Sex and Prostitution in Phuket

Where to find prostitutes in Phuket? How to get laid in Phuket? Our Phuket sex tourism guide will tell you that!

Some people find the girly bars distasteful. For others it is all part of the colour and vibrancy of the nightlife scene, while for some it is the main reason for coming to Phuket. The sex tourism sector in Phuket is not near the scale of that found in Bangkok or Pattaya but it is still an attraction for a large number of visitors.

You do not need to be an active participant to go to the go-go bars. Couples, families and tour groups mingle with the sex tourists wandering around the bars. For many visitors to Thailand, a visit to a go-go bar or sex show is on their must do list. If you are not offended then it is a great place to drink and people-watch. Everyone is welcome in the bars. If you go as a couple or make it clear that you do not want the attention of the girls then they will leave you alone (eventually). However if you want to talk to the girls in the beer bars they will be happy to have a chat or play bar games such as connect-four or dice games. If you want to reward them for their time, then buy them a drink or give them a tip.

Phuket Female Escorts

You have a great variety of high class escorts to choose from in Phuket.

It is said to be easy for a person to hook up with a prostitute in Phuket. Most of the girls working in the sex industry of Phuket come from various provinces and towns. Since they do not belong to a well to do household, the girls enter this industry in order to earn more money. Though prostitution is tolerated in Thailand, it is still illegal in a sense. You can spot a hooker or any other type of sex worker quite easily, if you are in Phuket. However, beginners can still seek help from those who are experienced in this matter.

Red Light Districts

There are no official red-light areas in Phuket but you can find areas that have a lot of adult entertainment:

Map of Bangla Road in Patong

There are various places and destinations in Phuket where you may find working girls offering their services for money. At times, there are bar girls who would offer sex and other private services to their clients. Talking of red light districts, the Bangla Road is a famous red light district situated in Phuket. You can walk by it and take a drink at the bars situated nearby. One can identify the working girls in these areas quite easily. So, you can approach them accordingly and hire the service which you may find suitable for you.

Prostitutes and Sex Workers

There are thousands of prostitutes working in Phuket island. Many girls come to Phuket from the neighboring countries, such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Malaysia. Naturally most prostitutes are Thai girls though. Sex workers are everywhere where you can see tourism. There is a special craze for the bar girls in Phuket. They would accompany their customers and may have drinks with them. If you are planning to extend the fun till night, then you may rent a room for a night to be spent with the working girl. The girls working in the go go bars are basically found performing live shows and dance performances for their clients. Apart from that, you can also find freelancers, escorts and female masseurs providing erotic services for their customers.

Street Hookers

Bangla Road is the main bar street with go go bars, street walkers, "girly men" streetwalkers, and throngs of tourists checking out the whole scene. You can easily find a girl every evening. There are lots of freelancer prostitutes hanging around Bangla Road. Prices are between 500 - 1500 thb for full service. You may find street hookers hanging around several bars and pubs in Phuket. Chances are there that one might find working girls offering their services by the sidewalks of certain bars in and around this place.

Street Prostitution Warning!

Whenever you pick up Phuket street prostitutes, you should use the same caution which is recommended to use almost everywhere in the world! Make sure the thai girl or a ladyboy leaves her ID on the front desk and tell the front desk to call you before they give the ID back to her. Do not share the drinks with the whore.

  • If you use the washroom, then make sure you can see the girl all the time through the mirror.
  • Do not leave your valuables in the washroom since the local prostitute may steal your pricey things!

Escort agencies and services in Phuket are getting more popular all the time.

Phuket offers few escort agencies. Usually Agencies are much more expensive than the girls in go go bars. If you want to avoid the hassle of picking up bar girls you can always call an agency. Agencies also offer dinner dates for 2 hours or girlfriend experience for 12 hours.

Apart from the massage parlors offering erotic services, there are various escort service agencies located in Phuket as well. One can hire the services in order to enjoy either on a short term or a long term basis. If you face a problem in finding an agency directly, then consider going through the websites of various agencies that are present in Phuket. Depending on your selection of service, the escorts in Phuket will provide you with their offerings.

Erotic Massage Parlors

Unfortunately we don't list in this category!

Many massage parlours are just that - places to get a good massage. Most massage parlors will give just a massage if that is what the customer wants but some also offer extra services (a massage with a 'happy ending'). Open-air massages and massage parlors where the customers are separated by curtains will only offer massage. Massage parlours that provide a private room may well offer extra services.

The most well known massage parlor offering extra services is Christin Massage - a big pink building on Rat-U-Thit Road south of Bangla. This massage parlour is just a higher-end sex venue. The girls sit behind a glass screen for the customer's selection. The selected girl then takes the customer to a comfortable private room for a soap bath, massage and of course, 'extra services'.

