You know, no matter how many articles are published online about Thai bar girls it seems we can never seem to get enough of them.

Although some of you are very familiar with this topic, there are still many readers who are new to the girly bar scene in Thailand.

I wanted to write a whole article dedicated to the bar girls, and to really give an in depth analysis on what they are like, and how foreigners can get the most out of their experiences with them.

Introduction to Thai Bar Girls

The story of most Thai bar girls usually starts off the same way: they get introduced to the industry by a friend, cousin, or even there own mothers.

Many of these young Thai ladies who end up working in the bars have had a aunt or mother who also worked in the industry. So it is not uncommon for many of the bar girls to get somewhat introduced to this type of lifestyle from an early age– getting introduced to the darker side of the entertainment industry in the counrty.

They come to the popular tourist cities in Thailand, for a chance to work and make money off the huge tourism industries in such places like Bangkok, Pattaya, and Patong. And although they may start off as innocent as they look, they usually end up very experienced and business minded as they age.

In Thailand, there are two types of bar girls, and they have some differences to them:

Thai Go Go Girls

They tend to be more younger and attractive ones. The reasons for this is because they work in the go go bars, which usually have the “higher spending” customers, who have a demand for the most attractive dancers.

Another reason is that the overhead to run a Thai go go bar costs more than a beer bar, so the managers tend to hire the best girls, in order to attract the big spending customers and push the business into high profits. So the Thai go go girls have the bragging rights in most cases, and tend to make the most money.

Thai Beer Bar Girls

They are another class of bars that hire Thai girls to work for them. In these bars the ladies tend to be somewhat older, and generally speaking, not as attractive as the go go bar girls.

Now don’t get me wrong, there will always be exceptions, and you could sometimes see that a beer bar has a couple girls that are on the same attractiveness scale as some of the go go girls. However, for the most part, the beer bars can only hire bar girls that fall within their business class, which is, decent looking Thai girls aged from 30 and up. There are also many transgender bar girls in Thailand, which are called ladyboys.

The “Interview” Process With Thai Bar Girls

So eventually, once you are in Thailand you will get to the point of visiting a girly bar. And for most guys, they will end up having a few drinks and would like one of the bar girls to come and sit with them, and potentially, bar fine her.

The interview process is the step where you buy the bar girl a Lady Drink, and get have some conversation with her. Most guys call this the “interview”, because it gives you a chance to know more about here in these ways:

• Her history at the bar
• The type of personality she has
• things she likes and doesn’t like

But most importantly, the interview process gives you insights to see whether or not she is worth the bar fine. It also gives you an idea if she is fun to be with.

Some good advice is to let loose during the interview. Enjoy the whole scene, and also make sure that she knows you are enjoying her company.

The way to get Thai bar girls to relax around you is to lead by example. Generally, the more confident and happy you appear, the more she will too.

The whole point of attracting bar girls, besides money, is to make her intrigued about you. The way to do that is to not appear stingy with your money. Rather, make her feel that being with you is associated with fun times.

If you notice that she is acting “cold’ in the bar, or seems not interested in you then you have 3 choices:

1. Let her know that you are not interested, and would like to have a drink by yourself. This also gives you a chance to buy another girl a Lady Drink
2. Barfine her anyway. Just keep in mind that this is risky. It most likely will be a rushed experience, and very business-like.
3. Leave the bar and go to another place to find a Thai girl.

Prices

Many gentlemen want to the know the current Thai bar fine prices and all in costs. Here is what you can expect in 2020:

BEER BARS
Barfine: around 500 Baht
Short time: 1500 – 2000 Baht
Long Time: 2000 – 2500 Baht

GO GO BARS
Barfine: from 600 – 1000 Baht at most places
Short time: 2000 – 2500 Baht
Long Time: 3000 – 5000 Baht

As always, you should do your best to get the best prices by negotiating, and taking the girl that are interested in going with you. By doing that you will end up getting the lower end of the prices.

Also, keep in mind that certain girls will never budge from their price. If she knows here value, and is in demand, she will know her worth.

Thai Culture and Bar Girls

There are many misconceptions when it comes to bar girls in Thailand.

For many tourists, they still aren’t familiar with the mindset of Thai Culture. They may not understand why the bar girls would want to work in the girly bars. What those people fail to realize is that prostitution in Thailand is not as taboo as it might be in some other places in the world. It was legalized during the previous Kingdoms.

In many Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand, sex is looked upon as a therapeutic release that both men and woman need for physiological and psychological well-being.

The history of women who work in these types of establishments in Thailand spans decades, and maybe even centuries. And contrary to what most think, many of the girls that work in the bars to so on their own accord. They look at it like a job, a means to make money, and to support there families and themselves.

Speaking to many of them personally, I realized that many of them seem to enjoy working in the bars. They find it exciting to meet tourists, having some drinks in the process. These girls get to experience a part of Thai tourism that most other women never will.

Dating & Relationships With Thai Bar Girls

Getting involved in relationships or dating bar girls is a hot topic in today’s world.

For the experienced guys, who spend lots of time in the bar scene, it becomes almost certain that they meet a few girls that they actually like. For the new guys, the curiosity of dating a bar girl, and having her as his Thai girlfriend is always there.

The attraction to bar girls is hard to deny.

It all starts out like a fantasy at first. We see these hot girls in the bar, have some drinks with them, and experience them in the bedroom. It is a fast paced game where we may fall in love within a short amount of time.

Another point is that most of the gentlemen that frequent the girly bars are already looking for some female attention. and are open to their advances.

