Gay Areas of PattayaPattaya, if you’re gay, can give you whatever you want in a truly welcoming background. There is virtually no discrimination and you can really relax in an atmosphere of comfort untouched by most safety fears. There are three concentrated areas in Pattaya specifically targeted by gay residents and tourists alike. Thailand in general and Pattaya in particular has a remarkably tolerant attitude towards gays and they welcome you with big smiles and open hearts. In Pattaya there are hundreds of good looking Thai gay boys working in the bars, restaurants, massage parlours, discos and even on the gay beach. Pattayaland just up Beach Road from Walking Street has a profusion of gay bars, massage parlours, discos and even one whole soi (road) called “Boyztown”. These are interspersed with girly bars, bikers’ bars and the odd restaurant which appears more in keeping with daytime Pattaya. The three sois form a square of gay nightlife. You simply pick the venues, what or who you fancy and try it out. They are quite happy if you move on after one drink if it’s not your scene. Inland 5/600 metres from half-way down Walking Street from Beach Road is the gay area around Soi VC (the VC hotel is at the end on the other side of Pratumnak Road). There are many gay bars all along this street and off to the right, halfway up is a smaller lane full of neon with clubs, bars, dancing, boys clubs and much more called Sunee Plaza. Further up Soi VC, or you can walk up South Pattaya Road from the beach end, you cannot miss the ‘Day and Night Hotel’. Around and behind the hotel is a large variety of gay venues. Some very smart bars are in this area as well as some very good restaurants all with mainly gay patronage. Many of these are very good value for money, others are very smart and very expensive. You are likely to be served by very good looking Thai boys in any of these restaurants, or indeed in the local bars, massage parlours or clubs. “Hollywood” just off South Pattaya Road is a large music venue and features bands playing Thai and Western music as well as having a disco. There are quite a few gay hotels in the area and others within very easy reach. These hotels sometimes have spas and massage facilities, with handsome, friendly Thai young men to cater for your every need. At busy times it’s worth booking ahead if you want the special treatment you get at one of the better ones. Outside Pattaya, around 20 minutes by car at the end of Jomtien is a gay beach, You can find it on the long extension of Jomtien Beach , and starts when the road veers away from the coast. This beach has similar services to the ones on the popular beaches, with chairs, umbrellas, food and drink vendors and bars. Many gay people like to stay at one of the gay hotels in Jomtien that are convenient for this gay beach, the only one in Thailand.
