Tonight will see the opening of a great new bar in Chiang Mai, just in time for Songkran celebrations. Located in Chang Puek district, just of Chottana Road, G-Star Vintage will be a great addition to Chiang Mai’s main gay district and should attract even more young gay Thais to the area.
In the last eighteen months we have witnessed the massive popularity of See Man Pub, the first real gay mega club in Chiang Mai so G-Star Vintage, which has an excellent reputation in Bangkok will be a worthy new entrant. The location is close to a number of popular late night venues so will be in a good position to capitalise on the gay market.
The new venue looks like it’s going to be really smart with some great guys working there too. They’ve been working flat out to get the venue ready for tonight’s opening. Khun Note and the boys from Radchada will be there. Go Check it out! เชียงใหม่ บาร์เกย์ โคโยตี้บอย
Heading out of the city on Chottana from Kuangsing turn left at the soi with The Pizza Company on the corner (opposite Krung Thai Bank), G-Star vintage is 50m up on the right.
Yes, it’s 500M North of the Superhighway. Before the turn off for Chang Puek Police Station and the lake. Pizza Company is on the corner of the soi. There is now a Google map on our guide page
I am enjoying the KL scene and keeping dry. Outside that is! Dx
Route 107 i think
SORRY But map unclear. Is it north of sh 11 going towards Mae Rim?
With only a day or less to go before the onset of Songkran here’s an update on the gay things to do for Songkran in Chiang Mai.
With TAT forecasting a 10% increase on last year over 300,000 visitors are expected to visit Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand over the Songkran festival with hotel occupancy rates running at around 70%. Even despite the fact half the gay ex-pats seem to have left town there should be plenty of people around having fun.
Radchada Garden Café will be kicking off Songkran on 12th April with a pre Songkran party in the evening starting at 8 p.m. (N.B. after the party Radchada will be closed for the rest of Songkran)
Down on the river in their beautiful antique teakwood mansion, Club One Seven Sauna and Guest house will be having a pool party each evening from 13-15 April 4.30p.m until 6.30p.m including free food and drinks. Theme is swimsuit or naked! As always, the Sauna Steam room and gym will be open until midnight. With so many tourists in town this is a great place to go and meet new friends.
Also down by the River, RAM bar is a great place to go and enjoy Songkran and they will open specially from 12 noon to 12 midnight on each of the 13, 14 and 15 April. If you’ve not been to RAM bar they are a great fun loving bunch of guys who will be sure to throw a good party.
Just off the moat near Thapae gate, Yokka Dok bar is a good place to retreat from the crowds around the moat yet still enjoy the fun. They are also having a Songkran Hawaii Night party on Saturday 13 April starting at 8 p.m.
Soho bar already kicked off Songkran season last Saturday with their Mr Songkran 2013 swimsuit competition. You can check out the pictures on City Now – many a sight for sore eyes there. With a location a mere 100m from the main stage events at Kad Suan Kaew, Soho bar has always been a popular Songkran location and this year should be no exception with all day parties and revelry.
Just remember that both Soho and Yokka Dok locations will be hard to drive to during the day as the traffic is often gridlocked with zero parking and Huay Kaew Road is closed. Better to walk or use public transport if possible.
In previous years, there was often quite a gay contingent outside Lucky bar on the moat near Loi Kroh Road. However, given this was always an informal gathering and that there is an alcohol ban around the moat that may not be the case this year.
Evenings at Songkran are often an anti-climax with many people favouring a quiet dinner rather than a boisterous party after a day of water sport. However, Adam’s Apple Club is always popular with people going to see the show and maybe having a drink in the Garden Bar before.
See Man Pub is also planning night time fun with foam parties on 13-15 April. Other hot activities at See Man Pub are:
13th APR: MISS WORLD BEAUTY CONTEST
14th APR: FOAM PARTY WITH OUR MUSCULAR HOT GUYS
15th APR: MISS SKINHEAD BEAUTY CONTEST
If you’re feeling hungry and want a respite from the water on Sunday don’t forget they do a great Sunday Roast at the Pub on Huay Kaew Road and it’s not too far to walk from the action.
Or, if you want to escape for a massage try the special songkran promotion at The Wall Massage
Whilst others are leading the party charge, some places will be closed over Songkran. On Huay Kaew Road, Pern’s restaurant is closed for the entire month of April and will be re-opening on 2nd May with some major changes and a new menu. Radchada Garden Café in Santitham is also closed over Songkran 13-17 April.
Don’t forget, Songkran includes a host of official events too. Check out this guide on Chiang Mai City News for the full list and some other ideas about where to party.
Khun Note: Attention Please! Attention Please!
Radchada Garden Café will be closed for Songkran from 13 -17 April re-opening on Thursday 18 April.
But don’t despair – before going away for a few days break, Khun Note and the boys will be throwing a pre-Songkran Party to celebrate on Friday 12th April, starting 8 p.m.
Come along and enjoy a free Barbecue, good fun and plenty of drinks. Although it’s Songkran, this is an evening event so there won’t be any throwing of water! We hope…….
With it’s pleasant garden environment, cooling breeze, and beautiful teakwood buildings Radchada Garden Cafe is the perfect place to enjoy a pleasant summer evening before the mayhem that is Songkran in Chiang Mai. And the cute staff are fun too 
Khun Note and the boys look forward to welcoming you. HAPPY SONGKRAN JIAOW HEEEEEEAAWWWWWWWOOOO!
Pictures from previous events and evenings at Radchada Garden Café
Don’t forget,you can also join Khun Note and the gang for Pizza night this Monday Night 8th April. There will be no Pizza Night on Monday 15th April due to Songkran Holiday closure.
In a peaceful location right on the bank of the Ping River, and just a little way to the south of Chiang Mai City center, is Club One Seven. Housed in a beautiful antique teak wood building, Club One Seven is a guest house, gym and Sauna combined in one place offering a fantastic opportunity to relax for a few hours, or a few days.
If you are visiting Chiang Mai for Songkran Club One Seven is a great place to stay and they still have a room or two available, depending on the dates. Contact them soon as they are filling up fast! During the Songkran Festival they will be having the following a Pool party every night during 13-15 April from 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. with theme swimsuit or naked. Free snacks and beverage available.

Gay News from AsiaOut Pink News If you are wondering why many links and posts on this site relate to Burma and the Shan State the reason is simple. Many friends of Radchada Cafe come from the Shan State in South East Burma which borders Thailand, Laos and China.
Shan State is one of the most oppressed parts of Burma where atrocities committed by the Junta against the Shan people are widespread. As a result, many have fled to Thailand and try to survive here as refugees despite less than welcoming treatment by the Thai authorities. To find out more about the Shan, known as "Tai Yai" in Thai, visit some of the links above.
Probably 90% of the young men you will meet in Chiang Mai's host bars and other similar commercial gay venues come from the Shan State, as well as guys from other hill tribe minorities who are denied Thai citizenship. Although mainly straight, the Shan have had a significant effect on the gay farang scene in Chiang Mai, for this reason we try to inform our readers about the Shan people and their problems.
One organisation in Chiang Mai supporting the people of Burma is:
The Best Friend
They run a number of operations in Chiang Mai, Mae Sot and Burma to help refugees providing welfare, support and education. Why not visit the best friend library in Chiang Mai on Nimanhemin Rd Soi 13.
The Best Friend depends entirely on voluntary contributions for all their work. You can support their projects with a monetary donation or by donating books, computers or school supplies.
