Pattaya as an entertainment resort is finished. This latest lockdown will make sure of that.

Having arrived in Pattaya less than 24 hours previously this shutdown this was naturally disheartening.

This afternoon I walked down Pattaya South Road past Walking Street then along Beach Road. After a bit I decided to return via a favourite restaurant near Boyztown which I was amazed to find open. So I decided to eat and drink there! Fortunately they said they are open tomorrow onwards.

After that at about 8 pm I walked through BT and this is what I saw ..pic below. It’s taken from Panorama and Castro is on the right and Ambiance is on the left. Maybe MFAS has got his wish already! Not exactly the pic I promised to send Arsenal a few weeks ago as I walked through BT!!

Along Pattaya Tai I did see a few places were open so decided for old times sake to take a walk through Sunne Plaza. Was somewhat surprised to see the Green Chairs had been open and was closing up (it was about 8.30) and as I walked past there I saw a lot of activity outside Winner Bar.

As I got closer I could see about 6 farangs outside and about 10 boys also sitting outside. Great I thought.

As they all ignored my question as to whether it was open (boys included) I could see I was certainly not welcome for some reason. As I walked off someone with an American accent said they were using up some food brought in for the cancelled New Year. Thank you for the explanation....

My favourite Hamburger Lady near Sunne was open so I enjoyed a burger and beer there.

Welcome to Pattaya.

Nil desperandum.

The premises will still be there when the customers return to Thailand. And the working guys (and girls) will still need the dosh to support Mama and Papa , whether it be in Isaan , Vientianne or Siam Reap.

After all, it's not as if Thailand is alone in taking this hit. Entertainment everywhere is struggling and when the good times roll, lots of punters will have money in their pockets.

It may well be that flights will be fewer, more expensive and more crowded. But I'll start worrying about that later.

Gerefan2, your trip was always going to be a gamble as we all know how unpredictable this virus is and things change very quickly.

Still it's sad things haven't worked out for you.

I hope you can salvage something, even if it's just enjoying the food.

Don't forget the apps. The guys still need an income and should be very eager to please.

Best of luck!

Actually I, and I believe goji, both came here to avoid the UK winter and everything that goes with it. I assume you’re here for the culture and the cynicism?

As far as I’m concerned, i’m not missing the UK weather or anything else there. As AK47 says there are still the apps!!

Sorry to hear the start of your trip has developed as it has Gerefan2 BUT as you rightly point out the bars being opened or closed isn't the be all and end all of everything and I too would STILL say your trip was worthwhile. I totally agree with you that I too would much rather find myself IN Thailand, with warm weather, cute guys around every corner still if you bother to look ( I presume) - and ones who are maybe more keen than EVER to meet up AND you've got the beach and generally relaxing and enjoying NOT being in the UK and our lockdown by any other name.

So whether the bars are closed or not I STILL think you made the right decision and I've no doubt you'll still more than enjoy your time there - and in fact perhaps without the hangovers and late nights in clubs maybe even MORE SO than you might even expect ! I certainly hope so anyway.

But do please though keep posting pics, no matter how bad they might make the place look, warts and all, as it is great that you're there to give us a true picture of things - and just assuming that we do remember then that no matter how bad things might "look" we've no doubt it's it's still fun for you - no matter what old tired and jaded MFAS seems to think now about being anywhere in Thailand it seems .......

Agree completely! It's good to feel oneself in your or Goji's shoes.

Although, from the sex point of view, should such a thing be of interest, I would still wonder, given our probable ages, whether I would indulge and if so so what precautions I might take! Of course a mask can be a turn on for some people, and the face in the pillow, or pillow biter(see Jeremy Thorpe), can be a turn on for others. Of course kissing is not a safe activity, but how about cock sucking?! Is precum, if it appears, capable of providing covid transmission to me or him?

As I go through the alternatives I do think that, if I was there, I might just have to settle for a masked massage and a masked hand job. Although with such handsome and horny guys readily available, it would require an element of self control and willpower that I fear I don't possess for guys.

!!! I have to confess that THAT side of things never even crossed my mind and I was concentrating on transmission all being a one way risk ( us to them) but of COURSE the alternative risk is also something now that one would probably be wise to think about as well :( And I have to say IF they outcome of that decision was to not avail of the locals services I think I might have to downgrade my better there than here to an "only just" better as being there and deciding NOT to shag the locals could in fact turn out to several weeks of HELL perhaps ! :-) But hey at least you've still got the nice weather and the beach .......he said always trying to look on the bright side of things...

Gerefan2 /Goji, I'm genuinely sorry to hear how things have turned out regarding the lockdown in Pattaya,but as others have pointed out here you still have the APPS and the good weather, so those are a huge plus in themselves compared to staying at home. Who knows you might meet the boy of your dreams and stay together for the duration of your trip. Lets face it, for many of us you guys still have the main draw card "at your disposal" i.e. the boys! Enjoy.

Why are some acting so doom and gloom here, as if this is permanently the end, or something?

Pro tip -- Prostition isn't going away. It's the oldest professional on the planet, and if anything, it's going to pick up massively once this whole KoVid thing finishes up. There's going to be a lot of disruption and unemployment around, so finding people willing to take their pants off won't be exactly difficult in the future.

