I am usually wary of posting any reference to Gaybuttons' site because a few twats on this board rear up like rabid mongrels and start slavering at the mouth. However, after a self imposed exile from both boards Undaunted has started a thread there with the above title. And it is awesome. Totally worth reading. But please keep any issues you might have with the site or any persons associated with it to yourself.

Agree with you arsenal, well worth reading and interesting. Unfortunately some troll did his best to derail undaunted's post but GB got it back on track again.
too bad no link...

I'm pleased to see that I'm not alone in enjoying reading about gay life in Thailand in the past. A few months ago, I was sitting in Panorama, enjoying my early evening Singha, trying to recall the bars and other venues that were in Boyztown twenty and ten years ago....I'd welcome more contributions from those who were around in the early 90s if only to remind me how good it was then!

Lets see, in the mid 80's Pattaya was considered run down and dirty. There was no gay scene in Chaing Mai nor in Phuket. It was either Bangkok or Pattaya. So, what you have seen in the course of 30 years is the centralized growth in a few gay meccas in the 90's and now the decentralization of that growth.

Didn't someone write a book on the very subject?Originally Posted by Oliver
Having said that - probably a sanitised version with no mention (for example) of the alleged defrocked priest/ex post-office robber who ran a boy bar. THAT'S the sort of brilliant stuff I'd want to read about

Yes....I re-read it recently. It's by Michael Burchall who owned Cockpit when I first visited. But I enjoy the personal memories of punters, too.
By the way Scottish, please say thanks to Celtic supporters... the world's most popular club at the moment! .
I'll just say thanks to myself then
No accounting for taste ! :-P