There are several soapy massage parlors in and around Phuket, where you may find female masseurs offering “extra services” for their clients. So, you can pay a visit and enquire about any availability of extra erotic services in these massage parlors in Phuket. However, it is also quite important for you to understand that things might turn into a risky venture if you end up visiting a fraudulent place. So, a little bit of information about genuine massage parlors in Phuket will always help.

Most but not all shops provide these "extra services". Though, once the massage starts, you'll be "strongly hinted" if they do. Location is a big factor as most of the shops around Bangla Road will leave you very happy. However, there are still plenty of "special massage" shops further out toward Nanai and beyond. Generally, if the staff is wearing revealing uniforms, you can be sure your balls will be drained. Massage prices are mostly the same for all the shops and can't usually be negotiated. The prices for "special services" are usually up to the ladies. And for goodness sake, make sure to tip well. Here are the latest prices:

  • Oil massages 400 Baht ($12 USD) as of 2023
  • Handjob additional 1000 Baht ($30 USD) as of 2023
  • Blowjob 1500 Baht ($45 USD) as of 2023
  • Sex 2000 Baht ($60 USD) as of 2023

These are the general prices. But, of course, the prices vary widely depending on how attractive the lady is. Expect to pay more if you pick someone really smoking hot. Sometimes you need to pay as low as 500 Baht (2022) for a handjob from a decently attractive woman and some people pay as high as 7000 Baht (2020) for a one hour outcall with a Victoria's Secret underwear model tier goddess. As with the section above, always be careful of scams and DO NOT go into a shop that looks shady. Stick with the reputable places like:

  • Sansuk Sanctuary Massage Patong
Address: 171/55 Rath-u-thit 200 Pee Road Kathu District, Phuket, Thailand. Phone: 064 863 3696.

Go Go Bars

Where to Have Fun in Soi Bangla?

Most Go-Go Bars are located around Bangla Road in Patong. The most visible ones are on each side of Soi Seadragon – a long, narrow U-shaped backstreet easy to spot in the central part of Bangla. You can find other more adventurous Go-Go bars at the very end of most Soi´s in the area, or on the second floor of bars.

All these clubs are well advertised by dozens of staff members walking up and down Bangla Road with a 'picture menu', often illustrated in a very colorful manner openly inviting you to see a Ping Pong Show and other similar attractions. The shows are not totally male-orientated: Girls and couples are welcome as these shows are definitely an experience and something to talk about once back home. Note that photography is strictly forbidden and we recommend that you don’t even think about it.

Prices

Prices seem to differ from place to place, more often charging around 100 baht for a small bottled beer and others, for some reason, have a high entry fee – sometimes up to 500 baht. Most will invite you to 'have a look inside' before deciding if it is worth the price or not, so don't hesitate to do so.

What to Expect

Girls usually ‘pole dance’ on a central stage, wearing light skirts and bras. Customers can sit around the stage bar, but usually if it’s their first time in a girlie place they prefer to sit on the more dimly-lit sofas around the room to avoid looking embarrassed. Centrally located A Go-Go bars tend to get the young, cute, and slim girls, but the more you head away from the center of Bangla, the older the ladies seem to be.

Girls rotate every five minutes from pole to pole until they reach a complete round. They will then walk offstage to sit with the customers and possibly spend more time with the guests generous enough to offer a lady drink. Conversation might be quite limited as most girls don't speak much English, but it’s never boring chatting with them. As it gets late, bras and skirts tend to vanish.

Places

Go-Go Bars often look very similar but some try little ‘extras’ to stand out from the crowd. Here is a list of popular Go-Go Bars:

  • Devil's Playground - Soi Seadragon (BEST) Read more...
  • Suzy Wong's - Soi Seadragon (HOT!)
  • Exotica - Soi Seadragon
  • Play School A Go-Go - Soi Seadragon
  • House of Sound - Soi Seadragon
  • Playboy A Go Go - Soi Seadragon
  • Diablo A Go-Go - Soi Seadragon
  • The Secret - Soi Easy
  • Moulin Rouge - Soi Vegas (russian girls only!)
  • Money Night - Soi Vegas
  • Roxy A Go-Go - Soi Vegas (GREAT)
  • Rock Hard A Go-Go - Soi Bangla
  • Baccarat A Go Go - Soi Bangla (just closed)

How it works to get bar girl?

Usually when you enter a bar, it won’t be long before one of the ladies has approached you, but if you’d rather sit alone and choose one, they’ll leave you alone. In the actual go go venues, they’ll press you to buy a drink. Drinks in Phuket go go bars aren’t too expensive but there is a premium on the so-called ‘lady drinks’, which are about 120-150 baht and generally watered-down. This is how girls earn their night’s bar wages.

