I found the hetrosexual areas of Pattaya are booming,with many new investments in Go Go bars,whilst the Go Go bars in the gay scene have declined .
I also found the LadyBoy bars that operated far outside the gay areas were doing far better with customers than the gay bars in the gay areas.

Let me tell you, young man, there is nothing worse in this world than emerging from Boyztown after a wonderful evening of world-class entertainment featuring Maisie Trollette, Davina Sparkles, Miss Falkirk, and Dolly John, to find that all the prostitutes have been taken off for free sex by these good looking asian teenagers/20somethings. My God it makes me mad!!! Fortunately, with the Alzheimer's, most of us have forgotten about it within 20 minutes anyway and we go back to talking about WW2.
As for your 2 friends who went off to BKK for free sex, good luck to them! According to one young whippersnapper who posts here, as soon as they hear his plane is touching down, the boys in BKK are lubing themselves up in order to give him free sex that night, so I guess your 2 friends will get their hole no bother at all.
But I fear your Chinese friend en route to Phuket will need to open his wallet as readily as he opens his legs to get any action there. Boys in Phuket make the Pattayan boys look like philanthropists.
Bah, Humbug

Gay businesses in Pattaya are dominated by and focused on the commercial sex scene. If you go to Siem Reap (Cambodia), you'll see a heap of gay entrepreneurs who've creatively developed some fantastic hospitality/entertainment businesses outside the commercial sex scene... There are some really nice bars, restaurants, hotels, spas and such founded by gay entrepreneurs there. This kind of thing may attract a younger gay audience... and by "young" I'm not just talking about gays in their 20s only.Originally Posted by tonyfromkent64
I was talking about my friends. I didn't say it all disgusts me. I'm a little more open minded to the commercial sex scene than most young gay guys I know.Originally Posted by lonelywombat
True. But isn't your long-running interest in discussing how to "attract more gays/young gays to Pattaya" the same?Originally Posted by lonelywombat
My main point to you is you've been focusing a lot on how it can be better promoted when in fact, it's the "product" that's the issue. No amount of promotion will attract young gay farang who aren't already visiting to what is currently on offer in the venues you're keen to promote (namely, places like Boyztown and Sunee).
There's plenty of cheap accommodation around... It's the bars and choice of nightlife, which is lacking for younger gays in Pattaya.Originally Posted by lonelywombat
True for the most part... and they're certainly not going to be attracted by what's currently aimed at the older generation.Originally Posted by kquill
I think this is a great thing...Originally Posted by kquill
Of course, you're right. Pattaya would face an uphill battle to do all this...Originally Posted by pong
easy - 30 years experience in what I do, and NOT a bar/restaurant/entertainment business ... although many of those are in my client base. If you need more info, then pay me for my expertise and consultancy!Originally Posted by Man4AllSeasons
There are only 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't.
Excellent reply Patexpat. Damn cheek of the man!Originally Posted by Patexpat
Dude (on Soi Bunkot) closed around 2 years backOriginally Posted by tonyfromkent64
At one stage it was the "in" place to go in Pattaya... but its time at the top of the tree was short lived!
At the Time there was X-ray, Dave Man Club and Dude competing for the late night Gay business, X-ray moved to a new premises and the crowdmoved to the new X-Ray
The opening of NAB finally deprived Dude of its remaining customers...and it closed
Incidentally a lot of the bar boys now live on Soi Bunkot and there are at least 6 Boy karaokes in the immediate vicinity (as well as Si Saket restaurant which is full of gay people after closing time(s))
Buffalo me die! Send Money!
