Day 1
Upon your morning arrival in Bangkok, your gay group guide will greet you at the airport and take you to the hotel (early check-in included). After taking a few moments to have a shower and relax, it’s time for your first discovery tour! Just like the locals, you’ll take the Skytrain right into the city centre. If you’re hungry, don’t worry – Thailand is a paradise of culinary delights! You’ll try some of these at a traditional restaurant. Later, get ready to enjoy the breathtaking view from the rooftop bar Above Eleven. On the 33rd floor, you’ll be mesmerised by the never-ending sea of lights while sipping on a delicious cocktail. What a great way to kick off an unforgettable gay holiday!

Day 2
If you’re an early riser, why not head to Lumphini Park? This is where the Bangkok locals start the day with tai chi and yoga. After a hearty breakfast, get ready for another exciting city tour. Hop on the Skytrain and then on a long-tail boat – our first stop is Khlong Bang Luang, the unique floating market. Next, you’ll take the express boat across the Chao Phraya River to Wat Pho with its iconic temple towers, the Royal Palace, and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Once you’ve taken dozens of photos, you’ll take the express boat back down the river and still have plenty of time to explore the many "shopping temples" in Bangkok: Siam Paragon, MBK Centre or Terminal 21 close to the hotel – each one has its own unique flair. In the evening, you’ll take an enchanting boat trip on the city’s numerous canals.
