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.

Important condition: There is no prostitution or sexual activity permitted — neither inside nor outside the club. Required skills and criteria:

• 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

• Own performance costumes such as swimsuits, shorts, tops, bodysuits, or mini sundresses
• (These can also be purchased at local specialized shops)
