Gay Chiang Mai • Budget Hotels + Guesthouses

Guest rooms are en suite and nonsmoking, each with a flat screen TV, free WiFi, minibar and private patio with excellent river view. There is a café bar and 24-hour front desk. Club One Seven also offers fully equipped modern suite at the nearby Astra Suite building.

The popular Club One Seven gay sauna has a well-equipped gym, swimming pool with sun terrace, sauna facilities, private cabins and the largest herbal steam room in northern Thailand – open to non-residents, 7 days a week.

Each room features unique, colourful décor, king-sized bed, flat screen satellite TV, air conditioning and free WiFi. The hotel’s lobby has a kitchen with refrigerator and microwave.

Rather conveniently, Qi 68 is just a short walk from the House of Male gay sauna.

Guests can expect to experience the warm Thai hospitality and traditions at Baan Khun Krup (which means “This Is Your Home”). Breakfast is included with the very affordable rates.

Baan Khun Krub’s central location makes it easy to visit the historic temples, close to the Sunday Walking Street Market and with 10 minutes by taxi to the gay bars at Night Bazaar.

Guest rooms are uniquely decorated and appointed with cable TV, air conditioning, mini fridge and free WiFi. Friendly staff at the 24-hour reception can arrange tours, car/bike rentals, etc.

The location is great – a short taxi ride to the Old Town and within walking distance of the gay bars in Changpuak area. Adam’s Apple Club is just across the street.

Each bright, air conditioned guest room features an en suite bathroom, floor-to-ceiling windows, satellite TV, free WiFi. The hotel has a nice pool with sun loungers, two restaurants and a bar.

Massage service is offered at the hotel, though we think you may be more tempted to visit the gay massage spas in the area.

Facilities include an outdoor pool, tropical gardens, spa and restaurant. Free shuttle service from the airport is provided, and sightseeing arrangements can be made at the tour desk.

This great-value hotel is also within 10-15 minutes away from many of the best gay venues – House of Male gay sauna and Sanctuary Spa – to name a few.

Choose a room that reflects your deeper animal instinct. For the well-endowed, we recommend the Horse room, and for those feeling particularly virile – the Rabbit. For solo travellers, the Rat room may be a good choice.

An excellent budget hotel in this part of town.

Many local restaurants are nearby. Or you can walk for about 10-15 minutes to the Night Market and Night Bazaar as well as Secrets Bar, Ram Bar and other gay-popular nightlife options.

The SILA offers 10 comfortable rooms with free WiFi, flat screen TV, air conditioning, fridge, en suite bathroom and balcony. Breakfast is served at the café where you can also enjoy drinks and light snacks.

Major tourist sights and gay venues can reached easily by tuk-tuk. For a good massage, we recommend Sanctuary Spa (a 10-minute walk away).
