Pattaya
Punting capital of the world?
Pattaya is a large beach city in Thailand. It is on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast of Bangkok. It is popular for its beaches, and for the escorts and night life on Walking Street and Soi 6. Other popular places are Soi Boomerang, Soi LK Metro and Treetown. One can get a taxi to Pattaya from Bangkok for about B1400 (£35).
It is relatively large and walking from the north to south can be 45 min+. The beach on the South side (looking SW) is called Jomtien.

Overview of venues
Pattaya has perhaps 5000 places where you can meet girls for sex. They roughly divide into these groups:
- Girl bars. These are bars where you can meet girls, buy them drinks, and take them for Short term (ST) or Long term (LT). Some have rooms upstairs for ST.
- Go go bars (a.k.a. Agogos). Like girls bars, but there is a pole dancing or exotic show. You can take girls to go gos - some like it.
- Gentleman's Clubs. Tend to have a more laid back approach - older WGs although still some lookers - and typically less pressure to play the lady drink game. Many of the GCs have curtained off areas for sex or BJ for few hundred baht (maybe 1200 for sex) with escorts of your choosing. In many, you can have a blowjob on the couch with no curtain if you are not shy. Popular in daytime - as the rest of town is still quiet. And clearly if you have a LT girl with you, you won't take her in here.You can spot them since they are closed door for privacy. https://www.gentsclubs.com/ Note this web site is managed by the owner of the first 10 listed, but is pretty accurate on the others too. He claims there are 67 in Pattaya (out of 5,000 bars) - 10 of which are owned by him.
- Nightclubs. Full on, with locals, freelancers and bar girls done their shift. Some older punters avoid these. Notable on Walking Street are Marine, Lucifer, Insomnia, 808, Myst, and Republic.
- Beach road at night. Street walkers. Not sleezy - some are girls whose shift ended at bar or office.
Of course there is huge overlap, and each place may have its own quirks. And on top, there are massage parlours and soapies.

Streets in parts of town
North
- Soi 6: A crazy street of bars and Gogos on the northern end. Some are owned by Nightwish group, NWG(e.g. Roxys, Eutopia, Playpen, Where Angels Play). NWG is a bit more pricy. Indies include Fire Bar and Red Point Bar (One report said to sit in sandcastle and watch redpoint girls). Smoke and Kisses. Almost like a FKK club in that you can take all girls to a room upstairs for ST sex. Only there are 1000 girls, rather than 50. Avoid the Japanese focused ones like Love Missile.
- Soi 7, 8: beer bars.
Central: These 6 streets are all near each other making up the central RLD.
- LK Metro Alley :Kink, Queen Club, Fcuk bar, Paradise, Lady Love and 25 more.
- Soi Buakhao. Lots of beer bars. Girls to pick up rather than GoGo where younger girls dance. Play Girlz. Red Hot and Blue (gents club)
- Soi Honey (aka Soi 12 between 2nd road and Buakhao): more beer bars.
- Soi Chaiyapoon (aka Soi Pothole). Bars: Maggie May(GC), Buzzin (GC), Excite, Beyond, Backyard, Green Lantern, MILF bar.
- Soi Boomerang. Heaven Above (gogo downstairs, more private upstairs), Club Fate (a GC), 10 more.
- Treetown/Soi 'Made in thailand' ending at Myth Night market. Lot's more girl bars. About 50.
- There are other beer bars all over the place e.g. Soi 13.1
South
- Walking Street. A famous punting street! A street of bars (one punter liked Opium), agogos and nightclubs with live music near the beach at the southern end of the city. Go gos, Moderate: Fahrenheit, Skyfall, Lighthouse, Chick. Top end Pin Up, XS, and of course Windmill1 & 2. Lots of touts. Most touristy, most expensive (can be 2+ times the price of Soi 6)- many expat punters avoid now. Worth a visit at least once...maybe only once.
Other areas
- Jomtien is the beach to the South. A bit more family. But still Pattaya so there is still more sex to be had than most RLD! Some Gents clubs here.
- Darkside is the area to the East of highway 3. Cheap accommodation. There are some Gent's clubs here - laid back and good value. Get a bolt or bike / scooter boy to take you, too far to walk.
Bars
- Myth Night Bar Complex
- Tree town - 50+ bars and restaraunts - not many gogos. Still, all the girls are available for take out!
- Las Vegas (opposite Soi Boomerang). About 10 bars in a shared open space with live music. Go to the back near the band - new punters tend to sit at the entrance and so it is harder to get a girl.
