All of Sook Station's guests will be given a black-and-white striped uniform just like the ones you see in prison

When you first check-in to the hotel, you'll be assigned a number and asked to change into your uniform.

Then, you'll stand with your number while they take your mugshot.

And instead of a comfy hotel room, you'll be staying in a cell

Each inmate will be assigned to a cell, that they can get in and out of using their assigned numbers.

Each cell is split by iron bars and black-and-white striped curtains.

However, you can't just go in and out as you want

The hotel enforces a curfew. So cells have to be locked and lights have to go out whenever they say so.

You'll even have to share a communal bathroom

Complete with eerie dim lighting, just in case you weren't already creeped out.

But Sook Station does have some non-prison amenities

The hotel is located at 45-49 Soi Sukhumvit 101/2, 10260 Bangkok, Thailand.

Rooms start at USD54 (RM232) a night.
