Rom

Recommended Posts

I recently ghosted a Pattaya whore-friend because she has turned to ice cream in a bad way. She even absentmindedly inhaled a big spoonful whist we were doing a video chat.

I Lined her a thoughtful admonition about death and prison and bid her farewell.

I will not disclose her name but she is fairly well known in Pattaya.

By the way, the price of ice cream dropped 50 percent in SE Asia during COVID. Google for more info.

Sorry for threadfuck, Rom.

nothing to do with with political correctness Rom, don't overvalue yourself. As i said previously using 'he' for a ladyboy sometimes makes your posts difficult to read, especially, your longer posts.  Now , i accept that you get delight from attempting controversy, but sometimes what one considers to be controversial others consider to be stupid.

The norm is to use 'she' and that is absolutely nothing to do with the LBP or bitter conformity.

I do wonder if you have become so obsessed with mongering that you have developed a contempt for hookers/prostitutes whatever. This is by no means an uncommon thing to happen. It is also nothing to do with being a non-native English speaker. Your English is as good as anyone's, maybe better than some.

Tell me Rom, as a long-time mongerer, do you have any actual LB friends? i mean proper friends, not internet short-time friends. Any that you have respect for?  if so would you disrespect them by refering to them as 'he'?

but, anyway, well done with getting the other obsession PY into it ... again.

I’ve begun to think of Rom as the Hunter S. Thompson of mongering trip report writing; it’s a variation of Gonzo Journalism.

With respect to obsessions and other psychiatric disorders, this forum is full of Homo sapiens with a wide variety of neuroses, including me. Neuroses make life interesting. Embrace them, I say. :biggrin:

Do you know baseball rules bbg?  If not, look'em up.  That's strike 2 !

 

This is a rare (for me) 2nd TR post on the same day.   It is one of those ladyboyless personal impressions posts so you may want to skip it.  The topic is Pattaya's PENTHOUSE HOTEL (soi 13/4 just off Beach road close to Walking Street).  If you are not already familiar with it don't bother reading.  But I know it was a rite of passage for many other GG and sissy mongers earning their Pattaya devil wings.

I don't remember where I stayed the first couple of times I visited Pattaya.  But in 1999 I stumbled on the internet on the webpage of a new porn-themed Pattaya hotel called Penthouse.  It had an in-house go-go with a closed circuit channel of the GGs dancing onstage broadcast to the rooms; mirrors on the ceiling; jacuzzis; dance poles; sex swings; and it was decorated with an overload of kitschy Thai knick-knacks.  It was also openly ladyboy-friendly, which not many hotels were back then.  The room rates were competitive, the location was prime (back then!) and I gave it a try.  It was there I purchased my first Viagra pill from the manager who got them from an Australian doctor hotel guest (Viagra had just recently came out and was not available everywhere like now).  I stayed there on all my subsequent trips through 2006 when said manager embarked on a megalomanous expansion of the hotel and began to nickel-and-dime the guests with pesky added charges every each way he could (like charging the VAT in addition to the published prices, and little service charges for everything from using the indoor pool to extra toilet paper).  After that, I stayed at other locations all over Pattaya but often return to the Penthouse hotel sois (13/3 and 13/4; 13/5? is Boys Town) and as I write these words I am indeed in soi 13/4 across the Penthouse.

Let's talk about the 2 Penthouse owner-partners: Ian and Dudley.  Ian was a party dude and pehaps the main money man. Only talked to him once.  Died suddenly and mysteriously while visiting South Africa.  Dudley was the working manager always at his post at the hotel and the visionary micro-manager who turned the Penthouse into the white elephant it became.  He was also a con sleazeball and you could tell it from a mile away.  Everytime we talked he steered the conversation towards me investing in the hotel in exchange for a lifetime of free stays, drinks and barfines.  I am sure other more gullible punters fell for it.

Just after we met, Dudley married one of the hotel's go-go dancers who went from a total Thai hottie to a dragon lady bossing him around. At some point he got a hot pinay GF with whom he had 2 children.  They separated and she took the children back to the PH and then he went there, the pinay died, and he brought the children back to Pattaya.   Rumours abound.  The older child was a girl of 11 yo he would have dancing onstage with the sluts.  To his credit, he was into ladyboys himself and pioneered in Pattaya the co-ed ladyboy/GGs go-go.  At some point it became ladyboys only (Obsessions) and it had some damn good ones.  All this to say, Dudley was a complex character and not the most ethical one.

