Pattaya - FAQ, reviews and questions

[Steely Dan]

I can't add anything more (yet but maybe after my late October /November visit)

Sounds like I need to pass out work orders to the boys.  You must visit two Gogos on the list and confirm (1) are the girls fully naked, (2) will they let you touch or lick pussy and (3) something else - lost my train of thought....  Anyone who is slow to agree will be assigned a tame club.  If you are really bad, you will need to visit a WS Nightclub at 2:00 AM to check the vibe.   I guess we need someone to check out the Ladyboy show, because that is not me. Just saying.

Ok boys.  Need feedback.  Showing I have too much time on my hands - and also that I am planning for my next trip to Paradise - I have created a new Wiki page.  I look at gogos, nightclubs and music bars.  (No point in trying to categorise girl bars like on Soi 6, nor Gents clubs.).  These tables are based on what you wrote on UKP, plus a few other Pattaya forums.  Many of these places I have never been to.  Some may be closed.  Please reply with any disagreements on the tiering or places you know that are closed.  Or places so good that we must add.

The nightclub section needs a bit of work; when i left Pattaya for a bit of a "reset" in July the following was the case:

Myst, Insomnia and Republic the big 3 now.  Young hot crowd at Myst, the usual mix at Insomnia and hot well dressed girls at the more expensive Republic.

Lucifer has slipped quite a lot - it's not a top tier place anymore.  Much older women mostly and pretty dead now.  The place badly needs a refurb to compete but all they've done is made a new fancy sign.

A special mention for Flexx Club - A place that doesn't even start getting going until 6am deserves a nod.

Quite a few of the places in that list have closed or are in the wrong category:

Marine closed a few years ago and is now the site of the extremely elaborate "Boss" club which is mostly aimed at Indians but they do try and get Westeners in too. A small beer is around 330 baht in there!

Stars Club I think is a Russian clip joint and not a nightclub. Tantra and Palace are agogo bars and not nightclubs. Palace has one of the best lineups in Pattaya but is mostly aimed at Asian customers.

The live music section you should add in Candy Club on Soi Boukhao which is probably one of the most popular freelancer joints around at the moment, it's only small but rammed every night.

Other nightclubs on WS are Sun's and Panda club.  Those two seemed to be aimed more at the Asian crowd & then you have at least half a dozen Indian clubs which I can't comment on.  The majority of new nightclubs seem to be aimed at the Indian crowd. 

The turnover of businesses and the number of empty units on Walking Street is so high that outside of the established names which seem to be able to weather any storm it can be hard to keep up

Thanks for the updated info. I'm hoping to buy you boys a pint if you're out there late October

[pilgrim]

Thanks SteelyDan, i will opt out of the nightclub scene, but think we should do some field work on the development of GCs in the Bongkoch 8 area, I think theres at least 4 changes since we were last there.
The wiki is a bit sparse in that area. You will need to do some research on "TQ" External Link/Members Only it classes its self as a gogo bar.
Better not make too many plans as I have found out that in pattaya you need to be flexible and go with the flow. I land on 30th oct, so i will have a beer ready.

This is a tough job, but I'll do it for the sake of the team.  I'll start at one end, you start at the other and we can compare notes in the middle.

Clive: Thank you. I think I have taken all comments on board with the latest update.  Please tell me if I missed something.  And comments on other stuff are welcome too.  You may be able to guess that I have never even set foot in a Pattaya nightclub - i just wrote what I saw in UKP posts!  Here is the fixed version

Others / Under Review   Bliss, Skyfall Lounge, Atmos   Lounge–club hybrids; active but not full-scale nightclubs in the Western sense.

Bliss and Skyfall are agogo bars.  Had never heard of Atmos but looks like it's a new agogo.  I believe Pinup/ XS group have opened a new one down there but I'm not sure what that is called.

If you haven't visited a club I do actually think it's worth checking out ibar at least, it's very relaxed and more like a bar with freelancers than a full on nightclub.  I've never had a bad night in there and crowd is mixed 35-70+!

The upside of the nightclubs is a stunning girl can be had for a few k and if it gets to 3am or so then most likely she will stay the night. Plus, you can buy a bottle of whiskey for a very reasonable price and they'll keep it for up to a month so it can be a good way to enjoy it with the girls and her friends without constant bill pressures as there is no silly buying lady drinks all night for her and "sisters"

Thanks for more builds!  Pinup/XS created Atmos (from apple and glass house), and Opium is now Dragon.  I try not to play the 'this used to be' memory game - in the guide we will just mention Dragon and Atmos.

