The LIST of GAY BARS and GOGO's in PATTAYA from 1980 till now

[christianpfc]

That business model deserves to fail and fail fast.

Reminds me of a google maps customer review on a Chiang Mai massage place, where apparently the customer couldn't get to see the massage boys until after paying. The correct response is to go elsewhere.

Common Massage by chance? I had a similar experience there, see my upcoming post in my blog (Gay Activities December 2019).

Similar experience in the the gogo bar that was in the basement of Wall Street Tower (diagonally across the entrance of Soi Twilight). Within a year, that place changed name and business model several times before finally closing. I tried to enter at least once and doorman would not let me in unless I pay upfront (which I didn't).

Eighteen months ago, the procedure at Common Massage was to pay up-front for the massage and then pay the masseur after the event. However, the masseur was chosen before the transaction. There about eight to choose from in mid-afternoon. Perhaps this has changed.

Last October I noticed a unique signage in English and Chinese in the gaily lit Walking Street. A tout was quick to grab my arm and led me twenty metres into a side street to a brightly decorated bar, but we were refused entry unless we paid 300b for a drink. A few minutes later we tried to enter just for a look and luckily this time the doorman relented. Maybe it was still too early but anyhow the room was empty, with just a bare, low and small stage near the entrance. There were fully clothed boys sitting at the tables outside. Had I paid for the drinks I suppose the boys would have come to the stage inside. Since I was not keen to wait until 2am for the place to come to life, I bid farewell to the tout and never came back. I guess the bar was meant for ladies looking for male company. When I returned in December the signage was gone.

Hahaha, that trick. I fell for that once in a gogo in Bangkok. DJ station had not yet expended to the opposite side and this gogo bar opposite had a separate entrace. We had to buy a drink before we could go in. That's what we did and once inside it was empty. 2 boys scrambled in onto the stage and that was it. Horrible...but we laughed it off en went back to DJ.

TNT Bar was a great place after the bars closed.

Niddy's Nook (later Office Boy).

I had completely forgotten about there! I remember Niddy's BF used to post on this board praising it as the "Home of Pattaya's Tastiest Cheeseburger"!

My first visit to a go go bar in Pattaya on my first trip here in 1985 or maybe it was 86 - it was listed in Spartacus Guide as Club 69 as I recall.

Some responses....

D) Tree Zone is probably Three Zone, Sunee....at least sounds more likely!

F) According to Michael Burchill, Buddy's became Mandate/My Life/Oscars

G) Dangs was in Sunee


H) Eaw's was in 2nd Road, opposite Mike's...which Michael refers to as the "new" Mike's. I suspect that is the one next to Boyztown...it was certainly the home of Many Boys, one of the few places on the list which I actually visited!

J) "South Pattaya Road ,north of Junction with with North Road....."

[Halcyon]

Thanks for D, F and H.

Any idea where in Sunee " Dangs' was? My guess is in the longest Soi (Soi 1) next to Rainbow Bar.

J. is impossible it's 1) South Pattaya Road, north of junction with Sai 3 or 2) it is 2nd Road, north of junction with North Road, that makes it in Naklua. My guess is nr.1

But you're helping a lot , thanks
