Hey guys I'm heading to Shanghai in a few days and I'll probably try a massage while I'm there. Any suggestions on a decent massage spa - fairly clean, not too difficult to find and has attractive staff? I've already looked on various gay travel sites and I have an idea of a couple of spots to try. Just curious if anyone here has experience they want to share. Hoping for something on the more sensual/erotic side. Anyway, my main question is about tips. Is it customary to tip for a massage in China, and if so, how much? I don't want to be cheap nor do I want to over tip. Thanks in advance.

Some years ago Shamelessmack put a blog out with lots of info on massage shops in Bangkok, which I found very helpful. A while back I put together a spreadsheet with some updated information. For various reasons that format hasn't really worked for me. Instead, I've updated the information and put it on a blog, which for a few reasons is easier for me. Experienced readers/users can ignore most of it. Actually all are free to ignore all of it. But for the newbies might be some useful info. Happy 2018 https://bkkmassages.wordpress.com/shop-specifics/

Dear all, I am visiting Bangkok for the first time and would like to try the 4 hands massage. Is there any recommendations? Millions of thanks!

Hi, I'm from Tokyo and visiting Bangkok in early December for work/short vacation. In need of some advice so I can make my first visit memorable: 1) I am so-called Twink looking bottom, average hight (170cm) but super skinny. Is there any good sauna for someone extremely skinny like myself can enjoy? I'm looking to have some fun with people around my age. 2) Since this will be my first visit to Thailand, I wanna be little bit adventurous. Thinking of trying a massage place. As I've seeing threads here, it looks like the "happy endings" are not necessarily all the way service. Is there any massage place I can go all the way with a masseur? I will be staying around Silom, only visiting Bangkok. Thanks a lot in advance! Best,

Can anyone recommend a good massage shop in Karon Beach with a good male masseur? Not looking for escort type - just a good massage by a talented and cute masseur. Thanks in advance. Also in Phuket town too.

A quick report on a couple of massage spots in Kowloon. I recommend both spots, but highly recommend booking ahead of time as neither is particularly large and I think I was lucky that they were able to accommodate me as a walk-in. Sonata Spa http://www.sonatahk.com/?page_id=16276 I showed up about 7:00 on a Friday night with no appointment. They were able to accommodate (just barely), but having a masseur come over from their other branch, nearby Eden Spa. $HK 398 for a 90 minute "Chinese massage". Masseur was assigned. A 24-year old very handsome guy with a tight worked out body and a very nice personality (but almost no english to speak of). Shower alone before and after. Massage was good if a bit painful as the masseur decided to take on the task of working on the knots in my back. A simple but nicely done happy ending. masseur clothed throughout. Facilities are nice but the massage table (with hole for face) is very small for my 187cm height. A slight ding for the shower not really having hot water, but I think it was a temporary issue. Place is easy to find and the map on the website is accurate. Eden Spa http://www.edenspa.com.hk On a Sunday I stopped by about 6:00 and they were able to accommodate me for a 90 minute massage (but not the 2 hour massage I wanted -- because the massage rooms were already booked). 90 minutes $HK 398. Masseur assigned. 28 year old tall guy. Nice gym body. Facilities are perhaps a tad bit nicer than their sister branch Sonata. Massage was very good. 2/3rds of the way through masseur asked me if I "want body to body - 500." I think I could talked him down to 400 but didn't care, so I said yes. (I think 300-500 is about the right tip range). He promptly stripped down and coated me with oil and began the full body-to-body massage. And yes he was very happy to see me. Happy ending and all the usual. Shower alone before and after. Overall very nice job and highly recommend. Place is easy to find right near Jordan station and the map on the website is accurate.