Then there is the ‘bar fine’. When you have decided to take a girl home, you’ll have to pay this to the mamasan (supervisor), which can be up to 500 baht, but usually 300 baht. You should also agree to a price for the girl before leaving and this will be anything from 1,000 to 3,000 baht (depending on short time or whole night), and how pretty she thinks she is.

The main gay area is Soi Paradise in Patong off Rat-U-Thit Road a little north of Bangla Road. It is next to the Royal Paradise Hotel Tower, which is one of the tallest buildings in Patong. There are gay bars, gay cabarets and gay guesthouses. This area also caters to straight women. Some of the boys working in the gay bars are not actually gay and are happy to go with female customers.

You do not need to be gay to visit Soi Paradise. It is a very colourful area and some of the gay cabarets are worth a look.

If you are planning to date a gay or a lesbian, then one of the best ways is to go online. There are multiple websites available these days that provide gay and lesbian dating.

Other Adult Services

Want to show your business here? Get Started Now!

Fetish Clubs (Ping Pong shows)

Depending on the time and the place, shows are performed once every 30 minutes or so but you might have to wait a while if the management feels the imminent presence of the law. Sometimes the show might not happen at all, but that is quite unusual.

The Ping Pong Show: A classic... A show performed by a naked lady, usually more mature than and not as sexy as the dancers. The show not only involves ping pong balls, but also all kinds of other interesting accessories such as goldfish, birds, unopened beer bottles, balloons and even darts to name but a few. If you visit different Go-Go bars, you might see the same lady again as they seem to rotate as these kinds of skills are not acquired overnight!

'The Bath Show': This will probably involve you, so don't be shy, nothing really seriously embarrassing happens… but stay in the background if you are ‘going commando’ or not wearing underpants. If one of your friends is selected, you will be disappointed that photos are not allowed.

Body painting in black light: the artistic moment of the show. It’s actually quite impressive considering that an artist will paint complicated floral patterns on a girl's body in three minutes of almost total darkness.

BDSM

You can definitely find some kinky BDSM action in Phuket. Many of the sex workers are open to many things if you pay some extra cash.

At times the escort service providers come up with several erotic services for the purpose of adult entertainment. One can always enquire about the availability of extra adult services by getting in touch with the escort girls and other sex workers, in and around the place.

Dating

Dating in Phuket can be a bit tricky due to cultural differences, so your best bet is to sign up for a dating site before your trip so you can meet a few locals ahead of time.

Where to find Ladyboys for sex in Phuket? How to get laid with ladyboy in Phuket? Our Phuket Ladyboy guide will tell you that!

Ladyboys

Known in Thai by the jokey term Kathoey. You may also hear them called ladyboy, he-males or she-males. Katoeys are of course men who look like women. Some have had varying degrees of gender altering surgery. Some take hormones to increase their female attributes. Some just dress and make up as females. Whilst some (like the three in the photo) are easy to spot, there are others that make very attractive women and if you saw them in the street, you really would not know they were men. There are many stories of men picking up women in bars only to find when they get back to their hotel that she is in fact a he. These are not just legends - it really does happen.

Katoeys have become something of a tourist attraction. In Bangla Road, you can see them at the entrance to Soi Crocodile, which is often referred to as Soi Katoey. Many tourists come to drink at one of the surrounding beer bars while watching the katoeys dance on the tables. You can take a photo with the katoeys but remember to pay them a tip - they are notoriously spiteful if they feel cheated.

There are also a couple of katoey bars and a kathoey cabaret at the back of Soi Crocodile.

Another place to see katoeys is Simon Cabaret at the south end of Patong on the road to Karon. It is a simple but well-done cabaret show with katoeys dressed in spectacular costumes and miming to a range of songs. You will be amazed at just how convincing some of them are.

You can also see katoeys in the gay area of Patong at Soi Paradise.

Ladyboy Street Hookers

There are many ladyboys on the streets late at night after bars close and they will come to you. Between Bangla Road and Beach Road the Streetwalker ladyboys hang around. The average price for a ladyboy prostitute from the street is between 400-1500 baht. It depends how good you negotiate. Be always aware because it's common that they try to steal something or find reasons to get more money after sex.

Ladyboy Bars

Picking up a ladyboy from a ladyboy gogo bar you need to pay a bar fine that varies between 300 - 600 bath and then you need to pay for the girl 500 - 2000 bath.

Transsexual Escorts

Phuket ladyboy escort services are available these days and all over the online boards and on the dating apps. So, one can hire such transsexual and shemale escort services in order to enjoy dating them amidst all sorts of erotic offerings. But remember there might be fraudsters roaming around. Be a bit careful while choosing your shemale and transsexual date. Nowadays many Thai tranny escorts seek clients on the tinder, and often they don't talk about the cost before you meet them. So make sure to always ask if the t-girl is an escort and how much they charge!

