Where to Find Thai Prostitutes in Bangkok

After arriving into Bangkok, you may be wondering:

“Where do I go find Thai hookers?”

Bangkok is a big city with 5 red light districts. Most first timers to Bangkok’s nightlife areas think go go bars are the only places where they can find sexy Thai women to pick up and pay for sex.

While go go bars are prime areas to find Thai hookers, the real fact is that there are many types of working girls in Bangkok. Many Thai prostitutes work full time and part time that you can pay to have sex with.

Without the need to step foot inside a go go bar. And they are not just confined to the red light districts we know about. Thai ladies working in the pay for play scene go wherever the money trail is.

Which is central Bangkok. Where sex tourists around the world stay in the red light districts. Close to the go go bars of Patpong in the Silom district, and Soi Cowboy with Nana Entertainment Plaza in the Sukhumvit district.

For tourists finding a Thai lady of the night in the red light districts is easy…

Street hookers are readily available between Sukhumvit Soi 4 right by Nana Entertainment Plaza and Asoke road by Soi Cowboy. Those are the primary areas for Thai freelancers working the streets. And it’s no coincidence that many foreign tourists walk on those same streets, staying at the hotels in those areas.

Finding prostitutes in Bangkok is easier today than it was back when I was first here. Which is why most sex tourists today have it so much easier in the red light districts in Bangkok. There are places where guys can find full service quickie sex for as little as 1600THB for 30 minutes inside a massage parlor. Or a 40 minute bare back blow job with cum in mouth for 1300THB.

Most of the city’s red light districts where men find sex are confined in certain parts of the city. All are connected via the BTS Sky Train and MRT subway systems. And Bangkok is a very tourist friendly city with plenty of English signs clearly marking destinations.

Technically Prostitution is Illegal in Thailand – But When You’re There You Can’t Really Tell

Though prostitution is not only confined to areas where foreigners mainly visit. It is a part of Thai culture and has been for the longest time. And technically the sale of sex is illegal. But because prostitution has been integrated into Thai society for so many years it is tolerated and even regulated.

Good girls or bad girls?

I live just a little bit off from Sukhumvit where very few foreigners live. And there are certain spots where street prostitutes hang around. And their customers are mainly if not all local Thai men.

You will not find Thai customers inside Bangkok’s go go bars. But Thai men do visit soapy massage parlors that are found up and down Huay Kwang and on the outskirts of the city.

You can find many types of prostitutes in Bangkok. The most obvious are bar girls working inside go go bars. Followed by freelancers (street walkers, hookers).

And you can pretty much label any girl working inside an oily massage parlor that provides “testicles massage” and body to body in soapy massage parlors prostitutes too.

Bar girls and customers at Soi Cowboy
Soi Cowboy is just a tip of the iceberg in Bangkok’s red light districts…

It is possible to set a reasonable budget and still have a reasonable good time with a Thai girl. And if you’re wondering what is the least amount you can pay for full sex I would place the price around 1500THB.

That would be with a Thai freelancers on Sukhumvit road because you don’t have to pay a bar fine (500THB to 600THB) to a bar and drinks are optional.

But you can’t expect to hook up with a decent looking sexy Thai prostitute for less than 1000THB and expect a great experience. Just like anywhere else in the world Thai prostitutes are firstly business people and secondly opportunists.

It’s impossible to find an attractive Thai girl offering herself up for 500THB for 1 hour in Bangkok. I don’t care where you’ve heard or read it.

Most of the women working in Thailand’s commercial sex industry come from farms in the poorest regions of the country. They are not stupid and will try to make the most money they can in the shortest amount of time from you.

Thai girls at a bar
Bars and clubs within Sukhhumvit Bangkok are still businesses where men can meet Thai girls…

So you can negotiate with the girls. But don’t be disappointed if she won’t accept a low ball amount. And this is something I would like to stress. It is true that the cost of sex in Bangkok is cheaper compared to the West.

