Dodger do you live here as I do? Or are like catawhatever reading the Pattaya crystal ball from afar?

hereforme...to answer your question: I live in Thailand and work in America.

Last holiday I walked down to the pool at Chateau Dale for my mid-day splash and noticed a group of 5 farangs sitting under an umbrella table. I recognized all of them, as they reside year-round at Chateua Dale and can be seen lounging at pool-side every single day between the hours of 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. As always, I smiled and said hello as I strolled by - only this time decided to ask them a question in a joking manner. I asked them why they never went in the water? They reacted by grinning at each other whilst squirming around a bit nervously in their chairs, when one of them finally replied..."we don't know how to swim."

, I would like some more advice on how to enjoy my one week before heading to Patong till after Songkran.


I like are normally small, non fem and if possible at least speak a little english and like long term a few days if we get on rather than just short term,

I actually don't drink too much, is there any where that ex pats hang out in the evening that are friendly can have a chat not necessary to pick up any men.

Thanks

Hi Cliffy

a few suggestions
first go to gayaffairspattaya.com and download the maps all 6

Daytime to meet other non thais

In Sunee have breakfast at twoguys there are always guys dropping in who will chat with you and give some good pointers. If you go to the beach then drop into Bondi for breakfast or lunch . On the beach there are a lot of people who will chat. Locals tend to get there earlier than tourists. Dicks cafe in Jomtien is also another day time place to meet people.

A lot of people go to Sansuk Sauna which has a pool ,bar and restaurant and fun rooms upstairs late afternoon early evening. Mosaik does not have a pool or bar to meet other residents.
It is starting to quite hot then get so the shaded area besides the pool very pleasant

at night time in Sunee, add La Cage to the places Dodger says to meet friendly expats and be made welcome. In Boyztown ad Oscars

For friendly boys start at Happy Boys in Sunee at bottom of map and in Boyztown Funny Boys and A Bomb

But I cannot understand why you are coming to Pattaya and want to hang around with expats

cheers for the additional information lonelywombat I will download the maps, I enjoy meeting and talking to new people when away and also after 7 years of going to Thailand like the idea of getting a place one day so speaking to expats about experiences all helps.

Two minds with but a single thought - most unusual.

Only reason I come to Pattaya (Jomtien actualy) is because I love the beach, nothing better than sleeping until 8, spending an hour on the internet, late breakfast, then making my way to Dongtang beach and crashing on those padded loungers, ordering a beer or 2 or 3, reading a book and watching the passing trade.

Major downside is that all the good sex is rent and the shows in boys town are all drag/cabaret, no good fuck shows like in BKK, but then we have the beach!!

2nd major downside is how old everyone is on the beach, wall to wall jurassic park in speedos and toupes....scary...good thing i have 30years to go before I get to that stage.

Phuket, too dirty, too expensive, nasty, grasping people.

Bali, real nice, good beaches, and a civilized bar scene where "normal" cruising can and does take place.

Well that my 2 cents worth of opinion..

In 20 years the only times I have seen bar boys get excited by a male entering their bar, was for a blond, blue eyed twink in his late teens and on a number of times black men, usually servicemen.

Assuming you are in reasonable condition you could be in for the ride of your life.

You asked about DJ Station which is in Bangkok. One of the maps I suggested you download, gives you the late night venues of which NAB seems to be the most popular. If that is your scene and you plan more than 1 night , buy from the bar a bottle of Johnny Walker and when you leave they give you a receipt for your bottle to collect for the next visit. Invite the dancers or others to join you . A good way to start friendships.

He's been coming to Thailand for seven years, for crying out loud - he really doesn't need someone else's guess as to how popular or not he's going to be!

You meant "rooting" the passing day trade...

Bali hey?... I wonder if that's worth visiting. Only a short hop from here.
