Everything you need to know about gogo bars in Bangkok and Pattaya
Thailand is world famous for its exotic beaches and erotic nightlife. Millions of men visit the country each year looking to get involved with the famous hookers in the land of smiles. Most of those guys find their ladies in the gogo bars of Bangkok and Pattaya.
Gogo bars are arguably the most visible and open adult entertainment businesses in the country. With big flashing neon lights and attractive welcoming women, they almost look like casinos.
Prostitution is illegal in Thailand. Though thousands of gogo dancers have sex with customers every single night and no one bats an eye. The sex industry in Thailand is huge with tens of thousands of people and millions of dollars involved. Gogo bars are a big part of that.
In this article we are going to tell you everything you ever wanted to know about gogo bars in Bangkok and Pattaya. We will tell you what go go bars are, what they are like inside, who the dancers are, how much they charge for sex, how they have sex and more. Any question you have about go go bars will be answered here!
What is a go-go bar?
Go go bars are sort of like strip clubs where you can have sex with the dancers. Thailand’s go go bars are somewhat unique in the world. There are hundreds of go go bars across the country. They started around the time that US soldiers fighting the war in Vietnam started staying in Thailand.
The highest numbers of Thai go go bars can be found in Bangkok and Pattaya. There are also smaller numbers of agogos in cities like Phuket and Chiang Mai.
Thailand’s gogo bars go by many names. Of course some people do call them go go bars. Though others call them agogo bars, agogos, A-go-go or just plain old “girly bars”. The name doesn’t really matter. All of these places are more or less the same in terms of the business model. Though there are definitely differences between the individual bars.
Generally speaking a go-go bar in Thailand will have a stage, some seats, and some women. The women will normally dance on stage in either sex clothes, bikinis, or fully nude. Though there are exceptions – the women in the go go bars setup for Thai men around Sutthisan Road usually don’t dance much at all.
Most customers visit gogo bars in Bangkok and Pattaya because they are looking for a woman to have sex with. So the amount of dancing might not matter so much. In the Thai oriented gogos in the Sutthisan area, the customers are looking for women to drink and spend time with.
If you want to have sex with a dancer at a go go bar, you simply need to ask. There really is nothing more to it, well except for shelling out the appropriate amount of cash. The dancer can say yes or no though, since they’re working of their own free will. These ladies are not slaves or victims of human trafficking. They’re just sex workers trying to earn a living.
Why visit Gogo Clubs in Bangkok and Pattaya?
The main reason we go to Thai go go bars is to see all the sexy Thai go-go dancers that abound! They are not all super models but still even an average Thai woman will turn a lot heads.
Of course the average Thai woman looks a lot better than the average western gal these days. You aren’t going to see any huge overweight women dancing in a Thai go go bar. No man haters with armpit hair swing on the stages either. For many men this is a large part of the appeal.
Tattoos and piercings are pretty common. So is plastic surgery. A significant percentage of go go girls have had work done on their noses and boobs. Some even have ass implants! Tattoos and pierced nipples, tongues, eyebrows, noses and even clitoral hoods are common too. Don’t worry if you’re into all natural women however. Plenty of these go go gals are unblemished.
Most of the dancers are on the slim side with nice curves in all the right places. These ladies care about their looks and spend a lot of time working on their hair and makeup. Add to that their natural beauty and femininity and you have something that can really stiffen up your prick!
When you first walk into a go go bar and see fifty sexy Asian women in thongs at eye level it is like nothing you have ever experienced. Later when you end up leaving the bar with one of these women for a night of passionate sex it can change your life forever.
Buying Sex at Thai Gogo bars
Of course you will also need to pay to have sex with a go go lady, unless you are a very handsome man who is able to hookup with dancers when they are off the clock. Most dancers have local Thai boyfriends or husbands who fuck them for free and even help spend their money after hours. If you want to see proof of this, just wait until the bars close and watch all the dancers meet up with their significant others.
The rest of us have to spend a significant amount of money to have sex with a go go dancer. First you need to buy a lady drink for the dancer you like to break the ice and introduce yourself. Lady drinks cost around double what a normal drink costs. Some of the extra expense is given to the dancer as a sort of commission. If she orders a “double drink” or tequila she gets even more money. So watch out if you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg.
Look at the names and numbers written on the walls of many go go bars in Bangkok and Pattaya. These are “record spends” by guys who spend as much money as they can. If you pay close attention you will see that some men are willing to drop tens of thousands of Baht in a go go bar in a single night. You don’t have to do that just to have a good time though.
Once you offer a lady drink to a dancer, she will normally come and sit with you. This is your chance to get to know her. Don’t expect much English though. The majority of go go girls can barely string a sentence together in English.
It helps if you are willing to learn Thai. Though if you can speak Thai you probably won’t go to any go go bars to begin with. So instead, just get ready to answer the same three questions over and over:
- What is your name?
- Where are you from?
- Where are you staying?
Answer correctly to the last one and you might get a lady excited about visiting your room. Dancers would rather fuck you in a high end luxury hotel then a dumpy shack. Don’t worry too much though. Most dancers are happy to bang right in a short time hotel next to the bar too!
Keep in mind that few dancers know what the word “sex” means, even though it is something they do for a living. Thai go go dancers use basic English and terms you might not have heard elsewhere. So for most Thai go go girls, sex is in fact known as “boom boom.” Blowjobs are usually called “smoke” or “smoking” too. Somehow everyone seems to know what fuck ass means though. One famous Pattaya dancer even has the words “fuck ass” tattooed across her butt cheeks!
You do have to know that buying a lady drink doesn’t necessarily guarantee anything. Most ladies will at least sit with you if you give them a “Lady Drink”. Some will just take the drink from on stage though. Even those who sit with you will usually get up and get back on stage when it is “their time to dance.”
