Gay Travel To Bangkok Can Prove To Be An Adventure

January 26th, 2010

A wonderful aspect to gay travel to Bangkok, Thailand is the relative lack of discrimination between gays and the ordinary heterosexual. Thailand is a country where Buddhism is the major religion which seems to be the reason why gays are not made out to be perverts, but are treated at par with straights.

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.

The gay establishments in Thailand are mostly commercial by nature and involve places such as gay bars, go-go clubs as well as massage parlors. A visit to Thailand for gay activities would be incomplete if you did not sample the go-go bars.

An important aspect to being a gay in the country of Thailand is that you must respect local sentiments and not display your affections for your partner in public. Even if you are not a gay you must still respect such sentiments. This means that all sexual activity and displays of affection must be done in private and behind closed doors.

Even so, a few nude beaches in the country offer you a chance to be more public about your feelings but these are exceptions and not the rule.

There is also a nice place for gays to live in Phuket and this place (Club Bamboo) is set in a very picturesque surrounding and it has a pool and sauna and also a fitness center.

If you want to enjoy gay travel to Thailand 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.

A Few Recommendations On A Gay Vacation To Bangkok, Thailand

January 26th, 2010

A unique aspect to gay travel to Bangkok is that people in this country do not have any prejudice toward gays and nor do they, like in the US, differentiate between gays and those people that are straight. 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.

Another aspect to gay travel to Bangkok is that Thailand has its own gay culture though most  of the participants that engage in gay activities are Westerners. So, if you are looking to  enjoy gay sex or make friends with gays you will in all probability be doing so with  Westerners.

The gay establishments in Thailand are mostly commercial by nature and involve places such as gay bars, go-go clubs as well as massage parlors. A visit to Thailand for gay activities would be incomplete if you did not sample the go-go bars.

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.

In Bangkok you will be able to find some interesting gay accommodations including a place  called Babylon. In fact, there are two of these that are adjacent as well as affiliated to  each other but which have their own entrances. The rooms here are quite Spartan though they  are also quite stylish and the cost of the room includes a chance to use the saunas.

There is also a nice place for gays to live in Phuket and this place (Club Bamboo) is set in a very picturesque surrounding and it has a pool and sauna and also a fitness center.

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.

Interesting Destination Information Regarding Gay Travel To New York

January 25th, 2010

New York City is a popular destination for gay tourists from around the world. It is the largest of all the cities in the US and justifiably has a culture and atmosphere that cannot be compared.  There is a very old gay and lesbian scene that stretches back almost one hundred years. Gay travel to New York is usually centred around Manhattan but other areas such as Brooklyn are also becoming popular of late. Manhattan stands out for its incredible shopping experiences, world class nightlife, and five star dining.

Visitors come to New York City any month of the year. The most popular time has always been during the summer, this is especially true with gay tours from Europe. Fall can be a wonderful time to experience what’s on offer and is certainly a season with a charm all of its own. In winter it can be very cold and may even snow, but this can create a warm and cozy feel when sitting in a bar or restaurant.

The gay and lesbian festivals and events can be found throughout the year. New Year’s celebrations are unmatched anywhere. During spring there are the NewFest and Tribecca film festivals that attract many gay visitors. New York City’s main Gay Pride event occurs in late June with smaller versions held earlier in the month in Queens and Brooklyn. Halloween is also a popular time to camp it up.

Before visiting the city it is good to have a little information on how it is laid out. There are five main boroughs. Manhattan is actually a small island found between the East River and Hudson River. Queens and Brooklyn are situated on the edge of Long Island, not so far across the East River from Manhattan.

The city has an excellent mass transit system that is easy to use and very affordable. It doesn’t really make sense to hire a car or bring your own as the traffic does not flow quickly and the parking costs are expensive.

New York City is well connected to all the other East Coast urban areas through rail links and long distance bus services. Those flying in will arrive at one of three airports, of which La Guardia is the most convenient for Manhattan
