Go ahead .... you have no idea how much work it was to make the list as it is now .... to find all the years of opening and the number of boys (as they come and go) is impossible ....

And what about to create a guide of the ACTUAL open GOGOboys bars ?Originally Posted by Halcyon
Nice Boys, Winner Boys, X-Boys, Dream Boys, Boyz Boyz Boyz, A Bomb, I think that's all there is now. In the Complex no gogo's are allowed. That was easy
The newest bar in the Complex, where 2Donna used to be is called B.N. Bar. They are busy with the interieur, but my guess is that it will still take some weeks before it will open
Looking through some old gay magazines picked-up in Bangkok (Max, Variety, Spice and so on), I came across advertisements for a gogo bar called "David" in Pattayaland Soi 1, circa 2012. The photo suggests that it may have replaced Sawatdee or perhaps Thai Boys.
Cross referencing it with the list on this site, I read the following....
"David Boys Bar before Gentleman Club was in the 1st Soi in Boyz Town in the middle..."
Are we talking about the same bar? David was certainly a short-lived contributor to the scene. Judging from the photos, cute guys though! Gentleman was from a different era entirely..
David and David Boys Bar were not the same. David Boys Bar was closed before the end of the last century. David might have been were X Boys is now. Couldn't and can't find David. Probably very short lived and I wouldn't be surprised if the owner of David Boys Bar moved to the place you mentioned under the name David for a short time, but if you know more, please answer.
David bar was in the location that is currently occupied by X-Boys.
The gaudy fake Roman pillars and red curtains were part of the David theme
I never entered David and, as I said, my memory was only jogged by that 2012 magazine. Colmx may well be right; he has more confidence than me in his recollections. I'd also suggest that the premises may have been associated with Star Boys when it moved from across Pattaya Second Road to Boyztown. I think that was a short-lived operation, too.
Below is a pic of Star boys when it was located in Boyztown (Pattayaland).
I thought it was Sawatdee Gogo that moved into that location after renovating the property and doubling its size. Nueng, who was the handsome and very charismatic mamasan of Star Boys took the position of manager of Sawatdee Gogo. This was back when Thai Boys Boys Gogo, Dream Boys, and Wild West Club seemed to be drawing the largest crowds on the Pattayaland sois.
The fact that the names and ownerships of these places were in a constant state of flux, coupled with the fact that this was two decades ago, I could be off on my recollections, but I seem to recall X Boys moving into the old Gentlemen's Club digs around the same time that Thai Boys Boys and Moonlight House (located at the end of the same soi - facing Second Road) closed.
Wonderful but painful memories.

And again a new bar will open in the Complex as the ex-owner of Cupidol (Boyz Town) told me; and Cupidol will not open again, well at least not by the ex-owner. The new bar will be where Akha Bar used to be in the 2nd street of the Complex. The name is yet not known. It is supposed to open in the end of this month.