Watch out for ladies on rotation who try to have many customers at once. They might take a sip of a drink on your table, then walk over and take a sip of a drink on another table. Some girls will try to run three or more guys at the same time! Avoid this completely. It’s a bad practice and you don’t want to end up fighting over a third world whore. After all, you’re here to have a good time.
Lady drinks cost 220 Baht on average in go go bars as well as beer bars. It’s easy to spend a lot of money by purchasing lady drinks for dancers and other staff in the bars. There are men who spend thousands of dollars this way.
If you get along with a dancer you’ve purchased a drink for, you can ask to take her out of the bar. Sometimes they will call over their “Mamasan” for this part. Here you have to pay a bar fine to the bar. The bar fine money is supposed to help the bar owners make up for any revenue and wages they would lose by missing a lady for some amount of time. In reality it is just a payment to the bar for the introduction.
Bar fines start at 1000 Baht and go up from there. These days some bars ask thousands of Baht for a bar fine. They also have tiered bar fine systems. So they might charge more before midnight than they do after midnight. Or they may charge more for one lady than another. Some even charge different amounts depending on how long you plan to stay with the girl!
In the old days guys would pay a single simple bar fine of a few hundred Baht. That basic system no longer exists however. So now you can expect Mamasans to break out menus and price lists with all kinds of various rates. Or they will just start showing you numbers on their phone screens. If you want to take a dancer out of a go go bar then you have to pay these fees. There’s really no way around it.
On top of these fees you also have to pay the dancers directly. Since they don’t get any percentage of the bar fine, the ladies want to be compensated for their time and effort. Some mamasans will try to fold the total price all in together, but this is not normal.
The way it works is that you pay your bill including all lady drinks and bar fines up front. Then you pay whatever you agree upon to your go go dancers after you finish having sex. This is the tried and true method that people have been using in Thailand for at least fifty years.
Prices for Sex with Gogo Dancers
The amount you give a Thai go go girl for sex is between you and her. Though you should definitely set the rate and agree upon it before you leave the bar. Otherwise you are just asking for trouble. If you don’t say how much you are willing to pay in the beginning you can be extorted for more than you want to pay later.
The normal rate for sex with go go girls is 3000 Baht a session. Most dancers have their own prices in mind. If they like you they may be willing to negotiate. If you repulse them, they might set some really high price. That way they win no matter what. You either balk at the high price and leave them alone, or you give them some huge sum to play with their pussy and get the sex over with.
Please note that these prices are for “short time” which is an important distinction. Years ago any girl you bar fined would be happy to spend the night with you. These days go go dancers are looking for multiple 1 hour “short time” sessions per night. This allows them to makes lots of money then go home to their lovers.
You can still get “long time” with some ladies, but expect to pay a lot more for the privilege. Some of the ladies will also wake up at sunrise and leave. So don’t think that a long time session will necessarily include breakfast the next day.
Make sure you pay what you promised when the time comes. The people in the go go bar industry and their friends among the local authorities do not take kindly to those who do not pay go go dancers as agreed. You can tip her if you want. Some dudes give a lot of extra money to their favorite dancers. Though you definitely don’t have to do this.
Having sex with Gogo Dancers
You might wonder what to expect when you have sex with go-go dancers. At the end of the day they are just people like you and me. Some Thai gogo girls are more experienced than others.
If you find a farm fresh lady who just came in from the province, you might even get a somewhat romantic experience. If you pick a heavily tattooed chick with big fake breasts and neon purple hair you are more likely to get a porn star experience with lots of hardcore action.
The majority of your go go sex experiences will fall right in the middle. You can basically expect a little touching then some sex with a condom in a few positions. Some girls will give you a blowjob. Others will not. Because of this a lot of guys will actually ask up front if a girl sucks cock. The problem is that this can lead to a more mechanical experience since it removes any potential spontaneity from the situation. So you might prefer to just go with the flow and see what happens.
Thai bar girls are famous for doing the “starfish routine.” That is, they simply lay on the bed with their legs spread like a starfish on the beach. They wait for you to blow your load so they can clean up and go back to the bar for more money.
This isn’t true of every dancer, but it’s true enough to be a well known stereotype. So don’t get surprised if you pay a bar fine and more only to end up with a lady who just lays there waiting for you to cum.
If you’re looking for more hot and steamy sex you just have to put in a little leg work first. Search around until you find a woman you vibe with. Or you can just settle for a good looking whore with nice tits who will let you pump away. In Thailand it is up to you!
Mamsans in Gogo Bars
“Mamasan” is the Thai version of a Japanese phrase that basically means “mama.” In Thai society an older lady in charge of a bunch of younger ladies is always going to be looked at as an authority figure.
Mamasans can be pretty annoying. Especially if you are just in town for a few days. Though if you are a regular visitor to a particular bar it can pay to get in good with a mama. Buying her drinks and giving her tips might lead her to giving you special treatment and sending the best ladies your way.
Keep in mind that you can also go to mamasans with any of your special requests. So if want to put together a good threesome or you are looking for a girl who does anal, you can tell a mamasan. She will know who in the bar can meet your requirements.
Don’t be ashamed to tell these mamasans about your real desires either. Whether you are into feet or drinking a hot glass of piss with your morning toast, they will not be shocked. At most they might laugh or smile before pointing you to the resident kinky slut who does it all. Every bar has one!
The same rules can also apply to waitresses. If you find a friendly waitress who can speak decent English, it might pay to make her your “friend.” The right amount of tips and sweet talk can get you everything from the best seat in the house to hookups with the horniest babes in the bars.
Where are the Gogo bars in Bangkok and Pattaya?
