Decided on Jomtien but need some opinions

[paborn]

Before anyone yells at me, I have searched the forum, read trip advisor and each blog, even looked at youtube videos.

I have decided to base myself in Jomtien for my next visit and have narrowed it to Agate, Venue or Poseiden. Can the forum give me some opinios or views of the three places - in short, where would you stay?

IMHO:

Agate: classical Thai hotel, close to European 4-stars, very gay-friendly.
Venue: classical gay-hotel, European 3-stars
Poseidon: less "gay" than Venue but still gay-hotel, at past was more "luxury" than Venue but still 3-stars, I didn't visit it over 5 years, and don't know if it is still has some "posh" flavor.

By my taste: is better to live on the beach - I mean in "the first line" hotels (Tui's, Avalon, Rabbit resort, BB House, 3 of 4 have pools) since I daily spend more time there than in J-Complex. I prefer to watch sunsets and sea, instead of hot and empty (most time of the day) soi.

Thanks Moses I appreciate the breakdown. Funny how peo[le differ; I've been to the Carribean island of Dominican Republic more than 100 times over thirty years and have only once been to the beach. I'm a total city person!

Personally I do not like the Complex because the large percent of fem twinks workng there are not my cup of tea however, considering the current rather dismal state of Sunee and Boystown I would agree it is the best place to stay.

I picked up an extremely dark skinned boy from the DR in Arcos Bar in Torremolinos maybe 20 years ago - in my ignorance I asked if it was in Africa - he was not amused "Africa? No - they are BLACK" he protested! So was he near enough

well, having admitted that I have never been to Jomtien what would you expect my state of knowledge to be? I was not "born full formed from the mind of Zeus." I have to learn and seek guidance, it's a pity you can't help. Perhaps your never had the funds to patronize a hotel - guest houses only?

I'm not sure how I've provoked you. I had thought you reasonable.

After several invasions from Haiti with rape and pillage the population of the DR has changed to mulatto and the datred of Dominicans for Haitians is intense. You hit a sore spot indeed.