I have been a lurker here since the fall of last year planning this trip and want to thank everyone that posted about their advice and experiences, all of the suggestions were spot on! I thought I should return the favor so here is a bit about my visit and descent into decadence. I visited Chiang Mai during Christmas for 8 days and had an absolute blast. The sights, sounds, the food, and the AWESOME people I met during my stay were everything I expected and much more. It was very easy and inexpensive to get around the city and I primarily used Uber and Grab. I stayed at The Prestige near Maya Mall and the staff were extremely nice and I had ZERO issues having a guests over for fun on multiple occasions with no surprise joiner fees when I checked out. I had great luck meeting several locals using Planetromeo about a month or so in advance, and one tourist on Hornet. I was very surprised that I received so much attention from the non-money boys being in my early 50’s. I am in OK shape with a bit of a belly and decent looking, but nothing compared to the 30 - 40 year old Thai guys that I met during my stay … they were absolutely beautiful men to look at, but more than their appearance they were extremely nice guys which made it even more of a turn on and have kept in contact with both since my visit via Line. I am a total top, but decided that this trip I was going to explore being bottom the entire time and try to experience more of what I thought I had been missing, all of the encounters were good to excellent. All were very patient and very passionate with lots of foreplay. I did not have one hurried encounter, just the way I like it only this time I was on the receiving end of things. I advised all that I met in advance that bottom was something I had only tried a few times in my youth and they were all very understanding and were very excited to show me the way, and show me the way they did in multiple positions and places around the condo that I had never thought of using as a top and will now! Aren’t new learning experiences for old dogs like most of us great? I can’t remember who told me years ago that Thai men have smaller than average cocks but they obviously had never visited the country as I found that most of my encounters were average to well above that and WOW, I just love the look and feel of uncut cock! Maybe it was beginners luck, but if so what great luck I had! I never did make it up to Adam’s Apple and wish that I would have taken the time see the shows. I did visited 3 massage shops and had very good to excellent massages, however the hand jobs were just so so compared to the men I met online and one not at all. The first and best of these experiences is detailed below. The first day was very long day of sightseeing outside the city at a few National Parks, day markets and open air restaurants. The best place (tourist wise) was the Kings Gardens as I got back to the city, just stunning at dusk! I visited Classic House Massage that evening for my first ever happy ending massage to end the perfect day out. People say you always remember your first good or bad and I totally agree with that statement. WOW this guy knew what he was doing and was the best massage I have ever received, and I have had a lot of regular massages due to a motorcycle accident I had in my late 20’s. I was a bit nervous as I had never entertained the idea of paying for sex before and think the manager could tell, but he was quite patient helping me try to pick the right guy. I told him that I generally prefer older men in their 30’s - 50’s (less drama here in the states in my experience with hookups), and that I wanted 2 hours with the focus to be mostly on a great swedish style massage, but would not mind some fun at the end. Most of the pictures he was showing me were a bit too twinky for me. He then states, NO PROBLEM, I have guy for you and you have GREAT MASSAGE … I am now thinking to myself, OK what the hell have I got myself into here but decide I am NOT GOING to chicken out after traveling this far! He then promptly scurrys off to retrieve the guy as I think he senses my hesitation and brings back this late 20-something completely smooth muscle dude about 6 feet tall in nothing but a skimpy pair of boxer briefs several sizes too small that he must have borrowed from one of the skinny twinks in the photos, and also looking to be