Members Popular Post young11 Posted January 10, 2023 Members Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2023 There are a lot of questions from beginners because the information on massage shops and other places are all over the forum and sometimes the topic changes and covers too many things not directly related to the topic so it is very hard for newbies to find the right information unless we read so many pages here and there. So i want to collect all the massage shop reviews here, but only in Pattaya and in 2023 so that the information is new and useful. So please try to keep this thread only about reviews and not deviate from the topic (with other things like your sweet old memory from the pre-covid times...) Strictly about massage shops in Pattaya by people who visited in 2023. I will put a sample review after this. floridarob, Mavica, sydneyboy1 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Popular Post young11 Posted January 10, 2023 Author Members Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2023 Soda Massage Jomtien review I went there following a recent review by a member (sorry i cannot locate it here). The place is located in the jomtien complex where all the bars and massage shops are. It is on the corner and one can locate it on google maps. Boys quality: Boys were sitting in front but many of them are flamboyant (more of?) bottoms, who are not my type. I do like more masculine and muscular guys so keep that in mind when you read my reviews. Many of them were not my type, some decent looking faces but the body is slim...But the oil massage is only 300 baht, so I wanted to try it. In my opinion, the boys quality is quite low (for my likings). I passed this place three times to check the boys, I would say in all three times, I had hard time finding the guy to hire. Ambience: Overall it was not the cleanest place I have been to in Thailand. The toilet had a poo smell, probably because the guys were cleaning before I came. It is that smell. The toilet and shower are together but I didn't use them because of the smell. The room is basic, no place to leave your phone or stuff. Usually the bed has a basket under but nothing in the rooms. The ac was not working, the fan was not working, so overall it was hot. Massage Quality: The guy I chose was probably new, so the massage was not good. Very soft touch, no pressure, no tension. Not getting close to my groin area etc. Overall, I was really disappointed The rest: Of course, you know what happens toward the end. The guy took off his clothes as soon as I touched him but the body was slim. He was not very active but let me touch him without any limit. I gave me a head but it was a beginner's head. Yet, I enjoyed it because he didn't know what he was doing. Anyway tipped him 500 and he seemed quite happy about it. a side note: there is a place on the other side of the street. I don't know the name. When I passed through it three times. there was a guy who was semi-muscular only one time but didn't hire him because I was on my way back from a massage at a private place I found on grindr. vinapu, Rent Boy, tm_nyc and 8 others 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Popular Post young11 Posted January 10, 2023 Author Members Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2023 Relax massage in Pattaya This place is close to the Boystown in Pattaya, on the main road, close to the intersection where the baht bus to Jomtien starts. It is right next to the turkish restaurant on that corner. You can find it on google map as well. Boys quality: I wanted to try the Sea massage, again from a recommendation here somewhere. But I didn't like the guys who were sitting in the front. I passed the Sea massage multiple times and also at the closing when almost all of the guys were outside chatting before heading home. So I was quite certain that I didn't have anyone of my type. I was a bit disappointed but when I passed the Sea massage, I saw some decent looking guys sitting in front of a place called Relax massage. They are dressed in black (pants) and white (t-shirt) and all looked quite nice. Most looked quite straight and that was actually the case after talking to them. I think the owner (a lady in the picture on the google map) has a good taste in men so she got some decent looking guys. Either way, oil massage is also 300 baht only so I thought I won't lose much so I decided to try it out. I was shy to choose the guy but one of the guys was very active and came up to me immediately as I approached the place. He had a decent look and body so I accepted the offer. Ambience: The first floor is for foot massage, so if you are unsure of which boy to choose, you can have a foot massage and check who is available. Everyone will come and go through the first floor so you will see everyone after one hour haha. The second floor is for thai massage where each bed is separated by curtains, so less privacy. I am guessing it is hard to do anything extra there. The third floor is for oil massage and you have cubicles. No shower in the cubicle but the third floor has the shower and toilet together. I find this place clean overall. Massage quality: The usual (high) quality you get in Thailand, so I was happy with the pressure. The guy touches literally everywhere and was very thorough, so I liked the massage itself. The rest: He obviously wanted to offer extra but he couldn't get hard. He said he just finished before me but I said then why did you take me so actively. He said he can take a pill and get ready in 20 min if I book another session. I was not going to waste time and money for him anymore, so I thanked him and told him next time. On my way out there was a good looking guy setting another room. I asked his line secretly before heading down to the reception. At reception I paid and gave the masseur 200 baht as a tip because nothing happened. I usually give 100 or 200 at normal places depending on the mood, but was not sure if this sort of places expect higher. He seemed quite happy that he got a tip. Next day, I texted on line that guy I chatted briefly on my way out. He has a really sexy face, slightly slimmer than I would like but some slim guys have a nice shape, and he was one of them. But the face was the highlight. I booked him next day by asking him when he is available. And when I arrived at the set time, I texted him via line to make sure he would welcome me without the awkward stuff. He welcomed me and asked which massage I wanted, I chose the oil massage, we went up the room. His massage skill was pretty good as well and we was very thorough like the guy before. When i turned around, of course he made me hard and I started touching him. He asked for 3k as a tip, I just refused and offered 1500. He countered me with 2000 but I kept the same amount. I think 1500 as a tip in Pattaya is more than enough as I had many guys on the app offering 1000-1500 for full service visiting me. Even in BKK, I think the min tips are usually less than 1000, so I wasn't interested in paying more than 1500. He accepted immediately without fuzzing around and we had quite a bit of fun. The main issue was that he didn't kiss, which is a big turn off for me. It is usually the problem of straight guys and I was worried about it when I learned that the guys here mostly straight from Cambodia. Either way, for his face, I was happy to tip 1500 for once. Once only and if he came up with a better offer, I could have hired him again but without kissing, how much I was willing to pay went down dramatically. From the next day onward, he kept messaging me every day and asking me to come but it was not a good value for me anymore, so I kindly asked him to find someone else after a few days. He still texted me even after that A side note: At the end of the boyztown when you get to the main street, there is a massage place as well. I don't know the name but it is on the same area where the bars are. The guys were quite aggressive to lure me in but they looked quite old and worn out? I don't know how to describe them but I just dont feel the same energy that I felt from the young guys at Relax massage.

