Everyone remembers their first time.
That awkward moment at the bar entrance. The blinding lights. The army of girls waving you in like a rock star. You’re smiling on the outside, but inside? You’re thinking: What the hell do I do now?
Go-go bars in Thailand aren’t like anything back home — and the rules? They’re unwritten, fast-changing, and brutally unforgiving if you don’t know what you’re doing.
So here’s the question:
What’s the one tip you wish someone told you before your first go-go bar night?
Newbies are reading. Veterans, it’s time to teach.
Walk in slow, sit in the shadows, and don’t order anything until you’ve scoped the place for at least 2 minutes.
First-timers always blow it by:
-
Sitting too close to the stage (tip trap)
-
Letting the first girl who grabs them take control
-
Or worse — buying a drink before checking prices
My #1 tip? Watch how the girls interact with each other.
If they’re laughing, dancing, and actually enjoying the night — that’s a good bar. If they look dead inside? Take your drink and move on fast.
Oh, and never barfine within the first 30 minutes. Trust me.
