This Week's Best Bar Girl Friendly Bangkok Hotel Specials

This week there are 7 hotels I recommend that are guest friendly in Bangkok. The first 4 are right between Nana and Soi Cowboy, so right in Sukhumvit district. Most of the best deals I found for this week are for high end hotels.

For example the 5 star JW Marriott on Sukhumvit soi 2 currently has a 20% discount. I made a review on the JW on my last post here and saw an uptick on bookings. I really had no idea it was such a popular hotel because all this time I've been recommending Thai run hotels which are not as expensive even though the quality of Thai operated hotels are very good. I wouldn't be surprised that if it might had something to do with the fact that the JW Marriott has no problems with guests bringing 2 ladies to their rooms at the same time...

There are 2 hotels I recommend in the Huay Kwang district and close to a lot of soapy massage parlors. If you're not familiar with Huay Kwang it's a good place to stay in Bangkok. It's not crowded and packed like most places in Sukhumvit. And there are MRT subway stations in Huay Kwang and near the hotels I recommend so there's no problem at all if you want to get to Soi Cowboy, Nana and even Patpong red light district quickly.

Finally 1 hotel I recommend is closer to Patpong and because there's such a big discount it deserves a worthy mention.

Hotel Deals in Sukhumvit District


Deluxe room at JW Marriott
JW Marriott Bangkok as I mentioned before has a 20% discount. Nana Plaza's go go bars are not far off, less than a 3 minute walk.

Lots of hookers on soi 4 so there's plenty of nightlife options to keep you busy.

With the discount and taxes included the cost for a deluxe room is about 5500THB ($179USD). And that's a really good price for a 5 star Western affiliated hotel chain. Not exactly sure when this special is over.

Standard room at City Lodge 9
City Lodge 9 is centered between Nana and Soi Cowboy on Sukhumvit soi 9. The hotel is in decent shape but it's managed by a top hotel chain called the Amari Group.

But I know a lot of guys who like to stay there because the location is so good. You're never too far off from a oil massage parlor or a place to get a beer and pick up Thai hookers. And the Nana BTS station is just a short distance away.

Right now a 24 square meter standard room including breakfast cost 1100THB ($36USD) with taxes. This discount is valid until October, 31 2012.

The Manhattan Hotel on Sukuhumvit soi 15 is also in a good location too. It's closer to Soi Cowboy and a there are Thai prostitutes lingering right on Sukhumvit road. But one of the best pick up joints is around the corner in the basement bar of the Ruamchitt Hotel called Thermae.

This is a decent hotel but since it is a very popular budget hotel in the area it has seen a lot of wear and tear. But it is a big property and properly maintained and the location is what really draws guests.

Right now there is a discount for a standard room and cost about 1450THB ($48USD) with taxes. This special ends on October, 31 2012.

For guys who stay in Bangkok weeks at a time here's a very good special I recommend for President Park Hotel on Sukhumvit soi 24.

There's a stay 7 nights get 30% off per night discount. Anyone familiar with the President Park knows that is a fantastic deal because it's a 4 star hotel.

The rate applies to a standard room which is 36 square meters. And the hotel has a nice swimming pool and a decent fitness center. So with the discounts a room comes out to about 1800THB ($59USD) per night which also includes breakfast.

This deal will last quite awhile so need to rush a reservation.


Hotel Discounts near Huay Kwang Soapy Massage Parlors


The Emeral Hotel in Huay Kwang
The Emerald Hotel is a big 4 star property sitting near a cluster of soapy massage parlors. Emmanuelles, Nataree and Caesars just to name a handful are really close to the Emerald.

The Huay Kwang MRT subway station is a 5 minute walk past the mentioned soapie parlors so you can get to Sukhumvit quickly in about 15 minutes.

With a 20% discount and taxes you can stay in a superior room for about 1900THB ($62USD)

Other than the soapies near the hotel there really isn't much else. Though I have seen quite a few prostitutes standing outside the massage establishments.

Hip Hotel - Highly Recommended!
A little further down from the Emerald is the Hip Hotel. I've made review here just a short while ago and it's still by far one of the best budget hotels in Huay Kwang.

And with the current special rate going on for the hotel I highly recommend staying there because it's such a good value.

