Babylon gay hotel bangkok

Bangkok’s famous gay sauna Babylon offers a range of rooms with shared bathrooms and shower area. "Barrack" rooms are located in a low-rise tower block directly above the sauna. Suites with private facilities are also available.

There are numerous dining options available at the hotel. You can possess an al fresco cocktail at The Courtyard Bar and also order drinks by the pool. The Tootsie Terrace serves cocktails hours a day, so you need never be without a drink in your hand.

Guests have access to the sauna and gym, which makes it handy for those who verb they need to stay nearby to the action. The Babylon is about 15 minutes by taxi (depending on traffic) from the gay scene in Silom.

While crossing each intersection along Sathon Tai Road, I felt as though I was being engulfed by cars and motorbikes and blinded by their headlines as they swerved around me.

I was walking to The Babylon Bangkok hotel in Sathon but I didn’t realize that the small street that I’d started on would turn into a nine-lane motorway. It was the sort of surprise chaos that seemed so synonymous with this city.

My new Australian friend Steven, who I’d met at Balcony Pub, invited me as his guest. He was staying at The Babylon for a week, and mentioned that there was a spa and sauna there too. He made the place sound more like a social club with its swimming pool, restaurant and the gym — the main reason he invited me.

I turned onto Suan Phlu Road and across to Suan Phlu 8 alley. After getting used to the bustle of Bangkok, this new quiet threw me off.

I ended up at a gate with some guards and explained that I was going to Babylon. I was expecting some trouble since it was a gay venue but one of them smiled instead and pointed the way.
