GAYMARCH

Email: [email protected]

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Duncan Stearn, the intrepid creator of NIGHTMARCH should be very flattered; or, maybe he should just feel ripped off. I guess he can make the call. In any case, this will be the premier edition of a new feature in PATTAYA ONE that will, hopefully, do for (or to) the gay nightlife scene what NIGHTMARCH does for the straight scene.

Scores of gay bars and venues can be found throughout Fun Town, but are mostly clustered in a few areas. Not far from Walking Street, there is a plethora of gay go-go and host bars on Pattayaland Sois 1-3. (Pattayaland Soi 3 is the original 'Boyz Town'.) You'll find a variety of boys to suit most tastes. However, if you're into katoeys (ladyboys), you might find them in short supply here. Boyz Boyz Boyz in Boyz Town, one of the originals, is still going strong. They recently introduced a new 'sexy all male erotic show' at 10 pm called 'Bad Boyz.' A recent visit revealed good dancing that was a bit revealing. You can run across the street after the show and catch the boy aquarium and cabaret shows at The Copa, starting at around 10:30 pm. The cabaret show has lots of lip syncing and dancing, if that's your thing. The boys in the swimming tank put on nicely choreographed routines, but unfortunately, they don't perform au naturel. Funny Boys, on the same soi, is a lower key go-go bar featuring a large variety of boys, comfortable seating and low key music. Panorama, a big and very popular host bar, has many handsome, masculine young men to serve your alcoholic requirements and other needs. Nearby, Oscar's host bar is a quiet, recently renovated place to relax with the hosts and have a drink. Do drop into the Café Royale, which presents the hunky and popular Filipino singing sensations, El Duo.

Pattayaland Soi 2 features three go-go bars. A-Bomb is a large emporium, specializing in big, muscular boys. Wild West Boys has a nice variety of young men dancing in sexy briefs. They have two shows nightly at 10:30 and midnight; and a special party and show on the 29th of each month. The recently opened pole dancing establishment, Happy Place, formerly Bubble Boys, has shows on weekends. Showing some sparks of innovation, the bar is presenting 'Boy Bingo' on the 22nd of November, in which the winner gets to choose a lovely 'prize' of his choice. They even provide the gratuity for the aforementioned prize.

UPSTAIRS/DOWNSTAIRS: Pattayaland Soi 1 presents a string of go-go bars, on both sides of the soi. X-Boys and New Dynamite (which is upstairs) have interesting shows every night. Following a couple of raids by Pattaya's Finest, the shows are slightly less raunchy than before. Recently, X-Boys presented a thrilling, 'B-Boys' performance. These guys could really move. Sawatdee Boys has a cabaret show on weekends. You can stay on the soi all night and barhop to the various other go-go establishments, including Lucky 777, Dream Boys, Kawaii and Cupid Doll Boys. A small go-go bar, between Sois 2-3, is Vassa Boys. A recent perusal revealed quite a few cuties and a dearth of customers. You're sure to find a young man whom you'd like to get to know better at one of these venues. Expect to pay 150 to 200 baht for liquid refreshment in the bars that present special shows.

The other main gay districts, Sunee Plaza and Jomtien Complex will be covered more fully in future issues. A couple of quickies: Happy Boys, on Soi Yensabai, near Sunee Plaza, will be celebrating the manager, Khun Wat's birthday with free food and cake on Saturday 6 November. Wan's Café has relocated to the old Memories Bar. They're now in Sunee Plaza.
