Nana Red Light District Guide with Map of Nana Entertainment Plaza
As Bangkok’s biggest red light district in terms of pay for play options, the areas surrounding Nana Entertainment Plaza (NEP) is hard to compete against.
Today NEP has lots of large go go bars with real bar girls as well as the most ladyboy go go bars in the Sukhumvit Area.
NEP is where the heart of the districts activity is centered around, buzzing with many popular go go bars such as Rainbow 4, Angel Witch, Billboards and Twister Bar.
Thai hookers are up and down parts of Sukhumvit Soi 4. Russian prostitutes are right across the road on Soi 3. African street walkers are on Sukhumvit 7/1, muscling out what was once a Thai hooker stronghold.
There are a lot of small beer bars and popular pubs all over the area and especially along Sukhumvit Soi 4 to pick up ladies, particularly right inside Nana Plaza’s courtyard beer garden.
Ladyboy freelancers are all over Nana district too. So there are many places to pick up prostitutes but bar fining a bar girl from NEP is the path that most tourists seem to follow. Because bar girls inside go go bars are wearing bikinis so guys can have a better idea on how the ladies look in the nude. And some bars do have girls dancing topless
Twister for example has 2 dance stages and the stage on the left is the one where ladies dance topless. So when you go there ask for a seat by the left stage for a much better viewing pleasure.
All bar girls have a numbered badge pinned either on their bikini or g-string. So when you find a lady you like just tell the waitress the number and they’ll pull the lady off the stage to sit with you. When she does the rule is to buy her a lady drinks for her time.
Go Go Bar Girl Pricing: To take a girl out of a bar you have to pay a 600THB to 1000THB bar fine (price depends on class of bar girl) first to the bar or club the girl works for in Nana Entertainment Plaza. The rate that you pay for play is totally separate and depends on Short Time or Long Time.
There are quite a few other factors that will affect the asking price from bar girls. For example the way you look, your age and your ethnicity are some examples of those factors. Below are general rates for pay for play.

Nana Entertainment Plaza Location
NEP is located near the entrance of Sukhumvit Soi 4, right across from the Nana Hotel. It’s very easy to find particularly at night because it’s crowded with hawker stands, tourists and ladyboy freelancers.
Closest train stations are Ploen Chit (BTS) and Nana (BTS). Both stations are about an equal distance walk to Soi 4.
If coming from Nana station remember to follow along Exit #2 from the station and it will lead up to Soi 4 on Sukhumvit road. If coming from Ploen Chit BTS station follow along Exit #4.
Are Nana’s Go Go Bar Girls Hot?
NEP has a handful of very popular go go bars with a reputation for employing the best looking ladies. That said, average looking bar girls make up the bulk of prostitute numbers but there are still a fair amount of attractive ladies to pick and choose from.
Remember, all of the best looking ladies are either standing outside to attract customers or dancing on front stage nearest to the doors as an extra lure.
To give you an idea on what an average looking bar girl looks like and what a hot looking bar girl looks like take a look at the example pics.
Average girls charge a minimum of 1500THB for short time. Above average looking ladies charge about 2000THB to 2500THB (could be higher). Hot bar girls charge a minimum of 2500THB and up to 3500THB for short time (again could be higher).
Prices are always negotiable but if she knows what she is worth she will charge what she’s worth. If you are short on time I would never suggest bargaining with very attractive bar girls because seriously, if you can’t pay what they want they can easily find a customer who can and will.
Short Time (1 hour but negotiable) will cost you between 1500 Baht to 2500 Baht. In some instance if the girl knows she is attractive and quite popular she may stay firm on a 2500 Baht or more asking price. You’ll also have to pay for a short time room which costs 300 Baht to rent for the hour. There are 2 short time rooms for rent. 1 hour is the norm but you can ask for 2 hours instead. It doesn’t hurt.
Make sure you buy your own condoms. The one’s available at the short time hotels cost more and are industrial strength which means it won’t be comfortable. Two short time hotels are on the 3rd floor. Both charge the same rates. To save on having to rent a short time room you should stay in a hotel near Nana Plaza instead. It’s much more practical. And cleaner too.
Long Time (Overnight) obviously cost more because you’re taking them out of the bar the entire night. Otherwise they can earn more doing multiple short times with different customers. The asking rates range from 2500 Baht up to 5000 Baht for long time. Again there are factors that will affect the price quoted, such as how much money she’s made already for the night as well as how she’s feeling. After all bar girls want a break as well since most work 6 days straight every week.
