GAY LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA | THE ESSENTIAL LGBT TRAVEL GUI!

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

MALAYSIA’S HIGHT COURT STRIK DOWN STATE GAY SEX BAN

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. 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!

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.

Certaly, if LGBT travelers are lookg for an out-and-proud gay party holiday, Malaysia as a whole is not gog to be their ial statn. While there might be some great nightlife optns, there are none that are publilly for the gay muny, and is val to be sensible and discrete, somethg which is repeated throughout this gui for a good reason.

GAY MALAYSIA

In a untry where homosexualy is to all tents and purpos illegal, n be difficult to learn more about the gay muny and to get to know like-md lols.

In gay-iendly bars hubs like KL and Penang ’s easy enough to get talkg to people, but bee members of the LGBT muny are rarely out and have to disguise themselv, uld often be difficult to know who to approach. Gay men e hook-up apps like Grdr, Scff, and Tdr but onle censorship is creasgly a problem, so a secure VPN before gog is strongly remend orr to protect privacy and rema anonymo. Certaly, if wild parti and an open and active gay scene are what people want om a holiday, Malaysia is not gog to tick those box.

KUALA LUMPUR GAY TRAVEL

Tucked away off the Eastern ast of Malaysia near Thailand, Langkawi is more liberal and relaxed than the rt of Malaysia, as gay travelers will soon notice – and is probably a large reason why Gay Langkawi is popular wh LGBT travelers.

THE MALAYSIAN GAY MAN FIGHTG FOR HIS LIFE, AND MANY OTHER LGBT ASYLUM SEEKERS

You will be weled almost everywhere you go: bars, clubs, and rtrants and will surely have no issu any of the upsle rorts; however, jt be aware you will not fd a gay scene anywhere near as bizarre as that Kuala Lumpur, as crazy as Ho Chi Mh Cy or as open and hedonistic as nearby Phet if that is your ma ncern.

GAY KUALA LUMPUR

Many Malaysians still hold nservative attus to any display of public affectn – straight or gay – although people here are surprisgly open-md, pecially more trendy, upsle areas.

As a general le, what gay people do their own time Malaysia is largely only an issue if you are a Malaysian polician or want to watch Bety & The Beast. Sadly the fluence of nservative Islam on mastream polics and culture Malaysia is currently creasg – none of which should affect your average gay traveler, however. So e to Gay Langkawi for the luxur rorts, dive sunsets, duty-ee shoppg, and mouth-waterg cktails – jt don’t expect to be met wh rabow flags or out-and-proud gay life.
