Gay Asia

I came across this. Has anyone stayed here? Sounds intriguing.

Hi All, I'm currently taking some time off from work and find myself bouncing around Australia at the moment. Melbourne was quite fun with all the international college students. I just arrived to Sydney. I'm hoping to get some recommendations for make the most of my experience here.

I am visiting Pakistan for the first time - super excited. I will be going to Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi. Online, I am only reading fabulous stuff in terms of meeting the locals. Has anyone been?

Just finished a 3-day stay in Pune, based at the Conrad Hotel, where I was upgraded to a spacious suite — easily one of the best hotels in town. Great service, Excellent Executive Lounge and pool, a comfortable base to unwind. There’s definite potential on the apps here, though, as usual in India, you have to navigate a sea of fake photos and profiles before you find genuine guys. Still, patience paid off — I met a couple of nice locals, and Piyush, who’s been traveling with me for the last nine nights, kept things lively. We enjoyed the hotel, the city views, and a few relaxed nights in. I also visited the Hard Rock Café Pune, which was my 97th Hard Rock world…

I came across two SEA trip reports unrelated to the gay travel / hook up scene the comments in which I found interesting to read and consider: 5 Months Solo in Southeast Asia -- A Trip Report (Pt 1) by u/TheLeopardMedium in solotravel 5 Months Solo in Southeast Asia -- A Trip Report (Pt 2) by u/TheLeopardMedium in solotravel

Hey someone tried Gomez House or dickman resort in negombo ? i’m planning travel in Sri Lanka.

India has been on my bucket list for a long time, but never had the chance, or good flights to do so. While looking for award business flights to BKK/Indonesia/Manila and seeing limited to zero availability for anything decent, I thought, let me check India 🤔 I found Bos-Ist-Dxb-Ccu... Turkish connection to Emirates and Emirates, for 88K United miles- JACKPOT!! Everything else I found from USA (almost any city) to Bkk was 200k+ miles....up to 500k, ridiculous. So that was the start of the planning stage that has lead to me booking a 8 week away from home (6 weeks in Asia) trip. Turkish is one of my favorite airlines and was my 1st time on Emirates..…

🌇 Mumbai (Bombay), India – Trip Report Two nights in Mumbai, staying at the Hilton near the airport. No big upgrade this time — just the Executive Floor, which Diamond status already includes — but credit where it’s due: they drove Piyush to the airport for free and gave me a 7 PM checkout without charge. Small gestures go a long way. As for the city… Mumbai is massive, messy, and not exactly pretty. On our first night we went to Juhu Beach, which is the best time for me at a beach — Even at night it was packed as it was a Sunday during the holiday time of Dawali, with rubbish scattered all the way to the water line. But hey, I did get my first look at the Arabi…

Arrived in Surabaya in the afternoon, about 30 minutes late, which seems to be standard for Batik Air. I flew business class, which is not exactly glamorous, but for these short domestic flights in Indonesia I still think it is worth it. Lounge access, extra luggage allowance, dedicated check-in, bigger seats, first on, first off, and your bag actually comes out early. They also somehow manage a meal service on a flight that is not even an hour long. It also left from the city airport, which was much closer to the hotel, and security was easy. The one weird part: they made me take my aerosol hairspray out of my checked luggage and carry it on. On domestic flights it …

Jakarta was my first stop, 5 nights, arriving from Tokyo on ANA business class after a 9 hour layover there. I had used the layover to go try one of the Japanese escort agencies I wrote about in a different post, so by the time I boarded I was very relaxed and spent so slept like a baby through most of the 7 hour flight. Probably for the best, because the flight itself was pretty mediocre. Older 787, meh service, bland catering. ANA seems to be taking notes from the U.S. airlines lately and not in a good way. I stayed in Jakarta partly because there was a guy from the apps I wanted to see again. Really good top, big dick, definitely worth building a few days around. …

Hi everyone! Two weeks ago I got back home from a very nice trip to Dubai (before the war started) and Thailand and I want to share my experiences with you. I will write a separate trip report for my time in Thailand. This one only covers the 5 days I spent in Dubai. It was my first time in Dubai and it had never been too interesting to me to actually visit, but for this trip I just wanted to explore a new destination for a few days and Dubai seemed to be the right choice. I arrived on a Sunday morning and took the metro to my hotel. I specifically picked a hotel close to a metro station as that usually gives you quite some budget friendly and quic…

So this Jakarta stop was part of a bigger play… I booked a roundtrip business class ticket originating in Asia because, as many of you know, fares can be way cheaper starting out here. That part worked and this was the return part of that trip, also earned enough frequent mile points almost for a free 1-way business class ticket. What I didn’t factor in? Eid- Marking the end of Ramadan , I thought I missed a bullet by avoiding Ramadan and also "Quiet Night" in Bali, but totally unaware of this one 😬 Specifically mudik, when half of Jakarta disappears back to their hometowns. In 2026 it hit March 21–22, with the exodus starting around the 18th… and yeah, I l…

