My friend Awesome Angie came to visit me on the road and treated me to a nice hotel for a few nights in Bangkok.
This glittering boutique guesthouse was sleek, shiny and chic — the kind of place that made me feel guilty about sullying the floors with my mud-crusted, duct-taped flip-flops.
The funniest thing about the hotel, though, was that they have a separate page on their website for “female travelers.”
I do love that they actually recognized the fact that female travelers exist, because many places don’t. But the features they choose to highlight are ridiculously stereotypical things like vanity mirrors.
The site points out that “the below will be of special interest to the female traveler, single, with partner or family.”
Essentials for the Female Traveler
- Room Service
- Storage Space
- Bathrobe and Bathroom Slippers
- Separate rain shower and handheld shower
- Bathtub with handheld shower
- Vanity counter with large wall mirror
- Magnifying mirror
- Hair dryer
- Extra hangers in the wardrobe
- Iron & ironing board
Extra hangers, yo! This is too good to be true.
Clearly, women be shoppin’! Women be bathin’! Women be keepin’ their clothes pressed and wrinkle free!
Personally, I would have been more interested in the speed of the hotel’s wireless network or their proximity to public transportation. Though I was pretty psyched about the bathrobe.
