Pattaya

[goji]

would you recommend it over say Chiang Mai?

It depends on what you want from a holiday, which has not been explained.

If the requirement is to be bored shitless and almost to the point of suicide, then Chiang Mai wins hands down

Paying for sex is like the first time you drive an automatic car. It feels a little awkward at first and you're not exactly sure what to do. But then you realise it's the absolute best and never want to go back to manual.

I agree.
The "I don't want your money" guys can turn out to be an expensive type of free in the long term.

Also Thai prostitutes who, after spreading it for 2" Akito from Japan or limp John "Founty" Smith from London, are dying for a young, 7" throbbing Thai cock who will pound them to nirvana. I hear these venues are particularly popular with Thai women and gay men with farang husbands/sponsors. They have money to burn.

I have seen ladyboys-in-funds gathering boys around them in these bars.
I have also seen farangs with their wives there very obviously against their will.I think many of these women sneak back later for some fun.
In fact a Thai friend of mine who worked as an escort got into a fight with a farang in a bar on Sai Three. The usual thing happened: as long as he was winning nobody interfered but as soon as the farang started getting on top all the boys and security rushed in to break it up.
My friend was sacked however.
These bars stay open until 7 or 8 am.
Many of the boys become seriously addicted to drink working in these places.

Go for a gentle stroll. First wander through Sunee and Boystown and see the quality and behaviour of the boys. Then wander down to Soi 6 and take a look at the quality and behaviour of the girls. Both come from similar backgrounds but the boys are delightful and lovely whereas the girls are drunken slags. Be glad you're not straight.

I may not approve of references to "drunken slags" but then I'm an old-fashioned liberal.... nevertheless, Arsenal is absolutely right to compare this behaviour with that of "our" guys. Much the same can be said of the respective punters. Admittedly, judging from some comments from some posters on this message board you may think otherwise but I've seen very few unacceptable public incidents in over seventy visits to Pattaya.
And as for the go go dancers and the vast majority of others on the scene, I am struck not just by their good manners but the way in which they maintain a cheerful countenance in the most trying of circumstances. That, by the way, is a good old Victorian muscular Christian virtue of which Dr Arnold of Rugby would be proud.

Cine on guys, quit trying to hype Pattaya up. Call it what it is -- a sleazy shithole where you visit to get laid 3 times/day by hookers.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that, and I personally loved the sleaze. It was great fun. And quite obviously, loads of others enjoy the sleaze as well.

See to me if someone WAS trying to hype a place up to get my interest then THAT IS the EXACT description of the place that I'd be looking for ! :-)

Does anyone have a somewhat recent bar map of Pattaya. I have pretty good maps of sunee and Jomtien, I'm really interested in the walking street side of things. Are there gay bars and Gogo places outside boyztown? A link would be great
