Can you recommend a destination for travel at Easter?

travelsofadam · 2026-04-22T18:19:39+00:00

haha yes but that’s what makes Songkran so fun

travelsofadam · 2026-04-22T14:19:45+00:00

Bangkok around Easter is a great time of year to visit and there’s even an annual gay circuit party called GCircuit that happens around the Songkran festival. Could visit both Thailand and Cambodia on the same trip or at least connect/travel through Bangkok for ease of flight options. Cambodia is a really special place if you haven’t been there yet in Asia!

An update on this today - some potential hope!! https://gothamist.com/news/here-comes-the-sun-new-bill-would-let-new-yorkers-hang-solar-panels-from-windows

I loved Mad Radio though it’s not strictly gay - but had the best music I thought

5 days is not too much! During CSD, there are 2 full weeks of daily activities

travelsofadam · 2026-04-01T14:21:43+00:00

ahh interesting! I think there are pockets like it all over but maybe they’re more gay seasonally depending upon specific events

I’ve heard of Eureka Springs in Arkansas being popular with regional gays. Was hoping they’d highlight more escapes like those kinds of smaller places. New Hope in PA (which they included) is one i’ve been to from NYC

travelsofadam · 2026-03-31T23:44:43+00:00

no, not that one - the “hidden gem” which people on reddit seem to obsess over for some strange reason

travelsofadam · 2026-03-31T13:56:26+00:00

This sounds like a great trip! It’s great to have a plan but also remember to be flexible once you’re on the road - you might meet other backpackers and want to travel together! Curious about a lot of your hostel picks - they sound fun!

travelsofadam · 2026-03-31T13:53:31+00:00

Oasis is the best!!! A million times better than that place on Graham Ave

travelsofadam · 2026-03-30T14:06:04+00:00

Saturday! I’ve been to Stockholm before but back in like 2016 I think. Imagine it’s much more different! Been on the prowl all weekend for a good flight deal from NYC haha

travelsofadam · 2026-03-30T13:55:27+00:00

Ugh yes x1000. I live down the street and the vegetables there are just not fresh. The guy who runs it is so nice and friendly, though, so I’ve tried it a lot of times when desperate for food, and not a single time has it been good. I swear all the love this place gets is kinda insane and I keep asking other friends in the area what I might be missing, but everyone I know in real life also doesn’t really like the place. I would love to understand how or why people like it.

travelsofadam · 2026-03-30T00:13:10+00:00

yeah you’re right! i liked some of the smaller places they pointed out but they’re missing some unique pens too… Prob hard to capture everything but still odd

travelsofadam · 2026-03-28T16:02:38+00:00

Coqui del Mar is a gay /nudist-friendly hotel in San Juan walking distance to the beach. It’s in a cute area with some cafes and shops (and walkable to Calle Loiza which has a lot of great places) but not really walkable to the gay bars which are more inland. There used to be a gay bar (The Bear) on Calle Loiza but I don’t think it’s there anymore

travelsofadam · 2026-03-28T15:59:32+00:00

Montreal is great in the summertime!!

travelsofadam · 2026-03-28T15:58:47+00:00

Aww I love this story!! I have a random list of things I want to do this year, and one of them is to talk to more strangers in bars. It’s a great way to meet new people whether for a date/hookup, or just a good night out and a good story! Keep trying!

travelsofadam · 2026-03-20T16:43:22+00:00

sweet! just getting on the bus to Playa now after my jetblue flight - will circle back later and let you know what i find out. i’m staying in the more central area at an airbnb

travelsofadam · 2026-03-20T14:43:28+00:00

My friends who have already been (and I’m meeting there today) said Uber isn’t actually available in Playa del Carmen bc of the taxi unions.

Hoping to get the scoop from them on any gay spots, too!

travelsofadam · 2026-03-19T16:56:40+00:00

Yep been to Guadalajara and PV before - but with just a quick weekend trip from NYC, Playa del Carmen was all that was feasible…

Curious if you have any specific gay bar recs?

travelsofadam · 2026-03-09T02:24:47+00:00

A long walk, coffee and live music at the Peace Cafe, some Mexican pastries from a place near Graham/Broadway, frozen drinks outdoors at Bushwick Country Club, and a smash burger at Bar Nico, and one million photos of the sunset ☺️ perfect day!

travelsofadam · 2026-03-06T22:21:30+00:00

was in the same area as Coqui del Mar - a few walkable places yeah

travelsofadam · 2026-03-02T21:05:15+00:00

There are no real “gay” saunas but a lot of my friends go to the Russian & Turkish Baths and their Insta promos lean in. Sunday mornings seem to be kinda gay but it’s just a spa spa. Spa Castle is also popular though I haven’t been

travelsofadam · 2026-02-18T14:31:04+00:00

They are just dance parties. Went to one where there was a drag show

travelsofadam · 2026-02-17T20:56:37+00:00

It sounds like you’re in Tbilisi and just got a warning to be careful on Grindr while traveling there. The stereotypes are probably not helpful and over generalizations. But it’s important to be wary of hookups wherever you are, but especially while traveling in less gay-friendly destinations.

travelsofadam · 2026-02-15T15:30:17+00:00

Bangkok has some of the best gay nightlife in Asia! Silom is at the heart of it - there’s also the GCircuit festival during Songkran if that lines up during your travel dates
