It’s hard to beat the rich variety of sights, sounds, and experiences of Thailand, not to mention the South Asian country’s notoriously open ideas about gender and identity. Where you’ll want to head within this dynamic destination depends on your traveling style and that of your partner, and what you envision for your gay honeymoon.
On any gay honeymoon, it’s fairly easy to pair the electric urban culture of Bangkok (sometimes called the gay capital of Asia) with the quieter seaside resort charms of Hua Hin, just a few hours away.
On a single day, you and your new spouse could awake in Bangkok to sample Thai street food, visit a humbling temple, and wander about the massive Grand Palace, all before heading south to stretch out on a relatively tourist-free beach. Later, you can rest your head at the gay-friendly Baba Beach Club Hua Hin, a luxury property with sleek personal pools, two on-site restaurants, and spa services available wherever you’d like to be pampered.
Dreaming of the quintessential Thai beach experience for your long-awaited LGBT-friendly honeymoon? Head even further south to Phuket or to the island of Koh Samui. Both destinations are known for lush, hilly landscapes and that irresistible blue-green water that has come to represent the Thai seaside landscape.
Phuket is especially a gem for its number of gay-friendly beaches and hotels. Our favorites are Sri Panwa, Baba Beach Club Phuket, The Naka Island – A Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, and Banyan Tree Phuket, all luxe spots with amenities like gorgeous views, sleek swimming pools, on-site dining, and modern décor. And all are GayTravel Approved!