Hi All,

Would like to add to the mix. May 2025 info
Kink LK metro
Girls doing a lesbian show also 3 girls on one chap he was drinking from the furry cup not quite sure if they where giving head to him.. the girls where in a dry swimming pool area and naked doing stuff to each other. I was with a seasoned pro xpat as my new best buddy. We walked in at ground level and the place was dead😆 and we were about to leave when they said head up stairs.
Had an amazing girl with no pants mini skirt lamp dancing on me had her juices stained all over my shorts next morning. Was totally pissed up and not up to taking her home shame as she was hot.

I will be in Pattaya 19th Nov for a month and will definitely visit the Tahitian Queen, got a bj there in the seats so will be looking for the same again.

Very nice. Went Pattaya recently, would add Chick as moderate from the comparisons you have already.

[Steely Dan]

Amusing.  I posted the nightlife page into ChatGPT and asked it to suggest an evening out based on the information.  Here is the result:

🗓️ Pattaya Night Out — Smooth Descent Plan

1️⃣ Horizon Bar (Hilton Pattaya)
Start the evening easy. Sunset view over the bay, relaxed crowd, cocktails worth the markup.
Pro tip: Arrive around 6:30 p.m. to grab a window seat — they fill fast once the sky turns gold.

2️⃣ Pinup A-Go-Go (Walking Street)
Slide from calm to lively. Classic go-go energy — fun, bright, fast rotations, no gimmicks.
Pro tip: Arrive before midnight when the lineup is sharpest and the music still feels crisp.

3️⃣ Kink Club (LK Metro)
Turn the dial up. Wild themed shows and a playful mood, but not too serious — people are here to laugh as much as stare.
Pro tip: The best moments start after 11:30 p.m., when the lights drop and the crowd starts cheering.

4️⃣ Republic Club (Walking Street)
Shift to the full club feel — EDM, good sound, and people dressed to impress.
Pro tip: Go around 1 a.m. for the peak crowd; it feels more polished than Myst, less chaotic than Insomnia.

5️⃣ Flexx Club (Walking Street)
The descent complete — music, smoke, and the last crowd standing.
Pro tip: Don’t go before 5 a.m.; it only really wakes up when everyone else closes. Bring energy (and maybe hydration).

Pattaya Recon Challenge 🇹🇭🍺

We have heard that lots of youse are going to Pattaya soon and are not sure what to do.  Ok, one answer is to fuck Thai girls.  But what else?

We’ve built a new “Under Review” section on the Pattaya nightlife wiki — tracking which bars and clubs are actually open in 2025 (and which are just ghosts with a neon sign).

Now we need eyes on the ground.
Three nights, three zones, and a few mystery venues to check — all perfectly legal… just.

Ok starting to answer my own question on what else to do. 
1) Anyone been to the Ladyboy Cabaret? Fancy in a big venue with hotel guests - no back alley. External Link/Members Only
2) Anyone been to the 'numbers' mild-by-local-standards sex shows (69,79,89,99)?  Can't go with TGF.  External Link/Members Only
3) Anyone been on one of the sunset cruises? There are 3 or 4 like this one External Link/Members Only on Ocean Sky.  Or red dragon External Link/Members Only

1) Yes, it's decent. However the VVIP at Alcazar costs less, includes snacks and 2 beers/soft drinks, and free photos with the performers. Far and away the best value Cabaret. In addition, I have seen the shows at Alcazar, Tiffanys and The Colosseum, I would rank the performance as:

• Alcazar
• Colosseum
• Tiffanys

Although, they are all very good. That was just my preference. You can get the best pricing by going through We-Offers. Cheaper than Klook etc.

External Link/Members Only

2) No, but interested in feedback from others. If it's burlesque and artistic, I'd be keen to see it. If it's just another seedy ping pong thing, I'll swerve.

3) Been on 2 of the cruises. All Star and Ocean Sky. Ocean Sky is better by far. Buffet is higher quality, as is the Cabaret. Service by the staff is good too. Only issue is that drinks are not included and can be expensive (for Patts)

All Star is a more intimate and budget friendly alternative. The Cabaret is fine, but less girls and no guys. The buffet is very average, so if you're a foodie, not as interesting. Beer and soft drinks are included, but the beer is warm so if you like watery beer with ice in it, great, otherwise it's a little annoying.

Again you'll get much cheaper pricing using We-Offer:

1390B vs 1880B from your link.
