Pattaya is a large beach city in on [[Guide_to_Punting_in_Thailand|Thailand]]’s eastern Gulf coast. It is on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast of Bangkok. It was a quiet fishing village as recently as the 1960s. It’s now lined with resort hotels, high-rise condos, shopping malls, cabaret bars and 24-hour clubs. Nearby is hillside Wat Phra Yai Temple features an 18m-tall golden Buddha. The area also features several designer golf courses, some with views of Pattaya Bay. 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).

===[[Go Go bars, Music bars and Nightclubs|Overview of venues]]===

* Girl bars. These are bars where you can meet the staff is all girls, you buy them drinks, and take them for Short term (ST) or Long term (LT). You can chat and play pool or connect four for a while as long as you buy them drinks every so often. Some have rooms upstairs for ST(almost all on Soi 6 do). In Pattaya, many are outdoor bars.* [[Go Go bars, Music bars and Nightclubs| Go Go go bars ]] (a.k.a. Agogos). Like girls girl bars, but indoors and there is a pole dancing or exotic show. Some have 20 girls dancing. You can take girls ''to '' go go gos 's - some like it. Every girl you see is an escort.* Gentleman's Clubs. Tend to have a more laid back approach - somewhat older WGs girls although still some lookers - and typically less pressure to play the lady drink game. Many of the Most GCs have curtained off areas for sex or BJ for few hundred baht (maybe 1200 for sex) with escorts of your choosing. In manysome, you can have a blowjob on the couch with no curtain if you are not shy. Most have a couple of ST rooms upstairs. 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 72 in Pattaya (out of 5,000 bars) - 10 of which are owned by him.* Nightclubs. Full on, with locals, freelancers and bar girls who are done their shift. Some older punters avoid these. Notable on Walking Street are Marine(Classic, Spacious), Lucifer(Infernal, Dual Energy), Insomnia(Modern, Polished), 808(Upscale, Loud), Myst(Hip-Hop, Spectacular), Republic(Luxurious, Energetic), and RepublicThe Pier(huge, high-energy).* Beach road at night. Street walkers. Not sleezy sleazy - some are girls whose shift ended at bar or office.* Massage shops and soapies. Most of the girls will have sex with you for extra. In a soapy, sex is expected, so included in the price. Pure Massage on Soi Pothole named on this forum for great time and FS. Laong Massage on Soi Buakhao (opposite Rum Runner) for best value massage with BJ at 700B.Of course there is huge overlap, and each place may have its own quirks. [[Go Go bars, Music bars and Nightclubs]] for a page on this topic.* Freelance Bars. Not many - most girls lurking about are extended bar staff! And One notable is Billabong on topSoi LK Metro. Others possible are Triangle, Candy Bar, there are massage parlours Bamboo and soapiesthe Cocktail Car at entrance to Treetown. Strangely, in some places, they still might ask you to pay a barfine, so the difference is small.

'''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. The 3 GoGos are Dolls, Panda(upstairs) and MJ.

'''Central''': These 5 6 streets are all near each other making up the central RLD.* LK Metro Alley :Kink, Queen Club, Fcuk bar, Paradise, Lady Love , Angels and 25 more.

* 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. The gents club soiHeaven 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(aka Soi Yamato) and Soi 13.2 (aka Soi Post Office), Soi 13.4 (formally Pattayaland 2).Currently, Soi LK Metro has 18 gogo bars and 21 beer bar style bars. Not Walking Street, but enough choice for many. The main RLD on the '''South end'''* Walking Street. A famous punting street! A street of bars, Top-end agogos and nightclubs with live music near the beach at the southern end of the city. Also walk up Soi Diamond and Soi 15. Go gos: Moderate: Fahrenheit, Skyfall, Lighthouse, Chick. Top end Pin Up, XS, Sapphire (for hottest spinners) and of course Windmill1 Windmill 1 & 2(for hands on). Also Baccara (Two floors), Peppermint, Airport,Iron Club (Good shows). 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. Also Sensations, and Sapphire.

* 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, such as CatFlaps.* Darkside is the area to the East of highway 3. Cheap accommodation. There are some Gent's clubs here - laid back and good value. There is a small cluster on Khao Talo. Get a bolt or bike / scooter boy to take you, too far to walk.* Soi Bong Koch is the far side of 3rd rd, but not as far as Darkside. You can walk from the end of Soi Pothole. Eight GC's here. Juicy Lucy, Club Sin, Club 007 and a five others. Good in the afternoon. These have a doorbell to press for entrance - don't let that put you off. Go for it.

* Las Vegas (opposite Soi Boomerang)on Soi Diana. 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.

* SeeMe Spring Too hotel on Soi 10 near beach. Next to SeeMe Spring and SeeMe Spring Tree. One, too, tree.Here is a list of other (non UKP) punter's [https://www.pattayaunlimited.com/girl-guest-friendly-central-pattaya-hotels/ escort friendly hotels]. Updated late 2024Sept 2025!

* Honey1 (centralSoi Honey) (Is the street named after this place?), . 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 in Vegas)

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 wisdom is that Soi Honey and and Soi Pothole are the most certain locations for boom boom massage.

* Sweets massage, Soi honey (1000 for FS). Also Paradise Massage and UpToYou Massage on Soi Honey.

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 2026 Makha Bucha Day is 12 Feb3rd March, Visakha Bucha Day is 12 1 May, Asahna Bucha Day is 10 29th July, Khao Phansa (start Buddhist lent) is 11 30th July, and Awk Phansa (end Buddhist lent) is 7 24th October.  And note '''Songkran in 2025 2026 is 13-15 April, but in Pattaya more like 10th 11th to 18th19th!'''
