Lodging
238 Guest House
A small, lesbian-owned and run guesthouse with only 16 rooms. Lots of women stay here, but the hotel is open to all. Clean rooms and English spoken, the 238 is located in the heart of old Bangkok.

Metropolitan Bangkok
If you want to blow some serious cash on a totally swanky hotel in Bangkok, you might consider the Metropolitan. With locations in London and Bangkok, this TAG-approved hotel is mainstream, but absolutely welcomes gay and lesbian visitors.

President Soliataire
Another big-bucks hotel that is mainstream, yet TAG-approved (meaning they totally welcome a gay and lesbian clientele). For those who prefer to shell out a couple hundred dollars (as compared to about $40 U.S. which can still get you a pretty nice place in Bangkok), President Solitaire is another option.

Regency Park
European/North American style hotel that's part of the Accor chain. The hotel has a rooftop pool, air conditioning and all the basic amenities. Welcoming to gay and lesbian travellers, you'll spend a lot more money here on a room than you would at a local Thai hotel.

The Urban Age
Calling itself an "urban hostel", the Urban Age is a small spot, with only ten rooms. Fairly clean, with a simple Asian aesthetic, this mainstream hotel is very gay/lesbian friendly.
