Gay / Lesbian Phuket
The Phuket Gay scene is centered around the main resort town on Patong Beach, specifically, the Paradise Complex on Rat-U-Thit road. In this area, you'll find many bars, clubs and shops catering to gay men. It's a bit less commercial than Pattaya, but the night life is still predominately made up of host and go-go bars.