Whatever the reasons are, the reality is that these types of relationships exist in Thailand. For the bar girls, dating a foreigner is also looked upon as a novelty, especially if the man has some lots of money and status. The girls also like to show off their “farang” boyfriend to their friends, family, and others who work at the bar.

Whether these types of relationships with Thai bar girls can stand the test of time is a complex matter, and is too big of a topic to cover in this article here. In my personal opinion and experience, most of them will not work out in the long run, but some do.

Bangkok has the most number of freelancers of any city in Thailand. Not only does the city attract a lot of tourists, but it also attracts many of the Thai women from other regions of the country.

They come Bangkok in hopes of finding some independent business to do. And what better than to keep the male foreigners company, in exchange for some payment.

In this article I will give you a brief intro on the topic, then the best places to find freelancers in Bangkok. We will also learn about the prices, attitudes, and more helpful info in 2019.

Intro

The huge influx of freelancers in this city has created an interesting supply and demand balance. No matter how many single male foreigners come to experience the nightlife areas in Bangkok, there always seems to enough working women to supply the consistent demand of male sex tourists. A huge portion of these women are the freelancers, and in terms of value, it may be the best option for most guys in Bangkok.

It can be a great thing to deal with the women directly, without having a bar act like a “middle man” to broker the deal. The high bar fine prices, lady drinks, and also your own drinks at the best girly bars makes it a smart choice to attain the services of freelancers these days.

Another guaranteed option is to head to the massage parlors, but those aren’t quite as cheap as most guys would like to pay for services in Bangkok.

Here are the best areas to find freelancers:

Nana Plaza Area

As the sun sets, you will gradually find more and more working women lined up just across the entrance to Nana Plaza, which is on Sukhumvit Soi 4. You will find freelancers pretty much on both sides of Soi 4, the closer it gets to Nana Plaza entrance. This is also where you find lots of Ladyboys, they are also called Katoys in Thailand.

For those of you that are new to the scene, just be aware that there will be quite a few ladyboys in this area as well.

Sukhumvit Road

The Sukhumvit stretch, mainly from around Soi 5 all the way to Soi 17.

In the evenings, and until late is where you can find many Thai women freelancers waiting for potential clients to walk by. This will be on the north side of Sukhumvit Road, the odd numbered Sois.

A large portion of these freelancers will be hanging outside (and inside) the famous Thermae Bar, located near Sukhumvit Soi 15. It is well-known place to find freelancers in Bangkok.

Nightclubs & Bars

Another great way to find freelancers in the city is to check out some of the popular nightclubs. Most of the clubs with working women will be around the popular foreigner areas such as Sukumvit. Some great nightclubs in Bangkok to find freelancers are Insanity, Mixx (at the Intercontinental Hotel basement), Sugar.

Some of the beer bars around Sukhumvit are also potential places to find some freelance working girls. The Beer Garden on Soi 7 is always a good place in this regard, and also some of the bars around the Nana Plaza.

Generally, you may find a potential freelancer in any of the tourist bars around the Sukhumvit Road area, especially around the red light districts, Soi 7, Soi 11, and Nana Plaza.

Online

Online is easily one of the best and easiest ways to find freelancers in Bangkok. There is a huge listing of profiles of women who are open to meet foreign males in exchange for some payment. This includes all types, from full pros, to semi-pros who are working independently to make some extra money on the side.

In terms of value, it may even be the cheapest. You don’t need to head out into the streets, bars, nightclubs to find women. All of which costs money to do.

Meeting all types of women online in Bangkok can easily be done by using a site like ThaiFriendly, which will give you quick access to a large listing of profiles to view.

Freelancer Prices in Bangkok

The cost of the getting the services from an independent freelancer is the following:

• Short Time: Around 1,000 Baht – 1,500 Baht
• Long Time: 2,000 Baht – 3,000 Baht

As always, keep in mind that the cost varies. The more younger and attractive women will be asking for the higher end of the prices.

Experience is also a factor. Once you understand the pricing and how to negotiate you will generally be paying the low end of the prices for the services. The prices I mentioned are the going rates for most women at the time of this writing (2022).

Freelancers Vs Bar Girls

As mentioned before, there is some key differences to know when it comes to getting your service from freelancers, as compared to the bar girls.

The main difference is that that freelancers work independently, and are not affiliated with any bar. So you may not be able to track her down in Bangkok. If anything goes wrong in the transaction, or if she steals anything from your room then you are most likely going to have to deal with it on your own or just accept what happened. Although it happens very rarely, it is still important enough for me to mention it.

The second factor is that bar girls get routinely tested for STD’s, whereas freelancers do not. There is a certain risk factor when it comes to getting services from a freelancers, but most guys are willing to compromise on that due to the cheaper prices and convenience.

The good thing is that with more experience you will get a better idea of which freelancers are worth going with, and which ones to avoid. But lets be honest, in this industry there is always a certain risk, even with bar girls.

Although the nightlife experience is what most people come to Phuket for, the soapy massage parlors can be a great way to take a break from the girly bars. You can cool off and get a massage, followed by some sort of erotic service.

The soapy massage experience is somewhat different than what you would expect at the oil massage shops scattered all over the city. The services in these parlors are guaranteed and included in the price.

In the oil massage shops you typically get your massage in a small basic room, or on tables with curtain dividers. The masseuses will do the service, and sometimes will ask you if you would like extra “relief”. The cost for that is not included in the price of the massage, and can be negotiated directly with her, which can range from 500 to 1000 Baht depending on what she offers you.

The soapy massage parlors are housed in bigger buildings, and have much more ladies that you can pick from. The whole experience is higher quality, as you can walk in, order a drink, then take your time deciding on the which of the ladies you want to get service from.

