The Best Pick Up Bar in Bangkok Just Got Better

The Thermae Bar on Sukhumvit Soi 15 - The Best Pick Up Joint in Bangkok

I've done a review about the Thermae Bar in Bangkok before but it's time for an updated post. I've been a regular at the Thermae longer than I can remember. To me, it's simply the best spot to pick up Thai prostitutes in Bangkok. There's no need to pay a bar fine, no need to buy lady drinks unless you want to. And for the past week I've been keeping some friends company and we've been dropping by the Thermae nearly everyday. It was fun times indeed!

Like me, they prefer a quieter places to check out Bangkok's finest freelance hookers while chatting over our reasonably priced alcohol without shouting over loud blaring music. The Thermae is not a go go bar nor is it considered a beer bar.

The Thermae Bar is a perfect meeting point for friends who have a habit of running late. Because you can always check out the available working girls standing around the bar while waiting.

The bar has about 30 to 40 girls Thai working girls inside charging from 1200THB to 2000THB for short time. All of the girls do not work directly for the bar. So no need to pay a bar fine. And no need to by lady drinks either. But you should just to be nice and besides Thermae's prices for drinks are not crazy expensive like go go bars. The girls are just as happy to get up and go with you for a quick romp in the bed.

And as an added convenience you can always stay at the Ruamchitt Hotel, which is a very popular budget hotel right on Sukhumvit near the red light districts. If you're not a guess at the Ruamchitt you have to pay 500THB to use their rooms for 1 hour. Because Thermae Bar is right downstairs the Ruamchitt Hotel it is preferred by many of my friends on a budget. You can check for discount rates for Ruamchitt here.

Most of the girls inside are between 20 to 30 years of age. You may find a handful of Thai girls in their late teens. For guys looking for mature women the Thermae won't disappoint as well.



Take a good look at the video above and you'll get a good idea about the bar. I don't own the video but I wanted to show everyone what it's like to be inside. I tried taking photos inside (not of people of course) but it's just too dark inside and crowded to get a good pic on a camera phone. From the looks of the video it looks like it was recorded around 12am because there are so many ladies and customers guys standing around because no seats are available.

Before, I always told people to get to the Thermae at around 11pm, when the most girls pile inside looking for customers. Around 11pm there are at least 30 ladies while after 1am there could be around 40.

Now, for some reason there seems to be a lot of girls by 7pm. At least from what I counted there were around 20 and there were a handful of very cute girls.

Just like what I've said about the soapy massage parlors on my last post, there are now more new girls at the Thermae.

No ladyboys are allowed inside. It's like some kind of unwritten rule. However, if that's your flavor, there are usually around 6 ladyboys standing out of the Ruamchitt Hotel and Thermae Bar entrance. Be outside around 12am and you'll find about 12 dudes with tits trying to catch guys too drunk to tell the difference. Because some of those ladyboys look like models.

Thermae Bar Hooker Rates

This is really one of the best pick up joints in Bangkok because you can find cute Thai girls charge as low as 1500THB for short time. One friend took a lady who was in her late 30's for short time for 1000THB and he says she wasn't bad looking.

One cute Thai girl charged me 2000THB for short time and I get 2 shots. Yes, you can talk to the girls about how many times you can get off. A lot of the prostitutes inside Thermae are actually looking for multiple short time customers, where they can make the quickest Baht. From my experience if you ask them for long time rates after 12am to 1am they'll usually offer you cheaper rates. Long time rates you can expect to pay around 4000THB to 6000THB. As usual the more attractive the girl is the more expensive the price.

But I wouldn't try and be too cheap with them considering you don't have to pay for bar fines and overload them with lady drinks.

The "Jap Trap"

Thermae Bar has a reputation for overpriced Thai freelancers due to the high volume of Japanese customers, either Japanese expats our Japanese tourists. The Japanese have a reputation for paying absurd prices. I think it's a false stereotype. There are a lot of Europeans, Americans, Canadians, you name it that also pay crazy prices too.

And Thermae hookers also have a reputation for preferring Japanese men, which is kind of true. But don't let that fact make you miss out on visiting the Thermae.

I have met a lot of people that swear off going to the Thermae because of the "Jap Trap" reputation. If that were true there would only be Japanese inside. But it's not. If you go inside you'd find guys from all over the world.

