Toy Boys

[francois]

Earlier on a poster wrote the following:

Personally I think that there is a lot more to Pattaya than S.Plaza.Why some people seem to talk about nothing else is just amazing.

Which was echoed by bruce-nyc:

Why do so few people talk about the go go bars that *I* think are the best in Pattaya.... In fact, they are rarely ever even mentioned...

A Bomb
Funny Boy
Toy Boy

As a result I did check out Toy Boys which I found to be a nice club with many nice boyz on stage. On one occasion had one sit with me for a chat and a drink and a good tip but little "action".

However the drink prices there are about 100 Baht more than say at Eros in Sunee. Not a lot for one drink but after two drinks for me and one for him the total was 660 compared to 360 at Eros. Also the tipping protocol is quite different than at Eros/Sunee. At Toy Boy I tried to put 100 Baht is cute boy's briefs and he pulled away in fear that I may touch his jewels. While at Eros a 100 Baht tip is amply rewarded.

So you decide which best suits you and post your thoughts.

It seems to me that there is a group of people who only visit S.Plaza which is ok.But I only go there with friends for a drink ..

Think your math is a little off unless the prices have gone way up in the last 60 days. 180 baht a drink is what I paid. Also if Eros is only charging 120 for a drink then they are way under the other GoGo Bars in Sunee which I am quite sure are at 160-180 baht although I will admit I don't pay a lot of attention to the prices unless I think I am getting robbed for 280 baht or more for a mediocre show.

Plus selection in Eros is pretty limited to 1 type and lots of customers like a selection.

[latintopxxx]

francois...didnt u kinda just answer your own question?? U try to tip a boy by slipping 100bht into his shorts and he PULLS AWAY??!! WTF!! Give me eros or good boys any day. And for those who have never set foot in eros, the boys will not hassel u if u dont want them sitting with u...they will move onto paying customers, so it is possible to sit there, enjoy a drink and watch the antics.

[frequentfliers]

I have been to Eros a few times,its good,but Funny Boys is my favourite.Purely a matter of taste..

[arsenal]

Francois: I have to agree with firecat on the prices, your quotes do seem to be higher than I remember from November. I personally have never had a boy refuse a tip put down his pants. And it's only ever 20 Baht. As for feeling his jewels, well that's the whole pint of it isn't it?

[francois]

Looks like I must return to both Eros and ToyBoys and make sure of the prices! I will say that there were a nice selection of boyz at ToyBoy on stage, while at Eros most of the dancers are sitting with customers so pickings are slimmer. =P~

[bruce_nyc]

Like someone said, I really don't pay much attention to the prices of the drinks... In fact, I can't even know what the prices are until I pay the bill. But the truth is... I don't really look even then. I assume if they're under 500 baht each, that's *very* reasonable for a drink in an excellent ***brothel***. GET REAL PEOPLE. You're not sitting in a run of the mill 7-11 in Indianapolis, or or in a Tesco in Essex !! You're having a drink inside a very entertaining full service brothel, for god's sake. Where else can you do that? If you want cheap beer, go right NEXT DOOR to the Family Mart or the 7-11 and buy a can of Leo there. And stay there. And drink it there. And enjoy that entertainment venue. Geez. I'd hate to go to a baseball game with some of you.... and never stop hearing about how the hotdogs at Yankee Stadium were $12 each.... and they're only $1.20 each at Costco. I say, Then go to Costco!

Also, I doubt that there's more than a dollar or two difference in your total cash outlay between Eros and any of the Boyztown gogo bars.

Me personally, I don't go to gogo bars to fondle each of the boys' genitals in front of their friends. I mean.... I might have one I like sit with me.... I might even hold him and touch him here and there. But I do it slightly more discreetly than sticking my hand inside his crotch in full view of everyone. For what!? He can sit with me. Talk a little small talk. I can discretely touch or feel anything I care to touch or feel.... But then I TAKE HIM ACROSS THE STREET to my hotel room and fuck his brains out. But that's me. I don't want to just touch a cock. I want to touch and fuck everything and more.

