Room Club closed

Post by Trongpai »

I noticed yesterday that the Room Club on Dong Tan Beach is closed. There's a sign that says "'RENOVATIONS", it's all boarded up but no one is there renovating, yet?

Closing for renovation and not renovating during the high season, makes no sense.

"Renovations" means permanently closed.

See Happy Boys for a classic example

Still closed (01.17.2016) for "RENOVATION" but the sign is getting old looking. No renovations yet.

On a brighter note concessions are now 6 rows deep (from 3) and there's no problem getting a free chair except on "cleaning day" Wednesday. The chairs are also better spaced. Supply and demand are in pretty good equilibrium now.

So something changed but I don't have a clue. I asked but the answer was to not to ask questions!

Update: On a recent visit to DongTarn (24 March, 2016) I noticed that there are indeed renovations on going at the Room Club after many months of closure and inactivity.

Beach concessions remain restricted to 4 rows and packed in like sardines. The Army is still checking. You're elbow to elbow with crusty- old- harry- sweaty- smelly- wrinkled- bald- fat and sometimes smoking farangs. Other than that, it's nice.

Boys. What about boys? Are there boys at the beach or is it still virtually devoid of boys?

Whom are you referring to? Don't leave me guessing!

Other then the occasional cute staff or walking vendor or boy brought by a Farang, none. (visit last Monday about 1 to 4 pm)

Agreed, boys are just about absent. Boys on the beach, farang shopping, are a thing of the past. I fired up Grinder on the beach many times and it's almost all farangs.
