Bangkok Gays Bars Silom Soi 2

Thailand is a heaven for Gays (Bisexual), as the country is one of the most tolerant in cultures. You may find a lot of gays or lesbians through the capital city, Bangkok.

Thailand has a thriving gay and lesbian bar scene, which attracts tourists from all over the world. Many cities are providing the gays area, such as Hatyai, Pattaya, Phuket. In Bangkok, the gay bars are concentrated along Silom Soi 2 and Soi 4, with Soi 2 being considered 'more gay'. Slightly seedier bars can be found off Surawong Road, along Soi Anuman Rachathon and Soi Tawan. Other bars can be found sprinkled along Sukhumvit, especially Soi 23, and Tanao Road in the Banglumpoo area. All of these bars cater to males only.

The Most famous Gays district in Bangkok, no doubt is Silom Soi 2. Silem Boy 2 is a short lane off Silom crammed with bars and restaurants that caters exclusively to the gay community. Soi 2 is widely considered to be 'more gay' than nearby Soi 4. The bars get hot and sweaty on Friday and Saturday nights and it's hard to move, let alone dance to the trendy underground sounds. Men wandering into these bars at the weekend can expect to be groped from all quarters.

Silom has the most to see, with three Soi’s offering some great gay venues. Silom Soi 2, featuring the famous DJ Station and other pubs, is very popular with the Thai community, making that Soi the most popular Soi on Silom. A two minute walk from there is Silom Soi 2/1, where @Richard’s Pub & Restaurant (Thai & western food) and G.O.D nightclub (after hours dancing) is located. About 4 minutes from there is Silom Soi 4, with Sphinx Restaurant, Balcony Pub, and Telephone Pub; all of them have good food.

In between Silom and Sathorn Road, there are several massage shops to stop in at to have a great massage and relax. On Soi Sala Daeng, you can have a great dinner at Fab Cuisine and next door is a new gay guest house, Baan Sala Daeng. For some fine dining check out Coyote Restaurant and Eat Me Restaurant on Soi Convent. Down a-ways on Naratiwat is the OmYim Lodge for a nice, reasonably-priced guesthouse.

And a trip to gay and lesbian Bangkok would not be complete without an encounter with a “ladyboy” (Katoey in Thai). The majority of ladyboys are “she-males” who are unable to pay for a full sex change operation, and so are exploiting their comfort with being with either men or women. They often do not comply to the generally subservient nature of Thai women, and can be fairly feisty, but they are also renowned for taking good care of their health.

Hua Hin Beach Night Market Shopping

Hua Hin is a famous beach resort town in Thailand, and Thailand's oldest beach town resort, situated on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand and only 200 kilometers from the capital, Bangkok.

While the beaches of Phuket and Samui were discovered only recently and have since undergone rapid and sometimes destructive development, Hua Hin has already been the favourite Thai resort for over 70 years.

Hua Hin is unlike most other beach resorts in Thailand. If you are looking for bright lights and frantic all night action you will be disappointed there. It is very much a family holiday resort area with good shopping and multi-national restaurants including, of course, the best Thai seafood the country has to offer. Idweal Thailand summer holiday beach destination.

The main beach area fronts the town itself where many fine resorts are found. Beaches to the north and south . The beaches at Khao Takiab (Chopsticks Hill) and Takiab Bay (Chopsticks Bay) are just to the south of the town centre.

Hua Hin beaches stretch along the coast both north and south. For out door fun and adventure you can enjoy watersports, Elephant rides, All terrain Vehicle rides, fishing and boat trips. Khao Takiab Bay is a popular beaches with clear clean water and gentle waves, beach loungers and beach umbrellas for shade. Palm trees and Casuarana trees line the long beach at Takiab Bay. These beach areas are also popular for jogging and beach cycling.

The area also offers the opportunity to visit the temples of Khao Takiab, feed the monkeys, climb to the viewpoint. The Khao Takiab area has many temples includes many built many years ago. Snorkeling is available a few hours south . The River Kwai is just 3 hours from Hua Hin . The National Park at Sam Roi Yot (Three Hundred Peaks) is just 30 minutes south of town.

