Trip Report - Pattaya September 2015

[BearlyThere]

This is my first attempt at keeping a record of my travels. I have read others trip reports and always enjoyed them, so I thought I would give it a shot myself.

Day One

I arrive in BKK at 12:30am. I had read many suggestions on setting up a pre-arranged taxi to Pattaya, so I contacted Nam of NamтАЩs Taxi Service and scheduled a driver to pick me up and take me away to Pattaya. My driver was waiting for me at the designated meeting point with a complimentary bottle of water and warm greeting. Her name was Ann and she was very friendly, although she did not have the best English skills. The few times we attempted to talk, we both ended up kind of looking at each other quizzically while trying to figure out what the other meant. Either way, she was very nice and I enjoyed her as a driver. One question thoughтАжwhile driving to Pattaya I told Ann she could turn on the radio to listen to some music instead of the dead silence in the car. Ann turned on the radio but there were no radio stations? She would hit the seek button and no stations would come upтАж Do radio stations just stop broadcasting after a certain time of night in Thailand?

We arrive at Le Caf├й Royale around 2:30am. Another warm greeting and I am on my way to my room. I had booked a room for a few nights through Agoda with the plan of seeking out other hotels once in town to find a comfortable place. I had picked Le Caf├й Royale as it is in the heart of Boyztown. I wanted to make sure I was close to the nightlife and would not spend a lot of time worrying and wandering around Pattaya trying to find my way around. Once I got to my room, I immediately knew I had sacrificed comfort for proximity. The window is broken, does not close properly. In addition, the room looks worn and the bed is like sleeping on bricks. IтАЩm not sure if firm beds are the rage in Asia, but I am a fan of soft, cushiony, wanting to feel like IтАЩm sleeping on a giant pillow type beds. After being up and travelling for over 30 hours, I was not happy to sleep in the bed. Resigned to accept the fact that I would be staying here until my Agoda reservation was up, I attempted to get some sleep with plans of going out that evening to the Go-GoтАЩs.

I end up sleeping in 3 тАУ 4 hour shifts, waking to adjust my position as my body is not used to such a firm bed. I am so tired and the sleep is not very fulfilling, so I end up sleeping until 6:30pm. When I get up, I shower and dress to get some dinner. I decide to go to Le Caf├й Royale (surprise, surprise!) for dinner and am greeted by a very nice waiter IтАЩll call K. K is happy to get my meal and even happier to suggest he тАЬtake careтАЭ of me during my trip in Pattaya. K is not my type as I enjoy manly men type with muscles. K and I have a conversation back and forth; seeing an opportunity, I ask K if he would like to тАЬtake careтАЭ of me by showing me around the Go-GoтАЩs and finding me a тАЬboyfriendтАЭ. K is happy to come along and has dinner with me while we wait to start our trip.

The first Go-Go we go to is Funnyboys. It is smaller than I expected and really intimidating. I am the only one in there! All the boys are on stage, looking at me, and K is helpfully pointing out guys he thinks I would like. I let K know that even though I may want a manly man, I also want a bottom. I end up calling over a boy from the stage who is very cute, his name is A. A is cute, but I quickly realize I forgot to tell K I wanted one more important thing тАУ someone who can speak English. A apologizes and says he is still studying English. A and I share a drink and we all three talk, with K as a translator. It is fun and after about an hour I tell K I am ready to go. I tip A a few baht and we head out to the next Go-Go.

K tells me we should go by Boyz Boyz Boyz as they have the men I like, he says this while making exaggerated bicep muscle gestures. I laugh and agree, I do like that! Boyz Boyz Boyz is much more comfortable; it is a bigger venue with more customers and more boys. Immediately I see 4 or 5 guys that I would love to spend the night with, one in particular has a very cute smile and although he is not muscular, he is very cute. The guys rotate through the stage and I keep watching. Eventually, I get up to take a piss and on my way back to my seat, run right into the boy I was admiring on stage. I tell him he has a cute smile and I would like to sit with him. His name is T. T and I go to sit down. T starts to get the idea that K is there for a threesome. I laugh; тАЬNo, I do not want a threesome, K is my friend!тАЭ We have a few drinks and get ready for the big show.

After a while, the big cock show begins, and it is an experience. I donтАЩt particularly find it erotic as much as painful looking. Why bang your cock against poles and drums? Why pour wax on your tongue and body? I just didnтАЩt get it, but it was definitely something to see. After the show, K suggests we go dancing at NAB. I am up for it!