No matter how you look at it, you can save a lot of money pickup up Thai freelancers at Thermae Bar. A can of cola cost 80THB, a bottle of beer cost a 100THB, there's zero bar fines to pay or pushy bar bar girls asking to buy drinks and tip money.

My 2013 Top Bangkok Hotel Picks For All Budgets

A bit of daytime action found between Sukhumvit Soi 5 and Soi 7

Following up on a bunch of questions I've answered on a previous post here's a list of hotels I would personally stay at a certain price range. I've been to all of these girl friendly hotels either staying at one personally or having friends who've stayed there so I had a good chance to take a good look at the hotels I mention below.

And all of them are right in the Sukhumvit area. I've had a few people inquiring about Patpong girl friendly hotels but to be quite honest, there really is no need to stay in that location. Just get a hotel in Sukhumvit because there's plenty more to do especially if you're seeking out daytime action. Because I know a lot of guys are asking where to find hookers for an afternoon delight in Bangkok.

Well you can always head over to the Nana Hotel car park, up and down Sukhumvit soi 4 and of course right between Sukhumvit soi 5 to soi 7.

I have nothing against Patpong of course. It's just a matter of convenience. You can always take the Sky Train whether you're staying near Nana Plaza or Soi Cowboy and get to Patpong in about 15 to 20 minutes. Take the MRT subway train at the Sukhumvit station to Silom station and you're just short a 5 minute walk to Patpong.

So I'm offering my personal hotel selections on this blog post because I receive a lot of emails from guys who don't know which hotel to pick that have no joiner fees. Because there's so many fricking choices especially when they look at my list of gf hotels in the Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza area.

Even though I have my own cozy place to run out my clock in Bangkok I still book hotels closer to the city's red light districts. Because it's much more convenient for me whenever my friends come over for a visit to hangout and drink myself silly with my best friends.

Plus if my neighbors catch me with a hooker I'd be the pariah of the neighborhood and parents would be pulling their kids away when they see me. I just don't want that type of attention. Oh yeah, Thais in townhouse communities are just as proficient in gossiping as us white folks. Sometimes a bit way too nosy too.

Anyways I have narrowed down a short list of hotels. I chose these hotels as if I was coming to Bangkok as a newbie with a set budget in mind. Below you'll find a hotel I recommend along the sois of Sukhumvit road from 1000THB like the plain yet adequate Orchid Place to mid range hotels like my highly recommended Majestic Grande, both are just a few minutes walk to Nana Plaza.

Be advised that the recommended hotels prices will fluctuate plus or minus a few hundred Baht depending on the season. This is especially true for upmarket hotels like the Grand Centre Point Sukhumvit that I recommend below.

Orchid Place on Sukhumvit soi 6

The cheapest guest friendly hotel on this list is the Orchid Place which is priced at around 1000THB per night for a standard room. It's all basic and no frills but the location is the real advantage.

If all I had was a 1000THB to spend a night in Bangkok this hotel would be it. Because it's just around the corner from Nana Plaza and the Nana Hotel car park for freelance hookers.

Now I have never stayed at the Orchid personally but I have seen the rooms of friends who have and they look clean for a cheapie hotel.

Sure, the hotel looks like a dump from the outside but if all you're worried about is sleeping in a clean room and the ability to bring hookers to your room without a hassle then the Orchid Place will suffice.

Heaven @ Hotel on Sukhumvit soi 4 - This is a superior room

Heaven@4 Hotel is another cheapie place to stay. Sometimes I see hookers standing outside of the hotel's bar. This is the hotel where most of my friends on a budget stay because so far there is a book 4 nights pay for 3 deal if you make a booking through my reservation website here.

The total including taxes is only 4500THB. No breakfast mind you but there's plenty of places to eat on Sukhumvit soi 4. Heaven@4 is another no frills hotel. It's clean and adequate. Nana Plaza is close with a short walk as well as all the other honeys to check out nearby.

I've never stayed at the Heaven@4 either, but again my friends have and I have seen their rooms and for the price it's well worth it. Don't be surprised if there are no rooms available if you're trying to get a room. So be sure to book ahead of time.

DI Place - Very near NEP's go go bars

Now if I want to stay in a newer hotel that is less than a 3 minute walk from Nana Plaza check out the budget DI Place Hotel. You can expect to spend a little over 1200THB for an 18 sq meter room.

