Jomtien Complex A.K.A. Supertown A.K.A. God’s Waiting Room
It must have been over a year since I walked through the Complex but I went tonight and saw some new places and some boys who I hadn’t seen in years as they used to work in Sunee and a couple that once worked in Nice Boys. It was about 9PM not a customer under 60 and not once did I see a boy that was a stunner however, I can understand that all these geriatrics are there to socialize and good for them that they have such a place.

Boys waiting for the right Man.

I am of an understanding that those boys are not offable?

MOAS suggests that at 9 00 few boys around to go off.
Time has rolled on but when I used to visit regular, the afternoon trade from off the beach used to be active then the after dinner trade, with a gap until the older men your age arrived usually after 10.
A number of parties seek to evolve and if you were in the know , invites were open. Not my scene but it would not surprise to see bar boys arrive at 10 for work if nothing happens

Welcome back to Jomtien. I guess you have removed it from your NoGo list.
I did you a favour last night. Whilst in Double Shot I asked about “offs”. The Head Waiter, who is a friend, told me all boys are offable. 500 Baht.
He also told me that they are all straight so you would have to negotiate your “requirements” directly with them.
You see, mere tourists do have their uses now and then!

What is the best venue in JC for offing boys?
I have always seen bars where boys sit with their customers, but not so many lately where boys are available for offing, as opposed to waiting for their regular customer.

On my recent visit to the complex as I have noted before the geriatric clientele is more interested in socializing with each other than offing boys.

Sounds great too bad it has closed!

Re: Jomtien Complex A.K.A. Supertown A.K.A. God’s Waiting Room
A friend advised me that the Supertown Sign in Jomtien Complex is now gone. I have not noticed this on my last visit, can anyone confirm?
-
Re: Jomtien Complex A.K.A. Supertown A.K.A. God’s Waiting Room
If the sign has disappeared, maybe - given this thread's original premise - it is being amended to read SuperannuatedTown?

It's still there, but moved to the side.

Shame you missed all the fun in Doubleshot while it lasted.

Pure speculation on my part - but from what I understand the rents in JC are double what they are in Sunee...and with less than half the customers due to covid I was wondering how long they would hold out.
Double Shot - or Double Whammy?
With the tourist numbers being hit-or-miss right now, the single stall bars (half the rent) with regular local clientele seem to have a better chance of surviving.
Having said that, regardless of the size of the bar, it has to be loaded with HOT BOYS or it won't survive. That seems to be the greatest challenge right now.
For any bar owners reading this: Hire yourself one of those irritating screechy-voiced ladyboy mamasans to do the recruiting and quit making pretend you know what you're doing. That's the ONLY way it will work.

Dodger I disagree as the geriatric customers are there far less for the boys as they are there to socialize among themselves, the complex also has gone overboard with show bars.

It is visible from Thappraya Road, leaning against something.

Re: Jomtien Complex A.K.A. Supertown A.K.A. God’s Waiting Room
I care, even if I never use those bars . This is because P and I will be at Agate in July (we hope) and would prefer the area to be vibrant and full of gay men of all nationalities. Any indication that the Complex is going the way of Boyztown is a downer, and the possibility, however remote, that the removal of the sign presages the arrival of another ghost town is a matter of concern. Two is enough.
It was , after all, the decline of Boyztown that encouraged our move to Jomtien in the first place.

As a mere tourist, like yourself, our views are tertiary.
However, I can tell you that during my 3 month visit, which ended last week, the place was buzzing. There are now in excess of 25 bars and even Manforoldseasons has taken it off his NoGo list. That is certainly progress.
I cannot see there being any reduction in July other than the usual low season slow down. If that actually happens nowadays.
I also hope to be there in July.

Re: Jomtien Complex A.K.A. Supertown A.K.A. God’s Waiting Room
Sign or no sign, JC has done a fabulous job in its recovery - with the majority of bars/restaurants open and a modest but regular flow of customers.
Hopefully Boyztown and Sunee will follow.

Re: Jomtien Complex A.K.A. Supertown A.K.A. God’s Waiting Room
The Complex gay scene is still expanding. There is an ever-increasing number of gay businesses in the Dick's Cafe soi and the soi leading off it - bars, massage places, coffee places, food places. Often these are in the form of roadside kiosks - got to admire the entrepreneurial spirit. It's almost as brightly lit and busy there now at night as in the main gay soi.

Thanks everyone; I am reassured. But other posters, I'm sure, will recognise the anxiety I feel regarding what should be my first visit in over two years.

Don't worry, all that pent up anxiety will vanish immediately the first time you put your arms around HIM.

Last night the bars in Jomtien Complex were closing down in the run up to 23.00. Previous nights some were packing up before 23.30 while others were still going strong.

The owner of Double Shot Bar returned to Belgium and his return date is uncertain. Some of his staff have been working at the bars across the soi from Double Shot, but not seeing them shirtless most nights in Double Shot has been disappointing during Songkran.

I have seen many geriatics in Sunee over the years,long before Jomtien complex.Without them some of these places would not survive.

Even in the Good Old Days, gay Pattaya was a haven for the over fifties, with a few -very few- youngsters staying in the new Year period.
I met one of them in the lift at Ambiance and asked him how he liked Pattaya. Not at all, was the response, he wanted clubs with young Thais, not bars and mbs. I suspect that the straight sex scene is much the same.

I believe he is returning in June. That is also when some of the staff will return from Isaan.

The term "geriatric" is basically an offensive term when applied to older persons. As well as many other terms such as elderly, geezer, old timer, etc. There seems to be few words with a positive slant in English that I am aware to refer to older persons although "venerable" has a positive connotation. Fortunately the Thais/Asians don't seem to have negative feelings toward older people and treat them with the respect they deserve.