We hire a Baht Bus to take us directly to NAB. It is loud and COLD. Actually both Go-GoтАЩs were very cold too. We have a few drinks and K and T sit on the couch and dance occasionally. I cuddle with T and enjoy the atmosphere. At about 2:00am, both K and T are tired so we take a Baht Bus back to the hotel. K and I part ways, K wants to show me around to other Go-GoтАЩs tomorrow and I kind of enjoy the idea of having a friend in a place so foreign to me. I tell K I will see him tomorrow and maybe we can go see more of Boyztown.

T and I make our way back up to my room. As soon as we get into the room I know I made a bad decision; T keeps saying he is tired тАУ too tired to do anything. I tell T I am tired tooтАж but more importantly horny. We shower and start to fool around in bed. I had made it very clear when talking to T that I wanted to top him and was hoping this would go smoothly тАУ it did not. Every time I attempt to fuck T, T becomes an actor. тАЬOoh! Slow! Too big!тАЭ I have to laugh. I tell T, I am small, try to relax. T is not having it. After attempting to have sex for 30 minutes, I take off my condom with audible frustration and tell T тАЬLetтАЩs go to bedтАЭ.

тАЬYou no like me anymore?тАЭ No T, I like you, but I told you I wanted to fuck and thatтАЩs why I picked you. тАЬOk, ok, we fuck tomorrow morning.тАЭ

We both lie on our brick like bed. Lots of tossing and turning and by 6:00am, T is trying to get me hard. I once again attempt to have sex with T and T goes back to the dramatics. In fact, I had to stop myself from laughing because he would start to go тАЬOH! OH!тАЭ before my dick was anywhere near his ass. I give up! I tell T тАЬsamoke meтАЭ. T gives a half-hearted attempt, stopping every minute or so to perform fellatio on me like he was trying to suck juice out of a juice box. It is not pleasant. I tell T he has to go up and down, not just suck. T does not care. I tell T I am done, T keeps trying but I tell him I am tired. T gets up and tells me тАЬI go now?тАЭ тАЬYes, you go nowтАЭ тАУ at least IтАЩll have the brick bed to myself to stretch out and try to sleep. I give T his agreed upon amount, nothing extra as I got the short end of the stick, literally.

T leaves my room happily and wants to see me again. I could understand why he would want to see me again; I bought many drinks and let him do his own thing, I was a very easy customer. I make a promise to myself that next time I go out, I make it very, very, VERY clear what I want to do, and confirm multiple times thatтАЩs what I want to do. I also have to remind myself to tell the guy I choose that if he does not bottom, he gets less than agreed because I am here to fuck (sorry to be vulgar).


Day Two (Morning)

I end up not sleeping much after T leaves. I toss and turn trying to find a comfortable spot. At 9:00am, I decide IтАЩve had enough and go downstairs to see if I can upgrade my room to something more comfortable. Reception gives me some bad news; тАЬAll beds sameтАЭ. I was really hoping they were saving the comfortable beds for the nicer roomsтАж

I go back to my room to find a place to have breakfast. I search TripAdvisor and find a place IтАЩd like to try: The Coffee Club. It is very near me, at least on the map. I decide I would love to have something American for breakfast. I shower and get dressed. Once outside, I attempt to find The Coffee Club. I end up going around the block 2.5x before I give up on finding it. It looks like it should be thereтАж but I cannot find it! I do not want to try to find someone who knows where it is, so I settle on a place on Beach Road near Walking Street called The Kitchen. I have an American breakfast with 2 American coffeeтАЩs and enjoy the scenery. I read my news on my mobile and enjoy no Aircon. An aside about Aircon тАУ Americans are in love with it, so much so that it is unhealthy. I have to admit I love it too; when I go to bed, I love to crank up the air so I can sleep bundled up under the covers. I am happy when my body acclimates to the hotter weather and a nice breeze goes through the open air restaurant.

I end up leaving around 11:30am and walk leisurely back to Le Caf├й Royale. I consider getting a foot massage, but I want a GOOD one, and I am hoping to search some places soon! On that note, please give me a recommendation if you know of one near the Boyztown area that I would (probably) not get lost trying to find. I end up going back to my room and decide to try to take another nap to prepare for this eveningтАЩs festivities.

oh good Lord, don't u just hate those lying conniving money boys...thats why I boot them out within 10 minutes if they aren't gonna perform and I certainly don't pay the agreed amount as he didn't hold up his side of the bargain...in fact I throw a mini tantrum (not a pretty sight) and let him know in no uncertain terms how unhappy I am.
Now where's all the haters who reckon that money boys r being exploited...??

