On gaybuttonthai, gaybutton and corner bar [owner] visited Montys and posted this review. It has already attracted a reply from jinks and will probably be a populat thread. In the interest of getting some positive news about Sunee and pattaya I have cut and pasted the review and include a link for those who wish to read further comments.
This evening TheCornerBar and I stopped in at Monty's. Monty sat with us and we had a long conversation. At the entrance is a large couch, along with several tables, chairs, and the bar, which is now fully stocked and ready to go. The toilet is also conveniently located on the ground floor as well. There is also a small stage in the back corner and Monty is planning some periodic entertainment there. He even mentioned that magician he would often have at his Jomtien location.
Food is also ready to go. He has both a farang food and a Chinese food menu. All the farang food selections are 150 baht apiece. Each selection comes with a salad and fries. He offers everything from hamburgers to a seafood platter. While we were there a customer ordered the seafood platter. It looked and smelled delicious and the customer gave it a definite thumbs-up. We don't know how Monty is doing it for only 150 baht.
Monty also has a Chinese food menu, with most items in the 90 baht range. Monty said he took Chinese cooking lessons while he was in Australia, hence the Chinese food menu.
There will be a computer downstairs and several upstairs for "hookup" use. It's going to be several more days before he's ready to open upstairs. Monty also has several ideas for attracting boys and freelancers to the bar. It was pointed out in another post that boys might be reluctant to come to the bar and especially reluctant go go upstairs by themselves. Monty wasn't born yesterday and he's been around the Pattaya boys long enough to know what he needs to do to attract them to the bar.
His drink prices are very low, lower than most bars. Monty said he's only making 10 to 20 baht on the drinks. He said he knows better than to try to get rich running a bar and that's not what he's looking to do.
TheCornerBar and I were quite pleased with Monty's and as far as we could tell, so were the other customers. And Monty is a very congenial host.

No, what is wrong in posting a positive thread, after all the negative rubbish that has been posted that has been the mainstay of this board this last 12 months.
Might I ask you to give a link to a positive post you have made recently about any venue in Pattaya, on this forum. I know it must be hard to go back through the hundreds of posts you have made over the last 6 months, to find one positive thing in your flood of posts. Be daring and try.
If you're going to get on your high horse why not post your own review rather than riding on the coattails of others?
Notwithstanding the review, who on earth would refer to himself as"The Corner Bar"?
Why not just use a real name?
From what I've seen it's extremely unlikely that anyone would stalk him,
except an undertaker maybe.

Might I ask you to give a link to a positive post you have made recently about any venue in Pattaya, on this forum. That's a very easy - there are none. This Forum is about Gay Thailand and I live in Bangkok. I visit Pattaya infrequently. I know that for many posters Thailand = Pattaya and Pattaya = Thailand and I infer that you are one of them. If you bothered to check you will see that I recently posted an extensive, positive "review", if that is the word, of why a newcomer to Bangkok might choose the Tarntawan Hotel (http://www.sawatdee-gay-thailand.com/forum/gay-thailand-f9/need-advice-from-bkk-experts-this-hotel-t21067.html) (which is not in Pattaya, by the way). However, please persist in your fantasy that you are the only person who posts worthwhile and original items here.
L-Wombat,
to tell you nicely,you seem to have some sort of obssession with this monty guy.I forget the saying but it goes something like you think the sun shines out of his ...
The majority of posters it seems on this forum dont really care too much for him.
You post threads continually about him.It does get a bit boring especially if you cut and paste from another forum that the majority of us couldn't care less about,otherwise we would go to that forum and read it ourselves wouldn't we?
And secondly how are you to know the OP of that post wanted it cut and pasted to here,did you take their feelings into account,did you ask them for permission,they may be livid to see it on here.
Now please dont take it the wrong way but do you see the point im making?
Rather than abuse other posters try to see what your doing your self.Im sure deep down you are a nice guy however.

Scotty has every reason to be frightened, he did after all receive a mysterious phone call one night in his room where neither he nor his boyfriend could understand what was being said and had to flee his hotel room in fear of his life. We still do not know if that mysterious caller has ever been apprehended.
Did you bring that up again about dear Scotty, Diec? Bad boy! Shame on you! :sign5: You know she is paranoid enough about me let alone those mysterious calls and stalking all the way to the Mercure by such evil people, out to do her harm! Or steal her meat! :sign5:

When I was in Jtmn a few months back I had a meal in the plaza where he used to have the Bar opposite Bondi (long since gone). Of course it was an empty shell so I am pleased to see that he is back in business somewhere in the area. Lets hope he has sorted out the lease and does NOT wait on tables but rather lets young shirtless men do the waiting jobs...
A great host and an interesting old fella
Good luck Monty!!

Monty is planning an opening on 1 June including a pig roast, if he can catch Billy.
Billy is back on this board again but may have has returned home to Sydney.
Surprise 1 June is Monty's managers birthday.
At the moment first floor not open yet, second and third floor are rooms for hire and top floor is undercover laundry area.
Monty did a chinese cooking course when back in Australia and is apparently very good. I hope the Thai cooks are good learners.

On gaybuttonthai, gaybutton and corner bar [owner] visited Montys and posted this reviewThanks for taking the time to post for those who do not visit GBT.
Does Monty give you a commission for all this brown-nosing?It's called helpful information, something this forum used to be well know for and which most of the posts were. Until that is you and your ilk decided to infest this forum with your flooding, sniping, unfunny boring repetitive JUNK
If you're going to get on your high horse why not post your own review rather than riding on the coattails of others?Instead of wasting your time with childish sniping why don't you produce ANYTHING helpful, your own review of an establishment perhaps? At least Lonleywombat is taking time and making an effort to post relevant information.
If you bothered to check you will see that I recently posted an extensive, positive "review", if that is the word, Well now, ONE informative post out of hundreds. How we will miss your extensive repertoire of interesting and helpful information when you finally decide to not to 'cross over' with the new owners.
I certainly hope Monty is successful as I would wish any gay bar or business in Thailand. I'm not sure just how popular it will be with the gay romeo crowd he seems to be aiming the bar at, mixing gay romeo punters, boys and customers has the potential for nicking eachothers contacts, or it could increase your contact base depends how you look at it. The main thing is it's a new, untried format and in this financial climate at least he is trying to offer something different from most of the other host/beer bars. So i say good luck to him too.

I have been asked exactly where it is. It was a bar a long time ago.
If you stand on the patio of La Cage you will see a small soi running between soi VC and soi 17. Montys is in that soi with a monster banner stretched across the soi so you cannot miss it.
One question I cannot answer ---- is the this the building that Ron with Monty's assistance had the hostel for boys with serious health problems.

... when you finally decide to not to 'cross over' with the new owners.I realise that this may prove a huge disappointment to you but a careful reading of my original comment about crossing over was that I would not be crossing over to the new (or resurrected) Forum that Jinx had proposed; that is, I'm staying put. Doubtless this will result in a comeback from you along the lines of "ho, ho, ho looked how I've hooked old thonglor" but I've covered the nature of your hooks already in another thread (http://www.sawatdee-gay-thailand.com/forum/posting-guidelines-and-discussion-f11/trolling-and-trawling-t21092.html). I realise my posts are a sad disappointment to all you high-minded folks but the Rhett Butler response to all that sort of thing is my text for today (and every day).

No, this is not the same building. That one is further down the soi on the same side. This is the building that Pattys was in for a couple of years

So, from this 'positive review' our knowledge is enriched by these scant facts:
This new venue has tables, chairs, a couch and a fully stocked bar.
There is a toilet and it is located on the ground floor.
There is a small stage and entertainment is planned for a future date.
Various forms of Western and Chinese food are served.
The food looks and smells 'delicious' but the reviewer did not sample any of it.
The food is cheap.
Provision of computers is planned but they are not yet installed.
Boys will be encouraged to frequent the bar in the future.
Drink prices are low (no example quoted).
The reviewer was moved to conclude that he and his companion were 'quite pleased' by their experience and surmised that others might too express similar emotions. The reviewer reaffirmed his belief that the host is congenial.
As a review, and one that is heralded as 'positive', I feel that it has something lacking and I was left feeling somewhat disenchanted and despondent. I learned little about this latest addition to the pulsating night life of Sin City in the Land of Smiles beyond the functional and mundane prerequisites of any such entertainment venue тАУ but not it's location. The review contains even less in way of informed opinion or entertaining exposition so perhaps, in order to remain positive, we could conclude that it is a case of the less said, the better.
I was hoping for a something that would impress us all with the sense of excitement and anticipation that surrounds the opening of a new venue. Since it is branded as positive, I was expecting an article that would enthrall the reader with descriptions of the fresh d├йcor, the marvelous sound systems and the attractive and attentive waiting staff. We might have expected to be enticed by detailed descriptions of the ambience of the exotic orient created by the skillful use of aromatic teakwood furniture; plump silk embroidered cushions, lush palm fronds and carved screens creating intimate seating clusters with the sounds of gentle Thai classics wafting through the air. But perhaps this bar is in fact uber-chic with cool white ceramic floors and low level colored LED lighting and the latest chill-out lounge vibes satisfying our auricular needs. And yet the atmosphere might even reflect the rich subtleties of the Chinese cuisine on offer - the cook having been schooled in the art of it's preparation after all.
But there was none of that. Instead, by this perfunctory piece of prose, we were left to assume that this facility will just join the ranks of countless other drinking holes somewhere in the back streets of Shitsville, devoid of any character or charm and patronized by scruffy lonely individuals attracted by a host in their own likeness, for it is only they that will tolerate the tedium of his company at the bar, and he theirs. Whilst the talk will be of those halcyon days filled with afternoons by a pool full of street kids, international celebrity transvestite lip-sync cabaret shows, charity gala dinners, and cordon-bleu chefs in semi-retirement, the reality is that they are there for the low-priced drink and the hope that some of those kids from the pool might drop by again. But, as noted by the reviewer, the host was not born yesterday and he knows his target clientele. Far from demanding any sophistication or elegance, with obesity, incontinence and arthritis rife amongst them, his patrons will satisfied by the provision of a toilet on the ground floor.

