    I wouldn't know how. Most of us have seen the decline over the years and with Double-shot closed, it is more than another nail in the coffin. Winner and Nice Boys are different from anything you could find in Boystown but can they survive so isolated?

    The best thing for the gogo scene in Pattaya would be if all bars move to the same area, wherever that may be.

    yes...why not all bars from boystown move to sunee plaza...sunee plaza would be big enough for that...i think this is the only way to survive for sunee and boystown

    Here's a thought for all those "gay friends of Pattaya" - pool all your resources, buy up all the bars that aren't in Sunee already, relocate them to Sunee (remembering to set aside money for refurbishment of the premises you're moving into) and then ensure that no-one can move into the premises you've just vacated and open a new gay bar because they have a different idea about how and where to make money.

    That may not work because both areas cater to different tastes.

    Outlet stores sell a very wide range merchandise for different tastes, be it shoes, clothes, etc...

    The idea is that owners can offer customers drinks at a reduced rate (take Winner as an example) and bars can profit from each other's customers.

    Sunee needs plenty of boys at attention and at various stages of erection in order to draw the teetotalers as well as the drunkards into the bars...

    All a fire needs is a single burning ember to get it started, and I believe there are several burning embers in Sunee now.

    Most of the expats and visitors that I know (including myself) prefer the atmosphere that Sunee provides over The Complex and are just waiting for the lights to go on.

    Don't get me wrong...I'm grateful that The Complex has made the investment that it has and is positioned so well, but, as far as I'm concerned, NOTHING could ever take the place of Sunee.

    Can booze bring it back? It can certainly get those embers glowing.

    I would like to think there will be more “embers” but look at the facts: Sunee was successful because of it’s many sleazy GoGo bars which brought many punters not all geriatrics which is the customer base in the Complex, without a good reason for foreigners of a broad age group to come just reopening a few bars will hardly make the “embers glow”.

    Swings and roundabouts. Not so long ago Jomtien was a graveyard with few bars lasting more than a year and Sunee bounced like The Village People on crack cocaine. A couple more go go bars and the magic could return. A free hourly shuttle between the two would benefit the bars in both areas.
