With the economy going down the drain, any man... a cheap man that is, can still enjoy a holiday in any of Bangkok's red light districts. First off you have to know when to go, where to stay, drink and most importantly find company.
The best time to go and save money for hotels in Bangkok is from late March to late October, which is the low season. Even though it will be hot and rainy during those months you're going to be indoors most of the time. Hotels in Bangkok during low season slash their rates by up to 40% to 50%. Some hotels are even desperate enough to discount their rooms up to 60% for walk in guest.
When you choose a hotel however make sure you book one that won't charge you a fee for taking a companion back to your room for an overnight stay. This fee is called a joiner fee and a hotel that doesn't charge this fee is deemed guest friendly. Hotels that charge joiner fees usually ask for B1,000 so it's in your best interest to stay at a guest friendly hotel.
Now there are short time hotels with rooms to rent for B300 an hour. But if you're staying in a perfectly fine guest friendly hotel near the sex districts there's no reason why you should be paying an extra B300. We can use that B300 for better things right?
There are plenty of budget guest friendly hotels in Bangkok, particularly close to any of the 3 sex districts in Bangkok.
In Patpong sex district you can choose to stay at the Wall Street Inn Hotel. Their room rates start from B1,000 and usually includes a breakfast. It is opposite a popular gay nightlife street and just a 5 minute walk to the neon lights and boom of club beats of Patpong's go go bars. You can even find a lively night market there as well.
The next 2 sex districts, Nana and Soi Cowboy are very close to each other and you can use the Sky Train nearby to get to Patpong easily. A fare only cost B25.
Nana and Soi Cowboy has the most guest friendly hotels and many of them are expensive. There are a few budget ones such as the Woraburi Sukhumvit Hotel and Resort and Swiss Park Hotel. Both charge about B900 to B1200 and includes breakfast. Even better both are very near Nana hotels parking lot, a popular spot where Thai freelance girls and sometimes lady boys stand around. The Nana Hotel cost about B1,400 a night and still worth the price.
I know most guys want to pay a visit to go go bars but for a cheap man you'll be paying a lot. Beers and liquor are quite expensive in go go bars these days. A locally brewed Heineken will cost you B120. My suggestion is to go to 7 Eleven store where you can find a liter of cold Heineken for B45, sit outside and oogle at the many beautiful ladies around Nana and Sukhumvit. It's free to oogle after all.
Also remember in a go go bar you have to pay a B500 bar fine to take a lady out. For lady boys a bar fine is B600. But there's still a way for you to meet go go bar girls and not pay a bar fine.
Nana Entertainment Plaza is a go go bar haven, located right across from the Nana Hotel. Every night around 1am to 2am the girls working inside will stream out into the Nana Hotel's parking lot, which is just right across the street. They do so to make extra money. Since they're outside of the bar you won't have to pay a bar fine!
Now freelance ladies and lady boys usually ask for B1,500 for short time (1 hour) and B3,000 to B4,000 for long time (overnight). Obviously you don't want to pay that much. So for instance if you find a lady you like and she's standing firm on B1,500 for short time, but you only want to pay B1,000. I suggest you tell her if she can't find a customer she can always come back to your offer of B,1000. It may not work all the time but your patience will reward you with a B500 savings.

Nana Entertainment Plaza (NEP) is a red light district located on Sukhumvit Soi 4. It is an area filled with international shops, restaurants, posh condos and first class business hotels. Which is one of the reasons why many foreign expats and tourist choose to stay and visit there.
The entrance to NEP is directly across from the Nana Hotel and you simply cannot miss the neon sign with the bright green letters above the entrance. And the crowd of men and the army of freelance prostitutes make NEP easy to locate. NEP is essentially a square building with 3 floors and an open courtyard in the center filled with go go bars, beer bars and pool tables.
On the ground floor you'll find popular beer bars such as Big Dogs and Lucky Luke's right at the entrance. Both of those beer bars are great for sitting around and having a beer with some great company from all over the world. In the courtyard is where you'll find a few more beer bars, pool tables and many go go bars. Currently the most popular go go bars on the ground floor are Rainbows 1, Rainbows 2 and Play School. You'll find hundreds of go go dancers shuffling their feet to hip hop beats and trance. There is one go go bar that only has lady boys working inside and it's called Obsessions, and it's quite popular for men interested in that lifestyle.
Then on the second floor you'll find only go go bars and just like downstairs on the ground floor you'll get mobbed by ladies trying their best to entice you to go inside their go go bar. The more popular go go bars on the second floor are Rainbow 4 and Angel Witch. Angel Witch has started to become quite popular over the years because of their beautiful show girls. There are two lady boy go go bars on the second floor as well and you can't miss them. There are usually a few standing around by the doors of Temptations and Casanova.
Finally on the third floor you'll find the largest go go bars called Hollywood 2, Hollywood Carousel and Carnival. All of those go go bars have some shows starting around 11pm and draw quite a crowd so it gets quite packed. Carnival is the only go go bar with a mechanical bull and anyone can get on and give it a go. There is also one lady boy go go bar here called Casanovas.
Most men who visit NEP are most likely going to take a Thai girl out of a go go bar. Before they can do that they must first pay what's called a bar fine which cost about 500THB. And if they want to take their companion back to their hotels they have to make sure their hotel is guest friendly. Non guest friendly hotels also charge a 500THB joiner fee, and you have to pay it in order for your companion to come into your room.
Fortunately there are many guest friendly hotels around NEP. Nana Hotel, Majestic Suites and Woraburi Sukhumvit Resort and Hotel are some just to name a few that are very close to NEP.

Where to find guest friendly hotels in Bangkok has been one of the most asked questions going around web forums. To be honest it's not that hard. And the simple answer is anywhere near one of Bangkok's 3 red light districts is where you will find the most guest friendly hotels.
Just what is a guest friendly hotel exactly? A hotel that is deemed guest friendly means that the hotel's management will not charge their customers a joiner fee for taking a guest back to their rooms. A joiner fee cost 500THB but it can be higher depending on the hotel. So if you unknowingly book a non-guest friendly hotel and plan on taking a guest back up to your room for a 7 day holiday then you're going to be paying more money unnecessarily.
As mentioned before, the best place to find guest friendly hotels is near any one of Bangkok's 3 red light districts. Many of these hotels offer great quality and excellent service, and the room rates vary from budget to 5 star luxury.
Patpong's red light district has the fewest guest friendly hotels in the immediate area. Some of the names are Tawana Ramada, Rose Hotel and the Montien Hotel. You'll find some more along the river such as the Peninsula Hotel Bangkok, which is expensive by the way.
The area where you can find the highest concentration of guest friendly hotels are in the Sukhumvit area, which coincidentally has two red light districts named Nana and Soi Cowboy. Most of the guest friendly hotels are located along the side streets of Sukhumvit road. Some of the names of guest friendly hotels in Sukhumvit are the Majestic Suites, Amari Boulevard, Grand President and Sheraton Grande.
When you're booking guest friendly hotels it is best to book the room for two guests. In most instances the rates are the same anyway. This is just an extra safety precaution as service treatment in Bangkok's hotel can vary from customer to customer. Also since guest friendly hotels are so popular you should keep several alternatives in mind just in case your first hotel choice has no rooms available.