They will be usually sitting on couches behind a glass panel (typically called “fishbowls”. Once you select your masseuse you can pay the bill, then proceed to a comfortable private room, where she will shower with you, give you a nice sensual body to body massage, followed by sex.

Here are the best Soapy Massage parlors in Phuket:

Christin Massage (Patong)

Located in Ratuthit Road in Patong, Christin Massage is the one and only soapy massage parlor in this area of Phuket.

It is a huge building complex which easily grabs your attention, and the bright pinkish color can easily be spotted even a few hundred meters away.

There are usually about 20 – 30 ladies working at any time, and quite a few of them are very attractive and worth trying out.

A good strategy is to sit down, order a drink, then take your time to select a girl that looks happy to go with you and is a good match to your preferences. Once you are ready just simply notify the manager of your choice.

• Location: Ratuthit Road (Patong)
• Prices: 2,800 Baht / 3,300 Baht
• Hours: 12PM – 12AM

Katherin Massage

Katherine Massage is a much smaller complex than Christin in Patong, just like most other sex massage parlors are in Phuket Town. But they usually have a decent selection of girls working at any given time.

The rooms are basic, and there is only a shower. The main advantage of this place is the price and service, which is a massage followed by full service.

• Location: Phoonpon Road (Phuket Town)
• Prices: 2,000 Baht (1 hour)
• Hours: 2PM – 12 AM

Angel Massage

On the same street as the Katherin above, New Angel Massage has decent facilities, but the selection of massuses is not so great. They will typically have around 7 to 10 ladies working at any given time.

The service itself is standard, which will be a shower, followed by a massage, then full service.

• Location: Phoonpon Road (Phuket Town)
• Prices: 2,000 Baht (1 hour)
• Hours: 5PM – 12AM

Bangkok Traditional Massage

Is located in the complex on Bangkok Road in Phuket. It maybe a bit confusing to find the place since the sign is written in Thai behind a pink background, and the “massage” is written in English in Neon green lighting.

Generally has more ladies than the smaller parlors on Phon Pon Road, but it can vary depending on the time of day.

• Location: Bangkok Road (Phuket Town)
• Prices: 2,000 Baht (1 hour)
• Hours: 6PM – 12AM

Violin Massage

Another option to check out in the Phon Pon Road. There are around 10-15 lady masseuses available at the Violin Massage parlor at any given time. Worth a quick check whenever you are in the Phuket Town area.

• Location: Phoonpon Rd
• Prices: 2,000 Bath – 2,500 Baht
• Hours: 5PM – 12AM

Many of you guys who end up visiting Phuket are also interested in knowing more about the freelancer girls and where to find them.

And now in 2019, these independent women seem to be offering a much better value then the pricey but exciting go go bars around Patong, including the beer bars.

In this guide I will give you guys a good idea of the best areas around Patong to find freelancers, including the prices to expect, and some more details to help you out in the process.

What Are Freelancers?

In simple terms, freelancers are the independent working women in Phuket who are willing to go with customers, for a given price.

The main advantage in attaining their services is that they are not associated to any girly bars, and work on their own. That means that you do not have to pay any extra money on bar fines and lady drinks. You can easily negotiate with them directly and come to an agreement about the price, how long you would like to hire her, and also what you expect of her in terms of sex.

The Pros and Cons

Although getting a freelancer in Patong does save you time and money, it does have some pros and cons about it:

Pros

• No barfine costs
• No lady drinks (or your own drinks at bars)
• Spending extra time, money, and effort in the bars
• Generally is more discreet than going to the bars

Cons

• you may not be able to track them in case of any problems (they are not associated with any bar)
• Safety concerns. You should be more cautious when they come to your room
• If you find them online, they may not always look the way they seem in the picture.

By now you should be a getting a better idea about freelancers, and next I will tell you about the best locations to find them in Phuket.

Freelancers In Nightclubs

The nightclubs in and around Soi Bangla are a great way to find some cute Thai women who are willing to freelance their services. Not only can you see them in person, you can also have a great time partying yourself in the process.

Just keep in mind that in some of the clubs you may also have a high percentage of normal Thai girls or foreign girls who are there just to party.

A general way to recognize freelancers is that they will usually make a lot of eye contact with you, smile, or try and come close to you. Furthermore, if you notice that she is alone, and doing all the eye contact, then that is a very easy way to tell she is working and willing to go with a customer.

Online

Meeting freelancers online in Phuket is easily one of the best ways to get the best value in town. There is a huge quantity of women who have profiles set up, and willing to meet with foreign guys in exchange for payment.

The good thing about the online scene is that you can browse all the profiles, selecting the ones that interest you the most. It gives you some flexibility and convenience. You can simply use your phone anytime of the day, and see who is online and willing to meet you.

A small drawback about freelancers online is that sometimes their profile picture can be misleading, and not accurate of how they really look like in person. On the rare occasion you will even notice some Ladyboys are pretending to be women, and will not directly tell you that they are ladyboys, until you ask them.

Soi Bangla

The nightlife areas around Soi Bangla are an excellent place to find lots of girls in Phuket, which of course means many freelancers who come looking for business. As mentioned before, the surrounding nightclubs in this area is also a reason why they come here, since they end up partying at clubs as the night progresses.

Another area to look out for freelancers along Patong Beach road, especially around the busy Soi Bangla area. It is common to find Thai women women roaming around is small groups or on their own, waiting for customers.

Prices

The current cost of freelancers in Phuket is between 1,000 – 1,500 Baht for short time. Most will prefer short time, but you can negotiate for long time which will typically be between 2,000 – 2,500 Baht.

