Top 3 Best Go Go Bars in Soi Cowboy
If you've never been before or havn't been in a while then knowing which gogo bars to head to in Soi Cowboy can be like trying to guess someone's weight over the phone. Fortunately this past month I've been to the Soi dozens of times and know exactly where to head to. I was going to write this article about Nana Plaza but to be brutally honest, Nana Plaza is a complete dive, many bars are closed, and no one wants to walk around upstairs because of the Ladyboy infestation. If you're heading to the Bangkok go-go scene these three Go Go bars you MUST see.
#1 Suzie Wong AGoGo
Rated number 1 on this list because the low center bar rimmed with seats full almost every night this go-go bar has shows that will make you drool. The girls in this place? Meh, a few hotties but with some mates in town this is always a great first stop.
#2 Tilac Bar
This place has always been a favorite of mine, I know when i'm in town if I go here, I KNOW i'll find a girl. The bar has been around for a long time and in fact a lot of the girls from the go-go bars and beer bars in Chiang Mai have or still occasionally work here. Prices are reasonable and the drinks are stiff. Rated my #1 bar to barfine a girl. This bar does have coyote girls which are so named, most of those girls work Friday and Saturdays which are days I don't encourage anyone to go to a go go bar anyway.
#3 Crazy House
What 2am and the bars are all closed on Soi Cowboy? go down the end of the soi make a right and there will be some nondiscreet shophouses turned go-go bars. One of these is Crazy House. At 2am hammered and you don't want to head home head to Crazy House for a Crazy Time. Enter and you'll find out.

Hey Chris i have bene living in Bangkok for the past 6 Month now and have been going to Soi Cowboy at least 2 or 3 times a week
I totally disagree about Suzie Wong ive been there with 1 friend just 1 time and it was the worst place ive been on The Street Even Cockatoo (Ladyboy) have prettier lady lol
So after having ben there at least 50 Times on Soi Cowboy .. i can tell that Sure Baccara on the second floor with the Girls dressed in Schoolgirl Uniform is cool .. many will say its the Number 1 Bar on that street but never forget its always about the Attitude of the Girls working there in those Numerous bar that wil make it for me a good place or a bad place ..
Ive enjoyed Cowboy 2 for awhile until 1 night i wanted to take 1 out and they wanted to charge me 3000 baht just for BarFine lol .. i never went back there after but The girls are very pretty there
Lately ive been hanging out at The Dollhouse .. Happy Hour which start at 7pm until 9:30pm i go there to get drunk and the music that they play is from the 80 ‘s ..
After getting drunk i will go to my NO 1 bar on Soi Cowboy The Lighthouse many Cutie there many have great attitude was even able to get 2 of them at my Place for Free they have a great mix of girls there .. So for me its my Place
Ive been to Tilac 3 time and sure its well decorated and some pretty girl but i really prefer a Centered Stage
Ive been to other bar on Cowboy too like Deja Vu which drinks are overpriced like also The Kiss bar .. anyway thats my 2 cents on the Subject
We should go Hangout there 1 night Chris 🙂
Guess it’s a matter of opinion. In regards to Suzie Wongs, the girls aren’t hot but that’s not why you go in there, you go into Suzies to watch girls eating each other out on stage, it’s a show bar and it’s rated on my list because if you had a mate in town from overseas where would you take him first? Wet his nose at Suzies then move on. Upstairs Baccarra is full of smoke, one thing I like about Baccara is you can buy shots of Gold Label for 250, which is the same price as any decent bar in Bangkok (without girls) it’s the best value for money on the whole street but it’s crowded and most girls prefer you to be Asian which I ain’t. Yeah maybe meet up there, i’m taking a few weeks off right now i’ll hit you up later next month.
