The go go bars in Pattaya are world famous. I have been reporting on them for a decade, and visiting them for longer still. I work diligently to keep this list of Pattaya agogos up to date. But things change quickly and often in the bars of the Land of Smiles. As always this list of the best and worst go go bars is provided for entertainment only.
Your mileage may vary. The city of Pattaya first became known internationally after US soldiers were stationed there during the war in Vietnam. After that bars started to spring up, mainly catering to male visitors. Then men started to come in from all around the world to visit the bars. Eventually Walking Street was established with all its go go bars and neon lights.
In more recent years things started to change. Walking Street became a tourist attraction visited by groups of Asian and Russian families on holiday who gawk at the bars and their staff. Family entertainment facilities were built and ladyboy shows started catering to group tours of people from countries like China.
Condos sprung up all over. During all of this the go go bars seemed to decline a bit. The number of ladies in the bars seemed to decrease. At the same time older and less fit ladies started appearing on stages. And there were noticeably fewer customers in many bars.
Yet at the same time, prices have gone up almost universally. This is up from the hundreds common just a few years ago. It also approaches or surpasses places like Germany in terms of the price of sex. The pandemic brought about a lot of changes in Pattaya. Many places closed temporarily only to reopen in some form in Other bars never came back at all. A few places resorted to live streaming to maintain some sort of income. As of Summer however Pattaya does seem to be coming back to life.
