One Night Guide to Bangkok's Red Light Districts
We’ve all heard the line in the song “One night in Bangkok can make a hard man humble…” It’s true. Especially if you think you can drop in and visit all 3 of the city’s go go bar districts in one stretch.
And it’s even a bigger stretch if you choose to pick up a Thai freelancer (or 2) when you’re plane leaves in an hour.
Trying to hurry a visit into Bangkok for the very first time in one night is asking for a coronary episode. To cut it short, you won’t be having such a good time or at least as much fun.
Add in the heat and humidity infamous in Thailand and I can guarantee you’re not going to have a great time. Believe me, it’s no fun heading into a go go bar drenched in sweat and all grumpy. So be realistic about the time available to you.
This 1 nighter guide is designed in mind that you have at least 9 hours to play. If you have at least 5 hours then you might not consider heading over to central Bangkok. But instead head over to the soapy massage parlors near Ratchada for a quickie before returning back to the airport.
The Airport Rail Link Train - The Quickest Way To Get To And From The Airport
If one night is all you have then the city’s train system from Suvarnabhumi airport will be your new best friend. It’s super simple to use and not expensive at all.
There are only 2 rail lines on the Airport Rail Link leading to Bangkok and back to Suvarnabhumi Airport:
1. Express Line (red color) – 15 minutes to Makassan Station from Suvarnabhumi airport. Flat rate cost of 150THB.
2. City Line (blue color) – 30 minutes to Makassan Station from Suvarnabhumi airport. Fare cost 40THB.
This train is your best friend when you’re short on time because it’s the quickest route to the city. Take a taxi you might end the risk of getting stuck in traffic.
Where to Stay in Bangkok for One Wild Night with Thai Prostitutes
“A hotel near the airport or hotel in Bangkok?” If you want to meet Thai bar girls, pickup freelancers at a bar and have a soapy massage all in one night then stay at a hotel anywhere near Soi Cowboy because there is an MRT subway station right next to it.
Basically any hotel near the Sukhumvit MRT subway station is the sweet spot. The MRT train is the best way to connect to the Airport Train (more about this below) so you can get to your hotel quickly and back to the airport in a flash.
Plus Soi Cowboy is very close to Nana Entertainment Plaza. And between NEP and Soi Cowboy you have a wide variety of places to find Thai freelancers, either on the streets or inside bars. Add in a few soapy massage parlors in the area and you will be in the sweet spot for one night in Bangkok. Remember, go go bars in Nana and Soi Cowboy bars open between 6pm – 7pm and close their doors a little after 2am.
Although you can squeeze in a visit to titty bar or two in Patpong you are better off not having to deal with rushing. Rushing just takes the fun out of things. Not unless you really like to sweat because nights in Bangkok can be just as hot during the day, especially from April to late late October, the hot and rainy season.
The Airport Train is your quickest route to Bangkok. But if you are traveling with a lot of luggage you can always take the public taxi to your hotel. Taxi fare from Suvarnabhumi airport to any hotel near Nana or Soi Cowboy cost around 350THB including airport surcharge and highway tolls. Or you can always catch a taxi at the level 4 departure level to avoid paying the 50THB airport surcharge.
If you must, you can store your luggage at Suvarnabhumi airport’s left luggage counter located at the 2nd level passenger arrival hall. At time of writing, the cost for storing one luggage is 100THB for 24 hours.
There are quite a lot of hotels near Soi Cowboy which does not require their guests to pay an additional joiner’s fee if they wish to invite a bar girl or street freelancer to their hotel rooms.
So it’s highly recommended to stay at a guest friendly hotel near Soi Cowboy and the MRT subway station if you’re staying in Bangkok for 1 night only.
Here's What You Need To Know
Airport Rail Link From Suvarnabhumi Airport operates between 6am – 12am everyday.
Go go bars in Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy open from 7pm to 2am

Here's Where To Stay For The Most Action In 1 Night
Book a room at the Ruamchitt Plaza Hotel. There are many Thai freelancers in a bar called Thermae in the basement of the hotel. Girls inside charge 1500THB to 2500THB for 1 hour. You do not have to pay bar fines.
Here Is A List Of Hotels Near Soi Cowboy
1. Asoke Suites
7. Grande Millennium Sukhumvit
11. Tai-Pan Hotel
All of the hotels listed above are about a 5 minute walk to Soi Cowboy and about a 15 to 20 minute walk to Nana Entertainment Plaza. Sukhumvit MRT subway station is also a short distance from these hotels.

