Suzy Size had a splendid time when revisiting gay Chiang Mai recently. The scene has increased enormously in the last few years. Have a look at the Pink Pages of Sticky Rice Gay Guide Asia and Gay Guide World. All those different massage places alone are very inviting. Suzy was sitting in her room and checked them all out thanks to Wifi. Was she going over to Lavender Lanna massage? River House Massage looked inviting, too. But first she went for a walk. Since Suzy was walking near Classic House that fair afternoon, she decided to give it another try, never change a winning horse, your heroine has been here before and then came out very satisfied.

Suzy Size got her act together and fled the boredom of her self inflicted hibernation in Pattaya. Rumor had it that a fantastic new gay hotel had opened in Chiang Mai. With over 100 rooms, dedicated massage boys, show, 24 hours restaurant this sounded heavenly. So your horny heroine was curious as always, wanted to know the truth, see for herself, shed fact from fiction and booked an inexpensive flight up there. Read more

I had always taken my gay holidays in Thailand in Pattaya or Bangkok, or both-having limited time for simply site-seeing and wanting to take full and carnal advantage of the gorgeous gay youths available in both those places. However, I was persuaded by a friend to visit him at his home in the mountains north of Chiang Mai and, before spending a day or two with him, I decided to stay in gay town of Chiang Mai City and "test the water" as it were.

Why all this glowing praise for Chiang Mai? It is just a dull provincial town in the north of Thailand full of brash young, co-ed, hetero back-packers and too few places for a respectable gay cruiser to go. Not only is it dull it so far from the sea! Holidays, from my youth (a long time ago I`ll admit) have always meant the seaside and without the sound of the surf, however mild, and the smell of sea borne ozone, a holiday is just not a holiday. More importantly, where, without a gay beach, can you see the display of bronze and tan bodies with well defined pecs, washboard stomachs and tight buns that offer themselves for the visual (and more) delectation of the lick-lipping elder gentlemen (like myself) who throng to Pattaya`s beach, for example.

“Good show now on Sir, special show for you, many boys.” The spiel of the handsome doorman is insistent, as he takes your hand and escorts you to the door the tender trap is set. In the gloom of the room the strains of ‘Hey Big Spender’ blast from the sound system, a reminder that a punter and his ... Read more

Arriving in Chiang Mai from hot and somewhat humid Phuket and having been picked up punctually at the airport by the friendly driver of Lotus Hotel, we were very grateful for the refreshing breezes that cooled us in th... Read more

by Troy North Chai has never been great on couple-cruising, but holidays tend to loosen things-not only one’s purse-strings but one’s morals, or, say, one’... Read more

’Sorry... Happy New Year.’ Number 7 was cute enough, but smiling inanely and making no sense at all. It wasn’t even Christmas yet. What was he getting at? ’But have berth on night train on 1 January,’ he prattled on. Ah, so that was it. Clerk number 7 at the Hualumpong booking... Read more

Early May saw Chiang Mai invaded by the Asian Development Bank, holding its 33rd Annual Meeting. Once predictably dull affairs (sorry bankers), these are now spiced with ritual protests from howling mobs of those he... Read more

If you’re the there’s-gotta-be-a-beach type, then the northern city of Chiang Mai is not for you. But if you want lots of old temples, emerald-green landscapes, mountain vistas, and gentle, attractive guys, “The Rose of the North,” is well worth a detour. The first-time tourist is certain to be ... Read more

It was dark when the porters came to make our beds on the Special Express Sleeper from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. We had just pulled out of Ayutthaya station and the car was filling up with backpackers. Bells clanged, the... Read more

The wit who cleverly defined B&B as "bed and boy," a happy play on "bed and breakfast," certainly nailed down many a gay traveller’s priorities. Such deluxe service isn’t, alas, always available, but the discriminating gay tourist’s minimum wants surely include hassle-free accommodation for an ov... Read more