So, from this 'positive review' our knowledge is enriched by these scant facts:Scant yet informative facts which offer a positive rather than negative review. The rest of your puffed-up, overblown pretentious post offers no real relevant or further information for the readers
Far from demanding any sophistication or elegance, with obesity, incontinence and arthritis rife amongst them, his patrons will satisfied by the provision of a toilet on the ground floor.Clearly if you have no intention of moving from your own world of sophistication and elegance to visit the bar to find out for yourself, one has to wonder why you actually bothered to post in the first place.
I have personally never met or seen Monty or even visited one of his businesses in all the years I have been coming to Thailand, and only know of him and his activities from forums such as this one, but given the huge change in sunee from when he did have bars there I think it only fair to give his new business a fair chance as would be given to any other new gay business without harking back to past happenings, which were in another time, things in sunee have changed much for the better since a few years ago I would say.
I realise that this may prove a huge disappointment to you but a careful reading of my original comment about crossing over was that I would not be crossing over to the new (or resurrected) Forum that Jinx had proposed; that is, I'm staying putA careful reading of your original comment would also reveal that you said you would NOT be crossing over to a forum with the same moderator as present, you made that quite clear. So if the present moderator stays on in his capacity which I sincerely hope he does, then obviously you won't be 'staying put' according to your very own words. It was the issue with the moderator you clearly cited as being the reason for not crossing over. Yet another squirming, waffling 'u-turner'.
looked how I've hooked old thonglorNot necessary on this occassion as your are doing a superbly excellent and laudable job of hooking and tying yourself up in your own knots. Highly amusing for the spectators. Care to dig yourself in even deeper? You still have time to offer another futile excuse for your u-turn, however you could just stand by your word and simply disappear when the takeover is complete as you said you would. I don't forsee much, or indeed any, resistance from the membership to such an undertaking .

Just came back from having a drink with Monty at his new place. There is a nice bar, 4 or 5 tables, and a small stage. He is planning to open the upstairs soon as he just bought the furniture today. We talked about old times and how we missed them. He is confident and happy to be involved again in the Sunee area. We laughed at the speculation that the Soi is now is unsafe. I don't know what the future will hold but he remains the consummate optimist! He is anticipating a Grand Openning...roast pig etc. June 1st.

A post that rather supports Minimee's insightful comments on the attractions of the place to potential patrons. Despite previous references to furniture yet to be bought, it appears it does at least have four or five tables. Heavens, what an attraction. What next, chairs?!
Of course the place should be given a fair chance, but fair cuts both ways, and over hyping a venue that has yet to get it's furniture or staff sorted out, and advertises chinese food on the basis that the owner has had a week's course in chinese cooking is laughable!
When all is said and done, and when the furniture is sorted and there is something to put on the empty stage, and the computers are actually bought, the primary attraction sounds likely to be Monty, for those who like him, and it is clear that there are also a number of people who would cross the road to avoid him. Either way, the more you try to force him on people like a cross between Mother Teresa and Danny La Rue the more opinions polarise.

There have been a couple of straight forward, down to earth reviews and that's about it. Given that the thread is entitled Monty's new cafe, the thought that the simple act of posting on it about the topic can be classed as over-hyping is absurd. The only over-the-top posts here seem to be the negative ones, from those who have'nt even visited it yet. I don't really have an opinion one way or another about Monty himself as I dont know the man, but I still hope it, like any new gay business in Thailand succeeds.

