Working as a Dancer in Thailand
Thailand is widely recognized as one of the most popular destinations in Southeast Asia. Its authenticity and exotic charm are perfectly combined with high standards of service and diverse opportunities for both work and leisure.
For Go-Go dancers, Thailand offers a unique opportunity to work without striptease or private dances. The only club in Thailand where such work is available without any private dancing obligations is the famous Hollywood Club in Phuket. This club operates under a model significantly different from others in the country, where nudity and private dances are typically mandatory.

All clubs in Thailand are typically packed with guests and constantly in need of new dancers — both experienced and beginners.
Important condition: There is no prostitution or sexual activity permitted — neither inside nor outside the club. Required skills and criteria:
- Experience in various dance styles (e.g. acrobatics, belly dance, traditional, hip-hop, contemporary).
- Conversational English (additional languages are a plus).
- Only Slavic appearance accepted for Go-Go roles
- Age: 18–30 years old
- No excess weight
Job responsibilities:
- Perform 5 to 7 dance routines per shift
- Actively participate in consumption (socializing with guests and encouraging them to buy drinks) when not on stage
- Own performance costumes such as swimsuits, shorts, tops, bodysuits, or mini sundresses
- (These can also be purchased at local specialized shops)

How Much Can a Dancer Earn in Thailand?
