Eros gone

[a447]

I just saw it on gaybutton. Eros has finally closed.

That’s most probably the end of Sunee. Surely it can’t carry on.

Unbelievable.

[arsenal]

Eros has opened and closed for years. It's demise, if it is such has no bearing on the other go go bars in Sunee. There's still 3 others plus the new Goodboys.

[Oliver2]

I took a walk around the area in early June and it was almost deserted. It doesn't mean that the go go bars weren't doing well of course. To be fair, Boyztown was just the same until the straight party-goers arrived at LCR after midnight.

My question is this; can individual, even isolated, gay bars survive in the New Improved (sic) Pattaya? I suppose that a bar with a loyal following such as Nice may still be able to attract punters but I recall what happened when the hugely-popular Throb became Birdcage (was that the name?) in Day/Night; punters weren't prepared to travel.

Something indefinable is lost when a soi becomes mixed- the sense of being in "our" area when lifetimes are spent in other peoples'. It's too early to say whether the relocated gay venues of Silom/Surawong survive in a stridently straight environment but it may be that the days of gay areas are over. Amsterdam, Manchester's Canal Street, Soho have all lost their identity in the last decade. More widespread acceptance of our sexuality has perhaps made them out-dated.

I regret it. Soi Twilight, Sunee and Boyztown afforded us the opportunity to sit with boyfriends or just friends and watch the street the gay world saunter by. I regret its passing....if indeed it is over.

Yesterday was fairly busy in Sunee later at night. Quite a few farang were to be seen in the bars and the streets.

The new Goodboys is rarely open.

Awful news that Eros closed. Truely the end of an era and I suspect as a447 we are seeing the end of Sunee now. Eros was an institution in Sunee. New bars like Enjoy music and Dragon 789 looks to have failed and not even open daily.

The new smaller version (Dragon 789) of Goodboys is finished.

[a447]

Of course, there’s always the possibility that Eros and Goodboys are just waiting for the high season.
But that appears to be quite short these days, so who knows?

I live in hope.

No Eros is closed and it looks like they have already taken out everything that can be sold.

[Old git]

The LGBT lobby is becoming a victim of its own success. When it was fighting for an oppressed minority, it's participants had common cause, made the effort to congregate in the same places, and in the early days even developed a covert language, Polari.

It is far more acceptable now to be openly gay in venues that are not sexuality specific, with the result that gay bars, and gay hotels in particular, no longer have a monopoly on the pink pound, dollar or baht.

All to the good in one respect, but there will be plenty of nostalgia amongst those who forget the homophobia of old.

Going forward, the solution is to re-think the model. Replace grimy bars with brain numbing muzak and disinterested greedy boys with clean elegant classy establishments where the boys are made to feel like professionals, encouraged to learn the techniques of both erotic dancing and servicing their customers as an art form to be perfected..

[arsenal]

The majority of boys already service their customers very very well.

What you're talking about is available in Japan but if you want classy and elegant bars you're going to lose the fun.

And to those who swapped their licences to party for a civil partnership, a couple of IVFd surrogated sprogs and the weird notion of both saying 'my husband'.

Very sad news indeed. Does this mean you'll have to look for a new venue for your (ahem) live performances?

I'm just hoping that if it IS closed that they'll have at least burnt the cushions as I'm sure that A447 wouldn't want to cum across one of THOSE again on his travels ! :)

Lol

Probably too soon to burn them anyway - they need time to dry out.

And what about those sofas? Are they planning on putting them up for sale? Eeeeew!!

Or worse still, will they reappear in some other bar?

Since finding my regular guy (in Eros, btw) I haven't spent much time there for years, apart from a few quick visits to see my favorites there. Unfortunately, they had mostly moved on and the new guys were not my type.

Still, it's sad to see them lose their jobs. Maybe some can look for openings, so to speak, in Nice Boys.

When I went two weeks ago, it was business as usual in Eros (I went in) and 789 Dragon (I walked past). Sorry to hear of Eros' demise, even though it doesn't directly affect me (it's not among those bars I visit every time I'm in Pattaya), I hope it will open again.

But I'm not looking for "clean elegant classy", I'm looking for sleaze!
I'm not looking for dancer (I would go to a ballet if I were), I'm looking for prostitutes!

"boys are made to feel like professionals" well look into Moonlight and Jupiter in Bangkok, who think they are models, with according prices and attitude (no personal experience, from reading others' reports).

Oh perleez, knee pads are for amateurs. We're talking about a447 here. He can drop to his knees on a carpet of nails for that mouthful of cock.