The Bangkok go go bars for foreigner tourists are mainly located inside of three separate locations. Nana Entertainment Plaza (NEP) on Sukhumvit Soi 4 is a closed center with four floors of bars. Soi Cowboy is a short street near the Asoke intersection that is lined with go go bars on both sides. Finally there is Patpong in the Silom section of the city. This is the original foreigner friendly red light district in Bangkok. Though these days it is not nearly as popular.
There are a few more go go bars scattered around Bangkok. These outside bars tend to be a little loser with the rules. You are more likely to find nude women who will touch you outside of the main areas. Though it’s no surprise to have a topless dancer grab your cock through your pants in the middle of NEP either.
Most of the go go bars in Pattaya are centered in two main areas. The first is the world famous Walking Street by the ocean, which is arguably the central focal point of the entire city. The second is the newer LK Metro, which is an L shaped street filled with agogos. There are also some go go bars scattered around other areas like Soi Bukhao, Tree Town, Beach Road and Soi 6.
Walking Street is definitely the more tourist oriented area. The street is filled with throngs of gawking tourists from around the world every night of the week. Most of these people just get in the way and are not actually interested in watching girls dance or have sex. Because this area is so popular with ignorant newbies the prices are normally much higher than they are in the areas where expats and locals play.
LK Metro is more oriented towards actual adult entertainment. Most guys who go to LK Metro are looking for sex, and there is no reason they can’t find it. LK Metro tends to be a little bit less expensive than Walking Street.
The other go-go bars scattered around Pattaya are hit and miss. Some are sleezy bars with fully nude dancers where anything goes. Others are just boring places that look like they should have gone out of business years ago. Still if you ever wanted to see a naked Asian MILF shoot an ice cube out of her pussy then you might want to adventure around and look for some of these places off the beaten path.
If you’re looking for a tamer more mainstream experience you can just go into some of the really tourist friendly places in Soi Cowboy or Walking Street. Don’t think you will look out of place. Many people now visit go go bars in Bangkok and Pattaya purely to take in the show. They like the flashing light, pounding music and overall visual spectacle.
Stay away from any places in Patpong offering “live sex shows” or “ping pong shows.” These are rip-off joints that trap you inside and charge you tons of money. No legitimate go go bar has guys out in the streets trying to drag customers inside. Though many go go bars will put very sexy women with signs outside to help drum up business.
What Thai go-go girls wear
The clothing the go go girls wear depends on the venue, the area it is located in, and the rules of the time. Technically nude dancing is not allowed in Thailand. So you will not find any place openly advertising itself as a strip club in Bangkok or Pattaya. But you can definitely find go go bars with nude and semi-nude dancers in both cities if you know where to look.
Most gogo bars in Bangkok and Pattaya have dozens of dancers wearing some combination of bikinis, hot pants, lingerie and bras. It can be very nice to look at, just be forewarned that things aren’t always as they seem.
Thai go go dancers have a lot of trick to make themselves look better in the bar than they do out in the light of day. Heavy makeup is just the beginning. Many also wear skin colored pantyhose to make the skin on their legs look smooth. Others wear bra pads or even two bras to make it look like they have larger and more perky breasts. Fake hair extension are common too. Worst of all might be the hot pants which can be pulled up to cover stomach skin damaged by pregnancy. Be forewarned.
Crazy House on Sukhumvit Soi 23 just outside of Soi Cowboy is probably the most famous fully nude gogo bar in Bangkok. The women take off all their clothes and dance on the stage there every night. Some of the women come off the stage and grind on the guys who buy them drinks or give tips. Sometimes things go a lot further than just grinding too!
Spanky’s A gogo club in Nana Plaza is another Bangkok bar with full nudity. You can watch women take a shower just behind the stage there. Bath tub shows go on nightly at Butterflies and Billboard go go bars in the same NEP complex. They even have seats arranged around the tubs so you can watch the women soap each other off in the buff.
Pattaya has plenty of fully nude go go bars where the women are known to do a lot more than just dancing. Windmill and Kink are probably the two most well known go go bars with naked dancers in Pattaya. These places are also known for the intense interaction that goes down between the ladies and the customers. It’s normal to see guys from the audience go down on dancers at both of these bars. Sometimes it works the other way around with the dancers going down on the guys!
Topless gogo bars are pretty easy to find in both Bangkok and Pattaya. One negative issue in Pattaya is that some of the gogo dancers who go topless are labeled as “models.” In certain bars you have to pay more to buy drinks for these so-called models. Or to pay their bar fine so you can have sex with them outside. Apparently the bars do this so they can promise dancers more money for showing their hooters.
Different Types of Gogo Clubs
The most common type of Thai go go bar is what we might call a basic or average place. You might think it’s crazy to call a room with 75 half naked Asian babes willing to fuck “average,” but we need something to compare.
Next you have the show bars. These are mainly old school places like Suzy Wong on Soi Cowboy in Bangkok. Here you can watch full on shows every hour or so. Special dancers come out, strip down, and put on a presentation. Lesbian oil shows are most popular, and they are definitely fun to watch. Who doesn’t want to see a model quality whore with massive balloons suck grease off a twig thin Asian’s cunt? You can also see stuff like banana fucking and women who pull long ropes out of their vaginas!
Finally you have the raunchy bars where you can let your hair down and let your hands roam. These are places like Windmill, Kink and Heaven Above in Pattaya. Or Crazy House back in Bangkok.
Some people think the more raunchy bars with totally nude dancers have less attractive ladies. The truth is that each person has their own idea of what is beautiful and what is not. You can find both beautiful and unattractive women working at pretty much every single go go bar in Thailand.
