If during the day the island attracts numerous tourists with sandy beaches with turquoise water, then at night Phuket attracts with its mystery, the brilliance of colorful neon lights. At this time, noisy markets, cheerful restaurants and loud rhythmic music reign here. It seems that the life of the resort is reborn with renewed vigor, the night energy is replacing the old day and the island is preparing to meet the new.
Night excursions
A popular place visited by locals and all visitors to Phuket in the evening is the night markets. On them you can find thousands of products of different categories and names. As soon as the heat of the day subsides, dozens of stalls unfold here, the sellers of which willingly bargain with numerous tourists. Nearby you can find cozy cafes and entertainment shows. In a word, at night it is very cheerful and cozy here. The most popular and interesting night markets are: Naka, Lard Yai, Indi Market, Paradise.
Another famous and legendary place is the walking street Bangla Road in Patong. It is similar to Waking Street in Pattaya. All the same set of entertainment - night bars, striptease and go-go clubs, erotic shows for adults, restaurants, shops, street food.
The travel agency offers travelers a variety of evening excursion programs that will not leave indifferent tourists who go to Phuket for vivid emotions. Phuket at night is represented by excursions in the format of bright shows that give the builders a storm of emotions and leave indelible impressions for a long time.
Excursion "Fantasy" is a colorful show of people and elephants, whose visitors are amazed by the beauty of elegant costumes, the skill of gymnasts and acrobats, jugglers. The performance is accompanied by pyrotechnic and electronic effects, thematic music. Theatrical production will appeal to both adults and children. The cost of a child and adult ticket is 1500 baht.
No less exciting excursion to the Siam Niramit show session. This is a colorful performance, which involves dozens of actors - acrobats and gymnasts, dressed in bright costumes. The main idea of this production is a story about Thai traditions, culture and moods of nature. The latter is shown as realistically as possible, using the latest lighting technologies. Each scene is an unexpected turn of events. The cost of the show for adults and children is 1150 baht.
Unique excursions to the show of transvestites "Simon Cabaret" and "Aphrodite" will charge tourists with positive and positive emotions. Brilliant acting and bright outfits will bring genuine pleasure to both adults and children. Ticket price - from 700 baht / adult, from 500 baht / child.
Excursion to an exclusively adult performance "XXX show". Acting and stage scenery embody all the most intimate emotions and ardent desires. Entrance fee - 850 baht / adult.
Tourists who have visited Phuket compare the nightlife of the resort with a visit to the island of Phi Phi Don. During the daytime, there is little to do there, but at night, exciting performances are arranged for travelers, such as a fire show or dancing on the beach. They are accompanied by cheerful music. Those wishing to take a direct part in the action are offered jumping rope or overcoming an obstacle in the form of a burning stick.
Phuket is relatively safe at night. The main problem is the increasing incidence of theft in deserted and poorly lit places. Therefore, you should not take valuables, all cash, and, especially, documents for an evening walk around the resort. At night, in potentially dangerous areas, police squads are on duty to monitor law and order on the streets.
Without a doubt, Phuket at night is the center of all entertainment in Thailand. The nightlife in Phuket is just bubbling and excites the experienced.
Many of those who rested in Pattaya may argue, but we are ready to prove the opposite.
What is Phuket nightlife like?
Bangala Road is often compared to Walking Street in Pattaya. There are several discos, about 200 bars, clubs, go-go - a whole quarter of entertainment! As you can see, these entertainment centers cannot be compared.
Bangla Road connects the two main roads of Patong and stretches for 350 meters. Small streets run away from it - soybeans, with bars and go-go clubs.
Phuket nightlife starts at 21.00 when the bars open. Their work officially ends at one in the morning, but sometimes the fun can continue until the morning. Mostly in those establishments where the owner has a "hairy paw" in the police. They are mostly not disturbed by police raids and surprise checks.
In each institution, 10-15 provocatively dressed girls hang around the bar counter. Their task is to shake out more money from the client.
The reasons for the nightlife in Phuket and why they go to the panel are different - some want to find a rich foreign guy, others temporarily earn money, others think that it is temporary, but it turns out forever. However, the driving force of their motives is the same - money.
A tourist needs to understand this when a girl in broken Russian or English begins plaintively begging for money, referring to her brothers and sisters in the village, and that she will quit prostitution if she is helped financially.
