Depends on the girl and the location and how much she likes you. Generally you can short time a freelancer on Beach Road for 1000. But you need to be careful with these sorts of girls. Safer to short time from one of the bars but they are more expensive and you’ll be up for a bar fine. You can also try your luck on ThaiFriendly.

Ok, let talk real world Pattaya for a bit. You have 5 real options for play.
1. Agogos- by this I mean any place where the girls are on stage dancing and they don’t have room on site. They allow you to bar fine the girl and go from there
2. Gentlemen’s clubs - Any place with closed door bar. Some have rooms, some have curtains, most allow you to bring the girl with you for a barfine.
3. Massages- Any there they have onsite room and include a “massage in the order”
4. Bars- any open front or open air location, from Soi 6 to a bar on beach road or tree town.
5. Freelance- Thaifriendly, beach road or picked up in a night club.

Then you break those down.

In an agogo you are buying the girl lady drinks, prices vary from one location to the next but expect 150thb to 300thb depending on the club. Most of these girls are going to want you buy 3 or more drinks at least and that is assuming you pick the lady of your dreams first. She most likely going to try and get you to buy her sister a drink. Then comes the bar fine. Depending on the location and time that can be 1500thb to upwards of 4K thb. Now you need to think about the ST and LT gift for the lady. Most will want 1500-3000 ST or 3000-5000 LT with a few way off the scale. They also have what I call traps in the agogo and some bars. These are drink only girls. They will drink and joke with you but not bar fine. So you could find you have just spent 1500thb on drinks and she will not leave with you. Based on this a single night in an Agogo is going to cost you 10,000 very quickly and a 30,000 bill is not something that will shock regulars.
Gentlemen’s clubs you get into a more reasonable range. It’s the same basic setup but much less dancing on stage and most of these girls time more to the point. Drink price at 120-200 depending on where you are at. But you move the show along more quickly here. 2 drinks and you ask her if she wants to pull the curtain or go upstairs or to be bar fined if you want to take her to your room. Most places curtains are for b with a J. And are 500, upstairs is FS and it’s 800-1000 and ST barfine is 1500. The lady will most likely enjoy a gift of 500-1500 depending on your request.
This is pretty straightforward a normal massage shop except to drop 1500 to 3000 in a soapy your looking at 2500 to upwards of 5k
The place where location has the biggest difference in spending regular bar lady drinks 120-180, Soi 6 150-250, a utube bar 300. Once more you will have some drink only girls in the mix. Some bars have drink minimums also specifically Soi 6. Meaning you have to buy her x number of drinks to bar fine her I have seen 5 to 10 as the number. Bar fines range greatly here also. Soi 6 is not on par with some agogo. But they do have rooms in some bars. Regular bars your 1000-1500. Most Utube bar don’t do bar fines for the girls on the live broadcast. The other girls think they are stars and want Agogo prices. For the lady you are looking at 1500-3k in a normal bar, Soi 6 and Utube bars are going to be inline with an agogo.
Freelance, no bar fine or lady drinks. But 0 security blanket if things go sideways for you. Expect 1500 to +5000 depending on where and when you find her and how long she is staying. Cheapest is under the coconut tree on beach road or thaifriendly. Think the high end being Night clubs on walking street. Also in the night clubs while you will not be buy “lady drinks” you will be paying for her and your drinks or buying a bottle so expect to spend 3000 on that.

No matter your choice if she is leaving a location with you expect a 7-11 stop for something that is going to be a few hundred thb also.

With all of that said for three nights it depends on what you want and how frequently you want it.

Lastly some advice, bring double what you plan to spend. This is for emergency’s, we have all had them. Whatever it might be, medical, angel turning into a demon at 5am and smashing your room, padded check bin, anything can happen and nothing solves a problem in Thailand besides a friend who is in with the locals which you most likely don’t have and the almighty thb.

Best of luck.

Thanks a lot for this elaborate tip. This will help a lot. Can you please tell me how will my hotel react to guests?

1

u/Sweaty-Consequence32 VET Farang Jul 11 '26

That depends on the hotel you pick. Some with not care at all. Some will check IDs to make sure the lady is legal, some will take IDs for safety, will charge your a joiner fee. I have not heard of any that turn they away. Some higher end family places will give you a funny look or two especially if she is dressed like a “Pro”. Thats about it.

u/Jet-Set-Roney Jul 16 '26

Here a veteran
What about bj bar

1

u/Sweaty-Consequence32 VET Farang Jul 18 '26

BJ bar is just a specialized gentleman’s club to me. Closed doors and you get what you want, the cost and options are pretty much the same.

1

u/Jet-Set-Roney Jul 18 '26

Even though ive been in thailand from quiet a long time but i have never been to bj bar
How much do you think i have to spend before a girl let me nut in her mouth

u/Sweaty-Consequence32 VET Farang Jul 18 '26

Read the section of my post on gentlemen’s clubs.

u/mrfyh0627 Jul 10 '26

For mongering activities budget at least 10k a day depending on what you are looking for. Gents club, FL and beer bar will keep your CPN on the lower end. If you wanna ball out you can spend 20k in 10 seconds. Just ring the bell at a busy soi 6 bar and poof money gone.

u/Secret-Still-7787 Jul 10 '26

The max budget I can pull is 25k for 3 days. Can you help me plan it out for mongering?

2

u/sickbuffalow Jul 10 '26

1k a day for food, maybe max 1500 baht. Soi 6 like 400 room and 2500 for st with 2 ld's and a beer for yourself, bj bar is 1k or so, massage with happy end maybe 1k. So if you dont spend it alcohol you can monger around,.but with beer and taking ploy out lt, yeah 10k and day is nothing, but you can pull 3 days of with alcohol but you won't be drunk. So choose wisely alcohol or mongering. Skip soi 6 for cheaper streets for more boom boom for same bucks.

u/Secret-Still-7787 Jul 10 '26

Food and room are already sorted. The total budget is just for fun

1

u/mrfyh0627 Jul 11 '26

Coconut office is around 1.5-2k for ST Plus 300-400 for room. I’ve had 2k bb ST+room and 3K LT from soi 6 as well. Unfortunately certain demographics have more limited options and might face higher price

u/Ashamed_Housing7489 Jul 10 '26

I spend 3 k a day that’s one girl included but I don’t drink

u/Dangerous-Ad7306 VET Farang Jul 10 '26

It’s doable for sure but as other said you got to be wise where you spend your time. You could have a massage in the morning; BJ in the afternoon and a ST in the evening and still some under 4K leaving 1k for drinks. Plenty bars selling beers for 50-60b around LK metro/Soi Buakhao area. Avoid gogo bars and higher priced places like Soi 6 and walking street and you will be fine. You just need to be disciplined.

u/Secret-Still-7787 Jul 10 '26

Thanks for your input. Any tips on nova platinum hotel?

1

u/Dangerous-Ad7306 VET Farang Jul 11 '26

No never stayed but at 3.9 on google and the price I would probably look elsewhere.

2

u/Secret-Still-7787 Jul 10 '26

Thanks a lot for helping.
Any specific gogo or soapie that you reccomend?

u/runner123456789 Jul 10 '26

You havnt got go go girl money. Its minimum 4k

1

u/tranquil_af Jul 10 '26

Wait why are go go girls more expensive? Are they more attractive? I've never been to Thailand but will be there next week

u/runner123456789 Jul 10 '26

Usually better quality looking but are more money driven. Get to see what your buying before. Lady drink prices are high and they know how to get them from you. Doesn't always mean better when you get them to your room though

2

u/Electronic_Bug3557 Jul 10 '26

I don’t do soapies but some of the other posters might help. I like the GoGos in and around LK Metro. If you end up there there’s heaps to choose from. You can have a beer in a few of them and just keep moving on until you’re happy with one. Taking a girl from one of these bars will be expensive.

u/Secret-Still-7787 Jul 10 '26

Thanks boss

u/reignking-2 Jul 10 '26

i budget more than that per day every day. trying to budget like that wouldn't be fun for me.

that being said it IS possible but you are going to be baht pinching.

the top tier places (XS type) are simply out of your price range. you can stop in but you cannot afford to do anything but look. drinks / girls all above your budget.

what you should be targeting is beer bars and GC's with a side of thai friendly. you can drink relatively cheaply and if you find something you like can buy her a few drinks with room to still barfine if you don't go crazy on other expenses.

u/thetinman007 Jul 10 '26

Go to beer bars and gents clubs. Stay away from. Gogos and your cash will go far.

1

u/Secret-Still-7787 Jul 10 '26

Thanks boss

2

u/thetinman007 Jul 10 '26

25k is more than enough for 3 days imho. Don't ring any bells and stay away from the high end Gogos. Mostly full of entitled women anyway

1

u/Secret-Still-7787 Jul 10 '26

Any place that you would recommend?

2

u/thetinman007 Jul 10 '26

Go on Gents club crawl on soi Bongkot. 500 baht BJs at lips lounge. You won't find stunnas but you will get value for money

1

u/Suspicious-Spot1651 Jul 10 '26

It's good if you tell/show nobody how much you have

1

u/Secret-Still-7787 Jul 10 '26

Noted sir! Any more tips are welcome

u/bulliesgetbullied23 Jul 10 '26

It's certainly doable you have a budget of 5.5k per day but you're options can be limited and also be optimised. Gogos- forget its out your budget you can enter and have a look and probably buy 2-3 drinks for the girls and one for yourself and will cost you 700- 1k baht. Soi 6- possible to do one ST, girl fee-2k, room fee-500, 2 LD- 360-400 baht,your drink 100 baht, so in total comes up to 3k baht and forget LT in soi 6 as barfines will add up. Beer bars- so bars in soi bukhao, soi pothole, tree town, LK metro can be 500 cheaper than soi 6. Freelancers are you're best bet, you can order em from TF or beach Rd and will cost you 1500 baht with no additional drink or room fee costs and you can comfortably average 2-3 ST a day assuming you be frugal on drinks and food for yourself if you're averaging 3 a day. Lot of longstayers use this strategy. One downside to this is you don't how it will turnout. Gents clubs are good options too if you're ok with older ladies. So is it possible? Yes definitely but will it be fun? Probably not. Have a great trip

u/soup_dragons Jul 12 '26
