Back to the topic of available boys in Pattaya..
I walked by Tukcom and the massage parlor just across from the rear exit had several lads. One clever lad made it abundantly
clear we could go inside. When I said I couldn’t, he said maybe tomorrow.
I was on my way to Royal House and there were 5 or 6 Thais outside. One, who I know was hot to trot. I don’t think the other
Thai men were massage boys but rather owners/staff or just hanging out. This was late afternoon around 5pm.
There are risks but there is availability.
Back during the restrictions in January 2021, there were several massage shops with boys open in Jomtien and near Tuk Com. Sometimes discretely open, sometimes blatantly, even when the police walk past.
Back then, the number of cases per day in the whole of Chonburi was often less than one per day, so I think the risk was minimal, for me as an unvaccinated farang in his 50s.
Perhaps with the increased number of covid cases now, a little more care is needed for a few weeks ?
The massage is certainly hit & miss. I had some very good massages and some bad, one lasting 20 minutes. Obviously I only return to the good shops and after the 20 minute experience, started clarifying how long the 60 minute massage lasts in advance.
It must be me...but I swear I haven't seen a single policeman (BIB) in Pattaya for close to 10 months now...not anywhere. Jai said it's probably because they've all been bused up to Bangkok to help with the protests.
I was talking to Gi (owner Relax Me Massage) by Tukcom several months ago and he said they would stay open as long as there were customers. The lights inside have been turned off now during the lockdown, but there are approx. 6 massage boys still living on the upper level who would be delighted to service you. .

I saw some in the winter months, but there is also less action to police, so perhaps fewer of them.
There were a load of them doing some daft drill outside their building by Central
I saw a couple of them walk past an open massage shop near Tuk Com, back when such facilities were supposed to be closed.
Another one manning a police box, in direct line of sight of a presumably lady massage place.
Plus some others on motorcycles, including one visiting Pattaya Post office. On a street where bars were flouting the closure rules.
