Windmill is a Walking Street institution. Operating across two locations — commonly known as Windmill 1 and Windmill 2 — this is one of the strip’s most recognized GoGo bar brands. The name alone carries weight among returning visitors, and it has built a loyal following over the years.
What to Expect
Windmill 1 and Windmill 2 are separate venues on Walking Street, and while they share branding and management, each has its own character. Windmill 1 tends to be the more established of the two, with a solid regular crowd and consistent entertainment. Windmill 2 offers a similar experience with slight variations in layout and roster.
Both venues feature central-stage layouts with seating arranged for good sightlines. The interiors are dark and club-like, with the expected combination of neon accents and moody lighting. Shows run throughout the evening, with peak entertainment usually hitting between 22:00 and midnight.
The dancers at Windmill are known for being friendly and engaging. The venue has a reputation for a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where the pressure to spend is low compared to some of the more aggressive establishments on the strip. This makes it a good choice for visitors who want to enjoy the GoGo bar experience without feeling like a walking wallet.
Drink Prices
Beer runs around 150 to 170 THB for a bottle. Cocktails range from 200 to 280 THB. Lady drinks are approximately 150 to 200 THB. Pricing is competitive, and the value proposition at Windmill is solid given the entertainment and atmosphere on offer.
No cover charge at either location. Walk in, sit down, and order when you are ready.
Tips
If you are visiting Walking Street for multiple nights, consider checking out both Windmill locations to see which one suits your taste. Some regulars swear by one over the other, but both deliver a quality evening.
Arriving early (around 20:30 to 21:00) is a good strategy if you want a front-row seat and the chance to enjoy the venue before it fills up. The atmosphere shifts as the night progresses, from relaxed early evening to high-energy late night.
Windmill’s two-venue setup means that if one location is packed or not quite hitting the mark on a given night, you can try the other without abandoning the brand you came for.
Venues on Walking Street are always subject to change. Even established names like Windmill can undergo renovations or temporary closures. Verifying current operating status, especially during the low season, is a habit worth maintaining.
