When I give a trip report I find myself repeating most the info from previous one's as I usually stay in the same accommodations. So just some updates.
Baan Dok Mai still excellent place to stay. Huge rooms on top floor for Bt850, great owner Warwick who is approachable regarding any issue of the guuesthouse and Pattaya in general. Rooms with huge TV, DVD etc.
Mosaik still top notch in quality and service. Room had large TV, DVD, microwave, cooker with cooking utensils etc.. great when the bf wants to rustle up a quick meal and of course reheat the stuff from Wat Chai he didn't finish the previous night!
Just a follow-on note regarding booking here as discussed in another thread with Nirish guy. There are alot of spaces for bookings even at peak times, talked with Nong about this and if you have any flexibility on dates, just email your max/min dates and ask what is available, you will then (hopefully) get a choice.
Also worth noting about Mosaik is that unlike hotels where you have to check-out by 12 noon on your leaving day, with Mosaik they leave a full day between bookings, so you have until the office closes to check out and leave your room..that's about 5.30pm.
Highlights were in Pattaya...
Last trip I noted Toyboys had taken a turn for the better, well that has continued and even improved on, there was a large selection of guys here from femme but more in the handsome catagory, and a couple of 'stunners'. If you are visiting the bars just to off a boy definitely give Toyboys a chance, they were also very busy with customers the night we went. Funny Boys too had a large selection of guys and again one or two very handsome/cute guys there.
Happy Place continues to be consistant with regards to everything there. Sat with owner M a couple a times, and the bar was lively, one visit with Siberian Asian females (according to the waiter) who were having a great raucous time with the dancers and that fun element spread amoung the rest of the customers, still a good bet for a fun time.
I would also recommend Oscars if you are looking for a nice, cute guy to off. There are a few new guys here, a couple of the sunee cuties, and all very interactive with customers. About 12.30am the boys had accumulated three half finished bottles of whiskey, a Red, a Black, and a Piper donated by customers leaving and turned things into a little party, great fun and laugh when they joke with eachother and got invovled with paper/sissors and a dice! some genuinely nice guys here. Panorama usual good crowd and good waiters. Again very few Russians here compared to previous trips.
Best single visit to a bar was in sunee however. As I was heading along soi VC to get a songtaew to Jomtien late afternoon, Beer of Nice Boys stopped me for a chat, he said that he had lots of new guys and that the fun element had been 'upped'. Owners and mamasans often try to get you in with the same type of info, but he was very sincere/serious when talking to me, so later that evening i popped into Nice Boys, what a surprise! It was the busiest bar i have ever seen in the last 5 years in Pattaya, i managed to squeeze into a seat on the right as you come in the door, ALL seats were taken by customers and boys with them. Huge amount of boys both on stage and going around the bar. My previous visit there a few days earlier had mostly man-boys but this visit was a REAL mix of femme, ordinary and man-boys all plenty in numbers. And there was a real fun vibe to the place. Could have taken a few of the boys there. Also despite being so busy, the service was spot-on with the waiters alert rather than just playing around with friends, great visit. If it is still the same I would highly recommend a visit here. Oh and didn't see any dubious aged boys there either!
Didn't manage many visits to late nite clubs as my bf was learning to drive on this visit and we had to be up at a reasonable time most days to accommodate that. But we had a great time at Stardice in north Pattaya. We went early 10.30pm and it was packed with Asians, Korean, Japanese having a whale of a time, they REALLY get into the vibe there, odrinary folks dancing on the podiums etc..I was the only farang as far as we could see, very few Thais all Asians from other ASEAN countries. Whilst it closes after 3am, most of the fun stops about 1.30-2am which is ideal if you want a reasonable time for heading home. Great show and band with dancers like Hollywood, and great DJ with different tunes more in line with Korean songs, which was good for a change to the normal DJ stuff. Great place for a change of scene.
Hollywood was it's usual full to the brim the night we went, still good vibe and show/band, pity about the same/same/same DJ tunes you hear every other place.
NAB...ok for us as we had our own company to enjoy, but both visits it was half full, show ok, joking katoey ok, Coyotes ok, DJ good. All-in-all we still enjoyed ourselves. Very few westerners/russians this time.
Tried a couple of Walking St clubs/pubs one night on this trip. Insomnia..a bit boring really, nothing special..just foreigeners looking to hook up with Thai girls, Lucifers...excellent band but again other than than a bit boring too, had heaps of middle estern guys sitting around the edges of the place nursing a coke, beer or nothing at all leering at the Thai girls available on the floor. We had a Thai girl friend with us and she got fed up knocking back approaches from men there, and many non-too subtle with their opening line! Walking Street Pub was a bit more lively because it's smaller, everybody dancing here in the area near the DJ, lots of glass chinking, but again really for foreign males looking for Thai ladies....
Enough already...........I'll make a little Bkk report separately.
