Does anyone know if Paradise Complex has any activity in Phuket? As I remember, there were one or two gogo bars and several bars pre-pandemic. I’m debating between Pattaya and Phuket. Thank you.

No contest...Pattaya!
Nor was there a contest on my first visit in 1997. I'd just started visiting Pattaya (some would say obsessively....I even took early retirement to further my "interests") and thought that Patong would provide a similarly vibrant atmosphere; plus a clean beach and blue sea.
Vibrant? no, empty and shabby.
My last trip there three years ago revealed that nothing had changed.
Agree completely - Bkk for hunks, Pattaya for Twinks.
Yonks ago, when I frequented Paradise for frequent weekends from Bangkok, Paradise was dominated by two 'entrepreneurs' Khun Bon and Madman Tangmo.Quote:

I remember, affectionately, 'Flying Handbag' where you were greeted with "hello Flower" (easier than remembering names), but NOT the guest house rooms upstairs.
How has it all changed these days?
I recall Tango from those days, where the Mamasan ruled with a rod of iron.......though it was alleged on the message boards that the rod was actually a cane! le vice anglais?
There was also Shark Boys. An unusual ,if appropriate, name for a bar.
Indeed it was (allegedly) the owner 'herself' Tangmo who (allegedly again) wielded the cane.Quote:
