Thailand’s GoGo Bars – 28 Questions Answered

There are regular bars, and then there is the Agogo bar. The key distinction is that the Agogo bar combines elements of a bar and a strip club. It offers a more provocative atmosphere with live shows and a larger number of female performers, creating a livelier ambience than a typical bar or strip club. Agogo establishments are not merely places for drinks and music; they offer an enhanced experience. It may not be the right choice for you if you’re not seeking that extra excitement. Keep in mind that within Thailand’s GoGo bars, there is entertainment provided for a fee.