Hotels are cheaper. Food and drinks are cheaper. However, if you want an attractive looking sexy Thai girl at a go go bar or freelancer you can expect to pay 3 time more money to have sex with them.

And even then, Bangkok is still the best city for single guys or for having a guys night out at the red light districts in Bangkok.

How to Tell a Good Girl From a Bad Girl

Most definitely bad girls!

There are a certain segment of Thai women hunting for foreigners. Whether they are full time prostitutes or simply Thai ladies looking for a foreign boyfriend is a different story. But the endgames the same.

So how can you tell the difference between a good girl or a bad girl?

Thai women are conservative as dictated by society. So women in Thailand typically dress conservatively and won’t show so much skin.

Sure they want to look beautiful and sexy. They don’t want to look slutty either. But bar girl prostitutes have to dress up as eye candy. Like a fisherman’s bait because they want to attract possible customers. The sluttier they dress the more guys’ eyes they’ll catch.

Tight mini skirts, a revealing top with push up bra, a fierce looking tattoo or two strategically placed on their bodies are usually a key sign that they are prostitutes.

Girls in Bangkok
Good girls or bad girls?

Where they hang out, especially at night is a big deciding factor too. For example at the parking lot of the NANA Hotel. Or inside the Thermae Bar. And especially inside Club Insanity.

It’s not unusual at all to see Thai prostitutes non-nonchalantly strolling around through malls in tourist centric areas. So in MBK mall and Siam Paragon during the afternoons you can find them, twirling their hair and watching foreign men passing by.

They will often sit alone or with friends somewhere where they can be seen, like at a coffee shop or cafe. They certainly will not approach any man directly.

However, if you are certain that she’s a hooker by the tell tale signs then you can at least try and make eye contact. If she sees you and smiles back then it’s probably safe to make the approach for a chat.

This is especially true at a mainstream bar. Sometimes it can be hard to tell a good girl from a bad girl at a bar where Thai locals and foreigners mingle. The worst thing you can do is go up to a Thai lady and chat her up while her Thai boyfriend is not too far off. That’s just asking for an ass kicking.

Thai girls who are not in the pay for play scene will not even look at your direction for a short period of time. Good Thai girls are aware of sex tourists who only want to have sex and leave.

Ladies in bar in Bangkok
Good girls or bad girls?

Even though prostitution is tolerated in Thailand, hookers are usually a different caste and frowned upon by Thai society. So if you mistake a hi-society good girl (hi-so) for a hooker you’d better make sure she doesn’t have a drink on her hand or a boyfriend with a bunch of friends.

Now I sincerely hope that if you feel that the lady is not a hooker then you should back off and not make the attempt. The worst thing you can do is sully a girls reputation. Plus not to mention severely embarrassing yourself.

Finding Thai Hookers in Bars, Clubs and Discos

3 Thai Girls in Club Insanity...
Club Insanity on Sukhumvit Soi 11 is one of the best clubs to find freelance Thai prostitutes in Bangkok…

Just like in many mainstream nightlife venues in the West, there are many Thai hookers putting a front in Bangkok’s music and dance venues. Also from my experiences, Thai hookers I find in Thai clubs and discos are the best places to find a couple of Thai girls for a threesome.

Many of these Thai ladies are part time freelancers, meaning they could have a day job somewhere as a bank teller, a make-up artists at the department store or even a university student badly in need of cash. By night they switch over to prostitution to make extra money for that new luxury Italian hand bag or iPhone.

However, there are only certain bars, clubs and discos where you’ll find these semi-professional hookers. They go where the foreigners go look for pussy. But they don’t just go to any old bar. They mostly go to upscale clubs where drinks cost more because they want customers with money.

That said, you’ll also find Thai hookers partying inside after hours clubs with a mix of part time and full time Thai prostitutes.

You’ll also be able to find go go bar girls inside after hours clubs to make some more money.

Currently, one of the best after hours clubs in Bangkok you should visit is Club Insanity. I particularly like going to Club Insanity because Thai prostitutes go in with their friends. Which is a great picking ground to set up a threesome in Bangkok.

