2018 proved to be as depressing as expected in terms of Gayville Pattaya. Oscars went and is showing no signs of revival, especially since the main draw of watching the goings on at BBB now ends at 12.00am. Even Panorama Pub now appears to be on it's last legs. Ting Tong Red also went and this was perhaps the biggest shock. Clearly run by someone with energy, an eye for business and excellent customer skills it dominated the plaza and looked quite a solid enterprise. Krazy Pub also closed it's doors and so the delightful Frenchman who owned it is no longer part of the Sunee fixtures and fittings. Prisma also breathed it's last although to be air it was on life support for it's entire carnation. Rumours about Goodboys closing proved to be unfounded so for the time being it battles on.

On a brighter note I'm delighted that Eros is still managing to keep going even though it's a hand to mouth operation. The best thing to happen was the re-opening of Cafe Royal as Boys Music. It is Chinese money that funded it and if it succeeds then more will surely follow. Jomtien goes from strength to strength and this will continue for a while until the landlords decide to cut themselves a larger slice of the action as lease renewals come up. A go go bar or two down there would really cement it's position and it can be done because Monty did it.

Let's hope for a good 2019.
Happy New Year everyone.
