Nana, I have not explored because my previous stay there was short and I went there pretty late due to work. I know that there are 2-3 LDs bars that I should avoid.
I prefer hard liquor compared to beer .. is hard liquor / cocktails cheap - reasonable ?
Please enlighten me as I really want to know if this horror stories way way in the past or just a myth.
Please recommend 1 place in SC and Nana for a first timer.
Is Crazy House - SC safe ?

For soi cowboy, the scam that you mentioned, I have never heard of it or experienced it before. The drink prices are stated on the menu so just double check your bill whenever you order your drink. In crazy house, the waitresses make you sign the bill to make sure you acknowledge of the price that you are paying. If a waitress pressures you to choose a lady, just tell them you are still looking.
For nana, there are now 6 ladyboy bars, but it's very easy to avoid them if you wish. Just simply walk past the bars and if a ladyboy grabs your arm, just tell them no thank you and walk away.
Hard liquor is typically 170 baht to 200 baht per glass I believe. These drinks typically come with a free mixer. Cocktails however, prices usually start around 200 baht and above.
Don't believe all the horror stories you might hear from other people. Yes indeed there are some scams that the bars might try and pull on you, but if you are firm, street smart, and stay alert and not drink too much, you will be fine.
If I had to recommend 1 place in soi cowboy and Nana for a first timer, for Nana it would be any of the rainbow bars or spankys. They typically get could feedback and rarely do I hear negative stories about these bars. For soi cowboy, I would recommend either Baccara, Suzie Wong or Crazy House. The girls at Suzie Wong are not the most attractive, but it is generally a scam free bar. For Baccara, it is also usually a scam free bar but just take not that there is a 2-drink minimum if you want to barfine a girl. And for crazy house, it is more well known for some scams, such as double ladydrink order, or padded bills, or a required entrance fee but all of that is avoidable so long as you know what you are doing.
