7 Myths About Thailand’s Sex Industry Busted
Here’s another essential read for all newbies planning a visit to Bangkok’s red light districts. Up until now you’ve been googling for the best go go bars, blow job bars and and where all the hotels with Thai hookers are.
And no, I’m no mind reader. Because those were the same exact questions I had in my brain too. There were quite a few myths about the country’s sex industry floating out there that concerned me. And back then, there wasn’t as much info about Thailand’s sex industry as there are today.
Also maybe you’re smarter than I and better equipped to differentiate the bullshit. I mean, there were quite a few myths about visiting Bangkok at that time that seemed plausible.
Managing Your Expectations
When I first visited Thailand all those years ago, I had some really crazy expectations when it came to paying Thai prostitutes for sex. Because before all the information about Bangkok’s red light districts came to light on this here internet, I went by stories and hearsay from friends that went before me. A lot of word of mouth information from my friends got me all psyched up and excited for my first visit.
I was told Thai hookers would go around hotel rooms, knocking on doors to give you a chocolate mint and a blow job. If you’re outside and see a mango tree with ten mangos there’s a hooker camped beneath it.
I read on an old internet forum that I could find girls offering cheap blow jobs inside barber shops. As well has restaurants where girls feed you spicy Thai food while jerking you off. Which actually sounds unsanitary. What if you shot your jizz into your bowl of rice? But those existed about 15 years ago but not anymore.
Overall the stories and short previews my colleagues told me through word of mouth peaked my interest. Get a blow job inside a seedy bar. Awesome, where do I go sign up? She sucks you, while you suck a beer.
There were plenty of strange stores, especially these 7 myths about Bangkok’s red light districts that you can forget about and enjoy your first visit.
1. A Line of Thai Virgins Waiting, Just for You
During my late 20’s, growing up where I came from we only had rumors of Asians in my area. So the guys that visited Thailand came back with stories of having sex with young and beautiful Thai virgins. I got turned on and excited. I mean I love beaches too. But pussy even more.
I was in the midst of my prime. Horny as hell and in a shitty relationship. So telling me I could hook up with Thai virgins lining up to meet me? Shut up and take my money.
I was so desperate inside. I would’ve crawled through a floor of broken glass naked, followed by a long shower of ice cold lemon juice. Just to get a blow job by a pretty Thai girl.
I mean, we’ve had one prostitute in my home town, Ms. Boswick. But she was an hour away and twice my age. She had a reputation for great blow jobs though. I later found out her secret technique was she had no teeth. She’d pop out her dentures secretly before giving paying customers head. But, she ain’t no virgin. So I never had the pleasure.
So when I found out about Thai virgins waiting for me to pop them cherries, I bought a ticket to Thailand and never looked back.
I got off that airplane tarmac and went hunting around for cherries on the streets of Bangkok.
Bo – My First Thai Prostitute
I still remember her to this day. Her name was Bo. She was short and slim. Beautiful flawless tanned skin. Almond shaped face, beautiful doe eyes and a Hollywood smile.
She told me she came from a small village called Isaan.
Isaan?
Never heard of the place at the time. I thought Thailand was just Bangkok. She could’ve said Mars and I would’ve been just as interested in her titties. But I wanted to get down to the brass tacks.
I asked her if she’s a virgin. She hesitated, looked at me like I’m something stupid and said yes. I pumped my fist out of excitement. I never popped a cherry before.
Oy – My Second Thai Prostitute
After Bo I was looking out to bust more cherries. That’s when I met Oy, another cute Thai honey from Ayutthaya.
Ayutthawhat?
Used to be the ancient capital of Thailand. Beautiful little city, go visit.
Anyways, like Bo, when asked Oil told me she’s a virgin too. Holy shit, was I on a roll!
Bell – My Third Thai Prostitute
After Oil, I met Bell at the old Siam City Hotel in Bangkok Petchburi road. It’s torn down now but there were shit load of Thai hookers inside the hotel restaurant back then. Just like my first two ever encounters with two “virgin” prostitutes, Bell also said she has her hymen intact.
But I didn’t see any hymen while I was between her legs. I read women can lose them just by riding bicycles. Whatever.
