Thank you. The Sofitel So is apparently very gay friendly reading TripAdvisor reviews although it does get rather mixed reports. Apparently it has seen better days.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs have had similar warnings about Thailand for as long as I have been travelling there. It’s one of the most popular travel destinations for Australians. I agree the warnings are overkill.
On my last trip to Bangkok I paid a visit to the Hyatt to check out the pool and gym. I went to the toilet and noticed a few guys hanging around the shower and steam area which I interpreted as cruising.
Is this in comparatively recent times? I read a TripAdvisor report that the had installed cctv camera in the change area to prevent what the contributor suspects was to limit “gay frolicking”.
