Nana Entertainment Plaza (NEP) is a red light district located on Sukhumvit Soi 4. It is an area filled with international shops, restaurants, posh condos and first class business hotels. Which is one of the reasons why many foreign expats and tourist choose to stay and visit there.
The entrance to NEP is directly across from the Nana Hotel and you simply cannot miss the neon sign with the bright green letters above the entrance. And the crowd of men and the army of freelance prostitutes make NEP easy to locate. NEP is essentially a square building with 3 floors and an open courtyard in the center filled with go go bars, beer bars and pool tables.
On the ground floor you'll find popular beer bars such as Big Dogs and Lucky Luke's right at the entrance. Both of those beer bars are great for sitting around and having a beer with some great company from all over the world. In the courtyard is where you'll find a few more beer bars, pool tables and many go go bars. Currently the most popular go go bars on the ground floor are Rainbows 1, Rainbows 2 and Play School. You'll find hundreds of go go dancers shuffling their feet to hip hop beats and trance. There is one go go bar that only has lady boys working inside and it's called Obsessions, and it's quite popular for men interested in that lifestyle.
Then on the second floor you'll find only go go bars and just like downstairs on the ground floor you'll get mobbed by ladies trying their best to entice you to go inside their go go bar. The more popular go go bars on the second floor are Rainbow 4 and Angel Witch. Angel Witch has started to become quite popular over the years because of their beautiful show girls. There are two lady boy go go bars on the second floor as well and you can't miss them. There are usually a few standing around by the doors of Temptations and Casanova.
Finally on the third floor you'll find the largest go go bars called Hollywood 2, Hollywood Carousel and Carnival. All of those go go bars have some shows starting around 11pm and draw quite a crowd so it gets quite packed. Carnival is the only go go bar with a mechanical bull and anyone can get on and give it a go. There is also one lady boy go go bar here called Casanovas.
Most men who visit NEP are most likely going to take a Thai girl out of a go go bar. Before they can do that they must first pay what's called a bar fine which cost about 500THB. And if they want to take their companion back to their hotels they have to make sure their hotel is guest friendly. Non guest friendly hotels also charge a 500THB joiner fee, and you have to pay it in order for your companion to come into your room.
Fortunately there are many guest friendly hotels around NEP. Nana Hotel, Majestic Suites and Woraburi Sukhumvit Resort and Hotel are some just to name a few that are very close to NEP.
For more in depth information visit Nana Entertainment Plaza where you can find useful maps and information.