Another thing to mention is that pricing, for the most part depends on the ladies attractiveness and age. Just because they work independent does not mean you won’t find some of them to be on par with the go go bar girls. These days, a large portion of the ladies prefer to work on their own schedule, without commitment to any bars. It is not rare to find freelancers who have the potential to work in the bars.

Pattaya has arguably the most bar girls of any city in Thailand. The city is a playground not only for foreigners, but the many ladies that come here to work in hopes of making some money from the huge bar industry in Pattaya.

In this guide I wanted to give you the full info on the Pattaya bar girls, including the different types, their attitudes, prices, and how to increase your chances of getting the preferred “girlfriend experience” (GFE).

Beer Bar Girls

These women who work in the beer bars are typically of a lower standard than what you would find in the go go bars, and they know it. Their ages ranges are from 25 years old to 40 years old, with many of them being over 30. The exception to this is the girls from the Soi 6 bars, which are much younger than what you would find in the majority of the other beer bars areas in Pattaya.

In most cases, the girls that work in these beer bars can’t work in the top tier go go bars, since they aren’t as attractive, slim, or young enough. This has some good and bad points.

The good points is that they can be taken out for much cheaper than the the go go bar girls, and they generally give better performances, since they understand they may not get bar fined as often.

The bad points is that you will have a harder time finding one that is really attractive and young. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that it is impossible. I am just saying that you will have to do some more searching in order to find one that is close to a go go girl in Pattaya.

Go Go Bar Girls

The go go bar girls are one level up from the beer bar girls, and they know it! These ladies know there worth. They understand that they are more attractive and younger than other women working in the bar industry in Pattaya, or freelancing in the nightclubs on Walking Street.

So naturally, the drawbacks to this is that go go bar girls will charge you more for taking them out, and you also have to spend extra on lady drinks and bar fines. Another thing about these girls is that they are more picky and choosy who they go with, since they also make decent money on lady drinks and salary.

It is not uncommon for some guys to get turned down at the go go bars. That is also one reason why some guys just end up using the the soapy massage parlors to find an attractive and young Thai girl, rather then spending too much time searching for bar girls in the nightlife areas of the city.

The good thing is that most of these go go bar dancers are super attractive, young, slim, and lighter skinned (preferred by most Asian clientele). In most cases it will be money well spent, and you can be assured to find some beautiful girl up to your standards to take back to your hotel room. Just make sure that your hotel in Pattaya is guest friendly.

Another great thing is that it is less time consuming. You can quickly head to a go go bar and expect to find many beautiful bar girls worth spending money on in Pattaya.

The same thing can not be said about the beer bars or when trying to find freelancers in Pattaya. Sometimes you waste time and money bar hopping to find a girl worth bar fining, and even then you may not be fully happy with what you found. So it is up to you to decide what is more important for you.

Prices

But lets get real, the money is one of the biggest factors when it comes to choosing the right bar girl to take out. So here is what to expect:

Beer Bar Girls in Pattaya will cost around 500 – 600 Baht for bar fines, and another 1000 – 1500 Baht for ST. For long time it will be from 1500 Baht to 2,500 Baht. Keep in mind that lady drinks will cost around 110 – 120 Baht at most beer bars.

Go go bar girls will have a barfine between 800 – 1,000 Baht at most places. It will cost around 2,000 – 3,000 Baht for ST, and from 3,000 – 5,000 Baht for long time. Lady drinks will cost anywhere around 145 – 160 Baht depending on the bar.

At both types of bars, the attractive and younger girls will expect the higher end of the prices I mentioned.

The Girlfriend Experience

One of the main things that most guys desire in Pattaya, especially when they take out a bar girl is to get the “girlfriend experience” (GFE) from them. This just means that rather then being so professional and business minded, the bar girl will treat the customer as if he was her boyfriend for the time they spend togther. in most cases this usually means:

• less time she is on her phone, and more attention on you
• better performance and attitudes in the bedroom
• will not rush the service, less “starfish” performance
• willing to spend more days with you

Keep in mind that every guy has his own standards about the GFE, but those things I mentioned are definitely some of the main complains I hear from most guys in Pattaya.

The truth is that getting the GFE is getting harder and harder these days, as these girls that work in the bars in Pattaya are mainly concerned about making the quick money, rather than building good connections with customers for repeat barfines.

That being said, there are still some things that can increase your chances of getting the best treatment from them. Here are some tips to keep in mind when you select a girl to bar fine. Make sure to select a bar girl that:

• Makes an effort to smile or get your attention in the bar
• Is willing to have some conversations with you and get to know you
• Does not look so serious or professional
• Is not constantly asking for lady drinks

Generally speaking, it will be hard to avoid all those things, but try to see the red flags with bar girls before taking them out. The best advice is to use your own gut instinct. If it feels like she is rushing you, or you can tell she won’t give a bit of GFE, then it may better to find another girl in the bar.

On the other hand, if you feel that you are vibing with her, and she is making some effort on her behalf, then it is a good sign it will be money well spent to go with her.

On a side note, the Philippines is generally better for trying to get the GFE in Southeast Asia.

Negotiating Tips

Of course if you want to spend more time with her then you will need to negotiate for a price, which does not include the barfine.

A good advice is to first see how you are vibing with her before even asking her the price. Chances are that she will actually ask you if you want to take her out. And in my experience, this is a good sign. Once she is making an effort to know you, or is becoming comfortable with you, is the best time to start talking about the price.

