The Boyztown, Sunee Plaza and Jomtien Complex areas are famous for their many gay nightclubs, cabarets and go-go clubs.

Pattaya is known for its cabaret revues featuring kathoeys (male-to-female transsexuals), with Alcazar and Tiffany's being the largest and most elaborate.

Unlike some nightlife areas in Bangkok (particularly Nana Plaza and Patpong) there are not at present any dedicated kathoey go go bars, although there are some smaller bars which have kathoey staff.
