Jomtien Complex A.K.A. Supertown A.K.A. God’s Waiting Room

[Dodger]

Thanks everyone; I am reassured. But other posters, I'm sure, will recognise the anxiety I feel regarding what should be my first visit in over two years.

Don't worry, all that pent up anxiety will vanish immediately the first time you put your arms around HIM.

A nice thought!

Last night the bars in Jomtien Complex were closing down in the run up to 23.00. Previous nights some were packing up before 23.30 while others were still going strong.

The owner of Double Shot Bar returned to Belgium and his return date is uncertain. Some of his staff have been working at the bars across the soi from Double Shot, but not seeing them shirtless most nights in Double Shot has been disappointing during Songkran.

It must have been over a year since I walked through the Complex but I went tonight and saw some new places and some boys who I hadn’t seen in years as they used to work in Sunee and a couple that once worked in Nice Boys. It was about 9PM not a customer under 60 and not once did I see a boy that was a stunner however, I can understand that all these geriatrics are there to socialize and good for them that they have such a place.

I have seen many geriatics in Sunee over the years,long before Jomtien complex.Without them some of these places would not survive.

Even in the Good Old Days, gay Pattaya was a haven for the over fifties, with a few -very few- youngsters staying in the new Year period.

I met one of them in the lift at Ambiance and asked him how he liked Pattaya. Not at all, was the response, he wanted clubs with young Thais, not bars and mbs. I suspect that the straight sex scene is much the same.

I believe he is returning in June. That is also when some of the staff will return from Isaan.

The term "geriatric" is basically an offensive term when applied to older persons. As well as many other terms such as elderly, geezer, old timer, etc. There seems to be few words with a positive slant in English that I am aware to refer to older persons although "venerable" has a positive connotation. Fortunately the Thais/Asians don't seem to have negative feelings toward older people and treat them with the respect they deserve.
