Thanks for all the friendly advice. It’s going to be interesting to see what Pattaya is like and if I will enjoy it as much while the bars most likely are closed. Rarely ever did I use the apps so this will be my maiden voyage into that area, luckily this forum is rife with suggestions how to handle that.
As for location I have chosen the Baan Souy, they were quick to reply to questions and are nicely halfway between the boyztown/sunee area and Jomtien.
I hope like me some other forum members might start up going to Thailand again so that we can switch from somber musings about what was to new riveting trip reports with hopefully some juicy details!
