Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and today I did something that my younger, more rested self would have called ambitious and my current self calls a personal crisis with good lighting. I booked a same-day return flight to Bangkok. Woke up, saw a cheap fare, said “why not,” and apparently forgot […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me paint you a picture. It’s 7am, I’m standing in a jungle clearing in Phuket, covered in mud, and a 47-year-old elephant named Boon Mee has just decided my shoulder is the perfect spot to rest her enormous, wrinkled, absolutely magnificent head. I am, in […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Look, I’ve been to a lot of Pride events in my life. Big ones, small ones, the kind where a corporate float sponsored by a bank somehow ends up leading the parade, and the kind where someone’s auntie shows up with a homemade sign and absolutely […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and today we are talking about Tonsai Beach on Koh Phi Phi, which is exactly the kind of place that makes you question every life choice that kept you sitting in an office for the past decade. Limestone cliffs jutting out of turquoise water, longtail boats […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, …and I need to talk about Ko Samui. Specifically, I need to talk about what Ko Samui did to me in forty-eight hours, because sis, I was not prepared.

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me paint you a picture. It’s 10am, I’m standing on a longtail boat, white-knuckling a rope with one hand and holding my hat with the other, sea spray absolutely destroying my “effortless beach look”… and I am completely here for it. Because at the end […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, Let me paint you a picture. It’s 7am. I’m standing on a pier in Phuket, sunscreen already melting off my nose, wearing the kind of floral shirt that says “I fully committed to this vacation.” A longtail boat is bobbing in front of me, and somewhere […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, and I need to confess something before we dive in. I have stood on Bangla Road, sweaty, slightly glittery from a bar crawl, and handed over my baht to the absolute wrong mango sticky rice cart. The result was a sad, gummy clump of rice with […]

Hi Traveler, it’s Journey Wilde with Gay Thai Travel, and I am about to tell you about the day a 4,000-pound woman changed my life and I didn’t even buy her a drink first. I know, I know. You came to Gay Thai Travel for the rooftop bars and the Singhas and the staff at […]
