A hotel in Bangkok on Thursday apologized to a transvestite who had started a boycott of the international chain it belongs to after she was barred entry to one of its nightclubs.

"We made a mistake and currently are taking measures to make sure it will not be repeated," Gerald Hougardy, manager of the 429-room Novotel Siam Square said to Sutthirat Simsiriwong at a press conference.
