Beer Garden in Soi 7 – A freelancer bar that is worth a visit before 11:00 pm.
Before we explain how much freelancer in Thailand cost, let’s first explore their profile and try to understand what makes their naughty minds tick. Thai Freelancers make up the most significant population of (independent) hookers in Bangkok. These girls are Thai prostitutes who work for themselves. They set their own hours and charge whatever they want. You can call them independent Thai escorts available on the streets of Bangkok. Thai Freelancers are the mercenaries of the sex trade. They move around in packs and are highly trained by their older sisters. They are fighters in the field, operating with a straightforward objective; to grab as much of your cash as they can. This is perhaps why the girls call customers “Walking ATMs.”
The famous Beer Garden is a well known, some would say ‘infamous’, bar on Soi 7 on the Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok. This bar has been running since the 1970s and it is popular, unique and seedy in equal measure. Love or hate it you have to go there and you will probably end up visiting it again. The first thing to note about Beer Garden is that there is no garden. The second thing to note is that there are no particularly special beers on offer. What Beer Garden does have though is large open space with lots of tables, a large circular bar in the middle, some pool tables, large TV screens showing sport, some toilets in a moderately bad state of disrepair and lots and lots of Thai women wanting to meet Western men. They also serve food.
The place has a nice atmosphere, very casual, people are friendly and the freelancers aren’t aggressive, no overpriced drinks, food is good, service is fair and professional. This is one of the main reasons it attracts a crowd of mostly middle age male and expats. The average working girls here isn’t in Bangkok’s top tier but they are pleasant to chat with and share a joke, nor do they harass unsuspecting customers unsuspecting tourist like the bargirls in other places. Since the freelancers are not associated with the beer garden there are no bar fines or expensive ladies drinks, everyone pays the same price.
A few years back Thai women used to go here on a night off from their normal job for a good night out often ending with meeting a Western man for some nocturnal gymnastics in their nearby hotel room. There are still some girls like this who go there (or so I am told) but it appears now to more about part time prostitutes looking for business. This is not to say that this is not a fun place to go and have a drink, even if you have no interest paying for sex with Thai girls (please note many aren’t girls even though they wear dresses). This place has a great atmosphere. People talk to each around the bars and you can have a joke and laugh with the ‘working girls’ who aren’t as aggressive as the bar girls who harass the unsuspecting tourist in other places.
The service here is prompt, fair and professional. There is never any trouble and nobody will ever demand money for overpriced drinks. For this reason it attracts a middle age male crowd, many of whom are ex-pats. I often come here for a drink when I am in Bangkok because it is a safe and friendly place to go. The beer isn’t expensive either.
