Soi Cowboy Go-Go Bars
***************************************************
THIS PAGE WAS UPDATED ON NOVEMBER 9th, 2008
Soi Cowboy stays open until at least 2:00am on a nightly basis. Sometimes the go-go bars are open after 2:00am. Much depends upon what the boys in brown are doing.
(Go-Go Bar Updates - July 3rd, 2008) - Bacarra, Black & White, Country Road, Coyote, Dollhouse, Fanny’s, Five Star, Jungle Jim’s, Long Gun
(Go-Go Bar Updates - May 29th, 2008) - After Skool - Baccara
Following a short spell of sporadic early closing, the closing times have reverted back to 2:00am.
Although drink prices have risen in Soi Cowboy, it still remains good value for money. Almost all of the bars still offer a Happy Hour. Because of the Happy Hours and the fact that the bars open early, Soi Cowboy remains an excellent choice to start your evening.

SOI COWBOY – BANGKOK
Upon entering Soi Cowboy, you are immediately hit by a kaleidoscope of bright colours. The amount of neon on display per square metre is like being in a small corner of Las Vegas. These days I think Soi Cowboy proudly displays the most impressive array of colourful neon signs in the whole of Bangkok. There are so many neon lights making this little street glow so predominantly, that it could almost be a tourist attraction in itself. As you take a leisurely stroll down Cowboy Street, you cannot help but get a buzz from this most exciting visual carnival.
Soi Cowboy has raised in stature with an improvement in the way the bargirls, or in some cases, “bare-girls” treat the customers. Soi Cowboy is a fun and friendly place to hang out with more attractive girls becoming evident in a few of the top go-go bars. The historic Soi Cowboy still maintains a reputation of being friendlier and more laid back than most of the other nightlife areas. As well as been kind on the character, the mega cheap Happy Hours make it kind on the bank balances of the frugal folks!
Having a stroll through “Little Las Vegas” is never a dull experience for me personally. I think that the Q factor (quantity of quality) has risen considerably in some go-go bars in Soi Cowboy. Combined with the BIG advantage of “showing”, Soi Cowboy has emerged as a more popular nightspot throughout this few years. This especially applies to farang residents who like to frequent Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza and the many good pubs and theme bars that Bangkok offers in abundance. Soi Cowboy remains a popular choice for farang expats. With some of the eye candy on offer, it’s not surprising!
***************************************************
(Update - April 18th, 2008) - Every bar except two has a Happy Hour in Soi Cowboy. The average price is very cheap at 60 Baht for house beers and spirits. Currently, Soi Cowboy has the advantage out of the three go-go bar areas. The amount of “showing” in Soi Cowboy is far greater than both Nana Plaza and Patpong put together. Some people underestimate what a tremendous advantage ”showing” is. Also, the closing times are more relaxed than Nana Plaza. Closing times in Soi Cowboy vary, which is due to what time the Thai police turn up. Depending on the night Soi Cowboy closes any time from 1:00am - 2:00am. Just lately Soi Cowboy has been closing at 2:00am, so things are looking good for Little Las Vegas…

