There are many go go bars in Pattaya. Walking Street and the surrounding area is home to what may be the most famous concentration of go go bars in the world. The Dollhouse just off of Walking Street is one of the best go go bars in the area at least in terms of what is on display.
It easy to get lost in the crowd of agogos in Pattaya. Especially when new bars open all the time as old places fade into the darkness. There is always a bar for sale and money to be made. So things will probably continue this way for sometime. I just do my best to navigate the ever changing field of bars and report on my findings here.
The Dollhouse Pattaya
The Dollhouse is located near the intersection of Soi 14 and Soi 15 a few steps away from Walking Street. Soi 14 and 15 actually cross over each other in the sort of road layout that is maybe more common in Thailand than anywhere else. The Dollhouse is in the space where they meet. So it is actually possible to enter the bar from either street.
The ground floor of the bar houses the main Dollhouse go go bar. It is a very spacious spot. There is an elevated stage area with some poles and seats with plenty of room between them. The place is almost cavernous and even though there are always dancers around it can almost look empty at times. But the reason for that is probably because the most action actually takes place upstairs in an area called The Dollhouse XXX.
The Dollhouse XXX Lounge
There is a clearly marked staircase inside of The Dollhouse that leads to the lounge upstairs. It is next to one of the entrances so it is possible to simply walk inside and straight up the XXX Lounge. Many people do exactly that and for good reason.
Years ago the go go bars could be pretty wild places. Things have slowed down and become a lot tamer in most bars. But there are still some like The Windmill where things are a lot like they used to be. The lounge upstairs at The Dollhouse also fits in that old school style category.
That is not to say that the Lounge is old by any means. It is one of the better designed and furnished go go bars in Pattaya. It is spacious with soft booth style seats lining the walls. There are multiple raised stages with poles. Each stage has more seats around it. The main draw isn’t the design however. It is the women.
The gals upstairs in The Lounge dance in the nude. And unlike some of the other nude bars around the women dancing in the Lounge are almost universally hot. There always seems to be a handful of attractive women with very nice bodies working the poles. Others can be found around the lounge spending time with customers. Things can always change from one day to the next. And beauty is ultimately in the eye of the beholder. But even my experienced eyes have been surprised at some of the bodies on show upstairs in the Dollhouse.
The Dollhouse doesn’t have the lowest prices in Pattaya by any means. But with a draft beer going for 110 Baht ($3.65 USD) the rates aren’t exactly out of control either. The barfines at The Dollhouse range from 800 to 1500 Baht ($26 – 50 USD) depending on the lady. Of course go go bars are not really cheap places. They haven’t been for some time. But they are a unique type of venue that remains popular. It is not difficult to see why. Especially when they’re filled with sexy gals in the buff. Three-and-a-half stars.