For some, they want the "action" to happen right there in the bar. For me, I want full on action in my bed in the privacy of my room. In a bar, maybe I get to touch his weiner. In my bed, we're making a full on porno with no cameras.

I do have a couple of rules I follow though. (1) When they ask me, "Do you want to buy the boy a drink?" I always say, "No. He doesn't want a drink. He wants money." Then I give the boy 100 baht immediately. Who can argue with that logic. The boy gets more than the cut he would get from that expensive drink that he's not even going to drink anyway. (2) I always tip any boy that I have sit with me. I tip him 100 baht directly. Unless I am taking him home. If I am taking him off, he'll get his tip later. (3) As I've said before, I always negotiate with the captain *and* the boy himself *before* we go anywhere... about exactly what I expect we will do, when, where, and for how long.... for how much total including all tips.

[bruce_nyc]

By the way, about sticking paper money into a gogo boy's crotch and getting a nice feel of his cock in the process... Just try doing that at a similar gay club in New York or London.... Try doing that at 21 Club in NYC. If you do it very openly and not discretely, I guarantee that he'll "pull away".... and even faster than his Thai counterpart. If you do it very discretely, while he's standing right up against you... then *maybe* he'll let you cop a feel... but only if nobody sees it, and you're a good tipper. And that bill had better be a $20 note.... or at least a $10. If you try that with a $1 or three $1 bills ( the equivalent of 100 baht ), you're likely to never see him again.... if he doesn't shove you.... or spill his drink on you....

Maybe I'm starting to get it. It's like the Thai "discos" which I call them exactly what they are, "buy a bottle of whiskey standup table clubs". They're *not* discos.

Sunee Plaza has the "fondle a cock for 20 baht" bars.

Boyztown has the "full on sex brothel" bars.

Thank you for the lecture on bar etiquette and tipping . A lecture that I don't need!

Anyone that has a boy sit with him and refuses to buy a drink for him is known as a Cheap Charlie. How big of you to give him 100 Baht and then refuse to pay the price of a drink to support the bar. You might be surprised to know that some bar owners will even take a boy's tip if a customer does not buy a drink. But then you seem to know everything but then you are from NYC.

[anonone]

Eros has different pricing for customer drinks and staff drinks.

I think staff drinks are 20 baht more, which is then given to the staff member (in the form of a chit) as their cut of the staff drink.

I do not pay much attention to pricing, but I thought drinks at Eros were 110 / 130.

I typically stay only in Sunee Plaza, though did manage a couple boys town visits last trip. It is a much different atmosphere. I didn't make it to Toy Boys, but will try to check it out in Jan. Without a doubt, for me Sunee plaza is much better overall.

[firecat69]

There is no right or wrong which area is preferred. But for the most part they attract different clientele . Sunee survives on residents of Pattaya especially in the 9 months of low Season.

No secret why!. Residents may venture out every night or most nights and spend substantial time in Beer Bars where drinks are even more inexpensive . Then some nights they make a stop in Eros etc. Well over a months time prices make a big difference to someone living on a budget. Also most have friends who meet and discuss events on a nightly basis and then may go to dinner.

It is also no secret that for those who have Thai Boy Friends , those Thai Boys are much more comfortable in Sunee. Not sure of all the reasons but familiarity with most of the crowd is I am sure a factor.

BT attracts the visitor who is in town for a short time and wants to maximize his selection of various types. To those people the difference in prices makes little difference to them. They are on vacation. And let's face it 1 Bar in BT on some nights has as many boys as all of Sunee including Beer Bars. Then there are at least 2 or 3 other bars that have upwards of 30 boys each. So if you are shopping for a date you go where the boys are.

Many BT customers don't even know of Sunee's existence. BT is set in between the 2 busiest roads in S Pattaya. Anyone can find it and once found everything else you need from shopping to hundreds of restaurants are easily found.

Then of course anyone who is looking for a more muscular boy would be wasting his time and money in Sunee.


For people who prefer Sunee they go rarely to BT and usually only for an XXX Show. The BT customers are more unlikely to ever set foot in Sunee.

Both have something to offer and the type of customer in each has remained pretty constant.