Some clients fall for the bait, sometimes they send money even after the holidays. Perhaps material difficulties are the motive, but you can work not only as a confused woman. If you like a girl in a bar, you owe the owner a compensation called bar-fine - from 200 to 500 baht per evening.
When you take her for several days, the bar-fine must be paid for all days. But this is already a larger amount - the owner's profit from one girl is from 1000 to 4000 baht per evening.
Along the way, advice - take a girlfriend for one evening. Thai girls have one remarkable character trait: after a few days, she will begin to consider you her boyfriend and will start pumping rights, throwing tantrums when you look at other girls. And this is despite the fact that you bought it.
When traveling, you pay for her, and she will expect gifts from you every day. As a rule, this is gold - in Thai society it is a symbol of one's position. Giving your number or email is at least imprudent - the cries for financial assistance from a Thai girl and her numerous relatives will not let you sleep at night!
These tips are based on the experience of those who have already been burned by their kindness. The main thing to remember is that, in essence, they are confused, no matter how they justify themselves, and their goal is the same - money. Having passed dozens of men through themselves, the girls do not suffer from sentimentality - this is their life and way of surviving in Phuket.
“The queen gave birth in the night - either a son or a daughter”
It would be a significant omission not to tell about this interesting phenomenon of night Phuket. There are many stories about how a Central Russian peasant filmed a girl, and then, in horror, found her male “principles”.
Katoi or ladyboy as they are called in Thailand. You can't blame the Thais , thinking they are all perverts. It just didn't happen out of nowhere.
The flow of perverts from Europe and other, strongly "developed" countries, gave rise to a proposal. And modern surgery, coupled with hormonal drugs, has made it a problem to distinguish a girl from a “not quite” girl. Those who are taller, more attractive and, oddly enough, often more beautiful than real women.
They can be visually identified by their large Adam's apple and rough voice. There are special establishments in Phuket exclusively for trances. These strangers, still in our area "little animals", have a fashion in the evening to walk around Bangla and nearby streets in the hope of attracting a client.
They are seemingly friendly, but disturbed body chemistry can provoke aggression or tantrums in them. In addition, they can simply steal your wallet. So be careful, Phuket at night is mysterious. Tourists love to be photographed with transsexuals - after all, exotic. Photos are not free. It is better to pay than to get a "male" tantrum.
Go-go nightclubs in Phuket
The undoubted interest of the tourist is the nightlife of Phuket with go-go clubs and bars, with local fairies undressed or partially naked and. Life here is just in full swing and it excites the whole of Phuket until the morning.
Most of these establishments are located, again, on the sides of Bangala Road. It is impossible to pass by a go-go bar - advertising is the engine of such an exotic industry!
If you're not completely blind, a bright neon sign will let you know where it is. If the Lord has deprived you of your eyesight, the employees of the bars of Phuket at night will draw your attention to shouting at their location and lead you by the hand into the middle. Contrary to popular belief, go-gos are not brothels, but bars with a show program that is strictly forbidden to be photographed.
Performances are focused not only on men, but also on couples and girls, in a different color from the usual. The girls, rather undressed than dressed, move smoothly to the music. This causes active salivation in men, well, you yourself understand what else ... Girls are mostly young and attractive.
In institutions further from the center, in the side streets, it is already worse, but also cheaper. We have already written about the payment for their services above. After 12 nights, skirts and bras disappear. The girls, each for five minutes, spend at the pole to be evaluated and chosen. After paying for the services, the client and the girl go to a nearby hotel.
By the way, if you do not adhere to such entertainment, then you can visit a calmer and more colorful show called "Fantasy" or as it is also called.
Thailand night show for adults
The "cultural" program in Phuket's night bars is very rich. Room changes take place every half an hour.
What Phuket Nightlife Offers
1. Drawings on the body in the dark. A very intriguing number - the artist creates a complex drawing on the body of a naked girl in almost complete darkness in three minutes.
2. Ping pong show. So to speak, the "mandatory" number for one time. The second time to look at this, as a rule, does not pull. An older woman shows literally inhuman possibilities of her lower body. With trained muscles, he shoots arrows, falling into inflatable balls in the hands of men, pulling blades, crucian carp and other nonsense from there.
