Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and I once booked what the listing called a “charming character room” in Patong and arrived to find a ceiling fan, a window that faced a concrete wall, and a communal bathroom where someone had helpfully taped a motivational quote above the toilet. The quote was […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, I once tried to plan a Phuket trip on the fly. No itinerary, no research, just vibes and a carry-on. I ended up spending Day One lost in a Patong 7-Eleven eating a microwaved tosties at noon because I could not decide what to do with […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me set the scene. It’s 11pm, the humidity is doing something criminal to my hair, I’ve already had two Chang beers and a shot of something pink that I cannot name, and I am standing in the middle of a narrow Patong street while a […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me paint you a picture. It’s my third day in Bangkok, I am running late for a temple I have been dreaming about since 2019, I am standing at the SuperRich Exchange in Silom in forty-degree heat, and a tuk-tuk driver is quoting me a […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me paint you a picture. It’s my first night in Bangkok. I’m standing on a sidewalk that smells like heaven and motor oil, staring at a cart operated by a tiny woman named Fon who has been cooking pad kra pao longer than I’ve been […]

Soaking wet, shrieking, […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me paint you a picture. It’s 11am. The Bangkok sun is already trying to personally assassinate you. You’ve just been dropped off by your Grab driver at what you thought was the entrance to Chatuchak Weekend Market. Except… you are surrounded by fish tanks. Hundreds […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, I want to tell you about the time I showed up to a Bangkok rooftop bar in flip-flops and a tank top that said something I will not repeat here, and the doorman looked at me the way my mother looks at my life choices. He […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and I need you to take a deep breath, because Bangkok is about to absolutely ruin you for every other city on the planet. I say this as someone who showed up for a long weekend eight years ago and, well, you can see what happened. […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me paint you a picture. It’s 9pm, I’m sitting on a plastic stool on Silom Soi 4, ice-cold Chang in hand, the fairy lights are doing their thing overhead, and gorgeous people are everywhere. The bill for my entire day, including a temple, a ninety-minute […]