Here’s a tip, you can wait until the 2am closing time and ask the bar girl to stay with you for long time to save on the 500 Baht bar fine. Usually you take the bar girl back to your hotel for long time stay. Technically a bar girl cannot make side deals inside of her work place. So keep your secret deal just between the two of you.
You should make sure the hotel you’re staying in won’t have an issue with you inviting a Thai hooker to your room. Because there are hotels that will charge a joiner fee if you invite non registered hotel guests.
5 Hotels Very Close To Nana Entertainment Plaza
These are 5 recommended hotels closest to Nana Plaza. And all are confirmed visitor friendly so prostitutes are allowed. Though these hotels will not charge a joiner fee, they may ask for your companion’s Thai ID card to check if they are not under-aged.
Nana Entertainment Plaza - Ground Level
Lollipops Bar – Bar Fine 700THB
The latest go go bar with ladyboys. Just goes to show how popular this type of venues are inside Nana.
Bangkok Bunnies – Bar Fine 700THB
Has a good line up of friendly bar girls. Drink prices are reasonable too.
Rainbow Bar – Bar Fine 600THB
The flagship Rainbow Bar group. It is the largest in NEP with many bar girls working inside. There is an area outside of the bar as well to have drinks and people watch.
Play School – 700THB
A medium sized bar on the 1st level of Nana Entertainment Plaza. Play School has a nice little set up for dancers on stage. A good go to go go bar if others are too packed inside.
London Calling – 700THB
Don’t be fooled by the “No Ladyboys” sign out in front. They do have some transexuals thrown in along with the genuine ladies. And some of their real bar girls are very easy on the eyes. Do stay and watch the shower shows for some arousing entertainment.
Rainbow 2 – Bar Fine 600THB
Cant’ really go wrong with Rainbow bars I always say. But this one is one of the smaller Rainbow bars but still good to take a look inside.
Obsessions – Bar Fine 700THB
The only all ladyboy bar on the first floor of Nana Entertainment Plaza. The least aggressive ladyboy bar that I’ve ever been in at at least while I was there last time.
Nana Entertainment Plaza - 2nd Level
Straps – Bar Fine 600THB *Ladyboys and Real Ladies
So I couldn’t really figure out how to label straps as they have a mix of genuine ladies or ladyboys. Last year it was mostly ladyboys. This year it was mostly women. If you can’t tell which is which just ask. When in doubt, assume she’s a he.
Rainbow 3 – Bar Fine 600THB
I’ve alway been a fan of Rainbow go go bars but this is the tightest and most packed. I like more space but this just means you’ll get to be up close with the ladies.
Chili – Bar Fine 700THB
Another ladyboy bar on the second floor of Nana Entertainment Plaza. Not sure what percentage are pre-ops and post-ops but if ladyboys are to your liking go ahead and ask. They are not shy at all.
Angel Witch – Bar Fine 600THB
One of my favorite bars in Nana Entertainment Plaza. It’s not huge at all but the girls have a pleasant attitude and there are fun shows to watch on stage at night. You might even get to participate as well.
Spanky’s – Bar Fine 600THB
For a small bar not sure how they fit a shower show inside but it’s sure as hell fun to watch. Does get busy inside with a decent line up of cute Thai girls so get ready to rub elbows with go go bar girls and customers.
Sexy Night – Bar Fine 800THB
A small compact bar with a small stage.
DC – 10 – Bar Fine 700THB
A smallish lady boy bar with a mix of feminine and obvious dudes in make up and bikini.
Casanova – Bar Fine 600THB
A bit larger then it’s neighboring ladyboy go go bar, Casanova has more feminine, at least that what’s I saw while I was there. And Casanova has been in Nana Plaza for the longest time after moving to this location from the other side of the complex.
Rainbow 4 – Bar Fine 800THB
Always been a fan of Rainbow go go bars and they are quite reliable for finding a handful of cute bar girls.
Twister Bar – Bar Fine 700THB
One of the larger bars on the second floor of Nana Entertainment Plaza. With so many go go girls employed inside you’ll have greater chances of finding the type of girl you want to spend the night with.
Temptations – Bar Fine 600THB
Another ladyboy go go bar but they’ve been in that location for the longest time. Well known for over the top ladyboys with total feminine looks.
Diamond Bangkok – Bar Fine 600THB
Diamond Bangkok has mostly genuine Thai girls but a small contingent of ladyboys used mostly to lure passerby with their feminine looks. And it works. Still a fun bar to check out.
