Windmill is a well known go go bar in Pattaya that bills itself as “Pattaya’s Naughtiest Agogo.” With so many go go bars in Pattaya it is easy for one place to blend in with another. Windmill is in no real danger of that. The bar sets itself apart from the dozens of other go go bars in the city in a number of ways.
The naughtiness is of course a key factor. Mainly that means that there are fully nude dancers, lesbian and bath shows, and a lot of interaction between staff and customers. What is “naughty” is ultimately subjective. But it would probably be difficult for any other go go bar in Pattaya to argue that it offers more in terms of mileage than Windmill.
Location
Windmill is commonly described as a Walking Street Agogo. Walking Street is of course the most famous road in Pattaya. It is lined from one end to the other with go go bars. Some of the most interesting go go bars are actually located off of Walking Street however. That includes Windmill.
Windmill can easily be accessed from Walking Street on foot as it is only a few steps away. However, it is actually located on a side street called Soi Diamond. Soi Diamond can also be accessed from Second Road and this route is often preferred by those seeking to avoid the crowds.
The Windmill agogo is easily found thanks to its location. There are many large signs on the outside of the bar as well as staff that work the front. On top of that there are signs on Walking Street pointing the way to Windmill. Those can blend in with all of the sites and sounds of the street but they are complimented by staff who stand on Walking Street holding signs and calling out to customers.
Surely this all helps people find Windmill. Even in this age of increasing reliance on smart phones when people can just pull up a location on Google maps having personal guides can only help. Walking Street is often described as a circus and it is easy to miss things when trying to get down the street. Soi Diamond on the other hand is quiet but nondescript. In any event the bar never seems to lack for customers. A majority of the seats downstairs remained filled throughout most nights.
Layout and service
The ground floor of Windmill has a lot of room but you cannot always tell. That is because the place absolutely fills up with people nearly every night. Even though the place always seems to be full it never feels crowded unlike some nearby bars like Baccara. The fun atmosphere certainly has a lot to do with that. Windmill is also billed as “the friendliest bar in Pattaya” and with good reason.
There is a large stage in the middle of the floor. Several women dance there wearing nothing but skirts. At the end of the stage a few are usually fully nude and interacting with themselves and customers. On the far right there of the room there is a large tub where two or women bath each other and also interact with customers.
There is another flat stage area where two dancers play with each other in the buff. In addition there are several small stages all around where the women dance in their short skirts. Finally there are plenty of others just working the floor or sitting with or on customers.
Windmill gets so busy that it actually expanded to add an extra floor. A second level above the ground floor is accessed via a flight of stairs in the back corner. The top floor is laid out with a stage in the middle filled with the same kinds of women doing the same kinds of things.
The second floor can get just as busy as the ground level. Indeed it often does. Customers therefor chose which level to visit based on their own taste. Things do not necessarily get more “naughty” or “friendly” on either level. It’s all more or less the same. The added level just added space for additional ladies and clients to entertain.
Staff and prices
There are lots of ladies working as wait staff in Windmill. It is never difficult to track one down to make a drink order. Even when Windmill is filled with customers there are plenty of waitresses around. They are hard working and attentive. In a few cases they are even multilingual. Of course they are not the main draw.
Customers visit Windmill for the dancers. And there are many of them. On any given night there may be close to one hundred dancers at Windmill in various states of undress. They come from all over Thailand and vary in looks. There are gorgeous twenty year olds with fit unmarked bodies. There are also chubby gals and older ladies with tattoos. Looks are no indication of service but most of the ladies seem to get along quite well with customers.
Their obvious motivation is money. But at Windmill that is not always so obvious. Still the fact remains that dancers work this and any other bar to make money. At Windmill they do that through lady drink commissions, tips and direct compensation from customers.
Lady drinks at Windmill are 170 Baht each. Customers who buy them usually spend some time interacting with the ladies. It is pretty common to see petting going on. Often time things get even more friendly than that. This is why Windmill is often referred to as a “hands on” bar.
The barfine at Windmill is 1000 Baht short time and 1500 Baht long time. The difference being that ladies are expected to return to the bar before closing if they only go out for a “short time”. The service providers seem willing to leave the bar with most customers. They expect payments of between 1500 to 3000 Baht for their time.
Conclusion
Advertising is often based on a very creative interpretation of fact. That is not the case with the promotion of Windmill. Some may argue that there are naughtier or friendlier venues in Thailand’s sin city. But few could argue that Windmill is not very friendly, very naughty, or both. While ultimately it all a matter of perspective the truth is that there are not many places where customers get more bang for their buck in terms of in bar activity.
Windmill has been open for years. It has become so popular that the place has even expanded. The women and the atmosphere have a lot to do with that. The very approachable Western manager stationed near the door at all times certainly contributes quite a bit too. Windmill is a Pattaya institution for good reason. Four stars.

Of all the places in the world I miss this one the most. I will never forget getting a public header over by the tub while two taut Thai women played hide the ice cube in front of the crowd. It seems like a lifetime.
Thanks for the comment Arch. Cheers.
