Back in Patong for ten days this December 2025, focusing hard on the ladyboy scene. Phuket still lags behind Pattaya or Bangkok for sheer numbers, but the quality on Bangla Road and Beach Road punches way above its weight. Tall, feminine, passable katoeys everywhere once the sun drops. Bars concentrate on Bangla, freelancers dominate Beach Road after midnight.
Top Bangla Road bars right now:
Cocktail & Dreams (Soi Sea Dragon): Small stage, solid rotation of ten to twelve ladyboys nightly. Shows start late, but the real action is lady drinks and barfines. Short time 2000-2500 baht, long time 3500-4500. Standouts are the tall dancers with perfect curves.
69 Bar (mid Bangla): Loud music, aggressive mamasan, but lineup packed with young postop and preop stunners. Drinks push heavy, barfine 1000 baht, short time 2500 easy negotiation. Good for quick pick if you want feminine types who speak decent English.
My Way Bar (Soi Sea Dragon edge): Quieter cabaret vibe turning wild after shows. Ladyboys here more approachable, several girlfriend material types who hate the hard sell. Barfine 800 baht, short time 2000-2200.
Beach Road beauties:
North end near Dolphin roundabout: After 1am the real gems appear. Tall model types in tight dresses, many postop and super passable. Short time 2500-3000 baht, long time 4000+. Less competition than Bangla chaos.
Central stretch opposite Hard Rock: Mix of freelancers drifting from bars. Spot the confident shemales leaning on railings. Prices start high at 3000 short time but drop to 2200 if you walk slow.
Overall prices up 10-15% from last year thanks to high season rush. Guest friendly hotels everywhere in Patong, no joiner issues at most. Who's hitting Patong ladyboys lately? Best recent bar pickup or Beach Road score?
Cocktail & Dreams remains my Patong ladyboy go to. Last Thursday the lineup was fire—picked this tall postop dancer with flawless makeup and long black hair. Paid 1000 barfine plus 2500 short time, took her back to the hotel on Rat U Thit. Super feminine, great English, spent extra time chatting after. Way better vibe than the louder Bangla spots where mamasans rush everything. Beach Road was tempting but too many short timers out that night.
Beach Road north end delivered big time two nights ago. Spotted this absolute stunner near the roundabout—legs for days, tight red dress, barely any Adam's apple. Started at 3000 short time, talked her down to 2500 after a quick drink at a nearby beer bar. Postop perfection, confident and playful. Patong ladyboys on Beach Road feel less scripted than bar girls, more natural energy. Avoid central stretch though, too many aggressive ones mixed in.
69 Bar surprised me this trip. Usually avoid the hard sell, but the current ladyboy rotation is next level—young katoeys fresh looking, great stage presence. Barfined a petite one with perfect skin for 1000, short time 2400 settled quick outside. She knew all the Patong spots, ended up grabbing late food together before heading back. Prices firm but worth it for the quality. Cocktail & Dreams still solid backup when 69 gets too packed.
My Way Bar on Sea Dragon edge is underrated for Patong ladyboys. Smaller crowd means easier chats without ten hands on you. Met a sweet preop there last weekend—long hair, soft voice, hates the aggressive bars. Barfine only 800 baht, long time 3800 and she stayed till noon. Talked family, Phuket life, real girlfriend material potential. Bangla main road too noisy for that kind of connection, stick to the side sois for quality over quantity.
Mixing both worlds this week—started at Cocktail & Dreams for the cabaret energy, watched the ladyboy shows, then wandered to Beach Road central around 2am. Scored a tall confident shemale who used to dance at My Way. Quoted 4000 long time, closed at 3500 after walking together toward the hotel zone. Super passable, great attitude, even shared cigarettes talking travel stories. Patong ladyboy scene feels stronger this December than last year, more beauties out despite the tourist flood.