Okay, so you get the picture. All of them weren’t virgins. It’s an up-sell method to convince horny guys to pay more. And yeah, it works. Thai hookers can tell when guys are desperate for sex. They can smell it off of your sweaty skin like you just had a 24 hour alcohol binge. You can look at it as bold face lie. But they see it as a way to fulfill customers fantasies so they tell that little white lie.
They know that once you jizz all over their titties you’re not going to be pissed at them after the fact anyways.
Bottom line is fellas, you ain’t gonna find Thai virgins. Don’t matter who tells you. Not unless you invent a time machine to hop back to your late teens. On top of that, invent a machine that turns you into a Thai dude so you can score big time with Thai university girls.
Otherwise, this ones just a big myth. So let this one go my friends, let it go.
2. Hot Thai Hookers Knocking on Hotel Doors
I heard this one from a couple of guys I met inside a beer bar in Patpong on my second trip to Bangkok. They heard it from other guys and so on and so forth. 20 years ago at the time, I thought anything was possible in Thailand’s sex industry.
At the time, I didn’t have any idea that I had to bring my own Thai hookers back to hotels in Bangkok also. I didn’t even know what a bar girl friendly hotel was until I started getting charged extra money at the reception desk.
There are lots of part time and full time Thai freelancers soliciting on the floors of Bangkok’s hotel bars and clubs. You can even find ordinary Thai girls looking to meet foreigners as well.
I’ve stayed in cheap hotels, mid-range hotels and 5 star international hotels. I suppose if there could be a chance that Thai hookers are knocking around hotel doors it would be at the cheap hotels due to lax security.
And chances are it wouldn’t be hot Thai girls on the other side of the door. But men pretending to be women.
I still get emails from guys asking me which hotels in Bangkok have Thai prostitutes. From what I gleaned from the names of the emails it’s mostly Asian guys.
There are quite a few places in Bangkok where where it’s a mixed soapy massage and “hotel” wrapped together. These places are popular with all male tour groups from China. I never wrote any reviews about those places because it’s not that special.
I do know for a fact that there are hotels in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Macau and also Malaysia where guys can find pussy, right within the hotel with bellboys acting as the go between. I mean literally just call reception and up comes a line up of girls to your doorstep. Like you’re ordering a cheeseburger and fries. Perhaps this is where all of this is coming from.
If you’re staying at any of the red light districts in Bangkok you won’t get that type of service delivery service from the hotel.
Pattaya’s red light district however has a few hotel properties with a direct link to the city’s sex industry. Because there are a few go go bars in Pattaya that operate on premise with hotels like Secrets Pattaya Hotel and the adult only Penthouse Hotel Pattaya.
Now, if there are any off chances that you’re jerking off inside your hotel room and there’s a knock at your door and you invite a hooker inside your room, you’re not just inviting a chick with a dick but some kind of different trouble.
3. Waking Up in a Bathtub Full of Ice Cubes with a Kidney Kidnapped
This one honestly scared the shit out of me when I heard about this. Who wants to have an organ stolen while overseas!?
When I was telling my officemates about my first exciting trip to Thailand solo, there was this one guy one cubicle away from me telling to watch out for kidney snatchers. He was one of the smartest guys that I knew at the time. A little weird but never made any jokes or off-color comments. He was always by the book so I took his advice seriously.
With all the years I’ve been here, I can say one thing for sure. It’s never happened to any foreigner. It’s a great backstory for a fictional movie though. I can imagine Liam Neeson as the protagonist fighting his way through a mob of goons to get back his liver.
I’m not blind to the fact that theres organ harvesting going on in some places. Here in Thailand you shouldn’t be worried about it though.
Clean the Nipples
But there’s a side story to the stolen kidney myth to keep in mind if you don’t want to get robbed. And that is to watch your drink especially if you’re with Thai freelancers. While inside your hotel room they could slip a pill into your drink and wait to rob you of cash and valuables.
I’ve read news article about Thai prostitutes lacing their nipples with drugs. So this has happened. However, it’s not happening at an epidemic scale. In any case wipe them nipples. I include it during foreplay by wetting my fingers and apply them on nipples like I’m winding a wrist watch.
4. Thai Prostitutes are Nasty, Nasty Girls
For all the millennial males reading this, you have no idea how good you’ve got it. 20 years ago, I had to buy, borrow or steal porn from my friends.
