Boyztown in Pattaya Central was the place to go for the best go-go-boy shows in Thailand. COVID hit the gayborhood really hard, and while it’s slowly rebuilding, it’s taking time.

There are a few bars left from pre-COVID days, and more are opening. Similar to the bars in the Jomtien Complex, you can sit and drink alone or spend time with a money boy. The bars are in a strip next to Pattaya Soi 13/4. Panorama Pub, Serene Bar, Castro, and Toy Boys can all be found there.

Two go-go-style show bars are operating in Pattaya Soi 13/3: X-Boys and Dreamboys. With the government ban on sex shows, the bars are geared more toward the guest taking the boy home, although if you’re lucky, you may see a full sex show at X-Boys.

If you want to spend a few hours with a sexy guy, head to one of these bars. The boys stand around on a stage in speedos with a number pinned on them. Tell the waiter the number of the guy you fancy, and he’ll come and sit with you. Buy him a drink and negotiate a price, and then you go back to your hotel.
