Bangkok’s infamous go go bars has been the main attraction for single male travellers after the Vietnam era ended. Today the popularity is increasing and to take full advantage of Bangkok’s nightlife it’s best to stay at a hotel that is bar girl friendly. Bar girl friendly hotels in Bangkok won’t charge their guest a joiner fee for taking a bar girl back to their rooms. A joiner fee is usually about 500 Baht in Bangkok and can really add up if you’re planning to take a bar girl back to your room every night in a non-bar girl friendly hotel. The great news is that there are many bar girl friendly hotels in Bangkok and the majority of them are located in the red light district of Nana, Soi Cowboy and Patpong. There are many to choose and you’ll find some popular hotel names here. Nana is the largest red light district in Bangkok.

But they are some of the best around and the names are; Bally’s Studio Suites Silom, Tawana Hotel and the Montien Hotel. Don’t worry if you think you don’t have enough time to get to all 3 of these popular red light districts. Nana and Soi Cowboy are really close together, about a 10 to 15 minute walk from each other.