Where to Find Thai Virgins in Bangkok?

This is one of those questions I frequently get in my email box. Truth is, whether you want it or not, is you won’t find Thai girls with their cherries intact prostituting themselves at any of the red light districts of Bangkok.

I would say there’s zero percent chance you’ll find a virgin working in the go go bars and massage parlors. You can perhaps find prostitutes that had sex a couple of times with their Thai boyfriends.

Yet still ended up working in the sex industry to make a living. So maybe you can consider them half virgins.

Virgin Meme
Don’t fall for any Thai girl claiming they’re virgins on social media…

If you’ve been scouring around Facebook and friending totally strange Thai girls with questionable profiles that promise they’re virgins, it’s a lie my friends.

Perhaps this is just one of the reasons why I get emails asking me how much they should pay for Thai virgin girls in Bangkok.

They might look like they’re dressed like sexy Thai university girls but I promise you it’s just to lure you in.

So don’t come to Thailand expecting to find any virgin girls.

Finding Prostitutes Inside Bangkok Hotels

Outside of Ruamchitt Hotel

Hotels are the classic places to pick up prostitutes. You would think that every single hotel in Bangkok have Thai call girls just waiting around inside hotel bars. But no, that’s not true. Well not exactly.

There are certain hotels in Bangkok with girls you can pick up without stepping outside the hotel.

3 Hotels in Bangkok with Prostitutes

  • The Ruamchitt Plaza Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 15. Inside the basement level is a bar called Thermae which I covered extensively here on my Ultimate Guide to Bangkok’s Red Light Districts. Thai prostitutes are found inside with Thai ladyboys hanging around outside of the Ruamchitt. Ladyboys are barred from the Ruamchitt.
  • The Rajah Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 4 located near Nana Entertainment Plaza. The Rajah is best known for Russian prostitutes. 2000THB for 1 hour gets you play time with ladies from the former Soviet Eastern Bloc.
  • Grace Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 3 is also not far from Nana Entertainment Plaza. Grace Hotel is where you can find African, Arab and Russian prostitutes. It’s not the best hotel but it’s a hotel in Bangkok with girls nonetheless.

So there you have 3 pick up spots in Bangkok with prostitutes inside hotels.

Thai Ladyboy Prostitutes

A report about prostitutes in Bangkok won’t be complete if I didn’t have a section dedicated to Thai ladyboys. Thailand’s third gender plays a big role in the country’s commercial sex industry and every year it seems to get bigger.

Head inside Nana Entertainment Plaza and you’ll find more all ladyboy gogo bars than ever. To make it worse some gogo bars like London Calling and Diamond Bangkok have a mix of real girls and ladyboys which will certainly cause a lot of confusion for first time visitors.

Wise words…

Patpong red light district originally had the most ladyboy gogo bars but today Nana Entertainment Plaza has overtaken Patpong’s status as the most bars with chicks with dicks.

Or to be more precise, men with tits.

Whether you’re here to play with real Thai girls or not, it’s best to keep your feelings to yourself if you don’t agree with the lifestyles of the third gender. In Thailand, there’s no such thing as gay bashing.

Terminal 21 Mall in Bangkok's Sukhumvit District

Okay so here’s just one of the many interesting places in Bangkok where you can find prostitutes. And I am strictly speaking from experience.

If you want to look for Thai girls in the pay for play scene during your lunch time, go to Terminal 21 Shopping Mall.

I’m not kidding around, inside the food court on the fifth floor you will see Thai ladies sitting often in groups with empty plates on the table. They’re not always sitting at the same table.

Yes, I know, that alone does not mean they are hookers. Because there are lots of people inside eating, locals and tourists alike.

Terminal 21 Mall Food Court
I discovered that Terminal 21 could be a potential pick up ground, keep your eyes open…

I had some friends visiting me and they were staying at a hotel nearby. And the food court at Terminal 21 was our meeting point.

