The Tourist Guide to Thailand’s Naughty Nightlife
What is a bar girl?
Bar girls are women or girls who work in bars. We’re not talking about your typical bartender or table staff.
Bar girls dress provocatively and expose a small amount of skin. She’s employed to flirt and ensure that customers enjoy the bar and stay to buy drinks and come back. A bar girl works like a hostess but is more tactile.
In some bars, women will try to find a way to make a connection with their customers. It is definitely the case at hotspots such as Pattaya’s Walking Street or Soi Cowboy, both in Bangkok.
It is the goal to take them back to their hotel room or home. The fee for the sexual service is usually not discussed explicitly in the bar. It will range between 1,000 to 3,000 Baht depending on where the woman is located and how the client and woman are arranged.
It is prostitution. However, the bar or service provider does not use these words.
In this article, I use the terms lady, woman, and girl interchangeably. Legally, all girls who work in bars in Thailand are women. However, the term “bar girl “. is used to refer to them.
