There is only one guest friendly budget hotel within a 5 minute walk to Patpong and its called Bally’s Studio Suites Silom. This hotel is relatively new and the rooms are decent in size. It’s also close to the BTS Sky train so you’ll be able to get to the other sex districts easily.
Nana sex district has the most guest friendly Bangkok hotels because you can find a wide selection of nightlife venues in this area. There are hundreds of beer bars, dozens of popular nightclubs and the best thing of all is Nana Plaza is located right across the Nana hotel. Nana Plaza is a small building, just 3 floors but the place is packed full of go go bars and a dazzling display of bikini clad ladies. Some of the popular budget guest friendly hotels in this area is the Woraburi Sukhumvit, Swiss Park, Nana Hotel and Salil Hotel. And they’re all within walking distance to Nana Plaza.
Soi Cowboy is the smallest sex district, comprised of a Soi just 400 meters long packed full of go go bars as far as the eye can see. This area is practically a business district so there are many upper range business hotels. Luckily Nana isn’t too far, matter of fact it’s only a 10 to 15 minute walk and less by car or tuk tuk. There are a few noteworthy guest friendly hotels with decent rates such as Sacha’s Hotel Uno, Livingstone’s Lodge and Admiral Suites.
