Pattaya bar girls ,No money, no honey -

[TEE10]

Pattaya is all about sex. So say some, and while there is much more
to the city, the whole Pattaya bar girls scene is one of its chief
attractions. For sure the city is full of bars full of girls and
Pattaya has long been the ‘naughty’ centre of Thai tourism. We prefer
to promote Pattaya for its more wholesome attractions but recognise
that a large number of visitors are attracted to Pattaya for the girls.
By day or night the sois off Beach road are full of girls hanging out
of bars waiting for customers, there’s nothing discreet about it, yet
it’s all relaxed and without the sleazy atmosphere.

What are you looking at?




Bar girls in Pattaya mostly come from the poor Northeast region, and
some are very sexy indeed. No matter where they are from, they are all
here to make money, and help visitors to have a good time. If you can
understand those two rules then you’ll both be satisfied; it’s all
pretty casual and open, there are no pimps and bouncers and expensive
entry fees or strict rules. But the girls do expect some respect and a
safe environment. The culture of acceptance in Thailand means that
prostitution thrives because many girls from poor backgrounds find that
the skin trade in Thailand isn’t an entirely unpleasant way of making a
lot more money than they could working in a factory. Although their
parents would never know what they are up to, the family back home
certainly benefits from the generous remittances, for which a Thai girl
can gain that all important respect.

So what we have is a bustling coastal town brimmed with activity and
most notably in the neon glare of night. Hundreds of bars line Pattaya
beachfront and side streets and inside most of them will be a number of
girls somewhere between a few or a hundred. The girls are generally
forthcoming and apparently confident as they compete with fellow
workers for the evening’s business. Many of the bars are rough, dingy
affairs with girls sitting around drinking, or involved in a lame but
playful conversation with a potential customer.

Can you bring girls back to your hotel?
Some hotels don't mind you bringing bar girls back to your room as
long as you are discreet, while other forbid it or will try to charge
you extra. To save you the embarrassment we've enquired with all of
them and listed those that are suitable for bachelors, see the list, rates and booking here (opens in a new window)



Other bars of the go-go variety have a number of girls dancing
scantily clad to a bass line which rules out conversation, while some
places go for a veneer of elegance with lesbian-style strip shows to
slower, more dramatic music. Late at night, the big nightclubs in the
centre of town are jammed with girls who have finished working in their
bar or others who are known as ‘freelancers’.

Bars with girls can be found in most areas of Pattaya but the main
concentration is around Walking Street near the beach and all the sois
(smaller streets) running off the main Beach Road. Pattaya 2 Road also
has its share of establishments while Soi Buakaow has a growing appeal.
A little further down the coast at Jomtiem Beach, there are again an
array of mainly open-air bars with smiling young girls offering
compliments and a welcome to both wallet and customer.

No money, no honey - the girls mean business




Throughout Pattaya, the usual modus operandi is then to buy a girl a
‘lady drink’ and then engage in some kind of informal chat. If both
parties appear keen to leave together, the bar is then paid a ‘fine’,
usually somewhere between 200 and 700 baht, and then the girl’s fee is
often open to negotiation. Girls in Pattaya provide a service for as
little as 500 baht on a short time (few hours) basis and would usually
accept no less than double this to stay overnight (long time). A lot of
these girls are not short of business sense though and they can obtain
much higher fees than this from most customers.

The Pattaya bar girls are forward, suggestive and there to empty
your wallet, but in a friendly sort of way. Thailand is cheap enough
that buying a few drinks (slightly more expensive for the girls and in
the girlie bars) won’t break the bank, so it’s worth moving around,
sharing a drink with several until you are comfortable with one
particular girl’s company. They are experts at making you feel like a
million bucks, and their ultimate objective is to get you to invite
them back to your hotel, so don’t be decieved by the friendliness of
the very first girl you meet because they are all like this. In fact
the older and uglier you are the more attention you can expect, for
these are the customers that they usually can negotiate easiest with
for a high price. Thais are naturally friendly and fun-loving, which is
all part of their charm.