packing something pretty nice. I am now thinking to myself WTF just go with the flow this is going to be fun. Looking back now, I have no idea why I was so uptight about this! A short shower and ready to go… This guy was a total pro with EXCELLENT massage skills and within minutes I was totally in the zone of knowing this massage was going to be a great one. This was also the first time that I tried an oil massage and was loving the new experience of that as well. I would say about 30 or so minutes into the massage it takes an interesting turn and becomes way more sensual with lots of touching areas I have never experienced during a massage .. it was a total turn-on and he knew exactly what buttons to push! After a long while massaging and teasing me he has me turn over, I notice that he had removed the boxer briefs at some point and HOLY SHIT, he is hard as a rock and his cock had to be a minimum of 8.5 inches, a beautiful helmet covering part of the head, and quite thick! Did I mention that I LOVE uncut cock before?? He says, I keep massage and you touch … well I don’t have to be told twice with an invitation like that! And the massage continues just as good on the front only way more fun now that I am able to play with this beautiful guy’s cock along the way. Then suddenly I realize something, DAMNIT … HOW THE FUCK am I supposed to enjoy a regular massage after this experience!! Just the thought of this makes me hard! Now after the best massage I have ever had along with playing with this beautiful cock, he now starts to play with my cock a bit more and says I top you now? Not really expecting that I was brought straight back to reality looking at that huge cock that I can barely wrap my hand around and thinking could I really take that, it could be fun to at least try right? Then I look at all the oil everywhere and realize there is zero possibility that this is going to happen safely with a condom and say sorry no, just hand job. So he proceeds on and I am then very surprised as this guy has some serious massage skill how awkward he seems to be with a hand job. REALLY, what just happened here?? Then I remember some of the stories on this forum … WOW it just hits me that this guy is probably STR8, another new experience but not a bad one! I finally start getting bored with how bad he is at this part and tell him to massage my balls and ass and take matters into my own hand, then all the sudden everything is back to massage mode and heading right back into the zone. This guy needs to go to school to become a urologist, within seconds he zones in on my prostate while still massaging my balls and within a short time I am ready CUM and warn him a few times. But he does not move and I shoot a massive load everywhere, on both of us, which catches him by surprise how much there is and we both start laughing. I always shoot allot and hard when edging, but I was even a bit surprised by how much. We start to clean up and ask if the 2 hours up and he says no and sits up against the wall pats his chest for me to lean up against those beautiful pecs and he starts massaging my head, neck and shoulders. Again I am totally taken back at what a pro this guy is, I give this str8 guy a cum shower and he doesn’t miss a beat. After we are done I shower alone, bummer was hoping to extend that a bit more and then go to pay. The cost was 1200 bht for the massage and 1000 bht minimum tip. Really the only thing that I can remotely complain about is the hard mat and pillow. I am used to a regular massage table, not a mat on the floor, but that is so minor and in the days following I never see a proper western style massage table at the other 2 places either. I know that there will be someone that is going to be pissed about this after reading some of the comments on here, but I l gave him an additional 1000 bht tip and he was very happy with that! It was worth EVERY BAHT and still less than I have paid in states for a great massage without the happy ending and tip! I have not CUM THAT HARD in years and after that experience there was NO WAY I was leaving there without tipping extremely well! So that was my 1st happy ending massage and will always remember it fondly … So there was my first day, probably TMI for some. Feedback is welcome, I will write about the other places visited, massages and the local Thai guys if you all would like to hear about it.

