Going HK for the week end

Finally my time in Asia is soon to be over for the moment (i hope & think). To 'celebrate' it, i go with a bunch of friends to Hong-Kong for a long week end.

Although, they are not gay, i'll be there with my boy friend and i plan to do one "gay places evening". Thus i checked a bit utopia and... wahoo! The city is just a bit bigger than Hanoi (8millions vs 6) but it's so full of gay or gay-friendly places! Even more than the Bangkok listing!

Anybody knows why? It could be it's a trendy place and many gays go there for working or leisure? Despite the chinese environment it's unofficially open?

A kiss in HK (it looked so cute to me... i hope i can do the same there ;-) )

In order to make this post a bit more informative, an edit:
It's easy and cheap to go HK from Hanoi though it's a long journey:
* Hanoi -> Bangkok at 9pm (perfect if you leave work at vietnamese hour like 5 pm), arrives at 10:45pm. There are some cheap hotel close to the airport
* Bangkok -> Macau: You got a flight at 7 am, arrives at 10am.
* Macau -> Hong Kong: there is boat transportation evry hour but i don't know the price yet.
* Bangkok -> Hanoi: flight at 6:45 am, arrives at 8:35, you can be at work at 9:30/10 am

Hanoi - Bangkok can cost around 100$ and Bangkok - Macau also 100$ which sum up 200$... if you take it at least 1 month in advance (imho). The hotel in Hong Kong look impressive but not as cheap as Vietnam or Thailand, the cheapest are around 60$/night.

You can also go direct to HK from Bangkok but the flight time is bad for short trips. Another possibility is to fly direct from Hanoi. There was a promotion at vietnam airlines for 350$ including 2 nights in a 3 stars hotel but you fly in the middle of the day... For non promotional, i have no idea but i would say at least 400$.

Formalities:

Most westerners can make their visa on arrival in Macau or Hong Kong. Vietnamese have to make it before departure and it can be such pain, especially if you are from a northern province... It seems that a visa for Hong Kong is sufficient to enter Macau (as it's not possible to do a Macau visa in Hanoi, according to my bf).

Going west

Tomorrow i will fly to Bangkok. I won't be alone (this time) as i go with my boyfriend, first holyday together, and also a bunch of friends.

All of them are newbies to Bangkok thus i will have to be the tour guide... too bad i failed to contact the hotel. Well, i will do as usual, i will try the hotels i know, there will be free rooms for sure...somewhere.

As i don't go alone, especially concerning my bf, and i'm a bit more confident about gayness: i will go to the dark alleys full of PLU (people like us) as Silom Farang call us.

I'm sure to go to nice places like telephone or dick's cafe, i hope we'll dare to go to place like DJ-station and unprobably to some gay gogobars. It's not that we will want to do some i still consider quite immoral but as i did girls gogo sightseeing i am vry curious about boys ones! Evidently i will have to go to straight only places with my friends though i may be able them to tapas which is at the enter of a gay soi (if i remember correctly)... so maybe get them to there... would be fun to see that.

Actually, i already went to one these bars but it was an accident. I met a farang and a thai friends at the sala daeng bts and after enough we decided to get a drink and went straight into the nearest soi. 10 sec after seating the thai went red and after 1 min we guessed where we were ("voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir" song). Fortunately it was not even 6pm so it was still cool.

Have a nice week-end, i guess we will have one!