2. Show in the bath. Several girls in a bubble bath and someone from the audience is an extraordinary sight.
4. Show girls. Two or more indifferent one to one girls - then turn on the fantasy.
Entrance to go-go bars is, in most cases, free, but you must order a drink that costs an average of 120 baht. There are establishments with a fixed fee.
Unfortunately, in this brief overview, it is impossible to cover all the entertainment that the nightlife in Phuket has to offer. To do this, you need to go to Thailand and try this life for yourself.
All about nightlife in Phuket - video
Tourists from all over the world come to Phuket not for a calm and measured rest, but for adventure, drive, vivid sensations. There is enough "bread and circuses" for every taste and budget. Phuket is famous for its nightlife. With the onset of darkness, the city changes and a real extravaganza of entertainment for vacationers begins. There are many nightclubs here, you don’t have to go far.
Clubs in Phuket are quite large, have several dance floors, and, of course, they are designed mainly for tourists. Most of the clubs in Phuket open at 8 pm, but people usually start to catch up after ten o'clock.
How to attract guests: Thai tricks
It is rare to meet a Thai man in a club. But on the other hand, there are a lot of Thai girls here, most of which are “night butterflies”. Although if you try, you can get acquainted with ordinary Thai women with whom you will have fun. Since there are a lot of nightclubs in Phuket, like a couch potato on the beach, each of them attracts guests in the best possible way. They try to lure girls to their place, enticing them with free admission and drinks at the expense of the institution.
But what about men? Everything is very simple - the Thais use a win-win strategy: if there are a lot of girls in the club, then the men will go here themselves without a special invitation. For men, here, as if smeared with honey - the exotic beauty of taek beckons like a magnet. They are easy to communicate with, they can easily sit down with a man themselves, be sure to treat her to a drink, and you will be provided with a pleasant evening alone with her.
]For closer communication, you can easily negotiate with the beauty, but you will have to unfasten the percentage of the club.
There is never a shortage of guests! Especially since most Phuket nightclubs do not charge an entrance fee. On any day of the week the clubs are filled with visitors. Most of the establishments are located in Patong. Here, nightclubs are literally at every turn. There are many ways to get here from Phuket Town. In the afternoon - by bus, taxi, tuk-tuk. Some tourists prefer to rent a bike or car, but then you have to limit yourself to alcoholic beverages.
At night, you can only get to Patong by taxi or tuk-tuk. To increase the interest of tourists, many nightclubs in Phuket have their own "zest", which is not found in other establishments. Not every disco in Phuket will be interesting. Which of them deserve attention?
"Seduction" (Seduction Nightclub)
One of the largest nightclubs in Phuket with five dance floors and a capacity of three thousand people. Located on Bangla Road. It is considered the most pretentious club in Patong. Only popular music plays here all night long. The security service in the club works well, so in terms of fights and other brawls, it is quite calm here, as far as it is possible in a nightclub. It is impossible to pass by, a bright and large sign is visible from all sides of the street.
They constantly offer discounts, hold promotions, distribute enticing flyers at the entrance. At a discount, you can get a drink for almost nothing - for 50 baht, and prices start at 150 baht. You can only enter the club through security. Do not be surprised if you are asked to open your purse, searched from head to toe, any dangerous items will be seized. When you leave the club, you can pick up everything.
Entrance is free for everyone, but numerous waiters are constantly scurrying around the club and persistently offer to order something.
The main entertainment of the club is concentrated on the second floor. There is a bar, tables, chairs. Do not be stingy with a tip to the waiter - 20-40 baht. A large dance floor with a ball in the middle, an ordinary interior and white stripes of fabric coming down from the ceiling. The main audience comes here to warm up on the dance floor, surrounded by a huge number of people, to drink, to find a companion for the night.
The main things that tourists like here and attract guests:
- institution scale,
- high level of security
- the opportunity to light the music of world-famous DJs who come here at the invitation of the Thais.
"Hollywood" (Hollywood Disco)
An enticing name. Also located on Bangla Road. There is no entrance fee, but you will need to buy a drink. How this is tracked is not clear, because there are many visitors here. Probably, they hope for the honesty of vacationers. Drink prices start at 100 baht.
