I recall reading Ssense review and along with others here - it is considered a soft shop (up to B2B, hj). Tip is not stated (unlike an H store) but 1500-2000B is considered appropriate depending on the service you receive. You can also consider asking in advance for the service during booking/before massage as these stores need some type of consent before they can go to the fun part. Ssense also has reputation for good massage techniques so not just pure fun unlike VCK or Glam by way of example

@vinapu, thanks for sharing. It could be that hard activity is nearly always expected in SK shop and the first guy had performance issue, and then the switch-a-roo. However I fully disapprove of non consensual part of it. This is in contrast with non-SK shop that even ask if you want anything beyond massage in all situation. Glad you still had the fun!

Hey everyone, just for a public service announcement- a new massage store is opening. Conveniently located beside OnNut. Some boys look familiar, but some look new too. the decoration is in chinese style. It has 7 rooms over 4 storeys but no private washroom. The shop is considered: H style (hard). location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uip6udcetJbhnHYi6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy X account: fafaspa_bkk

I think its a skill to find the diamond in the rough among the newcomers! I suppose the smile would a good indication

veterans here, do you prefer new faces or battle tested masseurs in the SK shop. I feel like the battle tested masseurs who has done it for years might be more jaded? but the new one can be so inexperienced…. Thoughts?

Thanks @TMax. Looking forward to read more reviews! 3900B for 2 hours seems to be in line with VCK Club it seems. But there you can select 1hr for total cost 2500B. How are the boy’s quality at senso? I cant seem to find their photos anywhere lol. This is the only shop that has no online presence at all.

@vinapu, thats a very astute observation. Yes, the smile seemed genuine- and one guy is just playing pool and got interrupted with the video. Phet attempted such video and they seemed like theyre just ‘present’.

Thanks @reader for sharing and venturing out! Phoenix is definitely one of those places that cater to local and have good reputation for ‘complete work’. The store has good reputation among locals. 1600B is probably a tad cheaper than typical and can confirm this is promotion that they advertise on Line. another thing to highlight about this store is that they do not run on freelance model. All the photos are taken by the store, the guys do not appear on multiple shops and they just recently expanded! All good signs of a growing and reputable shop.

I have read so many of these reviews (maybe 100+) and I really only try to figure out few things. I am frankly amused by how they are written as some form of erotica, but I am paying them for practical information and less for arousal reason. hope this is helpful If this is a S, SS or H shop (you can tell by the tips they give out at the end). S is 1000, SS is 1500-2000 and H is 2000-2500. Expected tips (per above) - they are mostly the same. If the boy looks as good as the photo (sometimes they say its better, the same or up to 15% less than the photo) State of the store (description/suggestion if its clean, has separate washroom) Fun factor: description like “hold me like a boyfriend”, “LGBTQ”, “kissing” Not so fun factor: “real man work, no kissing, does not burn the hole, does help with the hand” - suggest limited scope of work Procedures and norm: Many SS shops do have to ask the client if they want extra service or not. The code is “B2B” (higher tier service) , or “help with the hand” (Soft job) or no extra. If there is no extra, a soft shop masseur wont even touch the good!

Thanks for sharing @floridarob. Judging by photo variery, no doubt Phetboy has probably highest number of masseur with most photos not taken by the shop. M15 actually invest in a proper photo of the masseur - one can argue if they are slightly photoshopped or not - but at the very least, they invest efforts. I found instances where the boys at M15 are also not available at other shops. One of the more tell of quality of a massage shop is whether that shop has been reviewed by the massage reviewer (local thai). I never seen Phet boy review. On the other hand, I have seen m15/m27.

Frankly, even 1000B for 'hard' job is low even for Thai standard. At non-SK shops, 1000B is essentially a HJ tip. Anything beyond is 1500B and a H job is 2000 and sometimes more. The difference between 800B or 1000B is likely due to how much tip can the boy command. 800B likely for boys not as popular or even new.

maybe correct me if I'm wrong, but the scene on TK feed is probably exactly what one would expect at a typical SK shop. Minimal massage and attack? There doesn't to be much to it other than that

Fyi, this is a soft shop so likely just HJ. Its comparable to Msense or Prestige.

If STI check cost 8000B then really which gogo dancer or masseur will get test?

100%. You never met this person in real life. Chemistry is hit and miss…

Wow. Thanks for the long awaited report on Mandel. Yes, the stretching look intense! Based on the report I read, Mandel is considered a soft shop. They definitely do not do hard activities, but up to super soft is offered (like B2B). I think maybe due to the language barrier, they just default to HJ? typically because SS carries higher tip and the norm is of course to ask. I wonder if thats what stops it…

Careful @reader, they might offer you a job there to massage the masseur lol

So, what’s the verdict? Trick or treat? 😈

With cleaning fees tacked on, no daily house keeping and inflexbile booking policy - I am partial to hotel. The feeling of coming back at the end of the day to a clean room is really underrated.

This is likely first, and perhaps really adding excitement to theming the typical nature of gay massage for pleasure. Mandel spa (considered a soft/super soft shop) is advertising a halloween themed massage. Check it out!

@reader, that is an astute observation. You are right - I have been getting more explicit content or message from SK shops. For instance, from M15, the ad reads “F me slowly” which is a play on the song klling me softly obviously. I wondered if say a boy exist in both Jey Spa and SK shop which means tip / cost is double - is it worth going to Jey instead if one expecting a better “fulsome” service ? I wonder if Jey has a standard that they must perform this and that compared to SK which sets the bar for “min service”

Based on review, weekend nights is busiest at Maxwell. Followed by weekday nights and weekday daytime is least busy. I would add Maxwell onsen for one of the weekend nights. R3 and Sauna Mania are owned by same owner so likely similar program for foam party and same model. Krub on the other hand is different owner and model.

Follow your instinct: if its too good to be true, it probably is. No one here in this forum can tell you to go against your instinct. Tho, it is a known fact not everyone is an MB outright. Some might look for so called “relationship”. Where they could be your “boyfriend” and make more money in long term than being a ST MB.

I have not arrived in Bangkok and I am already overwhelmed with the choices from the massage line. After sometime, the faces start to look more or less the same, and the daily bombardment of ads/promotion is making things less exciting lol.

Human mind is a funny thing. Imagine you are at a party that you have been so looking forward to, then the host said to you: “You must have fun!” And evey 5 minutes, you must laugh. Same thing with sleeping. If you tell yourself I must sleep… the harder it becomes to sleep…. . Human mind doesn’t function this way. I think maybe its the performance anxiety. Why dont you just really take it easy - horny or not - see what happens. The reason you are in Thailand is just to enjoy yourself, at your own pace, at your own time, no need to force anything to make it “worthwhile”. Yes, its counterintuitive- but sometimes we just need to get out of our way.
