Popular Post timendres Posted November 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2023 In my experience, his welcome will have so much more to do with his personality and how he treats other people, than it will with him having a boyfriend. 12 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nausea Posted November 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2023 Yeah, it'll be interesting to hear from a member of the Udon Thani expat community. I'd be very surprised if there's any general hostility. No doubt, as is true everywhere, one or two individuals might have a problem. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DILLIGAD Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Whilst I don't know the expat community in the city mentioned, i have lived/worked in Isaan for the last 18 odd years. Most people here are either (mainly, not 100%) retired or younger teachers. I would suggest that most will not care that he is gay, but what might give him more trouble, is that he is 'extroverted' because some might have different takes on that and see it as rude, unfriendly, overpowering because they are quiet people (of any gender). just my two-penneth!

Popular Post oxo1947 Posted November 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2023 After 7 years in Pattaya --I have now been in Udon for the last 18 years---- your friend must have visited Udon to make the decision to move here. So he would know there are gay bars / Gay massage etc. As Mentioned its so much more to do with his personality and how he treats other people, rather than his sexual preference. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death sentence for homosexuality in some of those places. Comparatively speaking "Western" countries are more tolerant than most. Thailand of course is similarly tolerant. But I don't thin kthe OP was asking about Thai people's attitudes, rather that of expats in a specific part of the country. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw white guys hiring ladyboys there in Udon. Of course there will be bigots but mostly nobody cares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodom and Gomorrha Fortunately most expats think that anyone who is LGBTQIA+ is just another person and accept them or not depending on their personality. Thailand isn't a perfect paradise for LGBTQIA+, but is one Hell of a lot better than most countries. If you don't like being in a country like Thailand, where LGBTQIA+ people are accepted, then I suggest you find another country to live in. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
