Nakedness is Next to Godliness in Thailand

Thailand is Heaven on Earth, only improvable – like everything in life - with the addition of naked men. Everything To Sea are naked holiday specialists that have you covered – or uncovered – in that respect. From January 28 to February 3, 2025, their luxurious clothing-optional villa for naked men in Thailand is open to all men, from the experienced nudist to the bashful nudism newbie. Form memorable naked friendships with like-minded men for seven days in a stunningly beautiful three-floored luxury villa with sea and bay views, gorgeous guest rooms, lavish Thai gardens and an infinity pool boasting a bottom-filled, bottomless bar. When not letting it all hang out in the villa you can take a Thai cooking class, hike past pristine beaches, explore the temples of nearby Phuket, see ladyboy drag shows or watch men sweat it out in a Muay Thai kickboxing match - and much more. Book now and escape to where little is left to the imagination.

Come Spain on Our Parade in 2025

Calling all gays for our 2025 7 Days in Spain group trip! After the successes of the last three years, on May 14-20, 2025, we’re heading back to Barcelona and Sitges for the fourth time. Barcelona is a stunning city beautifully sandwiched between mountains and sea - with all year-round sunshine, hunk-filled beaches, instantly recognizable monuments with stunning architecture (like Gaudi's Sagrada Familia cathedral), vibrant gay nightlife within areas such as Eixample (or Gaixample as the locals call it) and fabulous restaurants serving delicious tapas realness. On our trip we’ll see all this and more on a dynamic range of tours. Then there’s Sitges, the seaside town with a lot of personality, where the gays go to unwind. Together we’ll explore its restaurant/bar filled cobblestone streets, seafront promenade and gorgeous beaches – including a cheeky nudist one! Oh, and there’ll be wine, lots of wine. 

SPECIAL OFFER FOR SOLO TRAVELERS

The price of the trip is $2,095 per person. Solo travelers who book by October 31, 2024 can also get a private room for the same price, with no single supplement.

Gay Travel Guide to Lisbon

Lisbon is not necessarily the first city you think of visiting when planning a trip to Europe. It’s no London, Paris or Rome with world class monuments or famous museums. Lisbon has never claimed to be this type of European capital city but it doesn’t mean it has any less to offer. In fact, Lisbon has so much to offer, it’s surprising it hasn’t been popular for longer. Located on the western edge of southern Europe, this Portuguese capital sits just off the Atlantic Ocean and offers amazing landscapes, architecture, culture, beaches and more. The weather is mild year round and it’s easily the least expensive capital city in Western Europe. While the gay scene is smaller than other major cities, it’s still very developed and has a lot to offer for any LGBTQ+ traveler.

The Virgin Experience – The Best Things to Do on a Virgin Voyages Cruise

No one forgets their first time…on a cruise ship. Escaping from the humdrum of life on land, getting to see several ports at once and losing yourself on ships akin to floating resorts chocked full of exciting things to do. Virgin Voyages is one of the best and one of the newest, having only launched in 2021 as an adult-only cruise line. They exchange screaming children for tranquility by day and spicy entertainment by night, all with fair prices. Most importantly they are also one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly brands out there. Virgin Voyages may not be specifically a gay cruise line, but they have certainly gone above and beyond to provide for their LGBTQ+ attendees. Two Bad Tourists will even be hosting group trips on cruises with them in 2024, one visiting Spain, France and Italy and the other visiting Croatia and Greece.
