Far East, Bangkok
A modern tourist hotel in a good location
Set in the heart of Bangkok’s Silom Road, the Sofitel is a 39 storey tower hotel with 454 rooms, four restaurants and three bars including V9 on the 38th floor offering great views over the city particularly as the sunsets. It’s a modern somewhat international tourist and business hotel with the rooms attractively furnished with a French twist. There is a small pool and fitness centre on the 5th floor and a spa and beauty saloon on the 4th floor.
This popular hotel with gay travellers is around 15 minutes walk through the Patpong Night Market or a 35baht taxi ride to the Silom gay nightlife and slightly less to the river. Chang Nonsi SkyTrain station for easy access around the City is just five minutes walk away.

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.
