Gay Travel Guide to Bangkok

Bangkok has a reputation for being a chaotic – yet fun – place to visit, perhaps thanks to films like The Hangover 2. A night out in Bangkok is always unforgettable – or more likely unremembered – and in the (in)famous Silom district, you'll find plenty of gay bars, clubs, saunas, and spas to justify its reputation. This, along with the laidback attitude of the population, is why it is often called the gay capital of Asia. Beyond the revelry, you'll find a city that is modern while still retaining its cultural depth. Ornate temples like Wat Arun and Wat Phra Kaew sit under futuristic skyscrapers, and floating markets glide along the Chao Phraya River, oblivious to the urban throng around them. The streets themselves always hum with energy and are perpetually alive with the scent of sizzling street food. Bangkok is vibrant, raw, and unforgettable—a city that demands to be experienced, not just seen.
