Supertown Songkran Street Party

[colmx]

There is another street party in Jomtien complex tonight for Songkran, organized by the same 4 bars as above. I'm told it will get going around 5 or 6

Tuesday 19th and the last night of the Songkran street parties was a great success. No water splashing but plenty of powder was dispersed amongst the crowd and a lot of fun was had by all.

More photos from last night.

Again thank you very much aussie. Your photos are fantastic. Next best thing to being there. It looks like a great time was had by all, including the boys.

I wonder how many of the boys were still there by the end of the night and hadn't been taken off by a farang. My guess - not many . . .

Do you know when I will take down these photos? NEVER!

To quote The Emperor from 'Return of the Jedi' - "There it will stay."

I am always saying the bars need to do things to attract customers. If these photos are any indication, this set of street parties certainly attracted crowds of customers. I wouldn't recommend doing this sort of thing too often. If it becomes routine it also eventually becomes a bore. However, once in awhile would draw in the customers. I would leave it to the bars to decide how often, but events like this seem to be a good start. It shows if the bars cooperate with each other and plan properly, from where I sit it certainly looks like a good beginning and I hope they get together and plan more activities that can maintain the momentum, especially once the bars are officially allowed to reopen - as bars.

Keep up the good work bar owners. Don't let this be merely a flash in the pan.

If they do it right, it looks to me like Pattaya's gay scene stands a chance of making a comeback after all.

Just an observation - from these photos it appears virtually nobody was wearing the face mask and nobody gave a damn about social distancing. I hope that doesn't turn out to have been a mistake.

It's good to see some life in Jomtien. I also agree that they shouldn't make it routine.

The streetshow in Boyztown was exactly that. I praised it when they started. However, once it was open almost every time we visited, with too many lady boy acts for my tastes and LOUD music, I quickly lost interest. There was the one amusing exception when someone flailing flaming sticks around had the end fly off and it was burning away under a table until the ice bucket was emptied on it.

The Jomtien party looks like it has more variety, more fun and a lower percentage of lady boys. The music volume seems good from about 5000 miles away.
