Nightlife in Pattaya

The cool thing about Pattaya is that it is for all tastes - you can always find lots of places to do your thing at. Most of the nightlife action geared towards tourists is found in South Pattaya, with the densest concentration of bars, GoGo bars, massage parlours and discos along the famous neon-drenched strip known as Walking Street. Pattaya is synonymous with nightlife, and go-go bars blazed the trail for all that followed suit. These enclosed bars, in which scantily clad girls strut, shuffle and sway seductively around steel poles, are the reason many come to Pattaya. Usually the entry is free, photography forbidden, music loud, booze flowing, girls available. Nudity is illegal in Thailand, but here in Pattaya's gogo land rules are made to be broken. Prices for drinks average around 120 baht for a beer or shot and mixer, with drinks for your half-naked host coming in at slightly more. Pattaya is famous for its beer bars sometimes also called bar-beer. They're ramshackle, cheap and loud but often a lot of fun – Pattaya's beer bars are quite legendary. Some are in enclosed shophouses, but most come jammed together inside tatty corrugated iron roofed places around Walking Street and lower Beach Road. Anyone on a budget can get a few drinks here quite cheaply
