Ladyboy Hotspot Areas in Pattaya
Pattaya's ladyboy scene is spread across five distinct areas, each with a different vibe, price range, and type of venue. Knowing which area to visit saves time and money - from Pattaya's red light district on Walking Street to the Soi Buakhao ladyboy hub. Here's where to find ladyboys in Pattaya by area.
📍 Best Overall
Soi Buakhao & LK Metro
Home to Katoeys Are Us Pattaya (#1 ladyboy GoGo bar, moved to new location from Soi Diamond in 2025), Peachy Lily Pattaya (ex-Pandoras, LK Metro), Bon Bar, and Fantasy Lounge. Soi Buakhao ladyboy bars are the center of Pattaya's ladyboy-focused transgender scene. LK Metro ladyboy options like Peachy Lily offer cheaper drinks than Walking Street. Prices are 20–30% lower overall. Soi Buakhao's stretch near Tree Town, Soi Made in Thailand, and nearby Action Street has the highest concentration of transgender-friendly venues - the cheapest ladyboy bar area in Pattaya.
📍 Premium Scene
Walking Street & Soi Diamond
True Color Pattaya (new ladyboy GoGo on Soi Diamond, opened 2025), plus Walking Street ladyboy freelancers near Linda Bar and Marine Disco after midnight. My Way Bar is the most famous Walking Street ladyboy bar and pick-up spot. The most beautiful and passable ladyboys tend to hang out here because of higher tourist foot traffic and premium pricing. This is Pattaya's main red light district for adult entertainment.
📍 Old-School Classic
Soi 13/1 (Soi Yamato)
Stringfellows Pattaya (now permanently closed) was the main ladyboy venue on this quiet side street off Beach Road. Stringfellows was a small, intimate ladyboy GoGo bar with wild atmosphere and hands-on dancers. This area is now quieter for ladyboy options - check Soi Buakhao or Walking Street instead.
📍 Budget Short Time
Soi 6/1
The back alley of Soi 6 is Pattaya's famous ladyboy street. Soi 6 ladyboy bars include Solo Club and Thai Rose on main Soi 6. Expect barfines of 400–500 baht and short time from 1,000–1,500 baht - the cheapest ladyboy bar option in Pattaya for short-time encounters. Many ladyboys here are less passable than those on Walking Street, with a mix of pre-op and post-op transgender women.
📍 LGBTQ+ Entertainment
BoyzTown (Soi 13/4)
BoyzTown Pattaya ladyboy entertainment includes Castro Show Bar with nightly ladyboy cabaret - choreographed dance routines and lip-sync shows. Candy Bar mixes ladyboy and male dancers. More about the show than the business side - great for first-timers wanting ladyboy culture without pressure. Mixed audience welcome.

Is it safe to be with a ladyboy in Pattaya?
Ladyboys at established bars are accountable to management and generally safe. Main risk is with street freelancers - theft and scams more common late at night. Best practices: use protection, agree on price before, pay after session, keep valuables locked, avoid freelancers while heavily intoxicated. Bar girls are generally safer than freelancers because the bar has records.