[bruce_nyc]

Thank you for the lecture on bar etiquette and tipping . A lecture that I don't need!

That's wasn't a lecture.... ( except maybe the part about remembering that you're *not* paying for a beer... when you order a beer in a gogo bar... you're paying for the place you're in... not the beer).

I was just explaining how I do it.... which I think is a very smart way to do it. So far, in the years I've been doing it that way, every boy is *very* happy to receive 100 baht in cash.... ( rather than a 20 baht chit ). And I make sure I give it directly to the boy.... secretly. They don't take it away from him. If I have any fear of that, I'd give it to him after we leave the bar. If a boy ever *asked* for a drink, I'd buy him one. But when the waiter automatically asks me, "Do you want to buy the boy a drink?" I tell the truth. "He doesn't want a drink. He wants cash. And we're leaving now anyway."

In the early days I used to fall for that "boy-drink" silliness. I'd pay for some overpriced fancy cocktail that they insisted he order.... and it would just sit there. He'd not even touch it. That happened so many times.... That's when I started saying, "No. He doesn't want a drink." Obviously, they play a game to try to trick the customer out of another 800 baht or whatever.... They coyly pretend like the drink is the boy's idea..... So I feel justified in playing the game right back at them. I say No. After all, it is my money. I know what the boy *really* wants.... and that's *cash*. "He doesn't want a drink.... He wants cash." .... is extremely truthful.

Oh, and by the way, don't worry about me not "supporting" the gogo bars. I support them much more than most people here do..... with the drinks ( cover charges ), and the off fees. Frequently, after I off a boy.... I'll show up at that same bar two hours later and off another boy that same evening. And as I said, I always give every boy who sits with me 100 baht.... ( not 20 ).... and every helpful mamasan/captain 100 baht every time. They make out on me. But I just refuse to support the deception games.

Both have something to offer and the type of customer in each has remained pretty constant.

The main point..... that they both have different things to offer.... I agree with.

But it's so ironic to hear you say that Thai boyfriends are much more comfortable in Sunee.

Every Thai boyfriend I've ever had has been vehemently opposed to even walking into the Sunee area. They wouldn't step foot in that area.... unless I begged and pleaded and moaned about it a *lot*. Then maybe they'd go once, but walk through quickly and not want to go inside anywhere, and want to get out of there as quickly as possible. Then for weeks they'd complain about me making them go to that awful area.

So.... Based on your account..... There must be 2 types of Thai Boy Friends. Those who "feel more comfortable" in Sunee...... and those who wouldn't be caught dead in Sunee.

Same as the farang. Two types. So weird.

Anonone, we know each other.... Tell me what is the attraction to Sunee about for you...? Also.... Does your bf feel more comfortable in Sunee.... or the opposite?

[arsenal]

I like BT and Sunee equally. During the night I will bar hop between those two places perhaps half a dozen times.

[bruce_nyc]

....but then you are from NYC.

You say it like it's a bad thing..... ;;)


I like BT and Sunee equally. During the night I will bar hop between those two places perhaps half a dozen times.

Back and forth a half a dozen times....!? That's a lot of walking....

Two questions..... which seem to make a difference...

Do you live in Thailand..... or visit....?

When you do this hopping between the two, are you alone, with a bf, or meeting friends?

I think the combination of those six possible answers affects greatly what your experience will be like..... and what your expectations will be like too.

By the way, Sunee Plaza has this in common with Jomtien Complex.... many gay expats will meet local friends there.... for a beer in Sunee..... or for drinks and/or a full dinner at Jomtien Complex. Both are more casual, relaxed, low pressure. Whereas Boyztown is a bit crowded with its hawkers... and no great restaurant choices in BT.

When I lived on Jomtien Beach, little informal groups of friends were making dinner plans for one of the many restaurants in Jomtien Complex all the time. The restaurants there range from "can't get cheaper" buffets.... to pretty close to "5 star" experiences ( and prices ).

My impression is that local gay expats in the South Pattaya area often make similar plans to meet friends at Sunee.... but only for drinks.

