I forgot to mention, there are a bunch of videos on YouTube in case you want to get a sense for the vibe of the place and the quality of the women. Honestly, I think I might be ruined for life as nothing in the US is close to the combination of price, quality, and convenience. It's truly a monger paradise over there. Yes, it has its pitfalls and disappointments too, but the opportunities are endless. Like a journey to Mecca, every monger should try to go at least once in their life.

$2 is too expensive for this place. You probably could've negotiated down to 1.2 or 1.4.

All the establishments are geared towards foreigners so most girls speak some English. Then again, they're also attuned to where the money is, so they also are able to converse in Korean and Japanese. I wouldn't worry about having to learn Thai. I don't know more than Hello, Please, and Thank You and I was just fine navigating around for 5 days. Converting prices, my drinks were about $4-$6. Drinks for the ladies were $12-$14. Taking a bar girl back to the hotel would be $24 to the bar, and $90 to the girl for about 2hrs.

Honestly, for a first-time visitor to Thailand, the entire vibe of Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza, and Thermae was something else! It's a monger paradise with a culture that caters to deviant behavior, and at prices that are 1/3 of what it costs in the US.

It may open at 4pm, but there's a strong likelihood there won't be any dancers until 5pm. Nothing like sitting at an empty bar waiting for someone to show up.
