The LIST of GAY BARS and GOGO's in PATTAYA from 1980 till now

[Captain Swing]

Now let’s look at how many gay establishments currently exist:

Boyztown........10?
Sunee..............10?
Jomtien............25?
Odds and sods...5
Not an accurate count by probably not far off the mark.

So of the 377 listed only about 50 remain. Rest gone.

An appalling loss rate wouldn’t one say..even if it is over about 30 years.

Depressing, certainly, but somewhat misleading. I wonder what the maximum number of bars that ever existed AT ANY ONE TIME is. More than 50, no doubt, but as many as 100? I doubt it. Sunee's loss is Jomtien's gain, for instance. I'm not suggesting there's not a big decline, but maybe the picture is not quite as bleak as it looks at first glance.

Very good point