I had stacks and stacks of adult DVD’s taking up space in my closet, that I kept locked whenever people came over to visit. I was a nervous wreck whenever anyone stood too close to my closet, trying to remember if I locked the door or not.
I learned a lot from porn actresses especially the girls from Butt Berserker volumes 12-19. Mainly, that the porno actresses in the sex industry are nasty, nasty women.
I wanted to butter up and whip cream a pretty Thai girl and just go body sliding all over her tits and ass. Which never came to fruition.
I mean how the fuck am I going to explain it all to hotel housekeeping. I’d be paying for soiled bedsheets every single night.
Besides, do you know how expensive butter and canned whip cream is in Thailand?
Thai hookers don’t even like to sweat during a sex session. It messes with their makeup. And takes a lot of time to put back on properly.
Want to shoot jizz all over her face? Better tell her first so she has time to cover her eyes. Cause if you don’t it’ll ruin her fake eyelashes and mascara. Which is one surefire way to piss them off.
Thai hookers have limits to the deeds they perform. For the really freaky stuff be prepared to pay a little extra.
Threesomes
Got a buddy with you and planning a 2 guy one girl threesome for the ol’ double penetration?
It’s not going to happen in one night, especially with prettier Thai hookers. Though you’ll have a much better chance finding a 2 girl one guy three-way without a doubt.
Point is, don’t expect all Thai women working in the sex industry to perform extreme sex acts. I mean, there are specialized happy ending massage shops like Exotic Massage for a golden shower. Or getting whipped like a misbehaving slave at Analisa Massage.
Bareback Blow Jobs and Cum in Mouth
Bareback blow jobs and cum in mouth is not a guarantee.
I repeat, bareback blow jobs and cum in mouth is not a guarantee.
If you want to jizz inside her mouth, you’ve gotta ask beforehand. Rather than find out she won’t allow it when you’re all naked and ready to roll. Don’t be shy about asking. They’ve heard it all. And besides they already know you’re a pervert. No point in hiding it.
Getting Rim Jobs in Thailand
There’s nothing nastier than getting a girl’s tongue tasting a rectum. Rim jobs are popular. After writing about my experiences inside Dream Heaven Massage on Sukhumvit Soi 33 I’ve been getting a hella’ lot of comments and emails asking me about a particular rim job girl.
Compared to the rest of Asia’s sex industry, rim jobs are rare in Thailand. Thanks to our friends from the land of the Rising Sun, many Thai girls started offering rim jobs as part of their repertoire for Japanese clientele.
There is one Japanese themed happy ending massage shop called Akane (review coming soon) also on Sukhumvit Soi 33 with some ladies that’ll play with your poop shoot with their tongue.
Today rim job service in Bangkok is dwindling but you’ll come across Thai girls that won’t mind licking the corn out of your asshole. With the right price.
But would you want a Thai girlfriend after finding out she ate ass?
5. Thai People are Friendly and Forgiving
Most seasoned veterans to the red light districts of Thailand know how it really is. A lot of guide books tell you Thais are non confrontational. Always smiling and super friendly. But they’re reporting about Thai hospitality in hotels, spas and fancy restaurants. About the places honeymooners and retiring geezers frequent.
Now, for go go bars, full service massage shops, soapies and after hour clubs in Bangkok it’s generally the same. Service with a smile.
Until you behave like an asshole.
Like going too far and touching bar girls girls that don’t want it, for one reason or another. I saw a few backpacker type guys get slapped a few times because they kept touching passing bar girls’ titties.
The first slap came from the bar girls. The other few preceding slaps came from the bouncers that materialize out of thin air. Ever get hit by guys trained in muay Thai? I did and still have a limp to this day.
I swear Thai bouncers pop out of nowhere like genie out of a lamp. Hell, there could even be trapdoors beneath the bar floors where they workout, practicing leg kicks on concrete pylons, eat boiled eggs and waiting for a foreigner to get out of line.
For the newbies I understand when you’re here you think you can get away with a lot of things. Or perhaps some take it too far viewing Thai prostitutes like inanimate playthings. My advice is don’t.
You won’t win even if you’ve got fight training. They’ve got the numbers and it’s their territory. Sure, it’s a playground for adults. But there are still rules.
