[Brad the Impala]

For those of you who have never heard of him, and to save you the trouble, I have done the googling for you. He is a 35 year old ex porn actor from Slovakia.

Hardly the world's number one gay icon that the owners previously announced!


Lukas Ridgeston (often misspelled as Lucas Ridgeston) is a Slovakian actor in gay erotic movies and model in Bel Ami gay erotic magazines and books. He was born in Bratislava[1], then part of the former Czechoslovakia, now capital of Slovakia. In 2005 he made his final appearance as an actor but he is still very much involved with Bel Ami as a cameraman, editor and director of Internet episodes.

Wikipedia (http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lukas_Ridgeston)

As hardly any one has seen him before, unless youтАЩre a devotee of Bel Ami, Ill try my magic for you, and make this look Interesting...here he is, in his entire splendor?

I wonder what he is going to do, same as once when I was at the Sydney Mardi Gras, Jeff Stryker had water thrown over his Cat Suit, so you can see the out line of his bits. Or is he going to sing a duet with the Manager?

I donтАЩt know if you can show what there is to see here, but its good I can tell you, I'm sure the powers that be here, will delete if itтАЩs not allowed, but quite mild I thought.

See who you would rather see on show, at the "VENUE BALL ROOM" BELOW?

At least he's man, thatтАЩs all I worry about.

just click then with your mouse, if you want them any larger :king:

Also a picture of my Bangkok guy, hair is shorter now, but growing again, I know which one I prefer!!

Both!!! IтАЩm not silly whoтАЩs bother with there face itтАЩs the size of there unmentionables IтАЩm worried about.

Lukas was born in Bratislava, which is in the Slovak Republic, on 5 April 1975. He is 5ft 10ins tall and weighs in about 175 lbs. This, literally, blue eyed boy, has studied Architecture at University so is not just a pretty face :-) ! He first came to fame under the name of Jan in some low budget, German, porn films. From then he has gone from strength to strength having appeared in all the main gay porn journals in Europe and the United States. Lukas met up with Bel Ami director George Duroy. George admired his obvious photogenic qualities and this eventually led to him starring in 'Tender Strangers'. Lukas is renown for his pleasant and relaxed temperament. Apparently his secret is not to have sex for two weeks before a 'shoot', thus ensuring an all round, good, performance for the camera.

After a long break Lukas has been finally tempted back in front of the camera to appear in the stunning new release Lukas In Love.

Personally I think we have so many home grown stunners, who needs to Import them from the Eastern Block, see my Idea of a stunner below.

[ServeUncutUncle-old]

Maybe he's bringing Judy Garlands remains with him, but seriously Brad just because you did not know the worlds Foremost Gay VHS and DVD Star for the Past Decade Plus, most people are well are of Lukas.

PS after all they have been selling pirated DVD's of him in Bangkok for 10 years.

[Lunchtime O'Booze]

counter productive to what Fatman ?? Do you think Princess Anne is going to be staying there ?..

then again she might ! Surely you saw the pics of Princes Eugenie lolling around on a Phuket beach topless swilling booze. I mean she is only 5th from the throne !

Class is an invention..style is what counts and Lukas has it in spades..even at 30 I bet he looks fab (well at my age anyone younger looks great !). What a star !.

Sorry King Key but I fully approve of more imports from East Europe. Bring 'em on !

(and I once met Jeff Stryker..nice chap but only about 5'5"..not that it matters when certain things are the right size)

[Smiles]

Seeing as how a very large percentage of the folks who participate on Sawatdee and other gay Thailand message Boards (with the exception of Baht-Stop, where it is obligatory to be as serious ~ and as dull ~ as sand) are Rice Queens, I think it would/should be pretty obvious that they hold little interest in 30/40 year old porn has-beens from the wind blown Caucasus steppes.

Along similar lines: O'Booze thankfully demonstrating 'class' to those who lack it on Sawatdee:
" ... Class is an invention..style is what counts . . . I once met Jeff Stryker..nice chap but only about 5'5"..not that it matters when certain things are the right size)[/i] ... "

As suspected...the "world's no. 1 gay icon" was all bluster and no truth.

People who go to Pattaya are interested in 18 year old Asian boys, not a 35 year-old farang.

What a laugh. And the Venue exposed once and for all for what is is: a bunch of hype with nothing behind it.

I'm sure Mr. Ridgeston has applied for the necessary permission from the Labour Department to appear at the Venue, and will arrive in Thailand with the correct temporary worker's visa. Certain, a "venue" of its caliber would not forget such a detail....

I bet the waiters will be happy!

They'll be the only ones.

I stood outside "The Venue" 2 weeks ago and had a free show. A 20yo shirtless builder with a perfect toned bod was wearing a gstring and jeans showing some of of his cute bare bottom. This is the type of gay icon that I want to see and he would make a great waiter or dancer. Monty also had three extremely hot cayote dancers in his show further down the soi and well worth a look (show time about 1030pm).

In any case it is good to see a new place to liven up Jomtiem as it was very quiet there during my recent stay and I will be visiting "The Venue Jomtiem" on my next visit to Thailand. Give the management some time to get everything right, they have made a big investment and deserve our support. Hopefully they will take notice of any sensible improvements suggested by the customers and this forum.

will he be doing a striptease?

