Review: Boyz Boyz Boyz in Pattaya, Thailand

Boyz Boyz Boyz is a popular bar in Pattaya. As the name would suggest it is a “boys bar” meaning the place is staffed by men. I am not gay and I don’t have any sexual interest in men. But I do find this place interesting. For the last ten years I have covered the commercial sex industry around the world here on Rockit Reports. It only seems fitting that I would cover a place like this too.

In an indirect way I have already written about Boyz Boyz Boyz and the surrounding Boyztown to some degree. Back in 2019 I mentioned the bar in my report on female sex tourism in Pattaya. A year later I published an interview with a guy who worked there. But I haven’t yet reviewed Boyz Boyz Boyz itself. I will do that now.

Boyz Boyz Boyz

Boyz Boyz Boyz is one of the largest bars in Boyztown. This area takes up what is about the size of a city block and is filled with a few bars. Men work in these bars but they attract a combination of male and female customers. At Boyz Boyz Boyz the female customers outnumber the males by a large margin. Guys who work inside the bar tell me this is the norm. A lot of Asian women from countries like Korea and Japan come to the bar to watch the shows and perhaps even barfine a guy or two. It’s also common to find Thai or even Russian women in the audience for the same reason.

The bar is clearly marked. Just inside there are a lot of waiters who are eager to guide customers to seats. On one side of the large and open room there is a big elevate stage. Tables and chairs are oriented all around the room to face the stage. The seating is a mix between a stadium and a lounge. It’s done in a way that everyone gets a good view of the show. If only the Thai go go bars would follow the same model!

Those agogo guys

Another area where Boyz Boyz Boyz excels is in the number of people the place employs. On top of the dozen or more wait staff, there is an MC and at least 2 dozen guys working the stage. There are probably even more than that. On a good night there could easily be forty or fifty guys gyrating around on stage and making goo goo eyes at the ladies in the seats. Some of the guys are Thai. Others are Cambodian or Burmese. I can’t really judge attractiveness since this isn’t my thing. But I can tell you that the guys all look to be in their twenties. They ranged in size from the frail to the buff and muscular. I didn’t see any old or overweight guys. That too might be something Thai go go bars could learn from.

The majority of the guys who work at the club are on stage most of the time. For a long while they sort of just shuffle around or maybe do a little dancing. They wear their normal clothes during this period. I guess it gives the crowd a good chance to look the guys over in regular lighting. Many take advantage of the situation to call guys down from the stage. Customers can buy drinks for the guys to sit with them. They can also pay a barfine if they want to leave with a guy.

From what I am told most of the guys at the bar are straight. Many even have wives and children apparently. This could help explain why the women in the crowd outnumber the men. Especially when bars nearby seem to only have male customers inside. A “boy drink” at this bar costs a few hundred Baht. The bar fine is 1000 Baht ($31 USD). The guys themselves get between 3000 and 10,000 Baht ($92-306) from the customers to render their services outside of the bar. Some women walk into the bar, choose a guy, pay money and leave. But most women and men stay around for the show.

Shows, services, prices and summary

The show starts late at night. It involves a lot of choreographed action timed to match club music. Thankfully the music is not played at blaring levels — a final thing go go bars could learn from this venue. Most of the show involves various groups of guys dancing and at some point taking their shirts off. The conclusion is a funny towel show where the guys pretend to be sporting massive hard-ons under their towels. When one finally whips out his rod he reveals a big rubber dildo that shoots water. There are laughs all around. And this is enough for some who have a couple of drinks, watch the show, have a few laughs and leave. No pressure.

The plentiful wait staff is always around. Some of these guys are gay and not shy to let you know. I don’t think they go out of the bar with customers but I could be wrong. They do help customers find guys on stage they like. Many are also multilingual so they help translate terms between customers and staff. These guys are shy at all unlike some of the men on stage. That means they are quite forward about asking for drinks of their own or even tips. It’s all in good fun though and it’s easy enough to simply and politely say no thanks. So I don’t see an issue.

Overall Boyz Boyz Boyz is a well run place with a fun environment. Everyone from the staff to the other customers in attendance seem happy and friendly. That’s a refreshing change from some of the more sullen hole-in-wall bars you find in Pattaya. I’ve been to some places where the customers look like they’re going to join the Pattaya flight club at any minute. That’s not the case at Boyz Boyz Boyz. Everyone is up beat and out for a good time. It reminds me of the go go bars long ago except without the bikini babes.

You might think it would be difficult for me to rate a place like this since I am not personally interested in men. But that is not the case. I am able to look at the venue and how it operates objectively. Though I must admit some bias. I think I would probably give the bar four stars if it were filled with beautiful women but operated the same way. As it stands I only want to give it three. Please don’t hold it against me.
