The film adaptation of Rainbow Boys, a popular American award winning series of coming-of-age romance novels, breaks the traditional stereotypes of gay men in Thai cinema.

Aptly known as The People's DJ, David Knapp extended his set and kept everyone's spirits up as they danced by the pool till the sun set on the final day of festivities!

The fifth annual Nation party, which is considered the region's largest gay party, attracted some 2,000 attendees. Held at host hotel Crowne Plaza's ballrooms, the crowd was treated to DJs Kate Monroe (Australia), Manny Lehman (US) and a special greeting specially recorded by Madonna for Nation.V.

With DJs Rock G (Hong Kong), Kosuke (Japan), David Sung (Taiwan) at the decks, the Sanctuary Pool Party - which is being co-hosted by HX Production - proved to be a great success with many dancing in the rain right to the end!

Co-hosted by Japan's Ageha club, DJ Sawa (Japan), Michael Hsu (Taiwan) and six hot as hell go-go boys from the Tokyo club wowed the crowd at the G.Y.M. welcome party.

The welcome party held at the poolside of host hotel Crowne Plaza on Karon Beach was a visual feast! According to the results of a live survey done on Nov 4, the majority of partygoers are from Thailand, Singapore, Japan and the United States.
