🌈 Chiang Mai: The Northern Star for Gay Travelers and Retirees

Chiang Mai, often called the “Rose of the North,” stands out among Thailand’s major destinations. While its southern counterparts, like Bangkok and Pattaya, offer a more frenetic pace, this cultural capital provides a relaxed, welcoming, and affordable haven that is particularly appealing for LGBTQ+ visitors and those considering retirement. It strikes a perfect balance: a serene, spiritual atmosphere with a vibrant, yet low-key, gay scene.

Pattaya is one of the most famous destinations for gay tourists from around the world, and the largest in Thailand. Recently, Pattaya has been reinventing itself. Authorities have cleaned the beaches, turned some streets into pedestrian walkways, and there are still must-visit attractions such as Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, Koh Larn, and it’s also close to Koh Samet. This creates a fun and relaxing atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy every moment when you arrive in Pattaya. For gay tourists, the city offers affordable gay-friendly hotels as well as gay bars, go-go shows, cabaret performances, karaoke, spectacular shows, spas, and popular gay beaches that are still in demand, making gay Pattaya hard to resist. Less than a two-hour drive from Bangkok, Pattaya is proving that it’s not only worth going off the beaten path, but also a great destination in Thailand in its own right.
