The range of venues is as varied as the variety of ladyboys you can find there and includes everything from cool and chill bars where staff are mostly ladyboys to clubs strip and go-go.

There are specific streets in Pattaya that are almost exclusively for transgender people including Soi 6/1 and Soi 13/1 (also known as Soi Yamata) off Beach Road as well as a short stretch of Soi Buakhao, near Soi LK Metro . The list of 10 Ladyboy bars in Pattaya below offers the most popular choices according to travellers' reviews.

As an institution among the ladyboys of Pattaya, Lita Bar is not particularly big or loud, but is still the best of its kind in the city.

Sometimes referred to as “Hot Tuna” because it’s right next to the rock bar with that name, this little ladyboy bar on Walking Street looks like every other bar among its hundreds of varieties, but is known as one of the best ladyboy bars.

Unlike many other bars that carry the “go – go” title, Pook is wide open with no walls or front doors, making it one of the least discreet bars on our list. However, its staff of 30 makes it one of the most popular spots on a street with a lot of competition. The bar also has four televisions and three pool tables and is known for its big parties.

Obsessions is not only part of the neighboring Kitten (non-ladies) Club, but is also connected to the nearby Penthouse Hotel.
