Hey everyone,

A Call to Gather…….In Thailand!

Thursday 25 January 2007 to Sunday 4 February 2007

From Thursday 25 January to Sunday 4 February 2007, gay men from around the world will converge on the magical island of Ko Yao Yai near Phuket, Thailand. Last years' gathering found 35 men beaming into our island paradise from the US, Middle East, Europe and all over Asia. This year we are again expecting a big turnout as those who attended from 2004 to 2006 spread the word throughout Asia and the world. So please plan ahead and register early as space is limited.

While some will gather in Bangkok before and after the gathering, there are no formal events scheduled at this time. The gathering itself will be 10 days long covering two weekends and the week in between. Please plan to be with us for the entire length of the gathering if at all possible.

The gathering site will be the same as in previous years, the remote and undeveloped island of Ko Yao Yai, at the beach front resorts owned by Ae and Muneeb. We look forward to another fabulous 10 day adventure of fun and self discovery. Look up the island on Google Earth or visit our website for delicious photos from past gatherings.... www.asianfaeries.com

This is a non-profit event supported by the Dutch foundation in Amsterdam called 'Eurofaerie' (www.eurofaerie.org ) and organized locally by a diverse group of guys living in Thailand, Malaysia, Estonia and the US. The idea is for gay men from all over the world to meet in a quiet and beautiful natural setting and get to know each other and ourselves better. We will have morning group talks, nature walks, swimming, snorkeling and maybe even a cross-cultural romance or two. We improvise our activities as we go along through the week, but please also plan on a talent show, fund-raising auction, and making lots of new friends.

We have been meeting like this in the USA for 25 years, in Europe for 11 years and this will be our fourth meeting in Asia. We REALLY hope to get more Asian guys involved, so please spread the word.

We will have a new sliding scale gathering fee system this year that will allow all to attend at the level they can afford. For now we are not planning to offer any full scholarships to the gathering, but if attendance is high enough we may be able to offer some travel scholarships for men wanting to attend from developing countries in the region: Vietnam, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, etc.

Please visit our website after September for full details regarding the cost of the gathering as well as registration info and photos from 2006 gathering. If you have financial concerns yet really want to attend, please be in touch and we will work with you to make your attendance possible.
