If you’re deciding on where to stay right in all the excitement of Bangkok’s infamous nightlife districts then it’s best to choose a guest friendly hotel in the Sukhumvit district. Specifically from Sukhumvit road Soi 1 through Soi 23.
The reason is Nana red light district is located right on Soi 4 and Soi Cowboy red light district ends on Soi 23.
Soi Cowboy is a neon light filled street with many of Bangkok’s most well-known go go bars like Long Gun and Rawhide. Nana is most famous for a building with 3 floors of go go bars surrounding an open bar area called Nana Entertainment Plaza.
Both areas are very popular tourist centric attractions with all types of tourists visiting from around the world.
So if you’re visiting Soi Cowboy and Nana then most likely you’re looking to stay in a “Guest Friendly” hotel. It’s a term for hotels in Bangkok that do not charge their guest a joiner fee for bringing a companion back to their rooms.
Non guest friendly hotels normally charge a fee of 500THB and up to 1500THB if you wish to invite an unregistered companion to your hotel room. And that’s a hefty fee.
A majority of Bangkok’s hotels with no joiner fees are concentrated around Sukhumvit district. You can easily find a comfortable budget hotel that cost around 1000THB. Maxim’s Inn on Soi 7/1 is one example of a very good basic budget hotel with no joiner fee. It’s close to the Nana BTS station and right in the middle of Nana and Soi Cowboy.
Though I recommend finding a guest friendly hotels in Sukhumvit that cost around 1500THB because hotels in that price are very good quality and are typically in the 2 to 3 star range. Boss Suites and Heaven@4 are located right on Soi 4 cost around 1500THB and really popular with guests who love to visit Nana Entertainment Plaza because it’s close.
Over by Soi Cowboy are two 4 to 5 star hotels with very affordable room rates. The Grande Centre Point Sukhumvit and Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit are new luxury hotels that cost around 3500THB per night.
And all 5 of the recommended guest friendly hotels mentioned here are really popular with frequent visitors to Bangkok’s nightlife. Which means it’s best to book a room in advance if you find a really good deal since discounts for hotels can be found frequently.
Bangkok’s Sukhumvit district is the best are to stay for partying. It’s where most of the best clubs, bars and red light districts are located. So choosing a hotel there will put you right in the heart of all the action.