Anyone tried this place? http://www.inhouseagencia.com.br/ if yes, what service did you chose, and with which guy? Would you mind telling us? Have you tried any other similar place in São Paulo? PS: no need to tell me “why would you pay for that when you can get a programma for much cheaper in Lagoa?”. I know what Is available for sex, but for once that is not what I want.

Hi, I've been to BKK before and plan to visit again in the next few months. I am a huge fan of massages and have experienced standard massage and HE. Enjoyed of course, but when I visit again, I'd be curious to see someone who advertises and delivers a more focused massage on the penis. Slow, edging, milking, teasing, etc. Does anyone know of an individual masseur or spa that might fit this bill?

The other day I had great visit to Sanctuary Spa by A in Bangkok. It's another of the smaller/mid-size shops. Good massage. Great masseur. Fantastic time. Highly recommend. Sanctuary Spa is in one of the City Court buildings just of Rama 4. https://goo.gl/maps/wAfN1LRc9bm There are a couple of other massage shops in the same overall complex(Candle T; Sabaidee). To get to those other shops you enter the garage/car park and they are on the right. To get to Sanctuary Spa you go past the garage entrance (as you are coming from Rama 4) and take the first side street on the right. The entrance to the shop is on the right. There's a sign. You walk through a jungle-like agglomeration of plants, which is cute and certainly makes the place a bit more discreet. I had not booked ahead. 7:30 on a weeknight (of a holiday week), there were about 7-8 guys available. Around the same time I showed up two local customers were also there. I think that is the typical customer base, although clearly foreigners are 100% welcome. You select from photos on a phone. All good looking different types. I would say all mid-to-late 20s, but really, who can tell. The shop regularly updates who is available on Line. Line ID sanctuaryspa The very nice calm manager (A?) was more than happy to say who was "man/top," etc. That wasn't the most important thing on my mind, and I had forgotten my glasses, so the photos were a bit of a blur. Following the old rule for selecting wine, I chose the second to last photo. The rooms are very clean and modern. A bit on the smaller side. Very nice large shower and sink in the room. Linens very nice. Nothing shabby or run down about this place at all. I showered (alone), waited a bit for the masseur. As so often happens, he was better looking than I expected. Masseur fully clothed. I have a pretty standard routine for new shops. 90 minute aroma/oil. It's easy to fill a 60 minute massage time. 90 minutes the real skill comes out. I just go with the flow, let him take the lead and enjoy. I think the real downside of micromanaging a massage is that it takes him off his stride. This is particularly true with someone who is new to me. After the first time I think they are more comfortable and know me a bit and it's easier to say "less here--more here." There was possibly a little too much time on the calves, which is the curse of 90 minute massages. I almost said "enough already" but he moved on. After the lengthy calf rubdowns everything was much better and more balanced so I am very happy that I didn't say anything. Really, really happy. The massage was not rushed at all and then the masseur expertly and aggressively moved to the special stuff. Just great. I was actually a little bit surprised. The guy was either a really voracious sexual animal or one of the greatest actors of our time. Oh, to be young again. 90 minute aroma/oil is 900 baht. (60 minutes/90 minutes/120 minutes = 600/900/1,200 baht, I believe). I asked and the minimum tip is 600 for regular. For "special" it's 1,000 baht. Comparable to similar shops. You can buy a pack of five 90 minute massages for 3,500, which brings the cost down to a very nice 700 baht each. Of course I did that. Overall very happy and definitely belongs high on the list for repeat visits. Very nice facilities. Chill relaxed vibe. Good hard working masseurs. And there is a great street food scene all along the street leading up to the shop.

Came across this establishment. I have not found anything on it in the forum. Has anyone ever visited it? It's rather far from the centre and maybe that is why it hasn't gotten a lot of attention (located in Pinklao Pattana village area). Would appreciate your input! Their website http://gthai.net/atpinklao/ Line ID: pinkalospa Cheers!

Does anyone know a good massage place in Rio, hopefully in Copacabana? I have googled and found two places Spa H Rio: https://www.spahrio.com.br/ And Terapias Alex: https://www.terapiasalexlisboa.com/ But I have no idea about the quality but I want a good massage (without any sex involved, I get it somewhere else haha). Having a male therapist is helpful but not a requirement.

