5 Best Places to Meet Ladyboys in Phuket

I’ve put together all sorts of guides on where to meet girls in Phuket, but there’s something that more and more guys are curious about: Where can you find ladyboys in Phuket? How do you handle that? Do they ask for more cash than the girls? And is it kinda risky to take one back to your hotel room?

So in this guide, I’m gonna tackle all your questions, and while we’ll mainly focus on where to meet ladyboys in Phuket, let’s dive into some general stuff first to give you a solid peek at the shemale scene on Thailand’s biggest island.

You probably won’t be shocked to hear that most ladyboys hang out and work in Patong. That doesn’t mean all of them are prostitutes who only want cash from you, though! Patong is just the hottest beach spot and a major tourist hub, which means you’ll see tons of ladyboys working in bars and regular jobs like at restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, and even getting into the real estate game, which has been booming in Phuket for years now.

If you’re just looking to have some fun and experience a night with a gorgeous Thai ladyboy while you’re in town, Patong is definitely the place to be. But if you’re interested in meeting “regular” ladyboys who have jobs or are students, you can totally find them all over the island using the popular dating apps—like in Phuket Town and other beaches such as Kata, Karon, and Kamala.

The next thing you’re probably wondering about is how to handle ladyboys. They’re usually way more direct and straightforward when you’re talking to them, especially if they’re working at a bar. They can be super charming, but trust me, they know how to get what they want, and they do it quick!

When it comes to the prices for hiring a sex worker, you’ll often find that they try to charge more because they think they’re something special. Usually, a hand job runs about 500 Baht, but you might see them asking for as much as 1,000 Baht. It’s important to stay cool in these situations—just smile and say no until they drop down to the regular price. Don’t let them trick you; make sure you don’t pay more than you should based on how attractive she is.

And should I be worried about enjoying myself with a ladyboy? Not really. Taking a ladyboy home form the bar is pretty safe because she won’t cause any problems – you know where to find her the next day so you don’t have to worry about anything going missing. Use your common sense, it’s risky to bring a street hooker back to your room, girls are fine but the ladyboys on the street just seem like they really need to get a customer than elsewhere. And they are usually not the best looking.

When it comes to the “normal” ladyboys on dating sites and all that, it’s pretty safe as long as you avoid picking freelance prostitutes – a bunch of them are really just after “friends with benefits” like you, or even someone to get serious with.

Alright, that wraps up the basics! Now, let’s dive into the top five spots where you can meet ladyboys in Phuket:

Ladyboy bars in Phuket

If you’re in Phuket and curious about the ladyboy scene, there are no bars that are exclusively for ladyboys—but you’ll still find plenty of them hanging out and working in popular spots around town.

One of the best ways to see ladyboys in action is by checking out the cabaret shows. There are three main ones in Patong: Simon Cabaret, Moulin Rose Cabaret, and Cocktails & Dreams. Simon is the big touristy one, but Cocktails & Dreams is more relaxed—it feels like a proper bar, no entrance fee, just grab a drink and enjoy the show. They’ve even got a pool table if you fancy a game between performances.

When it comes to bar-hopping, head to Bangla Road. Tiger Night Club (specifically the beer bar section downstairs, notthe disco upstairs) is a hot spot. It’s basically a maze of around 20 small beer bars with loads of bar girls, and a good number of stunning ladyboys mixed in.

Soi Freedom and Soi Sea Dragon, also on Bangla Road, are worth a visit too, along with the Patong Beer Bar Complex near Second Road, close to Christin Massage. All of these places have a decent mix of regular girls and ladyboys, so keep your eyes open.

Now, about the prices💵: drinks are roughly the same as most girly bars—beers go for around 100 Baht, spirits for 160–180 Baht, and lady drinks cost about 200 Baht. Want to take someone home? You’ll have to pay a bar fine: usually around 500–600 Baht, though Tiger charges more (about 1,000 Baht). Then it’s around 1,000–1,500 Baht for a short time or 1,500–3,000 Baht for a long time. Of course, prices are usually negotiable.

Ladyboy massage in Phuket

In Phuket, just like the bars, there are no massage salons exclusively for ladyboys. However, you’ll confidently discover that finding an attractive shemale in this scene is a breeze. Countless ladyboys work alongside women in the “regular” happy ending massage salons, ensuring you have plenty of options.

The prime hot spots boasting the highest concentration of ladyboy masseuses in Patong are undeniably the area surrounding Christin Massage on Second Road (photo), Sainamyen Road, Bangla Road, and the intriguing spots along Beach Road, just 200m north of Bangla Road.

Prices 💵: Typically, you can expect to pay around 200 Baht for a Thai Massage and 300 Baht for an Oil Massage (1 hour). For Happy Endings, the going rates are 500 Baht for a hand job and 700-800 Baht for a blow job. Interestingly, while the girls in the massage salons generally do not offer sex (“boom boom cannot!”), the ladyboys provide a different experience – most of them are more than willing to strip down and deliver the full service for a tip of 1,000 Baht.

Ladyboy escorts in Phuket

Escorts may not appeal to everyone—largely because they often come with a price tag that feels like selling a kidney, and let’s face it, those heavily edited photos can be as deceptive. However, for many, the excitement of swapping their couch for a real-life companion just a tap away is as satisfying as ordering a pizza—imagine the thrill when someone arrives at your door in under an hour! Who needs Netflix and chill when you can enjoy “Doorbell and thrill”?

The escort industry in Phuket may not be as expansive as in Bangkok and Pattaya, but a quick Google search for “Phuket ladyboy escorts” will reveal several reputable agencies featuring at least one or two ladyboys that will catch your interest – and that’s all you truly need.

  • Prices 💵: Usually 5,000 Baht for 2 hours, 7,000 Baht for 4 hours and 10,000 Baht for 12 hours.

Ladyboy street hooker in Phuket

If you really want it bad and you are adventurous , but don’t want to pay the hefty bar fines, then you can also pick up a ladyboy on the street. I wouldn’t recommend the street hookers because they are less attractive but it’s also more risky with shemale freelancers than with girls. This is really a last resort sort of deal.

You can find 80% of all ladyboy street freelancers in Patong on Bangla Road and Beach Road.

  • Prices💵: Not more than 800-1,000 Baht for a short time.

Ladyboys on dating sites

If you haven’t seen the page with a list of a bunch of dating sites you can use to pick up girls and trans, check it out here . . .

One of the prominent trends today is ladyboy dating. If you’re looking for a genuine connection without the need for transactional encounters, simply join one of the dating sites to meet a captivating ladyboy for dinner, and feel free to invite her to your room to enjoy a movie together.

By far the most vibrant and exciting site overflowing with thousands of “open-minded” ladyboys is Thaifriendy. The heart of this wild ride is in Bangkok and Pattaya, but let me tell you, the Phuket section is like finding a hidden chocolate stash! I just logged in and dove into an exhilarating hunt for ladyboys aged 18-28 in Phuket, and guess what? I stumbled upon a bustling community of 100s of active ladyboys, all just waiting to share unforgettable moments and perhaps a few outrageous stories with charming foreigners like you!