A realistic proposition would the for Bir to move Nice Boys to the Eros location. She knows how to get plenty of boys together with plenty of customers. Despite MFAS current grumpy mood she's provided him and I with considerable amounts of entertainment over the years.

And MFAS. Even in low season there's always new straight boys showing up in BT and Jomtien..Go take a look. Motorbike parking is easy and a drink can be had for 80 baht.

[Dimsumbear]

I read it somewhere comparing gogo bars/sunee to the Internet cafe phenomenon. I still remember spending an hour or two in the Internet cafe was crucial throughout my trip before, and now an iPhone will do the job right if not better. However, in Tokyo, Seoul or Hong Kong, I start to notice a come back of Internet cafe. It transforms itself to a venue to play those online treasure hunt games in groups or even professionally in tournaments internationally. I guess if the gogo bars can do the same maybe they will be around much longer. No Grindr or Jackd can replace the fun of going to place where group of sexy boys are on display (preferably as much flesh as possible and not in jeans)

Instrumental? Very nice. Too bad Eros is not around but at least I have Nice Boys to look forward to. For a private session upstairs tipping to boys is enough? The venue won’t charge me an off fee or fee to use their booth upstairs right?

They might charge 300~400 baht to use the room. The rooms are not free.

At some bars you have to pay the off fee if the guy cums in the bar.

If you like slim athletic straight boys and their all fresh to you then Nice Boys alone will likely provide enough offs to keep you happy and exhausted. As a Pattaya go go boy quality control expert I can report Nice Boys has a 98 per cent success rating. The highest in town.

JB? I guess you talk about Jomtien Complex.

Jomtien Complex has nice vibe with its many open fronted beer bars. So it's certainly a great place to stay there. For offing boys, however, you would probably have to travel to Boys Town and/or Sunee Plaza. Which isn't a bad thing actually, as it costs you just 10 minutes and 10 Baht for the taxi ride.

J.C. was almost nothing 10 years ago it has become Pattaya’s hub of gay activity but does not have any gogo bars
Mosaic is easy walking distance to BT If you wish to visit the remaining gogo bars there ( BT too is vastly scaled down from what it was 10 years ago) Sunee has Niceboys, Winner, and Power Boys.

I remember when Eros claimed to have a “room” available. It turned out to be behind the partition on the right where you normally turned left for the toilets.

I was topping a boy there once when a flash went off. Looking around I saw a fat farang with a digital camera in his hand and a big smile on his face.

That was back in the days when cameras took photos and mobiles just made calls. These days I would have asked him to email me a copy.

In recent years I haven’t been a regular but I would pop in occasionally to plump up the cushions.

Re: Your post on GB with the picture of the very handsome boy. There are many boys in Pattaya of equal good looks and you won't need to pay 4000 baht. 1500 maximum. Pattaya is still cheap and sleazy for sex but now also offers some seriously classy and expensive places to eat or have a drink.

I remember when Eros claimed to have a “room” available. It turned out to be behind the partition on the right where you normally turned left for the toilets.

Although I haven't seen it used for some time, there was at least one more "private" room. As you entered Eros, it was accessed at the back left hand corner - thankfully rather further away from that notoriously smelly toilet on the opposite side of the bar.

Yep, used that as well but it seemed to go out of use before the sofa behind the partition near that smelly toilet. I've got some photos of myself in the bar (no I'm NOT posting them) which bring back happy memories before I rather went off the place in recent years.

In 2013, I used to stay in Jomtien Complex (because I came by airport bus and could walk), but do most of my bar business in Sunee and Boystown. One night, around 2 am, I was coming from Sunee and was standing in a drizzle on second road waiting for a songtheo to Jomtien. After that, I changed to staying near Sunee. When I made my pick for the night, I don't want to spend 10 minutes on a songtheo with the chosen.

[Dimsumbear]

One night, around 2 am...Imade my pick for the night, I don't want to spend 10 minutes on a songtheo with the chosen.

This is precisely my worse nightmare. The desperation of fighting off the blue pill while waiting frantically with 2 coins in my hand is still vivid even after 10 years (!)

I am also looking into Mosaik Luxury Apartment but many hint the word "Luxury" is more a noun than adjective now. The color coat of Zing Resort seems brighter, and the pool is welcoming. I do apologize for posting a GB question here but anything similar near Sunee with or without the pool? Same-same guest friendly without breaking my piggy bank?

[Daveuk]

During my last few trips to Pattaya I stayed at the Zing, but I offed boys from Sunee (Winner mostly cos I like twinks). Transport to the Complex was done by motor bike taxi. From leaving the bar to being in bed with them was maybe 15,minutes. I however concede that this would not be for everyone.
