The Radchada Café guide to Gay Chiang Mai

Welcome to the internet's premier guide to the gay scene in the city of Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. It provides information about gay bars, venues, clubs, pubs, and entertainment such as saunas and massage along with accommodation and restuarants. Our news section will keep you up to date with all the latest happenings on the new scene including events, new bars, articles and reviews.

Our sponsor, Radchada Café, has opened a new gay friendly venue in Chiangmai from November 2011. Radchada Garden Café is a boutique Café located in the grounds of a beautiful Lanna style teak wood mansion with tranquil surroundings. It boasts a relaxing garden where you can enjoy tea, coffee, drinks, snacks and light meals with great service and friendly staff. Visit their website at www.radchada-cafe.com for full details of this venue.

Our Chiang Mai Gay News Pages give you all the gossip and news about everything gay, homosexual, queer, sexy, erotic or just plain fun in Gay Chiang Mai. If you have any news, or are opening new venues or holding special events please let us know and we’ll give it a mention (provided it’s legal). See the latest news headlines at the bottom of this page or visit www.GayinChiangmai.com

Our Gay Guide covers all the main Gay themes in Chiang Mai, Gay Bars, Discos, Karaoke, Massage, Saunas, accommodation and other Gay Businesses. As well as the descriptions in the guide we provide an interactive Chiang Mai Gay Map (courtesy of Google Maps) showing the locations of all the gay venues and more besides.

Please follow the site navigation tabs to find out more or use the quick links below. If you came here looking for porn, gay sex information, or other sexually explicit material we're sorry to dispoint you but please look elsewhere. Our galleries do include pictures of some very cute, hot and sexy Chiang Mai gay boys and some handsome muscular Tai Yai (Shan) guys, but without nudity.

Many of the guys in Chiang Mai's gay bars are Tai Yai or Shan from the Shan State in SE Burma (Myanmar). The Shan people are being persecuted by the Burmese junta and many have fled to Chiang Mai, you will find many articles on this website about the plight of the Shan.

Thank you for visiting, we hope the information is useful. Feedback is always welcome; if you’d like to leave a comment please add an entry to our guest book.
