Gay bars catching the straight tourist dollar
Two friends who arrived back thursday from Pattaya made an interesting observation. They had been to the Xboys bar in soi1 pattayaland several times and noted that straight tourist both sexes arriving with coupons and were given personalized attention, including free drink[s]
Obviously some tie up with hotels or an intourist group but good marketing.
Prior to becoming Copa , it was not unusual to see straight tourist from hotels arrive for the G rated floor shows. Whether that has continued I have not heard. Those damned dog and monkey skits used the be popular with all bar the regulars .
Maybe Venue has a similar deal with hotels?.
I remember 10/15 years ago the 2 storied place in Sunni next to where Memories is now,used to have a procession of baht buses arrive to see live sex shows and reportedly paid huge entrance fees to do so. Hetro downstairs and gay upstairs with the boys rotating where needed. The baht bus drivers were paid the commission rather than travel agents.
That place looks like a bombsite now and apart from Krazy Dragon I dont think any bar in Sunni could tap into that market.
Id be interested to find out if Copa and BBB do anything similar.

MMM Lonely, you are correct the dog and monkey shows were loved by a lot of us. But on this forum, with its faux sophistication, the shots at the dog and monkey will fill a book. I never objected to the slim smooth assed monkey fucking my face for a few seconds. I considered it high halarity.

It has been a while since I have been back to Pattaya. When I was last there Throbb was still doing their thing but with a different star, not the heavy ladyboy that everyone got a kick out of. One thing for sure, for me Throbb was the cornerstone of Boyztown. I am no fan of Drag so Boys Boys Boys did little for me.
Now I don't hear much buzz about Boyztown or the Copa. What is going on in Boyztown? What bar had the show that is bringing the crowds in?

I think even fans of drag would be horrified there. Jim Lumsden is one ugly woman.

The whole idea of British "drag" is to be grotesque - don't confuse it with "female impersonation" which is more about glamour etc.
Unfortunately for Jimmy, he attempts the latter but achieves the former!

And if even a little tiny bit of the reports into his past are true then underneath all of that plaster he is also one ugly man!

He is a f***** sight uglier out of drag.
Re: Gay bars catching the straight tourist dollar
One thing that has always intrigued me about Jimmy:
Any time he is mentioned in the Scottish or UK press (and I'm not getting into all that) the story always contains the following line ".... James Lumsden..... ...who once appeared in a porn film......"
SOMEBODY must know!
Tell us!
:sharm:
