Pattaya is a city with multiple personalities. For some it is a place to learn about Thai culture, for many it is a shopping paradise, for families it offers a wealth of activities everyone can enjoy and for a million single men it is a nightclub and a place to meet new people. Some. of the most beautiful women in Thailand.

You can meet Thai girls in bars, go-go bars, on the beach, or anywhere in this friendly city. The question that guys often ask is where can I find a friendly hotel for guests? If I want to invite my new friend to my hotel, does the hotel accept an extra guest, is it “girl friendly” or will I be charged an “entry fee”?

5 star hotels

While many people think of Pattaya as Asia’s most vibrant nightlife hub, this is only part of the tourist activities in Pattaya. Judging from hotel bookings, most of the hotel’s revenue comes from older couples and families. Hotels direct their business to one or more of these tour groups, so you will find that 5-star hotels and family-oriented hotels, like larger hotels, are generally not guest-friendly. There is one notable exception, Pattaya’s highest-rated hotel, the Rabbit Resort on Dongtan Beach offers hospitality to all visitors, including your friends.

Hotels in Pedestrian Street

If you’re looking for a guest-friendly hotel, you’ll find that virtually all hotels, guesthouses, and apartments near nightlife areas are guest-friendly. In the Walking Street area you will find a good selection of popular and highly rated hotels.

On Soi Diamond, the street with more than a dozen go-go bars, are the Diamond Beach Hotel, Galaxy Suites, and Green View Serviced Apartments. Close by, on Soi 14, is the Grand Hotel, with 80 rooms in a variety of styles, and the recently renovated 62-room Jasmine Hotel with a new indoor pool, one of the highest rated Pattaya hotels on Trip Advisor. On Walking Street, Walking Street Guesthouse is located just above Sweethearts Go-Go and P.72 Hotel, with the bar at street level opening onto Walking Street. A great place to sit and watch the activities on Walking Street before heading out for the night.

Hotels in Soi Buakhao Area

The Soi Buakhao area is another popular nightclub area. Here you will find an interesting mix of hotels for guests and guest houses for visitors and apartments for Thais working in nightclubs and bars.

On Soi Buakhao, you’ll find Katesiree House, Laguna Buakhao House with Thai-style furnishings, Target Regency Guesthouse, and Rabbi’s Elephant Guesthouse, which is also a meeting place for the Pattaya Golf Society.

Just off Soi Buakhao on Soi LK Metro, mixed with the go-go bars, coyote bars, and breweries, you’ll find plenty of guest-friendly hotels and guesthouses. If you like hanging out with aliens, you’ll love Armageddon Guesthouse and Bar, and there’s also the Irish Rovers Guesthouse and the Kilkenny Hotel with an Irish twist. Nearby you will find the popular Stags Head Guesthouse, and on the corner of the road is Pasadena Lodge with a choice of 20 beautifully furnished rooms, in 4 different room styles.

Directly across the street is Soi Chaiyapoon, famous for the Crazy Daves Cafe serving 24-hour breakfast and Neeroys late-night restaurant offering fish ‘n chips and English-style curries. There are no friendlier guest houses than Canterbury Tales Café, which has a bookshop and restaurant on the ground floor. A little further down the road, near the popular Maggie May bar, is Chaiyapoon Inn & Restaurant.