Quite interesting dear Chris n help you to get the right bar with right hole
Hi Chris, I didn’t know you were now living on Thonglo- I used to live between Thonglo and Ekamai. (Now, I live out in the quiet, green suburbs in a big new apartment (cheaper than downtown) and overlooking trees and golf courses.) It’s only a 35 Baht van ride to Victory Monument! Anywho, after living in Bangkok for years, it becomes obvious that Cowboy, Nana and Lower Sukhumvit and all “Sucker-Streets.” Just by virtue of you being there makes you a sucker and vulnerable to inflated prices, unfriendly stares, con-artists and the entire range of attitudes. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy seeing the sights, ( Baccarras, Long Gun, Tirac, Suzie Wongs, …) but I usually spend half my time hanging-out outside and socializing and enjoy the eye-candy walking by. My visits to Nana are quite brief due to your aforementioned Ladyboy infestation. Next time you go to Cowboy, lemme know and I’ll meet you there!
Many of the bars in Soi Cowboy have now become rediculous. The bar fines are thousands of Baht. We can only hope that there are not many Quie Falang, or “not not allowed in here” Japanese who are going to sustain this nonsense by paying these prices. I had stopped going to Soi Cowboy a few years back because of the , I,m only here to dance, after buying drinks scam ( and I,m talking about the girls dancing!) but could not believe the stupid prices now being quoted. Here is hoping that these bars fail. Other disaponting things noticed recently are the very poor state of Nana, not many girls and some places closed, and the ” I,m only here to drink” scam, that is recently evident in some of the AgoGo of LK Metro in Pattaya.
I agree John, the prices for the “action” is waaay over what I am comfortable with for an evening’s entertainment. Lately, on my ‘once-in-3- or- 4-months’ visits, I find it enjoyable to stroll around outside and chit-chat with whatever working-girls are
outside and try to find one with a friendly attitude- (FOR FREE!)
Crazy house is just a rip off bar for drunks girls will come and ask for drinks and as soon as drinks arrive will make an excuse to fuck off some where not the first time but defiantly the last shit place with mamasan who don’t give a fuck
Pretty much all go go bars can be like that, I never bought a girl a drink in there, not really the kinda place you need to invest in drinks you know what i’m saying.
If you are into nude, almost all sexy girls this is your place, they dance nude and go out on the floor the same way. most are friendly with anything from a lot of fun to over the top crazy fun. drinks for the ladies are 160 baht, one should be enough for her amusement between dances. One warning! many will rip you off for a tequila drink 330 bahts dont pay for tequila drinks, they are willing enough to be your host for the 160 baht drink.their biggest source of income is for you to take them out of the bar. a bar fine of 700 baht plus whatever you negotiate, about 2000 baht more or less. few if any rules about touching or feeling the merchandise. there is no one outside the bar to entice you into the bar its always full because its in a class all its own. great place but a tad expensive
Thanks for the info! Is Crazy House open during the day, or only in the evening?
Opens about 7-8pm
Crazy House is an excellent bar – lots of hot girls and all nude all night – even when circulating. They used to pad the bill out big time because too many of us had such a good night we paid and didn’t check it. It got a bit silly though and it died for a while as a result. I was ripped off twice and stayed away for almost 12 months. It’s too good to not go back though & now you sign for every round of drinks you order. Still wise to be vigilant.
I know it’s been over 3 years since this article was written but in my opinion as of 2018, the Patpong redlight night life area in Bangkok still has some of the best GoGo’s like Bada Bing, Kings Corner 1, and Black Pagoda. Also legendary BJ bars like Star of Light (get a BJ at the bar while drinking a beer) and also Kangaroo Bar (you can still have sex inside bar behind curtain or under bar tables). Also the S&M Fetish Club, Bar Bar is located there on Soi Patpong 2. A little hot wax on your nipples and a spanking on your bare bottom by a super hot Thai mistress is good for everyone sometimes 😉 Last time I was inside BarBar they had a chubby middle aged Japanese guy tied up in a cage in front of everyone and 3 hot Thai girls were whipping him and taking turns peeing on his face. He was loving every minute of it Haha….
But too bad all the scammer ping pong show guys and scammer tuk tuk drivers ruin the whole Patpong area. It’s also a total tourist trap with the night market right in the middle of it. But if you can ignore all the scammer guys harrassing you, there is a lot of fun to be had in Patpong.
Patpong is part of the CBD (Central Bangkok District). Also Soi Thaniya is a two streets down if you feel like eating some great (but expensive) Japanese food, Kobi beef, sushi, etc.