- Kink, as soon as you enter turn left and go up the stairs, don’t waste time downstairs. Soi LK Metro. Fully naked (fake) lesbian show.
- Heaven above. As full on as Kink.
- Angels. As soon as you go in, go up the stairs in the back. Full on.
- The Castle. A BDSM club.
Don'ts
- Russian bars on Walking Street. Avoid. 5 times the price. And no ST or LT. Aimed at rich Japanese or Arabs?
- Follow touts to a ping pong show. These will cost more than e.g. Windmill, with worse looking girls.
Hotels
Most UKP reviewer believe that all hotels (other than the big chains) are very punter friendly. These are some places mentioned in UKP threads:
- The Classroom Has its own resident escorts!
- Page 10 Quite central, near the beach.
- Inn House hotel.
- Flipper House. Soi 7 near beach.
- Just off Soi Buakhao ... Adelphi, Amber
- Sandy Spring Soi 13, near beach. Very punting friendly - the doorman and front desk are helpful.
- Have a look at Amethyst, Somerset, Bayview, The Edge Hotel, The Stay Hotel as to what 4.5* to 4* hotels are like.
Here is a list of other (non UKP) punter's escort friendly hotels. Updated late 2024!
Soapies
These are more upmarket. Choose one of usually 30 to 60 girls from a 'fish bowl'. Then in a posh room upstairs, have body on body nuru, then full sex. Must try once.
- Honey1 (central), Honey2: Soi 3 Beach Road, Honey 3: south end of Soi Buakhao. All similar but Honey 3 biggest (8 story hotel) and glossiest (would fit in Vegas)
- Sabai Dees: Soi 2 Beach Road
Massage
There are hundreds and hundreds of massage places. Most offer happy ending and many offer full sex. The sexier the girls dress , the greater the chance. But just ask - they are used to it. Many call a massage with HE a 'Special massage'. For sex, ask for full 'boom boom'. But consider a manicure or pedicure too - why not? Punter wisdome is that Soi Honey and and Soi Pothole are the most certain locations for boom boom massage. Here are some named in recent UKP reviews.
- Super Thai, Soi Buakhao
- Laung Massage, Soi Buakhao
- Sweets massage, Soi honey (1000 for FS)
Taxi
Other Tips
- Get a hotel with a balcony. Thai girls all smoke. You want them outside for it.
- Only terrible wine is available in e.g. local 7/11. Find a wine shop. (e.g. Wine Connection, The Avenue, nr Robin Hood)
Non Punting
- Tiger Park
- Ripley's Believe it or Not.
- Wat Phra Yai. Hilltop religious site with a 18 meter Buddha statue & a staircase flanked by huge dragons.
- Glass house restaurant. On the Beach in Jomtien.
- 25 degree burger bar. Restaurant on the beach in Jomtien.
- Ferry to the island (Ko Lan or sometimes called Ko Larn). 60 min trip: 30 baht. Only 4 km long yet has 8 beaches! (If you get the last ferry back at 5:30, you get a great sunset)
Cost
This is like trying to say what escorts cost in London. Impossible. Nonetheless, here is what some punters who have reviewed their trip in 2023 and 2024 report:
- Return Flight: cheapest (1 stop) £599, direct £749, Premium economy £2200
- Hotel: £50 to £100 / night. Cheaper/More expensive available of course - this is what punters on UKP normally pay.
- Girls: ST 1500-2000 Baht, LT 3500 Baht. Prices are all over, so assume bar fine is in these costs.
- Girls/day. Some punters try to increase their total 'girl spending' (including lady drinks and their beer) to a target of £240/day (10k baht/day) to make sure they don't 'waste' all the other costs. Aiming for a min spends prevent one being cheapo charlie.
Total for a week: £750 + £525 + £1600 = £3000. (rounding, clearly). Some spend double this, some much less.
No Alcohol Days
Other than elections, there are 5 'no alcohol days'. Even if you are not a drinker, this is annoying since girls bars etc are shut. Get some beers in advance and book a girl from TF! The days move around based on the lunar cycle. In 2025 Makha Bucha Day is 12 Feb, Visakha Bucha Day is 12 May, Asahna Bucha Day is 10 July, Khao Phansa (start Buddhist lent) is 11 July, and Awk Phansa (end Buddhist lent) is 7 October. And note Songkran in 2025 is 13-15 April, but in Pattaya more like 11th to 19th!