[firecat69]

Good first report. Keep them coming.

Latin I doubt there are any real Haters of you but certainly not because you kick someone out who does not do what promised.(I have done that although it happens rarely) Many including me don't like that you will take full advantage of a desperate boy and pay him as little as possible even if below what most consider the minimum.

Nice report, BT.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a bottom in Boyzboyzboyz. Only a few look gay and probably bottom, but I didn't find them attractive.

Ah, the age-old question: how much do you tip when a guy refuses to perform? It can be a tricky situation. The common sense approach would be to reduce the agreed tip accordingly. But I must admit that I havent always done that, preferring to just put it down to experience and move on. The last time I reduced the tip was earlier on this year when I was very dissatisfied with a Vietnamese guy I had offed from Freshboys in Soi Twilight.

You soon learn that what the guys 'promise" to do when in the bar sometimes doesn't materialise back in the room.

It could be construed as a case of the guys exploiting us. They can spot a horny farang a mile away.

Great first report BearlyThere, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I do find it interesting to read a newcomerтАЩs first time experiences of visiting the Thai gay, commercial, scene.

I was however sorry to read that your bed, at Le Caf├й Royale (LCR), and your first тАШboyтАЩ were not up to your expectations. IтАЩve stayed at LCR many times and donтАЩt recall problems with their beds, but on my most recent visit to Pattaya, in February 2015, I stayed at the Ambiance Hotel, just across the soi from LCR. I had no problems with the bed, although I canтАЩt say the same about my room, which was on the first floor, almost above the go-go bar, BoyzBoyzBoyz. I found it very noisy, especially when the show was on. I almost had, what I would describe as, a bit of an Oliver moment. Sorry, Oliver, but I did think of you at the time. Lol!

The very helpful reception staff and management had already moved me because the air-con wasnтАЩt working in my first allocated room. And, having unpacked and packed once, I didnтАЩt fancy asking for another move. As I was only stopping there three nights, I gritted my teeth and stayed put. When I couldnтАЩt sleep I went down to watch the show in BBB, so it wasnтАЩt a great hardship. I shall however ask for a room on a higher floor the next time I stay there. Perhaps BearlyThere, you might consider having a look at the Ambiance and checking out the quality of their beds and seeking out a room on a higher floor before committing yourself to move out of LCR.

With regard to your choice of тАШboyтАЩ, well, even an experienced old hand like me sometimes ends up with a guy who doesnтАЩt do what I thought was agreed when we chatted in the bar. Happily, it doesnтАЩt happen that often and, as IтАЩm not the type to throw a hissy fit and make a great scene, I usually just chalk it up to experience and make a mental note not to take out the go-go boy again. IтАЩve read other members report that they go into a great deal of detail on what they expect. I suppose that way has great advantages and should avoid disappointment back in the room, especially if you stipulate there would be financial consequences if they fail to live up to what was agreed. ThatтАЩs not my way, I prefer to explain my requirements to the mamasan and seek an acknowledgment from the тАШboyтАЩ that he understands. ThereтАЩs still a bit of the old romantic in me which doesnтАЩt want to spoil the magic by talking too much about the mechanics of what is expected in the bedroom. And sometimes, although it may not go 100% as planned, but there is a good chemistry between me and the money boy, it can be worthwhile to stick with him and when you get to know him, he can turn into a real keeper.

Anyway, I hope you had better luck with your second rendezvous.

Jellybean

I intend to check into the Ambiance tomorrow maybe late afternoon. As you can see my name is Dave. Perhaps meet up for a drink and a chat about the Pattaya scene ?. Ask for me and perhaps leave a message ?.
I dont know how long I will stay there. I know the late night noise can be a problem from previous experiences. What was the noise like at the Cafe Royal ?.

[Mancs]

Re massage, if you walk from Boystown on to second road and turn right there are a couple of massage shops across the road on the left with male workers outside. I found those ok.

[BearlyThere]

oh good Lord, don't u just hate those lying conniving money boys...

I definitely wasnтАЩt happy but there was no reason to get too upset. I figure that everything here is so much less expensive than home that losing ~$30 to $60USD isnтАЩt that hard of a hit. Now if I was $200 to $300USD for an encounter, like in the metro U.S., I wouldnтАЩt have taken it well at all.

