Bangkok's red light districts is one of the main attractions that has tempted men from all over the world. Meeting Thai woman in a go go bar or a freelance bar is a common nightly event. And taking a lady back to a hotel room is well... business as usual. But what most first time travellers to Bangkok don't know is they should book a guest friendly hotel if they plan on taking a lady back to their room.
Non guest friendly hotels will charge you what's called a joiner fee, which is usually 500THB. Guest friendly hotels allow you to bring 1 lady back to your room. Now I know some men just want to go crazy and invite 2 or more ladies but even guest friendly hotels will have to say enough is enough. So you may have to pay extra.
However, there is another option if you're the adventurous type and plan on taking in 2 or more ladies. You can book a serviced apartment instead. Service apartments are basically hotels. You'll get the same service such as housekeeping, security and even free buffet breakfast. And since the room is technically an apartment you're free to bring in as many guest as you'd like.
But I know most men just invite one lady back to their rooms and all girl friendly hotels don't have a problem with that at all.
Guest friendly hotels and serviced apartments are easily found near the 3 major red light districts. Their names are Patpong, Nana and Soi Cowboy.
Patpong has the least amount of guest friendly hotels. Here are some names of these hotels; Tawana Ramada, Montien Hotel and Swiss Lodge. There are more of course but these are the closest ones.
Nana and Soi Cowboy has the most guest friendly hotels around them. Both of these red light districts are close to each other, connected by Sukhumvit road. And between them you'll find popular guest friendly hotels such as Ambassador Hotel, Landmark Bangkok, Amari Boulevard and Citadines Serviced Apartments are just to name a few.
Guest friendly hotels and serviced apartments in Bangkok are clean and have very good quality. Most of them are priced just right for your budget and if you're able to spend the money then there are plenty of 5 star hotels that don't have a problem at all with you bringing a lady back to your room.
A few final tips is to reserve your room for 2 guests. Even though a hotel that is deemed guest friendly, it may still give you a problem as not all hotels in Bangkok treat their customers the same. Besides, booking a room for two doesn't cost more in most instances and will prevent a situation. Also prepare yourself with several hotel alternatives because guest friendly hotels are popular and are often booked full.
