Pattaya go go girls
Pattaya is full of go go bars and it’s one of the main reasons many visitors come to the city. Unlike most of Thailand, the sex industry thrives in Pattaya as long as everyone sticks to the rules. Prostitution is actually illegal in Thailand but it’s tolerated in certain areas. There are plenty of go go bars in Pattaya, most of the largest being situated around Walking Street and in Pattayaland, nearby. There are more on the lanes leading off Beach Road, as well as a few in Jomtien and North Pattaya if you don’t want to travel too far from your hotel.
The atmosphere in the go go bars of Pattaya is very relaxed and has none of the clandestine character and sleaze of red light districts in other countries. The girls are fun, friendly and willing to go home with you for a reasonable fee. If you are new to Pattaya you needn’t feel embarrassed, and can pop into a bar and quietly sit watching sport on the TV or the girls dancing, over a beer. The girls will approach you and although some are quite forward they are, on the whole, respectful. Also, unlike bars in specific ‘go go areas’ of Bangkok there is no pressure to buy overpriced drinks. All of the go go bars in Pattaya are entered through a curtain or door, with plenty of touts outside, mainly pretty ladies to guide you in. Most don’t charge for entry.
The smaller Pattaya go go bars usually have about 10 girls ‘working’ in each, and the larger ones have as many as 50. And the girls available aren’t all Thai either. ‘European girls only’ at Amazon in Walking Street, are mostly Russian and Eastern European girls, and some are real stunners. When it comes to the essence of their trade there really isn’t any defined rule about what is and isn’t a go go bar. Strictly speaking, go go bars in Pattaya should be discreetly closed to the public, and usually has semi-naked dancers on a stage and a dark ‘stripper’ atmosphere. These are usually some of the sexiest, though charmless and most expensive girls on offer. But, walking down the many lanes in the area, you’ll find countless regular bars full of hostesses who aren’t there solely to pour or serve your drinks. These are relaxed, open places with lively music and sports on TVs. Read more about finding hookers in Pattaya.
Can you bring girls back to your hotel?
Some hotels don't mind you bringing bar girls back to your room as long as you are discreet, while other forbid it or will try to charge you extra. To save you the embarrassment we've enquired with all of them and listed those that are suitable for bachelors, see the list, rates and booking here (opens in a new window)
Most go go bars in Pattaya feature loud music, expensive drinks and a lot of girls. Many men take their girlfriends in with them for a quick drink, but for the more serious male tourist this is why he is in Pattaya. About 75 per cent or more of the visitors to Pattaya are (supposedly) single men. Just choose which one of the lovelies you fancy and buy her a drink first get acquainted. It won’t be long before you are approached, but you’re welcome to sit and drink alone for a while, they will soon leave you to yourself. Lady drinks often cost a little more and may be watered down.
To take a girl out of the bar you must pay a ‘bar fine’. This ranges from 200 – 500 baht, depending on how sexy the girl is or how popular the place is. This is supposedly to compensate the owner for the loss of the girl’s services. Sometimes this fee is negotiable, particularly nearer the end of the evening.
Although the most common practice is to take the girl out the go go bars, some go go bars offer room facilities on site or the girls will direct you to a nearby ‘short time’ hotel. Some of the girls will charge you 500/1000 for a ‘short-time’ which is usually less than an hour (if she’s any good), of which they get about 200 baht, so a tip on top is expected but not necessary. You may also have to pay for the rent of a room (100/200 baht). In Pattaya go go bars, don’t presume you’re the first that day, especially if she’s very pretty.
Meeting horny local girls for free
Most 'bachelors' visiting Thailand opt for the easy solution of visiting go go and girlie bars, but there are also lots of regular girls who aren't prostitutes but keen on meeting foreigners for a fling. Hundreds of lonely and horny modern city girls go looking online for sex with visiting or resident westerners, no strings attached. They aren't expecting money or a boyfriend and haven't been with scores of other men. The best place to meet these girls is on Adult Friend Finder, where there are more than 10,000 registered Thai female members.
