Why Did Happy Boys Die?

[Armando]

Location, location, location....one hundred and fifty metres is a huge distance for a Pattaya bar-fly!

I agree the location was not ideal. Indeed it was a few visits before I even knew it existed.

But as it seems to have had a degree of popularity among the few posters here, presumably it had other customers. If the owner did not leave the country, I'd have thought moving the bar into Sunee might surely have increased its clientele. Never been to Winner and so cannot compare. I just know that there was a lot of interaction between the boys in Happy Boys, they did more than a shot-shoe shuffle and actually smiled a lot - so unusual in so many bars - and they were very friendly. Most of all they seemed to be enjoying themselves and it was infectious.

I think in "normal" times Happy Boys may have survived, but when they first opened Sunee was SOOOOOO HOT that there was very little reason for anyone to stumble outside the Sunee Circle.
