Upon arrival, you will spend 6 days in Chaing-Mai enjoying northern Thailand with many great standard tours, (including the Golden Triangle area, elephant rides and activities, mountain biking or hiking if you are in shape, temple tours, excellent shopping, and even some great Thai cooking- including standard Thai cooking and vegetarian Thai cooking) many other activities, as well as some incredible hot and wild adventures available to you. There are many types of massage, of which traditional Thai massage and a Foot massage will be included in your Experience package. In Chaing Mai, you will find a more relaxed lifestyle and a somewhat cooler climate than Bangkok. Here, you can enjoy interesting tours in the Chaing-Mai area during the six days in this area.
Next, we are off the bustling city of Bangkok for four days in the capitol. We will stay in the heart of the city across the street from the red light district. As in Chaing Mai, there are many standard great tours available, (the Floating market, the Grand Palace, the many temples, the river and canals, as well as shopping, massages, bars, Babylon (likely the wildest sauna in Asia). So in Bangkok, whether or not you are looking for a wild time, or you are looking every day, either way, you will find plenty in Bangkok.
Next we are off to Pattaya for 5 days and 4 nights(about 100 miles South of Bangkok). Pattaya is a very relaxed beach community with a gay beach area, and of course, snorkeling, scuba diving, jet skiing, swimming in 84-87 degree water, hiking, and more. We will enjoy the gay beach, also we will take a day-long ocean cruise with a stop at an island or maybe two, and of course, the famous Pattaya gay night life! You can't help but have a great time in Pattaya!
Finally, some will want to spend some extra days in Thailand, so we have two add-on options this year. For those who could not get to everything during the initial stay in Bangkok (and there is so much, I dont think anyone could finish Bangkok in four days), there is the Bangkok Add-on. For those who cannot get enough beach, a Pattaya Add-on is available.
All the details of the Experience are below:
The Experience is operated by the CMEN club and we operate through some very fine Thai Travel agencies. This will be our sixth year of incredibly happy men. Although most men who attend are between 50-80, we have had several men in the past in their 30s and 40s.
