When we talk about how badly things are going, one supposes that locals are desperate to find new gay tourist business.

I have sent to a number of venues the free offers from gay advertising, and yet again not one single venue can get off their arse to advertise.

here is one gay mag from the states that advertises all the best deals and for the 5 months I have been checking, not a single listing for Pattaya.

How the hell do venues expect to get traffic when they do not take up free advertising chances.

Innkeepers, want some free advertising? You can email us an article about your area (1,000 words or more about the area is ideal) with a couple paragraphs at the end about your property, and if it meets our guidelines, we'll publish it in one of our upcoming newsletters and let folks know about your area and your property. Or you can become a blog author on the Purple Roofs gay travel blog - email us for details at wheretostay@purpleroofs.com.

As Nicky's has websites all over the world, maybe he can take up the offers for the other gay venues he advertises.

Maybe other gay sites can be forwarded for those who might be interested?
