The entrance to Walking Street is free. One can walk through the entire entertainment zone, see the lighting, hear the music, and look around all of it without having to pay for anything. Also, most of the beer bars and go-go bars do not charge an entrance fee; rather, it is expected that one should buy a drink after seating. Night clubs may have an entrance fee for some events. In most cases, the entrance fee ranges between free and ฿500, but sometimes there might be expensive events.

Prices for Beer and Drinks on Walking Street

Soft drinks and bottled water are priced something like ฿60 – ฿150.

In the simplest estimate, four bottles of beer in the price of ฿180 per bottle will amount to:

4 × ฿180 = ฿720

It is important to keep in mind that small payments may become quite significant in the long run.

Lady Drink Prices

In the hostess bars of Pattaya and go-go clubs, there is a thing called a lady drink. In this case, a lady drink is the cost of drinking for the hostess or staff member who will spend time talking with the customer. Lady drink prices usually consist of the commission paid for the staff member. Usually, lady drink price ranges from ฿180 to ฿300 at Walking Street, but in top-class venues, the prices are higher.

Lady drink is optional.

When ordering drinks, you have to take into account the price of the drinks.

For instance:

3 lady drinks × ฿250 = ฿750

It is one of those expenditures that make your visit to an inexpensive bar expensive.

Go-Go Bar Costs and Typical Spending

For most go-go bars along Walking Street, there is no usual fee for entrance. Instead, people have to buy drinks when they enter the establishment.

Typical costs may include:

Beer: ฿150–฿220
Cocktail: ฿250–฿400
Lady drink: ฿180–฿300+
Bar fine if applicable: around ฿1,000–฿2,500+

If a person goes to two places, buys his drinks and buys some drinks for the ladies, then he could easily spend ฿1,000-฿2,000 for nothing else.

The prices could vary significantly from one place to another, so do not forget to check out the menu first.

Bar Fines Explained

Bar fines are charges imposed by some hostess and/or go-go bars when their employees exit the premises while they are working. Bar fine is an obligation paid by the employee to the bar and does not depend on any individual agreement signed by both parties voluntarily.

The typical walking street bar fine could range between ฿2,000-฿4,000, though this will vary from venue to venue. There is no standard bar fine for Pattaya; check with the venue directly to be sure.

Adult Nightlife and Companion Costs

Nightlife in Pattaya is quite popular as it can involve meetings with hostesses, freelancers, and other people, and certain tourists will spend their night on this. This expense is going to vary a lot in cost and won’t be taken into account when preparing the budget of Walking Street. Bar fine is always paid at the place and doesn’t depend on the agreement between two adults.

It is impossible to say what exactly this will cost and one shouldn’t generalize the experience of one person to the whole of Pattaya. It is better to clarify everything prior to starting the activity in order to avoid any misunderstanding. One should remember about the rules of the place, personal boundaries, and legislation anyway.

Nightclub Costs on Walking Street

Walking Street is renowned for hosting some of the largest clubs in Pattaya. There are clubs that offer free entry while at other times there will be charges that range between ฿200-฿500 depending on the day. These charges will come after the entry.

A typical club experience may include the following costs:

Entry: ฿FREE
Two beers: ฿600

Food Before and After Your Night Out

A useful food budget is:

Street food or fast snack: ฿80–฿200
Thai food: ฿150–฿300
Indian or international cuisine: ฿200–฿500+
Seafood meal: ฿500–฿1,500+

Eating prior to the night out is sensible advice and it also makes sense to carry some cash for the late night snacks. Budget travelers would usually get better value for money when eating further from Walking Street.

How to Get Home: Costs of Baht Buses, Taxis, and Ride-Hailing Services

Transportation is one of the cheapest components of an evening on the Walking Street. Baht buses that are also known as Songthaews in Pattaya cost ฿20 per person if you use their usual shared rides. In Pattaya, it is also typical to use rented motorcycles, taxis, and ride-hailing services such as Bolt or Grab. For short journeys around Pattaya city center, it is recommended to save ฿100 to ฿200 for the trip, however, the price depends on how far you will go. It is advised to separate money for going back home from your spending on drinks. Do not rent a motorcycle if you have been drinking.

Comparing Walking Street with Other Pattaya Nightlife Districts

As a rule, Walking Street is among the costliest Pattaya nightlife districts. The reason for such a price tag is the international status of Walking Street, the tourism of the area and, finally, the number of nightclubs and entertainment places here.

Other Pattaya nightlife districts include Soi Buakhao and LK Metro with cheap drinks and less hectic atmosphere and Soi 6, giving an alternative Pattaya nightlife choice. For further comparison purposes and as a means for making a choice of Pattaya nightlife districts, read our Pattaya Soi 6 review.

Though Pattaya Walking Street is rather costly, still it is a place to see at least once during your vacation in Pattaya, because there is nothing similar to Walking Street clubs, bars, lights and nightlife in Pattaya.

Maintaining Low Costs

What tourists have difficulty with is not buying one very expensive item but rather buying many little items and forgetting them. It is important that you set a budget before you go out.

Be aware of prices before ordering, especially for:

• Cocktails;
• Lady Drinks;
• Bottle Service;
• VIP Tables;
• Bar Fines;
• Nightclub Admission;
• Special Promotions.

It is also wise to review your tab every time after you are served your drink where tab system is used.

Keeping an exact amount of money could be helpful for your budget planning as you will be able to see visually how much money you have left. Keep some cash just to find your way back to the hotel.

Cash or Card?

It is also good to have Thai baht available when shopping around Walking Street. Credit card can be accepted at bigger restaurants, night clubs and hotels, but having some cash is handy when shopping in smaller bars, food stalls and transport providers. It is better not to have all your vacation money in your wallet.

Final Budget Tips

There is no definite answer to what a night on Pattaya Walking Street will cost you.

As a general guideline:

฿700–฿1,200: basic night out with food and a couple of beers

The cost will be between ฿2,000 and ฿3,000 per person for dinner, drinks, venue hopping, and getting around town. The most important thing will be to determine what type of night you are looking for before even ordering your first drink.
