Why Did Happy Boys Die?

[gerefan2]

For some reason, I always thought Happy Boys was owned by Neal, the previous owner of SGT?

Are you thinking of Happy PLACE?

Are you thinking of Happy PLACE?

I have no idea. Didn't Neal own a bar? I've never even heard of a bar called Happy Place.

Isn't Happy Boys that one where the boys wear those loose fitting boxer type shorts, and rotate around the tables every few mins a couple to each table? For some reason, I thought Neal owned that one.

Not sure why, but I never really liked that place. I think it's because I prefer to see all the guys together, chatting and joking with each other a little bit, etc. Instead of being isolated from their peers to stand on an individual table like that.

[gerefan2]

There were 2 bars. Where were you?

Happy BOYS was just outside Sunee Plaza.

Happy PLACE was just outside Boyztown. Owned by BIG Neal.

Your description of boys standing on individual tables indicates you were in Happy BOYS, which was not Neals bar.

Ohhh, that's why I didn't know it. I never really liked BoyzTown. Too commercial for me.

I much preferred the off the cuff sleaze that Sunnee provided, haha.

I thought that the owner had previously owned Jungle Boys or Legun as it became. More likely Legun in Sunee.

Not sure of this, and happy (?!) to be corrected.

I understood that Happy Boys closed due to lack of profits (location?) and that the owner returned to Europe.

I think it died a natural death along with the rest of Sunee.

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.

I went to Happy Boys many times, but for its isolated location it was at the end of my list. I would go to bars within Sunee or Boystown first.

That sounds like Krazy Dragon.
