Nana Red Light District
Entrance to NEP on Sukhumvit Soi 4
Nana is located right in the heart of Sukhumvit District, a popular commercial business zone. It's a quick walking distance to Soi Cowboy Red Light District on Sukhumvit road and just a 20 minute BTS train ride to Patpong. Which is one of the main reasons why I always suggest visitors should stay in this area.
I like referring to Nana Red Light District as the center of naughty nightlife activities in Bangkok. It's practically the largest of the 3 red light districts because it is spread out with more places to meet Thai Freelancers.
But the heart of activity within Nana is a hard to miss tiny 3 story building with and open courtyard filled with all manners of establishments to get wasted and laid. Its name is Nana Entertainment Plaza.
Since NEP is the place tourist go to get some pay for play action with a plethora of guest friendly hotels surrounding the location you'll see many Thai freelancers hanging around, especially outside of the Nana Hotel within the parking lot and hotel signage on Soi 4. Incidentally Nana Hotel is a guest friendly hotel and one of the few properties that allows you to bring more than 1 lady, ladyboy or gay back to a guest room without paying joiner fees.
There are scores of Thai ladies for hire up and down Sukhumvit Soi 4 and in any case you can read more about them in the Thai Freelancer section.

Are the Ladies at Nana More Beautiful?
Since Nana red light district is more widespread, there are more pay for play ladies in the surrounding area. Which logically indicates that it is more likely you will find a lady, ladyboy or gay that you find attractive. There are much more Thai freelancers in Nana than compared to Patpong or Soi Cowboy. You'll find them on certain locations near NEP and many more sitting around beer bars.
How much do go go bar girls charge?
How many times will a bar girl let me finish?
This is possibly one of the most popularly asked question. For example if you pay for short time you would expect the full hour and ejaculate as many times as you can handle. Well, you can't. That is unless your paid companion agrees, which is highly unlikely. In general the ladies, ladyboys and men working in the sex industry will allow you to cum once for short time and twice for long time. But to avoid any complications it is best to speak with your companion and agree on what you are allowed to do before you even think about paying that bar fine.
Where and how much are short time rooms in Nana?
There are 3 short time hotels within NEP. Rooms for rent here cost 300 THB per hour. You can see them on the maps above. In my humble opinion, these rooms are not worth the money. Most of the rooms are not cleaned properly and I'm speaking from experience. I've seen ladies toss spent condoms on the bare floor. And most take a piss in the shower drain especially customers. My biggest advice is to stay in a girl friendly hotel such as the ones listed below. After all, why pay 300THB for a short time room, when your own hotel room is perfectly fine?
If I had only 1 day in NEP, which go go bar should I go to?
A few names of the most popular go go bars I recommend are:
Ladyboys in Nana - Where do I look for them?
The ladyboy play for pay scene in this area is quite large. There are 5 ladyboy go go bars in NEP alone with Carnival being the newest. All of the ladyboys inside the go go bars of NEP are a mix of pre-operations and post-operations. Then there are ladyboy freelancers hanging outside the entrance of NEP, along Sukhumvit Soi outside the bars as well as between Sukhumvit Soi 5 through Soi 7. You can find out more information about this in the Thai Freelance section.
