Hi B.C.,
Welcome to the forum. Yes, you find a lot of stories on these forums related to bar girls, nightlife, etc.
As to worrying about your boyfriend, it won't be a problem. I have traveled to places like Pattaya with my Thai gal. They'll likely avoid him if you are together. They might flirt with you or you both as a couple though. Bar girls have been known to go with couples. If that's not your bag, just say so.
There are lots of bars that cater to tourists that do not have bar girls. You can tell right away, usually, if a bar is "one of
those bars".
They are usually concentrated in certain areas.
Overall, though, you have nothing to worry about except enjoying your stay in Thailand. I think you too will enjoy it if you take advantage of all the other cool things you can do there. Lots of sightseeing, great food, shopping and reasonably priced luxuries like 2 hour oil massages, spas and nice hotels too.
Best of luck and have fun.
