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  means getting to enjoy a special gay culture. In fact, most of the people that enjoy gay activities are not local Thais but are people from the Western countries. So, if you want to meet gays or enjoy gay sexual capers then chances are that you will need to find a foreign gay companion.

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.

If you are gay and are living or visiting Thailand then you must understand that Thais do not accept or like people to show their affection publicly. In fact, even heterosexuals are not encouraged to kiss or even hold hands in public. This means that if you need to do these things then you should be doing it in public; otherwise you would be offending Thai sensibilities.

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.

Phuket too has some interesting gay accommodations and an example of this is the place known as Club Bamboo that is picturesquely situated and not far from Phuket. If you want to really enjoy gay travel to Thailand then be advised that most of the gays in this country are foreigners that pair up with a few locals. All in all you can expect to have quite a thrilling gay experience in this part of the world.
