Ladies of Patong Beach

Since I began my journey, many of the "Journey" group (males and females) have asked questions about prostitution - hence the recurring prostitution FAQs. These individuals have also repeatedly asked for related pics. I have yet to include any prostitute- related pics for two reasons: 1) fearing I will lose it or it will be stolen, I do not like to carry my BB at night, and; 2) my BB night pics leave much to be desired. Given that the prostitute pic requests have continue - hence this 2-email series.

The grand entrance to the prostitution bar area of Patong Beach. There are also many restaurants and shops in the same area.

Thailand is known for its gay friendly environment and straight/gay prostitution. I linked-up with a German lesbian, Renata, at dinner last night who comes to Patong Beach alone at least once yearly for "sex vacations". Renata, attractive/medium build/natural blonde/late 20s, agreed to introduce me to the sex night clubs of Patong Beach - but no pics of her because she is a closet lesbian!

The ladies stand in front of the bars - most of which are open to the streets/walkways. Ladies can be paid to accompany you for the night - 1000-3500 baht ($30-$100) for the entire night/24 hours PLUS a "bar fine" of 100-400 baht ($3-$12) paid to the bar for the drinks you won't buy her when you leave with her. Renata explained that the ladies get to keep all the money you pay them - there are no pimps per se.


Ladies in front of a typical bar on the Patong Beach strip. Many of the bars are not open to the street and have no ladies in front - these have "shows" inside - most "shows" being g-string only and totally nude "go-go" girls.


More Patong Beach bar ladies. They come in all shapes, sizes, and their attire varies from tight jeans/blouses to very skimpy/revealing "cocktail dresses". Their ages? Some could easily pass for early teens but are no doubt probably late teens/early 20d. Some but very few are obviously late 30s and appear to have led "rough lives".

Renata explained that only about 20% of the female ladies are bisexual - none are full lesbians. Interestingly, there are numerous shemales and most work the bars that cater to straight males - there are only a few bars that are staffed totally by shemales.