After Skool Bar - (Update May 29th, 2008)
Naughty nubiles dressed as schoolgirls provide a “hands-on” service. The “Naughty Boys Corner” is rather naughty to say the very least! The “students” here are proficient in manual work and oral tests. A favourite pit stop for those needing some human plumbing.
***************************************************
Baccara Go-Go Bar - (Updated - July 3rd, 2008)
Located at the Soi 23 end of Soi Cowboy. Baccara has been remodelled and is bigger and better than before. Baccara is a medium sized go-go bar with two levels. Infamous for being a “Jap Trap” but there are some attractive go-go girls. Downstairs the go-go dancers are dressed in full bikinis. Whereas upstairs the schoolgirls conveniently lose items of clothing.
The introduction of “NO SMOKING” makes the downstairs area much more comfortable. It is a relief that the Japanese chain-smokers are not blowing up a storm. Just recently Baccara has replenished her line-up. Baccara has the most go-go dancers in Soi Cowboy. Well worth a visit. Remains somewhat of a “Jap Trap” because SMOKING is allowed upstairs. Non-smokers need to be aware of that. Baccara is brimming with go-go dancers!
***************************************************
Black & White Go-Go Bar - (Update - July 3rd, 2008)
Located next to Tilac Go-Go Bar. Black & White is a small go-go bar that has just been sold. Black & White is now a sister bar to Midnite, Our Place, Spice Girls, Deja Vu and Spankys in Nana Plaza. The new owner immediately hiked the prices and as a result some girls have since stopped working in Black & White. Furthermore, Black & White is no longer on my list of go-go bars to visit.
***************************************************
Cactus Go-Go Bar - (Update - April 28th, 2008)
Cactus is a small go-go bar that is rather rough and ready. The go-go dancers are more mature, but definitely farang friendly. The go-go dancers attire is birthday suits. Currently, smoking is still permitted.
***************************************************
Cocktail Club
***************************************************
Country Road - (Updated - July 3rd, 2008)
American style roadhouse with live entertainment and an adjacent pool bar. Something of an institution in Bangkok that gives Soi Cowboy a diverse choice of venues. Country Road is still popular after all these years. A place to chill out if you are into country and western music.
***************************************************
Cowboy 2 Go-Go Bar
***************************************************
Coyote Go-Go Bar - (Updated - July 3rd, 2008)
Used to be Apache Go-Go Bar, which has since been taken over by the owners of Suzie Wong, Shadow Sports Bar, and Shebas. Fun and friendly go-go girls who are certainly not shy to interact. This can be a very fun place, especially when the go-go girls start drinking Thai whisky. Although the line-up has been replenished, this is not a go-go bar known for its glitz & glam. However, the go-go girls are very farang friendly.
***************************************************
Deja Vu Go-Go Bar
Sister go-go bar to Spice Girls, Midnite, Our Place, Black & White and Spankys in Nana Plaza. Currently, Deja Vu has the best line-up out of the six sisters.
***************************************************
Dollhouse Go-Go Bar - (Updated - July 3rd, 2008)
A popular go-go bar from when it first emerged in Clinton Plaza. Dollhouse has always had a reputation for attractive go-go dancers. WARNING! This place is a “booby trap” with go-go girls busting out all over the place. For those guys who like their bargirls top heavy Dollhouse is the right pleasure palace. Dollhouse run a “Crazy Hour” up until 8:30pm. Standard drinks are only 50 Baht. With Dollhouse it is best to get in earlier rather than later. Later on many of the best go-go dancers have been taken and the Crazy Hour has ended. The Crazy Hour is great for the customers, but rather self-defeating for Dollhouse. A good go-go bar to start your rounds in Soi Cowboy.

Dundee Bar
***************************************************
Fanny’s Bar - (Updated - July 3rd, 2008)
A naughty but nice den of inequity. Short time rooms are available upstairs for a reasonable price. The bargirls here are not the most glamorous, but very farang friendly.
***************************************************
Five Star Bar - (Updated - July 3rd, 2008)
The only go-go bar in Bangkok to feature a live band. The vocal skills leave a bit to be desired, but the lead guitarist is superb. Apparently, the lead guitarist won a competition in America. Congratulations! A great place to hang out and again, this shows how diverse the entertainment is in Soi Cowboy. Well worth a visit for live music fans.
**************************************************
Joe’s Bar
***************************************************
Joy Gnern Bar
***************************************************
Jungle Jim’s Bar - (Updated - July 3rd, 2008)
Operates to a regular bar format. Old Jungle Jim’s is something of a Soi Cowboy institution. However, these days its rough & ready and certainly showing its age.
***************************************************
Long Gun Go-Go Bar - (Updated - July 3rd, 2008)
Still going strong after several decades. Deemed by veterans as an institution in Soi Cowboy and also in Bangkok’s naughty nighlife scene. Same ownership as Rawhide Go-Go Bar. The “magic pussy shows” are a turn off for some people, but they do have some lovely dolly birds. Long Gun looks about 100 years old, but it still draws a crowd on a nightly basis. I avoid the “genital gymnastics” but I still enjoy the Rock Show. The Rock Show consists of a string of classic rock songs, where the showgirls perform some fantastic acrobatic acts. A terrific Happy Hour and standard drinks are very reasonably priced by Bangkok’s standards.

Late night pool and chill out bar. Same ownership as Long Gun and Rawhide.
***************************************************
Rawhide Go-Go Bar - Located just down from Long Gun. Deemed by many as currently the best show bar in Soi Cowboy.
