PENANG GAY TRAVEL

Dpe all of this negative prs, Malaysia n still be a fun and welg place for gay travelers.

Many reports beg surprised by the active gay scene ci like Penang and Kuala Lumpur and many areas lols are iendly. However, is important to be aware that technilly homosexualy is illegal and therefore to be nsc of behavr public plac.

As a smopolan and multicultural cy, Kuala Lumpur has veloped a thrivg gay scene – jt exists behd closed doors for the most part.

You won’t fd any crazy parti like Bangkok or the openns of islands Thailand, but outright persecutn is rare, and ’s not pletely unheard of to see gay upl out and about; there jt won’t be any public displays of affectn. Penang Island is a place wh a growg gay scene, due large part to s thrivg tech and arts scen. The suatn is siar idyllic Langkawi, which is popular wh gay travelers bee of s more liberal attus and chilled nightlife – as well as s stunng beach!

Malaysia do not offer much the way of gay-iendly hotels, unsurprisgly. Bookg at ternatnal, upsle hotels is always a safe bet; is highly unlikely gay travelers will n to any problems here, and there are plenty to choose om, whether Kuala Lumpur or beachsi Penang.

KL has some gay-iendly hostels or budget hotels, as do Penang, Melaka, and Langkawi. What gay travelers won’t fd, however, is much (if anythg) the way of events, venu or activi aimed at the gay muny. Although, Penang and Langkawi do have some unofficial gay beach.
