Morlam, Pattaya

For those who have never been, Morlam is an outdoor Isaan music concert. It is usually held in an open space on Third Road in Pattaya (see below).

They held one last night Wed 5 December and so I was coerced into taking a couple of boys there. One was to meet us there and the other was to pick me up at 8.30. By 9 he hadn’t tuned up and his phone was off. The other one called to say he was waiting outside and could I get there on a motor bike taxi. (How the fuck do they manage to run the country like this?).

Anyway, I got on a taxi and the bugger dropped me at a very similar looking place and then I discovered it was just a market, but with identical lighting...another motorbike taxi got me to the right place at 9.15! In the mean time boy1 called me saying he was waiting outside my condo...(how the fuck do they manage it??)!

This Morlam concert was therefore on Third Road somewhere past Pattaya Klang, heading North.

Anyway for newbies it is 140 baht to get in and 100 baht for a large bottle of Chang beer. No other beers available. The concert seems to start at about 8.30 but the place doesn’t really fill until about 10.00. There must have been several thousand there then and it was great fun.

Rent a chair each as you go in, plus one extra...to use as a bar! 30 baht each.

Morlam finishes about 1 or 2 a.m. but I was itching to go to Boyz Music by 1230, for some decent beer, so we left then.

Recomended if you haven’t been before, but best take a reliable (time keeping) boy with you.

If you can find one anywhere!

Piccies

Concert, bar, and then play find your motorbike!

Lol at meeting two boys and being reliant on their timekeeping. Meeting one drives me up the wall.

Morlam is a time to avoid the bars as the staffs will be at the event. Please keep us posted when the next one is!

B.T.W. Great pics!

I believe it is on Third Road at Soi Excite (the old road name when Excite was there). Across from Cherry's Restaurant.

There was another morlam event this evening (Friday) on Theprasit Road (wide space near DeLuxe I am said), featuring the Jai Koen Roi group.

There are at least four Morlum sites in Pattaya. Pattaya north 3rd road, Xzyte on 3rd road. Theprassit road near the Colosseum and another across from Big C south. I like the music and many good looking and friendly guys go to Morlum that you never see in the bars. I hooked up with new friends at the last two Morlums but the rain finished the fun early at last night's Morlum at Theprassit road.

I find the music repetitive but some of the dancing boys are quite attractive. I posted a pic of one in my Isaan report of May last year when there was a Morlam all-night concert in the village where we were staying

I find those costumes and make-up highly unattractive. My dislike of the costumes and makeup overrides everything else. When they (sometimes boys who don't work there, just got a chance to dress and makeup like the performers) post pictures of themselves in costume and or makeup, several points deduction on attractiveness scale.

The next concert not so far from Pattaya is on February 15 in Muang Chonburi. It will be shown "Sao Noi Petchbarnbeng" (สาว น้อย เพชร บ้านแพง) at the Temple Festival. I think the concert ends 6 or 7 in the morning. I copy the address in Thai:

งานประจำปีวัดดอน� �ำรงธรรม ต.ดอนหัวฬ่อ(อมตะนค ร)อ.เมือง จ.ชลบุรี
15กพ.สาวน้อยเพชรบ้� �นแพง

I will always try to update Morlum concerts in or near Pattaya whenever you want.
Or for every other place too ;)

Sorry the copy again:

งานประจำปีวัดดอน� �ำรงธรรม ต.ดอนหัวฬ่อ(อมตะนค ร)อ.เมือง จ.ชลบุรี
15กพ.สาวน้อยเพชรบ้� �นแพง

I was at my first one last January with colmx, Ronan and a couple of friends of theirs. There was another farang who I can see in my mind but forget his name. It was a great night altogether. We went onto a club somewhere, but by 3.00am, I was ready for sleep. I'd definitely go again.

im always conflicted at Morlams as you're right in that it's always great fun if you go with a Thai guy / a crowd of Thai guys HOWEVER once you're there there are inevitably a massive number of OTHER cute gay Thai guys, a large percentage of which always seem quite open and up for a dance ( and more) and I find myself having to go for several "walks to the bar or the toilet" throughout the night to enable me to get aquatinted with the guys i DIDN'T come with / am meant to be going home with.

However what with it being pattaya and me never hiding my slutty intentions the guys I'm with usually say "go fill yer boots" ( or whatever the Thai equivalent is to that ?) and actually wouldn't be the first time where the guy's I've gone with and myself have ended up going home with new guys that I met - that THAT as they say is a whole other story :-)

Morlam's - great fun - well apart from the god awful music that is of course ! The things us poor farang have to endure just to get laid ! I hope the Thai boys appreciate the lengths we go to for them ! - Quite literally for THEM though perhaps :-)

Something weird is going on with that quote. Let it settle over night and try again tomorrow and tidy up those multiple posts.

I was going to comment that "งานประจำปีวัดดอ น" is not an address, but simply translates at "annual temple fair in Wat Don", but when I quote the OP the full address magically appears.

When I post everything is fine as in the picture, but when I refresh the page the bottom part is gone.

Yes Christian. The bottom part of my post is always gone. I do not know the problem. I'm so sorry. But I entered the complete address correctly.

The next Pattaya Morlam is this Thursday, 17th January, at the usual Third Road site.

It shows the performance "Sieng Esan" on January 17th.
The homebase of the performance is in Udon Thani.
The location in Pattaya is 17 มกราคม 2562 เสียงอิสาน แสดงที่ พัทยาเหนือสาย3 เมืองพัทยา อ.บางละมุง จ.ชลบุรี
I hope someone can have fun there.
