Gay Travel To Bangkok Can Prove To Be An Adventure Of A Lifetime

By Greg Scott


One notable difference between what you should expect if you are making plans on gay travel to Bangkok is that unlike in the US in Thailand the people do not make any differentiations between straight people and gays. Being a predominantly Buddhist country there is little guilt associated for being gay and most Thais in any case have a habit of having sex - either the straight way or as gays.

Gay travel to Bangkok will provide many interesting opportunities because the country has its own gay oriented culture even though most of the people engaged in gay activities in Thailand are foreigners from the West. This means that if you are seeking some gay action in this country you will normally find yourself doing it with foreigners from the West.

Most gay oriented establishments in Thailand are commercial and include go-go clubs, bars and massage parlors and also saunas and these are the places where you can find gay partners and gay action. The go-go boy bars in Thailand are especially gay oriented and if you have never visited these then you will not be able to say that you have experienced true gay life in Thailand.

One important issue about being gay in Thailand is that public displays of affection are not welcome and in fact will be frowned upon. So, it pays to respect Thai sentiments and culture and ensure that you confine yourself to kissing or hugging in privacy rather than out on the streets. Of course, being nude in public in Thailand is absolutely forbidden though you can do so at a sprinkling of nude beaches in Thailand.

There is however a smattering of nude beaches spread across different parts of Thailand where you can be affectionate in public; but, these are the exceptions rather than the rule. Bangkok provides some good accommodations for gays though even so the accommodations they find are not totally meant for gays because ordinary travelers too use such accommodation. Babylon is one of the better places for gays to find accommodation though the rooms are quite Spartan though still stylish and the room rent is affordable and includes use of saunas.

In Phuket, there is a nice gay accommodation in the form of Club Bamboo which is small and very friendly to gays though not entirely a gay option. This is a nice resort that is picturesquely situated among lovely palm trees and it has sauna, pool and a fitness center. You can hire a cab from Phuket or you can walk for about twenty minutes to reach this place.

If you want to enjoy gay travel to Bangkok then there are many interesting opportunities and much to see and do in this wonderful country that has quite a unique gay culture which for the most part is being spawned by Westerners.
