I Pledge.....

[bucknaway]

I pledge to spend at least one night in the Jomtien Complex exploring the bars and enjoying their night life. I have stopped at the bars during the day but I beat-feet out of there when night falls to make it to the more popular areas. This time I will force myself to stay at the complex from 8pm till at least 11pm.

I don't like Drag at all but I will even go to the Venue for a hour or so before I try 3 or 4 other bars before I hop on a motorbike taxi to take me to walking street to flirt with the Muay Thai boxers.

(I hope this post does not offend any of the bar owners in the Complex.)

Bucky,

It's SGT here, you're not taking the Oath for president.

...I don't like Drag at all but I will even go to the Venue for a hour or so ....

Only an hour? I guess you're only staying for the opening section then?

If you're planning to stay for the entire duration then take a razor - you'll require at least two shaves before they finally "bring the curtain down".

Also - if a 20 minute selection of lip-synched numbers from some Broadway show that the owners liked 30yrs ago, gets too depressing the razor can always be turned to other uses.

My guess is your contentment level will depend on what type of atmosphere you're usually looking for, bucknaway. Jomtien's is one much more conducive to a relaxed evening, without so much of the flashing lights and thump-thump-thump of dance music. Some would call that "dead" - and they're entitled to their opinion - but there's plenty of flash elsewhere.

Jomtien is perhaps even a little quieter (decibel-wise) than Sunnee, but some evenings when you just want to have a lower-key experience that's not a bad thing at all. Im not very well versed regarding the selection of guys available in Jomtien, but I would think it'd be much the same as the other areas, too; most clubs offer a variety, if they're smart.

It's nice to see the flash and glitz of the BT/Soi 1/Soi 2 area for a while, but it's not a place you could really call "relaxing," in my opinion. The difference between Boyztown and the Jomtien Complex is like the difference between a big casino and an open-air card room.

Since it seems to be on the upswing - meaning getting its act together, despite some persistent problem spots - the best balance at present overall may well be Sunnee: go-gos (i.e. Krazy Dragon), nearby places for a nice dinner (i.e. Dolphin) and pleasant places to sit and visit while people-watching (i.e. Corner Bar), but Jomtien has great potential and is still developing.

It'll be nice to read what your impression of Jomtien is since you really ARE a "younger" visitor.

Nothing more and nothing less than there's reliable documentation that bucknaway is a real person.

You make Jomtien sound like a right chore, Bucky... :rolling:
