Rainbow Sky Association of Thailand (RSAT)

The Rainbow Sky Association of Thailand (RSAT) is one of the country's longest-running LGBTQ organisations, working on health and rights for gay, bisexual and transgender people. From its Bangkok base in the Bang Kapi area it runs HIV and sexual-health services, free and confidential testing, counselling and community outreach, alongside advocacy work. For visitors it is a useful contact for testing and health advice and for meeting the local community outside the bar and sauna scene. It is an office and service centre, not a social venue, so check the website or contact them before turning up.