You contribute nothing to this forum except sneyd remarks and condesendinfg remarks ...Is this a regression into the world of Middle English? I take it "sneyd" is the old form of modern English "snide", but "condesendinfg"? I've never seen the silent "f" used in such a context before. The silent "p" now - as in "sea bathing" - is almost too well known to bear comment, but "condesendinfg" for "condescending" is a new one on me. The history of the "f" sound itself is an interesting one. The cannibals in New Zealand pronounce "wh" as "f" and it's politically correct for all New Zealanders to use the cannibal pronunciation even when there's a perfectly good English pronunciation around. ("get whucked" is the written form of a favorite greeting). Those cannibals are revered in that country, being trail-blazers themselves in the fields variously of ethnic cleansing (the original inhabitants of the Shaky Isles were all murdered by them), conservation (they hunted the giant native ostrich, known as the "moa" to extinction) and urban renewal (their favourite form of settlement was the fortified village where they could defend themselves against other cannibal tribes seek to rape and pillage them). Such a wonderful example for today's society, don't you think? The local cannibal form of the Thai "wai" is blowing snot up each other's noses, apparently. Isn't Monty a New Zealander?

Combat, I think one's nationality flows from where one is born. If I were born in Thailand of Thai and Irish parents, I could claim dual nationality. But given that my parents were both Irish, my nationality is Irish. Btw, don't confuse nationality with citizenship, an entirely different state of being (or can be).

Btw, don't confuse nationality with citizenship, an entirely different state of being (or can be).It's also untrue that being born in Thailand makes you Thai. At least one parent has to be a Thai citizen. As I recall the US is the one of the few countries where anyone born within its borders is legally a citizen, irrespective of the status of the parents, courtesy of the 14th Amendment. There are stories from time to time of ethnic Koreans whose family has been in Japan for several generations being denied citizenship there because they are not ethnically Japanese. Not that Asians are racist, mind you. That's exclusively a disease of white people, usually men.

Brad you have a history of anti Monty posts so your current post is not surprising. Monty has not made any of the posts himself .They have been made by people who regard him as a friend and a welcome change to the plasctic alternatives, People who are pleased to see him back in Pattaya.
No one is trying to force him on anybody. Montys name was in the header. Knowing your dislike of him I am surprised you read the thread although not surprised that you had to get another snide comment in.
BTW Montys will not be up to your usual standard. I am not sure where you stay but it must be in one of your old posts. Save us the trouble, where do you stay in Pattay if you ever visit.

Montys will not be up to your usual standard. I am not sure where you stay but it must be in one of your old posts. Save us the trouble, where do you stay in Pattay if you ever visit.
To save him the trouble, from his past posts, I think Brad is in a stable relationship and is not a fan of Shitsville and prostitutes...
Why does Brad bother then with this forum? Does he even come and visit?
Went to Montys for his all day breakfast and 99 baht excellent value. Happy hour Heineken beers 69 baht all day very competitive. Some posters want Hilton service and amenities but still want happy hour prices. Me I am not a 2 bob millionaire just someone who looks for good value . Not snobbish about plastic tables and chairs.

Best line on this less-than-positive thread.

hahaha Smiles it would be a f####### big pig roast that monty would thoroughly enjoy
I was there a couple days after he opened and it is a nice place. Drinks are his usual not so expensive and the food - if past experience is any indication - will be good and not expensive. Let's see how it goes for him but for me, I will be back. Good luck Monty

I "bother" with this forum because it is about Gay Thailand, which many posters find is a larger topic than prostitutes and Pattaya. Have nothing against prostitutes and my bf and I have often found one to play with, when in the mood. I think that shitsville is a fairly accurate description of Pattaya however, and we've only visited once in the last eight or nine years. In answer to Wombat's question we stayed at Poseidon.
I find it amusing when snobbery is exhibited by gay men.
If they would just remember that they are regarded by very many (including some of their relatives, and work colleagues) as nothing more than filthy, degenerate, homosexuals who ought be be shot/castrated/locked up and left to rot, then they might better understand that living in Hua Hin or wherever does not in any way raise them above the inhabitants of Pattaya - except in their tiny minds perhaps.
Just a thought.

I stopped by the other day for a couple of beer and some cat food....all in all a good experience...but I have low standards so I am often happy and amused when other people are miserable.
I believe the key to happiness in life is low standards and early dementia.

Just a thought.Not a particularly intelligent thought either; I never assume that anyone else's opinion of me is the standard by which I should judge myself and I don't see why you would either, scottish-guy. Beachlover made a comment the other day about the typical Pattaya resident and although it is one with which I concur I do not expect any single one of them to agree with me.

