    The show at Boyz Music last night was so vibrant and full of energy that some members of the audience were literally throwing money at the stage.

    In the words of Barry Manilow this place is currently "The hottest spot North of Havana." *

    Actual geography is Havana is 10 degrees north of Pattaya.

    Who is Barry Manilow, a geographer?

    Except our ambassador is French Canadian and to my understanding that is about as French as a Patpong Rolex is to the real one.

    Re: Reportage

    You had me worried, Arsenal, when I read the origainal post. The Shamrock Bar, as we all know, is opposite Penthouse Hotel and hosts the same bored neanderthals slugging on their Singhas, while slagging off the gay guys 'round the corner.

    I'm sure I've written about this bar before: it's the pits, in my opinion. You want to hear them: "Fuc@@@@ poofters" etc.etc.

    Here is what I wrote back inFeb 2017....

    About five years ago I was staying at the Café Royale in Pattayaland Soi 3, when, during the night or during the previous evening, I was bitten by something. I have never worked out whether it was a spider, mosquito or mamasan – all of them equally poisonous. There were two distinctive puncture wounds side by side on the top of the foot and another a little way up on the lower shin. I didn’t think much about it and the next day I set off for a quick drink at that bar directly opposite the Cattery (Penthouse) in Soi 2, where there is always a small group of the barely breathing (all with well lived-in faces) sitting at the little bar by the pavement, slagging off those of us who frequent Boyztown. Have you ever sat there and listened to that group (who resemble a troupe of actors promoting Last of the Summer Wine)? Why? Why do I frequent those places, which I do once or twice on each trip to Thailand? Another is the Sin Bin Irish bar in Soi 1. Why do I go there? Why the bloody hell do I go there and drink two or three beers before dinner when quite clearly it’s a hetero bar where one would be well advised not to disclose one’s sexuality!
    “You’re staying where?”
    “Café Royale.”
    “But that’s a hotel for fuc……..”

    I think I make these occasional expeditions into the dire ‘straights’ just to take a breather from the gay scene with its screechy ladyboys and greedy mamasans. I wonder if any of you ever do the same. Do you ever feel that you just want to sit quietly in a bar that is not specifically gay and relax over maybe one or two drinks before returning to the chase?
    I sat and listened to the tripe from those propping up that bar in Soi 2 and found myself shaking my head in despair at the level of conversation, some of which was directed at the gay community around the corner. They have a new name perhaps it’s not a new name, but I have never heard it before) for gays: “Poodle walkers!!” How many of us have bloody poodles? I have never seen a poodle anywhere near Boyztown! Imagine the looks and comments as you march confidently into the Ambiance with a huge French poodle on a leash!! The Soi 2 bar? Awful and the menu is farcical; littered with nuances and bylines such as: Big Breakfast - if the cook can be bothered to cook it! I have promised myself never, never to return to that place. Why the hell didn’t I cross the road to chat to Dudley – a gentleman, and very welcoming where gay clientele are concerned, although the Cattery is awash with frighteningly muscular heteros!

    Illogical reasoning.

    Re: Reportage

    Epilogue.

    Well another great visit. It started with a most enjoyable vignette, arriving at 5.00am the immigration was deserted and one of the officers was dozing. I have him a big loud HELLO and he woke with a slight start but saw the funny side. I was actually laughing as I looked at the camera which I think you're not supposed to do.

    Offs data. I had 7 offs and 2 masseur.
    The offs.

    LJ. I've had him before from Toy Boys and he was fine without excelling. I told him I remember him smoking better last time but he replied that I must be thinking of some one else as he always does it that way. Great reply and nothing to argue with so good for him.

    T. A 4 times off from Nice Boys. Always great company and his spanking hot new motorcycle proves the Desperados are happy and returning customers.

    S. A new addition to the legendary Arsenal's club class, also from Nice Boys. Lean and lythe with a broad smile his kissing was passion beyond the call of duty and he could use his mouth the impart ecstasy in the other areas. An exceptionally skilled practitioner.

    O. A third time off, also from Nice Boys he is the absolute cutest of cute boy next door types. Floppy haired and never not smiling a couple of hours with him is always great fun. He also possesses perhaps the world's pertest arse.

    N. Collected him from X-Boys. Rather classically good liking without an ounce of body fat I'd had him for a massage in RH previously. He speaks little English but who the fuck cares when he behaved as if he'd offed me and was going to get his money's worth. He literally followed me while I was making us both coffee and started doing his thing again. Magnifique.

    T. He'll get a piece 'T and I' sometime in the future.

    M. The times offed before, this time from X-Boys and I would describe him as good value. He performs well and has a nice personality. Only recently teturned from Laos he speaks very hood but there's always something that comes with him. IE he wants to eat as soon as you off him or he asks for money to buy cigarettes or he asks for more money in the room. Oh well.

    The masseur's.

    N. Quite muscly I found him at RH but he also works at Dreamboys. His massage, as I've written before was amazing being firm, sensual and a pleasure for the whole hour. Sexually he was right on the money and so this customer was very satisfied.

    W. My favourite massage boy of all time I enjoyed his unique services twice and so becomes the first escort worker to be lucky enough to enjoy my company 10 times. His massage is sublime with his own W 'special' and his conversation is worth the tip by itself. Whereas others talk about the usual stuff W goes through his monthly accounts explaining how much this and that costs compared to last month or year. His constant irritation at the cost of living and his so precise maths calculations are a joy to listen to. He can also talk about world politics and will happily discuss Thailand and it's future as well as US/Sino relations and his view of Brexit. Beautiful boy.

    Final dose of pleasure as I was leaving, also at the airport. SInce my first solo trip to Morocco many years ago I've always found that a polite, well spoken Englishman giving a nice 'hello' and a smile will receive VIP treatment wherever he goes in the world. This is my experience and it's my experience again and again. At Swampy I was delighted that the check in lady searched long and hard to find me 3 seats together so a good sleep was possible. (no business class with Spring Airlines but they fly direct to my local aerodrome) At security I was waved through and had a lovely laugh and a joke with the lady while the middle easterners were all given thorough goings over with the bomb detector. At Burger King I was embarrassed for two (dunno where from) blokes who managed to place and receive their entire order without using either the words please or thank you.

    Yep. An Englishman abroad is a good thing to be.
