    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.

    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.

    An interesting idea. Didn't Kevin hope to operate one when he opened Birds' Nest after Throb closed? It wouldn't have worked when we were last there (two years ago)....the Jomtien- Pattaya journey was arduous owing to the roadworks.

    The entire Sunee area- not just "our" part- declined when the shisha bars were closed , making the walk there through darkened and largely empty streets depressing. And unlike JC, it never had decent hotels. BT at its best was lively throughout the day, with guests at the three main hotels enjoying drinks on the terraces.

    Sunee was already on its last legs when the Arabs came and their presence did nothing for the few gay venues left and turned off many gay visitors with their racing about and there overall lack of manners.
