View Full Version : Roundtrips in Chiang Mai
boy

Will visit for the first time by mid January Chiang Mai for 12 days and would be pleased to get some information about short roundtrips (1 or 2 or 3 days) in this area organised by a local touroperator.
I would prefer to book a roundtrip organised by a gay-travelagent / gay-touroperator in order to be with other tourists of the gaycommunity as I am fearing that other tourists in the group would "fingerpoint" to the gaypeople ...
For any comments I would be grateful !
Many thanks, boy

If you don't get any more specific advice, then you could email a couple of the Bangkok-based guides and ask for a referral. Oat is from Chiang Mai and knows a lot of people there. He could definitely refer you to someone.

He's a good guy, I used him for a couple days last month. I think that picture is 20 years old, tho. ;)

Although CM has mainly been my stomping grounds, I've never intentionally used or known of a "gay" tour service. I'd recommend you get ahold of PJ's Place and ask them, I'm sure they'll know.
For local transportation via tuk tuk, I quite often use a good Thai friend who happens to be gay (but I use him because he's a good driver, always on time, and a friend). He knows all the gay places in CM so probably could advise you on that if that's what you're looking for. If you want his number, send me a PM.

Check out this tour operator, he caters to gays. Never used him although, he has been around awhile. I think others have recommended him previously. HERE (http://www.benstaxiserviceandtours.com/) Ben' tours.

" ... I am fearing that other tourists in the group would "fingerpoint" to the gaypeople ... "
A good way to start out.
Just a anecdotal observation, but from my experience the tourists most to be feared on Hua Hin beach are Swiss-Germans. In fact, one of them just 'finger-pointed' at me the other day.

My whole time in Thailand I only recall one time that I received some looks. That was going down Walking Street while holding hands with a 20-something Thai. The looks were from a couple Caucasian guys, I guess we were invading their hetero zone. It seems that you'd have to go well out of your way to find someone that cares whether or not you're gay. lol.
