I agree with Brad the Impala:
Restoring this part of gay history would be a great idea.
Seeing as Sawatdee Gay Thailand is one of the only remaining (active) gay forums, the task of restoring and archiving posts from the old Pattayagay forum would be very much appreciated and well-served.
It is clear that the Thai gay scene of the past is now history. It should be memorialised so that those who come after us can understand what they are missing....and to comfort us with happy memories in our declining years.
...oh do cheer up...theres good drugs for that ...

Twas The Night Before Christmas
(aka The Soi Twilight Christmas Stroll)
Twas the night before Christmas, when all down the soi,
Sex tourists were creeping, in search of a boy.
Neon lights were all strung – god only knows how,
While barkers yelled loudly their call of, “Show Now!”
The boys were all listless, but strutting their stuff,
Each a vision of youth, lined up in the buff.
Mamasan was in drag, the captain in a tux,
The boys were all wistful of making some bucks.
When out on the soi arose such a clatter,
The bar emptied out to see what was the matter.
The barkers were shouting, the soi all astir,
While at Maxi’s and Dick’s they all downed more liqueur.
The moon over Bangkok, red lights all aglow,
Brewed a promise of sex in the scene down below.
When, what to their wondering eyes should appear,
But a rare sight these days: a live customer!
Avoiding the touts, he made quite a mad dash,
And they knew right away it just might mean some cash.
Mamasan got busy, big profits her aim,
She shrilled out her orders, calling each boy by name.
“Hey Somwang! You Sompong! Little Lek boy, Aek too!
Now Tui, Wit and Mongon! Come On! All of you!
Get up on the stage now! Get out of your clothes!
Hurry up and look lively! Get into your row!”
The show wasn’t over, live sex acts still on tap,
“Tip Me!” screeched the boy fucking on the falang’s lap.
“Everyting,” was the promise of what he could do,
So the check bin was tallied, the off fee paid too.
They strolled down the sidewalk: a straight boy, an old queer,
It wasn’t a long walk, the hotel was quite near.
Suriwongse has rooms, for rent by the hour,
A quick dash upstairs, then into the shower.
With lights turned down low – this bar boy was sure modest!
It took near forever, to get him undressed.
The blue pill kicked in, the falang started to stroke,
Then pointed at his cock, and gently asked, “Sa-moke?”
The boy spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
He blew, then he sucked, and finished off with a jerk.
Cleaning up with a tissue from head down to toes,
And giving a nod, off the bed he then rose.
His smile was heart melting, a quick kiss, just some lip,
With a sweet gracious wai he accepted his tip.
“Melly Clitmas to you,” he said at the door,
“I tink I take taxi, please 500 baht more?”

Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.
For all who are missing the subtle charms of Pattaya and wish to relive the excitement of that visit, here be Rush’s classic A First Timer’s Visit To Gay Pattaya

And because one can never have too much of a good thing, here is Part 2

And how prescient Rush was:
the newbie probably tried to find out the scoop through the internet. Which means they found one of the gay Thailand forums. What a scary introduction that must be! If they man up and post their questions . . . yikes! Doubtful they’ll get the answers they were looking for. But before the thread goes totally off the track (that’d be by responding post #5) they’ll be accused of being someone they never heard of; someone else will abusively tell them to use the search function; some old disgruntled Pattaya expat will tell them they will be ripped off, left with blue balls, and spat upon; and one of the bar owners in Pattaya will use their post as an excuse to promote his bar....

After Rush died, I came across an article along with photos of him at a street fair in California where he was selling small items from Thailand. Also read an obit that gave scant details concerning his death. Not sure if I ever posted that on Sawatdee.
I'm not aware of anyone posting links to articles with details about his life or demise.
I know only what I read on the forums, and more information would be welcome.
