In a Buddhist country like Thailand many places can quite rightly describe themselves as "gay friendly". Same sex couples will be greeted with a warm welcome and smile in most establishments.
At the same time travellers wishing something exclusively gay should be cautious of many gay publications and web sites which accept listings from absolutely any business. Sometimes it seems that a wink and a smile from a staff member is all it takes to get listed as a gay friendly business.
Let us book your accommodation on Samui. We use our local knowledge to get you the best rates and/or best room for any given rate. Here is a list of gay owned and operated guest houses and small resorts. For other truly gay friendly places please contact us for up-to-date information

Banyan Guest House is gay owned and operated. A great setting for a peaceful vacation. Far enough away from the crowded tourist centers and surrounded by Banyan trees but only 10 minutes drive to the Chaweng Beach famous for its wide soft sandy beach and vibrant night life. Banyan House is designed in a contemporary Thai style that combines the architectural style of the bygone era of King Rama VII with a modern European holiday home.
