Phuket go go bars & gogo girls
Although Phuket’s go go bars are not as numerous as those in Pattaya or Bangkok, there are still plenty of choices for some seedy fun on the island. Phuket’s go-go bars add to the carnival atmosphere of Patong at night and many of the bars on the small lanes (sois) off Bangla lane feature girls dancing on a tiny stage or sometimes the bar itself. However, most of the real go-go bars in Phuket are concentrated on Soi Seadragon, off of Soi Bangla in the Patong area. These bars have larger stages, more elaborate shows and are sometimes themed. Although nudity on stage is not legal anymore, many establishments push this regulation to the limit, even ignoring it outright on occasion.
Phuket go go entertainment
Phuket go go bars are similar to the go go bars in the rest of Thailand; a long stage featuring girls in varying degrees of undress dancing with varying degrees of enthusiasm for the enjoyment of tourists of varying degrees of intoxication. The outfits worn by Phuket’s go go girls are little more (and sometimes less) than bikinis and the entertainers attract plenty of patrons to fill the seats around the stage.
Customers are usually more interested in the lovely figures on display than any actual showmanship and the dancing being performed often amounts to nothing more than swaying from side to side and walking back and forth. Some of the go go bars in Phuket offer a bit more of a show, with choreographed dances and live singers (all still scantily clad, of course). Themed places also exist, such as Playschool A-go-go on Soi Seadragon, whose dancers wear the ever popular catholic schoolgirl outfit.
Drinks tend to be a little pricier in Phuket go go bars than in normal bars and staff members will periodically come around to make sure that the customers are drinking their fill. Those who savour their beers too long will be politely asked to order more or leave the establishment.

Inside Phuket go go bars
Thumping music, flashing lights and lovely young ladies parading their natural assets characterise Phuket go go bars. The focus is the stage, which usually dominates the centre of the establishment. There are seats around the bar for those who want to see the action up close, as well as small tables set a short distance back from the stage. The music runs continuously and the roster of entertainers rotates throughout the night. Most of the dancers at Phuket go go bars have a set schedule of time to be onstage but are more than happy to sit down between sets and keep the customers company. Find out how it works with Phuket prostitutes.
In some of Phuket’s go go bars the ladies wear number tags. If one girl catches a customer’s eye, a quiet word with a staff member will have her sitting next to him during her next break. Usually the girl will request a ‘lady drink’. These beverages come at a grossly inflated price, from which the girl receives a commission. Lady drinks are one of the main sources of income for Phuket go go girls. Should you wish to take one of the girls out of the bar before her shift is done you will have to pay a 300 to 500 baht ‘bar fine’ to ‘ostensibly’ compensate for her absence from the stage. The girl in question will likely have her own fees for other forms of entertainment, once you leave. This can range from 1000 baht to 3000 baht or more, depending how beautiful she thinks she is, how gullible she thinks you are and how long you want her to stay with you.

Although the publishers of 1stopphuket.com have a policy of ‘telling it like it is’, regarding all of Thailand’s popular attractions, we do not condone or encourage sex tourism and certainly take a strong objection to sex with minors. The judgement is yours entirely, but prostitution remains illegal in Thailand and we urge you to treat the activity with caution and respect for those involved. Some girls willingly enter into the sex trade for economic reasons, but others who have not but may be short on money should not be encouraged to participate.
