Is Thailand really a gay paradise?

[Pix]

I vaguely recall hearing that transsexuals sometimes prefer Thailand because they can get SRS there without jumping through a bunch of hoops as they have to do in western nations.

OTOH, I also vaguely recall a thread here in which someone from Thailand was anxious about other Thai Americans seeing him as gay.

In any case, you might find this interesting:
