I just tried to check on the "Dreaded Ned" website about some of the Pattaya bars discussed in this forum.
But found that it has been closed. What website[s] provide similar listings of gay venues in Thailand?

travelgayasia (most up-to-date)
utopia-asia
both .com
Bali (Indonesia), Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos: gay guides and companions http://siamroads.com
The supply of these web sites has thinned out considerably in recent years. Nicky's site was good & well maintained, but seems to have disappeared. Obviously not a particularly lucrative business.
I do try to chip in with occasional updates to google maps, but this is only scratching the surface and it needs quite a few travelers to do the same to cover all cities.
Of course, any idiot can find Boyztown, but good map information becomes more important when looking for one bar in some obscure suburb of a Thai town.
And the fact that Thais cannot draw a map to save their lives!

Sad to see DreadedNed close
Long before Sawatdee and GayThailand forums, it was the go to forum for all things gay Thailand related
Eventually when Ned closed his forum people migrated to PattayaGay and the original GayButton forums... before eventually settling here after Allen and GB closed their original boards

Some people may have done so, but those who have no interest in Pattaya did not, and soon found SGT's predecessor Forum which unlike the two you mentioned thrived, in particular because of its hands-off attitude to the sort of control that the Grand Ayatollah imposes on his board
The evidence for this is overwhelming

And what exactly was the SGT predecessor Forum? surely it was PattayaGay... it was probably one of the most successful boards... until Allen decided to shut it down and Smiles created the first incarnation of a Sawatdee board?
I'm sure Smiles will pop up soon enough to confirm the order in which things happened and settle your muddled memories!

So can you name this magical hands-off "utopia" board... or will you be struck down for daring to mention it?
Might it be that you were not welcome on the Pattaya board?
(Pretty much like you were not welcome here until the current owner allowed allowed back - for some peculiar reason)