Mandarin – Bar Fine 600THB
A smallish go go bar and one of the first bars you’ll see as you head up the escalator from the 1st level of Nana Entertainment Plaza. They offer table dance entertainment which is unique to Mandarin.
Mercury Go Go – Bar Fine 600THB
Another ladyboy go go bar in NEP. It’s a smallish bar employing feminine looking ladyboys.
Nana Entertainment Plaza - 3rd Level
Erotica – Bar Fine 700THB
This is the smallest bar on the third floor of Nana Entertainment Plaza. But they do have a decent selection of ladies. It’s a small cozy go go bar so get ready to get close to the ladies.
Bill Board Go Go – Bar Fine 700THB
A large go go bar with lots of entertaining shows such as jacuzzi and dancer performances in the nude. With a large selection of ladies and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the atmosphere.
Enter – Bar Fine 700THB
Enter go go bar is a smaller bar with a setup that might be a little too tight when it gets crowded with customers which happens because Enter bar does have some cute and beautiful Thai go go bar girls.
Charade – Bar Fine 700THB
A medium size ladyboy go go bar. Has mostly post-ops. Don’t ask how I know. It’s the only ladyboy go go bar on this floor of NEP.
Butterflies – Bar Fine 700THB
The largest bar on this floor with an enjoyable jacuzzi show where Thai bar girls will put on an arousing show in a tub full of bubbles. There’s also a big roster of girls to choose from here.
Feeling Hungry?
There are many restaurants to choose from if you’re feeling famished after a romp with a bar girl.
There’s a McDonalds and Burger King right on the intersection of Sukhumvit Road and Soi 3.
For pub grub you can find a decent meal from several just 50 meters down Nana Plaza
Plenty of Thai hawker stands are also in the area for cheap eats.
But if you’re in Bangkok for a layover I highly recommend sticking with an indoor restaurant.
You don’t want any nasty stomach problems from eating bad street food.
There’s even a Hooter’s chain of fast food restaurants at the lobby of the Nana Hotel right across from NEP.
Finding Hookers in Nana Red Light District
Nana Entertainment Plaza (NEP) is located right by Sukhumvit road 4 though it is also called Nana Soi 4 or simply Soi Nana. The easiest way to get to NEP is by taking the BTS Sky Train. Get off at Nana BTS station. Look for stairway exit #2 because it’s the closest to NEP which is about 400 meters away.
Taking a taxi to NEP could be a real nightmare during rush hour because Sukhumvit road will be jam packed with all manners of vehicles, especially when the taxi is heading south bound on Nanatai Road. In any case most taxi drivers will knows this and most likely decline your fare. Though they may offer you an inflated flat rate. Whether you choose to pay extra is up to you.
NEP is located right across Nana Hotel, where a few dozen Thai freelancers hangout on the premise of the hotel’s parking lot. No big surprise that the Nana hotel allow their guests to bring ladies to a room with no joiner fee. Starting around 7pm a handful of girls start gathering inside the parking lot and linger on the street entrance of the hotel.
There are three floors at NEP with an open courtyard in the middle filled with beer bars. With all the bright neon lights crammed into NEP it’s easy to mistake the place for a carnival.
There are lots of popular go go bars on the street level and I personally like Rainbow 1 and 2, Lollipop and Playschool. There are many beer bars in the center and usually 1 on the second floor. These are good places to relax, buy a drink and chat with ladies and to experience the sights and sounds all around you. There are also a few more bars on the ground floor of NEP where you can shoot pool against some really talented bar girls, but I didn’t have room to map it out. Besides, part of the fun and adventure is going out and exploring on your own.
There are quite a few very popular go go bars on the second level, my particular favorites are Rainbow 4 and Angel Witch. I often have the best times with my friends who visit those two bars. It’s very laid back with some good shows and lots of ladies to keep yourself busy.
Ladyboys of Nana
Overall, Nana red light district has a large and popular lady boy scene. You can find a handful of lady boy freelancers hanging around outside the entrance of Nana Entertainment Plaza.
But if you prefer go go bars with lady boys then head inside Nana Entertainment Plaza and you’ll find 7 popular lady boy go go bars.
Obsessions is on the first floor in the back. The most all ladyboy go go bars are all located on the 2nd level with a total of 5 ladyboy go go bars, Chili, DC-10, Casanova, Temptations and Mercury Bar.
Rounding out on the 3rd level of Nana Entertainment Plaza is Charades, the only all ladyboy go go bar on that level.
Whether you prefer to be in the company of ladyboys or not, inside and outside Nana Plaza they are constantly present and whatever ill feelings you have for transexuals it’s best to keep it to yourself.
