Whilst trying to find a current guide to venues in both BKK and Pattaya it is obvious that one has to trawl through a number of websites and message boards.
When a guide is found, it is usually out of date, and worse - the listing relect the sympathies of the web board host. For instance there are many go gos or late night places - mostly in Pattaya which are sometimes discussed or maore accurately bitched about in Forums - but do not apear in venue listings. The reasons for this is there may be some underage or the owners are disliked.
A website should be designed by someone with accurate comprehensive listings. Trying to find what is still open for instance in Jomtien can be a nightmare, and what about a late night spot in Pattaya with good music besides Hollywood??
Customer comments on the places posted should be avoided - as it would take too long to trawl through it all - but should be updated regularly say at the minimum each week or fortnight. Listings should be free of personal bias, kickbacks, salesmanship and irrelevancies. Hyper links can be used where appropriate.
This can then be bookmarked and checked out. WHO on holiday wants to spend hours in an internet cafe, or consulting printed gay guides with inaccurate info??
As a test:
Attempt to find these things:
1) a late night spot in jomtien.
2) a COMPLETE listing of ALL the go gos or host bars in sunee.
3) a gay bar in or near walking street and the opening times
4) a complete list of the bars in or close to the GOLDEN COCK in BKK (including sub sois) there names and opening times. Excluding golden cock and solid and slyper X the OBVIOUS ONES
5) late night cruising spots in BKK and I DO NOT MEAN outside Robinsons????
How long does this take you?? And how many different web sites and links did you need to view? And to your knowledge what was missing??? Was ALL this info available on the ONE SITE?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??//
