I don't own this picture and I can't find the owner either. Amazing picture tho. |
I believe many of you have heard about Chiang Mai. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Thailand. In addition, it is also a creative city yet not so much when it comes to gay scenes (LOL).
So, I decided to take a short break with my work to come to this city where a lot of my friends and my ex call home. (Let me make myself clear, I have no intention to come here to meet him or anything. In fact, he didn't even know I am here)
I started my first night at a so-called best gay bar in Chiang Mai with drag show named Ram Bar (No photos taken, sorry guys). The bar was nice but the drinks were a bit too high according to my standard. However, it is not about the place or the drinks, it is about who you are hanging out with. After Ram Bar, we decided to go to this hidden gem called Boy Bar. Boy bar is owned by a guy named Boy who has fierce sense of fashion, very interesting attitude and very "wow" british accent. He claimed that Boy Bar is not a gay bar - more like a bar for everyone but it appears that more gays go to his bar so people called a gay bar. It is one of very few bars in Chiang Mai that opens until 2 am. I quite enjoyed it.
The next day, I hung out with my Thai friends who used to be my high school classmates. These guys have not seen this side of me since I came out to them yet.
The thing was, I was elected to be a student president back in my high school time and that means I had to be a role model for every single breath I had. Girllllll that was soooooo off-putting. Imagine you wanting so bad to party or go off the track to do stupid stuff that other students could do but you had to make sure that you are that one person that everyone looked up to.
Long story short, after a few buckets, my dancing diva inner soul was awaken and that was when my friends were in an utter "shook" mode. The grinding, the bumping, the twerking and the go-low before butt up in the air was such a photo-finished performance of my night. The morale of this story is that, do not cage your inner soul for too long. Once it is unleashed, it has no mercy ;)
However, the real point is that when it comes to a vacation, especially when you talk about Chiang Mai, people always think that you should explore as much as you can. Well, not for me. My ex used to take me around this city and that was enough. To me, the first 2 nights pretty summed up what I am into and I really had such a great time. I would be lying if I said that I did not use grindr but I did not hookup. That's the tea.
Chiang Mai is such a unique city and you get to see various kind of people. I met this Thai guy who perfects his British accent and sense of fashion. I somehow managed to amaze my Thai friends who always had the picture of me as a student president by being the gayest queen of the night. I could go on a vacation without having my hookup stories to tell my friends and that matters the most ;)
