Gay Laos Guide for gay travelers. Find information gay bars, gay clubs, gay hotels, gay-owned restaurants, gay massage spas in Laos. Reviews, maps, photos. In Laos' laid-back capital, you'll find a society where acceptance comes with a subtle nod rather than a rainbow parade. Vientiane's charm lies not in its flashy gay scene, but in its genuine, judgment-free embrace of all travelers. We spent about a week in Vientiane in on a several week laos trip trying to get to know as many locals and expats living in the city as possible.
Like most other Southeast Asian countries, Laos is pretty open towards gay people. However, the situation is not comparable to the Philippines or Thailand, where there are many bars, events, and hotels catering to the LGBTQ+ community. After all, Laos is still a pretty conservative country with traditional values. In this article we want to dig deeper into the realities of gay traveling in Laos. There is no specific age of consent mentioned in the law. Homosexuality is not forbidden, but same-sex sexual acts are considered a violation of traditional lifestyles and are therefore not officially recognised. Gays in Laos live inconspicuously and mostly in stable partnerships, which are often terminated abruptly after years due to family pressure to force the partners into traditional heterosexual relationships.

I live in a small town that is known for its diversity called Worthington. The Laotian community in Worthingon is very well known, and the mayor Al Oberloh attends and celebrates the Lao New Year event.