There are also a few Thai prostitutes, some are ladyboys if that's what you're looking for standing by the entrance of the soi leading to the hotel. And of course you have the option of just crossing across soi 4 to Nana Hotel for even more ladies to check out. Check out current rates for DI Place because it's very reasonable.

Boss Suites Nana Hotel

If I can spare 1500THB per night then it's a real no brainer. I would stay at the Boss Suites Hotel in a heart beat. Which I have in numerous occassions.

This hotel is located further down Sukhumvit soi 4 from the hotels mentioned above. If you walk from the hotel to Nana Plaza it would probably take about 10 minutes. Or you can simply use the hotel's free one way tuk tuk service.

This is one of my favorite 3 star hotels in the area because there's a nice little pool and a tiny gym. Every time my friends have stayed there it seems like nobody ever uses the facilities. Anyways, this is a good hotel and but because it's so popular and even though it's only 4 years old it is seeing some wear and tear. I noticed it just recently while my friends were staying there.

Besides that tiny nit pick, Boss Suites is a fantastic hotel that only cost between 1500THB to 1600THB. If you're lucky and check through Agoda.com it might also include a coupon for morning buffet breakfast.

Majestic Grande

For the guys who have a little more to spend and want to stay near Nana Plaza, perhaps one of the best 4 star guest friendly hotel from that location is the Majestic Grande.

It's really a nice hotel and ever since it opened back in 2004 I have been raving about it. Even though it's only 10 years old the Majestic G has been renovated just this year. It's a good looking hotel, very comfortable with nicely decorated rooms. Only drawback is it has a small pool and even smaller gym.

Annie's Soapy Massage is right across the soi if you think that's a benefit. I prefer heading to Huay Kwang for body to body soapies.

Anyways if you book in advance for a minimum of 3 nights there is an early bird 20% off discount good until June 30th, 3013 and you can check if there are any rooms available here with discounts at the Majestic Grande. I just stayed there last month for a week. Check out the lunch buffet on the 7th floor. Just 300THB flat and you get an excellent spread of international and Thai food to gorge yourself.

Finally, whenever I want to splurge a bit on a hotel room I head right to the Grande Center Point Sukhumvit. One night will set you back about 3700THB with taxes and if you've got the cash it's all well worth it. The hotel location is simply amazing but I'm too tired to write more. I wrote a review post here so you can check it out.

So there it is. If you have a hard time figuring out where you want to stay I've done the hard part of narrowing all the hotel information down. All of the hotels mentioned above are near a lot of action, go go bars, massage parlors, street hookers, you name it. Plus the BTS Nana Sky Train and MRT subway train station Sukhumvit are also near these hotels.

If you're wondering why there are no recommendations of hotels that cost less 300THB or so is because I personally don't know anyone who wants to stay in a room that cheap. Hell, I don't even know if there are places that cheap in Sukhumvit. Even if there are, I can't vouch for the cleanliness nor safety. And know it'll be a tiny room with no air conditioning. Trust me, it is hot in Bangkok especially as of writing.

And check back for my top Pattaya hotel choices.

Citadines Serviced Apartments in Bangkok

Spaced throughout Sukhumvit road soi's near Bangkok's red light districts are a chain of affordable apartments for long term stayers called Citadines.

Citadines operates in the serviced apartment category of accommodations  Technically, all serviced apartments are guest friendly. But that doesn't necessarily mean you can go nuts and invite a platoon of hookers to your room.

A good buddy of mine who exclusively stays at Citadines brings back 2 to 3 bar girls at a time with no one from the hotel approaching him to pay up a joiner's fee. So if you're planning to have a threesome in the comforts of your own room, Citadines is a good option because it's already close to many places to pick up Thai working girls like Thermae Bar.

I ask a lot of people why they prefer staying at a serviced apartment such as Citadines or Centre Point properties, even though they are a bit more expensive then their hotel counterparts in Bangkok.

And the answer is there are better guests facilities and amenities. Serviced properties are typically equipped with coin operated washer and dryers, a well equipped kitchenette and well maintained pool and fitness facilities. And all Bangkok Citadine properties provide Wi-Fi internet access and new flat screen and appliances.

Studio Room at Citadines Sukhumvit soi 11

Those are all valid points, especially the laundry part. If you're staying in Bangkok for weeks at a time you will want to do your own laundry. I can't tell you how many times I've lost articles of clothing when I trust my soiled clothing to laundry shops on sois. Once it's gone, it's gone and good luck asking for compensation.

