Tag Directory

Both articles and gay venues in Chiang Mai that are listed on this site have tag names associated with them. Tags are either used to categorise articles with similar topics, e.g Christmas or Night Bazaar or they provide a page for a particular gay venue with details of the venue, location map and a list with summaries of all articles tagged to that venue. e.g. Ram Bar

You can select tags from the list below or also from the Tag Cloud in the left hand sidebar. Articles are also classified by Categories which can be selected from the drop down list in the side bar.

We do not delete old venues from our database, so the tags can also be used to find the history of long closed venues.