So every afternoon I was there for a week. And I got 3 phone numbers from Thai girls that are now in my booty call list.

How did I do this you may ask? Listen, Thai girls working in the freelance sex industry in Bangkok know a white guy is an out of towner.

Even my Asian buddies from Japan and Singapore always get picked out by the Thai ladies looking for customers.

First thing to do: Make eye contact
Second thing to do: Smile

If the girls reciprocate they may come over to you. Or, they may wave you to come over to them. That’s exactly what happened to me. And I’m not a good looking guy.

It’s because they know they’ve got something that I’m willing to pay.

Also a good idea to whip out your smart phone and open up your WeChat app. Don’t know what that is? You’ll find out below.

Thai Call Girls and Wine Snobs

Wine bars are one of the places I’ve picked up Thai freelancers. It doesn’t happen all the time because it’s a gamble for ladies trying to find customers inside wine bars and restaurants where they have to spend their own cash.

The reason why Thai prostitutes hang out in wine bars is because they are looking for “refined” men who have money to pay for expensive swill. Makes sense from a hooker’s stand point.

There’s a reason why single Thai women are starting to hang out in wine bars. Wait a second those are ladyboys….

One time I met this cute Thai girl having a glass of wine on her own. Yes, I know that doesn’t mean she’s a prostitute.

But I do the same thing I did whenever I’m over at Terminal 21’s food court.

First thing to do: Make eye contact
Second thing to do: Smile

You wait for what happens next as the balls in her court. If she keeps looking back at you, smiling, giggling and acting sexy and all then you’ve got the green light to make your move.

I’m speaking from first hand experience again. I don’t score a goal all of the time. Sometimes I look briefly and smile at a single Thai lady drinking wine alone and I don’t get a reaction. So I back off.

Starbucks on Sukhumvit Nana Soi 4 is also a regular place of business you can possibly find some Thai companionship the same way. It’s the same thought process.

They figured if you can spend $5USD for a cup of coffee then you’re mister money bags.

Finding Thai Hookers with WeChat

wechatlogoI always make it clear that a mobile smart phone is one of the most valuable tools you’ll need if you plan on hooking up with a lot of Thai women in Thailand. Whether they be hookers or just normal Thai ladies for a date.

You can keep the phone numbers of ladies you’ve had sex with or can always save the phone numbers of girls you’re planning to have sex with.

With loads of chat apps for the cell phone these days it’s quite easy to get a hooker to meet up with you while you’re taking a dump or jerking off.

These days, I recommend guys download a mobile phone app called WeChat. Chances are, you probably have it already. With this app you can locate Thai hookers and ladyboys.

WeChat has a “Discover” people nearby function that allows users to find other WeChat users by distance. A lot of hookers have figured out that it’s a perfect way to find new customers.

Now I’m going to point out that not every single user you find on the discover function are ladies in the sex industry. You’ll just have to sort out which ones are not and which ones will allow you to bang them for the right price.

To do that, be sure to check out their profiles. Some for instance will have cutesy lines like “looking for a good time” or “I need a boyfriend. Do you need a girlfriend?” and these profile lines are usually in English.

Then take a look at the profile photo album if you see them flashing their tits it’s a good sign they are prostitutes.

Bangkok's Chinatown - Yes You Can Find Cheap Thai Hookers There

Here’s one area in Bangkok that is way, waaaay off the sex tourists’ grid. But worth checking out. Especially if you’re looking for cheap sex in Bangkok.

At first I was a little hesitant writing about this subject. Things will be difficult when you can’t speak Thai. And the Thai prostitutes are selling themselves way out in Chinatown because they can’t speak English.

Thai hookers working around in Bangkok’s Chinatown are mainly picked up by local Thai men. Or brave sex tourists.

All they do is sit on plastic stools on the sidewalk. And they are wearing tight shorts and revealing tops. Certain blocks have like 5 ladies and some have two or three, just sitting on plastic stools and waving at Thai men passing on the street.