I so miss the high quality cabaret shows of the Copa. :((

By the way, is Bruno's still open? What about Cafe des Amis (is that the correct name)?

[francois]

[
And as I said, I always give every boy who sits with me 100 baht.... ( not 20 )....


Hope your not insinuating that I only give 20 Baht to a boy who sits with me? 100 Baht would be the minimum and up to 500 Baht depending on the circumstances, plus a drink. Nothing cheap about Francois!

[bruce_nyc]

I wasn't insinuating anything. I was referring to what many people have suggested is the norm at Eros. Bucky suggested to go to the currency exchange and get 3000 worth of 20 baht notes.... for tipping the boys at Eros etc in Sunee.

By the way, I tried that last time I went. I had a very difficult time trying to find a place that would give me that change. They'd only give me about 200 baht worth of 20 baht notes (10). The only place that would give me more than that was the Family Mart at Boyztown.

Anyway, I went equipped with wads of 20s..... I tipped every boy... even the ugliest ones. But there were only a few boys there anyway. Turns out ten 20 baht notes would have been more than enough....

[scottish-guy]

I concur with Francois and Bruce - minimum 100B tip for sitting.

However, if you are in Sunee and wearing a ridiculous blond toupee at the time, then 20B for a grope and suck in front of the entire bar seems to be par for the course

:))

[colmx]

Every Thai boyfriend I've ever had has been vehemently opposed to even walking into the Sunee area. They wouldn't step foot in that area.... unless I begged and pleaded and moaned about it a *lot*.

My BF loves Power Boys - which is on the outskirts of Sunee... He will venture there himself and wait for me

Occasionally he will walk through Sunee with me, with a lot of protests similar to Bruces BF above

But he refuses point blank to go inside on his own, so for instance if i was in a bar inside Sunee and he arrives to meet me, i have the choice of either going outside to fetch him... or coming to power boys when i am finished (and of course picking up his tab there!) - there is no way he will walk alone into the Sunee streets!

[francois]

Scotty, you may not understand living far from the actual scene but those 20 Baht tips add up. There are year round residents of Pattaya who frequent clubs on a daily basis and support the boyz with tips whether 20 Baht or 100 Baht. Giving small tips can easily add up to 200 to 300 Baht or more in an evening. Multiple that by say 300 days out of the year and the total is 60,000 to 90,000 Baht. In addition to that is the money spent on drinks in these clubs.

[pennyboy]

I think I know now the guy who SG is referring to. I don't know how much he tips and I doubt very much that SG knows. I might ask MiniMee when SG was last in Sunee. Anyway anytime I am in Eros and the guy in question come in there is a rush of boys to sit beside him. He must be popular fora reason.

[bruce_nyc]

I've never seen Bucky wearing a ridiculous blond toupee. That sounds hilarious. Anyone have a photo? =P~

Colmx, where exactly is Power Boys? And what is it? A gogo bar? Why does your bf like it so much?

I feel like I've missed so many places..... I live here..... and yet people who visit only a few times a year are often the ones telling me about places I've missed. :-B

[colmx]

Powerboys is on Soi VC, between the 2 sois of Sunee Plaza and next door to Nice boys
It was known as Mic My up to around 2 years ago

Why does BF like it? Because they let him do what he wants there and treat him like royalty... why else!
And also its been such a great hunting ground for both of us over the years.... so many 3somes started out there with a few drinking games!
its always the first and last gogo that we visit on any trip

[bucknaway]

It's rare that I go to a gogo bar for an off. I'm there to be entertaibed, play a little and have a fun time with the guys before I open my app and meet up with a hot guy for free fun sex. But with thailand being the way it is, on the way back to my room, it's easy to meet guys looking for a good time.

So for me the drink price plays into my choices of bars to visit, how many drinks I will buy, if I will buy the staff a drink and how often or how much I will tip.

I'm in thailand for vacation and to make memories.

The gogo bar wants us alll. The want the drinkers to buy drinks. The want the sex seekers to off a sex worker. The want the entertainment seekers to stay, buy a drink and watch the show.

For bar owners the may want the sky to be the limit for drink prices, and some may pay it, but not me. I'll get my fun outside of the overpriced bar.

