The sweet spot is around 10:30 PM. That’s when the best girls are on stage, the tourists haven’t gotten sloppy drunk yet, and the vibe is electric without being chaotic. In Pattaya’s Walking Street, you want to hit places like Windmill or Sapphire between 10:30 and midnight — before the top girls get barfined and disappear. Bangkok is a little tamer, but even there, bars like Tilac or Suzie Wong come alive after 10 PM. Early birds get the drinks, but night owls get the diamonds.

If you’re aiming for a more relaxed experience, go early — like 8:30 or 9 PM. You won’t see the full lineup yet, but you’ll have first pick before the crowd rolls in. You can actually talk to the girls without yelling, and they’re still fresh and not burned out. In Bangkok, early visits to Soi Cowboy let you scope out the scene and even do a bar hop before locking in your favorite. Late-night visits after 1 AM? Fun, but hit-or-miss. A lot of the top girls are already barfined or tired by then.

If you're going for the wildest energy and the best lineup of girls, hit the gogo bars between 9:30 PM and 11:30 PM. That’s prime time—most girls are on shift, the crowd is buzzing, and the vibe is full throttle. If you're more into quiet conversation and maybe a softer connection, earlier (around 8:00 PM) can work, especially on weeknights. After midnight? It’s hit or miss—some girls are already barfined out, others are just tired. But sometimes you get lucky with the ones who are still there and ready to make something happen.
