Gay hotels and gay-friendly accommodations are concentrated in Bangkok around Silom, because this is where the gay nightlife is located. If you live in Silom, the bars on Soi 4 and the clubs on Soi 2 are on foot on your doorstep, and you can quickly get to the rest of the city via the Sala Daeng BTS station or the Si Lom MRT station. From simple middle-class hotels to larger houses with pools, several hotels in the neighborhood openly cater to queer guests or advertise their proximity to the scene.
But you're not committed to silom. Bangkok is generally relaxed when it comes to dealing with queer travelers, and in districts like Sukhumvit or Sathon, no one looks askance when two men book a double room. The choice depends on what you're up to: Silom is the most practical for long nights in the scene, while if you're looking for more sightseeing and peace and quiet, you're often better off elsewhere and can take the Skytrain or Metro to Silom in a few minutes. Plan early if your visit falls during Bangkok Pride in early summer, as the houses in Silom fill up quickly. The following selection will help you find the location and house for your stay.