At the entrance, you will have to temporarily part with all piercing objects, drinks and food. There are many taeks in provocative clothes, which speaks of their occupation. Choose any, it's not in their rules to refuse. Poles are installed on the dance floor, which do not experience a shortage of those who want to spin around them. It will not be possible to capture this spectacle, since photography and video filming are prohibited. For girls, there is a special entertainment here - gifts are thrown from the stage right into the crowd, whoever caught it - he took it. Guys are not allowed to catch.
The toilets are equipped with LCD TVs, defecate in a boring environment - this is not about a nightclub in Patong "H ollywood. After using the toilet, even specially assigned people will help you dry your hands. Every week there are theme parties in honor of a movie.
Among the most spectacular theme parties are Moulin Rouge, Pirates of the Caribbean and others based on famous films.
On the day of the party, the premises of the club change greatly due to the design of the halls. When the masquerade show reaches its climax, a lottery begins, where you can win very good prizes.
"Tiger" (Tiger Disco)
Disco club in Patong, located on the famous Bangla Road. Girls are free, entrance ticket for men is 200 baht (one drink is included). Soft drinks from 100 baht, cocktails - from 150 baht. The nightclub differs from others in its interior: tiger and snake heads, different stones, just high ceilings. It feels like you are in a cave.
The hall is decorated with living plants and paintings. There is even a garden, and there is a special place for smoking. Quite an impressive range of drinks, including exclusive ones. The prices here are higher than in other nightclubs in Patong. Foam parties are often held here, as well as Russian Nights, White parties, full moon parties - every month on the full moon, the club's visitors are waiting for unbridled dances with a fire show.
In addition to the nightclubs named in Phuket, one can single out such establishments as:
- "Banana", where classical music is performed live;
- "White Room" with white interior;
- "Moulin Rouge" - Russian strip club with free entrance, but paid exit at a negotiated price, escort services are provided;
- "Soi Crocodile" (or Soi Katoey) - at the entrance, visitors are lured by transvestites in chic outfits with feathers; for a nominal fee you can take a picture with them;
- "Kiss Disco" - a nightclub for gays, every night there is a cabaret show twice;
- "Illusion" - accommodates more than four thousand visitors and is equipped with the latest technology, theatrical performances are periodically held in the style of the circus "Du Soleil".
All nightclubs in Phuket are located close to each other, so you can safely choose: if you don’t like one, go a few steps and look into another, and so at least all night.
Remember that some nightclubs are designed exclusively for gay guys.
Literally in every institution you can find a full range of Thai entertainment, girls without complexes, look at spectacular exotic shows. The main thing after that is not to oversleep all day, because during the day Phuket also offers a lot of interesting things.
Previously, new beach clubs in Phuket appeared so often that it was difficult to keep track. However, now there are only about a dozen noteworthy establishments left. The Catch Beach Club on Surin Beach was one of the first to start the beach club trend ten years ago, but with Phuket's popularity growing, tourists are looking for new places to stay. The beach clubs definitely add to the festive tropical feel of the island!
Cafe del Mar, Kamala beach
Cafe Del Mar is located in the northern part of Kamala beach under the trees, which perfectly protects it from the sun during the day. However, at night it is stuffy in the club, because the sea breeze does not reach its territory well. To relax in the club, you need to pay 1,000 baht for a single deck chair or 3,000 for a double deck chair (wooden deck chairs with soft mattresses). This is not a rent, but the minimum you have to spend on food and drinks at the club. Beer costs about 130 baht, craft beer - 250, whiskey or tequila - from 240, cocktails - from 280.
Catch Beach Club, Bangtao Beach
Catch Beach was the first true beach club to open in Phuket many years ago. During the "war" of the administration with beach establishments, the club was closed. And recently returned, having moved to Bangato, and became more popular than ever, especially among expats. The music here is great, and on the weekends the place is buzzing with crowds. The list of drinks is very extensive, with many refreshing cocktails, as well as a nice wine list. Beer Singha, San Miguel Light or Heineken costs 130 baht. You will pay about 400 baht for a portion of oriental tapas, 450 baht for a branded club pizza.
Dream Club, Layan Beach
Dream Club at Layan Beach is the successor to the short-lived Nikki Beach Club. It is not so famous for wild parties, the atmosphere here is more relaxed, but this does not reduce the attractiveness of the club. The menu is an original combination of Japanese, Italian cuisine and the unique dishes of the Nikki Club. Two pools, 4 bars and about 100 sun loungers right on the sand - Dream Club is considered one of the biggest beach clubs in Thailand.