I had been there twice last month. Upstairs is closed during covid season. Around 50-60ladies working, depend on the day, I know that because I rang the bell both times for the girls+staff and 69 and I think 59xsaid cheers after that haha. LD is I think 160 these days, because 2nd time the waitress calculated me 9440 for the drinks(59×160 is exactly 9440) but the manager came there and said 9000 is fine :-) And after first visit they already gave me 10% discount all the time. I must say this is a really nice place, girls are friendly as the staff/managers. Nobody is pushing you for buying LD. But I must say Windmill is not my favourite agogo, for me it’s little bit too naughty. I am maybe more shy guy haha and the girls are mostly mediocre there. U can see these types of girls everywhere in Thailand and if you are lucky enough you can have free sex easily, therefore I cannot barfine girls in Windmill. I had seen only one hot girl there, forget her name but she was never dancing and had other clothes than the girls and staff but u can barfine her if she likes you :-)
I spent my nights mostly in Pin-Up, there you can find many stunners…
Thanks for the detailed report about Windmill in it’s current state. It is interesting. This seems to be a place people either hate or love. I may get around to writing about Pin Up go go some day. I hope you will comment again. Cheers.
I had the privilege of visiting this fine establishment last night, and it is operating in full effect as described. The women may not be more beautiful than in other Go-Go’s nearby, but I saw plenty of hotties and took my time deciding on a favourite to purchase a drink. It is indeed a very friendly bar and great spot for hands on fun and interaction. Will definitely be back.
Thanks for the comment Ben. Windmill is currently operating in the old Annabells while the original building is refurbished. But as you said things are generally the same as they always were in terms of service. Cheers.
Been to the Windmill many times in 2015/16/17 fantastic place extremely friendly staff great atmosphere ✌️ Looking to come back to Pattaya this year and will visit again.
One question are Farang women allowed into the windmill ? Have a female friend who would like to see it.
Hi Steve. I have seen farang ladies inside and even on stage Windmill. Cheers.
First-time visitor to Thailand, Pattaya and Windmill. Can confirm it was very friendly and naughty. On the second level there was one dancer who encouraged me to get very hands-on, top and bottom, and dared me to go down on her, right there on the couch — maybe? I’m not great at reading signals and she may’ve been teasing, but was definitely angling for short-time. There has been inflation since Rockit’s initial 2019 report: lady drinks are now 260 baht. (Now that I comment here, two weeks later, I’m inclined to doubt my memory except the price was clearly posted, I monitored my incremental bill, and I took notes immediately after my visit and while sober.)
Earlier that night:
Late September, a Tuesday, 11:00 pm. Clusters of tout-girls stationed not just outside the club, but along the length of Soi Diamond. I arrive, shown to a couch, and my initial drink order taken (soft drinks are 150 baht). There are 30-some dancers, outnumbering patrons 4-to-1. After a few minutes of eye candy I confirm with a server that I can move upstairs if I take my bill-cup. There I find circulating servers, mamasan(?) in red cheongsam, and floor manager(?) in business suit. My regular server has a nametag “AOM 3” who, I guess, is an early-hire dancer who has shifted roles. I’m approached by “Cookie,” with glasses and a above-average endowment – very anime /meganeko/. She leaves for her dance-shift and Aom motions over a pair of replacements who she indicates are new; they are definitely still shy, and Aom has to encourage them to snuggle up to me. There’s a lap-dance underway alongside the shower-tub.
Dancers generally young, cute, with limited ink and wearing the “sexy schoolgirl” outfit seen above (with practical sneakers! I approve). The two levels have similar layouts (bar, seating, stage with poles, two stages for lesbian shows) but the upper additionally has a shower-tub. Dancers cycle between couch, poles, lez and shower. Performances are desultory: that is, lez show is “we’re both naked, where do we put our limbs while we jiggle in proximity?” and the shower show is “let’s stand around the showerhead and avoid getting wet.” Sauntering between sections while towelling off is kind of endearing. Lighting is bright and even, so you get a good look at the girls (and other patrons). The music is loud, but not painful or an obstacle to chatting. I’m not certain of some of my interactions due to the staff’s broken English.
The fourth dancer who shows up, as described above, is definitely *not* shy. I end up buying several rounds of lady drinks for the dancers, plus Aom and the manager. Because the pair had been called on-stage before they had finished their lady drinks, I am encouraged to stick around until they can return. Everybody seems disappointed that I don’t want to barfine anyone (just not in my plans for tonight). When I finally insist on taking my leave and pay my bill in cash, after the change arrives on its tray, Aom and the manager persuade me to leave another 100-baht nonspecific tip.
At one point, another patron arrives and throws bills in the air, causing much squealing and grabbing. I’m frankly surprised none of the girls knock skulls.
Thanks for the very detailed report Bob. It is appreciated! I am not surprised that prices have gone up. That seems to be true across the board. Cheers.
I revisited this awesome place a few weeks ago and discovered that there are now 2 Windmill bars right across the street from each other. They both have a top floor area as well. So now there are basically 4 Windmill bar areas to explore and enjoy. I find this place is perfect for enjoying in bar action with hands on fun, whilst recharging from a daytime session. Having said that, I enjoyed the company of Kaew in Windmill #1 enough, that I barfined her and had one of the most memorable nights of my holiday. Personally, I don’t mind her tattoos and find them quite tasteful and hot. After purchasing her a drink and getting intimate, it was her turn to play in the shower, so she invited me to sit in that area to continue our play. I got to lather her up and play with her more which led to the decision to barfine. In my humble opinion the Windmill bars are close to the only reason to bother with the Walking Street area. My other favoured Go Go bars in Pattaya are in the LK Metro area (Dolls LK, Kink & Heaven Above). Those bars all have similarities to Windmill in my recent experience. Thank you for the amazing website Rockit, You’re a bloody legend! Cheers
Thanks for the detailed report Ben John. I haven’t reviewed Heaven Above in its new location. But I have covered the other places. Cheers!
