Phuket gay scene

Posted by Andaman Sam on April 15th, 2010 filed in Activities, Partying

Phuket is an international destination attracting people from Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States. And since Phuket has been vaulted to become one of the Condo Nast’s Magazine’s top ten tropical destinations in the world and because of its Sandy beaches, access to the amazing Pha Na Bay with its dramatic formation and numerous smaller islands, has become on of Thailand’s Gay destination because of the following reasons.

-       You can live a highlife in Phuket for a week with the same amount of money you could spend in a day in Hawaii or the Caribbean would cost you for a day and has a lot of activities including world class water sports (a top world Snorkeling and Scuba diving destination)

-       A lot of cafes and restaurants which offer both fantastic western dishes and Thai cuisines, countless boutique hotels and guesthouses – both stylish and inexpensive as well as the usual world class 5-star hotel chains.

-       Phuket having an international airport, has made it easy to become accessible by the Gay community and you don’t need to carry a lot of clothes since life on the Island is casual because of the tropical weather with plenty of sunshine which means people, mostly Gay, spend their day at the beaches where you don’t much clothes and everything is available to you like food, cool drinks, beach wear, sunglasses and only put on proper clothe for the evening, having dinner or go clubbing.

-       Phuket attracts a lot of Gay people because the whether you are an adventurer, sports enthusiast, sightseer or world class shopper or even night time person, you will never be bored in Phuket, there is simply a lot to do but you can decide to be lazy and spend a day laying at the beach

-       Like Amsterdam, Sitges, Fire Island and San Francisco, Phuket is one of the world’s most exciting Gay play grounds and if you are in Thailand and you haven’t experienced Gay lifestyle, this is the place to be, because of the fabulous Gay Night Life which offers all different Gay scenes,  to choose from, cute boys to take home with you, canoe in the hidden caves, sight seeing, have a tailor make a costume or custom suite for you, dance away at night, or just spend a lazy day laying at the beach.

-       The Gay lifestyle in Phuket is centered in the tourist hub of Patong bay where there are dozens and dozens of gay venues, hotels, restaurants, night clubs and shops. There is always something going in the Gay hub, gay festivals in April to the Vegetarian festival in October, Unique holiday and celebrations all year long.

My personal recommendation is that rent a bike or scooter for around 5 dollars a day, explore the island, go native and be gay all you like because Phuket has one of the friendliest people in Thailand and don’t forget to take a camera.
