Sunee Plaza nostalgia

[newalaan2]

I'm weeping! What a change. I had forgotten how alive it was back then.

Its enough to make you weep!

Nice reminder 'gerefan' but let's face it, we may as well weep for Pattayaland soi 1-3, especially soi 1, the whole of the Day/Night area which had as many venues as Sunee does now back in the day, including a row of 6 karaoke/dance clubs, Saphan Kwai around Soi 20, the two main gay areas in Chiang Mai, Paradise Complex in Phuket, Soi 6 Silom/Surawong...and soon to be Soi Twilight, Bkk..... ALL fallen away dramatically over the last decade.

Only area to buck the trend? One Soi in Jomtien it seems!!

Another video of Sunee when it was the greatest gay place and yes the difference between then and now is unbelievable......

Your memory is playing tricks...it was NEVER the 'greatest' anything..........ever! But at times from late 90's to around 2005/6-ish, it was as you righty say 'unbelievable' but for ALL the wrong reasons......

My memory is quite vivid and after living here now and through the peak of Sunee I have long since stopped making moral judgements......yes it has died like so many other gay places in L.O.S. but it remains if in memory only a fantastic place.

You can live with your limits of what were peaks/acceptable behaviour/moral judgements and I'll live with mine, but we can agree on one thing, we have our own memories of when Sunee was indeed a fantastic place, maybe for different reasons/different time scale and leave it at that.

Personally, mine was from 2005 through 2012 as their best times, as the underage and addicts/urchins/thugs had been swept away and in their place was a vibrant welcoming and very busy area with lots of gogo and host bars. For the 2000-2005 period, the Day/Night area 3 Sois was far-and-away my favourite hang-out as it had the whole range of attractions, Agogos, host bars, karaokes, dance clubs with plenty freelance boys who didn't work in the gogos, live music pub, massage, and hotels/guesthouses.

Despite it's more recent flurry of closures (Crazy pub/Duks/Yayas/Come In/Blue Chilli/Marine/AllOfMe/NewQueens...TingTongRed etc etc..) Sunee remains my main area for visiting even now, and as I only come for 10-12 days of a Thailand trip at a time to Pattaya, there's more than enough entertainment/interest for me in it's current format, for me it hasn't died.....just yet, although for long-termers/expats it might be a different story. So as long as the 4 Agogs, Euro Boys, Forest Bar, Ouds, Diamond, Eden, Rainbow, Sky, Double Shot, Green Chair/sunee bar, Good Boys, One Bar, Elephant, continue to trade I'll still be there.
