Thermae Bar Bangkok

Key Takeaways

The short version, in 5 points.

  1. On a first visit to Thermae Bar all the girls were outside because of the non-alcoholic holidays, and the cafe was closed.
  2. Inside Thermae Cafe is one huge room with way more girls than guys, and a meat-market atmosphere.
  3. Of everything on a first Bangkok trip, Thermae was the best freelancing hub.
  4. The oily massage at 101 Premier disappointed: the girl was nice but the chemistry was not there.
  5. If you are looking for hotties on Soi 4, they seem to stand in front of Hooters.

After taking my friend to Thermae Bar, I made a 2nd trip out alone and can confirm now that my first trip was an anomaly. On that first visit, all the girls were outside due to the non-alcoholic holidays, and Thermae Cafe was closed; of course, that didn't stop the girls from freelancing outside; hence the huge crowd.

Second Visit to Thermae Bar Bangkok

On this 2nd visit, I actually saw the inside of Thermae Cafe for the first time. It had this feeling of a 'meat-market'-type of atmosphere. The girls were everywhere in that one huge big room. The ratio was definitely way more girls than guys. I think that if you're not able to find someone that meets your specification for attractiveness at this place, then there's a possibility that maybe Asian girls are not your type. I have yet to explore all the areas in the city. But at the moment, I would say that (so far since I've been here) this is probably the best freelancing hub in Bangkok.

Well, so far since I've mongered in Bangkok for the first time, I've managed to check out 2 gogo bars at Nana, an oily massage place, a BJ bar, and this Thermae Cafe.

Other Options

The gogo bars were OK; I'll check out some more. The oily massage (101 Premier) was disappointing; the girl was attractive and she was actually a nice girl but the chemistry wasn't there. She might hit it off with someone else but I just didn't click with her. I'll have to try that place again since there seemed to be some more attractive girls there.

Other observations; seems like if you're looking for some hotties on Soi 4, they seem to be standing in front of Hooters.

My Thermae Bar Verdict

Out of all the experiences I had, I think Thermae Bar was a really great deal. The GoGo Bars were nothing in comparison. Don't get me started on the Oily Massage. But I have shared reviews on them if you want to check them out.

There are some pictures shared on Instagram too if you want to see what these girls look like. Better still, check out the video on Youtube.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Thermae Bar the Best Freelancer Spot in Bangkok?

It is the best freelancing hub I have found so far. I have yet to explore all the areas in the city, so that is a view from one trip. Out of everything I did, I thought Thermae Bar was a really great deal, far better than the go-go bars.

What Is Thermae Cafe Like Inside?

It has a meat-market atmosphere. The girls are everywhere in one huge, big room, and the ratio is definitely way more girls than guys. I saw the inside on my second visit. If you cannot find someone who meets your specification here, Asian girls may simply not be your type.

Why Was Thermae Bar So Crowded Outside on My First Visit?

On my first visit all the girls were outside because of the non-alcoholic holidays, and Thermae Cafe was closed. That did not stop the girls freelancing outside, hence the huge crowd. The second visit, alone, showed me that the first one was an anomaly.

Are There More Girls Than Guys at Thermae Cafe?

Yes. When I went inside on my second visit, the ratio was definitely way more girls than guys, with the girls spread through one huge room. That gives you plenty of choice, so take your time and do a lap or two before you approach anyone.

Is Thermae Bar Better Than the Go-Go Bars in Bangkok?

For me, yes. I checked out two go-go bars at Nana and they were OK, but the go-go bars were nothing in comparison to Thermae Bar. That is one punter's view from my first trip, so visit a bar or two yourself and compare.

Where Do Freelancers Stand on Soi 4 in Bangkok?

If you are looking for hotties on Soi 4, they seem to be standing in front of Hooters. That is just what I noticed, and it can change from night to night. Agree the price and services before you go anywhere with a girl you meet on the street.

Is the Oily Massage at 101 Premier Worth It?

It was disappointing for me. The girl was attractive and a nice girl, but the chemistry was not there. She might hit it off with someone else. There seemed to be some more attractive girls there, so I plan to try that place again and look at the lineup first.

What Did I Do on My First Monger Trip in Bangkok?

By my second visit to Thermae I had checked out 2 go-go bars at Nana, an oily massage place, a BJ bar and Thermae Cafe. The go-go bars were OK, the oily massage disappointed, and Thermae was a really great deal. Your first trip will be different, so plan a few options.

Can I See What the Girls at Thermae Look Like Before I Go?

Yes. I shared some pictures on Instagram, and there is a video on YouTube if you want to see what the girls look like. It is a guide only, because the crowd changes daily. Photos can be flattering, so judge in person before you agree a price.
