Or as we say here in Bavaria: "die Dinge von der angenehmen Seite nehmen". Mother Theresa May possibly said "Sunee means Sunee". The Life of Brian described it similarly in their well-known song
frequent you and scottish have much in common, you live for this board and everytime either of you post something it kills the thread, if your names are seen as the last to post most just pass and go on to another topic, obviously Moses has not woken up!
I thought I looked very handsome in that video!!!
Good Times!!!
Do you guys remember Crazy Pub at Sunee? That place is still the wackiest bar I ever been to, it was so much fun. Total anarchy inside, guys jerking off randomly, that place was like no other bar at Sunee, or anywhere else. A total zoo!
Does anybody know who owned it, and why it closed?
Yes, I remember it - I stood at the bar once while the boys strutted and danced on top of it, wanking off.
I had ask for tissues to wipe boy juice off both arms before emerging into the Sunee night air.
Wonderful
Wasn't it Mark, who'd been Kevin's assistant at Throb? The bar closed at a time when the gay scene was beginning to fade away, particularly in Sunee....but, in fact, its closure was a bigger set-back to the area than Mark could have imagined. Its bright lights and sign had livened-up the whole soi.
To be honest, it was too much "in your face" for my taste but I recognised that it had been popular and well-run. It was also sui generis; I've never seen anything like it anywhere else in Thailand.
Meeeow.
No, Crazy Pub has been closed far longer that 10 years - I was in it only once and the next time I made an attempt to visit it had closed, so it might be more like 15 years ago.
I find it highly amusing (some might say hypocritical) that just today on this Board you have moaned about people carrying on personal feuds within threads - yet here you are, a matter of minutes later and you've slipped into becoming a Pound Shop version of Mini Mee.
FYI - I was last in Pattaya in Sept 2016 (not 10yrs ago).
As to when I'll return - who knows (if ever) - my circumstances have changed and Thailand is no longer the attraction to me which it used to be.
Actually the bar you are speaking of was Krazy Dragon the adjacent open air bar was Crazy Pub both originally owned by a german named Peter (RIP), Krazy Dragon was problematic with the authorites and Peter took on Mark and John who were the owners of Sammy's which is now Eros. When Mark and John come on board the club was toned down and became a table top gogo and was less than spectacular and coinsided with the large decline of Sunee hence it was no more.
To my memory Crazy Pub was a completely different bar from Krazy Dragon - which came along years after Crazy Pub had closed
Yep, I first visited Crazy Pub in 2003, and it was gone within couple of years.
Like Oliver2 said, that was the time Sunee took a dive, slowly at first, but Crazy Pub gone, area was never the same again.
Maybe closest to other major attraction at Sunee was Crazy Dragon, not same thing at all, but still a stand out spot, people visited Sunee because of it.
Today, with no major attraction, there is little reason to go. Should Nice Boys and Winner fold, Sunee can put the lights out. Even Good Boys, with very attractive straight guys and very low prices, dead night after night.
Every area needs one major draw, or have a high number of bars that put the place on a map.
One thing you notice at Sunee, the only people sitting in bars are veterans, but no tourists. Boyztown always has younger Russians singing along to Alla Pugatcheva at high season, never at Sunee.
Just walking by Sunee last night bars have almost no customers, Sky had 3 people, 2 of them hosts, it seemed. How these bars manage to come with rent every month is puzzling,
owners must be paying out of their pocket, or landlord has lowered rents to near zero.
Pity, because Boyztown has become a disneyland, and needs competition badly, Jomtien Complex is not it.
no no, MFAS, I meant Crazy Pub.
Crazy Dragon was a different place, Crazy Dragon remained open long after Crazy Pub closed.
I did not know German guy from Crazy Dragon also ran Crazy Pub, but of course it makes sense, both places were very cool, unusual, nothing like that has been tried in Bangkok or Pattaya since.
Peter must have been a very smart, and brave man to get away with this quite insane concept successfully.
MFAS, did you know Peter the German guy personally? What was he like?
I believe it was Mark and John......and yes I knew Peter as well as one could know him.
Krazy Dragon continued to change hands a couple of times after but to no avail.
