Bangkok Go Go Bars Guide

Bangkok (or the City of Angels) used to have the biggest and best go-go bars in Thailand. But it seems that Pattaya is now at least as good as, and some would say better, at satisfying the need for this type of entertainment.

But what is a “go-go bar”? In South-East Asia, and especially in Thailand, go-go bars differ from beer bars in that they also include erotic adult entertainment, with dancers and hostesses. The performers are usually available for private hire, for your personal entertainment.

Many tourists are now spending a night or two in Bangkok, and then the rest of their holiday in Pattaya. It stands to reason that the females there are less jaded and have more lenient attitudes than those hardened by many years of work in the Bangkok sex industry.

Another plus for those visitors or residents seeking adult entertainment in go-go bars, is that the price of such entertainment is far less in Pattaya than in Bangkok. Restrictions on nudity and hours of business are also reputed to be less strict in Pattaya.

One of Bangkok’s most well known go-go bars is The Dollhouse, which is located in one of Bangkok’s busiest late night adult entertainment areas – Soi Cowboy (soi 23 just off Sukhumvit Road). This is about a five minute walk from Asoke Station by Sky Train, or Sukhumvit Station if you use the Bangkok Subway System.

This go-go bar first opened at the end of 2000, the aim of the owners was to set new standards in nightlife and adult entertainment. Here visitors can enjoy being waited on hand, foot and finger by many attractive Thai females, whose only wish is to attend to their every need. Pole dancing is a popular spectacle as are the table dancers on the upper level of the original Dollhouse.

Another area which is considered one of Bangkok’s hottest in terms of nightlife and adult entertainment is Nana Plaza. The plaza is a building with its entrance near Sukhumvit Road. This area has a variety of go-go bars which are located on three floors of the plaza. As one of Bangkok’s “red-light” districts, almost all of the go-go hostesses are available for private hire. Before entering into such an arrangement, you should be aware that it is usual for the hirer to pay a bar fine for the female. This is viewed as some compensation for removing her from her employer whilst she is working on his time.

For something a little out of the ordinary, you may wish to visit a Nana Plaza Katoey (Ladyboy) go-go bar. For those of you unfamiliar with this term, Bangkok not only has beautiful and erotic Thai girls, but also these somewhat more exotic creatures, who certainly will offer you that little unexpected extra. You are sure to have fun in discovering what makes these exotic and unusual creatures so popular.