Currently, there are 4 Citadine serviced apartments right on Sukhumvit road close to Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza by walking distance. I'll list them first in order of preference:

1. Citadines Sukhumvit Soi 8
2. Citadines Sukhumvit Soi 11
3. Citadines Sukhumvit Soi 16
4. Citadines Sukhumvit Soi 23

The apartment buildings on sois 8 and 11 are both in trendy hot spots of Bangkok's nightlife. Though most of the nightlife establishments found there are mainstream with clubs, pubs and bars ticking with Thai yuppies, expats and tourists. From either one you can walk to Nana or Soi Cowboy in about 10 minutes.

The Citadines on soi 11 is close to Club Climax where many Thai hookers inside ply their trade in the basement of the Ambassador Hotel, which is also guest friendly.

Citadines 16 is the closest to Soi Cowboy, about a 5 minute walk. The last one located on soi 23 is also close to the go go bars of Soi Cowboy but require a 10 minute walk.

All of the properties provide a complimentary tuk tuk shuttle to take you to the entrance of the sois but the distances are easily traversed on foot.

Most of the people I know stay at Citadines on a long term bases, like a few weeks at a time. And they are all in prime location, close to shopping malls and supermarkets, and of course massage parlors, go go bars and Thai freelance hang out spots.

But even if you have just a couple of days to check out Bangkok's nightlife Citadines serviced apartments is a good choice guys looking to stay in Bangkok for just a few days.

This Week's Best Bar Girl Friendly Bangkok Hotel Specials

This week there are 7 hotels I recommend that are guest friendly in Bangkok. The first 4 are right between Nana and Soi Cowboy, so right in Sukhumvit district. Most of the best deals I found for this week are for high end hotels.

For example the 5 star JW Marriott on Sukhumvit soi 2 currently has a 20% discount. I made a review on the JW on my last post here and saw an uptick on bookings. I really had no idea it was such a popular hotel because all this time I've been recommending Thai run hotels which are not as expensive even though the quality of Thai operated hotels are very good. I wouldn't be surprised that if it might had something to do with the fact that the JW Marriott has no problems with guests bringing 2 ladies to their rooms at the same time...

There are 2 hotels I recommend in the Huay Kwang district and close to a lot of soapy massage parlors. If you're not familiar with Huay Kwang it's a good place to stay in Bangkok. It's not crowded and packed like most places in Sukhumvit. And there are MRT subway stations in Huay Kwang and near the hotels I recommend so there's no problem at all if you want to get to Soi Cowboy, Nana and even Patpong red light district quickly.

Finally 1 hotel I recommend is closer to Patpong and because there's such a big discount it deserves a worthy mention.

Hotel Deals in Sukhumvit District

Deluxe room at JW Marriott

JW Marriott Bangkok as I mentioned before has a 20% discount. Nana Plaza's go go bars are not far off, less than a 3 minute walk.

Lots of hookers on soi 4 so there's plenty of nightlife options to keep you busy.

With the discount and taxes included the cost for a deluxe room is about 5500THB ($179USD). And that's a really good price for a 5 star Western affiliated hotel chain. Not exactly sure when this special is over.

Standard room at City Lodge 9

City Lodge 9 is centered between Nana and Soi Cowboy on Sukhumvit soi 9. The hotel is in decent shape but it's managed by a top hotel chain called the Amari Group.

But I know a lot of guys who like to stay there because the location is so good. You're never too far off from a oil massage parlor or a place to get a beer and pick up Thai hookers. And the Nana BTS station is just a short distance away.

Right now a 24 square meter standard room including breakfast cost 1100THB ($36USD) with taxes. This discount is valid until October, 31 2012.

The Manhattan Hotel on Sukuhumvit soi 15 is also in a good location too. It's closer to Soi Cowboy and a there are Thai prostitutes lingering right on Sukhumvit road. But one of the best pick up joints is around the corner in the basement bar of the Ruamchitt Hotel called Thermae.

This is a decent hotel but since it is a very popular budget hotel in the area it has seen a lot of wear and tear. But it is a big property and properly maintained and the location is what really draws guests.

Right now there is a discount for a standard room and cost about 1450THB ($48USD) with taxes. This special ends on October, 31 2012.

For guys who stay in Bangkok weeks at a time here's a very good special I recommend for President Park Hotel on Sukhumvit soi 24.

There's a stay 7 nights get 30% off per night discount. Anyone familiar with the President Park knows that is a fantastic deal because it's a 4 star hotel.

The rate applies to a standard room which is 36 square meters. And the hotel has a nice swimming pool and a decent fitness center. So with the discounts a room comes out to about 1800THB ($59USD) per night which also includes breakfast.

This deal will last quite awhile so need to rush a reservation.

Hotel Discounts near Huay Kwang Soapy Massage Parlors

The Emeral Hotel in Huay Kwang

The Emerald Hotel is a big 4 star property sitting near a cluster of soapy massage parlors. Emmanuelles, Nataree and Caesars just to name a handful are really close to the Emerald.

The Huay Kwang MRT subway station is a 5 minute walk past the mentioned soapie parlors so you can get to Sukhumvit quickly in about 15 minutes.

With a 20% discount and taxes you can stay in a superior room for about 1900THB ($62USD)

Other than the soapies near the hotel there really isn't much else. Though I have seen quite a few prostitutes standing outside the massage establishments.

Hip Hotel - Highly Recommended!

A little further down from the Emerald is the Hip Hotel. I've made review here just a short while ago and it's still by far one of the best budget hotels in Huay Kwang.

And with the current special rate going on for the hotel I highly recommend staying there because it's such a good value.

For 1500THB ($50USD) you get a 35 square meter room called the Cool Studio with taxes and breakfast included. Though there is no pool or gym and Wi-Fi is not free which really sucks. But either way, if you want a very clean and affordable hotel near soapy massages then the Hip Hotel is tops in my book.

An Excellent Hotel with Big Discounts near Patpong Red Light District

Bedroom at Lebua's Superior Suite

A hotel featured in the movie Hangover 2 called the Lebua at State Tower has a big 50% off discount with breakfast included.

Now I've always recommend staying in a hotel near Nana or Soi Cowboy. But ever so often there are deals for hotels in Bangkok with a guest friendly reputation too good to pass up.

The Lebua is about a 20 minute walk to Patpong's go go bars. I would just take a taxi to Patpong or even to Soi Cowboy and Nana. Wouldn't cost a lot of money especially if you can afford to stay at this hotel.

Right now the 50% off discount applies to their 66 square meter Superior Suite room types which cost about 4500THB ($147USD) per night with taxes and breakfast included. And the Lebua is a 5 star hotel which is why those rates are such a steal. The only catch is this deal is over at the end of this month.

One Night in Bangkok? Here's What to Do

I know guys have a hard time figuring out where to go and what to do in Bangkok's red light districts if they only have one night. Especially today when there is simply so much information. And your mind is buzzing around with questions like, "Which massage parlor should I visit?", "Oil massage or soapy?" and "Soi Cowboy, Nana or Patpong go go bars?".

First off you have to be reasonable with the amount of time you have on hand. Say for example you've arrived at your hotel room in Bangkok at around 2pm and won't have to had back to the airport until after 6am. In that case you've got plenty of time in your schedule for go go bar action, a massage with happy ending or a fling with a Thai freelance prostitute.

However if all you've got is just 5 hours in Bangkok then your options have just decreased. Though you're not completely shit out of luck. But hold that thought, I'll get back to how you can get laid in Bangkok with so few hours.

Pick a Hotel near Soi Cowboy or Nana Red Light District

To cut down on travel time from go go bar to massage parlor or beer bar to clubs with Thai hookers I recommend staying at a hotel on Sukhumvit road from Soi 4 to Soi 23. Preferably one that is guest friendly of course.

Because walking from Nana Plaza's go go bars to Soi Cowboy's go go bars requires about a 15 minute walk from one to the other on Sukhumvit road.

Also the Sukhumvit MRT subway stations are near Soi Cowboy which you can connect to the Makkasan Airport train station. It's the quickest and cheapest ride to the airport. 30 minutes and you're at the airport.

But the aiport trains start service around 6am and end about 12am. So keep that in mind while you're planning your trip and wondering whether to take a taxi or airport train.

Taxis are still cheap and quick if the driver takes the highway route. The taxi fare cost about 350THB including highway tolls.

There's no point in staying at airport hotel when you have one full night to fulfill your porn star desires.

You can sort of squeeze in Patpong red light district as well but if you've only have a single night in Bangkok I suggest just to visit Nana Entertainment Plaza and Soi Cowboy. Because Nana and Cowboy both have everything you need and could find in Patpong but with more ranges of adult entertainment venues.

