Announcing New Boy Bar in Boyztown area Pattaya..

[snotface]

I remember being at Dongtan beach long ago, when Covid wasn't even a glimmer in a Chinese bat's eye, and overhearing a conversation between two farangs seated in the row in front of me. They were talking about owning gay bars and the risks involved. Finally one of them indicated the sea with a vague sweep of his arm and said something like, 'I'd rather throw my money out there, at least there's a chance that the tide might send some of it back to me.'

It has some appeal as a final business venture after a life of dreary graft - especially if you've had a nice little inheritance or other windfall to play with, that exceeds your retirement needs - money to play with.

As a get rich quick scheme - forget it..

Certain Pattaya bar owners are so generous in buying customers drinks, I suspect they don't have any interest in making more money. As long has they have enough stashed away to look after their own needs, good for them !

I don't know why so many bars think men with an average age of fifty or more want their eardrums assaulted..

I detest excessive music volume and that has been the case since I was in school. I remember getting to the door of that "Happy Place" bar near Boyztown and making it very clear to the doorman why I wasn't going any further.
In recent years, it's less of a problem. Winner Boys has music so quiet you can hear the conversation on the next table, whether you like it or not.
The only exception might be when some ignorant outdoor bar in the middle of Jomtien has a party with the speakers blaring.

Quite frankly Old Git they could play Russian funeral music at top volume if it meant that after 19 months away I could sit in Nice Boys with one of em draped naked all over me.

Is Russian funeral music that bad ?

Was he a rather portly gentleman by any chance?

The noise from in the bar was so excruciating, I didn't even notice the doorman.

These days, if a noisy new gogo opened, the choice of other bars is so thin I'd buy a some LARGE ear defenders from Mr DIY and go in the bar anyway. This would make the point:

He was very hard to miss! Lol

He ran a great bar - always listened to customer suggestions and continually tried to improve the bar.

As is often the case, or so it seems, he was let down by the guys who worked there. His acerbic personality also didn't assist.

Let's hope the new owner is also open to new ideas. No ladyboy lip-sync shows would be a good start.

I wish the new Boy Bar the best of luck. I'll be there when it opens to gladly make my donations...and could care less about the music volume.

Old people have a tendency to bitch and complain too much, and sometimes expect the world to rotate around their very needs. I told myself that I would never allow myself to get like this. So far, so good.

You've placed yourself in a city know for it's wild nightlife, and have the choice of either adapting to your environment, or going somewhere else where the environment is more conducive to your tastes.

There are plenty of bars that play soft music - you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Haha, I wondered if this new bar was going to be in the same premises. The old Happy Place !!
