Gay hua hin bar

Richard Ammon. Hua Hin Thailand is a modest-sized city on the country's southern peninsula that has become a popular vacation destination due to its balmy climate and long beaches. There is not a LGBT community there, rather only a couple of venues; one is a bar and the other a hostel.

Surprisingly this city of about 50 thousand people has virtually no gay scene—virtually meaning almost no gay scene. No doubt there are katoeys lady-boys who work in beauty shops, massage parlors, banks and other professions that require or appreciate good grooming. As usual call-boys can be ferreted out for night pleasure by walking the streets or going online.

But I was not looking for these but did see one here and there offering seductive looks to any passer-by. Rather what I found near the Hilton Hotel was a labyrinth of small alleys lined with hundreds upon hundreds of bars, restaurants, gift shops, massage parlors populated with many foreigners, married and single, out for a meal, a bustling carnival-like ambiance and perhaps more.

At dinner I was surrounded by Europeans, Americans, Aussies mostly straight middle age couples.

Hua Hin Gay Guide

This was clearly a hetero neighborhood. In the background, next door, I heard German polka music hin beer songs. Bar asked about gay different local people at random if they knew where Red Indian Boy gay bar was. Nobody there. Some disorganized furniture. No set up. Definitely not a bar, not even a sign that said Hua Indian. At this point I gave up.

It was about PM. If there was any business in this cubicle of space it was not apparent. Perhaps my guide was mistaken. There were no signs of life in this small corner surrounded by other bustling restaurants and bars. Here was nothing. On the Internet there were no images that made sense other than a fluorescent blue and white sign that said Red Indian.

I suspect I was led to the wrong location. By this time I was hungry and my husband had gone into a steakhouse to order Pad Thai. I joined him among chattering European couples speaking several different languages. I had looked it up on a Google map so at least there was a named street and number.

Of course the map image and the real location were different but walking around the area and asking for the street, we stumbled on the New Guy Bar, a real place with a sign and live people.
