alternative to thailand

[a447]

I am looking for somewhere else to go where I can have lots of "fun", apart from Thailand, but nearby. Which country has the best gay scene apart from Thailand? Do they have gay bars/host clubs in Laos or Cambodia? I'd be interested in anyone's personal experiences of these places.

Singapore actually has a pretty cool gay scene. Two main gay clubs. But they only really get going on Fri/Sat nights.

Kuala Lumpur has a lot of gay clubs and all of them get pretty packed Fri/Sat nights. I think some of them are busy on weeknights as well.

Closest thing is the Philippines...but it is a real shithole.

Yeah I'm trying to find Plan B myself.. even though I shouldn't be in BKK till the very end of July...

Singapore was a thought, then again 10 days in Singapore living the life would cost me like a month in Thailand...and what am I gonna do when I get bored of Singapore? Go to Sentosa maybe? Doubt the gay life there is very intense.. or maybe do Singapore plus Bali not that it has a huge gay scene either...

Then I thought Malaysia, I was there for Christmas and KL has to be the ugliest place I've ever seen in my life.. that plus the risk of Police showing up while the masseur has his cock down your throat doesn't really seem enticing..

So I was considering Philippines myself.. there's gay scene, there's massages, there's gorgeous beaches... so I may use that as plan B.

Yes, but then again it is full of Filipinos...possibly the most over-dramatic, emotional, and otherwise useless race in all of Asia.

Don't have first hand experience other than having had Filipino maids for about 20 years..

I do think defining a people "useless race" is a bit on the verge of Nazism anyway.

Oh dude... I think end of July is far enough down the track that things will have calmed down. You only have to worry about things flaring up again... but then that could happen anytime.

Singapore is not the place to spend 10 days... unless you're on business or have other things to do there. Anything up to a week max.

How about Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong...

LOL... I've noticed some Filipino them are a bit socially awkward in this manner that only Filipinos have. Strange.

Oh yeah I did mention in another post that 2 months is plenty time but I'm not 100% sure of the structural damages there have been in BKK...
and the plan B is more for "what if it happens again"..

I wouldn't mind exploring Cambodia or Vietnam as I've never been before I will have to find info on the extra curricular activities

Spend some time in the Philippines and get back to us, won't you?

The weather in North Vietnam / Ha Lang Bay should be nice into the summer.

The beach, Cat Ba Island (Ha Long Bay)

Vietnam and Cambodia are my choices. HCMC in particular is very fun and great beaches.
I always enjoyCambodia. I wish that Shionekville (spelling?) would develop so Cambodia would
have a great beach resort. Otherwise, Siem Reap is fun for 3-4 days.

[Oops I Did It Again]

Where is the so-called "great beach" you are referring to in HCMC?

Please refrain from making this kind of condescending remark in the future. Thank you.

Yeah, I agree... Cambodia is developing quickly. Give it time.

One day, Phnom Penh will have its own GOD and DJ Station! 7 nights a week!