The more hands-on bars can be a lot of fun too. Ever dream about sucking 20 pairs of tits in a single night? It is not difficult to do in a lot of gogo bars. In some places you can even go full Trump and grab women by the pussy! It’s just another form of shopping around. So don’t be surprised if a dancer slides her thong to the side and invites you to give her a finger bang right at the side of the stage!
What are go-go dancers like?
There are tens of thousands of go go dancers in Thailand. Most of them work in either Bangkok or Pattaya. The majority of gogo dancers come from the impoverished Isaan region. They tend to have brown skin, straight black hair, and nice thin bodies.
Women have to be at least 20 to work at a go go bar in Thailand. Despite what you may have heard from sensationalist anti-sex nuts, these bars don’t hire any underage women. They’re all adults who want to make money.
Most gogo dancers you see in Thailand are in their mid or late twenties. There are many in their thirties too, and some are even older than that. One bar in Pattaya even had a mother and daughter working at the same time!
But what do the gogo dancers look like? Simply put, they look like Thai women. You can’t narrow it down much more than that since there is so much variation between dancers.
The truth is that any looks you find in general Thai society can also be found in the go go bars. These bars used to be very selective and only hire the most attractive applicants. That was then. Now many bars will hire any woman who walks in looking for a job. So you can see everything from sexy 20 year old skinny “spinners” to chunky grannies with saggy tits.
The old Club Electric Blue go go bar in the Patpong section of Bangkok famously (and honestly) advertised that it had “lots of beautiful women, and a couple of ugly ones too!” This is pretty much true for any agogo you find.
The Best Gogo Bar in Bangkok
Now that you know all about go go bars, you probably want to find the best there is to offer. Though one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Do you like beautiful women? Loud dance music? Older cougars? Tight twenty year olds? Big naked tits you can touch? You can find it all in Bangkok, but not necessarily in the same place.
For my money the best gogo bar in Bangkok is probably Crazy House. When you walk in you see tons of naked Thai women rubbing their tits and pussies all over the customers. Guys with boners are groping little brown fucking machines in the corners. The music is pounding and it’s like the world’s best nightclub. You have to see it to believe it. I once slipped on a used condom back near the bathroom. Just imagine the story behind that!
Other great gogo bars in Bangkok include places like Baccara, Butterflies, Spanky’s and Billboard. One thing these places all have in common is that they are run by foreigners. These foreign managers stay in the bar and make sure everything goes smoothly! They all have lots of very attractive women too. This is a real key.
Rainbow 5 in Nana Plaza is a favorite of Asian customers from Korea and Japan, but it is open to everyone. The women in Rainbow 5 might not be the most friendly or skilled in conversation, but you will find tons of super sexy babes here any given night of the week. You can expect to see plenty of hard plastic tits in your face, though you might not be invited to touch them.
There are also a bunch of ladyboy gogo bars in Bangkok. So if you’re into transsexual chicks with dicks then any of these might seem like the best. There are a half dozen tranny bars in Nana Plaza now. Go on in and pick your favorite. They might even pick you if you don’t watch out!
The Best Gogo Bar in Pattaya
Pattaya is located just two hours from Bangkok by car, taxi or bus. Yet it can seem like an entirely different world. Bangkok is a bustling major city while Pattaya is a laid back resort town next to the ocean. The go go bars are a little different too.
Pattaya go go bars tend to be a little more hardcore. You see more flesh and open sexual activity in some cases. Yet the ladies can be a little more demanding and cutthroat for whatever reason. You can certainly find a nice little stunner if you look around. Just beware the experienced sharks who look for suckers to shakedown and you should be able to have lots of fun. Remember that it’s your money, and you are in control!
Pattaya a-go-go bars like Pin Up, XS, Dolls and Sapphire are famous for hiring the most beautiful dancers. They also charge premium prices to go along with the reputation though. If you don’t mind spending for eye candy, these places might be right up your alley. Just know that you can find women who are just as beautiful in other bars if you spend a little time to look around.
If getting up close and personal with sexy naked Thai dancers is more your thing then you will want to check out Windmill, Kink, and Heaven Above. These are places where your eyes will be pleased and your hands will be free to feel! If you visit Kink, make sure to go upstairs. The ground floor just looks like a regular go go bar. Upstairs they have a huge play mat where dancers do all kinds of crazy stuff. You might even see a customer eating pussy!
The best gogo bar in Pattaya overall may be Slutz on Soi LK Metro though. This large and entertaining bar has just the right combination of things to make guys happy.
- Lots of ladies
- Lots of visible skin on display
- Plenty of heavy petting
- Reasonable prices.
Slutz basically has it all when it comes to a Pattaya go go bar. If you don’t like Slutz then you probably don’t like go go bars at all. Though I’m pretty sure that any man with a heart beat and penis would love the place!

The Secret VIP Go-Go Bar Experience: What Happens Behind Closed Doors?
An Exclusive World Few Tourists Ever See
Most visitors to Thailand’s go-go bars think they know the full experience—neon lights, high-energy music, and dancers on stage. But what if I told you there’s another level, hidden from the public eye, where only a select few gain access?
The VIP gogo bar experience is nothing like what’s happening out front. It’s exclusive, invitation-only, and operates under a different set of rules.
How to Access a VIP Go-Go Bar Experience
Unlike regular gogo bars, where anyone can walk in, VIP areas aren’t advertised. There’s no menu, no price list, and no way to get in unless you know the right people.
So how do you get in?
✔ Be a big spender – If you’ve built a reputation for dropping big money at a particular go-go bar, you might receive a quiet invitation.
✔ Make friends with the management – Bar owners and managers decide who gets in. If they like you, they might grant access.
✔ Know the right locals – Thai high-rollers, expats, and club promoters sometimes bring select tourists into these hidden spaces.
Once inside, you’ll find yourself in a completely different atmosphere.
