Was in Chiang Mai for one month in June. Stayed at Lotus Hotel and aside from the problem of the staff sleeping behind the front desk at night it was a good stay. I had the apartment suite. I was usually the only person in the hotel. Adams Apple was the best bar for me as they have a lot of pretty twinks. The boys are almost 100% gay for pay and tops. They are also not very sexually adventours so if you want to be fucked by a handsome young man you will be happy I think (I am not a bottom so I can not say for sure). If you are a top you are going to have a tough time. Other bars feature mostly macho muscle boys that are older and not so pretty. As far as getting around Chiang Mai use Grab Taxi. It is cheaper than a tuktuk and they are everywhere. You get a price before requesting a driver to come. If you sign up with your cc you pay via the app and no money changes hands with the driver. Also you are riding in an aircon car with a polite driver.
