Chasing the Pink Dragon
June 10th, 2006 | Published in glbt | 11 Comments
Just for the upcoming Nation party in October, Jetstar Asia has partnered with Fridae to offer four exclusive flights into Phuket — specifically, and only, for Nation partygoers. I’m trying to imagine a plane full of gay men and women. Would the 20kg baggage limit be enough? :)
Now that Singapore has officially renounced its chase of the pink dollar, Thailand can only gain:
“Marketers worldwide believe gay tourists individually spend more than general tourists. According to Thailand’s Nation newspaper last year, an official from the Phuket Tourism Association estimated that the Nation.V partygoers spent a whopping Bt30 million (USD 783,600) in the province.”
Next year, Popagandhi holds her own breakaway GLBT party on the deserted Thai island of Koh Lipe, part of the Tarutao group of islands, where one season of Survivor was shot. Who’s coming? I’ll be chartering four exclusive sampans. Cost of tickets does not include lifejackets as this is a budget sampan service.