Details of some of the Massage places I’ve tried, or plan to try, during my current trip. Classic House Massage ——————————— Address: Tha Pea Road, Soi 4. Phone: 053 904 582 Web site: www.classichousemassage.net Directions: Easiest way to get there is likely to be Uber. Otherwise take Tha Pea Gate from Old City and head down Tha Pea Road to Soi 4 on right. It’s a couple of hundred yards down on left and fairly well signed. Although you can get to it walking North from Loi Khro Road, it’s a pain in the ass unless you have GPS on your phone and even then the splits in the alleys can lead you astray. Common Massage ————————- Address: 27/4 Hussadhisawee Road, Tambon Changpuak, Amphur Muang, Chiang Mai 50300 Phone: 062 252 2562 Web site: www.commonspa.com Directions: Easiest way to get there is likely to be Uber. Set destination for Hussadhisawee Soi 3. The Massage house is on the left side of Hussadhisawee Road about 20 yards past the junction with Soi 3 heading away from the Old City. Diamond House Massage ———————————- Address: The address on Facebook doesn’t appear current and the web site isn’t up yet. I will update if I find it. Phone: 053 272 437 Web site: www.diamondhousemassage.com (currently not working) Directions: if I find it I will update it. Marn Mai Massage ————————- Address: Chang Phuak Soi 2, Chang Phuak Rd., Chiang Mai Phone: 053 358 187 , 0897788385 Web site: www.marnmai-massage.com. (WARNING - The map on this web site has South at the top which makes it somewhat confusing to follow.) Directions: Easiest way is going to be Uber. If walking then take Hussadhisawee Road and walk up right hand side. A short way after passing Spicy Thai Backpackers take Changphuak Soi 2 on right hand side. Follow it until it curves and splits. Don’t take the immediate split down the back of the houses, walk the few yards to the front. Marn Mai Massage is 50 yards or so on your left. Mar Spa ———— Address: Sirimangklajarn Road Soi 3. Phone: 053 221 121 Web site: Supposedly www.marspa.net but this does not work. Directions: Easiest way is Uber but if you are walking, take the Huay Kaew Road (NW corner of Old City). Walk for about 600 yards, past Central Plaza Kad Suan Kaew until you hit Sirimangklajam Road. Walk down to Soi 3 on left hand side and then walk down Soi. Marspa is on the right and is signed as Mars (and not very well at that. If you get to House of Male (gay spa/sauna) you’ve gone too far. Of the other massage places, Sanctuary Spa appears to still be open (053 280 349) but no other details. 69 Club and Paradise Massage would appear to have closed recently. There may be others around but I haven’t found them yet and I think, as everywhere, they pop up and close down regularly.

I asked this a few years ago, but checking again in case anything is new. Ill be in Pattaya with my partner, where can i find some afternoon adult fun if i can get away on my own for a few hours?

Hi guys! Just new here I've been backreading on your posts, and a lot of them are very helpful. Planning to visit Bangkok very soon. I'm just wondering how the mamasans treat fellow Asians (like me). I'm young-ish and presentable and well-prepared to pay for any tips. I'm willing to give more than the usual if the experience is good. (Thanks for your posts, I know how much to give now). I'm just wondering if any of you have experienced discrimination of any sort. Like if the mamasans or the boys look at fellow Asians like at a lower standing? I kind of see that caucasians are like the ones looking really rich and powerful, and maybe they prefer those kinds of customers? Any fellow SE asians here? Thanks! Panther (rawr)

King Spa - Bottom Line: Skip It. In the process of updating my BKK massage review guide, which brought me back to King Spa, which is by the Bang Chak BTS station on the Sukhumwit line. Last year I had good experiences and good reports, and I've pretty much been a booster, although I recall one forum member reporting inconsistent experiences. My guy from last year is gone, so I booked someone different. Lest anyone think I only give positive reviews - this was not a particularly good experience. King Spa is a bit of a walk from the BTS station, but there's no traffic so it's quite pleasant. The house is fine. Massage room large, big mat on floor, shower in room. I was on time, but had to wait a bit for the masseur - typical BKK time. Not a big deal. If you don't book ahead based on pics you select from the guys in a room with a glass wall by the entrance. When I'm in "reviewing" mode I tend to be go-with-the flow, let's see how it goes when the masseur is calling the shots. In the first instance I think it's fair to judge a shop on their terms. I also usually start with 90 minute massages - just to see if the shop will fill the whole 90 minutes or do you often get cut short. Masseur wore sarong/pants throughout. The massage was ok, if a bit gentle, but I got the feeling pretty quickly that the guy wasn't a particularly well-trained or good massage (or maybe didn't care). Just basics. (BTW- lack of training or poor massage skills aren't the end of the world for me - enthusiasm will, for me, make up for a lot.) Not too far into the massage (20 mins?) he gave up on my back and legs and had me flip over. So the inner me starts wondering if we'll even get to a full hour, much less 90 minutes, or maybe he was more "let's get the massage over with and move on the the fun stuff" guy. A little attention to the legs then quickly starts massaging my junk. All well and good. I am happy. Then he switches to oral - very skilled. I am very happy. After a few minutes of that he lay down next to me and starts a very slow tantalizing hand job. I'm ok. This could be really great. This goes on for about 5 minutes and I am thinking to myself, "Very interesting, sort of tantric experience. I like." Then he falls asleep. Seriously. I decide I'm a cool guy; this is oddly intimate; I'll go with the flow. So I relax with him in my arms. I feel kind of proud of myself, because not everyone would put up with this. And I think to myself the prelims were really good, and surely it would all end happily, so ok. And isn't it great he's so comfortable he can just sleep. That's pretty much it for the next forty minutes. I slowly massage his back. All is right in the world He stirs. A little cuddle. And then he says "Up. Times up." Seriously. He tells me I can shower and goes off. I do shower. There's no tea or water or anything. I make my way to the door and pay and say I don't know where the boy went and give the manager the tip. Rather than complain at the time, which gets messy and language difficulties can easily make things worse, out in the soi I pop a quick note on Line saying that the experience was bad, the boy did nothing but sleep for 40 minutes, and no happy ending. Read, but no reply. For me that's the real problem. Everyone is entitled to bad day, and maybe a bad masseur (although this guy has been working there for a long time) - they're quick to respond to booking requests but can't be bothered to reply to complaints even with a simple "sorry you had a bad time, next time better" means a management problem as well as a masseur problem. Truth is had they responded to my note I probably would not have written this, but I would have stopped mentioning them as a place to go. So the good news is I get a pretty good story out of it, even if I do feel a but taken advantage of. The better news is that there are already so many other massage shops in town that I really like that I can cross King Spa off the list without worry, and direct my energy and budget to more satisfying places.

For my next trip to LOS, in October/November, I'm thinking of wandering a bit further than my usual haunts of Pattaya and Bangkok. I'm currently thinking of spending a couple of weeks in Chiang Mai. Anyone with experience there, can you recommend gay friendly hotels or resorts? Also, is two weeks too much? Would appreciate any recent experiences. Thanks.

Foot massage is a passion of mine. I love to get them, and Thailand is a good place for that. So today I was handed a flyer for ten per cent off by what seemed to be a gay business on Silom. Gay in that all of the masseurs were men. I was taken way back from the street to a darkened room, and told to go to sleep. I didn't exactly do that because within five minutes the masseurs hands were on either side of my genitals. That makes for quite a foot massage. But it was actually a leg massage, since I was wearing shorts. The masseur worked fair up the legs, often having his hand make contact with my clothed penis. This was a new experience for me, and soon we were alone in the room. Yeah, that got my attention too. But, shortly thereafter something occurred outside that got his attention, and he was gone a good ten minutes without explanation. So, I wiped the oil off of my legs and put my shoes on. Then the masseur came back with some tea that I declined. It would appear that the discounted one hour massage in reality ended at 45 minutes, I would say it was all a tease except for the fact that when the masseur was actually massaging, it was heaven. He really knows how to massage...feet.