6. The Ol’ Walk of Shame
Okay so this is one last myth you shouldn’t be worried about. A lot of first timers think as a foreigner, they’ll look bad paying Thai hookers for sex in the eyes of Thai locals. Particularly hotel staff when they see you taking different prostitutes back to your room, every night.
Thai men pay for hookers too. Even married Thai men fool around with prostitutes. And they don’t give a rats ass what everyone else thinks about them, even when it’s their home turf.
A lot of guys curious about Thai shemales are also hesitant to be seen with one for obvious reasons. To be honest, you’ll probably get more dirty looks from foreigners when you’re with a ladyboy. In that case you can always go visit a ladyboy prostitute that can play host to avoid your own perceived embarrassment.
Why give a shit? I think as long as you’re doing no harm you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about being with a sex worker. We’re not going to be here forever. So enjoy the ride!
7. It’s No Fun if You’re Going Alone
The only way you’re not going to have fun is if you’re a complete introvert. Sure, having a group of your best buddies along in the red light districts of Thailand could be great fun. But it’s not necessary. I know and see plenty of solo travelers having a great time, if not a much better time than a group.
I know a lot of you will be like nervous shits before you step off that plane you arrived onto Bangkok. But there’s nothing to worry about. Manage your expectations. The red light districts of Thailand are safe with plenty of like minded sex tourists surrounding you. You’ll see. So don’t worry and have fun!

Hi Jim,
I have an upcoming travel in March for business. Might as well use the trip for pleasure! That being said, I have heard a lot of talk on TV about the Coronavirus situation in Bangkok. Is it really that bad as they mention on TV? Any recommendations from your end? I definitely need to get laid and need your expert advice.
Jimmy

It’s not that bad from my experience. There are still plenty of people out and about. People are definitely more wary and cautious. But life goes on as they say Johny, cheers!

Hi Jimmy,
First of all thank you very much for your super detailed website, you sir do us all a great service.
I am however curious if you’ve stacked Pattaya v Bangkok v Phuket and if so which one you think is best for the hooker experience.
Thanks,
Malcom
Jimmy
October 29, 2019 @ 2:15 pm
Great question Malcom, my personal preference is Bangkok and I’m not being biased because I live here. However, it’s difficult to compare one city full of prostitutes to another.
I prefer to look at what types of “services” I can receive at a certain city. Bangkok is definitely a bigger adult playground and much more easier to travel around, followed by Pattaya. Phuket is my least favorite red light district but I do enjoy the beaches there.
But in Phuket I noticed the working girls aren’t in a hurry. It could be they are used to guys sticking with them for more than a few days at a time. Whenever I’m in Phuket I never really thought about it but I’d pick a girl and I’m usually with her for 2, 3 days sometimes a little bit more. Same with my friends. It could be the laid back atmosphere which makes guys lazy to go look around for different girls.

I always love reading these kind of posts and after reading it, I like to reflect it to my own experiences. And after reading the blog, I want to share my walk of shame moment.
I’m lucky not to have fallen for any scams/traps so far, but did had to do a rather uncomfortable “date of shame”. I ended up with a very kinky lady within 10 hours of landing (first time ever I didn’t plan something like this) and a great steamy session. The shame part came the next morning a few hours before my setup date with a sweet “innocent” office worker. (Ohw, how i love internet dating)
I stood in front of the mirror seeing not one, but three marks, 2 near my neck and 1 near my nipples. Not what you’d call ideal before a date.
Good thing I remembered my college days, whipped out a coin and started scraping my neck. Trying to hide it, which obviously didn’t work. So when the date came around I made it my first priority to make sure to tell her about the mark and not wait for her to find out. This is where the second part of the plan comes in, own a dog. I showed her pictures of my dog with her paws right up to my neck, I told her this was from 2 days ago when I flew to Bkk and showed her the damage “my dog” caused to my neck. Either she was dumb as hell, or didn’t care, but she instantly felt bad and gone full female care mode. The date itself went quite good and as to be expected. My date experience in Thailand is to play a long game, most girls I been with don’t want to jump into bed straight away. So there usually is a second or even third date. And by the time she and I jumped into bed, the neck damage was almost gone and the nipple mark was no where to be found. And as a bonus, you just pay for the date once or twice, after that many benefits come for free for the remainder of your trip.
So yeah, the walk of shame and I and very well acquainted.

