I’ve never really encountered true “Hippy-Hating” in any Hotel. (perhaps that speaks to the quailty of hotels I’ve been in.) Hippy-hating is Cartmen’s (South Park) whole raison d'ĂȘtre (insert his voice here), “I HATE hippies…hippies piss me off.” The Banyam Hotel announces its disdain for yogurt weaving tree-huggering backpackers with a big sign near the foyer.

(Sign posted outside the Banyam Hotel – “No shorts/no sleeveless tops, No back packing, and no slippers/sandals.”
Being a former backbacker, I took a bit of offence. The saving grace of the hippy attack was the stupendolorific (yes that is a neologism) view of Bangkok from the Vertigo Bar – over 50 stories up. If one can set aside the $12 tag of their signature fru fru drinks, the atmosphere is awesome.
