In 2024 Pattaya or Bangkok?

which one has the best opportunities to meet quality boys?

Pattaya clear winner. Online dating (if you can call it that, rather finding a moneyboy) is so much more straightforward in Pattaya than in Bangkok.

For gogo bars, the choice is better in Bangkok, but prices are considerably higher, you would pay about twice as much as in Pattaya (drink + off fee + expected short time tip 200+400+1000 = 1600 for Pattaya vs. 400+600+2000 = 3000 Bangkok, my estimates/averages; I haven't been to a gogo bar in Bangkok for years because no value for money for me).

Level of English / character / shared interests for sightseeing, I would say it doesn't make a difference. But for attitude I would choose Pattaya, many gogo bars in Bangkok display their boys as "models".

Expected fee for short time now is 3000B at the bars in silom.
2500B need some bargaining.

Is 1000B really possible at the bars in Pattaya?

I'm probably the least qualified to answer your question because I haven't paid for sex in years - but from what I understand from those who do the going rate of 1,500 THB for a short time in Pattaya hasn't changed in decades.

I imagine you could bargain your way down to 1,000 with some of the PTY boys - but if they're charging 3,000 in BKK - isn't half price good enough???

Bangkok always was too commercial for my taste - geared almost exclusively for short-time tourists who may not have enough time to travel to other destinations, or they're simply ignorant of the actual cost of things in the Magic Kingdom which is understandable.

I do most of my business online, and everyone eager for a repeat for 1000.
Toy Boys want 1500, and they don't budge, I tried twice and that's enough for me to skip.
Classic Boy even suggested 2000 for short time, but I think the waiter tried a high number and I would try there with 1000, and skip if whoever I set my eyes on does not go for 1000.
