Pattaya report, July 2018

[a447]

If the situation in Pattaya does not improve, I'll only visit when my guy is in town.

The final straw for me was Boyzboyzboyz - it is but a shadow of its former glory. The new owner obviously decided to change direction and as a gay man, it now offers me nothing. I can see more attractive fully-dressed guys on Beach Road - no need to pay 280 baht for the privilege.

And although the Tiffany show is entertaining, I'm here to see guys, not ladyboys, cocks, not tits. And now that the cocks have virtually disappeared, there is no reason for me to return.

Tonight we after dinner we went to Starbucks as usual. After covering a bewildering number of topics ( including the G7 meeting and Asian history!), he started telling me about his early life and how he ended up in a gay bar in Pattaya.

He was born into a very poor family and daily life was a real struggle. At the age of 13 he wanted a bicycle, as all his friends had one. But the family couldn't afford it so he decided to go to work and earn some money to buy one. After 3 months he had saved enough to buy a second-hand one and was able to join his mates cycling everywhere.

At the age of 19 he decided he wanted a motorcycle, and he worked hard to buy a second-hand one. He was ripped off by the motorcycle shop, who charged him 49,000 baht for a bike that was only worth 29,000. Not growing up with money he had no idea about making such a large purchase. The owner took advantage of his youth, inexperience and shy disposition.

"What did you do? Did you pay the 49,000?"

"Yes. I just work harder. Bad experience make me strong."

A friend then suggested he go to Bangkok to look for work. He found a job in construction, but being of slight build, he only lasted about a month before going home, where he worked as a car detailer. But it was a dead-end job and the money was barely enough to live on. He worked 9 hours for the princely sum of 150 baht per day.

Then out of the blue he got a phone call from a friend groom guys home town who was working in Happy Boys, just outside Sunee Plaza. He encouraged him to join him and after hearing how much money his friend was making, he got straight on the bus. Instead of 150 baht for 9 hours work, he could make 1,000 in 30 minutes! And 300 in 5 minutes if it was a chuck-wow.

"How did you feel on your first night working in Happy Boys?"

"You know I shy. And straight not gay. I have to wear skirt and customer can lift skirt and see my cock! Then customer touch my cock! OMG! I tell my friend I go home. I cannot work here. I cannot get hard for customer."

But he was shocked by the amount of money he made that night, just from tips from drinks and customers playing with his cock.

After his first night he had made more in less than an hour than he'd made in a week back home!

He was hooked - there was no turning back.

With stunning looks, slim body and that huge cock he had many offs every week. Suddenly he had more money than he knew what to do with. His life had turned 180 degrees.

He now regrets the way he spent his new-found wealth; he squandered it and did not send much home to his mother. He still feels guilty about neglecting her, although he certainly made up for it later. I never knew him in his free-spending days; ever since I've known him he has always deposited the money from me in the ATM when we go out for dinner. Unlike many of the guys, he doesn't party. And he no longer drinks -a bonus for me considering my recent experience in Bangkok.

As a result of the owner's financial troubles and a staff member allegedly helping herself to money from the till every night, Happy Boys eventually closed. That's when he moved on to Nice Boys.

The mamasan spoilt it for him - she was always asking boys for a cut of the customers' tips. If the boys refused she would physically abuse them. When a customer entered the bar she would only recommend the boys who paid her.

So he left and went to Eros.

I met him outside Queen Bar one night after work. He was with a guy I had offed earlier in the evening. The next night I went to Eros and had my first look at his endowment. We had a long chat and it became immediately obvious that he was someone truly special.

This time I was the one hooked. I also have never looked back.

He was one of the most popular boys in Eros and had multiple offs every week. So he called his younger brother to join him. Unfortunately, he missed out in the cock department and couldn't speak a word of English, but being such a nice guy he still did well.

A farang friend of his decided to open a new bar - Sunny Boys - and persuaded him to move bars. His brother followed him. Being straight, he was very embarrassed at being asked to wear a G-string with his arse on full display.

When Sunny Boys folded he moved back home and got into the fish farming industry. He spent 20,000 baht to buy the fish but in the end only made 4,000 baht in 6 months.

"Ok, I try and I fail. It make me strong. No problem."

He applied for a job at Boyzboyzboyz. He was told to go to the toilet and get hard. They were impressed with what they saw but told him he needed to bulk up.

On my suggestion he went to work at Cupidol but didn't like the way he, and others, were treated. Mamasans have so much power over the boys.

So he has ended up in Jomtien Complex. He makes a reasonable living but of course, the income is not reliable and nowhere near the money he had been making earlier.

I asked him if he would consider returning to Eros.

"No, never! I have you, so enough for me."

And more than enough for me!
