Far East, Bangkok
A good quality hotel ideal for shopaholics or fitness fanatics
Pathumwan Princess is located above the MBK shopping plaza and just one block from Siam Square with the Siam Centre and Siam Tower shopping malls. If you want to browse for bargains in everything from Nike to ethnic products, this is the place to stay. Yet it’s only one block from a SkyTrain station and just three stops to Sala Daeng for the Silom gay nightlife or a little further to the river.
It’s a tower hotel with 462 guest rooms furnished in a modern tourist hotel international style. Our Superior rooms are 34 sqm with either one kingsize or two single beds. Our Deluxe rooms are 42 sqm and have a seating area. Suites are 64 sqm and include 2 television sets, DVD player, stereo and CD player and a full sized living room.
The hotel’s layout gives it a 6th floor swimming pool and The Olympic Club at 9000 sq metres is the largest fitness centre in Bangkok – both open to day memberships and popular with local gay Thais. Squah, tennis and badminton sourts are also available. There are four restaurant options, three bars and a superb breakfast buffet.

Rating and advising on hotels around the world is a tricky business as standards and facilities vary so widely not to mention issues such as décor style, service levels and location with particular relevance to gay amenities.
We don’t pretend that we have got this right but our Pink Triangles are our attempt to give a personal assessment to enable comparisons to be made between the various properties in an area which we feature. Couple this with price and our hotel descriptions and you should be able to make a reasonable assessment.
