Soi Cowboy Go Go Bars
Be prepared to be tugged on by dozens of ladies as you enter the threshold of Soi Cowboy. This widely popular red light zone was just recently renovated and enjoying a surge in visitors as a result. When I first arrived it looked like it was on the verge of being run down. Today it has a totally updated look and it doesn't look like it will be losing any momentum.
Soi Cowboy is popular with the expat community in Bangkok and that's a good sign. Going where the experienced locals go is a good indication of where the good restaurants are and the same goes true for go go bars. The drinks in the go go bars at Soi Cowboy have gone up in price. But don't worry it's still not bad compared to western bar prices. The best thing of all is that most of the bars in Soi Cowboy do have Happy Hours or drink specials such as a 2 for 1 or cheap draft beers. The most popular go go bars in my opinion are Shark Bar, Long Gun, Rawhide and the futuristic looking Tilac Bar. These go go bars have the most ladies which increases the probability of meeting prettier girls. They have been around since Soi Cowboy first started but are constantly keeping themselves fresh and reinventing themselves ever so often to keep up with the times and competition. Some of the go go bars in Soi Cowboy are unique such as Baccara where you can watch girls dance above, beneath a glass ceiling. Sometimes in bikinis and a couple of times in the nude, which is technically illegal, but so is prostitution. There are loads of girls who are dressed in school uniforms which I'm sure are fulfilling a lot of male fetishes. Speaking about unique bars, there are two specialty bars to check out. I hope you're not shy though because in Afterskool customers can have a beer while a lady gives gives them oral sex. Believe me you're going to need the beer because almost anyone could watch as there really is no privacy. Just a part of the bar they call the naughty corner. Toy Bar on the other hand (no pun intended) only provides hand relief. But to be honest anything pretty much goes inside. If you're not interested in Thai food there are some pretty good restaurants in Soi Cowboy with menu items such as hamburgers which are excellent at Sam's 2000. Another great place to hang out is Country Road where they have live music. My friends and I always have fun there. You can also head right across the street to Penny Black to shoot some pool eat some pub fare and check out the loads of girls that hang out there late into the night. |

Bar Girl Rates and Prices at Soi Cowboy
Bar fining a lady at a go go club in Soi Cowboy could range from 400 Baht up to 1000 Baht depending on the quality and specialty of the bar girl. Because depending on the establishment you could bar fine a waitress, a mamasan and even some bartenders if one fancys her.
Also at Long Gun you can bar fine some of the show girls for around 600 Baht. Worth every Baht in my opinion. Show girls in Bangkok are synonymous with Coyote girls or dancers, made famous by the movie Coyote Ugly. These girls are normally in the higher quality range in terms of body type and younger age. Most are slim and very shapely. They are also picky too and the popular ones can turn down customers. And there are those that you can't even bar fine at all.
I have to admit I've had some great times with some of the waitresses and bartenders who I think are beautiful. Plus I find that they are not as rough around the edges or jaded as most bar girls exposed to the industry for awhile. It's just a whole different experience for me personally.
For Short Time (1 hour) the ladies asking price is around 1500 Baht to 2500 baht. Again this really depends on how you look and what ethnicity you are. Japanese men normally get charged almost double. Why? Because they pay and can afford it. Less attractive girls will put out a lower price just to pull in extra cash.
Long Time (Overnight) prices again depend on how the lady feels. Bar girls know they can earn much more money handling multiple customers in one night than one customer for one night. So they will ask for a lot more initially when you ask them how much for long time. So don't be surprised if they ask for as much as 6000 Baht. On the other hand if the bar girl is tired or she's made some money earlier on in the night she may agree for a lower rate. Remember a lot of times the way you look and your ethnicity goes into how she determines how much she'll charge you. Don't get offended, it's just business.
Go go bars in Bangkok are great places to have fun. But if you're traveling on a budget you have to be careful especially if you're a first timer.
