Types of bars and nightlife venues in Pattaya include what you might call “normal” bars, such as traditional theme pubs and sports bars like The Sportsman on Soi 13 and the Queen Victoria pub and restaurant on Soi 6.
Most bars in Pattaya are girlie bars of one kind or another that you typically visit to meet bar girls in Pattaya, including beer bars, gogo bars—mainly on Walking Street and Soi LK Metro, gentleman’s clubs which are very popular in the Soi Buakhao area, and short-time bars for which Soi 6 is most famous.
There are many popular discos and nightclubs in Pattaya, too, most of which are also on Walking Street.
The question is, though ……

In Pattaya, there is a bar where you can do anything, almost. There are bars you can visit to hook up with girls for sex. Bars where you might find the most beautiful Thai girls, and agogo bars that have sexy shows. Bars where you can watch live sports on TV or listen to a live music band.

One of the biggest complaints is about bars where the girls are pushy about asking you to buy them lady drinks.
You can choose 2 options.
