Bangkok has more hotels than almost any city in Asia – but many of them, especially the big chains on Sukhumvit, charge a joiner fee of 500 to 1,500 baht when you bring a visitor. The hotels on this page are reported to charge no fee or only a small one. Check the guest policy on each hotel page: it shows clearly where the fee is confirmed and where it is not yet.
