Lesbian Adventures
Lesbian Adventures Thailand is hosting its inaugural trip at Phuket's Gay Festival as part of its mission to bring the lesbian into "Gay Thailand." Join the staff of Lesbian Adventures on Friday, February 3, for
a day of boating, snorkeling, eating and volleyball on two of Phuket's most remote island paradises hidden deep in the crystal blue waters of the Andaman Sea. Meet other women, foreign and local, and find out what
is not-to-be-missed on any woman's Thailand tour. Learn the Thai word for "lesbian" (there's a lot of debate) and make new friends while you're at it.
Be sure to stick around because two days later Phuket's Gay Festival will need your presence in its annual parade on Sunday. Phuket is a lesbian-friendly town that officially opened its arms last November to
a famous Singapore gay event called the Nation party, which found itself homeless after being booted out by the Singapore government. Women came for its lesbian party (sponsored by www.lesla.com (http://www.lesla.com)) and the rest of the year couples can be seen strolling along the beach and narrow sois of Patong, comfortably holding hands and enjoying the warmth, beauty and openess of Thailand's most well known island.
For more information about Lesbian Adventures Thailand's snorkeling island tour or to book a spot, contact Wendy at vaew.mp@gmail.com or call 06 215-1629; or contact Nancy at nschwartz_9@yahoo.com or
call 09 501-5306. We will meet at Patong's Connect Guesthouse at 11 am and expect to return by 7 pm that evening. Price is 1,500 baht per person. All women, regardless of orientation, are welcome.