Sexual Services for Women

In Phuket, a small lane north of Soi Bangla caters largely to Japanese female tourists, and sex is on offer, with ladies able to choose among Nigerians, Thais and Westerners.

If you are open to local men, your chances of dating are not much worse than in other countries. To be fair: It’s true that a western woman will have it a bit more difficult than her western counterpart. Thai guys don’t throw yourself at you – and those that do are usually no good. But there is definitely an interest and curiosity from the side of Thai men that is often challenged by shyness and a lack of English skills. Plus many Thai men approach women in a very subtle way. Maybe you’ve been approached and didn’t even notice it. Learning the language and Thai culture will make your life easier (again: Duh! It’s common sense!).

There are male escorts and gigolos available in the adult entertainment market of Phuket. So, one can hire their services by getting in touch with the service providers via phone calls or through word of mouth.

Sleeping and Girl Friendly Hotels

Few of the hotels in Phuket will not allow 'overnight guests'. Many others charge a guest fee or joiner fee (anywhere from 300-baht to 3000-baht). Hotels and guesthouses that allow overnight guests and do not charge a guest fee are referred to by the punters as 'guest friendly'. The smaller hotels and guest houses are more likely to be guest friendly than the major hotels. If you can not find the information if your Phuket hotel is "guest friendly", then it is best to call the hotel before making the booking, or if you are at the location-just go to the front desk and ask if you are allowed to bring guests to your room!

See also: Global list of girl friendly hotels

If you are finding rooms to get intimate with your local girlfriends and not with the escorts, then do your selection wisely. Example many local girls do not come to the hotels which are known to be popular among the prostitutes or which are in the seedy area. So if you just want to hookup with the local Phuket girls and maybe sometimes fuck a sex worker, then choose a nice, clean hotel from not at the red-light district (Must be a guest friendly) or maybe airbnb!

Stay Safe

Always wear a condom - it is just not worth the risk. If you do not have a condom then the girl should have one.

Remember no matter how lovely the girl may seem, she is working in an industry that is likely to corrupt. When the girls first arrive in Phuket, they are usually well-mannered Thai country folk. However, they very quickly learn the tricks of the trade. And above all else, they are working for money.

If you take a girl back to your hotel then many hotel receptions will ask to see the girl's ID card. They do this to ensure the girl cannot get away with committing a crime against you. Theft is the main danger. You go to the shower and she takes your wallet and leaves. You go to sleep and she takes your valuables and is gone. You are not looking and she takes your jewelry before kissing you good-bye. Remember if the girl knows you are on holiday for two weeks, then she can disappear for two weeks. If you take a girl from a beer bar or go-go she will be easier to trace but it is no guarantee. You could consider asking to see the girl's ID card yourself. It might not be romantic or charming but let's face it, this is not romance. You can check her date of birth to be sure she is over 18 by subtracting 543 from the Thai year.

There have been many reports from Bangkok and Pattaya of girls doping customers. The last thing the customer remembers is having a drink with a girl and the next thing he knows he is waking up with a stunning headache and his valuables gone. There have now been a few confirmed reports of this happening in Phuket. Men are often reluctant to report these crimes so there is no knowing how prevalent this is in Phuket. We do not believe it is common in Phuket but still it is a good idea to be careful with your drinks.

Theft from customers is not the most common scam. The girls know they can make much more money if the customer gives it voluntarily. The sob stories the girls tell their customers are brilliant heart-tugging tales of woe designed to elicit sympathy. The punch line will invariably be that she needs to make big money to pay for someone's hospital care or to save her family from starvation. The old-hands call them sick buffalo stories and treat them with great skepticism. In fact, there is often an element of truth to the stories. The girls do come from poor backgrounds and their families are often suffering hardship. That does not mean the final punch line for money is true or that you have any responsibility to pay for it.

Another common scam is the girl will tell the man she will stop working in bars and be faithful to him, if he can send her money. The man will then go home and send the girl regular payments thinking he is keeping her out of the bar. Many of the girls have several western boyfriends on the go at the same time sending money and they are still making more money from new customers in their bars.

It is not fair to portray all the girls as scam masters. Many are honest, hard working girls trying to make a living as best they can. Lots of western men have married Thai girls they met in bars and are very happy. However, the sex industry is a corrupting influence and you should be on your guard. There are no hard-and-fast rules - every girl is different and should be judged individually. A good dose of cynicism is sensible.

Never exchange personal contacts and other valuable details with any random person you meet. Apart from that, using a condom before being intimate with someone is a must to do.