A simple tip is to just play it cool, enjoy yourself in the bar, and just ask her what she expects if she comes back with you. If she gives you a high price do not act so surprised or that it affected you.

Just keep the conversation going and tell her what price you would like to give her. If she does not budge from her price point that can sometimes be a red flag. Because if she really felt comfortable with you she should be willing to make a deal with you.

At that point it is really up to you what you want to do. If you really like her then just simply agree to her price and take her. If you don’t think it will be a good choice then just don’t agree to take her for her price. But whatever you do, just keep your cool and keep enjoying yourself in the bar. Having fun in the bar is the main thing that these bar girls in Pattaya get drawn to.

• Complete Guide to Girls in Pattaya for 2019

Pattaya is famous for many things, and the Soapy Massage Parlors are definitely one of them. These places offer a more relaxed experience as compared to the usual hustle and bustle nightlife scenes in Pattaya.

In this guide I will introduce you guys to the Soapy Massage experience in this city, and also give some more info such as the prices and locations.

Intro

The Soapy Massage Parlors are the cream of the crop of the “full service” massage industry in Pattaya. These are the places that you could easily walk into, select a beautiful Thai lady to give you a sensual body to body massage, followed by extra services.

The reason why they are so great is that they usually have a large amount of sexy masseuses working each and every day, with many of them being much more attractive then what you would find at most beer bars or other smaller “oil massage” shops around the city.

The Soapy Massage places are the place to be for a more private and luxurious experience. You can be guaranteed to enjoy some time with the beautiful Thai ladies while on holiday, without having to bring back any ladies to the hotel.

Although the go go bars are fun, but they usually end up costing much more once you factor in the lady drinks, and bar fine prices. Heading out to the best nightclubs can be a good way to find freelancers in Pattaya , but it will also take some time and effort on your part, and it is not guaranteed you will find an attractive girl on the same level of the massage parlor girls.

Generally, taking out girls from the red light districts is not as discreet as going to these massage parlors.

So although you can sex for cheaper elsewhere in Pattaya, you can use the Soapy Massage places as a treat here and there. And in my personal opinion, the extra price is well worth it, since you are getting a better quality experience as compared to the standard oil massage shops. And as of now there are no Transgender Soapy Massage parlors in Pattaya, but there might be in the future.

Prices

I will list you the price for each place further down, but I wanted to give you guys a general idea even before continuing the article. These are the range of prices to expect in Pattaya:

2,000 Baht – 5,000 Baht

Yes, it can be pricey. But keep in mind that the higher prices are for the top tier girls.

It also depends on other factors like age, and skin color. Usually the younger and lighter skinned women have higher prices.

Once you walk into the massage parlors you will notice that girls are sitting in different groups according to their price tag or randomly with color coded tag. Simple stay within your budget and select the best masseuse according to your personal preference.

The management here is quite good, with an emphasis on customer satisfaction. The girls are attractive, but there aren’t as many working when compared to some of the other larger massage parlors.

The recent pricing is also quite varied, check it out below.

It is located on Second Road, so there are other similar parlors nearby. However, The Sabai Room is very popular, and even preferred by many guys due to it having a long standing reputation in Pattaya.

For an extra 200 Baht you can get a Yoghurt Massage, which is also on the menu as an add on to your massage.

Many attractive masseuses working everyday (about 50-60), so you got a great selection here.

It is conveniently located to a few other popular parlors, and also a 5 minute walk to Soi 6 bars.

Sabai Dee Body Massage

Sabai Dee is definitely one of the best soapy massage in Pattaya. Not only do they have the most girls working, but many of the them are very attractive and worth going with.

This establishment has been in business for a long time, and is very popular among the male tourists who are interested in these types of massages. The consistent service and quality is what keeps the clients coming back for a nice relaxing body to body massage, followed by an enjoyable full service afterwards.

You can simply relax in the huge lobby, order some drinks, and take in the beautiful scene of so many girls waiting to be chosen. Similar to some other massage parlors, the women here will also be sitting according to their price category.

• Location: Second Road (North Pattaya)
• Prices: 2,000 Baht – 2,400 Baht
• Hours: 12PM – 12 AM

Rasputin

Rasputin is also one of the few reputable parlors in the north Pattaya area off Second Road.

Being a top tier parlor, they also have a handful of Eastern European women working here, most of which are Russian. The pricing for these European ladies is higher than the Thai women, usually around 6,500 to 7,000 Baht. A bit pricey, but maybe it can be justified as they are attractive and young.

But of course, the Thai women are the main selling point here, and there are around 60-70 beautiful ladies working at any given time.

The location is also interesting, it is near Soi 6. So whenever you are in the area you could easily check out both places in just a few minutes walk.

This establishment has been in the business since 2002, and is one of the longest running soapy massage parlors in Pattaya.

The rooms are clean, comfortable and very spacious. The overall ambience of the place is great.

There are about 40-50 ladies working at any given time, and most are attractive and worth getting a massage from.

How Soapy Massages Work

One of the best things about these massage parlors is how simple and easy the whole procedure is.

They way it works is that you walk in to the parlor, and take seat at one of the comfortable couches. Then you could order a nice cold drink, and take your time to select which lady you would like to get the service from.

At this stage you will also notice that some of the girls are trying to get your attention, by smiling or winking at you. This is usually a good sign, as it is an indicator that they would like you to choose them, and that they are willing to go with you.

You can also ask the papasan any questions you have about the pricing of the women, or any other inquiries you have. Maybe you prefer a masseuse with some experience, or you want a newer girl who has just started working recently.

The best advice is to take your time and choose one of the ladies that seems interested to go with you. Usually that is a great way to increase the chances of getting a great experience.

