Best Bangkok Hotels Near Red Light District

Bangkok's infamous nightlife scenes are famous all over the world and they attract millions of visitors each year from all over the world. There's just so much to see and do that it keeps visitors coming back for more. If you're a first timer to Bangkok, the task of finding ideal hotel accommodations near Bangkok's red light districts is a daunting task especially since you don't know where to start. Don't worry, you'll find your answer here in this article.

There are three distinct red light districts in Bangkok. The first one is called Patpong. Patpong is most well known for the ping pong sex shows that go on above the go-go bars that line the streets of Patpong 1 and 2. Patpong 1 is the most crowded because that is where you can find the Night Market filled to the brim with counterfeit Rolex and even brand name jeans. You can also find both kinds of massage parlors here. What I mean by both kinds is one offers traditional massages by trained staff and the other... well let's just say that they're trained to massage their customers all over for a little extra. Even though the sex and sleaze that surrounds Patpong is obvious you still see many families on vacation shopping at the night market while gawking at bikini clad dancers.

Here are the names of just a few hotels right in the heart of Patpong:

Bally's Suite Silom Hotel
Silom Serene Boutique Hotel
Siam Heritage Boutique Hotel
Montien Hotel

The last two red light districts are located in Soi Cowboy and Nana. Both are relatively close to each other. Soi (street) Cowboy is basically a street in Bangkok, and this street is full of many popular go go bars such as Long Gun and Rawhide. Soi Cowboy is the smallest out of the three and Nana is the biggest red light district in Bangkok. The focus of nightlife in Nana is centered around Nana Entertainment Plaza which is a 4 story building full of go go bars enclosing an open bar area filled with hundreds of freelance prostitutes. These two areas are visited mostly by men so you won't see much families wandering around.

Most men who stay around Nana and Soi Cowboy most often book hotels that do not require a joiner fee. Many hotels in Bangkok require a guest to pay an extra fee for bringing back a companion to their rooms. You may have heard of other terms such as guest or girl friendly hotels. No joiner fees could be as little as 500THB up to 1500THB. So as you can this is the main reason why men rather book hotels with no joiner fees.

Gay Friendly Hotels and Accommodation - Are They Really Gay Friendly Or Just After the Pink Dollar?

     Having been running a gay hotel on Crete, Greece for the last five years, I do try to keep my finger 'on the pulse' of what is happening not only locally but worldwide, in the gay accommodation industry. During that five years various other people have come up with gay accommodation on Crete, presumably expecting to make a killing by renting apartment blocks and even going as far as building a whole gay resort, albeit only small, just for gay and lesbian travellers. Without exception they have lasted only a year, maybe two, before they close!
      Just lately I have been getting more than usual the number of alerts from 'Google Alerts' for gay hotels and travel, not only in Greece but around the world, and not for just hotels, but travel agents who are now offering gay friendly holidays. In these difficult times for business it seems that many more businesses are chasing the 'Pink Dollar', Pound, Yen, or even Euro, and advertising their services as 'gay friendly'.

      Taking a brief look at some of the new sites that have sprung up, and also many that  already existed has proved an interesting experience just lately as the same hotels appear over and over again, and almost without exception the hotels on offer are just ordinary hotels, some of whom have been thoughtful enough to put 'gay' or 'gay friendly' in their web site search terms, but in general this is probably the only place on their web site where the word 'gay' or 'lesbian' is to be seen!

      The other notable feature of virtually all of these hotels is that they are all in the upper price and luxury bracket. So it seems that if you are gay or lesbian then you will automatically be able to afford room rates that start at EUR150 per night excluding breakfast?

      Now I don't know about all of you, but while it might be nice to occasionally spend a night in a 5 star hotel with health spa, tennis courts, private golf course, your own Jacuzzi on the balcony and so on, none of which you are going to use, because you arrive at 6pm and they throw you out at 10am the following day, (you would think at that price they could afford to pay a cleaner to work until 6pm). And, I for one avoid Jacuzzis. I can never see the point of spending ages in a lukewarm bath with jets of water and bubbles bouncing ones testicles around, added to which you never know what was going on it in it yesterday, (or maybe I have been watching the wrong sort of movies), and then you get out looking like a white prune, and you still have to take a shower because you can't use soap in a Jacuzzi.

      And after all that you have just spent three weeks (or more) food money and didn't get anything to eat except the complementary chocolate on the pillow. Just because you are gay does not mean you have pots of dosh, some of us are rubbish collectors, cleaners, nurses, teachers, even guesthouse owners and we just do not have that kind of money to spend, what we need is clean comfortable accommodation at a reasonable price!

      So why do all these 'gay' web sites list this type of accommodation? I have a sneaking feeling that it is because they are the only hotels that can afford to pay the agents a reasonable commission. I get agents approach me and seem disappointed that they are only going to make 15 euros out of a one week stay and nothing at all for anything less than 3 nights, but then I am not in the business of lining another companies pockets or allowing them to ride off my back and all the hard work I have put into my business!

      And then we come to the gay friendly part. How does that fit in with the rest of the guests who always seem to be families from other parts of Europe, with three children and who spend all day by the pool while the children are in the non-English speaking crèche? Gay anonymous I call it not gay friendly. You can quite easily disappear into the throng of 2,500 straight guests staying in the same hotel and nobody really cares whether you are gay or not because they don't even know your name!

      If you really want to check if a hotel is gay friendly then ask the receptionist where the nearest nudist beach is located. This is usually one of the first questions I get asked before guests even make the booking, that and the distance to the nearest gay club.

I tried this at one of my local 5 star hotels where I had the pleasure of staying at someone else's expense for two nights. The girl on the desk looked rather bemused, dealt with some other guests in various languages, very fluently, none of them English, and talked to a member of the service staff in what sounded Spanish, before coming back to me and announcing that nude sunbathing was not allowed.

      Obviously as she was a mine of non-information and as I was in a daring mood I asked her if there were any gay bars close by. This confused her even more so I expanded on the theme and asked about bars for homosexuals. This struck a chord because she turned to colleague and asked him, and then came back with the reply that there were no homosexuals in this area!

       So for EUR250 per night I got a quite nice room, comfortably furnished, clean, with a nice little terrace outside where I could hold a conversation with the guests in the next apartment, 2 tea bags and 2 little sachets of coffee, 2 biscuits in foil wrapper, and 2 of those little plastic pots of milk, yes, you know the ones. The ones where the foil top suddenly gives way and you splash most of the contents over the carpet and yourself. Not forgetting the quite classy but very small soap and things in the bathroom.

      So where does the gay friendly come in? Seems to me like it doesn't!

 You want a gay hotel then look for the web site that says 'gay' or 'lesbian' in black and white on the home page. Look for the place where they can tell you where the nearest nudist beach is, where the nearest gay bar is, and if they don't know they should!
