The beer bars account for a majority of the hangouts along Bangla Road, Patong's nightlife hub, and its numerous side streets. Patong Nightlife can be gaudy, rowdy, naughty, noisy, tacky, disgusting, or delightful -- take your pick to describe it. As the sun goes down the lights come on, the girls and katoeys (transsexuals) come out, and the show begins on soi Bangla and the surrounding areas. ‘Beer bars’ Thai style usually have a score of young hostesses (generally female) who serve drinks and chit chat with the customers (usually male). The competition is fierce and the management of each establishment depends on the charms and the finely honed talents of persuasion of the girls to help potential customers decide where they want to enjoy a drink or two.

It is in Patong where by far the largest number of A-Go-Go bars can be found. Similar bars exist around the world but the visitor will find something quite unique about the ones in Patong. Perhaps it's the girls, perhaps it's the warm welcome, whatever it is it's an experience we suggest you don't miss. Here you will find very pretty girls indeed displaying their charms and talents for your entertainment. The girls usually dance on a raised stage around gleaming dancing poles, and will dance for your entertainment to a varied musical selection ranging from the latest hits to old favourites. During the evening don't be surprised if the dancers give way every so often to a few girls who perform a more daring and intimate show for the guests. You will see that the girls may well be wearing numbers - it makes it easier for you to point out to the bar staff which one you like the look of. As with the beer bars, the girls may well be willing to spend some personal time with you if you wish and agree those delicate financial matters. Again, you will have to pay a bar fine if you and your new friend leave to seek entertainment elsewhere.

Beer bars are all over Patong. There are endless rows of the crammed into every corner of the area, up streets, down sois, tucked away here there and everywhere. While the go-go bars are usually quite full on, the beers bars of Patong are a lot more relaxed and it’s possible to just have a drink and chill.

There’s still lots of eye candy, coming in the form of the beer-bar hostesses. These pretty Thai girls will lure you in, get you seated and then see what they can get out of you. Games of Connect 4 are commonplace.

You might win a few games, but by the time you’re betting for drinks, you’ll always lost. The girls will keep you entertained so long as the drinks keep flowing. If you want to take one of the Thai girls out or even take her home – and a lot of men do – you have to pay a bar fine to relinquish the young lady of her duties for the night. To have sex with one of these women will cost you an additional fee, to be agreed on by the two parties.

There are so many beer bar employing so many Thai girls that it’s pointless to recommend where to go. Take a stroll around Soi Bangla until you find somewhere – or someone – you like. Bar hopping around Bangla is a lot of fun.

When you wake up on Sunday morning and you are still willing to continue with the partying, we can offer you one or more things... „Laem Sing Beach” is only 6 miles away north from Patong.

The adventure starts right after you park your scooter. There’s a small footpath heading to the beach, where you will definitely feel a little tired afterwards. But let me tell you something! The minute you arrive on the beach with this breath-taking panorama, you will definitely feel, that it was worth it! Each and every step! A wonderful shore with beautiful rocks on one side, and nice silky sand all over the beach!

You can start with a good breakfast, in one of the restaurants (where you get tasty food with reasonable prices), and you can hop in to the warm, clear-blue water of the Andaman Sea, when the Dj starts changing the discs, one after the other...

Every Sunday at 4 pm starts the „Sound wave Sundays Party On Laem Sing Beach”, and the party lasts as long as the people on the shore won’t get tired. A perfect finish for the end of the week...