Once a business looses a customer, it is extremely hard to get him back.  And that's what happened with the Penthouse customers like me. We stopped coming back.  Dudley apparently doubled down on the new customers and that's when the outrageous charges for use of the pool, toilet paper, taking the lift started.  With all the construction work (and noise!), the cash-flow had to be negative and the hotel closed prior even to covid (2018?).  I asked at The Shamrock across the street, and Dudley and the Thai wife retreated to an island near her hometown in the south of Thailand where they run a smaller beach hotel...

I stayed there for one night during my first trip to Pattaya in 2014. It was an interesting experience. But. . . cockroaches. 

May I also make an observation unrelated to the Penthouse?

I find it interesting that whenever Rom does a trip report, or makes references to a certain LB forum, several popular and loud individuals from the ‘other’ forum seem to show up at LBR. One can only wonder why this is the case.

Please feel free to delete this post if you wish, Rom. I will understand.

It was only the other day that I reminisced about that place. It would have been about 2017 when I took my at the time, fili gf there. Swnging sex chair and all. Certainly a different place. A Thai woman appeared to be running it, (along with an older English guy). As the song says,"Another one bites the dust".

"He" ... "She"  ... what does it matter what an online shadow of a man in a microcosm like LBR picks to call a bunch of sissies? I suppose my sporadic use of "sissies" instead of "ladyboys" is also touching the politically correct nerves of some BMs.  Again: who cares what a nobody like me has to say?  Perhaps it will help those BMs to think I try to make my posts entertaining with a touch of rogueness and that this ain't PY where bitter conformity is the norm ...

 

 

 

Today, I will just add something on the sissy sleeping next to me and some pics from when I fucked her this morning, after which we both went back to sleep with me still inside her for another couple of hours... a practice she seems to like a lot, as do I.  Sooooo yesterday I had planned a beer with this farang acquaintance in Jomtien and she asked to come along in the Bolt taxi to be dropped elsewhere in Jomtien at a friend's.  In the course of my time with the farang I got a message from a new Facebook account with my sissy friend's pic saying she had left her phone in the taxi and no one was responding.  I felt bad for her and expected the night to be understandably ruined as for most people losing the phone would be a very stressful setback.  But that was not the case for my sissy friend.  When we met again at the hotel she seemed nonchalant about it.  She also seemed high on ice (can I post this?) and I suspect that's what she and her friend did in Jomtien with the money I had given earlier for the overnight ... We had a good time going for dinner at Tree Town and playing pool/drinks at Delirious.  If I had lost my phone, the first thing I would do today is go to the company and try to get my old # back.  She does not seem the least bit hurried to do that.  She also is not contacting Bolt directly to report the incident and get a response.  I think she may just have pawned the phone for the ice (again: can I say that?) figuring I might feel bad for her and help her with a new phone.  But she has not asked.  Instead she is saying she has another phone in the room, but again she is no hurry to get it.  This is all very strange but I am not going to ask any more questions or make any offers.

 

You underestimate yourself. We care about what you post (particularly about the Philippines).  I got used to your "he" insteadof "she" in your posts but as above mentionned, I was disturbed when you used "she" then "he". Last year, I first believed you tried to provoke folks in the forum mmaybe meaning implicetely that we are gay since we fuck gurls that we call "he". This doesn't disturb me, but what disturbed me was the above post in which you switched from "she" to "he". I just wondered what you meant. it doesn't improve how clear the story should be. Just my opinion. 

Why don't try to launch a neutral pronoun. I thought of "hesh" but the word is already used in English.  So I also thoughyt of "esh". ESH is used  in many acronyms but acronyms only. You could try to launch it. If it  spreads from LBR to other forums and becomes used by other people, you will become a legend in the LGBT++ community in 20 years. (And we'll grant you a romscar  :biggrin:). 

I will comment another day abbout sissy. 

 

I liked the above story. I hope that pills are not the origin of her unexplained behaviour. Who knows ? Isn't there any possibility to see her personality from another angle than just her hairy cock and her asshole ?

