Hi All
1 week back from a Thai trip and thought I should write a quick update before my news becomes old!

First job on return was (as usual) was to book the next trip... so now that the New Year flights are all booked up... my Post Pattaya Depression (PPD) has started to lift!
Following my last trip at Songkran i was quite critical of the bars... and rightly so - they were awful... however on this trip I found that a lot of them had turned things completely around... I even ended up offing a few guys... which is something I have rarely done on recent trips!

Yes the bars are bereft of customers, but they are full of handsome and eager staff all waiting for you to choose them... so news of Pattaya's Death has been greatly exaggerated!

Patatayland:
BBB:
First time ever my BF asked to go back to BBB 3 nights in a row... For me that says it all... He would normally balk at the idea of going in there at all =; =;
They have a great selection of guys there with something for everyone... The addition of the "coyotes" has really livened things up
The first show starts at 22.40 and finishes around 23.40 - and its cocks, cocks, cocks, B-boys, cocks
The second show is at midnight and is the B-Boys usual Tiffany Show,
I pity some of the rank-and-file gogo boys as they don't have much of an opportunity to get a customer in the 20 mins between the shows

Only negatives are that they have way too many waiters there getting in the way, and the old BBB herd could still do with some pruning of the 30/40s deadwood career gogo boys

Funnyboys:
As others have said another bar that has faded to a shadow of its former self, maybe only 10 boys there, but 1-2 cuties... One of which was in my Shopping basket for a long time... That itch has now been scratched and he was as good as I had hoped!

Toyboys:
Lots of cute guys working here, definitely the most well run bar in terms of attentive well behaved workers and good looking staff.
Seems they have a lot of guys from Laos and Cambodia and in my opinion the boys there are of a higher "class" than elsewhere
Most nights I was there I was offered a 2nd drink for free, which I mostly declined - as I don't like to stay any one place too long!
Offed 2 guys from TB, both great company in NAB, but one only so-so in bed
TB gets a lot of chinese/taiwan visitors

Dreamboys:
Their Aicon was not working every time I went in - but I stayed despite that
Not as many cuties as previously, but still enough for me to off 2 guys over the duration of the trip
Again one came home but the other was despatched home after a guy (who was obviously his BF) turned up in TumnanIssan and started throwing dagger eyes at us!

Cupidol:
Cupidol has regained some of its former glory and have around 25-30 boys working there, nice election and again a really well run bar.
Some people love Mamasan M, others hate him, I generally trust him to steer me right on a good boy.

Kawaii: probably my 3rd favourite bar in pattaya now (after BBB and TB = Joint top), around 15 boys and all very friendly and funny, good place to go if you want to have some fun joking with the boys, some real characters there!

Vassa:
Usual 8-10 boys, didnt really see anyone I liked on 2 visists

Abomb:
8-10 boys, all straight and hunky. Not my thing, but seems to get quite a few customers most nights

Sunee:
Powerboys:
as the usual mix of fem/straight boys, seems they have a new "superstar" now, gets offed multiple times per night, looks very young and fem, but I am told he is actually 22.

Niceboys:
Seems to have dispensed with their gay boys and it was all rough straights on my 2 visits.

Sunny Boys:
Is a shadow if its former self and only had a few boys on both my visits, disappointing

Eros:
Really needs to do something about the smell in the bar, spraying air freshner does not help disguise the fact that there is a smell of a dead rat in the place! It could do with a good steam cleaning!

Jomtien:
I passed through Jomtien Complex on several occasions - but never stopped, all of the bars were packed every time we drove past... with boys of course (not customers Saw some nice eye candy on the way!

NAB:
NAB not as packed as it used to be, except on the weekend nights.
It was noticeable that the majority of tables had customers from Either BBB or TB at them
The BBB and TB guys get the offs (as they get the customer numbers) and in turn have money for going drinking
On one occasion I was the only farang in NAB! Never thought I would miss the Russian queens!

Tumnanissan:
We went twice and both times Aircon was not working, it was way to stuffy ad all our gang felt sleepy being there (too hot)... so of course we had to hit NAB instead
Most of the dancer boys in Tumnanissan seem to moonlight on hornet/grindr by day - and then dance at night

I think with the closure of Idol and Dave - Pattaya is still definitely missing competition to the big 2 night venues... hopefully something will materialize before High Season!

APPS:
Hornet is definitely winning the battle of the gay apps
Gay/Planet romeo have shot themselves in the foot by removing the free Plus Mmeberhsip for thai - it is practically a ghost town there now
Grindr/Jack come nowhere near Hornet in terms of numbers online
Blue'd seems to be the up and coming new star - especially for finding Chinese/Taiwan guys

I am sure i have some other random thought from ast trip that i will post later
