Andy Hicks, owner of HIX Inc., a small health care technology consulting business in Denver, travels frequently. And as a gay man, he said, he’s enjoyed acceptance in many destinations — even in Cuba, where he traveled this year with his partner. “We didn’t know what to expect,” Mr. Hicks said. “We had zero problems.”
The travel industry offers gay travelers everything from special cruises and tours to gay-friendly hotels. But there are still many places in the world, including many countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific, as well as Russia, where laws or social customs create an unwelcoming and unsafe environment for travelers who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. More than 75 countries consider consensual same-sex sexual relations a crime, and in about 10 countries a person could be put to death for being gay, according to the United States State Department.

Gay travelers advised to plan well
Re: Gay travelers advised to plan well
Neighboring countries to mostly east of Thailand: Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, all have no specific legislation penalising same-sex sexual acts decriminalised, or never existed. In Thailand this Includes protection in employment, Constitution, and other non-discrimination protections, such as hate crime and hate speech.
Neighboring countries to the mostly east by northeast of Thailand are: Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, etc. have progressively worse legislation against same-sex sexual acts and are punishable up to 14 years and in some countries, death.
