Phuket? What to visit, where to say...

Hi... I'm starting this topic 'cause i was unable to found something related to Phuket (90% for Pattaya or Bangkok).

I'm planning to visit Thailand soon (I don't care about some guys in red in a street unless the close my favorite bar). The first place in my mind is Phuket, but, its really good? or there are other places in Thailand better than Phuket. Obviously, I'm visiting for fun few weeks, u know.

For all the readed over the internet, looks like the Thai boys are more liberals than here. Its truth?

I'm looking for some recommendations, first if Phuket is nice than other sites, or first i need to know Pattaya or Bangkok, If anyone have some experiences, if my 1.88m tall is a problem or a advantage, where to stay, etc. (Money is not a problem).

Thanks.

Where best to go depends on what your priorities are.

(i) For a very nice beach, combined with a rather modest selection of gogo bars, try Phuket.
(ii) For arguably the best selection of gogo bars, combined with a rather ordinary beach, try Pattaya.
(iii) For a bustling city, with some outstanding sites & a good selection of gogo bars, try Bangkok.

As your flight may well go via Bangkok, why not stay there for at least a few days to start with?

I stay here your love it?

I like Phuket. I found if i took off a boy from a bar then headed out of Patong beach to some of the many lovely beaches around Phuket it was a far better choice, also head over to the Island of Pi Pi this is a great place to explore and be a beach bum

I find this hard to believe....

I entered "phuket" in our search box without an author and Voil├а.......

Thanks all for the replies... I'm planning to stay 2 weeks, so I think I need to visit Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok if I want a entire outlook of the gay life in that wonderful country...

Thanks for the links ;)...

My own personal favorite is Phuket because of a much nicer beach than Pattaya. The gay scene area is smaller but to me much friendlier than Pattaya. You can check out dreaded ned's for a good listing of gay spots in all locations.

Up to you (you'll hear that expression again :colors: ) but trying to spend time in all 3 in just two weeks is spreading yourself a bit thinly. It only leaves you 3-4 days in each (which have to include the journey to Phuket and back). I would consider making it just Bangkok plus one of the other two. If you do that, and especially if it's Bangkok plus Phuket you opt for, I would go to the seaside resort first, then go back to Bangkok for a time. That's for two reasons. First, I'd rather start a holiday by chilling on the beach for a while. Second, I'd rather be in Bangkok the night before I have to catch the plane home - far less opportunity for things to go wrong.
But, like I say - "Up to you".

Whatever you do, you'll have a great time. The first visit is special.

RodrigoMx - some points for you to consider:

1. You didn't say when you're planning to be in Thailand, but if you're coming during the rainy season, then putting your hopes on beach towns may not prove to be the best use of your time. If it's raining badly, you won't find much to do during the day in Phuket or Pattaya, although the bar scene at night should still be fun. On the other hand, there's plenty to do in Bangkok daytime even if it's raining.

2. You used the word "fun" without clarifying what you mean by it. Do you mean sex? In which case, you didn't say whether you're interested in commercial sex, free sex or no sex. If you're looking for free (sauna) sex, then you will have many more choices in the big city Bangkok than in the small towns. If you don't mean sex, but you mean clubbing, then only Bangkok has it. Not Pattaya, not Phuket.

(We're big boys here. You don't have to beat around the bush. On this board we say "sex", "fuck", "moneyboy" and whatever is the honest truth.)

Thanks for the points @macaroni21. Wasn't thinking in the rainy season. I was planning to go in June, so perhaps October will be better...

I want to know, obviously, all... from beaches to nice butts :P... I don't like free sex, risky in many ways... Well... I think I need 3 weeks, few days (3 or 4 for Phuket), and the rest for clubbing. I'm not a big fan of ecotourism... its only that Phuket its so publicized (like the paradise or something), I hate the day light...

Thanks one more time...

???? If you plug in the word "Phuket" into the board search engine the result will be 1600+ posts. Plug the word "Patong" in results in 480 posts.

Im not sure youve said that right. As it makes it sound you think that paying for sex is not risky. I just love not paying for sex so to me free sex is great. And all sex is risky if you dont take good precautions. Have a good holiday anyway

I was thinking more in... meet a guy in a sauna or in the street is more risky, 'cause you can be robbed or assaulted, for example... thats way I was thinking. At least if u pay for a guy in a bar, U know where is he working and other stuff, well, thats my point of view... I have a sad experience from a trip to Brazil last year :tongue:

Uhm... so, Im rescheduling my trip for October. Thanks everyone and see you in Thailand :thumbleft:

When I was in Phuket I stayed at Club One Seven and it was a very nice place and the staff was very courteous and helpful. The only thing is it is a bit far to Paradise Complex (the main gay area) but it is walkable or short motorbike ride. They have a nice pool and a small gym, and included breakfast. As far as the rainy season, I believe that October might be more rainy than June, but not sure. I was there in November and the weather was very nice.