Ah, the age-old question: how much do you tip when a guy refuses to perform? It can be a tricky situation. The common sense approach would be to reduce the agreed tip accordingly. But I must admit that I havent always done that, preferring to just put it down to experience and move on.

Yeah, I chalked it up to experience. No reason to make a stink about a difference of $15 to $30USD.

I intend to check into the Ambiance tomorrow maybe late afternoon. As you can see my name is Dave. Perhaps meet up for a drink and a chat about the Pattaya scene ?. Ask for me and perhaps leave a message ?.

Hi TravellerDave, IтАЩm going to assume you meant me instead of Jellybean? IтАЩd enjoy meeting for a drink and a chat. IтАЩll message you my details and you can get back to me. In regards to the noise at LCR, even with my broken window that does not seal, the noise is barely audible. I am in the back of the hotel though, so IтАЩm not sure what the rooms are like that face Boyztown proper.

Right across from the entrance to Boystown there are two massage places with nice looking guys outside hawking massages: Supreme Massage and Sea Man Massage. They are legit massage places; no happy endings which is just what I wanted. I just want a good massage from a nice looking guy who knows what he is doing and they are trained in traditional massage. Of my two experiences I much preferred Supreme Massage. They invited me in and first the masseuse washed my feet then led me up to a private room (cabin) with relaxing music and gave me a good one hour traditional massage. His name was Son (rhymes with Ron) and I recommend him. IтАЩm sure he would be good for foot massage too.

I had a decent massage at Sea Man but much less enjoyable. They tried to talk me into more than I wanted at the beginning and then led me to a sort of tent area where two other people were getting massaged so it was a group experience and the masseuses were interacting with each other a lot which didnтАЩt help with the relaxation part. In addition my masseuse tried to sell me more after my massage was over. Not pushy but I didnтАЩt really like the sales pressure.

I recommend you try Supreme Massage. As I say, right on 2nd Rd straight across from Boystown.

Enjoy!

Day Two (Afternoon & Evening)

I tossed and turned trying to take my nap after coming back from my long breakfast. I ended up dozing for a few hours until I decided I should just get up. I didnтАЩt feel much like going out so I thought IтАЩd check out some of my TV shows I follow on Hulu. I tried to log-in only to realize that Hulu will not work outside of the U.S. I probably should have checked on that before I came but it wasnтАЩt that big of a deal to me, although I would have really enjoyed watching the newest episode of Difficult People. I ended up watching some crime documentary on the TV while organizing some work on the computer. Before I knew it, it was already 6:30pm. As soon as I got up from the desk, I had the overwhelming urge to go to bed. I am the type of person that really enjoys sleep and it would be a lie to say it wasnтАЩt really tempting to think about taking a nice hot shower, turning down the aircon and trying to get some sleep again. If I had just gone to bed again, I would have not only missed a Saturday night in Thailand but also royally screwed up my sleeping schedule. The last thing I needed was to get off schedule and start sleeping strange hours. I had to really fight the urge and showered, shaved and prepared to go outside to meet up with K for some more exploration.

Once outside I start to wake up again. I meet up with K and he seems happy to see me. I ask K if he would like to go to dinner with me before we start. K is happy to come along. K wants to know where I want to go, I tell K I am up for anything тАУ surprise me. On our way to dinner, K asks about last night. I make a shrug and say тАЬNot so good.тАЭ K gives me a look of concern but I laugh and say we try again tonight.

K and I arrive at our destination тАУ Central Festival. The mall is huge and really spectacular. It is very busy and IтАЩm really enjoying the modernity. We walk around and make our way up to the restaurant areas. тАЬYou like sushi?тАЭ Eh, Sushi OKтАж not really big on fish. We then end up walking by what seems like an endless assortment of sushi restaurants haha. We eventually make our way up to A Taste of Thailand. I know I should probably be eating from the carts outside as IтАЩve heard some great reviews of the street food, but IтАЩve always enjoyed sit-down restaurants. I order the cashew chicken and K ends up ordering an omelet type meal with pork and shrimp. We eat family style and IтАЩm really enjoying having meal-time company. I can definitely be a loner, but when I travel I tend to be more outgoing and social. I probably ate more than I should have, and K did not help as he kept putting more shrimp, more chicken, more veggies on my plate. I laugh and tell him тАЬNo more! No more!тАЭ We finish up our meal and head back into the mall.

