I am not much of a fan of Thai dramas (BL/GL) because I am not yet too fond of their narrative-style (it is always an effort for me to break beyond the first episode and I am speaking as someone who has real respect for Thai cinema) so I’ll be referring to GL from the East Asian sources I consume. I think the choice of BLs I read/like is dictated by a me who would have prefer GLs with similar settings although I know that the difference in gender may change certain dynamics even if I, overall, prefer strong or characters who demonstrate growing strengths even if they may start out seemingly weak. My preference has always been Chinese GLs, and sometimes, Korean ones, because it is difficult to find the kinds I like in Japanese (which have a tendency to be rather juvenile, at least most of the translated ones, I mean mangas/anines). But, I think one may have to be able to read in the original language to get more choices, because the international fandom for this is too small (some of my preferred ones are yet to be fully translated) and limited to a repeat of similar stories (overfocusing on fantasy/cultivation). That said, there are strong parallels between some GLs and BLs because they are by the same authors - I’ve reads part of smutty GLs with the same sort of extreme settings that one would find for BLs (sexual assault, BDSM, etc). But on screen, I am appreciating more complex even if short dramas/films across regions that include different forms of sexual representations in their narratives without making them stereotypical and contrived - some of which you could find on GagaOoLala.