Manforallseasons, Thanks for the video. Does bring up all kinds of feelings. One of the things about Sunee is that during this time of the video there were three or four nice small hotels nearby. That helped keep Sunee busy at nights!
You shouldn't confuse Crazy Gogo Bar with Crazy Dragon. Crazy was long before Dragon. The first time I went it was hard to find as I believe there were no other entertainment places on that soi. From Soi VC, you would peer down a very dark lane and hopefully see a small neon sign. I could be mistaken but I think it was located in what became Kaos Bar and now Sky Bar. It was always crowded and had many very attractive, active boys. They had great shows from body paint, soap show to full on fucking. And it wasn't some old queen being fucked but very attractive, young boys who, after performing on stage would wonder through the crowd joined at the hip and let the customers closely examine that all was true...hopefully for a 20 bhat tip. I remember a cute boy come on stage with a colorful piece of wool protruding from his cute bum. After a little dance he would have a patron hold the end of the string while he wandered around the stage poles and building posts marking the trail with an impossible length of wool. Then there was the boy who tied a length of string to a pole and as he slowly, gingerly walked across the stage, razor blades, tied to the string would pop from his ass. Always I wanted to look away but couldn't. A trip to the washroom was another experience that would require a whole new thread. Crazy would rate it my top 3 gay bars in Thailand.
Well, that little trip down memory lane brought up something that I must go and take care of.
I believe they are one and the same perhaps Crazy morphed into Krazy Dragon.....my first memory was no stage more like a ring of sorts circled by small tables customers would put money in a round bin and pound it on the table for boys to wank.....I also remember a hideous creature pulling razor blades out of his ass....I made a mistake my first visit because I wore sandals and it kept cumming in my direction.
Often I would visit with an old queen that lived to suck cock and get fucked, when the boys saw him they would line up by him to be sucked and tipped.
I remember several small tables, and some guys standing by the table, whacking off furiously, guy who came first received the prize, bin with 100 baht bills.
I never saw the razor guy, lucky, I guess lol.
My first experience, it was 4 of us, all foreigners and good friends, one of us knew about the place and we walked in. Holy fuck! I had never seen anything even close to this, all that most of us had seen in Pattaya were regular gogo bars. We were not exactly sober, but everyone's first thought was to run lol, every one of us was stunned, excited but also scared.
But we stayed, and soon we all donated 100 to the bowl on of the tables, Thai guys jumped to the table, I vividly remember several semi hard dicks dangling and almost touching my face, I was too scared to even move. Thai guys were laughing and giggling, they must have picked up how awkward all our small group felt.
I was too shy to even touch any of dicks near my face, and Thais jumped off table, stood at the table and started jerking off. I had no idea about the rules, it just seemed weird why they were going about it with such furor, then realized they all tried to come. Soon one of the guys landed his load on the table, meanwhile our drinks, cigarettes etc were all on the same table, no one cared. The champion collected his winnings from tip jar, everybody cheering loudly.
All the while at least 2 foreigners were blowing Thai guys, few meters from us, in full view. The place was fairly well lit, not dark like Good Boys now, and everyone was easily able to observe exactly what was going on.
I must have drank several beers quickly, to build up courage, because a while later I sitting a bit further from my friends, and some guy was blowing me, not under the table, but in front of everybody who cared to watch. My friends were laughing their heads off, joking and yelling encouragements, I remember wishing to become invisible, yet I chose to go on with the whole circus, to this day can't believe I had the strenght, if it was strangers watching, who cares, but they were my best friends, not fuck buddies but real friends who I'd known for years, sitting in front of them with my pants lowered to ankle, and some guy sucking me off seemed so awkward then, I still remember the feeling, I was sweating from being super nervous, but tried to put up brave appearance. I believe my friends had a blast watching their friend suffer lol.
At the same time similar activities were happening near other table, it was basically a bizarre orgy. I was truly afraid to return next night, none of us went. I did eventually go back, but alone.
If Mel Gibson ever plans to make another bible theme movie, similar to his torture porn Passion Of The Christ, he should use concept of Crazy Pub as a stage for Sodom and Gomorrah.
