Bangkok Gay mid-range hotels

Looking for a reasonably-priced, comfortable room in a great location for sightseeing, shopping and the gay scene? Here are our recommendations for 2013, divided by areas:

Silom & Sathorn – Near the gay bars & clubs in Silom (Bangkok’s main gay district) and a great base from which to explore the city.

Siam & Lumpini – The city center, close to the huge shopping malls, restaurants & cinemas. The Siam BTS Skytrain station is just two stops from Silom.

Sukhumvit - Exclusive district with many luxury shopping malls, hospitals and condominiums.

We have separate pages for luxury Bangkok hotels and budget-priced Bangkok hotels and hostels.

Silom & Sathorn area

Facilities include a 40-inch LCD TV with local and international satellite channels, a surround sound system, bathroom with separate shower, walk-in closet, balcony, WiFi, alarm clock, in-room safe and hair dryer.  An extensive buffet breakfast is served in the ground floor breakfast area.

One reason why Baan K is cheap is that it does not have a pool or sun terrace (and only small gym).  But Babylon, with its fabulous sun terrace, pool, gym facilities and other, more carnal attractions, is just a 10-minute walk from Baan K.  Likewise, the gay bars and clubs in Silom Soi 2 are just a 10-minute walk.
