Press Release:

The premiere issue of the upgraded and improved national Gay Magazine (Thai Guys-Sticky Rice, now SPICE!) is now 100% in color. It is packed with new columns and colorful maps and will be available at your favorite Gay venue from May 12th.

Why did we change our name? Why call it Spice? Well, some did not like the old name, some thought the name meant Asians who like Asians, but in truth, it was not representative of what we are. We hope to Spice up your life by giving you added news & features to enjoy your time in Paradise! We also wanted a name that was short, easy to remember, easy to pronounce by Foreigners & Thai also. The name change shows our intention and determination to give the best news and lifestyle information to Gay Tourists and Ex-pats who live here. We want to provide good maps and information on the main Gay areas and also interesting articles from top international writers about topics pertinent to our lifestyle. We will continue to cover events in our communities and support the Gay organizations and charities, whether they are advertisers or not, as this is a publication for and about our community here in Thailand. You will see many new features in this issue such as: Ask Darika-advice on Love & Life, your personalized Horoscope, Foods & recipes from different parts of the country (this issue features Central Thailand), Travel in Style, a glimpse into the lives of Interesting people from our community, D├йcor & Lifestyle along with all the features we have already introduced since taking over the management this past January.

We have a new website at www.spicemag.net which is still a work in progress and will contain most of the content of our magazine (including articles, maps, destination guides and classifieds), the old site at www.stickyrice.ws will continue to operate by another management.

Check this issue for details about the winner Cliff of Washington DC, who gave us our new name, SPICE! If you have any comments or suggestions, we would appreciate to hear from you. Send them to us at: editor@spicemag.net.
