Bangkok's erotic nightlife, ⚠️analysis of consumption in the three major red light districts

To experience the colorful nightlife in Bangkok, you usually go to adult shows, such as the "Ping Pong Show" (→ Share your amazing experience) or the "Lady Show", and experience the special massage "Dragon Tendon Grasping". What I want to share in this article is Bangkok’s most prosperous erotic red light district, “Nana Plaza” and “Cowboy Street”.

When traveling to the Netherlands, tourists will visit the red light district in Amsterdam's De Wallen. When you go to Japan and go shopping at night, you will also pass through the red light district, such as "Kabukicho" in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and "Tobita Shinchi" in Nishinari, Osaka.

When you come to Bangkok, you have to go to Nana Plaza to experience the red light district.

There are three major red light districts in Bangkok:

(1) Nana Plaza, located near Nana Station of BTS Skytrain
(2) Soi Cowboy, located near Asok Station of BTS Skytrain
(3) Patpong Night Market, located near Sala Daeng Station of BTS Skytrain

If you want to experience the two major red light districts in Bangkok, Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy, it is recommended to stay near Asok Skytrain Station and Sukhumvit Subway Station. Terminal 21 Center Point Hotel (✔Accommodation Instant Rate) is a good choice.

You can decide to take the BTS Skytrain or MRT subway according to your itinerary every day. Because the two systems are different, two sets of transfer fees are required. Living in the center is convenient for going anywhere, and switching transportation systems is not awkward.

How to get to Nana Plaza red light district?

We live between Asok Station and Nana Station, and go to the big landmark "Nana Plaza" on Google Maps (✔ Go to Google Map). From Nana Station of BTS Skytrain, go out along Exit 2 and follow the crowds. Entering Sukhumvit Soi 4, you can examine Bangkok's nightlife. It is the legendary largest red light district in Bangkok, and it is busiest from about 19:00 to 01:30.

There are bars on both sides of the road, and it's very lively outside. There are well-dressed women sitting in the first row outside the restaurant, and there are "street girls" on the street. They are generally tall and dressed to show their figure. They mainly wear jumpsuits with sleek lines and wear high heels. They keep scanning their eyes in all directions, looking for the person who catches their eye.



My traveling companion, Mr. H, was traveling with me this time. Due to Christian religious reasons, we didn’t plan to do anything big. A woman on the roadside pulled him over. He stopped to say a few words and then politely declined. The other person showed displeasure, maybe he felt that Mr. H is pretending to be crazy, but he is really still a virgin.



Nana Nana Plaza layout and GoGoBar explanation

You may be curious about what "GoGoBar" is in Thailand? In Southeast Asia, bars with dancers or female escorts often provide erotic services.

Nana Plaza has a clear entrance and strict security checks. You are not allowed to bring any drinks into the venue. What comes into view is a three-story U-shaped building. The middle square is open seating. Only this area is purely for dining. The three floors At both ends of the U-shaped building, stairs can be climbed to connect the upper and lower floors.



From the first floor to the third floor, there are GoGoBars of various styles, each with different sizes, music styles and performance types, and different types of female escorts. When we visit the store, we just treat it as finding a place to drink at night.

Gogo Bar can be visited at any time

Each store can be visited inside. You just need to say "Just Look" to the staff at the door, and you can quickly take a look inside the store to see the interior decoration style, the number of customers, or the appearance and performance of the female escorts. If you feel that it is not suitable at the moment, If it doesn't meet your needs, you can just walk out without feeling embarrassed at all.

We visited every store on the three floors. Each store had different performances. Some girls were dancing naked on the stage, some were taking a bubble bath, and some stores were very small and only had one stage. , some stores have 360-degree rotating stages.

There are several that left an impression. Spanky's on the second floor specializes in bubble shows. Billboard and Butterflies on the third floor have the same owner. Billboard has a revolving stage and bubble bath, and Butterflies has two large stages and a bubble bath. The venue is spacious with comfortable sofa areas.

Because Mr. H is very loyal, and then we had a car accident in Bangkok. The wound was so large that we couldn’t even touch the water in the shower. None of the yellow label experiences you imagined happened. The two of us didn't want to be bad, our purpose was very simple, mainly pleasing to the eye, so we looked for a GoGoBar with a good overall appearance.

Gogo Bar consumption explanation

The charging method of each store is different. Just ask the reception staff outside and they will clearly inform you of the charging method. Generally speaking, it is (1) Order your own drinks → (2) Invite the lady to drink (Ladydrink) → (3) Take the lady out (buy sex) , divided into short clock (ST) and long clock (LT).

The short clock's ST is the abbreviation of Short Time. When the man completes the launch mission, the lady will leave. The long clock's LT is the abbreviation of Long Time. It is said that the long clock used to stay overnight, but Bangkok has now evolved into a four-hour ecology.

The most beautiful Gogo Bar in Bangkok

The Strap's we went to is located at the corner of the second floor near the main entrance. It is not a conspicuous one. The store is not big, but the lady is very good-looking and the store is often crowded. Strap's is indeed the most popular Gogo Bar in Nana Plaza. , the most beautiful room!



