All the destinations in Asia we handle are hospitable and welcoming to gay and LGBT pride. Same sex travel is no different, however we understand there are a few more considerations to take into account when you are choosing your holiday destination, especially in Asia, you must respect local culture, traditions and behave according to local customs. Any physical and sexual intimacy is not well perceived, even among straight couples and is discouraged. You will frequently see men walking arm-in-arm or hand-in-hand and seemingly affectionately to one another, but they are not gay, nor in a relationship. But make no mistake: they are not displaying sexual affection for one another in a physical manner. It is strongly advisable for same-sex guests (especially male guests) and heterosexual couples to avoid public displays of affection, particularly in rural locations which may be more conservative. LGBT female couples, especially those who do not present in a gender non-conforming way, can travel under the radar. Their concerns are more those of any female traveler: safety and fear of harassment. You will be treated well choosing a hotel accommodation at the 4 or 5 stars, and your perceived sexuality will not be an issue among customer-facing hotel personnel.
However, we suggest an organized and guided trip by a friendly tour operator. You can choose any tour at our website to any destination or simply ask for customized holiday and our team will be happy to assist you.
Thank you.
