%X Tempat ng¨¨b¨¨r, or hanging-out places where gay men in Indonesia meet, can be found in various¡ªthough relativelyhidden¡ªpublic places across Indonesia. Tempat ng¨¨b¨¨r as one of the more prominent sites in the constellation of gayserves not only as a space to find sexual partners, but also to socialize, to be open in expressing oneself, and to gainacceptance from one¡¯s peers. Surabaya has a number of famous, well-known tempat ng¨¨b¨¨r, with Pataya being one ofthe largest places. Yet changes within the last few years have diminished its popularity. Through participant observationand non-formal interviews, this research attempts to understand how Pataya became the more prominent tempat ng¨¨b¨¨rin Surabaya, and what kind of changes have happened that reduced its popularity. Hopefully, this research will bringabout future studies that will investigate various adaptations that can be carried out inside or outside the site itself.
