Introduction
to Gay Koh Samui |
|
| |
|
|
Koh Samui, 280 Km2, is the largest island of
the Gulf of Siam. It is part of an archipelago of 80 smaller
islands of which 6 only are inhabited. It is almost
literally an island of coconuts and forested hills, on chalk
mountains, culminating at 636 meters. Its beautiful beaches,
its jungle, its hills and waterfall create a very changing
landscape, rarely found in other islands.
Samui is growing in popularity as a holiday destination for
gays and lesbians who come from all over the world to dive,
golf, shop, dine, party, splash in waterfalls, trek, ride
elephants, drive from beach to beach or melt their cares
away in exotic spas.
The story of Samui started to change in the
beginning of the 80's, when it was discovered by
backpacker-travelers. These brought the creation of small
simple bungalow resorts with palm leaves roofs, but the
secret could not be kept for long and now the island
is
fast becoming a resort of international stature. Yet, in
spite of the development of tourism,
its inhabitants are well determined to preserve
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
its natural charm and exceptional attraction.
You will not find many buildings higher than a coconut palm.
The beach is always close to your door.
Samui's best beaches line the northern and eastern coasts,
the most popular being Chaweng and Lamai where, generally,
the most attractive and expensive accommodation is found.
Besides beaches, other island attractions
include the Hin Lat and Na Muang waterfalls, the phallic
rock formations "Hin Ta and Hin Yai" at the southern end of
Lamai Bay, the massive seated "Big Buddha" image of Bophut.
There are three main temples that you will want to visit;
Wat Samret, Laem Sor Chedi and Wat Khun Aram. Like most
temples in Thailand you are asked to dress respectfully
whenever you visit and avoid flip flops and bathing attire.
Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the temples here is
that they are home to mummified monks that are more than 20
years old. Monks are revered in Thailand and this is how the
islanders have chosen to honor their memory. The monks are
still clothed and are amazingly well preserved.
Samui has a tropical climate, with an average
temperature between 25°C and 34°C. The most important
raining period is in November.
Population: 40 000 inhabitants.
As you would expect form a tropical island
many visitors come to Samui to explore the natural beauty of
the area both on land, on sea and underwater. The
region of famous for its calm clear waters, millions of
coconut trees and undisturbed islands and beaches. Gay
visitors to Samui are lucky to have a company specializing
in gay tours where you can relax in the company of
like-minded people or have private tours with your loved
one. Whether you want to snorkel over pristine reefs, cycle
through shaded coconut plantations, or be driven around the
famous sights of Samui, Rainbow-Scuba & Tour has
something special to offer you.

Samui is a rapidly growing gay and lesbian
holiday and residential destination. Gay life on Samui is
more relaxing and quiter than those on Pattaya and Phuket.
Gay bars, cabaret clubs and disco are more laid back, open,
friendly and accessible. However there are plenty of gay
people living on Samui, both expats and Thai nationals. On
Samui at lot of gay Thai men have regular jobs in the
hospitality industries, medicine, engineering, construction,
mange or own their own businesses. Samui has more gay Thai
men living here than in any other part of Thailand. People
here are more relaxed and friendly and the scene is growing
all the time. This is why so many Western and Asian gay men
and women holiday and live here. It is easy to meet gay Thai
men in gay venues in gay bars, massage parlors. |
|
The center of the gay nightlife is Chaweng
Beach Road, which runs parallel to the beach - about 2.5 km
long from the North to the South, usually refer to North,
South or Central Chaweng. You can find gay businesses from
Chaweng North opposite Nora Hotel to Chaweng South opposite
Poppins Ressort. Close to Starbucks is also an area you will
find straight late night bars and dance venues some of which
are the favorite by gay Thai men and gay international
visitors. A larger concentration of gay businesses are in
close proximity to each other in South Chaweng opposite the
Centara Grand Beach Resort. Three of Samui's best gay venues
are now located on the same Soi (Thai name for small
street). This is a small walking only street 100 m
north of the entrance to Centara Grand Beach Resort.
