Well back home nearly a week now so I thought I'd write a few of my Pattaya observations. None of the areas were particularly busy, either straight or gay but Jomtien seemed to be the busiest although generally I was only passing through.
Boyztown was its usual self-important self. Only one bar livened me up and as I have written that was X-Boys Pattayaland. They have a Cambodiaan boy here...he's a delight. A brief visit to G.U.Y on Walking Street for a beer in an empty bar at 150 Baht and a demand to leave the 50 Baht note as a tip...refused.
The boys are now quoting 1500 Baht for short time but will accept 1200.
I enjoyed several massages at Narcissus, Throb, Scandic and that one next to Petite Planette restaurant in Day/Night. Scandic can offer you a Vietnamese boy if you fancy.
I ate at two of the restaurants in Day/Night. Petit Planette was ok and Cuisine au Buerre was better but a little more expensive. I think C o B has been taken over by a Thai woman and there seems to be a schoolchild (her son I think) there. I find this soon leads to a 'family' style atmosphere which I do not like. If the child is there when I return then I shall not eat there again.
L'Olivier in Jomtien was also very good but again a little more expensive.
I also visited The Glasshouse twice and it's still the most beautiful restaurant Patttaya has to offer. Great food, great drinks, great location, great everything.
Most of the bars in Sunnee were as I remember them, a couple of new ones. In one of the new ones the barman told me he had a gun and he wanted to fight me. Outside someone tried to sell me ice. But most of the boys here are actually quite pleasant and friendly.
Eros has filled the void currently left by Krazy Dragon. It's a fun bar where nudity and saucy behaviour are never far away along with comfortable furniture.
A new experience for me was getting stuck in flooded roads and the bike conking out. Two good Samaritan Thais had positioned themselves and as soon as someone's bike stopped they waded in and pulled them out.
All in all a good trip. Very enjoyable.