So in some ways it is similar like choosing a go go bar girl. You usually want to pick the ones that seem to interested in you as well.

Once you select the masseuses you want, you will be making payment to the cashier, and the lady will meet you in order to take you to the massage room. This is also a good time to be friendly with her, smile, and make her feel comfortable around you. Of course, it also helps to buy her a nice drink for her to enjoy in the room with you.

Back in the massage room you can take a shower together, where she will clean you up, and proceed to give you a nice and sensual body to body massage on the air mattress. It really is great feeling, and most guys agree that it is one of the experience that every guy should try at least once in their life.

After the body massage you can expect to get the full service that you came to get. Once the service is finished you can take another shower, and some girls will proceed to give you another simple massage to finish the whole experience.

In this article I wanted to give you guys a better understanding of the personality traits of a Thai woman. While it is true that some of their behaviors are wonderful, they also have some characteristics which can be difficult to grasp.

Before we get started, lets make a point clear. I am not saying that all Thai women will have these types of characteristics.

Of course, individual mannerism and behaviors also depends on personal ethics and morals. But from my experience, understanding a Thai woman can be done by paying attention of the following things:

The Good Traits

Kind Hearted (“Big Heart”)

She will not be hesitant to show her affection to you, and is not afraid to open her heart to foreign men. If she feels that something is in line with her moral and ethics, she will put a lot of effort into it.

You will also notice that a Thai woman can be very in-tune with her emotions — and even driven by them.

While it is true that many Thai women are smart when it comes to relationships, they are also known to get “crazy in love”. This happens because they usually give themselves fully into situations and people. Even as Thai women age into midlife, they are very tolerant of themselves and understand the changes one may go through.

They have a big heart, and will make it known to the people around them. This is even more true when it comes to their family and loved ones. They will sacrifice their own happiness for their parents, husbands, and children. Many foreign men want to marry Thai women these types of reasons.

Thai Women Are Giving in Relationships

When a Thai woman is in a relationship she will do whatever she can to keep the relationship healthy and balanced. She won’t hold back when she likes you, especially when they love him.

As long as you treat them fairly, honestly, and show them affection they will return the favor and more.

It can be very true, they make excellent long term partners, especially if you find a good one with solid family values. That is also why they will greatly appreciate when you make an effort to understand Thai language. Some basic Thai phrases will get you started.

A Thai Woman Understands The Feminine Role

A Thai woman will understand the gender roles within relationships perfectly. Her personality has been built upon understanding this dynamic from an early age. Thai parents raise their children with traditional values, which includes a good understanding of gender roles within relationships.

Thai women understand gender roles. They expect the man to do the “manly” things, and they will fulfill the feminine aspects of relationship dynamics. All this happens naturally with a Thai woman, and it really is one of their best personality traits. She will make an effort to cook, clean, do laundry, take care of the kids, and even give you her feminine opinion on things.

Faithful To Her Partner

I know some guys may not agree with me, but from my experience, when a Thai woman likes you, she will remain loyal to you. They have no problem being faithful to one man, as long as he is loyal and honest in return. A Thai woman will tolerate many things, so long as she feels loved and cherished. Once you learn these things about her you can master your ability to know her behaviors in relationships.

Of course, she must be interested in him in the first place. When a Thai woman is satisfied by her partner, she will not be looking elsewhere. Most of the problems that I have seen with infidelity have been as a result of the man not being honest with her, or her not feeling satisfied with him.

The Bad Traits of Thai Women

Jealousy

Unfortunately, Thai women are known to get jealous easily.

If they see you talking to other women or getting close with them, even as friends, they make not feel comfortable with that. And if they catch you cheating on them it can get ugly very fast, even maybe dangerous for you.

They don’t like getting lied to, and they don’t like “losing face”. So if they see you are making them jealous in public then you must realize that she may get even more angry at you.

The jealous personality trait of Thai women can even be seen with the bar girls, who don’t appreciate when their customers takes out other girls in the same bar.

Stubborn

Yes, some Thai women can be very stubborn.

If they have their mind set on something then it will be hard to get them to think of something else.

If they want to stay in a certain situation, even if it is bad for them, they may stay simply for reasons that may not make sense to you. It can be hard for them to realize the facts of something. They may not consider your advice at all.

They tend to make emotional based decisions, and will stick by them. This is also why some guys have seen that Thai women to do not just “forgive and forget” easily. Please consider that Thai women may hold grudges for a long time.

Judgemental Without Reason

One of the worst traits I have seen in them is the “quick to judge” personality trait. They easily judge people and situations around them, and due to their stubbornness, it will be easy for them to keep repeating the same cycle over and over again.

They may judge other Thai women at their work, or even foreigners. She will easily criticize other nationalities, your ex girlfriends, her own ex boyfriends. It is almost never ending.

Temperamental

Last but not least, they can be quite temperamental or “hot blooded”. They can act instinctual and respond harshly when they get angry. They can “lose themselves” in the heat of the moment. When they argue, they will talk loud and not feel ashamed of it — even in public.

So my advice, try not to piss them off, you will quickly see the emotional fire in their personality. Of course, this is also related to their passion. So in some ways, it can also be a good thing, since they are also quite passionate in the bedroom.

So there you have it, my perspective on this topic. I would like to hear from you and your thoughts on the many personality traits of Thai women.

Introduction to Girl Friendly Hotels in Pattaya

The great thing about this city is sheer amount of hotels. Not only are there so many accommodations, but they are very reasonably priced compared to other popular tourist destinations around the world.

