Bangkok gay cruising

Home / dating hookup / Bangkok gay cruising

Here you will feel like hanging out to dish up the latest gossip, rather than tripping the light fandango. The dorms are nice and not crowded it has a good social space with free tea coffee and noodles all day and night so if you’re feeling peckish after spending the night in DJ Station then they have you covered.

The hostel is across the road from the Skytrain so easy to navigate the rest of the city.

Focused on inclusivity and fun, it's set to become a must-visit spot for those needing something a little different.

Pickle BKK

This listening bar in the Bang Rak area offers a nostalgic retro ambience. Now, I by no means have a body with big shoulders, abs and even arms, I’m one of those guys who avoids the gym with a barge pole unless one of my mates forces me to go.

This is the first major attraction I visited in Bangkok (other than 7/11), and I was surprised that they charge a different price for foreigners, it was free for Thai people but 500 Baht (£11.10*) for everyone else, you will find this a lot in SE Asia where the locals get a huge discount. That being said there are three attractions in the city that I wouldn’t miss regardless of how much time you have in Bangkok.

The Grand Palace

This is a must-visit for every traveller to Thailand.

It's a rule that you've got to dress to kill here, otherwise you might spoil the ambience.

Circus Soi 4

Situated in Silom Soi 4, this bar was once known as Telephone Pub. It promises three over-the-top drag shows every night.

The crowd is a mixture of tourists and locals and with the laid-back atmosphere is a great place to strike up a conversation.

Here’s why I like them;

No entry fee
Cheapest drinks I could find in the gay scene in Bangkok (When not happy hour elsewhere)

Hotmale Club and Bar

Ok, Ok, this is a GoGo bar instead of a ‘normal’ bar or club; however, being young and also having never been into one before, I decided to go in.

If you’re feeling confident, though, go for it. Should everyone venture into this establishment? I would discourage you from getting in a taxi car in Bangkok because the city is almost constantly gridlocked in the day. The temple gets lit at night so offers some great photo opportunities for your Instagram story!

Open daily: 08.00 – 18.00 hrs.

This includes security lockers, a swimming pool, a huge social space, a cafe and a bar.

When to Go

When is a great time to go you ask? Also, even if it’s not usually your scene, try to see at least one Bangkok drag show, they are something special. It primarily caters to the bear crowd (hunky gay men), but don't worry, you don't have to be one to enjoy a night out here.

It’s right next to the Grand Palace, so easy to find.

So those are my 3 must-dos while in Bangkok, if you’re only stopping for a few days you have enough time to enjoy them. 24 people sounds like a lot, but the rooms are designed to be quiet. The bar is to start your night off strong and the swimming pool to nurse your hangover before you do it all over again later that night!

Prices from £11.21* per night
