I had been at Patong last August very quite due the low season .most of the time was cloudy with occasional rain.not many boys at Royal Paradise complex but some cute boys at the massage parlors .most of the gay venues were close or not fully operated I had great fun at ZAG very nice ambience, Boat Bar was really a joke far cry from its glory days years ago my favorite gogo bar My Way was close.stay at the Connect guesthouse very disappointing the rooms need urgent renovation and the corridors are dark and dangerous at night one wrong step and you may fall downstairs it was my first and last stay there.
I can not recommend the C&N hotel as far as I remember it's not gay friendly and the rooms are dark and gloomy better the K-hotel with nice pool and green surroundings or the Aquarious gay guesthouse with its freindly staff and very good breakfast or Adonis guesthouse.