This might be a good time for those considering visiting Japan. Not only is the ¥ at very low levels (today US$1 - ¥154), the Chinese tourists who have been arriving in Japan in droves recently have just been advised by their government not to visit. The reason is a result of recent remarks in parliament by Japan's new right-wing and China-hawk Prime Minister that a military response from Tokyo might be necessary if China were to invade Taiwan. Previous Prime Ministers have always maintained a policy of "strategic" ambiguity over the Taiwan issue. Chinese tourists to Japan have risen to become second in number only to Americans. If Chinese numbers quickly fall…

Let's see if I find anything good to post about.... I'm staying at a new Hilton on the outskirts of the city, cows and horses grazing next door. Lot's of construction so one day will be busy. I'm moving more into the center of town Sunday. I brought the 19 yr old I met in Kolkata last time, so I'm not alone and he likes to be a whore too..... fingers crossed, the apps are a challenge here because almost no one puts their real pic and too many hairy/fat guys, but lots of tops... just gotta filter thru a lot of shit to get to the good ones. Most are not looking for money and the few that are, looking for about 20usd max.

Asia is full of amazing LGBTQ+-friendly destinations — from the vibrant nightlife of Bangkok and Taipei to the peaceful beaches of Bali and Koh Samui. Each city offers a unique mix of culture, community, and openness. What are your favorite LGBTQ+ travel spots in Asia, and what makes them special to you?

This adds to a thread about Time Out's Coolest Places in Latin America. And they will probably surprise many as most will know nothing about most - including me!. Jimbōchō, Tokyo Mullae-dong, Seoul Nakatsu, Osaka Nguyen Thai Binh, Ho Chi Minh Former French Concession, Shanghai Bencoolen, Singapore Kemang, Jakarta Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur Mehrauli, Delhi Poblacion, Metro Manila The "Coolest Lists" seem aimed primarily at residents and concentrate on quality of life, including bars and restaurants, book stores, trendy art galleries etc. How they are selected beats me. The o…

Any fresh news from Lebanon ? I mean G4P

While I have very limited exposure to Tajik men, the ones I saw in Europe were quite handsome. So I always wanted to visit but given it is an ex-communist muslim country, I always wondered if I would be able to find some good encounter there. I visited Almaty a few years ago but it was nearly dead in terms of grindr but also I didn't find many sexy guys on street either. Any info from our well travelled members?

Hi Guys, I went through the archive, and learned 3 things: Most saunas don't like westerners. There's this brothel http://www.kocnet.jp/english/index.html and this one https://kids-jp.com/en/tk/s/ Can anyone contribute any kind of updated tips? Anything on Kyoto? Thx (-:

A week is enough ?😳

There's a usually a long gap between production and upload to Youtube, and this one is no different. The 59-minute documentary "Fairytale Of Kathmandu | A portrait of a fallen idol and the murky world of sex tourism" was made around 2007, but only uploaded this month. It opens with a charming and cheery tone: the celebrated Irish poet Cathal Ó Searcaigh makes regular trips to Nepal. He loves the exotic and simple life there, and over the years he has acquired many young men as friends who dote on him. But as the film maker follows him around, she captures scenes that raise many questions. And like the ominously dark monsoon clouds that come rolling in over the valle…

From The BBC Sri Lanka's capital is transforming floating garbage patches into biodiverse wetlands which are teeming with life. Pay Drechsel is going for his daily morning walk around Thalangama Wetland, in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo. The Sun casts a warm glow over flowering pink water lilies as a farmer scrubs down his water buffalo. A kingfisher hovers nearby. Soon, photographers will arrive to capture curved-necked egrets, waders probing for crawling worms, and little cormorants diving for freshwater fish. Thalangama Wetland and its surrounding swamps, reedbeds, canals and rice fields teem with life. But this hasn't always been the ca…

How's that for a click bait title? But is true... I had a feeling my passport was getting a little too full. But with many eVisas, no stamps are required. They didn't want to let me in, hindsight is 20/20...I should've gone back to BKK instead maybe. They were SUPER nice and explained after they put their visa and stamps, there is really no more place to stamp (Mexico has stamped and would stamp on the "endorsements" page). They were afraid that if they filled up the passport, upon my return to BKK, they might not accept a full passport and return me to Laos and then they'd have to deport me to the US from here..... I should've asked who pays for the flight…

From The Nation Indonesia’s economy is under significant pressure as the rupiah hits a 27-year low, and the Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index plunges 7.1%—its steepest drop in 14 years. These signals may point to deeper structural issues in the country’s economic and political landscape. Bhima Yudhistira Adhinegara, Director of the Jakarta-based Center of Economic and Law Studies, warns that the rupiah’s depreciation reflects market distrust toward President Prabowo Subianto’s leadership and economic policies, including the establishment of the Danantara sovereign wealth fund. Indonesia was once a top investment d…

Bhutan is perhaps best known for a comment made by its former King suggesting "gross national happiness" was a better guide for a nation than "Gross National Product." When I visited in 2007, the country had its fair share of poor people, but then it had only recently opened up to the rest of the world. Television had only been introduced in 2000 and the number of tourists that year was only around 7,000. By 2019 the number had increased to 316,000 and hotels had mushroomed. Whereas I stayed in a mix of simple hotels and guest houses, soon after you could spend five nights in different 5-star hotels. That said, I loved my two weeks in the country, the more so as every Bhu…
