Chasing the Pink Dragon
10 Jun
Just for the upcoming Nation party in October, “Jetstar Asia”:http://www.jetstarasia.com/ has partnered with “Fridae”:http://www.fridae.com/ to “offer four exclusive flights”:http://fridae.com/newsfeatures/article.php?articleid=1694&viewarticle=1 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:
bq. “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.