Hua Hin Nightlife
Hua Hin's nightlife offers little in the way of comparison to the hedonistic areas of Phuket, Bangkok and Pattaya. Due to its status as a 'Royal Town' tourism authorities have been making a conscious effort to preserve the heritage of the city.

Hua Hin has one or two soi's dedicated to Bars. Go to the Hilton and walk away from sea. Again there are too many to mention but one or two worth a visit are Jungle Juice (Selakam Rd), Bernys Inn (near the Hilton) a popular Golfers bar, Adrenaline Bar in the Pavillion village Hua Hin offers, beers, wines and cocktails and a happy hour every day from 5pm to 7pm. Lastly a popular favourite with expats and Golfers is the Roadhole on Poolsuk Rd.

There are two night markets in Hua Hin. The main night market is on soi 72 and is open nightly. The second is close to the Grang hotel just south of Hua Hin and is open every evening except Mondays and Tuesdays. The latter has a more local feel.


Hua Hin Nite Life Bars
If you are looking for good night life, I am afraid that Hua Hin is not the place for you. The picture at right says it all, outdoor beer bars with lots of male tourists and very few girls. The girls that they do have are not that appealing, they do not compare to the girls in Bangkok or Pattaya, overall the bar scene here is fairly pathetic. All of the bars are located near the Soi Bintabat area, on a map it looks spread out, but the sois are really little more than lanes, so everything in town is within easy walking distance. All of the bars in this area are "outside" style beer bars that are open air and do not have any real air conditioning.


Hua Hin Beer Bars
While nowhere near as widespread as in say, Pattaya, a generous smattering of beer bars can be found in Hua Hin, mainly around main strip Soi Bintaban. Don’t expect to be wowed by these unadorned drinking holes – they’re typically little more than open front shop houses with a few bar stools, a pool table, and a small arsenal of cheap alcohol.

Very basic and bare. However, if you’re open-minded they can be a lot of fun – drink, play pool, watch sports, enjoy loud music (usually soft rock or Northeastern Isaan music) and exchange chitchat or – if you’re willing and able – flirtations with the small posse of female hostesses.

Hua Hin is the oldest beach in Thailand, located approx. 190km south of Bangkok and 92 kilometres north of Prachuab Khiri Khan

Hua Hin’s famous cabaret show, Blue Angel. It’s a small-scale show that’s large on ladyboy drama, glam, elegance and beauty. Shows at 20:00 and 21:45 every night.



The nightlife scene in Hua Hin is tame compared to say, Pattaya, The majority of the tourists and visitors that come to Hua Hin are couples and families, therefore, the nightlife scene in Hua Hin is tame compared to say, Pattaya, Koh Samui or Patong, Phuket.



Hua Hin Dusit Thani Beach Resort



There are two night markets in Hua Hin. The main night market is on soi 72 and is open nightly. The second is close to the Grang hotel just south of Hua Hin and is open every evening except Mondays and Tuesdays. The latter has a more local feel.



Many restaurants, pubs, bars , different kind of places which different atmosphere to sit , enjoy music and drink, some are open area places which seem popular beside street. The name of the street are Nares Damri Rd, - Phunsuk Rd, - Dechanuchit Rd, - Some part of Phetkrasem Rd. ( Satukarn Square )

Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew Bangkok

The Grand Palace may be one of the main tourist attractions in Bangkok. Since the founding of Bangkok as the Nations capital by King Rama I, The Grand Palace has been the major architectural symbol of The Thai Royal Family. In the present time, The Royal Family resides at Chitralada Palace while The Grand Palace is used for ceremonial purposes.

The main buildings within the Grand Palace compound were built for King Rama V, who was the first Thai King to travel to Europe.

Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace together are probably the number one tourist attraction in Bangkok. The Wat Phra Kaew or Temple of the Emerald Buddha is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple (wat) in Thailand. The temple containing the Emerald Buddha.

The grounds of Wat Phra Kaew actually comprises of many ‘wats’ (Buddhist temples), all of which are superb examples of classical Thai Buddhist temples from the current Rattanakosin style era. Polished gold stupas rise up among ornate pillars and roofs which are studded with small mirrors and cut glass, which on close inspection has the appearance of an intricate mosaic, but from afar simply glitters and sparkles.