Getting Laid During the Daytime

Bangkok's adult entertainment venues open around 12pm and I'm referring to massage parlors that provide sexual reliefs, blow job bars and the odd bar on Sukhumvit where Thai hookers camp out.

So there's plenty of daytime action. But most naughty boy establishments do not get into full gear until 6pm.

Which means that BJ Bar or oil massage parlor you planned to visit at 1pm will most likely not have a lot of choices of ladies to pick from.

That said, you may find an attractive looking Thai prostitute waiting for customers on the street corners of Soi Nana where a lot of hookers take up space even during the daytime.

Just take a look around the Nana Hotel's parking area in the afternoon time on Nana Soi 4. Or just walk a little further down Soi 4.

The Best Action is Night Time Action

Beginning at 7pm you can find a lot more prostitutes on Sukhumvit road from Soi 3 through Soi 15. Or head into a bar like Gulliver's Tavern on Soi 7 of the beer garden on Soi 7/1. Plenty of Thai hookers stake their grounds their. Depending on Thai hookers look and age the price for short time is at least 1500THB and they won't go for less than that.

Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza go go bars are still sort of quiet around 7pm so the best times to show up to find the most girls on stage is at 9pm.

If you have the libido and endurance here's what I suggest. You can look for a hooker during the afternoon and head back to your hotel to do the deed. Or you can take a visit to any of the BJ Bars on Sukhumvit road. I recommend visiting Lolitas on Sukhumvit road Soi 8.

After a little rest back at your hotel room you can scope out the beer bars on Nana Soi 4. They are great places to sit, chat with girls and have eyes on the sidewalks as streetwalkers start showing up.

Check Out a Soapy Massage (If you have the time and energy)

There are two places you can go. First one is right next to Nana Entertainment Plaza called Annies Massage. The other is called Darlings Massage (no website) on Sukumvit Soi 12. Both are not a far walk from one to the other, just less than a 15 minute walk.

There are more soapy massage parlors though they are located on a strip called Ratchadipesek (Ratchada) road and they are easily reached by taking the MRT subway train.

If you have at least 5 hours in Bangkok and want to get laid then head to an area called Huay Kwang for soapy massage parlors. You usually get about 60 minutes or 90 minutes with soapy girls.

Which means you have plenty of time to get back to a go go bar either in Nana Plaza or Soi Cowboy which close at 1am.

Huay Kwang is not far from the Sukhumvit by MRT train. There is an MRT station right next to Soi Cowboy. You want to take the train to Huay Kwang station which is only 4 stations away, about a 10 minute ride is all it takes.

To End the Night - Head for a Go Go Bar

Nana and Soi Cowboy's popular go go bars are busiest from 8pm to 12:30am. I have 5 favorite go go bars that I love to visit and they are mostly packed with customers during those hours.

And if you're a big fan of ladyboys be sure to check out Nana Entertainment Plaza (NEP). You'll definitely find what you're looking for there.

I prefer visiting NEP's go go bars over Soi Cowboy. This is not to say that I don't like Cowboy. It has a great atmosphere with some of the best go go bars that I always visit.

I like NEP better out of convenience. NEP is on Sukhumvit Soi 4 which means you have the luxury of finding a Thai street hooker in case you don't find anyone you like at a go go bar.

And when the freelance bars in the area close around 1am the sois throughout NEP are flushed with even more prostitutes.

And if you still have plenty of energy and juice you can check out Club Climax in the basement of the Ambassador Hotel. It's a well known after hours club in Bangkok with a ton of freelancers. The Ambassador is good place to stay too because it's guest friendly and located on Sukhumvit Soi 11 so it's not far from either Soi Cowboy or Nana.

So those are your options if you've only have one night to party in Bangkok. Are there more things to do? Of course there are. For me I wouldn't want to waste too much time wandering around Bangkok for action. I would go to a place where everything that I could possibly want and need in one convenient location. And wouldn't want to waste time running around Bangkok on a one nighter. This is especially true if it's your first visit to Bangkok.

So as I mentioned earlier, be realistic with your time and what you can (physically) do. If there's something you missed you can always go back and have the best night of your life in Thailand again!