This isn’t my photo but some guy took it and it’s a perfect presentation of what you’ll find in Bangkok’s Chinatown at night…

Thai pimps are present too and in my experience are harmless. Until you act like an asshole I suppose.

Chinatown hookers in Bangkok charge 2000THB for long time and you can stay over in their apartment. Even though my friend told me it was completely safe I didn’t feel comfortable so I settled for short time 500THB!

I want to add that the hooker I paid short time for wasn’t hot. She said she was in her early 30’s. But she’s a very pretty girl though. Otherwise I would’ve just went home. She had a baby as I could tell from her stomach which has creases.

And you have to bring your own condoms.

I went with a Thai friend of mine so I wasn’t charged extra. We were shit drunk but it was an experience I will never forget because I’m not going back.

If you’re going to do a search for more useful information about Thai hookers in Chinatown’s Bangkok you won’t find any.

Most of the girls are on the heavy side but I suppose once in awhile a winner can be found. At least that’s what my Thai buddy says. Which is why I went once. But I never went back again.

Bangkok has 5 Red Light Districts

So there’s a lot of places where you can find and pay Thai prostitutes for sex in Bangkok. There’s no doubt about that.

Which is why you don’t need to go to any crazy places, especially if you’re not familiar with the city or can’t speak the language. Not that the city is dangerous. It’s just that you might end up wasting your time.

A break down of all 5 red light districts in Bangkok

Here on my ultimate guide to Bangkok’s red light districts I’ll pinpoint all the spots you need to know about. But as always, if I ever find a new place that is easy to find and get to, I’ll let you all know about it from my blog posts.

There a Lot of Places to Find Thai Prostitutes in Bangkok - But Not For You

Finding prostitutes in Thailand could be endless. This is especially true if you’re a Thai man. It’s not unheard of for Thai fathers to take their sons to neighborhood brothels when their boys come of age and become men.

When I was 18 my dad gave me an old stethoscope hoping I’d follow his steps to become a surgeon. Was I disappointed.

Sorry, back to finding prostitutes in Bangkok.

Where Thai Men Buy Pooty Tang

What you experience in the 5 red light districts of Bangkok is just the tip of the iceberg. If you’re reading this and it’s going to be your first visit to Bangkok’s red light districts you’ll primarily be focused on Soi Cowboy or Nana.

For Thai men there are many smaller pockets of red light districts throughout Bangkok and the surrounding provinces where they can pay to have sex with Thai prostitutes.

Graphics on where Thai men find sex in Thailand
In Thailand, Thai men have more options for finding prostitutes.

One time my Thai friends invited me to this huge open air restaurant out in the boonies. It was kilometers away from central Bangkok with rice paddies as far as the eye could see.

On the outset it looks like your average ordinary redneck Thai restaurant. There are tables to eat, a stage for music and live band.

But guess what? Most of the servers are young girls. Not underaged girls, but I saw a lot of 18 year old girls. Don’t think I saw anyone older than 30 years old if I recall correctly. It’s definitly the types of joints Thai men go and there were lady customers coming in with men. But let’s just say it’s definitely not a family place.

Guess what, if you fancy one you can take her back to your place. I didn’t do it. I guess I didn’t have the balls to do it. As the only foreigner in the entire place I didn’t feel all too comfortable.

Especially when they picked a few girls to line up in front of me for drinking. Which was fine with me. But that was as far as I went. I didn’t need to go further.

And to tell you the truth, I didn’t have to because I could fall back onto the red light districts in Bangkok.

Thailand’s Sex Industry Really is Not All Sunshine and Rainbows

There are women being forced into prostitution in Thailand. There is absolutely no doubt about it and I don’t deny it. And I can proudly say I’ve never been to a brothel where women are forced into it. I never will.

While all of Thailand’s sex workers within the designated foreigner only red light districts are free to work and free to leave.

I guess this is as good as anytime to bring up that if you are ever in a situation knowing there is a girl, boy or ladyboy that is underaged or forced into prostitution anywhere, don’t do it.
