Guest Friendly Hotels Koh Samui

guest friendly hotels koh samui

The best guest friendly hotels in Koh Samui are located close to nightlife. It’s one of the most expensive places in Thailand with lovely beaches but the nightlife is nothing like Pattaya or Phuket. Also, not all hotels are guest friendly.

There are two main areas in Koh Samui – Chaweng and Lamai. Both have many hotels and bars, but Chaweng is more developed, and Lamai is smaller and quieter. Chaweng is the best place to find many pretty girls and the only choice to party during the low season.

The best party areas in Chaweng are Soi Green Mango and Soi Reggae, which have many beer bars and girls. There are also two go-go bars—Dream Girl, which has Thai girls, and Galaxy, which has Russian girls. I think the best parts of Chaweng and Lamai are the massages with extras. See the updated info below.

Guest friendly hotels Koh Samui 2024 update

Ark Bar Beach Resort and the bar have also reopened, and it’s the best place to stay for parties. If you are looking for the best location to stay near the nightlife, choose a hotel within walking distance of Arc Bar and Soi Green Mango.

I found two more guest friendly hotels: Cosi Samui Chaweng Beach and Lek Lek Samui Room X Coffee Bar.

The following hotels are permanently closed: Lek City Hotel, Samui Laguna Resort and Holiday Park Hotel.

Most beer bars on Soi Reggae and Soi Green Mango are open. They have working girls but don’t expect many young stunners. It’s nothing like Pattaya, Patong, or Bangkok, so you better find a holiday girl from there.

Both go go bars in Koh Samui are open. Dream Girls Go Go has some not very young girls available.

Lamai also has beer bars and girls but not the same party atmosphere as Chaweng. However, there are cheaper accommodations and lovely beaches to enjoy.

Koh Samui bar girl prices 2024: The bar fine starts at 500 and goes up to 1000 baht, 1500-2000 baht for short time and 2000+ baht for the whole night. Lady drinks are less than 200 baht.  In Dream Girls go go expect to pay 120 baht for a beer, 240 baht for a lady drink, 3000 baht short time, and 4000-5000 for the whole night.

Koh Samui massages: The standard massage prices are 300-400 baht and up to 2000 for the girl, depending on her service and your negotiation skills. Some places ask for  1000 for an HJ only, and others ask for 1000 FS. In some places, they ask for upfront payment. The rates are much higher at high-end massage parlors. The Japanese nuru massage place Ki-Mo-No is now Pannarai. You can find the latest rates on their website.

Koh Samui freelancers: The best place to find freelancers is the Green Mango Club. The other clubs are worth checking too. Also, the internet works fine. There are some girls on Tinder and Thaifriendly. The rates start at 2000+ baht for short time.

1-8 – top guest friendly hotels Koh Samui Chaweng beach; G – soi Green Mango party area

1. Ark Bar Beach Resort *** $62+

The Ark Bar Beach Resort is a guest friendly hotel right in the middle of everything. Right on the beach and close to the beer bars and girls. If you want to party, it’s the best hotel in the area. The atmosphere is great, and the pool is lovely. The food and drinks at the restaurant and the bar are excellent. I love the cocktails! The staff is attentive. The rooms are very good, with TV, free Wi-Fi, aircon, and safe. If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the pool and beach area.

2. Chaweng Garden Beach Resort *** $84+

I stayed once at Chaweng Garden Beach Resort and would stay there again. Excellent location in the center of Chaweng. Close to the bars, restaurants, and clubs, but far enough away from any noise. The resort is right on the beachfront, with a nice lounge area. The rooms are spotless and well-maintained: comfortable king-size beds, decent renovated showers and toilets, good aircons, and kettles with coffee and tea. There is free Wi-Fi everywhere. The restaurant is nice but the service is a bit slow.

3. Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort ***** $229+

It’s a fantastic guest friendly high-end hotel in Koh Samui. The hotel is located far enough away from the busy Chaweng Beach in a quiet area but close enough if you want the hustle and bustle. Ten minutes walk to nightlife. You can enjoy the breakfast, the pool, and the private beach. The rooms are absolutely fantastic with huge balconies and baths, everything you need there. Book a room with private pool access. Excellent food and plenty of choices on the menus. The bar serves some amazing cocktails.

4. O.P.Bungalow ** $36+

The O.P. Bungalow is probably the best budget option for a guest friendly hotel in the area. It’s in a perfect location on the beach, within walking distance to nightlife and the new shopping mall. It’s close to many bars but far away enough for a peaceful night’s sleep. The rooms are basic but clean with aircon, comfortable beds, TVs, free Wi-Fi and hot water. Very friendly staff. Restaurant on the beach with delicious food.

5. J4 Samui Hotel *** $39+

J4 has an unbeatable location, as the party areas of Chaweng are right across the street.