Hi Pim, sounds like you had yourself an amazing experience! A long while back I dated a girl that loved to dig her nails into my back. Lucky I hid it well from my wife. Thanks for sharing, cheers!

Got scammed today!!! It was 100% my fault but my reflexes minimized the damages as I got suspicious.
Long story sort I exchanged 400 euros around 13500 baht (baht is strong nowadays). And when I got at my hotel I forgot to leave the money. This is where my fault lies. Never go out with more than you are willing to spend.
So I’m at Hooters in Nana checking the scenery, when a blonde with big tits gets my attention. We agree on price 1500 baht and I agree to go to the ST rooms in Nana (3rd floor). This is probably my second mistake as I always take them to my hotel. But I was impatient (hotel is 15 min walk from Asoke BTS).
ST Room in Nana was like a brothel fuckhole (bed and a crude room with toilet and shower all together). I go to shower first because no room for 2 people and she closed the door because “water was going in the room”. I got immediately suspicious and left the water running and peeked through the door to see her going through my clothes. I tell her don’t do that it’s wrong and she backed off (or so I thought). I went to close the water and grab a towel when I heard a noise which didn’t register at that point (it was the noise of bills yanked from a wallet)
Anyway she takes a shower and then we tried to fuck, but I was no longer in the mood and she was to pushy to finish quickly. I gave up and said Ce la vie and proceeded to pay giving her 2k but she said she did not have any change. But then I realized something and I took the money back saying I will make change at the receptionist.
What did I realize? That I was missing 2000 baht!!! (That noise I mentioned earlier). I knew exactly how much I had on me. My wallet has 2 compartments for banknotes so I put 10k on one and the rest on the other one as it was the amount I was planning to spend that evening. Money was missing from the 10k lot.
I confront her about it when we are outside the room on the “receptionist” desk. She started saying search me (and talking in Thai with receptionist) and I calmly say I will call the police and start fiddling with my phone. Then she says that I was like that because I did not cum. And that was it pretty much, we leave with no big scene or drama.
Which is why I am 100% sure stole the money. Prostitutes get paid for the time they spend with johns not whether a “happy ending” was achieved. If I was lying and trying not to pay I would be surrounded with bouncers in no time.
Anyway I got off real cheap. She stole 2k (but I did not pay her the agreed 1500). So I only lost 500 baht. What is worse is that she ruined my evening.
Jimmy
August 28, 2019 @ 1:07 pm
Wow, that’s crazy what happened to you. That’s not considered a scammed though. It’s more like the prostitute robbed you. So anyone reading this keep an eye out and be cautious of any blonde Thai girls. Thanks for sharing your crazy experience! Cheers!

Hey Jim, how are you?
Wondering if you have ever been to Ez Massage 1 & 2? What’s your thoughts about them?
Jimmy
August 23, 2019 @ 3:07 pm
Hey Joe, I’m doing fine. Yes, I’ve been to both. Typically I don’t write about places I don’t like too much. That’s not to say you shouldn’t go there. I just don’t like to shit on businesses, especially a tough to operate business like these massage shops.
I’ve dropped in a few times ever so often to see if they have new girls. I didn’t see any.
I recommend you should drop in too. Maybe you’ll find a girl that fits your preference. And let me know if you’ve had a good time there. Thanks for commenting!
Joe
August 23, 2019 @ 3:53 pm
That’s ok Jim, I’ve never been there so wondering about their quality of girls and services, is it a one or two shot place etc… if you don’t want shit on the business publicly, maybe you can email me about your thoughts instead.
Keep on posting there, Jim! Great blog.

Jimmy:
Not sure if you know this, and slightly off topic, but do any freelancers hang out inside the luxury hotels on or near a Sukhumvit, or at the hotel bars? In particular, Hyatt Regency, in lobby or up top at Spectrum? Maybe those chains don’t really allow that? Staying at Hyatt Regency in Sept., assuming I’m able to fly through HK at that time.
Jimmy
August 7, 2019 @ 10:08 am
There are freelancers inside luxury hotel bars. But from my experience they’re usually in their mid 30’s and older. I guess older prostitutes feel more comfortable in those types of environments. While younger freelancers have lower self-esteem.
As long as freelance prostitutes aren’t making it too obvious they’re working hookers they shouldn’t have any issues getting inside a luxury hotel bar.