I suspect that there was an original Crazy Pub (which Doug, DD, and myself are referring to) which opened sometime in the late 90's and was defunct by 2004/2005 at the latest.
I further suspect that there later may have arisen a second Crazy/Krazy Pub related to Krazy Dragon and which lasted till around 2010.
The Crazy Pub which Double Dutch, Doug and myself are referring to was operating around the same time as Super Queen, White Knight, Country Pub. Krazy Dragon did not exist at that time - I'm 100% sure on that.
Scotty is quite right. There was aother Crazy Pub, next door to Krazy Dragon, and it was an open air bar.
That must have been the second bar with the same name.
Anyway, rather than another Youtube offering, how about these I took an another Sunee bar...
More pics of Sunee from Gaybutton:
http://www.gaybuttonthai.com/viewtopic.php?t=8357 ...
...and some from New Year Jan 2010. One includes a pic of the second Krazy Pub. Wow how busy Sunee was then!
The last pic is of the Freak in his Sunday best.
Really have to wonder what killed it if only a decade ago it was pumping.
Repeated raids and general decline in gogo scene? Even BT a shadow of a decade ago
It must be great for you to join in the conversation on a normal level. Eh! Scottish Guy?
general decline?? Is it a generational thing...do all the millenials not like gogos?? too much free hookups on grindr??
What an interesting thread. And thanks to MFAS for the photos and video. Nostalgia personified.
I've been coming to Pattaya -- not living, for that we've chosen Hua Hin -- for nearly 20 years and my Sunee experience there are not that many ... perhaps 10 times. But I do remember it's charmingly raunchy-ness in the early 20's. That razor thing I never saw, thank Christ.
My last swish-by was about 3 years ago and Sunnee was certainly a different place. By the sound of it, the future holds not much. Lots of darkend-holes- in-the-walls.
A loss ...
Luckily you never saw the show where he pours a bottle of Orange Fanta up his ass, and then proceeds to fill an empty Coke bottle with a black liquid that looks like coke!
Or the one where they shoot balloons with a blowpipe, naturally the blowpipe was not being blown be a mouth!... aka the "fart show" as my BF used to call it!
From Thaiguys magazine April June 2000
(all 44 issues painstakingly saved for posterity at: http://thairainbowarchive.anu.edu.au...s/contents.htm )
As others have said the original Crazy pub was a gogo bar (which eventually morphed into Krazy Dragon), it had a circular metal framework which the gogo boys would walk around, the metal framework also had rungs and vertical/horizontal bars that that the boys would swing out of and do chin ups on
The other Crazy pub was a beer bar which appeared years later next door to the KD location
Thanks Colmx - but I think the "directory" is incomplete. Perhaps some bars did not pay to be included.
Missing from Sunee in 2000 is "Country Bar" and "Super Queen" (maybe other members will spot more) - I specifically remember Country Bar because I was feeling rather "under the weather" one evening (must have been something I ate :p) and had to be ferried back to the hotel on a motorcycle :D.
From memory the owner was a very kind young Thai called Deng or similar. His farang bf had opened the bar then popped his clogs, leaving it to Deng. Thereafter Deng often seemed to be absent as "sick" and a couple of years later he and the bar were both gone. Someone told me he succumbed to the big A.
Super Queen was definitely still going in 2000 - that's where I first saw the blow-dart show, the egg up the arse show, and the ribbon with needles pulled out the arse show - you don't easily forget that!
AFAIK the bars that didn't cough up or were known for underage (e.g. Amigo bar, as distinct to Amigo tailor, Butts bar)were left out of the maps
Was country bar a corner beer bar that was located outside Sunee on Soi VC (I think its now a Family Mart)
No it was in among the Sunee bars - from memory, approx where 45 and 43 are indicated - it was a beer bar with wicker tables and chairs on the street.
Disregard the above post.
30 seconds googling reveals that the Country Club Beer Bar was located next to the Come In Bar.
See here...number 46

Yes, a true classic act. Viewed it somewhere in Boyztown vicinity (?) many years ago and never forgot it.
