By Edwin M Clark

Bangkok's nightlife has welcomed millions of visitors every year with open arms. It's interesting mix of dance clubs, jazz clubs, pubs and of course the infamous sex districts has attracted hard core party addicts from all corners of the world. Whatever you're into, Bangkok's nightlife has it all and more.

To experience the full breath of Bangkok's nightlife it's best to book a hotel in the center of Bangkok, in areas such as the district of Patpong and along Sukhumvit road. The advantages of staying in a hotel around those areas is it's easy for tourist to travel and get around. Plus those are the areas where most international shops and businesses are available and familiar to tourist. Another top reason is because of the easy transportation offered by the BTS Sky Train.

This is a very efficient elevated train system that runs above the streets of Patpong and Sukhumvit. Since Bangkok's traffic is horrendous especially around the nightlife areas it's best to take full advantage of the BTS Sky Train.

Most people have already heard of Patpong already, infamously known for the seedy sex shows and the equally seedy touts who try to lure tourist in. It's also where dozens of go go bars are lined with even more touts promoting cheap booze and sex. But in and between these dens of flesh are popular dance clubs such as Lucifer.

There are several English pubs in the area too with refreshing micro brewed beer and traditional English fare such as Shepherd's Pie and Bangers & Mash. There are also live talented bands playing a mix of rock and jazz to tap your toes while downing your beer.

Some of the popular hotels in the vicinity of Patpong's nightlife area are Montien Hotel, Siam Heritage Boutique Hotel and Swiss Lodge. All of these hotels are top rated so they are very popular.

Another well known Bangkok nightlife district runs along a major road called Sukhumvit. Sukhumvit has a large concentration of upscale clubs to small beer bars that are all equally packed nightly.

The names of some popular upscale clubs are Q Bar and Bed Supper Club. Sukhumvit road also runs through two red light districts called Nana and Soi Cowboy. Both are extremely popular with male tourist who have a habit of visiting go go bars. There are literally hundreds of small open air bars or beer gardens where hundreds of freelance Thai prostitutes hang around as well.

There are many Bangkok nightlife activities in this area and it's a wise decision to stay in a hotel around Sukhumvit road. Some names of popular hotel choices are Majestic Grande, Dawin Bangkok Hotel and Ambassador Hotel. The BTS Sky Train also runs above Sukhumvit road and are all within easy walking distance from the hotels mentioned here.

Bangkok Hotels Near Red Light Districts - A Travel Guide For First Timers By James P. Hunt

Bangkok Hotels Near Red Light Districts - A Travel Guide For First Timers
By James P. Hunt

Finding a hotel in Bangkok for the first time can be quite confusing. After all there are so many hotels in Bangkok to choose. But if you know you want to stay in or near Bangkok's hottest red light districts then you're halfway there as I'll help you decide which hotels to stay in.

There are three red light districts located in central Bangkok. All are easily accessible by the many modes of transportation in Bangkok. And the hotels in Bangkok range from the no frills budget accommodations to luxury properties with classy service.

The first red light district is called Patpong. Like the rest of the nightlife action in Bangkok, Patpong starts and heats up after 7pm, especially when the night market opens up. Patpong is filled with go-go bars and clubs of various sorts. The volume of venues here is quite vast as businesses cater to mostly male customers either straight, gay or both. The most notable go-go bar names are King's Castle and Queen's Castle group located in Patpong one. And if you're looking for some bizarre amusement then check out the ping pong sex shows the area is so famous for. Just make sure you know what you'll be paying for.

Here are the names of a few hotels in Patpong worth staying in:

  • The Montien Hotel
  • Siam Heritage Boutique Hotel
  • Bally's Suite Silom Hotel

The next red light districts are located close to each other and they're called Soi Cowboy and Nana. Soi Cowboy is the smallest out of the three but it has the most well known go-go bars in Bangkok. I'm talking about Long Gun and Rawhide, two very big time go-go bars. Even though Soi Cowboy is small it still packs quite a huge entertainment value.

Nana is the final red light district and the biggest attraction because there are so many things to do around there. Most start off with Nana Entertainment Plaza. NEP is a small four story building stacked with go-go bars upon more go-go bars. You can't miss NEP especially at night when its filled with so many tourist from all over the world. The area surrounding Nana has a wide selection of places to eat and drink from many international choices. You'll find lots of open beer gardens too and bars to hang out and just people watch.

Here are the names of a few popular hotels to stay near Soi Cowboy and Nana:

  • Grand President Hotel
  • Ambassador Hotel
  • Nana Hotel

Most hotels located near the red light districts of Soi Cowboy and Nana are guest friendly. This means that the hotel does not charge an extra fee or a joiner fee for taking a companion back to the hotel rooms. Joiner fees can range from 500THB up to 1500THB. So as you can see guest friendly hotels in Bangkok are very popular and should be booked in advance.