SHE (as in S-H-E  SHE! in my author's mind) is one very sweet and sexy sissy who tearfully said goodbye to me this morning.  She is not a barsissy. I met her, as reported here at LBR in a previous TR, at Jomtien Beach  2 1/2 years ago. She works at a hair salon doing nails, but I have no illusion she taps into farangs now and then to pay for the ice, cellphones and groceries.  When I give her money she makes a point of looking me in the eye and putting the bills in her pocket without even counting. I probably should not be posting here pics of her body parts... I hope to see her again...

They may be whiney cunts, but they ain't stupid.

 

I am already back in the Big Mango (BKK) for the final 5 nights of my trip.  I still have much to TR about Pattaya so what I will do today is combine in one TR installment the 3 sissies from Delirious Bar I did on different nights while I was there. This will allow the TR to catch up to the trip.  

Delirious01.jpg.5883e320a25fa220e7ec6bfc8c8e74f2.jpgAs far as I am concerned, Delirious Bar has become the focal point of Pattaya's ladyboy mongers now that 69 and TJs are history (New bar is more like a mercy stop).  Delirious also currently has its most numerous and best looking ever lineup of sissies on par with Katoeys 'Я' Us.  The rest of the Pattaya sissy bars are notches below although some have diamonds, such as Pook's Annie who I consider to be the new Lily (am I going to TR on her? itching to but risky...).

Every night I stayed in Pattaya I would without planning end up at Delirious Bar.  Such is the gravitational pull of soi Chaiyapoon now.  Unlike in the other Pattaya mongering hotspots, there is NOT one free commercial slot on the whole soi and a couple of the old rinky dink beer bars have given way to aircon fitted mini-clubs with better quality women at 1,000 baht barfines.   On my first night at Delirious, I greeted Herbert (the owner and BM here) with a familiar Hi-5, which he reciprocated enthusiastically with a big smile on his face, but the kind of smile that showed he had no idea who I was.  I went back every night and he still did not remember me not even from the previous nights. (Nice haircut you got while I was there Herbert!).  He was very busy and perhaps on a businessman's high seeing the bar around him doing so well with so many customers and motivated staff.  Herbert is one of the very few PY-LBR BMs who ever met me face-to-face me as the "Daddy Rom" non-avatar and perhaps it's for the best that he forgot me.  I like to think of myself as a stealthy punter good at hiding in crowds in plain sight, which I used to do in the face of my sworn PY haters at 69, Baby Boom, and the old Katty bar. Same-same this time at Delirious where some of the most whiney PY cliquers also hang out.

Delirious07a.jpg.4ae8854265bf637484521e6e6a9c14cc.jpgThe Delirious Bar sissies however seemed to remember me all too well, including Herbert's partner who, on the other hand, has no clue on the Rom-connection.  Delirious currently has 2 queen bees: Mona and Beauty.  Mona I knew already from another venue and our history ended with her blocking me on FB after I told her I saw her nude pictorials on FTGW which I had nothing to do with (apparently she objected that I knew Sonya made those shoots, and so did the Finn guy at PY but that's another story).  I feared Mona's reaction when she saw me, but she was cool.  I did not want to press my luck and ask her if I could take pics, which I wish I had because she looks great very elegant and classy.  I also observed her being very attentive with the customers.  I wish I had barfined her but it did not happen...  I did barfine Beauty who is a wonderful sexy sissy who considers me "a good boy" (her words) despite the unspeakable things I do to her.  She is very much in demand, but will LT for me, although she never sticks around after breakfast to make me feel even more special.

Delirious0.jpg.20657efbde37c920d843ed5d320c9cfe.jpgI also had a good first time ST with Cindy a tall skinny sissy without the bolt-ons as I prefer them and with another skinny one I forgot to write the name and now I don't remember (Ice? Icey? Spicy? Rice? Racy?).  He enticed me like a newbie with tongue kisses and tongue in the ear probings and promised LT, but once we did the deed he did a runner on me. He was not the only one this trip.  Others I wished would have left, stayed for breakfast.  My very first night at Delirious I also met a skinny tall pristine sissy fresh-off-the-farm who I came back for in subsequent nights but not only was she never there, but nobody else seemed to remember her.  I took one (and one only) pic of her, which is the pic to the left (or above-left if u on a cell phone) of the sissy in the patterned 2-piece.  All I remember for sure is she communicating to me (she does not speak any English) her name was "Nail" or "Nails" as she pointed at the nails on one of her hands.  If anyone knows who I am talking about please brief me on what you know.  She is my Cinderella-who-got-away of the trip.

