Bar Types Explained

Beer Bar: an open air bar . They usually consist of stools arranged around a tight horseshoe bar and perhaps a few tables. You are able to pay bar for ladies at beer bars.

Beer complex: a grouping of beer bars. Commonly each bar is owned by different people. Some complexes have a common sound system while in others each bar selects what they want to play.

Short Time (ST) Bar: this is usually a closed air-conditioned establishment. The ladies in ST bars will generally give you a lot more personal attention than those in a beer bar. They have rooms attached to the premises or close by. As the name suggests these places concentrate on providing ladies that go short time. It is possible to take a lady long time but it will cost you more than from a beer bar and the ladies are not always keen to go long time. Soi 6 has many short time bars.

AGoGo (or GoGo bar): a closed and air-conditioned bar. These establishments have ladies that dance for your viewing pleasure. You may pay bar for any of the dancing ladies who is willing to go with you. Many gogo bars also have show girls. These ladies perform special shows which may be sexually explicit or choreographed dancing. These ladies may also be bar fined but in most establishments will cost more that the dancing girls. There is also a third option in these establishments. The service personal (ie the ladies serving you drinks) may also go with you if they like you. Bar fines and drink prices are higher in these establishments than in beer bars.

Hostess Bar: Hostess bars are closed, air-conditioned bars and sort of occupy the middle ground between beer bars and gogo bars. They are somewhat classier than beer bars but on normal nights lack the dancing ladies of the gogo bars. There are ladies that you can pay bar for if you find one that you like. Bar fines and drinks are between those of beer bars and gogo bars.

Pub: If you think of a British pub that is more or less what you will find in Pattaya. These places do not have ladies that you can pay bar for. However, you can try your luck with the service personnel just like you can anywhere in the world. You probably stand a higher chance than in your home country.

Disco: These are more or less like what you will find at home with one rather large exception. At these places you are almost guaranteed to pick up a lady. Freelancers swarm to these establishments. Many of them are sponsored ladies, students or 'normal' ladies looking for a bit of fun and/or extra money. In Pattaya there is no entrance fee but the drinks are comparatively expensive.

Soapy: While not strictly a bar they are a popular alternative for having some fun. These places are massage parlors where 'extras' are part of the deal. Typically you will pick a lady from one sitting in an area behind a glass screen (commonly known as the goldfish bowl) and head to a private room. The lady will wash you then subject you to a massage involving lots of soap and bubbles. It is something that everyone should experience at least once. If you are still up for it you then proceed to the bed for some more fun.

Farang - Thai word for foreigners

The word farang is a pejorative. It's the Thai equivalent of the N word. Every country has their slang words for people they don't like & this is Thailand's bad word. But its meaning has changed. It is now defined as "foreigners other than those from neighbouring countries".

I am told that its original meaning is still understood by Thais but with so many foreign visitors at risk of being offended should they be given a direct translation, an improved, sanitised translation was needed. It's an interesting country that can take a swear word & add it to their vocabulary as something else.

Almost every time I ever hear the word spoken by a local, it is spat out in an aggressive manner. I have no idea what they are saying but I have a fair idea they are not happy.
