Thai Freelancers
They stand on the street corners. In front of hotels. Hang out in bars, indoors and outdoors. Thai freelancers are found close to all of the red light districts in Bangkok. But most are available around the Nana red light districts. And that's where we're going to focus on.
Thai freelancers represent a good percentage of sex workers in the industry. They also represent a good value for budget travelers.
With a Thai freelancer you never worry about buying drinks for yourself or a bar girl. And Thai freelancers charge at least 500THB to 1000THB less than their go go bar girl counterparts. The savings can be considerable especially since you won't have to pay bar fines, which can really add up if you want a companion to stay with you for a longer period.

Go to Nana Red Light District to Find the Most Freelancers
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find Thai Freelancers in Nana red light district?
First I would head to the parking lot at the Nana Hotel which is conveniently a girl friendly hotel. You'll find the least amount during the afternoon time so it's best to get there starting around 9pm to find the most ladies. When 1am - 2am rolls along you'll find even more ladies outside because that's when the go go bars in Nana Entertainment Plaza closes. So you'll find plenty of go go bar girls lining streets during that time looking to make some extra Baht. If you're looking for a different flavor of lady freelancers check out the Rajah Hotel's coffee shop. Be prepared to pay 2500THB for short time. You can also head to the Bus Stop which is along Sukhumvit Soi 5 to Soi 7. There you will find a mix of Africans, Thais and a small group of ladyboys. Then there's always Thermae Bar and Coffee located in the basement of the Ruamchitt Hotel (girl friendly of course) between Sukhumvit Soi 15 and 17. Though the Ruamchitt is quite run down so I recommend a better and newer girl friendly hotel called Paradiso Suites that is just across Sukhumvit road. Entrance to Thermae Bar is free. Finally I recommend taking a look at Climax Club (formerly Spice Club) in the parking basement of another girl friendly hotel called the Ambassador. Last I checked entrance to Climax club is 300THB which includes 2 drink tickets and Thai ladies enter free. |

Is it safe to pick up a freelancer?
That's a tricky question and to be quite honest taking any stranger who is not working in a bar may be a concern. However, if you stay at a girl friendly hotel then you at least have some sort of protection since the hotel requires your companion to leave an I.D. card. In most cases the I.D. will only be returned when you are present with your companion or a phone call is made to your room to make sure there are no problems.
When it comes to knowing if the freelancer you choose to bring back to your room has a sexually transmitted disease or not is always the risk you take. Remember, these ladies work on their own and there's no one around to check for quality assurance compared to a go go bar, oily massage parlor or soapy massage parlor.
Any tips on negotiating with a freelancer?
Of course. If you see someone you like but don't want to pay full price than offer her/him/ladyboy what you can afford. Don't make the offer too low of course because you will just be insulting them. Then give them your mobile number and tell them to give you a call if they can't find a customer. This trick particularly works near or in the beginning of the month, which is the time to pay an apartment rent. Your patience will be rewarded with extra Baht in your pocket.
Where are the short time hotels?
Since most of the short time hotels are near Nana Entertainment Plaza most freelancers will take you there. Short time hotels cost 300THB per hour, though prices might be increasing soon. Which is why I suggest staying at a guest friendly hotel along Sukhumvit Road.