HQ Beach Lounge, Kamala Beach
HQ Beach Lounge, located in the northern part of Kamala Beach next to the Novotel Kamala, is one of the few beach clubs that have survived in Phuket from the time of its opening. There was a time when beach clubs thrived on almost every beach, but many closed due to illegal construction on the beach. HQ Beach Club still stands proudly under the huge Casuarina trees along the beach.
The restaurant serves tapas, pizza and burgers, New Zealand lamb chops, Australian beef steak and more. The club plays a DJ, during the day the music is muted, and on weekends there are bright parties.
Iguana Club, Patong Beach
Iguana Beach Club is one of the smallest beach clubs in Phuket, which doesn't stop it from drawing a crowd every weekend. Tucked away between the beaches of Patong and Kamala, Iguana Beach Club is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing cocktail while watching the sunset while waiting for a party led by some famous DJ. And during the day you can relax in silence on soft chairs overlooking the sea after a stormy night in Patong.
Rekata Club, Kata Beach
The Re Ka Ta Beach Club is located in the southern part of Kata Beach and is part of the Boathouse restaurant. The club is fun and colorful, but doesn't give the beach holiday feel you find in other similar establishments. The price tag is also slightly higher than in other clubs, but the choice of food and drinks is wider due to the fact that the club is an extension of the restaurant.
Xana Beach Club, Bangtao
Xana Beach Club is located directly on Bangtao Beach. The focus here is not parties and cool DJs. The club is positioned as a place for a relaxing holiday: during the day you can swim in a 35-meter pool or dive into the Andaman Sea, and in the evening continue your vacation with pleasant music. Food can be ordered at any time, as well as a large selection of cocktails and other alcoholic beverages.
The first thing to say about these beer establishments is that they go there not so much to drink beer as to meet local girls. The girls working in these bars are never against such acquaintances, and at least they will not refuse to drink beer with foreigners, at their expense, of course.
It is worth noting that these inhabitants of the beer bars, as a rule, speak English tolerably, and since they are young, spontaneous, curious and often quite beautiful, even a simple conversation with them can easily dispel an occasional boredom.
In the event that your interest in girls extends beyond just talking, the girl you like will not be surprised by such a development of events, and everything that happens next will depend solely on you. You can invite a girl to a restaurant or a disco, and generally play love. Or you can just explain to the girl in plain text what exactly you want from her. At the same time, the girl’s desires expressed by you are definitely not shocking, if only for the reason that these girls have seen a lot in their lives, and with a high degree of probability, they have seen much more than you.
If you choose the second option for the development of events, the question of money will naturally arise. There is no general rule here, however, if you do not want to tire the girl with your presence for a long time, the amount will spin around 1000 baht. And if you want to spend the whole night with a girl, then the figure will turn out to be close to 1500 baht.
In the case of the first option, there may not be a conversation about money, however, it does not at all follow from this that a girl can not be given money at all. It must be well understood that girls sit in bars not at all in order to kill time, but in order to earn a living. And the financial side of the relationship with them should be taken seriously, because in a rage, Thai girls can cause a lot of trouble. And it's not a joke. In any case, these troubles, in the form of a scratched face and the likely appearance of the police, will be much more serious than the disputed amount of 1000/1500 baht.
But what about sex for love, you ask, after reading what was written above.
It is quite possible if you can impress a local girl strong enough so that she, at least for a while, forgets about money. And, besides this, openly explain to her that you are not going to give money. And explain it to her before, not after.
What is written here may seem excessively cynical, but in fact, it is not so difficult, when talking with a girl, to find suitable and decent words in order to unobtrusively dot the money issue.
It is worth noting that for many European tourists, the promotion of local girls for free sex is something of a sport. The author of these lines repeatedly had to observe the Anglo-Saxons, bypassing the ranks of girls with phrases like “I’m poor student, blah-blah-blah”, and, characteristically, with a positive result. However, this sport also has its downsides. If a girl is good-looking, she will gladly laugh at such a joke, exchange a couple of phrases with a poor student, and remain sitting in a bar, waiting for a richer student to appear on the horizon. And the one whose external data is not impressive, and to which neither rich nor poor, will agree to such a proposal, will agree to such a proposal.
