Over the last few years I've been checking out quite some of the so-called gayfriendly hotels in Bkk, here some short notes:

* Swiss Lodge:

Nice personal, first-class Hotel, very nice and big minibars in room, small swimming pool, good location, expensive

* Tarntawan Place:

Smiliar to Swiss Lodge, but I'd prefer Swiss Lodge in this sort of price range; Tarntawan has no pool on its own; breakfast 24hrs, included in room rate (even american breakfast); free internet use in lobby

* Malaysia Hotel:

Uncomplicated, cheap hotel, boys to off in the coffee shop, excellent food in Malai Coffee Shop; quite big pool; but seems not really safe/secure (bad experiences with credit cards left in suitcase in room).

* Pinnacle Lumpinee:

Excellent value for money. Nice staff, location near Malaysia Hotel and Babylon; nice rooftop whirlpool; best deal in Silom for me.

* Tower Inn:

Big rooms, nice rooftop pool, furniture in rooms quite run-down, double the price of the pinnacle, but not really better.

* Babylon Barracks:

Baronness Suites very nicely decorated, very nice views from there, but too expensive (3500bt up); Standard rooms not bathroom, no minibar, too expensive for value offering (1000bt).

* Chatra Court Appartements:

Best deal for me in Sukhumvit area (betw. Soi 15 and 19) - very personal, feel at home. Studio rooms big (about 35-40sqm), big fridge, kitchenette, nice pool with no people using it ;-). Gay operated.