Even on vacation I refuse to be foolish with my money or anyone else's money. It's just the way I'm wired . O:-)

Same as the farang. Two types. So weird.

Anonone, we know each other.... Tell me what is the attraction to Sunee about for you...? Also.... Does your bf feel more comfortable in Sunee.... or the opposite?

Hmmm. For me, Boyztown feels fake. I have likened it to DisneyLand or something. There isn't anything inherently wrong with that, but it is not at all what I prefer. It all seems very staged, crafted, and put-on. Feels like a circus, complete with wandering tour groups walking through to gawk at the "freaks".

I find the Thais that work in Sunee are much more genuine, more ready to just have fun and not after money so much. (I realize I am making a lot of generalizations here. Partly due to a cadre of "friends" that I have made over the years that fit into a fun group, so we have an easy-going routine). BF absolutely feels more comfortable in Sunee. He will visit BT on occasion...used to be to see the Copa show, but hardly ever for gogo or beer bars. Staying at a hotel in BT is strictly out of the question. He feels quite "on display" and everybody watching all the time to know our business.

As to the attraction to Sunee, I really enjoy some sleaze and Sunee is better for that, hands down. The usual routine is to start our evening at Ducs Bar with a bottle of whiskey, for us and to share with the staff and freelancers that have become part of our circle. Starts off mellow with chatting / flirting / joking / eating. Just friends hanging out. I also have several Falang friends that join from time to time. At some point, I will "go for a walk" which everyone knows to mean "I am going to some gogo bars to play with cock". BF usually stays at Ducs, but sometimes comes along. Sometimes a Thai friend or two will ask to come along to check out the cocks as well. If alone, I will make the rounds to hit Eros & Nice Boys every time. I will occasionally drop into Good Boys when I am feeling particularly cock-enthralled. Less often, I will pop into Power Boys to see if there are any new staff there (usually have nice twinks on display...though not really a hands-on place). After jerking a fair share of guys, I will end up back at Ducs for more whiskey, listen to some Isan music and get the boys to dance, and then head out to Tam Nam Isan about 1 or 2AM. That is my attraction to Sunee...just about a perfect evening.

At the risk of further generalizations, I almost think this is a "hi-so" versus "have fun" type of discussion. I get the impression that a lot of the BT staff try to be "hi-so" and act as though they are "better" or "above" other people. Seems that the more a Thai guy opposes or goes into drama about something, it perhaps has hit a bit too close to home. I think they dost protest too much.

I never get that sense from the guys in Sunee. They are far more accepting and worry much less about appearances, but love to have a good time. Now, I will admit that for an "outsider", perhaps this isn't entirely accurate. I have made very good friends with a large circle of Sunee staff and perhaps they are different with me then others. For example, multiple times last trip we ended up at a boy's room for an afternoon party. They supplied the whiskey and such, I brought a large selection of food. Group of 6-8 of us just hanging out and having fun. I can't imagine that happening with staff in BT...but perhaps I am misjudging?

[bruce_nyc]

Ohhhyeahhh. Mic My. I went inside only one time.... years ago. I heard so many negative things about it that I've stayed away ever since. Do others here like Mic My / Power Boys?

Ahhh, I now see we're posting at the same time, Anonone.

I remember sitting with you at Le Cafe Royale and your bf wouldn't come out of the room ( at Ambiance ). :)

Yes. Everything you've said makes sense. I do sense that some Thai boyfriends ( including all I've had ) desperately want to be *seen* as hi so. They're desperate for status and status symbols. Meanwhile, the ones in Sunee don't care about that. They're more "real" ( at least with respect to that issue ) and more down to earth.

On the other hand, as for the staff in BT.... I've never ever experienced any snobbery or rudeness. ( but maybe that's because I'm always seen as the customer. I don't know how they treat other boys... boys from Sunnee, for example )

One thing's for sure..... For thai boys, they are two different worlds. They're so separate from each other, they may as well be different planets. For us, "customers", we can pop back and forth.... but the boys don't !

[anonone]

Yes, I remember that day as well. Our first and last time at a BT hotel. BF will not go back there after that trip.

