After a stressful day in the city, you’re going to need a drink. Luckily for you, Bangkok is a damn good city to do just that. Drinking options are endless—too many of them are tourist-trap clichés (whisky sodas served in buckets, pricey mojitos in a rooftop bar). But one definitely won’t be disappointed as one explores the world of the premium bar-class bar scene that attracts Bangkok locals and curious outsiders alike. Below we have listed some good bars that are worth visiting in 2022.

• Sky bar
• Brown Sugar
• Teens of Thailand

Red light in Bangkok

Bangkok’s most famous red-light districts include Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza, Patpong and Soi Twilight – all side by side in the center of the city. The workers are typically women from rural areas of the country who have moved to the city to find work but with limited education and lack of other skills required in the increasingly globalized city, are taking what they can get .

These districts boast well-known and often high-class facilities that are not the product of illegal trade or forced labor – their high public visibility greatly reduces such a presence, along with the watchful eye of the state itself striving to avoid international backlash against such ethical abuses .

Prostitution can be found everywhere in Bangkok, accordingly also freelancers, escort offers and bars where you can also find short time rooms.

Go-go bars in Bangkok

GoGo bars are located in three main areas of the city: Soi Cowboy in Asok, Nana Plaza and Soi Patpong in Silom. You’ll find that the flashing neon signs and staff trying to lure you into each bar are consistent in each area. But there are differences in each of the above places. These go-go bars have become popular around the world for their casual, adult-only entertainment. Go-go bars usually follow a similar style, usually centered on occupying a seat facing the central stage. Sometimes there are up to 40 dancers up there while others sit and chat with the customers and have a drink.

GoGo bars are a fantastic place to start a night of partying before hitting the club. Triggering women and taking them with you is not really recommended, however, as they are expensive and it is no longer really worth it. You have a much better chance of finding good dates (or freelancers) on dating apps.

Meet women in Bangkok nightlife

You can also meet many women in Bangkok’s nightlife. From normal people looking for a relationship to prostitutes offering their services. You can also make wonderful appointments in Bangkok and have a nice evening together. If you are looking for someone to accompany you in Bangkok, or if you are looking for a date, you should use one of the dating apps. You have a very good chance of success with these.

The best Bangkok dating sites & apps

The best Bangkok dating app with the most members and therefore the largest selection is ThaiCupid. In our ThaiCupid review, the site was able to convince us across the board. But ThaiFriendly and ThaiKisses are also recommended. Since the differences among the women are very large, it is worth registering with all of them and getting an overview in advance. Registration is free for everyone.

A relatively new dating app, but one that’s completely free, is Flirteezy. What is special here is that many young women are registered who are looking for dates and relationships and not just offering their services. It is the perfect dating app to search for serious women for free. Find out more in our Flirteezy Thailand review.