However, at most go go bars in Pattaya you can take the girls off to your hotel room and this is the most common practice. Girls will expect more if you want them to stay all night and some guys simply ‘hire’ a girl as companions for several days. Earlier in the evening, some girls will agree to a reasonable short time fee if they know they can be back in the bar to try their luck on someone else. The general rule here is that if a girl is with you for more than three days you pay for everything but sleeping with her. Your hotel security guard will always insist on her depositing her ID card at reception so your chances of being drugged and robbed are much reduced. Go go bars in Pattaya offer everything.

The tiny Soi Diamond, off Walking Street, alone, has a choice of 12 different go go bars, from Shark Agogo (Soi Diamond, 2nd floor, Walking Street (Beach Road)), to Diamond Agogo (Soi Diamond, off Walking Street), which has a choice of entertainments, Heaven Above Tel: 038 711 044 (upstairs) and Naughty Girls are two others. The rest of Walking Street really speaks for itself at night, with young touts, both male and female at every go go bar entrance.
In the Pattayaland sois (13/1,2,3,and 4) there are other go go bars from Chrystal girls to Kitten Club, Spicy Girls (Email: spicy@loxinfo.co.th), Classroom One (325/77-79, Soi 13/4, South Pattaya, Pattaya City, Chonburi 20260, Email: theclassroompattaya@yahoo.com), and many, many more. In Pattayaland these are interspersed with gay bars, gay go go bars and clubs, so make sure you go into the right ones! Sometimes a quick drink-and-out may save face, but you can normally tell by the girls/boys outside the door, unless they are all ‘kratoeys’, (lady- boys or transvestites) some of whom may confuse you with both boobs and sexy dresses.
Soi Yamoto, Soi Post Office, and Soi 8, are other places to find go go bars in Pattaya. Kittens on Naklua Road and a few in Jomtien, means you don’t have to go too far, but South Pattaya is where it’s at for go go bars.
If you really need them, bearing in mind the number of ‘unattached’ single ladies in Pattaya who are only too willing to spend a comfortable night in a good hotel bed for 500/1000 baht with very few “holds barred”, you could try one of the escort agencies. They will come to you in your home, hotel or condo. High Class escort service (01-440-1019) or Diamond Escort (09-935-1002, also offering many other services!) may be your answer.
Pattaya also has a lot of ‘freelancing’ prostitutes. These are girls who prefer not to work in bars, are not sexy enough or are regular girls who make themselves ‘available part time’. They tend to frequent discos or bars that do not have a bar fine arrangement. However, the largest congregation of them can be found loitering around on the promenade along the beachfront of Pattaya bay, openly soliciting passer-bys. At times the sheer number and persistence of these girls can be quite irritating and certainly doesn’t do the city’s reputation much good. They are generally cheaper (without a bar fine), and less likely to have been ‘over-worked’. However, many of these girls are simply students who occasionally indulged in the sex trade for pocket money and it’s a very unfortunate consequence of the modern material habits and devalued morals of Thai youth. Please bare this in mind when dealing with these girls. Read more about Thai women from those who have lots of experiences, on our forum about girls.

Safety warning
Pattaya is a sex hot-spot for people from all over the world. Safe sex is practiced by the majority of the girls and is expected from you in the same way. There are various sexually-transmitted diseases in a city like this and HIV, although not too widespread, is still a genuine threat. Many smaller complaints such as herpes can also be very uncomfortable for you, possible spoiling your time here, so do use basic precautions. The girls here are nearly always very clean, so you are expected to be the same. There are many English speaking doctors around and the pharmacists are great (they have seen it all before). More on Health in Pattaya.
Although the publishers of 1stoppattaya.com have a policy of ‘telling it like it is’, regarding all of Thailand’s popular attractions, we do not condone or encourage sex tourism and certainly take a strong objection to sex with minors. The judgement is yours entirely, but prostitution remains illegal in Thailand and we urge you to treat the activity with caution and respect for those involved. Some girls willingly enter into the sex trade for economic reasons, but others who have not but may be short on money should not be encouraged to participate.
