Soi Cowboy — Local services in Khlong Toei Nuea Subdistrict

Small street full with adult’s entertainment. So this is how it works,

After you walk in to any place, either you choose your own seat, or you will be escorted to the available seat, then you order a drink. A beer can cost between 100B (Dollhouse, for example) to 150B then, you can stay and watch them girls dance as long as you want, no rush, (unless if it’s closed at 2AM)

There is mama san, or PR that takes your order, standing around your seat to make sure your drink keeps going. You can also buy a lady drink for them as well. They will keep you company and help you choose the girl.

If you like the girl, you can buy her a drink and she will come sit on your lap. Lady drink costs around 200B it’s the girls choice what she wants to drink.

If you want to take the girl out, ask how much for a bar fine. A bar fine is the money that you pay to the bar, to rent the girl out of the premise. It could start from 1.000B (Tilac) or 1.500B (Cowboy2) or more, Friday and Saturday, or early of the night could be more.

You also need to find out how much you are going to pay for her service after leaving the bar, for example, just to hangout as drinking partner (start from 2.000B) or Full service in bed (from 3.000B)

If you are ok with all the deal, so pay the bar fine, pay your drink. And get yourself a good time with her, and pay her at the end of her service.

Be warned: Do not go into Cowboy 2 , they scammed us last night. We ordered 2 drinks for lady’s, 5 shots of tequila came, and we checked the bill , they charged us 4. They insisted that they wrote 2 as we ordered 2, bill said 4 drinks x 250 so it’s 1.000B. So No! No! No! To cowboy 2

Yes: TILAC, ok price for drink and girl, more than 50 girls a night, clean toilet.

Yes: The Oasis bar, happy hour all night, cheapest drink in the streets.

There is a live music bar with great food in the middle of the street, that has great space to play pool with 3 pool tables on the second floor.

I’m not sure if it’s cheaper in Pattaya. It is 1.500 -2.000B for bar fine and the girls go for 2.000B But well, this...

⚠️ WARNING FOR TOURISTS — VIOLENCE & SCAMS ON SOI COWBOY

My wife and I were physically assaulted, illegally detained, and extorted in Rio Club, located right on Soi Cowboy. On the night of July 27, 2025, after ordering 2 gin tonics and 3 shots, we were given a fake bill of 4,560 baht. When we refused to overpay without a proper receipt, we were attacked. • I was punched in the face and body, and my $700 shirt was ripped. • My wife was dragged by the hair and shoved by several women. • We were trapped inside for 30 minutes, denied access to the police, and threatened repeatedly. • We managed to escape only after severe physical violence.

We filed a police report, submitted medical records, and documented all injuries, faces, and video evidence. The case is now under investigation.

🟥 Rio Club has a 1.2 rating with over 60 reviews of violence, scams, and extortion. This is not an isolated case — it is a criminal pattern.

‼️ Tourists, beware: Soi Cowboy is promoted as entertainment, but in reality, some venues on this street are operating like organized crime rings, specifically targeting foreigners.

📸 We are posting photos and videos of the attackers to warn others. We urge Thai authorities to investigate, shut down these establishments, and...

I think it is necessary to make an important clarification, we informed ourselves before visiting this area and we discovered that the girls are all freelancers by choice. I want to make this preamble because I think it is important when choosing to visit such a "particular" place, increasing the tourist influx, to make sure we spend our money in ethical places and not encouraging crime. Having said that Sukhumivit , I would also recommend it to families in the early evening. you can walk along it in a couple of minutes, a shocking mess, as soon as I crossed the street, one of the pub girls slapped my butt with an advertising billboard, inviting me to drink in the place, an eccentric place. you will not only find red light clubs and very modern coffee shops, even though the street is short and narrow, nothing is missing, you will find pubs that broadcast matches and play music, street vendors who offer you everything from fruit to crocodile meat, gadgets ... a little Patong in the center of Bankog the street is constantly monitored by the police who, despite the climate of perdition, intervene in case the drunk in the situation exaggerates...