1 Night In Bangkok Action Plan
Remember, the action in Nana and Soi Cowboy starts off around 7pm.
If it’s early you can always catch a nap in your room or head out to a beer garden to pick up a Thai freelancer. Beer gardens are usually open in the afternoons. So if you want some early action there is a beer garden on Sukhumvit road Soi 7. To be honest the ladies working inside that area have seen a lot of wear and tear (no offense ladies).
But I have 3 better recommendations for day time action in Bangkok:
1. Visit Eden Club (a threesome/massage parlor)
2. Get an Oil Massage (see below for some popular shops)
3. Visit a BJ Bar
The Eden Club is a very popular establishment in Bangkok where you can have sex with 2 ladies that you choose from a line up. The price for each lady is 2100THB so it’s 4200THB total and you get 90 minutes total and can shoot your load up to 3 times.
And the ladies they employ are advertised as bisexual. Sex toys are involved if you choose to use them on the ladies or have them used on you. Anything goes in the pleasure rooms of Eden Club and the ladies have a good reputation for customer satisfaction.
They used to advertise on their website that if a customer is not satisfied they don’t have to pay. That policy is not there anymore because I’m sure as shit some previous customers must have taken advantage of it.
However, if you don’t want to be completely spent before the night is over my second recommendation is to get an oil massage. Of course I’m not referring to the types of oil massages you’d take your mother in-law to.
There are many oil massage shops where you can pay around 800THB for a 2 hour oil massage and 1500THB for full sex. There are a lot of sex massage parlors near the Phrom Phong red light district with guest friendly hotels too. You might want to consider staying at a hotel near Phrom Phong just to enjoy happy ending massages for the entire night.
Phrom Phong is one stop away from Soi Cowboy on the BTS Sky Train and the fare only cost 15THB. Alternatively you can sweat your balls off by taking a walk to Phrom Phong red light district in 20 minutes.
Here are 4 oil massage parlors I recommend if you have only 1 night in Bangkok:
1. Dream Heaven Massage: Located on Sukhumvit Soi 33. Walk down about 100 meters and you’ll see a sign for Dream Massage on the left side. Dream Heaven Massage girls are pretty. I recommend the 90 minute nuru massage which cost 2300THB.
Once inside you can look at the photo album with pictures of their available ladies or simply ask the manager to have their massage girls line up in front of you. I prefer seeing them in person. Never rely on photographs.
Pick the girl you like, pay the 2300THB to the manager and off you go. Your chosen massage girl will lead you upstairs for your Nuru massage experience.
Dream Heaven Massage is a full service shop meaning you get some blow job, a little bit of hand job and finish off with a fuck job.
If all you want is a hand job or a blow job, then check out Akane Massage.
2. Akane Massage Bangkok : Also located on Sukhumvit Soi 33, almost opposite from Dream Heaven Massage. If you want to keep it simple with a blow job or a hand job you will like Akane.
Once you choose your desired service the mamasan claps her hands and at least 6 or 8 girls appear in short black skin tight dresses and red blazers (okay, it’s not that dramatic). After you’ve chosen your girl they’ll collect your wallet and other belongings in a locker and hand you the key.
Because your designated massage room has no locks and you have to undress and leaving everything (including your underwear) in the room and get a shower first with the help of your masseuse. You’ll get a towel of course to cover up. Afterwards the massage proceeds.
Massages are rather short because the girl will usually get your rocks off within the first 20 minutes with a hand job. But no worries. Akane girls give customers a chance to shoot a second round.
3. Bitstyle Massage: Have you ever had an erotic tantric massage before by a pretty Thai massage girl? If not, you should check out Bitstyle Massage on Sukhumvit Soi 22.
Tantric massages are more sensual. Actually ticklish is the better word to describe it. For men this massage technique is used to get your blood flowing to your dick.
It starts with feather light touches from your legs up to your cock and balls. And the massage girls hands are oiled so she’ll reach in to stroke your rod when she sees you’re erection.
Trust me, go try it out.
4. 101 Premier Bangkok Massage: Located right by Sukhmvit soi 26. This place is awesome and I highly recommend a visit. Like many other oil parlors you can reserve your massage girl ahead of time by making a booking on their official website.
Check out my recent visit on my blog post here about their services. Girls working in 101 Premier are very pretty. So if I was short on time in Bangkok this is one of the best happy ending massage shops in Bangkok you must visit.
I also want to add that oily massage shops close around 12am. But last call starts around 11pm.
Nana Entertainment Plaza And Soi Cowboy GoGo Bars
As unique as both red light districts are, NEP and Soi Cowboy’s main goals are to get customers laid while making lots of cash off of said customers. Read up on bar girl rates to find out a base price for hiring hookers in Bangkok.
There are quite a lot of bars in both districts. However there are a lot of bars that you can skip. Which makes it easier to check out the best ones in 1 night only. Though 2 -3 nights would be ideal.
Remember: The distance between NEP and Soi Cowboy is only a 10-15 minute walk along Sukhumvit road. To get to either red light districts quicker take the taxi. Cost about 35THB with no traffic. So if you have only 1 night in Bangkok here are the bars I would check out first:

- Twister Bar – 2nd floor (very popular, girls on the left stage are topless )
- Rainbows 1- 1st floor

Is That All There Is To Do In One Night?
After running around on a sexcapade and you feel like you’ve still got some energy in reserves to run an extra goal how about looking around fora Thai street hooker?
Nana Hotel’s parking lot is the place to be if you want the most choices of Thai street hookers hanging out in one area.
Even though I think after going through oil massage parlors and running around go go bars, hiring a freelancer to end the night might just be too taxing on your testicles.
And Bangkok does have a lot of street hookers all around the Sukhumvit road area which is not far at all from Nana Plaza.
But while one night could be sufficient with two nights in Bangkok you can really fool around with more Thai freelancers.
Feeling Hungry
Dinner? Would you rather get laid or fed? Just kidding. If you’re like me and need to stuff your face because of low blood sugar there are so many food choices all over the city’s red light districts.
If it’s the evening time and you’re done having your pipes cleaned at Eden Club or an oil massage parlor you might just be hungry. I recommend grabbing a bite before heading out to Soi Cowboy or Nana’s go go bars for happy hours, which usually starts around 7pm.
You’ve got a whole lot of dining options if you’re staying at a hotel near Soi Cowboy. Obviously there is Thai food. But there’s also Italian, Korean, and Mexican all next to Terminal 21 shopping mall. It’s a huge center right on the corner of Sukhumvit road and Asoke road. Definitely try the food court at Terminal 21 on the 5th floor.
If you’re the kind of guy that doesn’t want to try anything new there is a 24 hours McDonald’s in the Robinson Department store across from the Sheraton Hotel on Sukhumvit. It’s easy to find.
