How to read the local LGBTQ+ context

For Phuket, the city record distinguishes destination signals from national conditions. Phuket currently relies on a historical Gaylidays directory record rather than a connected current GLD API score. The displayed 67/100 value is retained from the historical Gaylidays record and should be treated as provisional until current GLD data is connected.