The chief attraction here is the Wat Phra Kaew itself, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which was erected in 1782. This is the most sacred temple in the complex and Buddhist ceremonies are often held here. Adjacent to it is the Grand Palace – one of several Royal residences.


Grand Palace and Wat Phra Entrance Admission
Admission to the Wat Phra Kaew and Grand Palace compound is 200 Baht for foreigners, and free for Thais. The temple is open from 08:30 until 15:30. In order to enter you need to be wearing a long sleeved t-shirt and shorts or skirts also are not permitted, nor are flip-flop style sandals. However, any of these items of clothing are available for hire at the entrance if you are not dressed correctly when you arrive.


How to access Grand Palace and Wat Phra
To get to The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, ask any taxi driver or alternatively you can get an express boat from the pier at Saphan Thaksin (by BTS station of the same name) and alight at Tha Chang, from where you can walk to the main road and then you’ll see the temple grounds in front of you. If you are staying in Khao San Road or nearby, the temple is reachable on foot – you’ll need a map though.

Thailand Bangkok Soapy Massage Parlors

A Bangkok Soapy Massage has got to be top of the list for any visitor to the city of angels. There are so many Massage Parlours in Bangkok, or should we say Sexy Soapy Massage Parlors in Bangkok. This section was written by a friend who appears to have been a busy happy chappy on his visits to Bangkok. There are two spellings of parlor - parlour to suit the tastes of our British English visitors and American English visitors. As this account has been compiled over a number of trips (and years) some of this information may well be out of date. The names of the massage parlours may have changed or they may even have gone out of business. Nevertheless like most types of businesses in Thailand they tend to congregate in areas close to each other. So if your chosen massage parlour is not there any more you shouldn't have to go far to find another.

Of course quite often the sexy Thai massage girls also move on to another massage position either to a new massage parlor in Bangkokor maybe into retirement when they meet that special customer who takes her for the ultimate long time massage experience.

There are literally thousands of Thai massage parlors in Bangkok, Thailand. Essentially, there are three types of massage: the soapy massage, the Thai massage and the herbal oil massage. We all know that many massage parlors are little more than a front for prostitution, and in many massage parlors, this extra option is readily available.

This has to be the ultimate entertainment experience in this exciting city, if you have not tried it, you owe it to yourself to try this at least once. Although we are sure that it won't be your last. In the various massage parlors there seems to be a similar procedure.

Upon entering the establishment, you will be lead to a reception area where you will see a group of girls, usually in another room with a one way mirror. While you are admiring the females, you can always get a drink while you take your time to make your choice. Once you have made your selection, just give the manager the name and number(s). The girl will be brought out to greet you, and you could have a drink and chat with her, or simply head to the private room. Be fully aware gentlemen that you will be expected to settle the bill in advance of departing to the room.

Massage Parlors in Bangkok
Girls sitting behind the glass window for you to choose

Upon reaching the room with your selected escort, you may be offered the opportunity to order another drink, both for yourself and your companion. Chatting is optional, you may wish to progress and head for the type of massage you have selected. Depending on the option that you have chosen, you will first be placed in a soapy bubble bath, pleasurably cleaned up by your companion(s), and if you have chosen the body massage you will get the rubber mattress treatment. If you have not yet had this pleasure, it is widely recommended. Another suggestion, if your budget allows, is the “sandwich” where you get two young ladies to attend to all your needs.

Once you have been dried, and are squeaky clean from the soapy bath and massage, you will be shown to the bed, which is usually round or oval. This is round two of your pleasures, so prepare yourself. You can tell if the young lady is enjoying her time with you about now, since if she did not, she would be reluctant to spend even more time with you. The body massage usually takes about 90 minutes, but can last as long as two and a half hours if your masseuses are happy with the way you are treating them.

If all you are really looking for is a good body massage, then opt for traditional Thai massage, which originated some two and a half thousand years ago. The techniques were passed on originally by word of mouth, then written upon palm leaves. These may be viewed at the Wat Pho temple in Bangkok.