Pricey, but consistently the best massages I've had in Bangkok. https://spabangkok.net Spa Bangkok - Silom Branch is a high-end spa and massage shop in Silom Plaza. It's on the 1st floor, in the back on the right. Arena is in the same building, on the 3rd floor. Last year I got the crazy expensive tourist package of body scrub + special tantric massage + aroma massage (2,400 plus tip). It was 2.5 hours of bliss (or however long it took). That package is still available. Highly recommended. This year I decided to pay the up front 4,900 for a "membership" which gets 4 "free" 90 minute aroma massages and then a discounted rate after that. The 90 minute aroma non-member price is 1,500. No stated minimum tip. (I essentially tip the same here as Prince. Prince get full naked sex, but here get professional massage, and I value both equally when done well. Maybe this means I may be overtipping here, I don't know or care that much as long as I stay under budget.) The Silom branch is the biggest of the spa's three branches. Most days they seem to have about 8-10 guys scheduled. You can select from a tablet or let the manager pick. It does a good business. They usually seem to be able to accommodate walk-ins, but advance booking is recommended. Because it's really more of a legit shop than, say, Arena, Prince or VCK, you should be going for the massage first and foremost, so I wouldn't get hung up on selection. They share the monthly schedule and also send out a daily update on who is working on Line, so if you do find a masseur who works the magic for you, you can easily schedule that way. That is what I do. When I first went back this year I didn't specify a masseur and ended up coincidentally getting the same masseur as last year. I thought he was fantastic and actually has a look I find very attractive, so good karma played out, I guess. Now I just book him. The facilities are very very nice - spa-like. Shower is in the hall, but you never see another customer on your way to or from the showers. Downstairs room has shower en suite. There are stairs. Masseur is fully clothed throughout, although I believe that if you book the "body-to-body" version of the "sensual massage" the masseur obviously drops the clothes. They told me the sensual massage is the same as the aroma massage. The massage is on a table. The tables are not particularly large, I noticed that there is a cut out for your face but I've never used it and at over 6'2" I don't think I would without my feet hanging out over the end of the table. But in any event I prefer a pillow. The massages here are not for amateurs. Unlike most of the massages at the more sex-oriented shops, which end up being more like oily caressing (not that there's anything wrong with that), Spa Bangkok massages are directly influenced by/of a piece with Thai massages. There's a lot of stretching and, in my case, a lot of hard work by the masseur in breaking up those knots in the back and shoulders. Truly no pain/no gain but they are well trained enough that they know how to support joints etc when stretching. I repeat - if you can't handle the good pain of therapeutic massage, this is not the place for you. One thing I noticed during the most recent massage was that the masseur did a really good job with integrating glute (butt) massage throughout. My masseur has a great friendly attitude, despite the inevitable nightmares he must have after giving me a massage ("Help! My hands are being sucked into a vat of jello!") My masseur has always left me very happy after the roller coaster of pleasure - good pain, so I assume a happy ending is normal fare here. So why is this better than Prime? I think Prime is the go-to spot for Thai massages (no expectation of happy ending). I like that the aroma massage here better because of the expanded repertoire - elements of Thai massage and Swedish. And I think the staff here are a bit friendlier and the facilities quite a bit nicer. For me worth the 3x expensive. But I don't go here all the time. Honorable Mention: "The Best Massage" in Silom Plaza. Also on the 1st floor this place is M4M, not at all expensive. 600 baht 1 hr foot + 1 hour oil or thai. Facilities nicer side of basic. Room with shower. Very large table. Can select from photo book or guys loitering or take next in line. Guys have that "just down from up country" look - quite dark skin, smaller-framed, wiry. I had one great massage and then one good massage but could have been better, but I think that guy was just too young and inexperienced. Happy ending. Very nice manager (woman). With Arena, Spa Bangkok and The Best you can pretty much experience the whole spectrum of M4M massage without leaving Silom Plaza. All three recommended for their particular market niche.

Hi all, Just curious about everyone massage rituals, especially those who really enjoy massage by male masseur. During travel, i usually try to include at leaat one massage session near the end of my trip, or of i travel with others, will try to fit in when other people are going shopping. My first massage were done in vietnam, and was only for foot, done in sapa. Then got a good body massage in indonesia near bromo. First gay massage during travel were in hk, 2 times, different day, out of my 4 day travel, and lastly my trip to bangkok/japan, got 2 massage in bangkok out of 4 days and 1 massage in tokyo out of 8 days. During workweek back at home, i started going for massage about once every 2 weeks, then once a week, and now i go twice a week most weeks lol. Once the proper massage and once mainly for the extra. Good thing the cost at my home town is still reasonable.