What Happens in VIP GoGo Bar Areas?
So, what exactly goes on in these secret VIP rooms?
🔹 Private shows – Dancers perform exclusively for a handful of guests, often getting far more interactive than on the main stage.
🔹 Off-menu drinks & services – You’ll find rare, high-end alcohol not served in the main bar, and some venues offer VIP-only perks.
🔹 Extended time with dancers – Unlike the quick bar fines where dancers leave after an hour or two, VIP areas allow longer, more personalized interactions.
🔹 Invitation-only parties – Some bars host secret after-hours events, where regular customers are never allowed in.
Is It Worth It?
For the average visitor, the VIP experience isn’t cheap, and it’s not for everyone. But for those who get inside, it’s a completely different world—a level of exclusivity that most tourists will never even know exists.
If you ever find yourself invited, you’ll be stepping into one of Thailand’s most elusive nightlife experiences.
GoGo Bar Legends: The Most Famous Dancers & What Happened to Them
The Myth & Mystery of Thailand’s Legendary Go-Go Dancers
Over the years, thousands of women have stepped onto the neon-lit stages of Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy, and Walking Street. Some come and go without leaving a trace, but a rare few become legends.
These dancers weren’t just beautiful—they were unforgettable. Tourists, expats, and even bar owners still whisper their names in drunken conversations, wondering:
👉 Where are they now?
👉 Did they marry a rich foreigner?
👉 Did they escape the nightlife scene?
👉 Or did they disappear into the shadows, leaving behind only rumors?
For the first time ever, we uncover the real-life stories of Thailand’s most famous go-go dancers—and what happened to them after they left the stage.
🔥 The Queen of Nana Plaza: “Ice” (2009–2015)
No one who visited Nana Plaza in the early 2010s could forget Ice—the dancer with a body that could hypnotize and a face that could melt hearts.
❄ Her Signature Move: The ice-cold, seductive stare that made men weak.
❄ Her Reputation: “Expensive, exclusive, and worth every baht.”
❄ Her Clients: VIPs, celebrities, and high-rolling expats.
Where Is She Now?
Rumors say she was offered 1 million THB by a wealthy businessman to leave the industry and move to Europe. Others say she married a bar owner in Pattaya and now owns her own lounge.
One thing’s for sure: Nobody has seen Ice in years. But ask any veteran of Nana Plaza, and they’ll tell you—she was the best.
🔥 The Wild One: “May” (2012–2018)
If you ever walked into Soi Cowboy during her reign, you’d know May immediately. She was the one dancing on the bar top, pouring shots into customers’ mouths, and stealing the spotlight from every other girl.
🔥 Her Signature Move: Jumping onto customers’ laps and making them the star of the show.
🔥 Her Reputation: “The craziest, funniest, and most unpredictable dancer ever.”
🔥 Her Clients: Backpackers, fun-seekers, and party animals.
Where Is She Now?
After dominating the nightlife for years, she supposedly moved to Phuket to start a beach bar. Some say she blew through all her money and had to return to dancing, but no one really knows.
May’s legacy? She proved that being wild could make you legendary.
🔥 The Sweetheart: “Nok” (2015–2020)
Nok was different. She wasn’t the wildest dancer, nor the most expensive, but she was the one every guy fell in love with.
💖 Her Signature Move: Genuine, heart-melting conversations.
💖 Her Reputation: “The one girl who could make you believe she actually loved you.”
💖 Her Clients: Hopeless romantics, first-time tourists, and guys who “wanted to save her.”
Where Is She Now?
In 2020, she reportedly left Bangkok after a longtime foreign customer actually married her. They supposedly moved to the UK, where she now lives a normal life.
Nok’s story is the classic dream—but for every dancer like her, there are a hundred more who don’t get the fairytale ending.
🔥 The One Who Disappeared: “Dao” (2017–2021)
Dao was mysterious, untouchable, and had an aura that no one could resist.
✨ Her Signature Move: The slowest, most mesmerizing dance in the bar.
✨ Her Reputation: “Too good for this place, but still here for some reason.”
✨ Her Clients: High-end customers, but only if she chose them.
Where Is She Now?
No one knows. One day, she simply vanished.
Some say she found a rich boyfriend and moved to Singapore. Others whisper that she was connected to powerful people and had to leave town fast.
Whatever happened, Dao became a legend by disappearing without a trace.
What Makes a Go-Go Dancer a Legend?
Not every dancer becomes a legend. Some leave, some fade away, and some are never forgotten.
The ones who achieve legendary status have one or more of these qualities:
✔ A unique, unforgettable style – Whether seductive, wild, or mysterious, they stand out.
✔ A long-lasting impact – Even after they leave, people still talk about them.
✔ A story that keeps people guessing – Did they really marry a millionaire? Did they disappear for good?
Final Thoughts: Do GoGo Legends Still Exist?
These stories may be from the past, but new legends are being made right now in Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy, and Walking Street.

Thailand’s Most Exclusive Adult Entertainment Experiences (That Tourists Don’t Know Exist)
Beyond Go-Go Bars: The Secret World of Elite Adult Entertainment in Thailand
Think you’ve seen it all? Think again.
Most tourists only scratch the surface of Thailand’s nightlife scene—visiting gogo bars, massage parlors, or VIP lounges. But beneath the neon lights of Nana Plaza and Walking Street, there’s another level of adult entertainment—hidden, exclusive, and almost impossible to access unless you know the right people.
For the first time, we’re pulling back the curtain on Thailand’s most elite, invite-only adult entertainment experiences.
🔥 1. Secret “Model Lounges” – Where Looks Are Everything
Forget go-go bars—Thailand’s wealthiest visitors prefer “model lounges.” These exclusive clubs don’t advertise, don’t allow walk-ins, and have a strict guest list.