To conclude:

(i) I can't recommend Beauty enough.  Tight devoted bottom and steel hard cock in a perfect fat compact size for sucking.  The only snag is that she reminds me a bit of Paeng, Sensations Scott's ex who I did before him but subsequently turned me off because of the association to Scott.

(ii) As far as the Romscars jury is concerned, Delirious is as of now the frontrunner for the 2022 Thailand's Ladyboy Bar of the Year.

Here are some more pics of the 3 sissies who put me into delirium semens:

I always think to myself, Isn't it great that we have different tastes. It's what makes the world go around. Not much in that collection that would make me leave home.

It seems Rom that you have a liking for the young boy style.

As for Herbert. I would rank him as the best bar owner in Pattaya. Bar none. Oh shit, excuse the pun.

This is another post where I blab away.  Skip it if you are here for the sissy pics or the broad swipes by me and at me.  Like I did earlier for BKK, here are some personal post-covid impressions on Pattaya:

Overall vibe:  Clearly less crowded, but plenty of tourists and natives all over.  I did not see the russians, nor the buses with Chinese.  On the other hand, plenty of middle-easterners and what seemed to me as record numbers of Indians/Pakistanis.  Many street level businesses and medium-big size hotels are still closed.  Especially along Second Road but that's perhaps also because it is undergoing a major upgrade of the sewage mains.

Prices:  The hop-in buses are still 10 baht and hotels are giving away rooms at less than pre-covid prices.  The big boxes with 50 kamagras are down to 800 baht.  But the rest is all more expensive: from 7-11 shit in general, to restaurant prices, to drinks at most bars and especially the BARFINES everywhere but Delirious that still has an after-midnight discounted 300 baht barfine. The cartel price for a taxi to the airport is now 1,000 baht.  To BKK 1,200 (I paid). The Bolt alternative was more (1,500+) but Bolt for in Pattaya-Jomtien transportation saved me much money over the corner motorbikes that should not be more than 50 baht but they always haggle for more. Legit massages up to 200 baht hour (from 150 last time I did) but happy endings still 500 tip.

Walking Street:  The neon lights don't shine as intensely as they used to but most (not all) bars and go-gos are open with plenty of attractive ladies hustling you in outside.  Jenny Star bar that refuge of old botched thieving sissies was closed. Marine Disco seemed closed (or maybe was too early when I passed) and Tony is no more.  I think the Tony empire crumbled bc I did not see his ads around. Plenty of freelancers standing on the sides of Walking Street.  New clubs catering to middle-easterners. The biggest change for me was the Issaan live music club at the start of Walking Street that was closed.  I used to bring the sissies there to bond.

The beaches:  South Pattaya and Jomtien both seemed to me more clean and with more sand than I remembered.  Definitely had fewer farang beach goers.  Did not see the jet ski scammers.

North Pattaya: it's like post-war desolation.  those big bar plazas at the northern end of Second Road all gone. soi 1 and soi 2 reduced to a few whores.  The Naklua stretch still has the bars but seemed dead when I passed.

soi 6:  a few bars closed but wild as usual with plenty of sluts lined up all the way.  What I did not see were sissies.  Have ladyboys been eradicated from soi 6? (only went there one time around 8 PM).

other sois off Beach Road:  they seem to be slowly emptying of monger venues.  Still plenty of action on Sois 7-8, 13/1 and 13/2 but again not what it used to be and no ladyboy-only bars.  13/3 and 13/4 are dead in the water.

soi Made in Thailand:  bulldozed.  the bars likely moved upstream to Tree Town that is packed.  But again: no sissy bars and the 69 bar was lost for good.

some new areas of bar consolidation: motorbiking around I noticed at least 2 beer plaza areas between 2nd road and Buakhao that I did not remember having so many bars before.  Perhaps the bars that closed elsewhere moved there which would be a positive thing. Sorry I did not take note of where precisely those stretches are.

Twink venuesBoys Town is all but dead although they put some lighted arch with a guard standing by in the access to it from soi 13/4.  Sunee dead.  As far as I can tell, the place to go for twinks is now that alley soy when you arrive in Jomtien.  Quite a few bars open with those disturbing rows of old white men starring at each other from across the soi.  Good luck finding a money boy younger than late 20s...

