A bar cashier ringing up the night's takings

Your 9am Thai

Every morning, a bit of it comes back.

At 9am Thai time the night settles up and the Morning Brief lands in your inbox: what your bar took last night, who worked, who's on tonight, and everything that happened on the soi while you slept.

Read it over your coffee. Lock tonight's captain. You're done in five minutes, and you've had your fix of the place.

1 Morning · 09:00 Thai

📨 The brief lands

Last night's takings, who clocked in, who's on tonight, every move your rivals made. The whole soi, summarised, before your coffee's gone cold.

2 Afternoon

⭐ Lock the captain

Pick the one lady whose night counts double. Change your mind as often as you like, right up to the 9am roll. Scout rivals, ring a bell, plan your night.

3 Night · live ticker

🔔 Watch it land

The real venues open. The real ladies clock in. The real drinks get poured. By 9am tomorrow you'll know exactly who won the night.

💤 While you sleep: the venues run their nightly shift, duels play out, season chips fire, and the Pattaya Turtle goes to print.

Not made up

Real bars. Real ladies. Real receipts.

None of it is invented. Every drink your ladies pour at their real venue is pulled in overnight, straight off the till, and paid to your bar in the morning. Scout the right names and you reap the right revenue.

of drinks nightly

Counted, not guessed

Pulled from the POS as the night happens.

Real ladies, made-up faces. The nickname in your roster is the one she actually uses at the bar, so "Pond at Maggie May's" is a real person you could walk in and meet. The only invented part is the picture. Every face in the game is drawn by AI and kept deliberately generic, so the screen never points to anyone real. Real people, made-up faces, real numbers behind them.

What it's really about

You can't be in every bar every night.

Maybe the next trip isn't booked yet. Maybe you're here, but nobody gets to every bar every night. Either way, there are bars you're not in right now and ladies you haven't seen in a while.

This is how you keep tabs on all of them. Open it with your morning coffee and the whole strip is right there: the bars, the takings, the names you know, still going whether you made it out last night or not.

A bar owner welcoming a regular at his Pattaya bar

It's yours

Name it. Run it. Make it the one they talk about.

Pick the name, the colours, the logo. Draft up to ten ladies, hire a cashier to ring the till, and open the doors.

From that morning on it's a real address on the strip with your name over it, climbing the league one night at a time. Your regulars, your rivals, your morning check-in.

Five minutes a day, or all night if you fancy

Forty-odd mechanics. Four jobs.

You won't touch all of it on day one. By week two you'll be running half of it without thinking.

You're not doing this alone

A whole soi full of people who miss it too.

Hundreds of bars are already competing. There's an 11,000-strong Discord where the dev team posts patch notes and the banter never stops.

Four old expat regulars run the Bar Owner School from the corner table, teaching you the ropes one lesson at a time. And the Pattaya Turtle, the league's own daily tabloid, is written entirely by players: file a letter, vote up the best ones, and the top story leads tomorrow's front page.

🔔 The only notification we'll ever send

Add your favourites. Know when she's on.

Bookmark the ladies and cashiers you want to keep an eye on. When one of them clocks in at the real bar tonight, your phone lets you know.

It's the only notification the game will ever send you, because it's the only one worth the buzz. Everything else waits quietly in your inbox.

When you're off the clock.

Some evenings you don't want to manage anything. So there's a relationship side-game with a cast of six, written just for it. Pull up a stool at a quiet bar called Soi Sabai, get to know them over time, send a gift, take one on a date, collect the Moments.

It never touches your earnings, your roster, or your league position. It's there for the nights you just want to hang about.

"My favourite part is the morning report. I open the inbox with my coffee like it's the football scores, except it's my bar in Pattaya."

M@mangoDiscord

"Rang the bell for a rival, then they challenged me to a duel three nights running. Worth it. We've got a proper feud now."

F@frodoDiscord

"I'm out here full time and still can't make it to every bar every night. Now I check on the lot of them with my morning coffee."

B@bigsoiDiscord

"The Pattaya Turtle ran a smear piece on my Mayor candidate and I have not stopped laughing for a week."

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

The questions players ask before they sign up. The full game guide lives over at How it works.

What is Pattaya Bar Simulator?

A free browser fantasy game where you run a virtual bar staffed from a roster of real Pattaya venues. You hire ladies and cashiers by the nicknames they use at the bar, pick a captain each day, and earn from the venues' real POS drink-sale data.

Is it free to play?

Yes. Free to play, no card required. Your first bar is free and comes with a starter budget of in-game baht to staff it. Every bar after that is earned in-game, never bought.

Do I need to have been to Pattaya?

No. Plenty of players are counting down to a first trip and use the game to get to know the place. Plenty more have been a dozen times. Either way you're welcome, and the league plays the same.

How do real Pattaya bars affect the game?

The drink number that earns you money in the game is the same number that rang up at the real venue. Live POS data drives every morning's earnings roll, so a busy night in a real Pattaya bar shows up as a payout in your inbox.

Do I need to be in Thailand to play?

No. Players join from the UK, US, Europe, Australia, and Asia. The game runs on Thai time (UTC+7) but the interface shows your local equivalent for every deadline and earnings roll.

How long does it take to play each day?

Five minutes. Read the Morning Brief in your inbox, lock tonight's captain, and you are done. Players who want to scout, duel rivals, and run an empire can spend longer, but five minutes a day is the design target.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes. The game runs in any mobile browser and installs as a PWA on both iOS and Android. The mobile UI is purpose-built, not a shrunk-down desktop view.

Is it suitable for all ages?

No. The game is age-gated and contains adult themes appropriate to the Pattaya nightlife setting. Players must be adults to register.