With difficulty, we found Prince Sauna last night. It's a nice enough place with a glass window to keep the masseurs from lunging at you. There were plenty of them, and they were plenty masculine. Minimum tip on an hour massage is 1000 baht. Oil or cream ran almost as much for the room. I chose Bee, who took me to the room and left me there while I showered. He then came in, showered, and my one hour cream massage began. The legs got the most attention, but soon there was massage in between them. Bee seemed to want me to show the goods fast, and I guess I did, since when we were finished only 35 minutes had gone by. He is nice looking, and got hard, but I am not sure why.

Spa Sathorn is an M4M massage spa a short walk from Chong Nonsi BTS station. It doesn't seem to get reports on this forum. I got there about 6:30 on a weekday evening and there seemed to be about 8-12 or so guys milling about. I was ushered into the front room and the manager was very nice and promptly showed me a tablet with photos to select from. I think overall the guys are typical for the larger locally-focused shops - better looking than average, but not all necessarily model looks. Mostly more manly types. There was no price list or menu - which may simply be that there wasn't one in English or that they just don't have one, or that they just didn't show it to me. I knew what I wanted so I didn't really care. One hour oil massage 700 baht. No mention of minimum tip. The facilities are a tad bit run-down/basic, but the towels were clean and large and nice quality, water in the shower hot. Massage table in room with shower. Shower alone before and after. The masseur entered wearing a towel, he dropped before starting the massage. During the massage he was naked throughout and used all the appropriate opportunities to let his junk rest/brush against me when he was giving the massage, which I like and wish more guys did. Massage started with legs, as usual. Paid more attention to butt/glutes than most. Very nice. Flip over and move to "special services" were excellent. There's a review on travelgayasia.com that says the masseur was more interested in his own happy ending than the customer's - in may case I would say it was more like 50-50 equality on that front, which was nice. (At some of the more high-volume shops I think the masseur will often try not to come so he can quickly go back into the pool.) There was no mention of a minimum tip so I gave I think 1,200 (1,000 for a basic 1 hour massage plus extra because I liked the extra effort he put in.) Overall I liked the place. It's not fancy at all. But, like Arena, is just a simple no nonsense place for manly men having man sex. I would recommend being extra clear up front what you are looking for at the time of selection (top/bottom/both). Location: I've submitted the correction to Google Maps, but note that travel gay asia and other maps seem to have the location wrong. It is on the first cross alley running parallel to the main drag, not alley 10.

Last night we went to Arena sauna because I have liked it in the past. There was no sign to direct us, but we knew it was on the top floor now. The newer space is okay. I picked a guy named, I think, Gaay-ow. Not especially built, but nice looking, nice smile. His massage began with the left leg. Occasionally there would be a stroke near the butt, but the leg was getting such a massage that I took his hands and placed them on the other leg. He misunderstood and thought I wanted them on my butt, which I did, but just not then. I went with the flow and he gave me a super butt massage. When I came half-way or so through the hour, I thought the massage would be over, but he kept going. A very nice boy. He did not cum or even get hard. He showered me well, then I gave him 1500 baht. He did not look at it, at least that I could see, but informed me that if I came back, he was there for me. The bill for the house was 460 baht. The husband had such a different experience. He, too, got the lengthy leg massage but with no hint of more to come, so he aborted rather than do what I did. The boy did offer to get him another boy, which was declined. I returned to the.lobby to see a frustrated hubby whilst I was all smiles. He did not tip nor was it expected. I might note that his guy was my first choice. I asked the mama san. If I should keep looking, or was this boy really good. He declined to answer, which should have been a hint. The boy was short with washboard abs and a nice smile. I wouldn't have aborted, but he did, which leaves me at My Hero writing to you. I would say that I very much did not like the mama-san, but it was neither here nor there. He is a fuctionary.

Happy new year to all! I'm actually heading to Osaka and Kobe in Feb and wondering if there's anyone who knows about the massage scene there (if any) and if the services provided are same as those in Bangkok? Looking to hear some tips! Thanks

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows of massage places in Yangon with male masseurs. Will be visiting Myanmar in Jan. Any insights would be appreciated!