Buakhao and Chaiyapoom :  ROCKING! within a 150 meters radius off the intersection.  However, as you get further it's dead like Action Plaza where it's pitiful to even look at Sensations and the other bars empty of staff and customers.  Tree Town, that U-shaped soi with the girlie go-gos, Chayapoom and the parallel soi and the Buakhao stretch connecting all those are the place to party in Pattaya now. PERIOD!

Ladyboy Bars :  Fewer than before but still enough to butterfly across bars for the duration of most stays. I got hooked on Delirious and spent too much time there to survey all the others.  Pook and Duangjai caught my attention and some of my money.  Katoeys 'Я' Us  has fewer staff but remains the more upscale and pricier venue.  Jomtien seems to have only 1 bar with 2 ladyboys.

Street Action:   Plenty of GG sluts old and young on Beach road and some botched-surgery overweight sissies.  Where I found many ladyboy freelancers, including some silicone-free skinny ones, was at the intersection of Buakhao and Chaiyapoon.  I did not remember seeing them there before and one night I counted 15 almost shoulder-to-shoulder.

That's already long and I have a postie about to arrive from Issaan.  Hope this helps as a debrief for those who have not traveled back to post-covid TH.

Rom

 

To close: a quick Trivia QUIZZ:  The image below is of a former Pattaya iconic sight that is no more.  What was it? What made it so iconic?

I don't remember where I stayed the first couple of times I visited Pattaya.  But in 1999 I stumbled on the internet on the webpage of a new porn-themed Pattaya hotel called Penthouse.  It had an in-house go-go with a closed circuit channel of the GGs dancing onstage broadcast to the rooms; mirrors on the ceiling; jacuzzis; dance poles; sex swings; and it was decorated with an overload of kitschy Thai knick-knacks.  It was also openly ladyboy-friendly, which not many hotels were back then.  The room rates were competitive, the location was prime (back then!) and I gave it a try.  It was there I purchased my first Viagra pill from the manager who got them from an Australian doctor hotel guest (Viagra had just recently came out and was not available everywhere like now).  I stayed there on all my subsequent trips through 2006 when said manager embarked on a megalomanous expansion of the hotel and began to nickel-and-dime the guests with pesky added charges every each way he could (like charging the VAT in addition to the published prices, and little service charges for everything from using the indoor pool to extra toilet paper).  After that, I stayed at other locations all over Pattaya but often return to the Penthouse hotel sois (13/3 and 13/4; 13/5? is Boys Town) and as I write these words I am indeed in soi 13/4 across the Penthouse.

Let's talk about the 2 Penthouse owner-partners: Ian and Dudley.  Ian was a party dude and pehaps the main money man. Only talked to him once.  Died suddenly and mysteriously while visiting South Africa.  Dudley was the working manager always at his post at the hotel and the visionary micro-manager who turned the Penthouse into the white elephant it became.  He was also a con sleazeball and you could tell it from a mile away.  Everytime we talked he steered the conversation towards me investing in the hotel in exchange for a lifetime of free stays, drinks and barfines.  I am sure other more gullible punters fell for it.

Just after we met, Dudley married one of the hotel's go-go dancers who went from a total Thai hottie to a dragon lady bossing him around. At some point he got a hot pinay GF with whom he had 2 children.  They separated and she took the children back to the PH and then he went there, the pinay died, and he brought the children back to Pattaya.   Rumours abound.  The older child was a girl of 11 yo he would have dancing onstage with the sluts.  To his credit, he was into ladyboys himself and pioneered in Pattaya the co-ed ladyboy/GGs go-go.  At some point it became ladyboys only (Obsessions) and it had some damn good ones.  All this to say, Dudley was a complex character and not the most ethical one.

Once a business looses a customer, it is extremely hard to get him back.  And that's what happened with the Penthouse customers like me. We stopped coming back.  Dudley apparently doubled down on the new customers and that's when the outrageous charges for use of the pool, toilet paper, taking the lift started.  With all the construction work (and noise!), the cash-flow had to be negative and the hotel closed prior even to covid (2018?).  I asked at The Shamrock across the street, and Dudley and the Thai wife retreated to an island near her hometown in the south of Thailand where they run a smaller beach hotel...

The Penthouse seats vacant for rent or sale like a relic of glory days past on a dead soi becoming indianized...

