I am staying in Pattaya for 2 months and wonder if there are any members of this group meeting for coffee etc in the afternoon/evening. It would be nice to meet new people just for chatting and get to know some of the members of this forum.

Why don't we just plan a "Sawatdee Reunion" for the end of February for anyone who wants to attend?


We did this years ago and met up at the old Memories Bar/Sunee and had a great time.

Just a thought!

Great idea, Dodger! But may be this time relocate from the almost-dead Sunee to vibrant Jomtien? )

No. Better to keep the tradition alive from Memories bar and meet in Sunee. I suggest Forest House bar. That way we can do our laundry at the same time.

Andy

I haven't seen the glory days of Sunее, so this place doesn't mean anything to me. And I'm afraid, given the current situation, it will be quite boring there. Well, at least we can talk in silence ) I would still prefer the Jomtien Сomplex, although if the majority is for Sunее, of course I will come there. How about Saturday, February 25th?

Dodger
February 15th, 2023, 13:10
Saturday Feb 25 works for me.

You guys just pick a bar - any bar - any place - Jomtien Complex seems better though.

Jomtien has the action but lots of noise also although there are some quieter areas in the Complex for a get together. Sunee is much quieter such as Diamond Bar or Winner Bar outside.

Andy
February 24th, 2023, 16:52
With all due respect... will we have our "sit down" tomorrow? 8)

February 24th, 2023, 21:35
Having just left Jomtien and back in BKK: there are a few lower-scale, much quieter and also with fewer guys bars around the corner, and 1 of these is named SUNEE. So even if I will not be there: would that not be the best of 2 worlds then? But is also looks into that Venue+show from 22.00=when the noise starts. Even more quiet a few in that soi where the HTLs are along. But of course its all up to you, just a suggestion
btw-even when there I stuck to Lao guys and had great meets with them.

How to spot eachother in the vibrant ladyboy Mecca of Supertown? If we all wear makeup and glittery dresses we just blend in?

I always wear my gay flag bracelet on my right hand - I haven't seen any similar ones in JC or BT. My favorite hangout bar is Divarium, which is right in the center of the main soi of JC (Supertown). Boy Gaga on the side soi is also a good place to relax - they have nice music and smiley boys. Perhaps we could use some secret greeting words, for example: "Are you a friend of Dorothy's?" ;-)

There was at least one other get-together that hasn’t been mentioned so far. Maybe 15 or 20 years ago or maybe even before that. About 10 members met up at Cafe Royale, though the only one I can definitely recall was the late, lamented stalwart of this board “David in Pattaya”.

Wolzek

Maybe it hasn't been mentioned due to the OP was asking for someone to meet up with him. In present time. He wasn't asking for a history lesson about meetings 20 years ago.

I tried to attend a meeting in Sunee years ago. I found the right place but just got bewildered looks when I enquired. I forget the organisers nick name but it sounded strange when I asked people. Turned out I was a day early but I’d missed it by the time I found out.

Do try to read threads with a little more care. Regardless of the OP’s intention, I was merely following up on a post from Dodger on page 1 that did refer back to an earlier meeting. Our friend Chuai-Duai clearly enjoys the occasional reminiscence too.

Yep, I'm allowed back in Thailand sometime end of March -- can't remember exact day, so just go with Apr 1.

April 20th is the plan at least, although open to change. Should be 3 Asians and two white guys. Everyone has been working very hard and we're all exhausted with life, so we're just going to rent a house in Pattaya for a month with a nice swimming pool and blow off some steam.

Should be fun! After that, we'll get back to normal life.

So many here have doubted you, your stories and your blindness. So this grand Sawatdee meeting will be your chance to prove them wrong. Latintop will bring a licensed optician to certify your blindness.

I can't tell you how little I give a fuck about what other people think of me.

Well, except those close to me and whom I love. They're fine though and I ensure of that every single day. Everyone else can fuck off though if they don't like me. Those people can be gone, haha....

Self identify as blind?

Wow, that's pretty low dude, even for you. You're one of those people where if we lived in a just society, immediately after you popped out of your mother's vagina, the doctor should have screwed your head off and the staff would have begun playing hacky sack with it around the delivery room. Unfortunately, they allowed you to stay alive, so now the rest of us have to suffer your inane, ignorant, totally non-sensical bullshit.

