GAY PHI PHI ISLANDS

I have been to que a few untri, and no other have I seen homosexuals live their sexual orientatn so openly. The reason is that, although daily life Thailand lbians, gays and transgenr people live wh total normaly, Thai law is not as liberal as most of the society. In Thailand, homosexual marriage do not exist for now -although the bate over s legalizatn has been on the table for some time-.

The tolerance of Thai society means that gays, lbians and trans -men and women alike- have a relatively ee life to live and exprs themselv as they are. And surely that is why Bangkok attracts lns of gay tourists, immigrants and expats search of fun, a eer life or a relatnship that their untri of orig would be rejected, clanste or simply impossible.