For 1500THB ($50USD) you get a 35 square meter room called the Cool Studio with taxes and breakfast included. Though there is no pool or gym and Wi-Fi is not free which really sucks. But either way, if you want a very clean and affordable hotel near soapy massages then the Hip Hotel is tops in my book.

An Excellent Hotel with Big Discounts near Patpong Red Light District


Bedroom at Lebua's Superior Suite
A hotel featured in the movie Hangover 2 called the Lebua at State Tower has a big 50% off discount with breakfast included.

Now I've always recommend staying in a hotel near Nana or Soi Cowboy. But ever so often there are deals for hotels in Bangkok with a guest friendly reputation too good to pass up.

The Lebua is about a 20 minute walk to Patpong's go go bars. I would just take a taxi to Patpong or even to Soi Cowboy and Nana. Wouldn't cost a lot of money especially if you can afford to stay at this hotel.

Right now the 50% off discount applies to their 66 square meter Superior Suite room types which cost about 4500THB ($147USD) per night with taxes and breakfast included. And the Lebua is a 5 star hotel which is why those rates are such a steal. The only catch is this deal is over at the end of this month.

JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok Review

Located on corner of Sukhumvit soi 2
JW Marriott Bangkok is a popular 5 star bar girl friendly hotel on Sukhumvit road. It's located on soi 2 so it's right around the corner from Nana Entertainment Plaza and plenty of Thai hookers on soi 4.

When you approach Thai bar girls and freelancers I would refrain from telling them that you're a guest at the JW Marriott. Why? Because in Bangkok, a room at the JW is 'paeng mak' or not cheap by Thai standards. And the ladies know that.

Working girls know that Marriotts are an upscale hotel name with upscale rates. So you can bet your house they'll ask for a lot of money for both short time and long time rates.

What they don't know is that Marriott hotels in Thailand are a real bargain compared to other Marriott properties outside of most parts of Southeast Asia.

For example the JW Marriott Bangkok's deluxe rooms cost a little over 6000THB ($200USD).  A deluxe room at a similar property in NYC cost double. And believe me, the quality of the rooms at the JW in Sukhumvit is in better condition.

Even though I believe it's not necessary to spend so much money to get a nice hotel room in Thailand I can understand that for a lot of travelers, 6000THB to lap in the luxury of a 5 star hotel is doable.
 
Though you can get comparable class and services by staying at a 4 star guest friendly hotels in the same area. Prime examples are the Phachara Suites on soi 6 or Majestic Grande which is also on soi 2.

JW Marriott Bangkok Hotel near Nana red light district
 
Most people I know who stay at Marriotts are guys who simply prefer an American operated hotel. As good as the hotel is, in my opinion you can get similar quality without spending that much cash. That said it's not a bad hotel and a deluxe room is 33 sq. m. so the room size is quite good especially since the JW allows you to invite up to 2 ladies for an overnight romp. That's right, as a guest of the JW Marriott Bangkok there are no joiner fee even if you wish to invite 2 Thai girls to a room. There are reports of guys bringing back 3 girls and yet again, no fee.

Though keep in mind the hotel has strict security so there are metal detectors by the hotel's entrances. So it might be a sight to see a guy with a few heavily tattooed bar girls parading through the metal detectors.

As of writing a deluxe room at the JW cost around 5500THB ($179USD) with taxes and a special early bird rate included. For that price you can of course expect a nice pool and fitness center to use. The in room amenities are tops but most importantly internet access is free through Wi-Fi connection.

Deluxe rooms at JW Marriott are 33 square meters
If you're always in the mood for great steaks like I am which is a bit hard to find in Bangkok then head to the hotels New York Steakhouse. Yeah, it's pricey but a nice treat when your inner carnivore is screaming like a ladyboy in heat. And their Bangkok Baking Company is not too shabby too for sweet treats and carbs.

The JW Marriott is a great hotel with a bar girl friendly policy in a prime location for enjoying Nana red light district. Nana Plaza is less than a 3 minute walk and Soi Cowboy is about a 15 minute walk east on Sukhumvit road. Annies Soapy Massage is around the corner and of course Nana is basically the grand central of street hooker activity in Bangkok.