Interesting. I had seen adds for the pethouse hotel when I was a newby in 2011, then forgot about it. However, what's funny is that their website is till operational. They even announce that someone has booked a room recently.

This is another post where I blab away.  Skip it if you are here for the sissy pics or the broad swipes by me and at me.  Like I did earlier for BKK, here are some personal post-covid impressions on Pattaya:

Overall vibe:  Clearly less crowded, but plenty of tourists and natives all over.  I did not see the russians, nor the buses with Chinese.  On the other hand, plenty of middle-easterners and what seemed to me as record numbers of Indians/Pakistanis.  Many street level businesses and medium-big size hotels are still closed.  Especially along Second Road but that's perhaps also because it is undergoing a major upgrade of the sewage mains.

Prices:  The hop-in buses are still 10 baht and hotels are giving away rooms at less than pre-covid prices.  The big boxes with 50 kamagras are down to 800 baht.  But the rest is all more expensive: from 7-11 shit in general, to restaurant prices, to drinks at most bars and especially the BARFINES everywhere but Delirious that still has an after-midnight discounted 300 baht barfine. The cartel price for a taxi to the airport is now 1,000 baht.  To BKK 1,200 (I paid). The Bolt alternative was more (1,500+) but Bolt for in Pattaya-Jomtien transportation saved me much money over the corner motorbikes that should not be more than 50 baht but they always haggle for more. Legit massages up to 200 baht hour (from 150 last time I did) but happy endings still 500 tip.

Walking Street:  The neon lights don't shine as intensely as they used to but most (not all) bars and go-gos are open with plenty of attractive ladies hustling you in outside.  Jenny Star bar that refuge of old botched thieving sissies was closed. Marine Disco seemed closed (or maybe was too early when I passed) and Tony is no more.  I think the Tony empire crumbled bc I did not see his ads around. Plenty of freelancers standing on the sides of Walking Street.  New clubs catering to middle-easterners. The biggest change for me was the Issaan live music club at the start of Walking Street that was closed.  I used to bring the sissies there to bond.

The beaches:  South Pattaya and Jomtien both seemed to me more clean and with more sand than I remembered.  Definitely had fewer farang beach goers.  Did not see the jet ski scammers.

North Pattaya: it's like post-war desolation.  those big bar plazas at the northern end of Second Road all gone. soi 1 and soi 2 reduced to a few whores.  The Naklua stretch still has the bars but seemed dead when I passed.

soi 6:  a few bars closed but wild as usual with plenty of sluts lined up all the way.  What I did not see were sissies.  Have ladyboys been eradicated from soi 6? (only went there one time around 8 PM).

other sois off Beach Road:  they seem to be slowly emptying of monger venues.  Still plenty of action on Sois 7-8, 13/1 and 13/2 but again not what it used to be and no ladyboy-only bars.  13/3 and 13/4 are dead in the water.

soi Made in Thailand:  bulldozed.  the bars likely moved upstream to Tree Town that is packed.  But again: no sissy bars and the 69 bar was lost for good.

some new areas of bar consolidation: motorbiking around I noticed at least 2 beer plaza areas between 2nd road and Buakhao that I did not remember having so many bars before.  Perhaps the bars that closed elsewhere moved there which would be a positive thing. Sorry I did not take note of where precisely those stretches are.

Twink venuesBoys Town is all but dead although they put some lighted arch with a guard standing by in the access to it from soi 13/4.  Sunee dead.  As far as I can tell, the place to go for twinks is now that alley soy when you arrive in Jomtien.  Quite a few bars open with those disturbing rows of old white men starring at each other from across the soi.  Good luck finding a money boy younger than late 20s...

Buakhao and Chaiyapoom :  ROCKING! within a 150 meters radius off the intersection.  However, as you get further it's dead like Action Plaza where it's pitiful to even look at Sensations and the other bars empty of staff and customers.  Tree Town, that U-shaped soi with the girlie go-gos, Chayapoom and the parallel soi and the Buakhao stretch connecting all those are the place to party in Pattaya now. PERIOD!

Ladyboy Bars :  Fewer than before but still enough to butterfly across bars for the duration of most stays. I got hooked on Delirious and spent too much time there to survey all the others.  Pook and Duangjai caught my attention and some of my money.  Katoeys 'Я' Us  has fewer staff but remains the more upscale and pricier venue.  Jomtien seems to have only 1 bar with 2 ladyboys.