• Top 25 Guest Friendly Hotels in Phuket [2019]

In this guide I will give you the the full info about freelancers in Pattaya, including where to find them and the prices to expect in 2020. And as usual, I will also give you some personal tips throughout the article to give you a full perspective on how to get the best experience with them.

Simply put, paying a freelancer is now one of the most affordable options in Pattaya, especially since the price inflation of the bars and drinks prices has driven demand down in those businesses. The city’s nightlife is still great, but not as affordable as it once was.

Introduction

The great thing is that the price increases have actually increased the supply of the freelancers in the city. The fact is that most of the single male foreigners who visit Pattaya are coming for the value the city represents.

So while its true that the go go bars and soapy massage parlors are a fun experience, but they may be a bit too pricey, especially since the Thai Baht is very strong at the time of this writing.

The Pattaya tourism experienced a downturn in the number of tourists this year, especially during the low season. The value the city represented was not there anymore.

The prices for drinks in some of the bars and clubs are now almost the same, if not more than your own city back home, which has made some guys think twice about how long they stay here.

The less customers in the bars and streets, the less money all the girls in Pattaya can make. So thankfully, the freelance scene in Pattaya is still going strong, and even seems to be thriving more than ever.

It has also brought in a whole new category of “semi-pro” freelancers. These are the ones that don’t wish to work in the bars, but still want to make some (independent) money on the side and do it on their own time.

And keep in mind to stay in a girl friendly hotel, so you can easily bring back any freelancers without any hassles.

Pattaya Beach Road

Pattaya Beach Road is still one of the best places to find freelancers, especially from the section of Soi 8 to the end of Beach road near Walking Street. There will also be plenty of them on the opposite side of the street, especially in the area where many motorbikes are parked.

Starting from around 6 PM, to well into the night, you will many girls who are willing to give with customers for a price. Generally speaking, the price for a Pattaya Beach road girl is still fairly inexpensive, and a good value these days.

Nightclubs & Bars

Although you may find freelancers scattered all over the tourist areas of Pattaya, you will find many of them in the nightclubs on Walking Street.

The freelancers in the nightclubs are very noticeable, since they will make a good effort to make eye contact with you and smile. And if they happen to be interested in you they will even approach you and start dancing with you.

The best way to get freelancers in the clubs is to relax and enjoy yourself. Smile to the girls, and give off a good friendly vibe. Enjoy your drink, dance, and approach the girls you find attractive. It really is up to you how you want to approach. Some guys are very direct and ask the girls how much they want, other guys are more discreet and like to build up some connection before discussing money.

Online

The freelancers online in Pattaya offer some of the best value in all of Thailand. Not only are there so many girls online, but they actually outnumber the demand. So if you are patient, and know how to communicate the right way with them, you can really find some good ones.

The good thing about the online scene is that it is very convenient. You can easily use your smart phone to view the profiles and start communicating with the ones that interest you. Also, if you post a few decent pictures you will notice that they are the ones that start to chat with you.

Freelancer Prices

Short Time: 1,000 Baht – 1,500 Baht
Long Time: 1,500 – 2,500 Baht

The prices can be negotiated, since they also depends on some other factors:

• Her Age
• Physical appearance
• Your own appearance and attitude

Generally speaking, the more experience you have, the easier it will be for you to find the good ones for the lowest price.

And the opposite hold true — if you are a newbie to Pattaya then you will most likely pay the higher end of the prices mentioned. But keep those prices I mentioned as a good reference point, and try not to pay over that.

Are They The Best Value in Pattaya?

Keep in mind that freelancer prices are negotiable in Pattaya, so it depends on how attractive she is and how young she is. The bottom line is that it is up to her if she even wants to go with you. So generally speaking, the way you look, and represent yourself can make some difference to how responsive she is to you.

Freelancers Vs Bar Girls

One of the best things about paying for a freelancer is that you skip the barfine fees and lady drink costs at the beer bars in Pattaya. And with the increase of prices in Pattaya, this can add up real quick. But, there are also some drawbacks to this as well. When you get a girl from the girly bars in Pattaya, you know where she works, and who she is. There is a little more assurance and less risk involved with bar girls.

About Safety With Freelancers

You must be extra careful when you bring a freelancer back with you in your room. Make sure that your valuables and money is locked up in the room safe, and also try and keep and eye on her. If she offers you a drink when you come back from the shower don’t take it, unless you are sure what is in the drink.
These are just security measures you should take, it doesn’t mean that anything bad will happen to you. But there are many bad stories of freelancers robbing customers of their money. Most hotels will ask for ID of your guest, and they will call your room prior to releasing her from the hotel. But in any case, it is good to know of the risks involved.

Another thing to consider is HIV. Bar girls have more regulations to follow and will get routinely tested. With freelancers you never know if they are clean. So make sure to be responsible on your side, and understand the risks involved.

As of this writing, there are quite a few Thai dating sites that you can use to meet Thai singles. In this guide I will give you guys a full review of the best sites and apps to use, especially as a foreigner.

I will also let you guys know how to use each site to its full potential, and also give you guys some more personal Thai dating tips after the listings.

The goal of this article is to give you a full breakdown of the best apps to use, and also give you and idea of the differences of each one and what you can expect in the process of using them.

Introduction To Dating Sites in Thailand

Online dating has become an amazing tool for those guys that want to meet Thai women while they are on holiday. All it takes is to set up a sign up, set up a profile, upload a few decent pictures, and you can get some great responses from the Thai members.

The browsing and searching features of the sites and apps makes it even more easy to narrow down your potential of matches. It doesn’t matter what city you are in, from Bangkok, to Chiang Mai, you ALWAYS have the chance to meet some local Thailand women no matter where you are.