Self identify as blind? My optic nerves are dead, as in... my optic nerves are dead, you dumb fuck. While writing this, I'm not even looking at the computer screen, because well, I can't. I'm sitting here with a wireless keyboard and set of headphones while listening to screen reader.

If you had more intelligence than your average hamster, you would know that being blind isn't a fucken belief system, you dumb muppet.

Why don't you do the world a favor, goto Moscow and start protesting the war in Ukraine in front of the Kremlin? Then none of us would have to listen to your stupid bullshit anymore.

Sorry, I'm actually a really relaxed, laid back kind of guy. Also an excellent cook.

Except for that point. You have no idea how difficult it is to go blind, and how proud of myself I am for what I've achieved and accomplished in the dark like this. As far as I'm concerned, folks like latin can fuck right off with ignorant and close minded remarks like that.

That, and before I head to Asia I need to mark one item off my bucket list, which is to do an open mic night at a stand up comedy club somewhere in Vancouver. The above post is just kind of an example of how I'd deal with a heckler in the crowd, type of thing. Nothing to be taken seriously.

Screen reader. It speaks latin's version as "fi-col-ogist".

Upon thinking it was off, I copied and pasted it then went through it character by character.

EDIT; Sorry, to clarify, the Orca screen reader on Linux at least doesn't go off a dictionary or anything. Instead, it's been developed to read English phonetically. It literally just reads whatever it sees.

See, here's an example of the problem I have with you. If you were a real man, you'd just own up, apologize, I'd accept, and we'd both move on.

Instead, you choose to continue acting like an immature imbicile, so.... treat people how you want to be treated. You're a grown man, not a 3 year old kid who needs to be taught how to behave properly.

You do realize that you poking fun at blind people in that manner doesn't hurt my feelings at all, but does make you look like a total fucken childish moron, right?

You do realize the more you talk, the more you're hurting yourself, right?

You're probably too stupid to even realize how intellectually empty you sound. If I were you, I'd just stop talking.

You're one of those few special people in life where the more you talk, the more dumb you sound. Just stop talking, it would be beneficial for you.

so you are happy to have someone call you "an immature imbicile" (hopefully they will spell it correctly) or "a 3 year old kid who needs to be taught how to behave" or "too stupid to even realize how intellectually empty you sound" when you post something they don't like the tone of?

if someone is being an abusive dickhead and your response is to be an abusive dickhead in return what high horse do you get on to justify you are any different to them?

Please let me know if by chance you plan another meet and I will try like hell to make it.

I will be in Jomtien immigration tomorrow morning - but must return to Bang Saray to drive one of the co-owners in my building to a hospital in Sattahip. I committed to this before knowing our meeting date...ugh!

In that case, pretty sure according to the doctrine of SGT it's now time for everyone to gather around, and start bitching and moaning to high heaven that Dodger is just a liar, doesn't actually exist, doesn't live in Thailand, and is just a figment of his own imagination.

How about meeting up next Wednesday (6th) at Divarium in Jomtien Complex at 8:00 PM???

I know that Keith mentioned he'd be in town on the 6th, and Andy seems to prefer Divarium.

If this doesn't work for someone we can always change it - but at least it's another start.

Well unlike the weirdos who promised to come but didn't, I went to the announced meeting and had a marvellous night with the elite from here! Oh the champagne was flowing, boys running around halfnaked to please the desires of us boardmembers who had shown up and treated us like royalty. Great memories were made that evening that will last a lifetime. It was even better than the last meeting in Memories music bar in Sunee.
Now we know who the true heroes of this board are and who keep their word to attend when promised. The next meeting will be in Bamboos bar as I understand it.

I waited too long to arrange the hotel (Agate) and found out that it's completely booked the evening of the 6th. I prefer Agate (quite w/swimming pool, etc.) but then tried Venue and found that it is also booked. I should have known better - this still being on the back-slopes of high season.

Note that when I visit JC (or anywhere else on the scene) I book at least one nights lodging to avoid driving back to Bang Saray after a night of drinking. I mentioned Dorothy's to Jai and he just gave me one of those twisted facial expressions. Much too noisy for either of our tastes.

