Hi Guys,

Where is the best balance between - or combination of - sightseeing and sexhaving in the south?

Kosomoi?   Phuket?   Kophiphi?   anywhere else?

Would appreciate as many updated views, reasons, descriptions and details as possible.

Thanks

I love all the islands but usually find a date to take with me to them.  Phuket has a nice scene and the bars are fun but the apps are plentiful. The thing I hate about Phuket is the price gouging from everyone. It is overly expensive to get or do things.  However, I have always really enjoyed the city and the scene there. 

agree with OZ. BTW: KOH is the usual Thai prefix for island. Its Koh Samui, the largest and on the east side. Gay scene minimal and very seasonal and changing all the time. Seems mostly Thai from other parts working there in normal hotel-jobs doing some ''overtime''. Phuket as such overrun with mainland Chinese and Korean holidaymooners. The rather large and also rather uninspring town in the far south Haad Yai (=big beach, but there is no beach) also has a fairly big gay-for-pay scene, mostly aiming visiting Malays. Travel between these places can be very time-consuming or hair-raising swift in cramped minivans.

BTW-as Phuket is west and Samui east of the peninsula, the monsoonpattern tends to be just opposite-rain vs dry.

Best overall site for uptodate current listings is travelgayasia.com then search.

People in Thailand, especially south Thailand love love love white skin.