Concluding this topic, one cannot but say that communication with Thai girls, despite the fact that they are children of a completely different civilization and frankly want to extract money from you, is not much different from communication with girls in the vast expanses of our Motherland. Such is the paradox.
Common terminology and practice. Slang, overhead and taking girls to hotels.
If you intend to translate communication with local girls into a practical plane, it's good to have some idea of the terminology established in their circle and, in general, about the technical side of this whole entertainment process. First, there are a few words and phrases that you will probably hear, and the meaning of which is worth understanding:
short time- this term means that you are not going to take away from the girl more than 2 hours of her precious time.
long time- means that you are going to invite a girl for the whole night.
Bar Fine- girls work in the state of bars, and you can’t just take them away from there; you need to pay the owners of the bar compensation, usually 300 - 500 baht.
Mamasan(less often - Papasan) - the owner (owner) of the bar and at the same time the manager of the girls; it is mamasan who demands bar fine from you, and at the same time, makes you buy beer or cola at a bar, at a price that will not please you.
Guest Fee– not only girls and bars want your money; many hotels also require money for allowing a girl to be taken to the room; as a rule, this amount is several hundred baht.
Another interesting question that cannot be ignored concerns the wire of the girls to the hotel. As a rule, Thai hotels are guest-friendly, exceptions to this rule are extremely rare, and apply only to especially expensive and especially respectable hotels. It is worth noting that if the hotel does not want guests to drive girls, this will be reported in such a way that it will not be possible to miss this information. For example, a poster with relevant content will be pasted on the door of your room.
As mentioned above, many (but not all) Thai hotels practice charging an additional fee for taking girls to the room, usually the amount is several hundred baht. If you fly to Thailand on a tour package, then with a probability of 90% you can expect that your hotel will be one of them. If you book a hotel on your own, then it is not so difficult to choose a hotel where girls can be taken for free. For example, to settle in those of the apartments where the reception works only during the day, and in the evenings there is no one to take money from the guests.
In the same case, if you have reasons why you do not want to take the girl to your room (for example, you suspect that your wife is hiding there with a rolling pin), nothing will prevent you from resolving the issue with the hotel on the spot. In the Bangla Road area there are countless hotels with prices of 500 - 1000 baht per night, and all of these hotels are well known to girls. So you don’t even have to puzzle over this problem: entrust the choice of a hotel to a girl, and she will cope with this task normally.

Possible adverse effects. Funny diseases and crime.
The pleasant, cheerful and life-affirming side of this case was mentioned above, now it's time to talk about the less pleasant side of the issue, about the possible medical and criminal consequences, the probability of which is not equal to zero.
The fact that you should always use a condom can probably not be written here, but what you should definitely write about is that a condom does not at all protect against unpleasant consequences.
And in order to minimize the likelihood of such consequences, you need to understand that all these funny diseases are not only medical, but also social in nature. In practice, this obvious fact is expressed in the fact that the probability of catching an infection from a girl working in an expensive and decent, by Thai standards, institution is quite small. But in the case of a lady working on the street, in some dirty alley, it is very large.
Criminal hardcore, in the form of clonidine, poured into beer, is typical, perhaps, only for Pattaya. In Patong, one of the troubles of this kind can be expected, perhaps, an unforeseen loss of material values, mystically associated with a visit by a girl to your room. As always happens in such cases, both sides are involved in the disappearance of money, mobile phones and laptops. The owners of material values, stunned by the meeting with another civilization, often do not realize the obvious and banal things. For example, that one should not test the honesty of girls with a bundle of dollars thrown to the mercy of fate in a desk drawer. And the girls? What is the demand from them? Even ministers and deputies can easily covet ownerless material values.
In fact, the likelihood of petty, and not very, theft is not so great, since a girl can go into all serious trouble only if she is 100% sure that she will not be found later. And in case you met a girl in a bar where she works, finding her is as easy as shelling pears, as if she left a copy of her documents at the hotel reception, such a copy is always made when paying a guest fee (a fee charged by the hotel for seeing a local girl to the room).
From what has been said above, one very simple and obvious conclusion can be drawn: do not chase cheapness. Girls working in Bangla Road establishments want to get not so stunning, by European standards, money, and trying to find cheaper options somewhere on the street can easily turn into both medical and criminal consequences.
