TropOut Thailand 2016: a new style of gay travel
By Ben Kelly
OK, so we’ve all been there: you quite fancy going away on a holiday where you’re around like-minded gay people, but sadly you get seasick so the cruise is out, you don’t like leather so Berlin’s a no-no, and *whispers* you don’t really like clubbing that much, so many other party capitals are useless too.
Well fear not, because a brand new sophisticated global gay travel experience is arriving: TropOut. And, in April 2016 it will hold its grand unveiling in southern Phuket, Thailand, at the stylish Angsana Resort on Bang Tao Beach. TropOut is designed to accommodate couples, groups of friends and solo travellers looking for a fun and refined gay travel experience in a tropical paradise.
The trip, from 3-9th April 2016, will be open to up to 1,000 holiday makers who want to experience the best that this scenic and beautiful spot of Thailand has to offer, with the TropOut experience realized in full through a range of open air beach clubs, entertainment and cultural activities – not to mention the very best cuisine and drinks.
Across the week, TropOut guests will get exclusive access to Xana Beach Club, with relaxed music and cocktails, plus a dedicated TropOut hub at Nikki Beach, which is the ultimate spot for relaxation and personal Zen time. And as the sun sets, the atmosphere will electrify as an array of entertainment and the beats of international DJs take the party to another level.
The Founding Director of TropOut, Aaron Zoanetti believes he has identified a gap in the market that they are now keen to fill. “Gay travellers want a travel experience that is more than just a party,” he explains. “No travel experience is truly complete without cultural discovery and personal rejuvenation. Having fun is definitely important, and TropOut will deliver that in abundance, but in a comfortable and sophisticated way. But TropOut is not just about the party.”
So, during TropOut, guests can also experience Thailand’s tantalising culture and sights by attending a number of optional excursions such as island tours, diving expeditions, cooking classes and spa treatments. Furthermore, prior to and after TropOut, guests will have the option to join guided small group journeys with fellow TropOut guests to further uncover and experience the unique culture of Thailand, with trips to Chang Mai, Koh Samui and Bangkok.
To book a spot on this week-long trip for next April, entry level retail prices begin at $1,295, or around £850. For that price, you get:
Six nights of five star accommodation at Angsana Resort, exclusive to TropOut.
Airport transfers.

On top of that, you can be sure that you’ll be around people who are looking for exactly the same thing as you – a slightly more sophisticated, gentrified experience. And whether you go with your partner, a few friends, or for a little time out by yourself, you’re sure to be in great company, enjoying a five star experience.
