First official promo of Thailand for LGBT-tourists by TAT "GoThaiBeFree"

[svyturys]

There is clearly a large market for gays and particularly couples visiting Thailand that is not really catered to by the prostitution orientated "gay scene" here. Over the years I've seen this as a growing trend in Chiang Mai. Lots of gay people come here to enjoy the ambience and aren't interested in the commercial sex side. They often visit the first bar, have one quick drink then you don't see them again. Nuff said. The exception in CM is RAM Bar with its cabaret show and generally younger customers, which seems to do good business with this type of customer.

Definitely there is a sizeable market for gay couples visiting Thailand or single gay males (I wont bother talking about lesbians on this forum) that are not looking for prostitutes. I know a number of gay couples that go there and they only interested in each other. The issue is that in many countries it is still uncomfortable, risky or even outright dangerous to travel as a gay couple. Thailand can benefit from it. Promotional clips like this one only reassures potential visitors that they are safe and welcome. You also have to remember that most westerners never go outside of they traditional holiday spots (California - Florida for US and the Med for Europeans) because they don't know what to expect elsewhere. So the countries like Thailand still have to do a lot of marketing work to convince them.
This forum is mainly frequented by older types that are looking for sex for pay experiences (which are perfectly fine) so I'm not surprised they are looking at this clip from their perspective. After all, the days of Thailand making most of its tourists cash from sex are over - most of it is now made from couples and families, including gay ones.

The slogan surely means free to be oneself and I for one am very impressed with the welcoming attitude of TAT, Already BKK and other places around Thailand sees a massive amount of gays coming to the LOS and long may it continue and increase.

Lets face it, would you rather come to Thailand or travel to Nigeria or a Muslim states?!

I have heard that if you are Muslim, Northern Nigeria is not the worst place to have hanky-panky,

I didn't say GOOD LOOKING mens bodies !!! And seriously ? as some of the Lesbians I see are WAY more butch than half the guys standing (cowering) next to them in gay bars - and have the muscles and shaved heads to prove it ! No shrink required to come to THAT conclusion I assure you.

I have a pathological fear of lesbians. I'm frightened to look at them for any length of time, for fear that they will turn and chase me. I do, however, harbour a curious interest in what one does to the other and with which de'vice'!

I think I'll stick to Mykonos in favour of Lesbos (home to the largest dungarees factory in Europe). I would not, however, as a rule, support those who might suggest, "Lesbian friendly towards them!"

I'm sure there's plenty of lesbian porn around if you're truly curious. Perhaps The Wombat could search some out for you once he's finished trawling the Internet for spanking videos

Thank you, Frequent. I saw what must be as near to a lesbian porn film as is acceptable to the viewing public, aboard Thai Airways en route to BKK. It was called...The Favourite (a film about some old queen)!! Anyone seen it or, indeed, any other films of old queens making out??

I find the television series Victoria constantly disappointing. Where are the shots of the Prince Consort's "Prince Albert"?

What did you think of the “hand job on wedding night” scene?