Transvestites, they are katoi, they are ladyboys. How to distinguish a trance from a straight woman.
This topic cannot be ignored, since the entire Internet is full of funny (and not so) stories about encounters with these strange creatures. Reading these stories, it is not always possible to understand how their authors managed to get into such an anecdotal and often unpleasant situation.
The main reason for such adventures, however, lies on the surface and lies in the fact that at the time of their adventures, the authors of all these countless stories were, to put it mildly, drunk.
Otherwise, they would never have confused a boy with a girl, since no plastic surgery can turn a plowman, hunter and lumberjack into an elegant and defenseless creature, with a small, half the size of a man's hand, and an equally small and graceful leg.
The physiological differences between trances and natural girls have probably been listed a thousand times already, but what has been written about quite rarely is that it is very easy to distinguish a trance (katoya) from a real girl by her behavior.
This difference in behavior lies in the fact that transvestites do not have innate female grace, and they play this grace the way actors play on stage. And since acting is a rare thing, they play lousy, constantly overact, look vulgar and overly cheeky, and flaws in their mimicry appear in absolutely everything, and in the manner of speaking, and in the manner of dressing, and in the manner of walking, and in the style of their makeup, etc., etc., etc.
In general, on a sober head, it is not the slightest difficulty to distinguish a trance from a straight woman. However, if you take 3 liters of beer on your chest, and put 700 grams of vodka on top, then the line between a boy and a girl can really become very unsteady, and those stories can happen that most people prefer not to tell about later.
P.S. In the event that you are not sure who is in front of you, trans or straight, pay attention, in addition to demeanor, to height, shoe size and palm size, those physiological data that cannot be corrected with plastic surgery. And if your potential chosen one is not inferior to you in height, behaves excessively cheeky and wears size 44 shoes, think about how joyful further communication with her will be for you;)
Other Entertainment Bangla Road. Discos, go-go bars and massage parlors.
Discos. There are almost a dozen of them in the Bangla Road area, all of them are located in a prominent place, and these establishments are definitely worth a visit.
These discos are decorated not without tricks, the acoustics are expensive everywhere, the sound, as a result, is clear and powerful, the music is mostly in the spirit of MTV. These establishments open at 9 - 10 pm, but the influx of the public in them usually happens closer to midnight.
Discotheques in Patong are not very suitable for dating Thai girls, at least dating in a discotheque is not mainstream for Patong.
Local girls, however, are present at discos, and are clearly divided into two categories: bar-girls, who spent the whole evening in their bar to no avail, and went on to further search for a source of wealth, and ordinary Thais who came to Phuket on vacation , and those who came to the disco just relax and have fun. It is not always possible to distinguish the former from the latter, even with an experienced eye, and it is this fact that complicates acquaintance with local girls, since communication with amateurs and professionals requires both a different approach and a different vocabulary.
However, as a place for dating, Patong discos have a plus of a slightly different property. These places are great for meeting fellow Thais, just in case the Thai girls didn't impress you enough. There are a lot of compatriots in Phuket, they all go to discos with pleasure, so there are always a lot of options for this kind of dating.
Go-go bars. There is not much to write about these establishments. Those go-go bars that are located on Bangla Road are an unfortunate parody of Pattaya establishments, and if you pass by them, then you will lose absolutely nothing in your life.
Massage parlors. In Patong, there is one salon of the same Thai massage. This establishment is called Christin Massage, and is a huge pink building located on Second Road (Thanon Ratuthit Songroipi Road), south of its intersection with Bangla Road.
It should be noted that the golden years of Thai (not wellness) massage are long gone, and at the moment Thailand is too rich and prosperous country for young and beautiful girls to agree to work in institutions like Christin Massage, which is essentially a job. on the sex line. In practice, the above is expressed in the fact that the ladies working in Christin Massage are frankly not young, and many of them are at such a venerable age that it is just right for them to nurse their grandchildren.
P.S. What was written above was relevant even ten years ago, and since there was no staff rotation in Christin Massage, today we can state that local priestesses of love are distinguished by simply phenomenal longevity.

To understand the attitude of Thais towards the behavior of girls who do not deny themselves the small joys of life, it is worth making a short historical digression.
To begin with, it is worth saying that Thai society has never known taboos and prohibitions on sexual activity, the very taboos that are so characteristic of Abrahamic religions.