Nana Hookers in Bangkok

Entrance of Nana Hotel Parking Lot

The Changing Faces of Nana Red Light District

Nana red light district has always been the place to go for finding freelance prostitutes walking the streets and plying their trade in bars and clubs of Sukhumvit. Soi Cowboy doesn't really have a lot of street hookers and it's probably because the location is a bit more upscale. And it's the same story with Patpong red light district in Silom as well.

So if street prostitutes is what you're looking for, head to Nana! Things have changed a lot today however. Years ago you'd only find Thai girls. Now the freelance scene in Nana is like the United Nations of whores.

African hookers near Soi 5

Russian and African hookers have taken up a good portion of what once was Thai territory in and around the Arab quarters of Sukhumvit road Soi 3 thru Soi 7. And from what I've seen, they're running a brisk business.

Though Russian prostitutes particularly Uzbeks have camped out on a large swath of Sukhumvit Soi 3, just right outside the grounds of the Grace Hotel. At night it's not hard to find about 40 Russians standing around with middle easterners haggling for short time rates.

The last I heard Russian hookers in that area charge about 1500THB for short time. Which is right on par. I have to add that there are reports that a large percentage of Russian in Bangkok hookers are victims of sex traffickers. So it's up to your conscience on whether you can deal with that or not.

For Thai Call Girls - Head to Sukumvit Soi 4

The place to find Thai hookers in abundance is right on Sukhumvit road Soi 4 a.k.a. Soi Nana.

Starting by the entrance of Soi 4 right by the Mcdonalds there are working girls standing around most times of the day. There's a street side noodle stand nearby where you can also find ladies eating a meal before heading to their spot in the search for customers. I know one guy who particularly lurks around that area just to scope out the flavor of the night.

Lots of Thai hookers in Nana

At least a dozen Thai call girls can be found lingering around the entrance of the parking lot of the Nana Hotel at sunset. Though a handful of ladies are available for hire in the afternoon if you're seeking daytime action.

Also since Nana Entertainment Plaza's go go bars are right across from the Nana Hotel many bar girls head over to the hotel's parking lot when the bars close at 1am - 2am. And two of my favorite Bangkok go go bars are inside Nana Plaza like Rainbow 4 and I have seen bar girls that work there on the streets after the bars close.

So there are even more prostitutes congregating on the streets of Nana from 1am to 2pm. And with Nana Liquid Disco at the hotel opening late at night your pay for play option has expanded.

But those are not the only places where you can find Thai call girls of course. Sukhumvit Soi 4 has a lot of bars and corners where hookers are waiting to be picked up.

Some establishments have freelancers just sitting inside waiting for guys to approach. Some bars have girls dressed in skimpy outfits to lure men in. And there are pool halls where you can test your skills against a lady who's own skills will most likely put you to shame.

Nana Ladyboys are very popular

Nana Ladyboys

Nana is also a well known location for picking up ladyboy freelancers. Now there's always an inherent danger when dealing with call girls you find on the streets of Bangkok.

This is particularly true with ladyboys. Though there are many in Bangkok working the streets in the world's oldest profession, there are also those that strictly want to rob you blind.

Which is why I suggest staying in a hotel that has a policy of collecting your guests Thai Identification card before they are allowed into your room. These are called guest friendly hotels and will not only provide some security for ladyboys but for real Thai girl freelancers who have ill intentions.

And there are quite a lot of hotels in Sukhumvit that offer that added extra layer of safety and I wrote a post on my recommended hotels in Nana here. If you're planning on inviting street hookers to your room every single night or almost then you might as well pick a hotel in Nana. It really helps to stay close too because not all call girls want to travel too far from their spot especially for short time.

How Much for Sex with Nana Prostitutes?

Surprisingly, the cost for short and long time hasn't changed for a long time across the board. Though working girls on the streets of soi Nana will always quote higher prices these days. But the lowest that I would pay and as far as what others would agree that 1500THB is the going rate for short time.

Always negotiate, but don't overdo it.

Long time rate is a bit more different because there are quite a few variables like what you want the girl to do overnight. I know a few guys who make the girls work like a dog. For example they want a soapy massage experience in the bathtub of their hotel room and a massage with oil. And there are probably a few other odd details involved before full sex but you can't expect a Thai hooker to agree on a 2500THB long time rate for doing all that work.

But typically most Nana street hookers will go for 3000THB to 5000THB for long time. And the price greatly depends on how attractive she is. I also have to add that freelancers have a tendency to leave earlier then agreed upon. So make sure you tell them if they leave earlier then expected you'd have to cut the price down.
