Thanks, but it's very hard to read.

[paborn]

I have no idea what I did wrong but I'm looking into it.

I hope this is much easier to read

Thank you kindly. This is much easier to read.

Your moer than welcome, I hope it's correct!

I also feel this link is interesting, a video of the complex during the day, there is no talking, no annoying banter, but it gives a nive view of the complex for those contemplating a first time visit.

Yes, good video indeed.

And to think that some people are suggesting that Pattaya is dying as a gay destination.

Still plenty of places remaining by the looks of things! At least 20, side by side.

It's too early to give up on the old girl just yet!

BTW, I'm in Mandalay, Myanmar, at the moment. What I wouldn't give for just one of those bars!

Plus you also have the massage places and recently both Royal House and X-Boys morph into karaoke places late in the evening. a447 is right. Even with its undeniable decline Pattaya still resides in the premier league of gay destinations. A league of one.

Thanks for that, Paborn, it really shows how the Jomtien Complex has grown.

I noticed a couple of omissions from the map at the west end of the gay metropolis, around Dick's Cafe, which I'll mention for the sake of completeness.

To the left you have both the Festival Bar and The Palace (Tommy's Boy Bar).

To the right you have Tipayaporn Massage

The map may need further adjustment in the near future as a new Bar/Guest House is soon to open between the Venue and @Home Bar, on the former New Life Bar site. (Apologies for the image orientation)

I think some people are referring to the decline in bars, in Sunee Plaza when they mention "Pattaya is dying?"

To be honest if you walk through Sunee Plaza, there are bars that are closed, and no sign of reopening?

Perhaps - but quality versus quantity has to come into the equation too I guess as to me 5 or 10 small bars in a row, all the same average 3m or 4m wide frontage, with tables outside and all offering nothing different really could just be the equivalent of one or two bars perhaps. A little bit of something different every now and then would be nice perhaps. But still as you say compared to other places it's still better than there so yes still life there yet - lets just hope it stays that way for a while longer eh.

[paborn]

Thanks so much! I was wondering what Dick's Pattaya looked like. Massage right next door!

Wonder if we will ever see the return of the gogo boy bars the way they used to be in their heyday...soi twilight in BKK is a shadow of itself and whilst I have enjoyed many an evening in jomtien the bars are all like beer bars with gay/male hosts...all same same...rather tame.

So true. Going into one of those bars is just like being in all. They all look the same to me and no different to each other. But at least they are busy.
