Bars on Soi 6

Soi 6 is lined with well over 50 bars. This is currently under debate in the forum, so let's just agree there are a shit load. Each offering unique themes, drink options, and experiences. Many of these bars double as short-time venues.

What They Offer:

Drinks: A wide range of beers, cocktails, and local spirits.

Company: Ladies are available to chat, dance, and offer companionship.

Atmosphere: Some bars are loud and lively, while others have a more laid-back vibe.

Short-Time Rooms: Most bars have rooms available upstairs or nearby.


Pricing for the Ladies

1. Lady Drinks: Cost: 150-250 THB ($4-$7) per drink. Buying a lady drink allows you to chat and get to know the staff. Often you can feel them up, fuck around with them and dance.

2. Bar Fines: Cost: 500-2,500 THB ($9-$28), depending on the bar and time of day you want to take the girl out of the bar. This fee is paid to the bar to take a lady out.

Short-Time: Cost: 1,000-2,000 THB ($28-$56) directly to the lady plus approximately 500 baht paid to the bar for the short time room. Typically for 1-2 hours with the lady and one shot unless you negotiate more. Long-Time: Typically starts when you bar fine the girl until the next morning. Cost: 2,500-5,000 THB ($70-$140). Normally includes 1-2 shots before bed and one in the morning.


Strategies for the Best Value

1. Visit Early in the Day

Bars open between 2 PM and 4 PM. Early visits often mean better attention from ladies, but higher bar fines for LT. More selection for ST.

2. Build Rapport First:

Spend time chatting and buying a couple of drinks to establish a connection and make sure to ask if the girl is willing to bar fine with you or go to the ST room with you before investing in more than 1 or 2 lady drinks. This will also make negotiations smoother.

3. Negotiate Respectfully:

After some friendly conversation, politely ask about rates. Avoid haggling aggressively, as this may cause offense. Do your research and feel free to use the above rates as a guideline.

4. Limit Lady Drinks:

Be mindful of how many lady drinks you buy. It's easy to overspend. However, if you are the kind of person like me that enjoys drinking and partying with the girls whether or not you take any of them or not, then you will have a good time doing this well. YMMV.

5. Check Promotions:

Some bars offer happy hours or drink deals that can save you money.

6. Barfines

Bar fine after midnight for long time.


Safety Tips

1. Keep Valuables Secure:

For Long term encounters, use your hotel safe for passports, large sums of cash, and other valuables.

2. Know Your Limits:

Don't over drink and don't overthink, as this can make you an easy target for scams or theft, but overthinking can also cause you to have a terrible time while analyzing every little detail.

3. Be Polite but Firm:

If you're not interested in a lady or service or buying a lady drink, politely decline and move on. If you have a dispute over your bill, stay firm and stay calm. If you can't resolve the dispute, sometimes its better to pay and walk away. However, if the amount of the dispute is unreasonable, you may have no choice but to get the police involved. Always stay respectful and polite and initiate the help of a Thai person or a lawyer or agent that can assist. Don't end up like the guys on the news. There are a couple of services in Pattaya that offer 24 hour emergency lines that can help with this kind off stuff or even when you have a dispute with a girl that you have bar fined.

4. Check Room Hygiene:

If you use a short-time room, inspect the cleanliness first.

5. Condoms:

This is a preference for the girl and the customer. Whatever both parties agree. However, do not trick girls or remove the condom without their consent. I know some guys on the board talk about spontaneity and so on, but it's just not cool. Some Thai girls don't have the personality to fight and worry about not getting paid if they don't allow the punter to continue without a condom. Don't be idiots guys. These girls are human beings as well. If you want a specific service such as BBFS CIP or BBBJ CIM sometimes a "no" will turn into a "yes" if you offer more money. Other times, just being an all around nice and respectful guy will get you what you want. Unless you are EL Mexicant and then you can just use your special Punjabi prince powers lol

6. Exercise common sense.

If a lady looks too young, walk away. Even an 18 year old is too young to work in the bar. You may think the bar is responsible and not you, but you bought the drinks for her so that may cause you some issues. Ladies often use fake IDs to get a job in Soi 6. She may even of told you they were 18. I have had that happen to me and I just walked away. They are too young to work in any bar. These girls often use fake ID, if that is uncovered and the lady turns out to be 17 or less, it could mean big trouble for you as well as the bar.


Tips for Talking to the Ladies

1. Be Friendly and Relaxed:

Smile, maintain eye contact, and be respectful.

2. Ask Simple Questions:

How long have you worked here?" or "Where are you from?" are good icebreakers. Don't go into thousands of details with conditions as Thai culture does not appreciate talking too much.

3. Show Interest Without Pressure:

Compliments go a long way but avoid making them feel obligated.

4. When to Bring Up Leaving:

After you've chatted for a while and bought a drink or two, subtly ask, "Are you ready to go out?" This must have been lightly touched on during your first or second drink. Now should just be easy and simple.

Reasonable Budget Suggestions for the ladies

Daily Budget:

Drinks: 1,000-2,000 THB ($28$56).

