A lot of people ask me if Nana Bangkok is better than Soi Cowboy or vice versa. I generally know the answer but everyone knows that I’m partial to some GoGo bars in Bangkok. So, I’m going to take a while to explain which Bangkok Red Light District you should go to so that you know where to go on your next trip.
Both Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy are adult playgrounds where girls are available to spend time with you. These areas are 2 of 3 Bangkok’s famous nightlife destinations. The other one is Patpong Bangkok but I don’t talk about that area much. Soi Cowboy and Nana Bangkok are on two separate ends of the Sukhumvit area. This means that they are 15 minutes apart from each other. You can take a cab if you don’t like the Bangkok heat and reach faster. Check out the map I’ve linked underneath as it should help you understand how far these two nightspots are from each other.

Nana Plaza Bangkok Has Hot Girls
Let’s talk about Soi Nana or Soi 4 otherwise popularly known as Nana Plaza. This is probably the most popular destination for mongers coming to Thailand. It’s equivalent to walking street in Pattaya but has a more corporate vibe. There are GoGo Bars spread across 3 floors of the entertainment plaza and NEP, popularly known as Nana Entertainment Plaza is filled with girls everywhere.
3 Floors inside Nana Bangkok
It’s like an atrium surrounded by strip bars where girls will try to lure you in. There is a beer bar in the middle of the atrium where you can catch a breath and grab a couple of drinks too. NEP is surrounded by some really popular beer bars such as Big Dogs and Hilary and Hooters. These are great places to sit, have a beer, get warmed up and then hit the the GoGo Bars.

On the other side of Sukhumvit, there is another nightspot filled it girls. It’s more popular with the locals and with punters that have lived in Bangkok for long. A lot of Tuk Tuk drivers will try to entice you to check out Soi Cowboy too. Soi Cowboy is a lane of GoGo bars that are lined with girls on both sides. There are some really popular bars here which have been showcased in movies too.
GoGo Bar Girls in Soi Cowboy
There are very few beer bars here but there’s always space to find a drink with a girl. The most popular GoGo bars here are Baccara and Tilac. They are totally worth checking out. The bars at Soi Cowboy are spacious compared to Nana Plaza, but I could be wrong. I have not seen them all.
The choice of freelancers here if far less compared to Nana but in no manner there are a small quantity. There are girls trying to get your attention everywhere. Soi Cowboy works more like an independent nightlife area unlike Nana which seems more organized. The street food options at Soi Cowboy are far less too.

So, Which Is Better?
So, the next time you land in Bangkok, visit both. You will not be dissapointed. They are pretty close to each other and completely worth checking out. The girls in both areas are hot and you won’t be disappointed. There is no difference in the prices too. Both areas have freelancers with whom you can negotiate a price. The GoGo Bars have a similar rate card too. The only difference you will find is the barfine expenses. But you can negotiate that too.
