Not Telling
My advice to you would be to join gayromeo.com and look at the area for sub-central Thailand.
That area has (today) 303 members with currently 10 on-line.
There are 19 members in Singburi; 10 in Ang Thong; 28 in Lop Buri and 3 in Chai Nat. Send those guys a message and ask them where you can go in the area to meet other gay guys.

I am not fond of gay tourism (generally, with specific exceptions of course) because of the behaviour of many gay tourists, if you must know.

I am complaining that those people who appear publicly in places where socialising with prostitutes is not publicly endorsed really do cause problems for those who don't, and most of those people who do are,
I have some sympathy for Ijustwannateach because the public behavior of some farang, be they tourist or resident, is not acceptable in Thai society, or indeed in any polite environment. In particular I am talking about public displays of affection – kissing, fondling, groping etc. (I must point out that a quick peck on the cheek or holding hands is NOT what I'm talking about).
I was in a pub a few weeks ago and a couple were there engaged in activities that frankly, would be more suitable for the bedroom or on the set of a porn movie. Prolonged deep kissing; hands down shirts and inside underwear, crotch groping etc. Over the years I have seen this from time to time in straight and gay establishments, in pubs, clubs and restaurants, even on the sky train; mainly between farang couples but occasionally with Thai/farang liaisons. Even in gogo bars it makes me feel uncomfortable - am I expected to watch; or do I turn to face the wall or leave the bar?
What are these people trying to prove? I have no objection to whatever activities they consensually want to engage in the privacy of a short-time room or a 5 star pad ... but in public I cringe.
As far as socializing with prostitutes in public establishments, I have no problem – indeed how am I to know what profession they are? Most Thai prostitutes I have known are usually unfailingly polite when sober – they may be badly educated and lack ambition but most are better behaved than their farang consorts.

It is even worse when people who are NOT gay tourists continue this kind of lifestyle in perpetuity as gay expats, but I have at least seen some of them escape that bubble.
Those of you in 'relationships' really should not preach to single guys as if you have a monopoly on morals and behavior. Whatever happened to freedom of choice?
In my experience it is those in relationships that are living the lie; not the confirmed single men. In over a decade of visiting innumerable bars and clubs all over Thailand I cannot think of one Thai/Farang relationship I have met that has been 100% faithful. I have met scores of Thais and Farangs who have asked me not to mention to their partners that I met them on the beach or in Babylon or DJ Station and have introduced the person that is the focus of their attention as 'just a friend'.
Single guys are not disadvantaged or socially inept. We cherish our freedom and independence and enjoy the sexual variety that these qualities of life allow. Furthermore, whether we have met our companion for the night in a gogo bar, a pub or on-line we know that our conscience is clear; that we have not cheated on our closest friend.
Prostitution is available the world over but in Thailand it is a real pleasure to partake in the breadth and depth of the experience. If it's not your cup of tea then don't go to those places that cater for it but please don't preach to those of us who enjoy it. We may know where your partner has been – but do you?

Furthermore, the presumptions about foreigners and their habits extends beyond the entertainment scene into daily life, because the kind of gay Thais going to real gay Thai venues are also the kind that you would meet working in real jobs in real life. And why would they want to hang out with the kind of people that everyone always sees going out with prostitutes?
Please can you give us the names of a few "real gay Thai venues" so that the wholesome and moral members of this board can experience them?

As far as I'm concerned it's ok to joke about all of them; established old Middle Eastern 'sacrifice the goat' religions will get little serious attention from me, whether they believe the 'Messiah' came 2000 years ago (Christians), or somewhat more recently (Muslims) or not yet (Jews).
That's whether or not homophobia is conveniently included; though, while I find that family of religions particularly obnoxious on its own; it is surprising to me how tenaciously gay people hold on even to belief sets that have typically socially condemned them. I suppose that's why the low castes in India haven't fully taken over yet.

If anyone wants to hear some erudite, thought provoking debates and talks on this subject I recommend going to You Tube and searching for the names:
Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Pat Condell
All of them are seriously good at debunking the myths and flimflam of the religious fanatics. Highly recommended.