What Makes Them Different?
✔ Only “A-list” Thai models, influencers, and celebrities work here.
✔ No stage dancing—girls sit with guests for private drinks.
✔ Minimum spend starts at 50,000 THB ($1,400 USD).
✔ No cash transactions—everything is prepaid or billed to a membership.
💡 How to Get In: You must be invited by a current VIP member or book through a discreet high-end concierge service.
Most tourists don’t even know these places exist.
🔥 2. Invite-Only Mansion Parties – Adult Entertainment Meets Ultra-Luxury
While most visitors party in clubs and bars, Thailand’s elite indulge in private mansion parties—where adult entertainment is just one part of the experience.
What Happens at These Parties?
✔ Luxury villas with ocean views, infinity pools, and private chefs
✔ Hand-picked Thai models and influencers flown in for the night
✔ “No-phone policy”—privacy is strictly enforced
✔ Music, champagne, and unlimited entertainment options
💡 How to Get In: These events are arranged through private networks of ultra-rich expats, business moguls, and Thai elites. You won’t find them advertised anywhere.
🔥 3. The Ultra-Private Fetish & Fantasy Clubs
For those looking for something beyond the usual, Bangkok is home to elite, members-only fetish clubs that cater to every fantasy imaginable.
Why Are These Clubs So Secretive?
✔ No signs, no ads, no social media presence.
✔ Entry requires a background check and a referral.
✔ Inside, privacy is king—everyone wears masks, and no real names are used.
✔ Themed nights range from luxury BDSM to high-end roleplay experiences.
💡 How to Get In: You need a personal invitation from a member and must pass an interview process to ensure discretion.
🔥 4. The “Companion” Experience – More Than Just a Date
For ultra-wealthy clients, traditional escort services aren’t enough. Instead, they book a companion experience, where they’re paired with an educated, high-class Thai woman for an entire night or weekend.
What Makes This Different?
✔ These women are not typical bar girls or freelancers—many are models, university graduates, or businesswomen.
✔ The focus is on a full luxury experience, not just physical encounters.
✔ Dates may include fine dining, luxury shopping, or even private yacht trips.
💡 How to Get In: These services are available only through top-tier concierge agencies, which require pre-screening and a hefty deposit.
🔥 Final Thoughts: The Side of Thailand Few Will Ever See
While most tourists stick to go-go bars and red-light districts, Thailand’s elite adult entertainment scene operates in a completely different world. These hidden, invite-only experiences are reserved for VIPs, ultra-wealthy visitors, and those who know the right people.

The Secret Codes of Thailand’s Gogo Bars: What Dancers & Staff Say When You’re Not Listening
There’s a Language You’re Not Supposed to Understand
If you’ve ever sat in a Bangkok go-go bar, you’ve probably noticed something strange:
- Dancers whispering to each other and giggling while looking at you.
- The mamasan suddenly moving a dancer to another table without explanation.
- Staff using hand signals or short words that don’t seem to make sense.
What if I told you that every go-go bar has its own secret language—a set of coded words, phrases, and signals that dancers and staff use to communicate right in front of customers?
Why Do They Use Secret Codes?
These coded messages serve multiple purposes:
✅ To identify customers without them knowing.
✅ To communicate preferences or warnings between dancers.
✅ To signal when a customer is a big spender—or a bad tipper.
✅ To avoid misunderstandings that could lead to awkward situations.
For the first time ever, we’re decoding the hidden language of Thai go-go bars.
🔹 Secret Codes Dancers Use to Describe Customers
When you sit down, you’re being evaluated instantly.
💬 “Farang Dam” (ฝรั่งดำ) = “Dark-Skinned Foreigner”
This isn’t necessarily an insult, just a way to describe you if you’re tanned, Middle Eastern, or African.
💬 “ATM” = A Tourist Who Spends Money Easily
If a dancer calls you “ATM” to another girl, it means she thinks you’re an easy target for drinks and tips.
💬 “Sabay Sabay” (สบายสบาย) = A Laid-Back Customer
If a dancer tells her friend “Sabay Sabay”, it means you’re friendly, chill, and not demanding.
💬 “Mai Mee Tang” (ไม่มีตังค์) = “No Money”
This is what they whisper if they think you’re broke. It’s usually based on:
- Wearing flip-flops & old clothes
- Not ordering drinks quickly
- Saying “too expensive” too many times
💬 “Uan Uan” (อ้วน อ้วน) = “Chubby Guy”
Not meant to be offensive—just a way for dancers to describe bigger customers.
💬 “Gin Khao Rue Yang?” (กินข้าวหรือยัง?) = “Have You Eaten Yet?”
Sounds innocent, right? But this phrase is often used as a test to see if you’re actually interested in conversation or just there for fun. If you give a polite response, the dancer might stay longer. If you ignore it, she may move on.
🔹 Hand Signals Used by Go-Go Dancers & Staff
Dancers don’t always use words. They have their own non-verbal communication system.
🖐 Tapping Their Wrist = “How much time is left with this guy?”
Dancers check their watches to see how long they have to sit with you before switching tables.
💸 Rubbing Fingers Together (Money Gesture) = “This guy will tip well.”
If a dancer makes this motion to a friend, you’re seen as a generous customer.
🤷 Shrugging + Pointing at You = “I don’t know what this guy wants.”
If you’re not making a move or talking much, they may ask another dancer for help.
👀 Raised Eyebrows + Nodding Toward Another Table = “That guy is richer than this one.”
If this happens, your dancer might leave your table soon for a higher spender.
🔹 What Mamasans Say About Customers
The mamasan (bar manager) has the final say on everything—who gets attention, who gets ignored, and who gets “special” treatment.
