Gaybutton Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I'll be spending a day and night in this city. Any suggestions on things I need to see or do? Any gay areas or bars? I think when Geezer spots this post he'll be able to fill you in better than I. First, 1 day is not nearly enough. If you can plan on two or three days, that's how much time you'll want to be there. You might want to stay at the Resotel. Again, Geezer can tell you much more than I. Of course, there is the actual Bridge on the River Kwai there. If you like Thai food, as you face the bridge you'll see stairs that lead down to the river. There is a restaurant on the left side and another one on the right side. Go to the one on the right side. Not too far out of town there is a natural hot spring. To me, it's a "don't miss." Also, try to get to the Sai Yok Noi waterfall. Not only do you not have to hike to get to it (it's nearly adjacent to the main highway), but it's a spectacular waterfall, one of the finest in Thailand. And with all the recent rains it ought to be fantastic now. There are also barge trips and boat trips up the river. Do at least one of those. I know of no specific Gay activity there, but I do know if you hunt around, there are available boys. At any of these places you posted about, there really isn't very much in the way of gay activity. The best chance of finding someone, I think, is to talk privately with a friendly hotel staff member, like a bellhop or someone similar. Let him know what you're looking for and slip him 500 baht or so. He'll very likely be able to help you make an 'arrangement.' Taxi drivers can be pretty good at coming up with willing young gents too. Quote