When I do occasionally visit BT on my own, I agree...no rudeness or snobbery. The chaps I have spoken with have all seemed fine, but also seemed more "business" focused. Just my impressions.

As for Mike My, it certainly had a (deservedly) wicked reputation. The new bar in the same space, Power Boys, has no similar atmosphere. Power Boys is a well run, clean bar with some very nice twinks in attendance. No need to stay away from it.

I know a couple of guys that spend time in both BT and Sunee, in particular a free lancer who is sometimes looked askance upon in Sunee for being too uppity...to continue my theme. I really hadn't given the Sunee/BT thing a lot of thought, but it does seem to be an accurate description. I would be interested in what some other long-time Pattaya visitors think. I know for some, the expense of BT over Sunee is important, but it just isn't a consideration for me.

bruce_ I will be back in Pattaya just after New Years for a week if you happen to make it back down. Would be great to meet you (in Sunee :D ) for a drink. 555

[arsenal]

Bruce: I have a motorbike so there's no walking involved.

A 20 Baht tip is fine for a quick feel. If the boy sits with you it's 100 unless you get up to something and then 200 is reasonable. As for the 20 Baht toupee wearing (LMTU used to call him Raccoon Head). Everyone knows who he is. A former bar owner described him as " Sunees biggest balloon chaser" meaning he would always attend the free parties. It must be very hot wearing that.

[bruce_nyc]

"Balloon Chaser" ? That's a new one on me.....

( for the record, I have no idea whatsoever who you're talking about.... is his name sacred.... or a secret? Is he the..... errr. Is there some law against the mention of his name? :-$ )

[cdnmatt]

"Balloon Chaser" is mostly the retired farangs on a tight budget who stalk out bars having a party with free (or very cheap) food buffets. They sit there and fill their faces, but don't actually contribute anything to the bar or party.

[bruce_nyc]

It seems to me that if you plan "a party with free (or very cheap) food buffets" .....then that's exactly what you are trying to attract ....the very hungry, and the very cheap.

Besides.... What exactly would you have them "contribute" to the party....? Probably it's best that they don't even try to.

You can't fault the ants for showing up when you spill sugar and don't clean it up.

[bucknaway]

When an establishment has a special night with free or cheap food and drinks, they tend to decorate with balloons. There are a certain set of people who seem to seek out those events hoping to cash in on the free offerings. Those folk are known as balloon chasers.

For some reason I never trust free food.

[dinagam]

Free Suisse gruyere with Italian red wine are not bad at all. Now where is Suzie Size?

[bruce_nyc]

Why am I envisioning lone elderly men on walkers.... with coke bottle bottom thick glasses... roaming around like zombies... and the only thing their eyes can make out are the large colorful balloons.... so they walk ever so slowly in the direction of the balloons....

:-o

[francois]

Most of the parties with the balloons are thrown by management for special occasions for their staff such as a birthday. So they are not trying to attract customers, per se. Usually there is very loud music which drives many customers away even from nearby bars.

As for what some of the above posters are saying, it is pure bullshit. Try acting like men and not some silly teenage girls gossiping.

[bruce_nyc]

Back to the original topic.....

What about Funny Boys....

Doesn't anyone like Funny Boys.....?

Or A-Bomb.....?

Good idea, but either post about Toy Boys or start a separate topic on other favorite bars.

Do we need a separate thread for each *boy* at each bar...?

Do others here like Mic My / Power Boys?
Absolutely! I go to Power Boys and/or Nice Boys every time I am in Pattaya (on average every two months). Can't say which I like more. Other bars have to wait, once per year or even longer. I take notes and try to visit all gogo bars in Boyztown and Sunee in the course of a year (if there is something worth visiting, every time I poked my head in to Wild West Boys this year, there were only few boys on stage, some even in trousers, not worth spending 250 Baht on a drink).

I wish I never opened this thread about Toy Boys! Power Boys and Nice Boys are in Sunee, what is so hard to understand about that?

Ok. I'm definitely going to have to make it to Power Boys and Nice Boys on my next trip to Pattaya.