Don't blame jinks. Your problem is that you insist on staying in that "bastion of wholesomeness" the Atlanta Hotel as a permanent resident, and they are filtering your internet access.

L-Wombat,
to tell you nicely,you seem to have some sort of obssession with this monty guy.I forget the saying but it goes something like you think the sun shines out of his ...
The majority of posters it seems on this forum dont really care too much for him.
You post threads continually about him.It does get a bit boring especially if you cut and paste from another forum that the majority of us couldn't care less about,otherwise we would go to that forum and read it ourselves wouldn't we?
And secondly how are you to know the OP of that post wanted it cut and pasted to here,did you take their feelings into account,did you ask them for permission,they may be livid to see it on here.
Now please dont take it the wrong way but do you see the point im making?
Rather than abuse other posters try to see what your doing your self.Im sure deep down you are a nice guy however.
Hey Billy now you have been outed as Billy who did a runner on Monty, almost lived in his bar a few years ago,broke one of his beds in his B&B and defended you when others were angry, why this pretence of not knowing Monty.
I am sure that his opening night on Wednesday, will be attended by many that remember him with fond memories.
Hi,
I remember going down to see Monty both when he had the small b and b and also the swimming pool bar. He is a survivor and eeks or scratches out a living.
I have found Monty to like a drink on occasion, like many of us, I also found him quick to offer help and advice on some of the cheaper options for travellers, (what he does best!) be it hotels or travel advice for them and also go the extra mile to please them and cater for their often difficult whims.
He would introduce people to each other, as some people can be shy, without bein overly pushy and never being actually malicious to anybody or 'over egging the pudding ' with his opinions or views.
He can be funny and also a bit of a pisspot, but never was he dull.
My fondest memory of him, and he may not remember, was sitting in his bar this particular day and a young Thai walked in, sat down, ordered food,ate it and left without paying and just a bit of a smile to Monty but with no Thank you.
When I queried the lack of payment, Monty informed be the young man was sick, so didn't work and Monty made sure he ate every day. No drama, no fuss, no shouting how great he was under the glare of publicity lights or from a stage, just a ' matter of fact ' statement and then hemoved on telling m some local gossip that we were both interested in.
I have seen other instances of his ' off the cuff ' kindness. Monty is not a rich man in monetary wealth, but he is in my eyes!
Nobody is perfect and sometimes with Pattaya, even the best of us get weary of the tiresome systems changing and constantly being on our guard about the next new rule or regulation.
Maybe, one or two of you did not see him at his best on your particular visit. The man has been up and down with health issues.
I wish him every success with his little venture, he doesn't harm anybody and is a colourful character.
GO GET EM MONTY!

Kevin, thanks for your post. I am not sure Monty would want to have publicity for the non profit Guardian Angels that he and Ron ran for boys with HIV. He did this out of his own pocket never asked for help that I am aware of. He had a lot of compassion for those less fortunate than him and would give the shirt off his back.
Someone earlier mentioned Mother Teresa--- I wish you could wash your mouth out. He is a bigger man than you will ever be.

When all is said and done, and when the furniture is sorted and there is something to put on the empty stage, and the computers are actually bought, the primary attraction sounds likely to be Monty, for those who like him, and it is clear that there are also a number of people who would cross the road to avoid him. Either way, the more you try to force him on people like a cross between Mother Teresa and Danny La Rue the more opinions polarise.
Actually you may have a point, for a person that has not been to Pattaya for 8 years. Did you ever meet him?
Christ lonely - are you an Monty fucking? Give it a rest already.
I don't know Monty - any time I decided to go see what all the fuss was all about, he had moved on - or for some other reason I never caught up with him.
He does certainly seem to divide opinion.
I like that!
There is nothing worse than blandness, so I intend to make it a mission to finally find out for myself.

Yes, I know exactly where the zebra and the giraffe are and I'm not telling you.
The Zebra and the Giraffe haven't fled to Phuket with the Wildebeest and the Three-Toed Sloth, have they?
I seriously doubt the sanity of several SGT members - they ought not to be at large.

And to what purpose?Too much free time!I'm afraid lonelywombat has long been the king of cut'n'paste. If I want to read drivel I'd prefer to make the choice to do so myself and wander over to Gaybutton where, according to Beachlover
Gaybutton's forum has a pretty narrow subject matter. It's almost 90% about Pattaya and mostly oriented towards sleazy low-life dumb fuck creeps living in a bubble in Pattaya, bitching about their last prostitute failing to please them or something...so quite an incentive, really, to spend some time on that Board.
