Togayther Hostel Silom

[emiel1981]

I came across this video:

This new (?) gay hostel in Bangkok seems te be next door to 1/0 sauna (see linked posts below) and of the same owner.

A hostel isn't my preferred type of accommodation. I like privacy and a bit of luxury. I see a hostel more as a budget option for backpackers. Young people. And I haven't considered myself young for a while now, and I dare say that applies to 99% of the forum members here.

But the video does make me curious. After all, they also have private rooms besides the dorms. But what I'm especially curious about is the green/red slider on the room doors. You can use it to indicate that you don't want to be disturbed/are sleeping (red) or that others are allowed in because you're up for "fun" (green). And on a mirror in the building, you can leave messages and see which rooms are looking for or offering what... "room 304: greedy bottom." A very cruisy hostel...

The private rooms are small and basic, but they look new and clean. And where can you find a private room in the heart of Silom for around 25 euros a night?

Someone who wants to give it a go? Looking forward to trip reports.

The hostel can be booked on Trip.com: https://www.trip.com/hotels/bangkok-hotel-detail-48646212/togayther-hostel-bangkok/

And... Free 1/0 Sauna Admission for All Togayther Hostel Guests! (not sure if that will be for a long time, they advertise this now as a summer promo)

As far as I can tell, the sauna and hostel aren't next to each other, but a short 4 minute walk. I do also believe that the sauna has opened up some accomodation on the upper floors, if I recall correctly. Hostels and saunas aren't really my thing either, but it sounds kinda fun. Maybe one day.

Immediately thought of this, for those old enough to remember:-

I had heard of this place and was curious. I then saw hotel prices over the NYE period so figured its the perfect time to try it out, so I've booked a few nights in the dorm over New Years. Could be fun.

I stayed at a hostel in Tokyo that was similar. When I checked in the manager asked if I was gay, when I answered yes he said, I thought so, you'll enjoy the third floor:) Open showers and understanding the place is cruisy makes people pretty adventurous. 

I'll be sure to report back.

Emiel,

Since 99% here r not young, and 99% of hostel dwellers r probably young, if someone here goes there - he'll face problems...
