UPDATED list of bargirl friendly hotels in Pattaya.
Updated March 2023
Welcome to the carefully curated list of girl and ladyboy friendly hotels in Pattaya Thailand.
Pattaya. Some people love it, some people hate it.–
It is impossible to go out in this city, particularly at night without noticing the very large population of prostitutes. In Pattaya there are an abundance of bar-girls and “freelancers” along Beach Road or any other place where tourists are likely to find them- more than willing to go back to your hotel room for a relative pittance compared to Western prices. Indeed this is one of the major attractions for a large portion of visitors to Pattaya.
However the problem is that some hotels, especially those that are targeting families, will charge a joiner fee if you bring a visitor back to your room. This can be as much as 1500 baht.
Below is a list of hotels that at the time of writing did not charge a fee for unregistered, short time guests and are deemed “guest friendly hotels“. There are plenty of girl friendly hotels near Walking Street, hotels along Beach Road as well as hotels in North Pattaya, Central Pattaya and South Pattaya. We have also updated this list to include guest friendly hotels in Jomtien.
Most hotels have a limit of 2 people per room. So if you are going to bring girls (or ladyboys) back to your room, it is best to make a reservation for one person. If you try to be crafty and book for 2, you might run into problems because the hotel might consider your unregistered guest a third person.
Generally if a hotel is bar-girl friendly, it is also ladyboy friendly.
Hotels change their policies often and can sometimes seem whimsical. When we get a report of a hotel on this list charging for short time or overnight guests will will mark it with this mark- and list it on the changes page. If we get consistent reports of charging extra, we will remove it from the list. Please proceed with caution when you see this mark.
Prices quoted were updated in March 2023 and are for stays from March-April 2023, which is just heading into the low season. Prices in the high and peak season may be higher, especially for the higher end hotels.