Once I start walking around the mall, the overwhelming urge to sleep starts to come back even stronger. The combination of a few days of unfulfilling sleep and a very full stomach starts to weigh me down. K notices but I assure him I will work through it. We start to walk around the mall and do some window shopping. K enjoys looking at the clothes and electronics; I enjoy the new experiences. K ends up stopping at a belt kiosk. He finds a belt he likes and wants to purchase it, but I tell him it looks like it is too big for him. Little do I realize that they actually adjust the belts at the kiosk. Maybe I am a bit na├пve but I have never seen such a thing. Surely enough, in a few minutes the sales lady gives K back the belt now correctly sized. K starts to pay but I let him know I will take care of it as a gift to a friend. K is very grateful. I think I might as well, as I have no man of my own to indulge for now. We continue walking around the mall and eventually end up in the outside center performance area. A school troop is performing, K lets me know. We stand at the railing and listen to the performance. The music is Isaan-style K says. It is very beautiful and the kids are really talented.

After the performance, K and I decide to walk back to Boyztown via Beach Road. This is my first time on Beach Road, but not the first time I have heard/read about it. It was very busy with a variety of people. We end up walking by a family of rats scampering around an overturned garbage can. I point them out and K makes a joke about BBQing them. People are sitting around the garbage can, eating their food and not batting an eye as the rats run around 3 feet away from them. We keep walking back while I absorb the experience.

K and I end up at our first destination of the night тАУ Cupidol. We go in and again we are the only customers. All the boys face us and I am again feeling really uncomfortable. I really hate the idea of walking out immediately, so we sit down for a drink. тАЬWhat boy you like?тАЭ HmmтАж They are all very small frame and effeminate. I tell K I like none and laugh. K and I sit and drink our drinks. I feel terrible about тАЬrejectingтАЭ all the boys, so I start to do the mental calculation of how much it would cost to buy each boy at least 1 boy drink. After some tallying, I decide against it; too expensive! I kind of feel like IтАЩm stealing by not compensating these guys for pretty much putting themselves completely on display for farang like me. I thought about inviting a boy over just to pick one, but I really did not find any of them attractive. Is it considered rude to not have a boy sit with you when you go to a Go-Go? We quickly finish our drinks and leave.

Next up тАУ Toy Boys. Again I am the only customer. Again all the boys are not my type. Scratch that, there are 1 or 2 my type but they are very clearly NOT gay, which I then assume means they will NOT bottom. Let me know if I am wrong in my assumption. A mamasan (IтАЩm assuming) sits down next to us so I buy him a drink. He comments on how he likes my pale skin and dark arm hair. I tell him I would prefer to be a darker tone/tan. ItтАЩs really interesting how the standards of beauty can vary. We have a nice chat, finish our drinks, and move on.

This time, I tell K we go to Funnyboys. Last night, I noticed a guy there I found attractive and was hoping he might be there. When we enter Funnyboys, I am right! He is there and he is definitely my guy for the night. We have a drink and I talk to mamasan about which boys have good English, which boys would bottom, etc. I am happy to hear the mamasan suggest the guy I was interested in. I invite him to sit down and learn his name is B. B is cute, he has a nice smile, nice thick thighs, manly hairy calves and big feet. He is very nice and we talk for a few before I ask if he would like to come to my room ST. I discuss what I want to do and B is in agreement. B leaves to get dressed and when he returns I find him even more attractive. He asks where I stay and I tell him LCR, we take tuk-tuk to get there, so far! We laugh and head over to my room.

Once in my room, we shower. B wants to give me a massage and I want a massage! B begins rubbing my back, arms, legs, rubbing his body against mine. It is very erotic and when itтАЩs time to flip over, it is apparent I am enjoying the massage. B seizes the moment. The difference between T and B is worlds apart; B wastes no time and really takes care of me. I never have to ask to switch position or move this way or do that. B makes up for such a disappointing night with T last night. B and I relax post-massage and talk. We find out we are the same astrological sign and almost the same age, very cosmic. I ask B if he wants to stay LT but I tell B I am very tired and probably going to bed in 15 тАУ 30 minutes. B thanks me but says he is not tired. I can understand and while a bit disappointed, I tip B with some extra money for тАЬtaxi fareтАЭ to get back to Funnyboys haha.

After B leaves, I shower, lay down and within 15 minutes am sound asleep.
