Surat Thani Province Gay Guide

However, similar to most Asian countries, gay culture can be frowned upon, forcing many members of the LGBTQ+ community to act with extreme discretion. Gays in Surat Thani will likely hide the fact that they are gay, in fear of being ostracized and isolated from their family and friends. They instead gather in underground areas such as bars, pubs, and universities to feel safe and comfortable. Another place to find gay locals is online, because they can hide their identity and comfortably celebrate pride in anonymity. There are also online apps that let you find gays in the area, to get around the discretion, such as Grindr and Blued.

An exception to the discretion comes to events in Vietnam outside of the province, but are big and frequently travelled to by residents of Surat Thani. This includes annual pride parades in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where individuals from all over the country and world gather to celebrate and represent the LGBTQ+ community and pride. 

Come visit between December to February for the best temperature and weather during your perfect gaycation. If you are interested in visiting Surat Thani Province, you should check out our Hotel Collections to get inspired!
