In Soi Cowboy, Go Go Bars, discos and nightclubs welcome guests from 7:00 pm to 2:30 am. The entrance is free, the price range of a drink varies from 100 to 200 Baht (depending on each bar). Soi Cowboy is fairly straightforward, without traps or scams. The staff might sit next to you and serve a drink but rarely push you to order. Most Go-Go Bars follow the popular pattern in Thailand: alcoholic drinks available and women in bikinis on the stage. There is usually a UV-lit central stage surrounded by lines of multi-tiered seats. Under the neon lights and loud music, guests can indulge themselves in the whirling, vibrant space and have fun with the enchanting sexy dance of the skillful dancers.

Attracted by the beautiful and flashy space, Kiss A-Go-Go is one of the top-rated yet highest priced bars in the Soi Cowboy red-light district. The prices listed in front of the entrance are 180 baht/glass of beer and 110 baht/draft beer. If tourists want to come here and have fun without worrying about how much you can afford to pay for such a fee, "Happy Hours" (7:00 pm - 8:30 pm) is the ideal time to go. You will get to admire the hot performance of 8 beautiful girls on the multi-level stage while relaxing on the very comfortable red sofas. Nice music and good service will make tourists feel like on heaven. The first impression when you step into the hall of Sahara A-Go-Go is that space here is filled with shimmering lights and decorative patterns with higher quality than any other bars in Soi Cowboy. Entering deep into the main room, looking up at the bright multi-level stage from the floor, you will see about 8 to 10 girls reeling in extremely erotic dance. As a sister bar with Kiss A Go-Go and very good service quality, the price here is also quite high. However, “Happy Hours” is also applied to this bar.