Even if you are not in Thailand yet, you can still use these dating sites to start chatting with the women, and get an idea of how they respond to you. It is really great in this regard. Many guys use these online sites and apps in order to build some romantic connections even before they arrive in Thailand!

And the best thing of all is that you can meet many different types of Thai women on these dating sites (more on this later). There are members online who want a serious relationship, or others who just want casual dating and flings — even just friendships. The choices are really great.

Another great point is that Thai people are very open-minded, and are willing to give online dating a try, and also give foreigners a chance.

ThaiFriendly

ThaiFriendly is one of the most popular and effective dating sites to use in order to meet a wide variety of women in Thailand. The site has many members signing up daily, so you will always have the most access to the members.

For many guys, including myself, ThaiFriendly has been responsible for countless dates and relationships. I can’t even count how many amazing Thai women I have met from this site, and even had some serious relationships with.

The power of this dating site is that it has a good amount of younger Thai women who just want casual dating with foreigners. It also has many freelancers just looking to make some money on the side in exchange for “dating” you. Create your free account here.

Personally, I think this app is great, but some guys think it is less “serious” than some of the other dating sites. You do find some ladyboys here that pose as real women, and you do find some shady members — the ones that are not honest what they want from you.

So I can see why some guys might not have this site as their top choice. But for many guys they have seen amazing results using ThaiFriendly. There is a reason why it has been consistently rated as one of the top dating sites to use in Thailand. It really works.

Key takeaways from ThaiFriendly dating app

• legit, with many members online
• easy to use dating app
• absolutely free to sign up
• very effective for setting up dates
• many freelancers
• some scammers and ladyboys posing as real women
• can only send 1 chat per 10 minutes with free account

ThaiCupid

ThaiCupid is one of the most legit dating sites to meet Thai singles. Not only are there many members online, but the many of them actually want more serious relationships with foreigners.

The great thing about ThaiCupid is that it comes from the reputable CupidMedia group, which has been in this online dating industry for many years — so you know what you are getting, they constantly strive to make the site as legit as possible, with very few fake accounts or scammers.

The site also has some freelancers, but less than ThaiFriendly. And the average age of the the Thai women on ThaiCupid might be a slight bit higher. That is also why many guys think ThaiCupid is more reliable for serious relationships. It really gives them a taste of the Thai dating lifestyle and etiquette. Create your free account here.

From my own experience, I think it is a great all-around online dating tool to use in Thailand. You can browse a large amount of members, and you also have the chance to meet many of them who just want casual flings.

Key takeaways from ThaiCupid dating site:

• reputable and reliable
• lots of members
• many Thai women looking for relationships or casual dating
• free to try
• slightly less younger members than some other sites
• does have freelancers, but not a large majority

AsianDating

AsianDating is an excellent way to Thai Women, but also many meeting and dating Asian women all over the world.

It is very popular, since usually guys who like Thai women are also interested in other Asian women also. Many guys that travel around Southeast Asia use this dating site as “all in one” dating site throughout there travels in Asia. You can meet members from Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, and of course Thailand as well.

Since the members are located all over the world, you could even meet singles who are near your area back home. All it takes is to filter out the search results to narrow down your options of members to contact.

Key takeaways from AsianDating.com

• versatile dating site to meet Thai and Asian women
• easy way to meet Thai women in your area
• is not a dedicated Thai dating site
• has a built in translation tool

Badoo

Badoo is one of the free dating apps you can use anywhere in the world. The reason why I list it here is because it is very popular among Thai women and there is a good amount of them online at any given time.

It uses your location on your phone to connect you with others in your area. You can swipe on the members that interest you, and when they swipe back you can start chatting with them. It is fully free to sign up, and they even give you 50 swipes per day with that free account.

These types of apps can be very useful, and some guys swear by them. In any case, it should be given a shot, especially for the fact that there are many young Thai women on their smartphones all day on these types of dating apps, hoping to meet some foreigners on holiday.

Key Takeaways from Badoo mobile app:

• uses your GPS location to find potential matches around you
• very simple to use
• completely free to sign up (plus 50 swipes a day0
• Not the best option for serious relationships/marriage (though still possible)

MizzThai

MizzThai is not like the other dating sites mentioned above, it is more of a “niche” site which caters to men who are interested in paid dating services from Thai women.

It is one of the newer sites to come out on the Thai market. The market for this service is gentlemen who are on the move, or business travelers in Thailand who may not have the time and patience to try out the traditional dating sites. So it is more suitable for short term dating and companionship.

The great thing about dating apps like this is that both sides know exactly what they want from each other. So it can really save some time and money, since you aren’t spending so much time and effort trying to meet and find members or potential romantic interests.

The Thai women members here are specifically looking to be the companion of single male foreigners who wish to come to Thailand.

As long as you know what to expect here, it should be an interesting app to try out.

Key takeaways from MizzThai dating service:

• not a traditional dating site, but can be very useful for certain men
• can save you time and money
• the members know exactly what they want and expect from each other

DateInAsia

If you are looking for a 100% free dating site in Thailand, then look no further. DateInAsia is completely free, so there are some good and bad things about it. I will explain.

Because it is free, you might also encounter some shady characters (scammers), or profiles from members that don’t even respond. Of course this also includes ladyboys who pose as real women.

The site also is automatically moderated by bots, so some guys have reported getting their account closed or banned without any reason. The positive things about this site is that there are some legit members, and that it is completely free. So there is no harm in trying it — some guys love it, others don’t.

Use these Thai dating sites and see which ones are best for you.
