Title: The Atlanta Hotel, Bangkok
Post by: Belfong on Tue, 24 November 2015, 04:42:34

You can't make this up:

Quote

BANGKOK'S  HISTORIC  HOTEL  &   INSTITUTION
BASTION   OF  WHOLESOME,   CULTURALLY  SENSITIVE   &   ECO-AWARE   TOURISM

SEX  TOURISTS  NOT  WELCOME

ZERO  TOLERANCE  OF
TROUBLE-MAKERS,  ALL  ILLEGAL   ACTIVITIES  INCLUDING   POSSESSION  OR  USE  OF  ILLICIT  DRUGS

FAMILIES  ARE  VERY  WELCOME  ONLY  IF  CHILDREN  ARE  KEPT  UNDER  CONTROL
THE ATLANTA IS NOT A CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND: CHILDREN MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO DISTURB OTHER GUESTS

ANIMAL  LOVERS  PARTICULARLY  WELCOME
THE ATLANTA IS A SANCTUARY FOR MANY RESCUED CATS, TERRAPINS AND ONE DOG

Read on to really appreciate the whole thing.
Their other links are hilarious as well.

I do like the Bioshock vibe though.

Funny, they are on Sukhumvit Soi 2 and they say "no sex tourism"...that's not exactly removed from all that.

I mean I do get and appreciate what they are saying, but I do wish their wording was a bit more subdued.

And this part is awesome:

The Atlanta also does not welcome undomesticated people – the sort of people who do not know how to sit on a chair or at table, who do not know how to behave, and whose appearance and manners are so disgraceful as to bring disrepute upon their own countrymen.  Their presence puts other people off.  These undomesticated people should stay home lest the Thais take one look at them and say, "Mother, father no teach", which is one of the most opprobrious reflections that can be made about a person in the Thai idiom.
