With honest, detailed descriptions of hotels, restaurants, bars and baths, as well as insights into local culture, the bilingual guide offers recommendations, tips and warnings for the international gay traveler. Quotations from actual visitors round out the descriptions, providing first hand impressions about the gay scene in the various cities. In perhaps the most telling example of how far China has come, one contributor lists several Beijing Starbucks outlets as the best places to meet professional gay men." -- IN Los Angeles Magazine

"Only the naive would believe that modernization brought homosexuality to Japan. The Utopia Guide to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan introduces homosexuality in East Asia via its historical and literary vintage, and brings it to a head in this must-have handbook. Utopia is well known as the world’s most comprehensive and authoritative English-language resource on gay Asia. Their guide is is written with a sensitive finger on the social, cultural and political pulse of the three countries it covers. It turns the most casual riffler into a reader with its knowing commentary on various gay issues and evocative descriptions of various gay scenes and areas. Directions to often difficult-to-find establishments are set out in meticulous and easy-to-follow detail, and there are ample tips, depending on the establishment, to make your experience there as enjoyable as possible. The frequent ‘Comments from Utopians’ are especially helpful." -- JapanVisitor.com

click here to order the Utopia Guide to Asia
"A really good place to start looking for information...excellent coverage of gay and lesbian events and activities across Asia." -- Lonely Planet

"An excellent resource for gay travellers to all regions of Asia..." -- Rough Guide

"Given the dearth of GLBT-specific guidebooks to major destinations in the West, the breadth of the Utopia series—covering parts of the world much less friendly to gay visibility—is impressive. With simple page layouts and a DIY editorial style that incorporates texts of e-mails solicited from travelers, the books offer a refreshing candor and lack of hype. News and updates are posted regularly on the Utopia-Asia website, perhaps the best and least commercially biased online resource for planning gay-friendly Asian travel. The guidebooks and web portal scrupulously avoid including businesses such as go-go bars, and feature significant sections on social groups, clubs, and businesses catering to lesbians." -- Passport Magazine

"The Obi Wan Kenobi of the Asian gay cyber community. All seeing, all knowing. Drop by and feel the force." -- Rice Magazine

Elvis sighted in Thonburi, Thailand


    "Hey Joe!"

    Dennis Lump blinked up from the morning Bangkok Post and slurped in a noodle that had been loitering in the dark corner of his well-practiced happy face grin.

    Mister Lee’s spit-polished Datsun, a well-preserved relic of the Vietnam War R&R era as was Mister Lee himself, grinned back, reflecting an unwelcome beam of morning cheer into the shadows of the Terdsak Guesthouse patio restaurant. Vampire cockroaches with hollow black eyes and lobster red backpackers recently broiled on the beaches of Koh Dingdong skittered away from the sudden glare.

    "Comeon Joe," Mister Lee stuck his Raybanned cube of a face out the car window, his teeth phosphorescing like a Darlie toothpaste commercial, "I wanna show you my temple."

    Dennis knew that an invitation from Mister Lee was like reading the first paragraph of a great sci-fi novel that he wouldn’t be able to put down once begun.

    "OK," the Lumpster thumbed-up and tipped off his miniature plastic stool, "lemme grab my camera."