I hesitate booking a later date not knowing who will be around.

Sorry for this screwup on my part and hopefully we can connect sometime on a later date.

Oh Dodger,

Don't give up so easily.

According to the official Jomtien Supertown Complex website there are 10 hotels in the complex.

Can you try to get a room in any of these for 1 night? :

Poseidon
Siam House
Double Shot rooms
Dorothy's rooms
The Venue Residence
Fu House
Dolce Vita rooms
East Suites
Zing Resort
Agate

This is now turning into the Sawatdee equivalent of Gallipoli.

Unfortunately Agate is the only place with guest parking. This is one reason why Jai and I always stay at Agate - apart from the fact that the rooms are very comfy and quiet...friendly staff...swimming, and within easy stumbling distance to the bars.

Thanks for trying to help but I'll just have to wait until rooms are available. I'll be sure to post when I get a reservation.

How long are you going to be in town?

Hi Dodger,

I live here as a retiree since September 2022.
The owner of Gaybutton suggested that I meet you back in September 2022 and we chatted back and forth about meeting but it never happened.
So, I was hoping to use this new occasion as an opportunity to finally meet you.

Instead of accommodating my schedule - I would suggest to accommodate the other guys who expressed interest to meet as they may be here on vacation and have less ability to modify meeting dates. If I am free when you get a reservation at The Agate - I will be willing to join all of you.

I wish I had 2 bedrooms in my 1 bedroom condo in View Talay 5 - as it has a HUGE abundance of free parking and we have a pool and from my balcony you can see the Jomtien Supertown Complex ==> as I would then host you and Jai (for free) and all of your above mentioned requirements could be met. But unfortunately, I only have 1 bedroom. It takes me about 7 to 8 minutes to walk to the Divarium - so it would still be reasonable for you and Jai.

Can't we all just agree on waiting until Cdnmatt returns to Pattaya for the next meet-up (which will be the third if I count correctly)? A meeting without him would be pointless.

This is now turning into the Sawatdee equivalent of Gallipoli.

The difference is that people actually turned up at Gallipoli.

or we could move this meeting to Bang Saray - it's not Gallipoli - but at least Bang Saray is:

only a 300 baht Bolt taxi ride away - one way - if we all shared a Bolt taxi together then the cost would be negligible,
a place that I have never seen and I heard that it is nice and worth seeing,
a way to ensure Dodger's participation as we could meet underneath Dodger's condo - to enhance the probability of realizing this meeting,
we would not need to get a hotel - because when we finish the meeting we can take another Bolt taxi back to the Jomtien Supertown Complex to continue our evening together or call it a night and go home to sleep.

A first Sawatdee group trip - and then afterwards we could write a joint trip report for the readership who could not attend our journey to Bang Saray :yes:

........or we could move this meeting to Bang Saray:

I love Bang Saray...it's home...but there are no Boy Bars here - so Jomtien Complex is a much better choice for a gaggle of boy-loving farang to sit around socializing.

Jai and I will be zooming around the bay sometime in the next few weeks when Agate becomes available and I'll certainly let you know when the date is confirmed.

P.S. Your choice of VT # 5 for your residence was an excellent one...and perfect location.

It was a bad idea from the beginning, and I apologize for bringing this topic back to life. I promise not to do that anymore. In case someone wants to accuse me personally, I'll be at the Divarium at 20:00 for a drink. I'll be wearing a "chili" t-shirt.

It wasn't a bad idea at all and there's no need to apologize to anyone.

Making plans like this are always difficult because of everyone's fluid schedules...personal preferences,...likes and dislikes, etc., and I'm sure we can pull something off in the future.

The next time I toss my name in the hat I'll be sure I can make it on the date scheduled ahead of time, versus having to make last-minute changes. If anyone needs to apologize it would be me.

Cheers

That's a great idea. I'm sure many here are interested in a joint trip to Bang Saray and to explore this unknown exotic place together.

Just need to hire a tourbus and then I'm sure it will quickly fill up with Sawatdee members wanting to go to this Bang Saray meetup. If we can time it with cdnmatts arrival in Pattaya he can do a standup comedy show on the bus. That will keep us entertained during the trip.
I hope the guy who posted originally and started all of this is still around. Because logically he should pay for the bus.
