Like every tourist place in Thailand, many places in thailand has its bar girl scene catering to foreigners and a few expats. It’s a prominent attraction in the city, with some areas given over to bars full of girls for hire. Somewhere like Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai or Phuket.
The most obvious place in thailand to head is Bangkok Cow Soi Boy, Phuket Patong, Pattaya Walking Street where you’ll have trouble walking down the street without being distracted by ‘Helloooo, welcome’. If you cross over to the inside (Cow Soi Boy) you’ll find another cluster as you walk towards Thapae Gate. These are bit tamer. One of the go go bars, Spotlight, is on the outside of the moat, near Thapae Gate.
Look out for the bars tucked down the Soi Boy as you wander down the street. The massage places along this road are also likely to give you a ‘happy ending’ oil massage, but hand jobs are generally as far as they go.
You can also try your luck with Karaoke Lounges. This is an Asian phenomenon and nightly thousands of businessmen like to hire a private room that comes with a bevvy of girls to stroke your leg, keep your drink full and do the singing for you. But be forewarned; they can be relentless in their efforts to stack your bill and don't be surprised if it all adds up to five figures by the end, with absurd charges. There's a handful along Cow Soi Boy Bangkok, likely monopolised by a mafia, with the same rip off experience, tatty rooms, obnoxious girls and large bouncer waiting for you to argue over the bill.
How does Go Go Bar works?
There is nothing more satisfying to a punter than a bar full of sexy girls all vying for your attention. As long as you have a fat wallet they’ll treat you as desirable, no matter who you are, and the more flush you look the harder they tend to try. From a different perspective, it can all seem quite sad and desperate, especially if there are many more girls than tourists. Thai bar girls in Bangkok are experts at making you feel like a king; they’ll flirt with you, pour your drink, rub your leg, occasionally touch you in excitable places and try their best to get hired. And the bargirls in Bangkok aren’t too jaded, rough or rude.
How does Go Go Bar works?
When you enter a bar you can site alone until you’ve spotted a girl you like and if you don’t make any moves one will come up and sit with you. There’s no pressure, the girl will ask for a drink - known as a ‘lady drink’ which is watered down and a set price. Buy them a beer if you want to get them drunk. They’ll play pool with you, make light conversation in their limited English and wait for you to ask them to go home with them. It’s that simple.
Go go bars are slightly different in that girls also dance on a stage in bikinis and costumes and are far sexier. When not dancing they come and sit with you, or you can ‘order’ them from off the stage. These places are more discreet, not open to the street like most others and have a darker atmosphere. Some have private rooms upstairs. You can sit and watch, or blend into a corner. The bar fine and girls in these tend to be more expensive by at least half.