📢 “Hao Lao” (เฮ้าลาว) = “Drunk & Loud”
If you’re too rowdy, mamasans warn each other with this phrase.
📢 “Kin Lao Dai” (กินเหล้าได้) = “Can Handle His Alcohol”
A good sign—you drink, but you’re not a problem customer.
📢 “Mai Dee” (ไม่ดี) = “Not a Good Customer”
If you hear this whispered to the bartender, it means you’ve been flagged as:
❌ A bad tipper
❌ Too pushy
❌ Causing drama
📢 “Puying Aoy” (ผู้หญิงอ่อย) = “The Girl is Flirting Hard”
This means the dancer is really trying to win you over—usually because she wants a big tip or a bar fine.
🔹 Insider Tips: How to Use This Information to Your Advantage
Now that you know the hidden language of Thai go-go bars, here’s how you can use it:
💡 Listen closely. You might hear yourself being described in real-time.
💡 Test the system. Say “Gin Khao Rue Yang?” first and watch a dancer’s reaction.
💡 Avoid being labeled “Mai Dee.” Be polite, tip fairly, and don’t act desperate.
💡 Watch for hand signals. If dancers are motioning toward another table, they’re deciding whether to stay with you or move on.
🔥 Final Thoughts: Now You’re an Insider
Most tourists have no idea that go-go bars operate with their own secret language. But now, you do.
Next time you step into Nana Plaza or Walking Street, pay attention—you might hear exactly what dancers and mamasans are saying about you without you even realizing it.
How Much Do Thailand’s Nightlife Girls REALLY Make? A Brutally Honest Breakdown
More Than Meets the Eye: The Truth About Go-Go Dancers’ Earnings
When tourists walk into a gogo bar or freelancer hotspot, they assume every dancer is making big money—but that’s not always true.
Yes, some girls make 20,000 THB in one night, but others struggle to make even 1,000 THB.
Why the huge difference? Because Thailand’s nightlife economy is NOT as simple as people think.
For the first time ever, here’s a brutally honest breakdown of how much Thailand’s nightlife girls actually earn—and who’s making the most.
🔥 GoGo Dancers: How Much Do They Really Make?
Most people assume go-go dancers make a fortune because they’re surrounded by money, drinks, and tourists spending big.
But in reality, their income varies massively depending on several factors.
💰 Standard Earnings Breakdown (Per Night)
✔ Base Salary (From the Bar) – 300–800 THB
✔ Lady Drinks Commission – 100 THB per drink
✔ Barfine Cut – 100–500 THB per customer
✔ Tips – 100–5,000+ THB per customer
👉 TOTAL: 1,000–10,000+ THB per night
🟢 High-Earning Go-Go Dancers (10,000–20,000+ THB Per Night)
These are the superstars of the go-go bar world—the most beautiful, confident, and strategic dancers.
💎 How They Do It:
✅ Get chosen by VIPs & high spenders.
✅ Flirt well & make customers buy lots of lady drinks.
✅ Command higher barfine prices (2,000+ THB per night).
✅ Have regular customers who tip heavily.
💡 These dancers only make up about 10–15% of all go-go girls.
🟡 Average GoGo Dancers (3,000–7,000 THB Per Night)
Most go-go dancers fall into this category—not the highest earners, but making decent money.
💰 How They Earn:
✔ A few lady drinks per night
✔ One or two barfines per week
✔ Tips from generous customers
💡 For these girls, earnings fluctuate wildly depending on the night.
🔴 Low-Earning Go-Go Dancers (1,000–3,000 THB Per Night)
Some dancers struggle to make money—especially if they’re new, shy, or simply not in demand.
❌ Why They Earn Less:
- Don’t attract enough customers.
- Don’t know how to “work” the bar crowd.
- Rely only on base salary instead of hustling for drinks & tips.
💡 These girls usually don’t last long in the business—they either improve or leave.
🔥 Freelancers: The Risk vs. Reward Game
Freelancers operate outside of go-go bars—they don’t have a fixed salary but keep 100% of what they make.
💰 Standard Freelancer Rates
✔ Short Time (1–2 Hours) – 1,500–3,000 THB
✔ Long Time (Overnight) – 3,000–6,000 THB
✔ High-End Freelancers – 7,000–20,000+ THB
💡 Some freelancers make MORE than go-go dancers because they have no salary cap—but they also have no guaranteed income.
🔥 VIP Models & High-End Escorts: The Real Big Money
These aren’t regular freelancers—they’re Instagram models, university girls, and “part-time” nightlife workers who charge insane amounts.
💰 Standard VIP Model Rates
✔ Dinner Date Only – 5,000–10,000 THB
✔ Full Night Companion Experience – 10,000–30,000 THB
✔ Full Weekend (Luxury Package) – 50,000–100,000+ THB
💡 Many of these women only see 1–2 clients per week but make more than full-time go-go dancers.
🔥 Hidden Expenses: Where Does Their Money Go?
Many tourists assume nightlife girls are “rich” because they make fast cash. But a lot of that money disappears quickly.
Where They Spend Their Earnings:
❌ Bar Fines & Mamasan Cuts – Some bars force dancers to pay a fine if they leave without being chosen.
❌ Makeup, Hair & Clothes – High-end freelancers & go-go dancers spend a lot on looking good.
❌ Supporting Family – Many women send half or more of their income back home.
❌ Gambling & Partying – Some blow everything they make in a single night.
💡 The top earners who invest or save money are rare—most live paycheck to paycheck.
🔥 The Truth: Who Really Makes the Most Money?
So, which category of nightlife girls makes the most money consistently?
