Is gay life in Thailand all that I've heard it is?
The prevailing Buddhist philosophy in Thailand does not partition off human sexuality in the way that North American and European culture often does. Most Thais do not make a strong distinction between gay and straight. Sex is considered an enjoyable part of life and a human need, and what two adults do in private is not seen as anyone else's business. Our Gay Thailand website includes more about gay life in that country. I understand there are no nude beaches in Thailand. How can that be, in a country that's supposedly so open about sex?
As one observer noted, "In America, you can say anything in public, but you can't do it. In Thailand, you can do anything in private, but you can't talk about it." I'm traveling alone. Will everyone else be in couples?
You don't need to pay the single supplement if you're traveling alone. We'll be happy to match you with a roommate. Pay the single supplement only if you want a bedroom to yourself. Where did the name Honah Lee come from?
What are the accommodations like?
How much extra spending money should I budget for this trip?
But ... you're likely to spend more. You're going to find some great bargains in Thailand, and chances are you'll want to take advantage of them. You can buy handcarved figurines for $5, a colorful shirt or robe for $10, or get two custom-tailored suits for $200-300 (yes, they're good quality). Just about everyone who goes to Thailand ends up buying an extra piece of luggage ($5 to $20) to carry home the results of a shopping spree. What is the cost of airfare to Thailand?
I'm a certified diver. Can I get some diving in?
Why does the trip end in Phuket instead of Bangkok?
Can I talk to someone who's been on this trip?
Our website includes a full page of comments from past travelers. Most of them have volunteered to talk about their experiences with future potential travelers. Please call for the names and phone numbers of references in your area. Is it true you'll see more same-sex couples walking arm-in-arm in Thailand, than heterosexuals?