Street Action:   Plenty of GG sluts old and young on Beach road and some botched-surgery overweight sissies.  Where I found many ladyboy freelancers, including some silicone-free skinny ones, was at the intersection of Buakhao and Chaiyapoon.  I did not remember seeing them there before and one night I counted 15 almost shoulder-to-shoulder.

That's already long and I have a postie about to arrive from Issaan.  Hope this helps as a debrief for those who have not traveled back to post-covid TH.

To close: a quick Trivia QUIZZ:  The image below is of a former Pattaya iconic sight that is no more.  What was it? What made it so iconic?

 Great post. I haven't read anything better dealing with Pattaya for years.

nice report so far Rom!

 

waiting on more BKK news.

and how about my favorite places in Pattaya..... KRU, Fantasy Lounge and 69?

 

And how about the vibe of the girls? Jaded....angry....or bright and so happy to see the business and fun returning?

 

(I know unfortunately the various LB places at Soi BBoom are no longer. How about the places above?)

 

 

i dont have my Pattaya street creds of living there or having dozens of trips under my belt like others on this Forum..... but wasnt Buakhao the rockin place in recent years? I found by 2017 it had the best raw vibes for LB Lovers.

Looks like somewhere on Walking st, so I’ll take a stab at Jenny Star bar?

TriviaImage.jpg.d7ce0b52af6a42f6f5f4407c0216618b.jpgWalking Street yes!  but not Jenny Star.  Guess again.  I'll give some clues:  The focal point is NOT the ground floor establishment which used to be one of those seafood restaurants hanging over the water.  The focal point is the now boarded up upper floor little cubicle that everybody used to stare at.

Thanks for the compliment PG.  I just checked myself and indeed the Penthouse website is up with misleading pop-ups saying someone just booked a room.  But it also says "the hotel is closed until further notice due to covid-19".  It does NOT say it's FOR SALE.   Sneaky ol'Dudley may want to give the impression it is an ongoing business.  I peeked inside and did not see any furnishings on the ground floor... that place is NOT ready to come back to life without major investments...

Hi The-Sith.  As mentioned above, 69 was bulldozed along with all the soi MIT bars.  KRUs is there, but fewer sissies and zero customers both times I went there.  I'll post about it later.  Buakhao area (not just street!) is rocking more than ever and within that area soi Chaiyapoon is on fire and is the place for broader horizon mongers like us who graduated past the GG go-gos.   The Tree Town ?Plaza? which did not exist 4 years ago is fully occupied with bars AND RESTAURANTS.  Fantasy Lounge was there but I did not see the love of your life Sandy.  I also did not see ubercock Polla that I hoped to get on my knees for (NOT on my hands-and-knees).  The sissies' vibes seemed same-same as before and they are definitely striving for business.  In my case it's getting hard to gauge the vibe. I've had 3 sissies I wish I had LTed skidoodling after the fudge-packing while in the past they would all stay with me even during daytime.  But I suspect the main reason is not "jaded sissies" but the fact that I got old and am no longer as "sexyman-handsome" despite what the ladies cry out when I walk the sois of Pattaya. 

I did see at Pook one ladyboy that I can't get out of my mind and I will take this opportunity to include her in the TR, which I had hesitated as to avoid giving away a gem indiscriminately.  But it's not like she cares for me, at least not yet, so here goes.  Her name is Annie (not sure of spelling) and works at Pook Bar and has an exquisite body like a beautiful 20 yo farang lady the kind I no longer aspire to score.  Add to that her magnetic personality, and I put her on par with Lily in terms of allure, but unlike Lily she is strictly bottom with a smallish pecker.  I am surprised no one else is raving about her (also at PY!) but to me she is the find of the trip... No nude peeps for this one Sorry! cant risk being ratted as I plan to tap that ass further and with a seduction game plan more effective than showing up at her bar with another sissy in tow.

I think that would be the lb bar on right hand side just as you came into Walking Street. The lbs would dance at the front so everyone below could see them. The little cubicle was used for sts. I can't remember the name of the bar. I only went there once ten years ago.

Thanks for the TR Rom, good to get an update on Pattaya. I haven't been there for years, I stayed in Jomtien in recent years, but I'll be there in Jan/Feb.
