
Take him to any Tesco-Lotus Food Court. Every Tesco supermarket has them. They have very good quality food, with a huge variety of Thai dishes and you'll easily get away with spending not much more than 40 baht for any given dish.
Lots of eating space to ogle the passing parade, or just sit and stare at your own company ... as you say you like to drool. (Sounds rather disgusting, but every man to his own Tom Yam Guy).


" ... Be careful with the dipping sauce if its shared, meaning the same bowl moves from table to table ... "
Make that, 'bowel movements'.

[Surfcrest]

So my point is, how long does the actual eating part last for a Thai?
If you are one that shovels your food in rather than dines, what's the comparison?

[cdnmatt]

So my point is, how long does the actual eating part last for a Thai?

Sometimes 10 minutes, and other times, 2 or 3 hours. For example, say there's two farangs and 3 - 4 Thai guys that go out for dinner at a Thai restaurant with no English on the menu, where the Thais are comfortable. That meal can very easily last 2 or 3 hours.

With us farangs when we go out for dinner, we all order one plate of food for ourselves, and quickly eat it while it's still warm. From my experience at least, Thais are different. Every 30 mins or so a couple small dishes of food are ordered, which are spread around the middle of the table, and everyone shares. Every few minutes you take a bite of whatever, and after an hour or two, you're full. :-)

The same goes for when we just pickup food in the market, and eat it here. It gets spread out onto a plate or two, placed in the middle of the table, and we all slowly eat as we have a drink and chat. Probably another reason Thais are so skinny. That's how you're supposed to eat; keeps the metabolism up!

So my point is, how long does the actual eating part last for a Thai?

till the food is finished

When we are talking about someone who is here for a few days and offing boys for sex/company, I don't think so.

There is no reason not to take him out for a meal and, as MLomker says, "being thoughtful enough to want to make it more enjoyable for him is not a bad thing" - in fact I would say it was a good thing and may even get you better service, but unless you want to start some sort of Long Distance Relationship (with all that entails!) do so on your terms and remember that whether you consider him a "hooker" or an "escort" you are still expected to pay him for his time (in cash), however you choose to spend it (sex, eating, shopping, disco, etc).




One eatery I had problems with this year was Paboongloyfa ...

Not so sure about the one near Pattayaland, but the ones on Pattaya Klang and Pattaya Nua are under new management (ownership?) and have gone downhill dramatically in the last couple of years.

you are still expected to pay him for his time (in cash), however you choose to spend it (sex, eating, shopping, disco, etc).

Fortunately, sex goes well with everything.
