I wish I hadn't raised the subject. Let's talk about how great Cockpit was.....best bar in Boyztown. Any other suggestions? or perhaps a new thread? History is so much better than today's events.

My all time favorite on Soi Toyota (across Second Road from Boyztown).

Oh yes! Star Boys was a real favourite for me. Great memories.

I went to Gentlemen's Club a few times. I have to say I didn't notice anything untoward in terms of the boys and their ages.
Rob, the owner was Swiss, a nice guy who unfortunately came to a bit of a sticky wicket.
At that time, 2004, I was considering a bar in Pattaya. It was Rob who explained the realities of it, the police, the too few customers etc.
For all its wonders Pattaya is also the graveyard of dreams.
As Ruthrieston says, Star was one of the best places in the Good Old Days....assuming you had the skill, courage and luck to cross Second Road successfully at night.
It was the only place I visited which had a menu and pricing for "offs" on each table. Dancers, bar -staff waiters all had their prices. But the most expensive and top of the bill was the Mamasan.
I suspect she didn't have many takers. Although, it has suddenly occurred to me that perhaps it was a joke. If so, it was also the only bar I visited that (collectively) had a sense of humour.

I'm investing and I continue to do so.. I cant go wrong personally but I do know others that put money in and had nothing left to live on in the quiet months. Don't ever forget many of the Gay Bar owners are retired with a steady income coming in from outside Thailand. The bar / Restaurant etc is just for fun and to give the boys a job. Not all are in it to make money.