The local religion, unlike the religions dominating in Europe, has always been liberal, tolerant and sympathetic to all aspects of human nature.
And the relationship of the sexes in Thailand has always been regulated by the most general religious and ethical principle, namely: no matter what a person does, his actions should not harm other people.
And since the relationship between girls and their, as they are now called, boyfriends, has always suited both sides, neither society, nor family, nor state and religious structures have ever interfered in these relations.
It is worth adding that Thailand has bypassed both the dubious views of medieval Europe, which revered virginity with amazing zeal, and the ideas of European totalitarianism of the 20th century, which sought to control a person’s actions, including through control of his sexuality.
The same worldview ideas that have been formed within Thai society itself are best conveyed by two very famous Thai words: “sanuk” and “sabai”. Without going into the intricacies of translation, the meaning of these words can be explained as follows: the sun is shining - sanuk, a beautiful girl is sitting nearby - sabai, good music is playing - sanuk, cold beer is flowing like a river - sabai, and so on, the list can be continued indefinitely.
In practice, the love of Thais for sanuk and sabai has led to the fact that they have learned to masterfully derive pleasure from the current moment of life, and their liberal view of the world has led to the fact that they do not interfere with enjoying life for others, and never climb into someone else's life if no one asks them to.
How everything that happens on Bangla Road looks in the eyes of the girls working there
The girls look at their work is simple and unpretentious. Sitting in the bars of Bangla Road, they are, paradoxically, looking for their happiness.
What constitutes, in their understanding, happiness, it will not be possible to explain in a couple of paragraphs, but it is easy to explain what, in their view, is not happiness.
Firstly, it is not happiness for them to work in a 7/11 store with a salary of 8-10 thousand baht per month. Secondly, and perhaps even firstly, happiness for them is not working in the rice field, in their native province of Isan, a job in which at 30 years old you can become an old woman, and at 40 years old you can go on a date with the Buddha .
In general, speaking bluntly, girls treat their work the way they treat any other, fairly well-paid job, which has its pluses and minuses.
These disadvantages are quite obvious, but it is worth mentioning the advantages especially, since they will surely surprise many readers of this text. These pluses are not so much that you can receive generous tips and live in a resort without any special worries, but that you can most likely find yourself a rich husband in this job. And it's not a joke.
Married couples consisting of a Thai and a foreigner (usually a European) are not uncommon in Thailand, and to understand the scale of this phenomenon, it is enough to say that in the province of Isan alone, more than 100,000 foreigners are registered on family visas (read - non-poor Europeans) .
So, the story of the famous film "Pretty Woman", with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in the lead roles, for the girls sitting in the bars of Bangla Road, is not a fairy tale at all. For them, this is a very real prospect for the development of events, especially if the girl is moderately smart, not absurd, and beautiful enough to arouse the interest of wealthy European playboys.
How good is the nightlife of Patong compared to the nightlife of Bangkok and Pattaya
Both as a center for nightlife and as a center for sex tourism, Patong has never claimed the top spot in Thailand.
To tell the truth, in the case of Patong, this third place could never really be considered a prize, because against the background of Bangkok and Pattaya, Patong always looked like nothing more than a second league.
And this applied to all aspects of nightlife: the number, size and variety of places of entertainment; the number and appearance of local girls; and absolutely everything else.
So, the nightlife of Patong made a really strong impression on tourists only in one case, if they had not yet seen the nightlife of Bangkok and Pattaya.
The above was true even many years ago, in the best years for Patong, which, sadly, have long been left behind. At the moment, the nightlife in Patong is half empty, and this is not due to the decline or collapse of the Thai entertainment industry, but to the fact that in recent years the contingent of people who come to Phuket has changed a lot.
Young, active, and adventurous people now bypass Phuket, and are visited mainly by couples over the age of 40, who come to Phuket, mostly on tourist packages. This public is not inclined to participate in nightlife, and if it appears on Bangla Road, it is only to look at everything that happens from the side, as they look from the side at the life of animals in the zoo.
As a result, the girls who worked in the bars of Bangla Road, Patong are leaving, the bars themselves are half empty, and at the moment (season 2019) Patong, unlike Bangkok and Pattaya, is already difficult to recommend as a place suitable for having fun and spend your time adventurous.
