The eve of New Year’s Eve Pattaya

[gerefan2]

Out to dinner with a mate and then to Boyztown. First stop Cupidol, no chance not even standing room.

Managed to get 2 seats in Toyboys but it was packed. Stayed for the usual free drink then left.

Tried Cupidol again..no chance even more packed.

Mate went home so I thought I’d have a look around.

A Bomb...not a soul...didn’t stop.

Next I tried X Boys...few punters but nowt special.

Next Dreamboys...same same..

OK try Cupidol again...still Full

Bollocks Sunny has to be better.

Nice Boys...no beer Singh. That’s me out of there.

I don’t do Power Boys or Eros...so

Winner Boys...totally empty...no boys, no customers... but it was 1150.

OK a few beers at an outdoor bar in Sunee.

Who said Boyztown was dying?

I was at Cupidol last night about 9:30 pm and no problem with finding a seat.
There was a birthday party for the farang owner that evening so it was busy and lots of boyz on the stage.

" ... Winner Boys...totally empty...no boys, no customers... but it was 1150... "
Seeing as how Winner Boys was forlorn, thought you might like to know what happened in other parts of the world in 1150 AD. Certainly much more interesting than a blacked out GoGo bar.

I avoid Christmas / New Year (and Songcran) when timing my trips so this report reinforces my decision. Winner deserted ? Maybe all the boys had been offed ?. It was always busy when I was in Pats 3 weeks ago.

A beetle is a car....you know!

I was in Winnerboys and it was very crowded. Returned several times and very busy including a few minutes before midnight so can not understand Gerefans comment.

Perhaps the girls were in the powder room checking their makeup?

Returned several times and very busy including a few minutes before midnight so can not understand Gerefans comment.gerefan (who is not a pedant you understand; it's a behaviour in others he affects to despise) was referring to Smiles' reference to the Mersey Ferry and "ask a Beetle". As gerefan implies, the Merseyside band was known as the Beatles, whereas a Beetle is the slang name for a Volkswagen car of the same era

[gerefan2]

No, no, no you’ve got it all wrong again as usual freeky.

Wolzek, this thread is about the day before New Years Eve...hence my comments about the empty bar.
