Dog Day at Dongtan

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie Where They May

Right? Even if it’s right in front of the door at the 7-11 store. This one’s on the corner of Thap Phraya and Jomtien 5 road, at the entrance to the lovely Dongtan gay beach. Here’s a funny story about a doggone of a time I had trying to purchase breakfast there.

No Need To Bark

This morning, before it turns panting hot, I’m at the 7-11 buying a large yogurt drink, the 22 baht size. A teenage girl with half her hair pulled up on top like a Tibetan temple dog, orders, no, barks at me, to get the small ten baht size. I shrug, and politely try to gesture I want the big one. I can’t understand what Ms. Lion is yapping about, so she hops over the counter and fetches the small one, and scans it in anyway.

Howling Funny

Whatever, I’m not getting into this dogfight at 8am. I hand her the money, and she see’s my perfectly groomed black fingernails with clear glitter overcoat. She giggles, wagging her top-knot back and forth. So I show her the toenails, and she howls with laughter! Every dog has it’s day, right?

Foaming At The Mouth

Any way, I get home, look at the receipt, and notice the small one was on sale for only three baht. Son-of-a-bitch! For half the price I could have had twice as much. Since this bargain hunting spotter can’t be weaned from a good deal, I’m now foaming at the mouth to race back and fill a dog sled full.

Dongtan Darlings

Sawasdee krap from delightful Dongtan Beach, the mostly gay area of Jomtien. It’s just a stone’s throw from Pattaya, Thailand, the “Extreme City”. Believe it or not, after two and a half weeks, I’ve only made it into town just once for a taste of the wild nightlife. At my age, ha-sip-ha (55), everything I need is within a few hundred feet of my lodging at the DD Inn Guesthouse.

Good cheap food, inexpensive shopping, free wifi, massages on the beach, or in the air conditioned parlors, hot and cold running boys, gay bars ranging from sedately friendly to extremely tactile. Just about anything a fifty plus and gay man, trying to age gracefully, or even dis-gracefully, could need or want is right here on Dongtan Beach.

Rub a dub tub, come and join the club of international tourists and expats, enjoying Thailand’s world class hospitality at Dongtan gay beach, where there’s something for everyone.

I manage to amuse myself here with a nightly sunset joy walk, seeing just how many cute guys I can get to let me take their picture.  There’s no shortage of sweet, friendly, sexy guys perfectly happy to indulge me in my lecherous photo adventures. So I hope you’re also amused, dear viewer, thanks so much for also indulging me!

This is “Boy”. I’m serious, his name is Boy. A delightful princess, always with the latest designer swimwear that leaves just enough for your sordid imagination. He stops by to chat for just a bit, asking how you’re doing, sharing something from his day, and then moving along. Not pushy at all like some of the “moneyboys” can be. He works at one of the bars in Jomtien Complex, and I believe he already have boyfriend.

This fun bunch works at the green chairs.

At the end of each day, the boys must rake and sweep their area clean. A perfect photo opportunity to exploit with my new Samsung Galaxy S4, I got it just for this trip. Do you see, even his t-shirt says so.

This is Panchan, from the yellow chairs, who quietly slipped me his phone number after I was seated and ordered my Singha beer. Haven’t used it yet, I think he’s str8.

Not to be outdone, the next day these boys from the lime colored chairs aggressively courted my business, and gave me bend over backwards and forwards service. Hamming and posing for as many pictures, and videos, as I liked.

I asked if I could borrow his hair.

See what I mean? These guys are probably straight also, but in Thailand, it’s all relative.

I like his style, we could go shopping together.

Nat, and “Boy”, work in the bar downstairs at the DD Inn. I’m guessing that half the boys in Dongtan are named “Boy”, 555 (Thai slang for hahaha, or lol).

Boy is adorably demure.

My Thai boyfriend, Ran. I’ve known him for five years now, and affectionately refer to him as my “mechanic”.  I highly recommend him for head and ball adjustments.

Ran is a bit camera shy.

Back again at the bar downstairs, Boy and (name?).

I can’t resist hopping on the back of a motorcycle taxi with a cute driver like this one. He must have known I was a softy, he asked for 80 baht for what is normally a 60 baht ride. I told him ok since your so cute. I gave him 100 ($3.35) altogether, for letting me snap a few pics.

I wanted to give him a, umm, foot massage, but a pic will have to do.

Creepy but sexy at the same time, look how flattering those uniforms make those crotches, Oh!, I mean cops, look!

Jomtien Boys Pushing And Pulling…

Man Watching

Watch as these hard working young men clean their concession area of Jomtien’s gay beach, pushing and pulling the sand with rakes and smoothing shovels.

Sweet Service

Every day at the beginning and end of the day, the sand must be swept of trash and debris. This particular section is a favorite of gay tourists: Rit Beach Orange Chairs section 15. To pull in more customers, free wifi is offered, and top notch bend over backwards and forwards service is given by these gorgeous cutie pies. The pie faced sweetie-pie in the hat is especially nice to me, always making sure I have what I need, smiling and batting his eyelashes, why, he even gives me pieces of mint candy!

Anything You Want Meesta?

A minor annoyance at Jomtien Beach are the peddlers, constantly hawking their wares and services, such as porn dvd’s, poppers, viagra, cialis, the latest un-authorised Hollywood releases often before they hit the screens in the US, chachkas, jewelry, watches, ice cream, deep fried seafood, massages, manicures, pedicures, etc.

One item I found quite amusing was a plastic pig that quacked like a duck when squeezed. I want one!

Easy Pushover

At the end of this video, you can see that I’m an easy pushover as I give in to an older woman pedicurist. I remembered her from last year, so I had no problem trusting her with all those sharp and pointy instruments being used on my delicate little tootsies. She did such a good job, on my hands too, all for about $9us. Now I must go and find some black nail polish.