Well, what a dissapointment!!! after all the hype, and the No1 Gay Icon is a has been Porn Star, what is he going to do there anyhow? the owner of Jomtien Complex forbids any type of sexual activity, you cannot even have A Go-Go Boys working there, so is he just going to stand on stage and smile? bearing in mind they are charging 1200 Baht admisssion, with a donation to PGF? I hardly think it will be space limited? the other thing, which maybe they can answer, is, on the following 3 nights, they are charging 750 Baht admission, which includes 3 drinks, which works out at 250 Baht a drink, so what are you getting to justify the 150% increase in price?

Well what a dissapointment, after all the hype, we get a middle aged Porn Star, and just what will he do? even A Go-Go dancing is prohibited in Jomtien Complex, if the owner heard they were putting on a Porn Star (sic) she would probably have them shut down! and bearing in mind they are charging 1200 Baht to get in, I would rather pay an off, take a nice Boy, and get the real thing!!!

Apologies everybody for posting the same thing twice, but when I checked my original post wasn't there!!! stupid Farang!

[blueboy]

and I thought it might have been the famous Ms Karen of jomtien!

at least Lukas has got a big one - how much will it be to off him?

[lo-so]

Elton John did invite Lukas and Sebastian Bonnet to his post Oscar's bash and presumably had a nice time.

"Apparently his secret is not to have sex for two weeks before a 'shoot' . . ."

Only two weeks! I like to leave it for at least a year or two

Well what a dissapointment, after all the hype ...

Agreed. I was hoping that a real Gay Icon like Lucille Ball was going to be dug up ...

I cannot imagine coming to thailand and paying to see a middleaged pornstar.
It is bad enough that some elderly drag queens claim to be entertaining, but at least they do it to music. i usually shut my eyes if I cant avoid them.
I prefer thai big cock shows.

It would seem like you need to see a the Xboys show in Soi twilight Bangkok Witchy, before you venture to Jomtiem Complex, then go to jupitor 2000 but I hear the show at the VENUE is something else, worth a visit, not like anything else around town, dont concentrate of any katos but look at the Men in the show, they are the big draw, but your never know unless you visit, then youc na tell us for your self, but we cant all be looking for the same thing can we. :thumbright:

[CoffeeBreak]

Have to say:

1. If this "Venue" Hotel was any good they would show actual pictures of the guest rooms on their web site, which they do not;

2. To charge 1200 baht or even 750 baht to go to a cabaret show in Jomtien is outrageous and ridiculous;

3. Lukas who?
Never heard of him.

We will be witnessing yet a further monumental 'gay' business failure to rank with the likes of Icon Show Bar, icon Hotel, The Birdcage etc etc as the people behind this latest disaster completely misunderstand the "market" in Pattaya.

[atri1666]

I hope they will offer also the "Tastiest Burgers"

[Patexpat]

Let me see ... B1200 less B500 for a worthy cause gives us B700 - for which we get unlimited free 'standard' drinks, supper and a show?

Seems like a good deal to me? Or did all your professional knockers choose to ignore the unlimited drinks part of the poster? Or may be to busy criticizing to bother reading what actually is on offer?

As for Lucas R. appearing - I admit I'll be interested to see what his stage show consists of!

I'm sure the authorities will, too. Lukas Ridgeston (doesn't sound like a very Slovak name) better stick to poetry reading if he doesn't want to end up staying in Thailand longer than he anticipated.

I enjoyed jupiter last visit. I do not like katoeys. I do not go to thailand for white men dressed up as fat pigs in a frock.
If I want to see have or whatever, young cock, Jomtien seems to be the last place to go.
To be frank your reviews turn me off even standing outside trying to look in.
I am a top not a bottom . Not a size queen or princess.
You sound like the Queen Mother.

Uhmm, hello, have you not heard of Wild West Boys, Boyz Boyz Boyz & Copa Showbar? out of all 3, I would say the are copying the style of The Copa more, they have about 15 dancers in their show, of which 10 or more are boys/men, I wondered what was so familiar to me when I was at the Venue, but then I rea;ised that you can see the show at the copa, because there is not a great big pillar in the way!

Sorry to dissapoint you Witchunt, but there is nothing "original" or "unique" about The Venue's Cabaret Show, just go to Boyz Town and you will see what I mean, try "Copa Showbar" same show, just double the amount of dancers, and, oh, no pillar in the middle of the stage, my understanding is that "Copa" is quite new, but I believe it was called something else before it was re-fitted last year, can't remember the name though, the prices are higher, but the "Venue" (sic) is much bigger and more comfortable, they also have some very nice A Go-Go dancers between showtimes.

If I want to see have or whatever, young cock, Jomtien seems to be the last place to go. yes I know just walk past your local skool.
To be frank your reviews turn me off even standing outside trying to look in. as I can't see any site of a fat pig so I wont be going in.
I am a top not a bottom . Not a size queen or princess. no just a king size pig.

You sound like the Queen Mother, yes I am, its knowing a lot from being around so long, thats why I know what you game is.. onk onk stay in your private pig Stile [/quote] :tongue:

George Smiley

Le Carre would be delighted by your sleuthing skills. Presumably as a spy on behalf of Copa? :bounce: Only having become a new member 2 days after the The Venue opening as well!!
Every business deserves to be a success. So your compulsiveness to keep showing your bias towards Copa is getting to sound like some other punter on this board towards The Venue.
Let everyone enjoy what they enjoy, whatever the style of show without the continual backbiting :argue: Lifes not worth that type of stress! Have a nice day.