Bar Fines + Lady: 1,500- 3,000 THB ($42-$85).

Soi 6 can offer a memorable experience if you approach it with a friendly attitude, set clear boundaries, and enjoy responsibly as there are tons of ladies and different style of bars.


The Night Wish Group and the Ladies of Soi 6.

Soi 6 is heavily influenced by the Night Wish Group, which operates a significant number of bars on the street. This group has streamlined the operations of Soi 6, offering a consistent experience in terms of pricing, service, and atmosphere across their venues. However, be aware that their business model is selling lady drinks so know that when going in and follow the advice above.

The Sheer Variety of Ladies.

Soi 6 is known for its abundance of working ladies. On any given day, there are hundreds of women available, catering to a wide variety of tastes:

Shapes and Sizes: From slim and petite to curvy and voluptuous.

Ages: Most ladies are in their 20's or 30's, though some older women are also available.

Appearance: The range goes from strikingly beautiful to less attractive, white skin, dark skin, tanned, ensuring there's someone for nearly every preference.

This variety makes Soi 6 an accessible and exciting destination, regardless of personal taste.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Soi 6 vs. Pattaya Gentlemen's Clubs.


Advantages of Soi 6

1. Lively Atmosphere:

Soi 6 is vibrant, with music, energy, and plenty of action happening simultaneously.

2. Variety and Accessibility:

With over 50 bars and countless ladies, the selection is unmatched.

3. Cost:

Pricing is typically reasonable if you know what you are doing. Only go short time with the ladies or only bar fine long time after midnight.

4. Casual Vibes:

No need to dress up or adhere to formalities; it's a laid-back environment.

5. Quick Turnaround:

Short-time arrangements are straightforward, with rooms readily available above or near most bars.


Disadvantages of Soi 6

1. Less Privacy:

The open, bustling environment can feel less discreet compared to gentlemen's clubs. Many you tubers are filming everything.

2. Inconsistent Quality:

The experience can vary greatly depending on the bar and the lady chosen.

3. Pushy Staff:

Some bar staff may pressure you to buy lady drinks or commit to spending.

4. Limited Comfort:

Short-time rooms can sometimes be basic or poorly maintained.


Advantages of Pattaya Gentlemen's Clubs

1. Exclusive Atmosphere:

Gent's clubs offer a more relaxed, intimate, and private setting.

2. Ladies:

Clubs typically feature more relaxed and uninhibited ladies who often will service you out in the open of the bar.

3. Comfort and Service:

Comfortable seating, air conditioning, and attentive staff enhance the experience, and the prices are extremely reasonable in most cases.

4. They often open as early as 12 noon or 1PM.


Disadvantages of Gentlemen's Clubs

1. Quality of talent can be lacking sometimes.

2. Limited Selection as, Gents Clubs tend to have fewer ladies than the sprawling variety on Soi 6.


Choosing Soi 6 or a Gentlemen's Club

If you're looking for variety and a lively experience, Soi 6 is unbeatable.

If you prefer a private and more relaxed setting with ladies who are not scared to get down and dirty with less pressure to buy drinks, a gentlemen's club might suit you better.

Here are some of my favorite bars on Soi 6 in no specific order of preference:

1. Mod Bar.

2. Passion.

3. Helicopter.

4. Horny Bar.

5. Exotica.

6. Avarice.

7. Omega.

8. Fire.

9. Toy Box.



ONE LAST POINT. DO NOT BUY 40 DRINKS UNLESS YOU ARE KOREAN OR YOU HAVE MONEY TO BURN JUST LIKE ME LOL

[Paolo99]

Billabong is an open air bar right at the bend in LK Metro. You have probably walked past it many times.

Lots of freelancers work there.

I see, it's probably the place in front of Black Minou bar.

Yes it's often packed, but I never stopped by that place. Don't really like the bars around Buakhao to be honest.

[EverythingThai]

I can't say it is right, as I am still looking for info for my trip next October and haven't been there.

Wow, next October being 2026? This October being October 2025 would be a more realistic time frame for you to be doing research. PATTAYA will change significantly by October 2026 Mr. E is correct. Before coming to Pattaya, one should do some basic research on pricing and get an idea of what places they would like to visit and maybe what hotel they would like to stay in. Other than that, just come find girls, have your fun and go back home. By reading the forum, you will find all of this information out. The search function can be very useful. Good luck.

[EverythingThai]

I think we can all agree that Soi 6 and Soi Bukao have tons of bars. For Soi 6, 30 is not the number. It is a least double. About Soi Bukao, I would have to say there are close to 1000, especially if you include the side streets such as Soi Made, Myth, LK, tree town and so on.

[SubCmdr]

This is a very accurate assessment. I wouldn't compare Heaven above with Fate. Totally different. Older girls in Fate who love playing pool to get themselves and guys naked whilst downing shots. Lots of action in the open, BBBJs most nights on view on couches etc. Heaven Above far more as you say semi-agogo type bar downstairs, no pool table, most girls topless and upstairs the speakeasy is very small, intimate, expensive drinks and girls more hands on. Both are good options (and of course very close to one another) but very different.

