How To Deal With A Bar Girl - Here You'll Get A Glimpse Of What Happens Inside A Gogo Bar

“Hey mister! Where you come from?” You’re going to hear that a lot while wandering around a red light district.

Okay listen up. One major rule as a first timer to Bangkok’s red light districts is to never behave like a first timer to Bangkok’s red light districts. Make any sense?

Let’s say you come across a go go bar that catches your interest.

When you go inside don’t stand around with your jaws dropped wide open while drooling. Get yourself onto a seat if a waitress hasn’t seated you yet. Best place to sit is near the front of the stage. That’s where all the prettiest girls gyrate around a pole on stage. They are positioned there to specifically lure men passing by the entrance. You’ll notice that all the unattractive ladies are near the back stage, where it’s least well lit.

You’re required to buy yourself a drink such as a beer. Beers in go go bars such as Singha, a popular local Thai brand will cost you around 140 Baht. They’ll only allow you to stay for a few minutes to take in the scene so if you don’t buy you better hit the road.

When you see a bar girl you like, find her number tag. It’s clearly visible on her top or bottom bikini. Alternatively you can give her a long eye contact. Not a creepy eye contact but a friendly one with a smile. Or you can wave at her. If she’s free she’ll sit next to you.

Of course choosing a girl is up to each and every mans’ personal taste. Some would say to choose a girl who dances energetically. Because it translates to a better experience in bed. This may be true. However, the best way to get a feel about the girls personality is to request that she sits with you for a chat. No matter how well she dances is no guarantee that she likes you. And if she likes you for your appearance or charm then you’re off to a better experience.

For her time it’s traditional you buy her a lady drink. Lady drinks consist of stale Cola that’s been passed around to other bar girls, because they never finish it. Lady drinks cost about 150 Baht, depending on the establishment of course. Some bars in Soi Cowboy such as Baccara are beginning to require a 2 drink minimum before you can even bar fine a girl. So make sure you check drink prices to avoid any unnecessary problems. A bar girl usually receives a percentage of the price.

Now comes chat time. But this part is important. She’ll ask you a series of question such as where you come from or how old are you etc.

But the most important question she’ll ask you is, “How many time you come to Bangkok?”

Tell her you’ve visited Bangkok numerous times and are a frequent visitor to go go bars. Tell her you live and work in Bangkok. Okay, you don’t have to go that far. What I’m getting at is never let a bar girl know you’re a newbie. They love over charging newbies because they know they have a higher chance of getting away with it.

It’s not illegal what they’re doing. Car salesman pull the same crap by pushing useless yet costly options for a brand new car when they know you’re a first time buyer. It all goes back to this, “It’s just business”.

What's Allowed Inside a Go Go Bar

When you call over a go go girl to sit next to you, you are required to buy her a lady drink. And no she’s not going to order a bottle of water. It’s going to be a small glass of stale cola or powdered orange juice called the lady drink.

Lady drink prices could cost as much as 150THB to 250THB depending on the class of go go bar. But most charge around 150THB. You can buy shots of tequila for her but those cost a lot more. In general most customers just stick with buying lady drinks.

The bar girl will sit with you until her dance shift is next which is about 5 minutes. During the time she’s sitting with you you are allowed to feel up the ladies. Meaning you can touch their breast, ass and pussy.

But go slow. Not unless she reciprocates your playfulness with her own. Don’t give her that creepy rapist look either. Usually bar girls will try to be playful with you also. Because they want you to take them out of the bar for some quick cash.

Take Your Time (When You’ve Got It)

I highly recommend not bar fining the first go go bar girl you see. Take your time. Especially when you’ve got it. Otherwise go ahead.

Go go bars are a lot of great fun especially when they put on erotic shows. Some big go go bar clubs like Billboard and Rainbow Bars have enough space to put on jacuzzi and shower shows where naked bar girls fool around with one another.

With a icy cold beer in hand it’s not a bad way to enjoy the night before taking a girl out for an all nighter.

The Short Time Beer Bar Girls

Beer bars are found all over the Nana red light district and up and down Sukhumvit road where Nana starts on Soi 4 and all the way between most of the side streets down to Soi Cowboy.

Girls working out of beer bars are either employed by the bar or just working as freelancers. Usually, smaller beer bars employ working girls onsite. Bigger beer bars such as beer gardens are filled with freelancers.

They are just another category of of prostitutes that work out of bars. Typically they’re sort of like freelancers but because they’re employed by the bar I suppose they’re considered bar girls. But these girls don’t dance on stage wearing bikinis. They are usually wearing sexy casual clothing though.

The thing that bothers me the most about ladies working out of beer bars is you can’t check really have a good look at their body. Not unless they are not shy. In go go bars you can get a really good look because the ladies are wearing two piece bikinis.

I know a lot of guys are turned off by woman who have stretch marks on their stomachs due to pregnancy. I’m one of those guys. That said, you can still find a lot of Thai girls with friendly attitudes inside short time beer bars.

The Thai Bar Girlfriend Experience

Most men who come to Bangkok’s red light districts have a void they want to fill. No pun intended. Many men for whatever reason need the attention and affection of a lovely bar girl want what’s called a ‘Girl Friend Experience’.

A girl friend experience can be a costly proposition.

Typically a man has to pay a bar fine to the bar establishment whenever he wants ‘alone time’ with a bar girl for either short time or long time.

Bar fines are usually 600 Baht today. Some places charge as high as 1000 Baht or more, depending on the quality of the bar girl.

Most guys negotiate with the bars for discount rates if they want to take a bar girl out for an extended vacation to Phuket or any other dreamy palm tree lined paradise island.

Men have a choice of either taking a bar girl back to a short time hotel where there are rooms available for 300 Baht an hour.

A much better alternative choice most frequent and seasoned visitors to Bangkok’s red light districts do is to book their stay in a hotel that has a girl friendly policy.

There are other terms like guest friendly or bar girl friendly. They all basically refer to a hotel that won’t charge their guests a joiners fee for taking a companion back to their rooms.

A non guest friendly hotel’s joiner fee is typically 500 Baht and can go as high as 1000 Baht.

For example it makes a lot of sense to stay in a guest friendly hotel near Nana Entertainment Plaza so that every time you bar fine a bar girl you can head straight to your hotel room instead of paying 300 Baht to rent a room.

Don’t worry. Hotels that have a girl friendly policy are not some sort of sleazy sex hotel filled with hookers and punters.

Many of these hotels are professionally run and managed, with guests ranging from leisure vacationers to business travelers.

Some examples of these hotels are the Ibis Nana Hotel, Majestic Suites and NANA Hotel.

All of those hotels are within a 5 minute walking distance to the always popular Nana Entertainment Plaza filled with the wildest go go bars. And bar girls can get to your hotel easily since it’s so close to where they work.

Girl friendly hotels requires your companion to leave some kind of I.D. with security. This is only for your safety and makes an unscrupulous bar girl give a second thought about stealing from you.

Most girl friendly hotels will check that you’re alive and well and not tied up before they hand back your bar girls I.D. card to her.