Although the girls smell a little plasticky, they are all artist templates popular among Asians, which is pleasing to the eye. Anyway, we have nothing to do. The price of this restaurant is a little higher than other restaurants. You need to order your own drinks before entering the store. Treat the girl you like to drink. One drink is 200 baht. Mama Sang will come and ask for 100 baht as a tip. The short bell ST that is taken out is 3700 baht or 3000 baht. For the lady, 700 baht for Mama Sang. Since the two of us were only drinking and not having sex, we did not enter into the negotiation process to get out, nor did we learn more about the price of Changzhong LT. I think since you don’t want anything, you shouldn’t ask too many questions, so as not to give the lady too much expectations. The above figures are just reference values, and there is no absolute price. In short, if you are interested in a girl, just ask her directly. If you can accept it, then find someone else.

You can basically just order drinks in that store, but after you sit there for a while, the store will still make an extended income with the girls as the main body. Mamasang will come over to show concern and put pressure on you to find a girl. , at this time, if you don’t see what you like, you can click the channel. If you can’t respond to Mama-san’s expectations, we will stand up and leave handsomely. After all, the seats in the store are limited, and they still hope to increase the table turnover rate and attract more valuable customers. People are doing business and talking about business.

Gogo Bar needs to know how to say no! Be cautious if you have a personality that can’t stand sales.

Nana Plaza is the Gogo Bar in the red light district. It is not a pure bar. Every store has a bunch of girls soliciting customers. As long as you enter the store, you must be prepared to accept all kinds of fancy sales, one after another around the consumption items of the girls, hitting you directly. Come with your wallet!

The lady comes to work, not to have an ambiguous relationship with you. When she sits next to you, it is the price of a glass of wine. Then she will do her best to confirm your actual needs within the time of a glass of wine. interest? Or sexual interest? Her ultimate goal is to further obtain a large "take out (purchase of sex)" order.



How to deal with or flirt with a lady? It depends a lot on one's communication skills and charisma, as well as one's appearance or ability to make money. When the lady confirms that she cannot get a new order (drink or take out), she will pragmatically get up and leave, return to the stage, and continue to wait for the next customer. ,

When you come to Nana Plaza, you really don’t have to be too thin-skinned. If you are too shy to say no and are not quick to judge, when someone gives you an urgent multiple-choice question, you will silently accept it because of the situation or face. If you start to get drunk, then you are not suitable to come, you are here to be teased for money.

If you don’t like or have no need, you must directly refuse or leave. Just like when you encounter a sales promotion on the roadside, if you refuse, it will be difficult for the other party to force you to consume. People have to know how to protect themselves. Sometimes they suffer because they are inexperienced, or they don’t refuse outright at the first time, or they don’t shop around, so they are exploited by others.

How to interact with girls? Don't get seasick

My traveling companion, Mr. H, looks colorful and bold, has a very bold personality, and is good at making girls happy, but he is single from birth, and the overall contrast is incredible. He had a soft spot for the girl he was sitting with for the first time. He seemed to be deeply in love and seemed to be in a seasick mode. We passed by Nana Plaza a few days later, and he innocently returned to the same bar and ordered the same thing. A girl came to drink, epic innocence!

They just had a drink, but the girl failed to win him and get a further big deal. We went to the same Strap’s twice, so we couldn’t check the prices of other Gogo Bars



I think men or women who enter the red light district, regardless of gender, must be straightforward, without being subtle or coy. Chatting must be interesting and actively create interactions. Basically, whatever you want to ask, the girls will answer truthfully. If the roles are reversed, if you are a female escort, you expect to meet a customer who has something to talk about, does not need to exert too much effort, and can spend the drinking period smoothly. If you meet a customer who is shy, it will be very difficult It’s also very awkward to do, and you’ll want to finish your drink quickly and go back to the stage to attract customers.

Mr. H is quite good at interacting with the girl. He suggested that we start with the basic background. Where is the girl from? age? How long have you been working? Next, you can jokingly ask: "Is that person...a shemale?", and then continue to ask: "Is there a shemale at the scene?" (indirectly confirming her), or first praise her for being beautiful, and then ask her, "Is she all natural?" Or did you have plastic surgery?” If yes, you can ask about the location and continue to praise her for being beautiful. For example, in our store, there is a shemale with the most daring style. As for girls who I think are good-looking, I have asked them to go under the knife and spend a lot of money. Appearance is a necessity in this industry, and I have specific responses. at their sitting frequency.

Bangkok’s mini red light district: Soi Cowboy

After we were injured in a car accident in Bangkok, we had nothing to do in the evening and went to Soi Cowboy, a red light district near Asok Station (✔ Go to Google Map).

The alley is just over 300 meters long. You can also use the above principles to explore the shops. I just went to Nana Plaza to see the world. It’s hard to go from luxury to frugality. Soi Cowboy is relatively small in scale and you can see the end at a glance.



After wandering around Soi Cowboy for about five minutes, we decided to log out and walk nearby for a late-night snack.



Visit the red light district with a group and have safe access guaranteed

If you are traveling alone in Thailand, be extra careful when going to a bar and never drink from strangers. At the end of May 2023, there was a piece of news that made a lot of noise. A Taiwanese boy went to a Thai bar alone and was drugged. When he woke up, he was kidnapped to the KK Park in Myanmar. The Criminal Bureau and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are rescuing him (Go to News).

If you are a single man, or a group of women, or you are too thin-skinned to resist sales, Klook has a bar and nightlife guided tour to follow. There is a tour plan that will take you to "Cowboy Street, local merchants, Nana Plaza, Shemale Bar and Nightclub Area", you can also choose a chartered car for hotel pick-up and drop-off, making your trip safer.