This is a very accurate comparison of: Club Fate and Heaven Above. Completely aligns with my experiences visiting both places. I have an excellent time in either venue.

Of course my experiences do not invalidate anyone else's experiences. For me Soi 6 is a highly over rated, chaotic, hit and miss experience. Maybe it was better 20 - 30 years ago. ROTFLMAO!. Even if is was, I cannot miss what I didn't experience.

[BennieBen]

I can't see 78 doors in that kind of sois. 78 bars would mean 78 doors and at least 78 units.

1000 bars in buakhow? I have not done the math, but I bet the whole stretch of road is appr 2 km, being generous. That means a bar every 5 meters.

Whoever has been there knows there is plenty of other businesses in that road.

But in thailand: an umbrella, a table 3-4 chair and a cute waitress = a bar. Same thing wtih a cute waitress and some girls hanging around a wasted pool table = a beer bar. Add a pole and ask the the girst to stand still near it without mooving and you have a gogo.

[Mr Enternational]

I can't say it is right, as I am still looking for info for my trip next October and haven't been there.

What info are you looking for 9 months away? You come, get a room, and go out to look for chicks you want to fuck. No info needed.

[PayForIt]

Here's my take on Heaven Above during my visit last week. Downstairs had close to 30 girls. Had the agogo vibe with loud music, uniformed bikinis & dance rotation every 15 minutes. Quality wasn't great. I spotted maybe two 8's. Took 1 of them to the small VIP area upstairs. Music wasn't as loud so you can actually talk. She also took off her top once upstairs so I can play with her natural BS. There were a dozen ladies upstairs. All seem older and weren't in the prescribed bikinis. Only 1 other gentleman upstairs. The VIP room had more of a gents club vibe. I guess that's what they meant by agogo and gents club hybrid. Definitely can get a bit more fun in the VIP room but not the same naughtiness as Club Fate.

This is a very accurate assessment. I wouldn't compare Heaven above with Fate. Totally different. Older girls in Fate who love playing pool to get themselves and guys naked whilst downing shots. Lots of action in the open, BBBJs most nights on view on couches etc. Heaven Above far more as you say semi-agogo type bar downstairs, no pool table, most girls topless and upstairs the speakeasy is very small, intimate, expensive drinks and girls more hands on. Both are good options (and of course very close to one another) but very different.

I occasionally enjoy beer across thai rose. Its 100% LB bar. I saw parades of koreans / asian custumers going in and out.

Thai Rose is full of LB, but I agree that Omega or Avarice doesn't have any.

[Explorer8939]

Billabong?

I don't know this place.

Billabong is an open air bar right at the bend in LK Metro. You have probably walked past it many times.

Lots of freelancers work there.

You've heard of YMMV (your opinion may be different than others, basically)? I would not discount anyone's opinion or advice here, but I just returned home from a week in Pattaya. I went into Heaven Above, and ended up going every night I was there. For me, (65, decent shape), I found the girls to be young to middle-aged (22-36), friendly, and very service-oriented. First night I went at 10 pm and every girl was topless, probably 30 girls. I drank, talked, bought them lady drinks, took a couple upstairs, and then bar fined two. Same next night and again, 2 or 3 every night back to my hotel. If you are on a budget, maybe not for you. I was not, and only there for a week, so I was free with buying lady drinks and never wanted for company. I found the variety of girls quite satisfying. They'll rub your dick thru your pants and French kiss you openly, and anything you want upstairs. I never saw a BJ in the open downstairs. I hope this helps and offers an alternative opinion of Heaven Above. Not my first trip to Pattaya, I've been to Soi 6, gentlemen's clubs, and massage places. For me, Heaven Above was truly Heaven.

This mirrors my experiences in Heaven Above. Glad you enjoyed the place MikeNm!

Ballin like a Gent's Club Pro!

[HSendatsu]

Interesting map, never seen it before.

Good to estimate the number of bars, but still quite inaccurate. NONE of the bars on the left side of the map have ladyboys as stated (Thai rose, Omega, Love missile, O bar etc.).

Also it's missing some bars (Gold bar for example).

I can't say it is right, as I am still looking for info for my trip next October and haven't been there.

[EverythingThai]

Thanks everyone for your reviews. Seems it all boils down to perception and YMMV.

[Paolo99]

Heaven Above

Where are your reviews of the places where YOU think the girls are attractive? Please give prices for bar fines and social sexual services. I personally would appreciate it.

Almost exclusively Soi 6, prices, services are dependent on the girl. Not that they are the most attractive, but that's where I found the best mix between young age, attractiveness and price. Service is another story, but lately I had a better luck than in November 2022 for example.

I could occasionally take from gogos on Walking Street like Iron, but it's too expensive for my taste.

I don't post reviews about these anymore because it would be too repetitive, but you can find at least 5 from me with the search function "soi6" around December 2022 like this one post "36480": http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...highlight=soi6#post2770475.

Last trip I made the mistake of taking back a freelance girl working in one of the bars around Buakhao and I did regret it. I occasionally go have a look at gent clubs discussed here, but never saw anything interesting there.
