Any suggestions ?
Is it safe to travel there ???
I don't know really though I have been there many times .
I don't know which country you come from
but some overseas ministeries advise not to travel to
Thailand's 3 most sourthern provinces , and also Songkhla province unless it is essential .
Why don't you skip Songkhla , and jump to Penang , Malaysia ?
It's much safer , I hope .
And they do have some gay saunas in Penang ( Hat Yai has no gay sauna )
But if yr BF is come from Songkhla province , that would be another story , I guess .
Maybe , P'Tao is the best person to give you suggestions , I think .
He is a Penag resident and a frequent visitor to Hat Yai .
