  Comments from Utopians:

  "LOVE staying at regular hotels with gay cruising at the pools. Have picked up guys in hotel saunas/steam rooms at Davis Hotel and Amari Watergate." -- hairybear, May 1, 2008

  "I live in BBB Inn each time I come to Bangkok. The room is small, the water is slow, and normally there is no hot water during night time when you want to take shower. No breakfast, but they charge B$1200 for one day. It's quite expensive for such a room. What's nice about this hotel is the staff are very friendly. Furthermore it's near to Duangthawee Plaza where many of the major bars are located. Within a minutes walk." -- williamhoo81, Apr 15, 2008

  "Check out the Rose Hotel on Suriwong Rd. Newly renovated and beautiful, with a big swimming-pool." -- otto3352, Feb 1, 2008
