The best guest friendly hotels in Chiang Mai are located close to Loi Kroh Road and almost all beer bars in Chiang Mai are also located along Loi Kroh Road. The bar scene is nothing like Pattaya or even Phuket but you can have some fun. Please note that there are many hotels with joiner fees and some don’t allow visitors.
Guest friendly hotels Chiang Mai 2024 update
Some of my latest guest friendly findings in 2024 include one of the newest hotels, the four-star Hotel Loy Chiang Mai, and the cheap Tata guesthouse. See below for more information.
Last year, I found out that the De Chai hotels are no longer guest friendly. De Chai Colonial Hotel now charges 800 baht for visitors and De Chai The Deco charges 1000 baht.
A warning about Villa Sirilanna Hotel, as it’s not guest friendly: “We don’t allow outside guests after 8.00 pm. For an extra person, we will charge 1500 THB per night.”
All the three go go bars in Chiang Mai are closed, but there are plenty of beer bars and massage places. Many beer bars along Loy Kroh Road and Chiang Mai Entertainment Plaza are open too. However, it’s now called Loi Kroh Plaza and every bar has a few working girls.
Thai Friendly has some pretty girls, some clearly looking for customers.
Chiang Mai bar girl prices 2024: The lady drinks cost less than 200 baht. The bar fine starts at 500 baht, and the bar girls ask for 2000-3000 ST and 3000+ LT, but the going rates are highly negotiable. Thai Friendly girls ask for 2000 baht.
Like Bangkok, Chiang Mai is famous for its happy and soapy massages. One of them is Icha Icha and their services and policies are clearly visible on their website. Everything is included, so it’s hassle-free, and no extra payment. Good places to try are upscale massages like Daysuki by Lolita and Miyabi relaxing massage and budget places like Sayuri complex.
Aurora Club is another upscale massage service, but it’s a bit far from the main party areas. There are some small massage shops near Loh Kroh Road and Thapae Road, but you must negotiate the extras with the girls. The fair price is 500 for a HJ, 1000 BJ, and 1500 FS.

Top guest friendly hotels Chiang Mai
1. Raming Lodge Hotel *** $42+
It’s usually my go-to hotel and my favourite girl friendly hotel in Chiang Mai. I stayed there three times, and it’s probably the best value for money hotel on my list of guest friendly hotels in Chiang Mai. The hotel is more like four stars than the three stars they have been given. Friendly staff, nicely decorated rooms with balconies, wi-fi and huge bathrooms. They also provide complimentary drinks, peanuts and crisps every day.
Some rooms have mountain views. If you are a light sleeper, ask for a quiet room at the back. I enjoy the area as there are beer bars with friendly girls on all sides of the hotel, up and down the road. The Night Bazaar is within a minute’s walk.
2. Studio 365 Serviced Apartment *** $72+
Excellent guest friendly serviced apartments in the heart of Chiang Mai. The location is fantastic, close to the action but very quiet at night. It is a short walk to the center of the city, nightlife, beer bars and restaurants. The apartments are large, clean and modern. Moreover, there is a daily maid cleaning, a desk in the lounge area and stable internet. The owners are very friendly and helpful.
3. Hotel M Chiang Mai *** $37+
Very good guest friendly hotel in Chiang Mai. The location is excellent within the Chiang Mai city gate, close to nightlife, beer bars, plenty of places nearby to eat, and easy walks to cultural sights. Don’t have breakfast at the hotel. The local restaurants are cheaper and better. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with free wi-fi and comfy beds. Stay on an upper floor to see over the wall across the street. Choose a room at the back of the hotel if you want a quiet room.
4. Hotel Loy Chiang Mai **** $89+
Hotel Loy is one of the newest and best guest friendly hotels in Chiang Mai. It’s only a few minutes’ walk to bars and the boxing stadium, but the hotel is in a quiet location. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-designed. The breakfast is excellent, with plenty of choices. There is a nice pool and gym. However, the pool water is not very warm.
Guest friendly policy: “All rooms are available for two persons; if not more than two persons, there won’t be any charge. However, we require adding an extra bed if you have a third person. The price is 1,350 THB (Third breakfast included).”
5. Thapae Loft Hotel *** $44+
Thapae Loft is located inside the old city but the beer bars are only seven minutes away. The rooms are big enough and recently renovated. The bathrooms are also clean and have hot water and showers with good water pressure. The air conditioners are efficient and keep the rooms cool. There is also a swimming pool. The staff are very friendly, and they can organize some trips or transportation.
Guest friendly policy: “You can bring a female friend (bar girl) to your room at no additional cost, and up to 1 room can be up to 2 guests and a female friend (bar girl) come to your room. Card must be taken at the lobby before entering the room.”
6. Duangtawan Hotel **** $44+
Duangtawan has an excellent location, right on Loy Kroh Road, close to bars and the night market with plenty of food options. The hotel has huge rooms and bathrooms and a nice swimming pool. However, there is not much sun in the pool area. The staff are accommodating, and the breakfast is tasty. The laundry service is a bit pricey but very efficient. Stay on a higher floor to avoid the street noise and enjoy the good views.
7. ON Thapae Chiangmai *** $46+
The hotel is located on a quiet and convenient side street, less than two minutes walk to bars on Loy Kroh Road. It’s probably the newest hotel in the area, so everything looks fresh and clean. Standard rooms are somewhat small, but they have excellent suites with in-room bathtubs. There is a small but nice swimming pool. The staff are very polite and helpful and provide free drinks and snacks in the lobby.
Guest friendly policy: “It’s okay to bring a guest to your room, but we’re not providing additional towels, pillows or breakfast for additional guests.”
8. Royal Lanna Hotel *** $30+
Royal Lanna Hotel is a bit old but large and has a lift. The rooms are huge, with comfy beds, and cleaned every day. It has probably the best Wi-Fi signal I’ve ever had in Chiang Mai—a central location in the heart of the Night Bazaar, near the nightlife, beer bars, and restaurants. Great breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. The hotel also has a nice swimming pool.
9. Moon Dragon Hotel *** $42+
Moon Dragon is an excellent hotel in Chiang Mai’s old town, not far from the beer bar area. It has nice rooms and a small swimming pool.
If you book a room for two, you can have one joiner at a time free of charge or +300 baht if you bring two. However, if you book their executive suite or penthouse, you can bring more than one visitor free of charge.
0. Seven Suns Residence *** $39+
Great guest friendly hotel in Chiang Mai Old City, not too far from the beer bars – within walking distance or you can use the cheap tuk tuks. Huge rooms and bathrooms with comfy beds and excellent wi-fi. Friendly American owner (the former owner of the Summer Breeze in Patong).
