Last time I was in BKK ( April) I had no idea the bars had left opposite the Tartawan hotel 

Reader on here was the one to tell me 

So this time I'm looking for a gay friendly hotel near those bars ,is it Soi 6?

it depends which bar you have in mind but in reality as long as you staying in Silom/ Suriwong area all bars are just short walk.

Tarntawan, Nantra Silom , Quarter Silom, - if you stay in those  you don't even need to cross the street.

If you can cross the street Raya, De Arni, 56 Suriwong and Le Siam are right opposite bar areas

In the past week I have stayed in Quarter Silom and Tarntawan. Once you have your bearings, most of the bars are within very close proximity. You certainly won't need transport to get around.

I'm not being facetious here, but maybe other members of the board are assuming that olddaddy is able to walk the distances we walk. So maybe @Olddaddy can give us a better idea what his predicament is.

1.  How far can you walk (in Bangkok's temperatures) before becoming breathless, or before your knees start to hurt?

2. How many upwards steps can you do without becoming breathless or knees hurt?

Indeed, the social bars in Soi 4 face Silom Road, but the gogo bars of Patpong soi 2 are closer to Surawong Road (as are Moonlight and The One). It's hard to say which side of the Silom-Surawong block makes the bars more accessible.

Perhaps The Pavilion Place would meet your needs then you won't need to leave the soi for dining or bars.

So long as he can make it down the soi!

tell this to some guys. I once offed buy from Moonlight, and stay in Natra Silom soi 6, 5 minutes stroll away and he suggested we take a taxi. I resisted. On another hand I had Tawan boys who suggested themselves to walk to Quarter Saladaeng, quite a distance.

Walking is not a problem to a certain degree but I'm a big guy and lazy 

,I'm very fit although big belly

I'm also very lazy , especially in heat and I mean the weather heat 😂

, I am a powerlifter in competition ,although cardio is much different from strength training 

But .....I don't like trying to cross traffic and last time I got a Grab motorcycle it took ages for him in traffic all the way to the bars

it's right above GoodBoys (former Screwboys), Fresh Boys and Hot Male, in the same building complex but be warned it's quite basic and tired. If only walls could talk !

I suspect  that those walls do talk!

I still think you could consider Tarntawan or, if you have the budget, Quarter Silom, which has a pool, sauna and steam room as well as a basic gym. You don't need to cross roads to get to the bars  or Silom 4. And it's a flat walk. Both of these hotels are just far enough back from Silom and Surawong roads to escape most of the outside noise, which is important for me. Quarter Silom rates can skyrocket at the weekend. I usually book through Agoda or booking.com.

You don't need transport. Walk up Surawong and turn to the right on to Patpong or Patpong Alley 2 down to  Silom Rd. From Quarter Silom it's a very short walk to Surawong or Silom. The Silom route takes you past the 9-teen massage parlors. Google maps gives you a walking time of 5-7 minutes to the many bars in the vicinity.

I don't think Cook went to the Bahamas! Actually, these early navigators, Magellen, Vespucci, etc al were amazing when you consider the primitive vessels, and complete lack of any firm if map, or modern navigation equipment.  Even earlier, of course, the Vikings, Romans, Greeks, Phoenicians,  etc.