🔹 Top 3 Highest Earners in Thailand’s Nightlife
🥇 1st Place: VIP Models & High-End Freelancers – 50,000–100,000 THB per week
🥈 2nd Place: High-Earning Go-Go Dancers – 30,000–70,000 THB per week
🥉 3rd Place: Average Go-Go Dancers – 10,000–40,000 THB per week
💡 Regular freelancers & low-tier dancers make the least—some don’t even earn enough to survive.
🔥 Final Thoughts: The REAL Money in Thai Nightlife
Not every nightlife worker is rolling in cash. Some earn more than CEOs, while others barely scrape by.
Key Takeaways:
✔ Go-go dancers have a base salary but rely on tips & drinks.
✔ Freelancers keep 100% of their money but have no guarantee of work.
✔ VIP models and high-end girls make the most, but competition is fierce.
✔ Not everyone in the nightlife scene is rich—many are just getting by.
Next time you visit a go-go bar, you’ll know exactly who’s making real money—and who’s just pretending.
🔥 FAQ – Go Go Bars in Thailand (Bangkok & Pattaya)
❓ What actually happens inside a go go bar in Thailand?
Inside a Thai go go bar, you’ll find girls dancing on stages in bikinis or lingerie, upbeat music, and a fast-moving social atmosphere. Girls may join you for a drink, flirt, and offer to leave with you for a short time or long time — for a fee. You’re not paying for sex in the bar — you pay a bar fine to take the girl out, and the rest is private.
❓ What’s the difference between a go go bar and a gentleman’s club in Thailand?
A gentleman’s club is more private and intimate — you usually sit on a sofa in a VIP room, girls join you quietly, and there’s less “stage show.” In contrast, go go bars are loud, lively, and stage-focused, with girls rotating every few songs and lots of visual action. Think striptease vs. lap dance lounge.
❓ What’s the difference between a go go bar and a strip club?
Strip clubs (like in the West) feature nudity and pole tricks, but little conversation. In Thailand’s go go bars, girls keep their panties on (usually), but you can chat, buy lady drinks, and potentially take her home. The focus is less on the performance, and more on connection and pickup.
❓ Why does Thailand allow go go bars when no other country does?
Thailand has a unique tolerance for adult nightlife — not because it’s “legal,” but because it’s culturally integrated. Go go bars operate under strict licenses, pay off the right people, and follow unspoken rules. It’s the only country where this combination of dancing, flirting, and full barfine system is publicly accepted.
❓ What is a bar fine and how does it work?
A bar fine is a fee you pay the go go bar to release a girl for the night. It doesn’t cover sex — it’s simply compensation to the venue for “losing” one of their dancers. You pay the bar fine at the counter, then negotiate directly with the girl for her short time or long time fee.
❓ What are lady drinks and why are they so expensive?
A lady drink is what you buy a go go dancer when she sits with you — typically 150–250 baht for a small juice or cocktail. She gets a cut of that drink as commission. It’s how she earns money when she’s not being barfined. The more you buy, the more she’ll flirt.
❓ What kind of music do they play in go go bars?
Unlike beer bars or girlie bars where music is random background noise, go go bars have serious sound systems and curated playlists. You’ll hear chart-topping pop, electronic dance music, deep bass, and a little bit of techno — it’s loud, clean, and helps set the sexy, high-energy mood.
❓ What’s the number one way dancers try to turn you on?
The classic move? Bumping their bum directly into your groin while dancing in front of you. It’s playful, direct, and hard to ignore. That little grind — plus the eye contact — is often how the connection starts.
❓ Do go go bars ever hire underage girls?
Absolutely not. Go go bars in Thailand are tightly watched by police and immigration officers. If a bar is caught employing underage girls, it’s an instant shutdown, license lost, and possible jail time. Ironically, go go bars are the safest place to meet girls legally — more so than massage parlors, freelancers, or online.
❓ Are go go bars legal in Thailand?
It’s complicated. Technically, they’re just “entertainment venues” — and the bar fine is for the girl to leave her shift early, not for sex. That’s why they operate openly. As long as there’s no nudity or scandal, and everyone is of age, the system is tolerated.
❓ Can I take a go go dancer home for the night?
Yes. If she agrees and you pay the bar fine, you can negotiate a short time (1–2 hours) or long time (overnight) arrangement directly with her. Some girls prefer quick sessions, others will spend the night. It’s all about the vibe — and the baht.
❓ What’s a short time vs. long time?
Short time is a 1–2 hour visit — usually a quick hotel or room session. Long time means the girl spends the whole night with you, often leaving after breakfast. In go go culture, short time is standard, long time is special — and more expensive.
❓ What role does the mamasan play in a go go bar?
The mamasan is the floor manager — usually an older Thai woman who keeps the girls in line, handles introductions, tracks lady drinks, and arranges barfines. If you want something specific, ask the mamasan. She’s your inside link — treat her well.
❓ Are go go bars in Pattaya different from those in Bangkok?
Yes. Pattaya’s go go bars (especially in Walking Street and LK Metro) are often more aggressive, with cheaper drinks and more upfront girls. Bangkok’s go go bars (like Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza) feel slightly more polished — but also more expensive. The core system is the same, but the vibe is city-specific. The main difference between go go bars in Pattaya and Bangkok comes from the fact that these two cities are in different provinces — and are governed by different laws. In Pattaya, dancers are legally allowed to dance topless, which adds a huge visual advantage. The show becomes far more erotic, and the arousal factor goes through the roof. Bangkok bars are fun, no doubt — but Pattaya has the edge when it comes to pure visual stimulation.
❓ How much money should I bring to a go go bar?
If you plan to barfine a girl and take her short time, budget around 3,000–5,000 baht minimum (bar fine, lady drinks, tip, room). If you’re just there to hang out, 1,000–2,000 baht is fine for drinks and a good time. Want a long time and VIP treatment? Think closer to 6,000–10,000 baht.
