The place seems to be moving into a comfortable niche in the Pattaya scene. I was there last night and it was standing room only and people who wanted seats being turned away.
The boys are muscled some sumo wrester, some bodybuilder and some athletic. Many are quite handsome.

The bar is small and seats about 40. The aircon is very good especially at the bar end. Seating is reasonably comfortable though there is a silly lack of space in some areas of the upper tier of banquettes. The small stage is 5 tiered - bit like an Olympic prize stand. The boys all snake dance enthusiastically all evening - none of this waving one leg limply in vague time to the music. The music is fine old fashioned ( none in the audience was less than grandfather age ) and all my friends have commented on that they like it and it's easy to converse.

Drinks are all 150 baht and the off fee is 400 baht and has been at the old and new Wild West for some considerable time. I doubt 100 baht one way or the other will change a decision by a keen customer. They do always ask if any boy that sits with you wants a drink. I say "No boy not like drink" and they go away. I then give the boy the 150 baht and tell him if he want to buy a drink that's OK. None has yet bought a drink. The boys get 40 baht from the house if you buy a drink for them.

I like it and so did my friend from the UK who is new to Pattaya. In his opinion the boys were more attractive then those seen at Bangkok's Future Boys, Dream Boys or Jupiter 2002 - I disagree about Jupiter where a new flood of athletic six packs delights many an eye.

They have a show at 11.15 and last night it was not up to much. The "magic' Mr Chang was away in Bangkok. There were 3 series of snake dancing - in paint, with candles and musclemen and then a very enthusiastic funny sadist show with the gutsy falling all over the place, including offstage, and shouting in mock pain as the rolled foam 'whip' was applied.

To be honest by 11 p.m. all the top totty was offed and some had left. If you like bigger boys then it's well worth a try but like all the bars there are on and off nights.