"Pattaya has faced many crises in the past. She has been rubbished by international travel magazines as the worst destination in Asia, haunted by the international press as a paradise for criminals, threatened with extinction by the AIDS crisis and denounced for its pollution and wastefulness. Pattaya survived all these stereotypical assaults because she is forever changing and evolving to capture new markets. The city which arises from the Covid-19 pandemic will be different again. But arise she surely will."

Come on, mfas - admit it. Your Schadenfreude at gerefan2's predicament was uncalled for.

Here in Western Australia life goes on as normal- no lockdown. Also the daily temperature is above 40 degrees. So I completely forgot about the fact that people in the UK are dealing with winter weather and a very strict lock own.

Given that situation you and goji (did he make it?) are most probably better off in Thailand, bars or no bars.

You could do worse that find yourselves sitting under a tree at the beach, beer in one hand and gorgeous guy from the apps in the other.

I'd be there too, if only Australia would open is borders.

Gerefan2 & Goji,

I've always believed that hidden behind every disappointment in life - is an opportunity just waiting to be found.

I know if I was in your shoes I would be pleased as hell just to miss a Chicago Winter, and, regardless of the bar closures in Pattaya, there are certainly a host of other opportunities to stretch ones legs (or someone's legs) and have a great time.

Just because the bars are closed doesn't meant the "boys" are gone. Even if you're not fans of the cruising apps, you could very well hookup with your "dream boy" just by giving it a try. As long as Dongtan Beach is still open, there's always the chance of meeting someone special who's doing the same thing you are - looking to hookup. Granted, you're not going to see as many boys, but all it takes is one to turn things around.

Good luck to both of you. You're in a better place now than you were before - and once you get a naked brown boy bouncing in your beds (if you haven't already) the last thing on your minds will be memories of home..

Enjoy to the max.

Welcome to Pattaya.

So that was you gerefan! The club was closed for business, just a private party primarily for the staff to give them a farewell going away as a result of the new lockdown. A couple of the farang were not English speakers which is why one American responded to your inquiry. I believe everyone was expecting the owner to reply to you but, as he is also not an English speaker, he may not have understood fully.

As for the Hamburger Lady, that is the first time I have seen her open in some time so you did luck out in that respect.

Why do they keep announcing lockdowns prematurely like this? Have we not learned?

Again, for a prime example look what happened when Boris Johnson announced teir 4 lockdowns in London. Everyone crowded on the trains to get out of London. Same thing happened here in Canada when BC decided to close itself off to the rest of the country for a little while, although not on a large scale.

If you're going to lock an area down, then just do it without notice. Those deserving of exemptions can get them.

One question though that I have often wondered about -- why was there never a 'gay section' on Beach Road? We never seemed to have gay street cruising in Pattaya. Nothing like the old Robinson's corner in Bangkok or at Sanam Luang or at Muscle Corner in Suan Lumphini. That kind of street cruising never developed in Pattaya, or did I miss something? ;) Yes, there was always the Big Buddha Hill (mostly non-commercial)cruising in Pratumnak but it took place long after my beddie-bye time. : )

How about the area in front and around Mosaik? Or that main street just down from it where all the food / market stalls are / were?

I don't know, but I'd often end up back at Mosaik with guys I picked up on the street. There would be times I was just walking back from Family Mart for example, putting my key in to unlcok the door to Mosaik only to hear, "hey! you want me!". I turn around and see this cute, smiling Thai guy looking at me. Shrug my shoulders motion for him to come in, and 15 minutes later he's sitting on my lap, freshly showered, wearing nothing but a towel.

It's Pattaya... it's pretty much the entire place a cruising area?

First hand? An intentional slip of the tongue there eh freq....Stevie!
Tongues do slip during sucking someone off so the slip of the tongue was a tribute to the wonderful post by arsenal on oral sex, and therefore entirely intentional.

I'm confused. It's Pattaya...

How about the area in front and around Mosaik? Or that main street just down from it where all the food / market stalls are / were?

I don't know, but I'd often end up back at Mosaik with guys I picked up on the street. There would be times I was just walking back from Family Mart for example, putting my key in to unlcok the door to Mosaik only to hear, "hey! you want me!". I turn around and see this cute, smiling Thai guy looking at me. Shrug my shoulders motion for him to come in, and 15 minutes later he's sitting on my lap, freshly showered, wearing nothing but a towel.

It's Pattaya... it's pretty much the entire place a cruising area?
You can find available boys anywhere in Pattaya, on their way to/from errands or out with friends or eating. But for crusing, i.e. going to a specific place just for purpose of sex (free or for money), there are/were just Jomtien/Dongtan beach, Pratamnak hill and the area of Beach Road near Boystown.

What has your first hand experience with each of them been in the past week or so?

Well the Filipino seemed to think his services were worth twice as much as the others. Sex is not a Veblen good and I've also never seen any hint of positive correlation between price paid and quality of service. I suspect negative correlation.
All very odd, as in The Philippines, lads show up and provide great service with very modest tips.
As you may guess, we did not meet.

The Thais, Khmers and Laos guys have all been rather good so far. My favourite Laos guy is unfortunately not one of the ones who has crossed the river and he remains at home. There are plenty of others to keep one entertained.
Some get younger every year, due to the use of some fancy phone apps. Thankfully I've recognised them so far and have not been duped.
Although, perhaps I could just bribe one to use this know how and sort out my profile pics.
