I spent a week in Pattaya last month and ended up on Soi 6 almost every night. Ruby Club had the hottest lineup, I barfined a girl named May for 1,200 baht plus 300 for the room upstairs. Quick, dirty, and honestly more fun than Walking Street go-gos.

Nature Bar is my favorite—always lively, not too pushy. Drinks are cheap, and the girls seem more relaxed. Took a spinner upstairs for 1,000 baht, and she gave the kind of GFE you don’t expect from Soi 6.

Kiss Kool has some absolute stunners, but they hustle hard for lady drinks. Still, if you’re in the mood for a party atmosphere, it’s worth it. Prices were as expected: 1,500 short time, 300 barfine, 300 room.

Toy Box is one of the newer spots and feels fresh compared to some of the older bars. Younger crowd, both girls and customers. Ended up barfining twice there because the lineup was solid.

Soi 6 is no place for romance—it’s fast sex, no strings. That’s the appeal. For 2,000 baht all in, you get a drink, a girl, a quick session, and you’re back out on the street ready for round two. Nothing else in Pattaya matches it.

Soi 6 is blunt, busy and efficient — the place exists mainly for short-time: lots of small beer/short-time bars, rooms upstairs, and girls who work fast. If you want straight-up short-time options in Pattaya (no faff, quick decision), this little street still delivers — but prices and talent rotation change fast, so treat the list below as “best right now, verify on arrival.”

Top bars to check (quick read — location + what they’re best for)

Toy Box (Soi 6) — Small, intimate, one of the more talked-about short-time joints this year: lively staff, drops of new talent, and a “close-quarters” vibe that’s ideal if you’re hunting for a quick and loud one-night thing. Walk in and scan the stage; some girls double as freelancers off the street.
Where: mid-Soi 6 (look for the Toy Box signs / IG handle). Tip: open afternoons → late night; best time 6–11pm.

Hollywood Bar (Soi 6) — Large double-unit bar, air-con, pool table vibe — solid option if you want a slightly more comfortable setting (and easier to sit and watch the soi traffic). Good for groups and first-timers who don’t want a cramped spot.
Where: near the 2nd-Road end of Soi 6. Tip: quieter early evening, livelier after 9pm.

Sandcastle Bar & Lounge — Chill lounge feel, pool table, friendly staff — works if you want a relaxed start and to scope girls without aggressive pushing. Good fallback for a steadier, less frantic bar.
Where: right on Soi 6; opens mid-afternoon.

Soi 6 Corner Bar — Classic “watch the street” corner bar: friendly expat crowd, reliable opening hours, an easy first stop to scan the whole soi and pick your next bar. Good for mornings → early evenings (many bars on Soi 6 open early).

Lust / Toy / other mid-sized short-time bars — The right side of the soi (as you walk from 2nd Road toward Beach Road) has several NightWish / NW-style bars that rotate girls fast; if one bar looks slow, move two doors down — talent moves quick on Soi 6. (see live bar streams and IGs for the current lineup).

Money & negotiation (what actually works in 2025)

Barfine ranges: Short-time barfines on Soi 6 have shifted. You can still find lower-end 400–500 baht barfines for quick grabs in quieter seasons, but peak season and popular girls commonly ask 1,000–2,500 baht — some top picks push higher if you want long time. Always confirm before you leave the bar.

Drink & tip: Drinks + small tips are the currency of goodwill; cash is king. Don’t flash big bills until you’ve agreed terms. If she asks for an “extra” for ST, agree the full number up front.

Rooms upstairs: Many Soi 6 bars either have rooms or can point you to hourly rooms nearby — expect to pay a room fee on top of the barfine if you use the bar’s room.

Timing & approach

Best time: early evening (5–9pm) is high variety and options; after 11pm many of the best girls are already taken/longed. If you want the freshest faces, get there early and do a walkthrough.

How to approach: polite, straightforward, short questions — “Are you working tonight? Barfine? ST or LT?” — works best. If the manager or mamasan gets involved, be clear and keep money conversations in front of them.

Safety & common pitfalls

Verify before leaving: quick LINE photo or selfie is a tiny check that saves drama.

Watch for inflated barfines / “hotel extras”: confirm the total cost including rooms before you go.

Respect & boundaries: short-time culture moves fast but still requires respect — if she says no to something, walk away. Scams happen if you argue about fees after the fact — agree first, then act.