forrestreid Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Thanks for the reviews. I see that Paradise Massage in Silom Soi 6 Bangkok are advertising that they have opened a new place in Pattaya. Going by the picture, it is beside the old Happy Place Bar in the soi next to the main Boystown lane (Soi 13/3 or 13/4?). Wonder if anyone tried that out?

Wonder if anyone tried that out? answer is yes, but it's now new at that location , it was there already pre-covid in 2019. It's well appointed and quality of both boys and massage itself is good. Wit, one of their boys calls me ' my Casanova" and I can recommend him with clear conscience. I think it was him who told me that they will open new branch in Jomtien and if that's the case, this will be likely now location Paradise in soi 6 is advertising. Perhaps bkkmfj can confirm. reader and BL8gPt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokopelli3 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 There is one nice lad at Scandic by the name of Gun. He is about 35 yo and has a great personality and speaks good English. He gives a good massage and does everything except bottom. His fee for off premise massage was 1500; not sure what the tip is at Scandic.

He was formerly at Narcissus, then moved to Ambiance when Narcissus closed. Good to know he still enjoys his work. vinapu and BL8gPt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there have been some rumblings about a bad bathroom that can be accessed via the Paradise Massage for the customers in the nearby bars where there are NO bathroom facilities.

It's being used by Sunee Bar also. It's outside, not inside. When I asked I was told there are not actually any boys in there. The impression I was given is it's currently being used as a short time room for those small bars at the bottom of Jomtien Complex. vinapu and BL8gPt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiophilus Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 which reminds me, one thing in its favour that Scandic used to offer was the full-body foam "massage", but I suspect they stopped doing that some time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have all sorts of guys, some a bit butch and some very feminine, some 30 something and some 19 or 20 year old. I tried Alex and later on Nick who were both top for me and did a great job. Very sensual a lot of kissing and very much seeming to be into me.

However, he is the opposite to what Young11 is looking for as he is a slim twink who gives a sensual, as opposed to a strong Thai, massage. What surprised me when reading this thread is the relatively high tips being sought and, in some cases, received by the massage boys in Pattaya. I normally tip 700 baht in the Jomtien Complex, increasing to 1,000 baht when the service exceeds expectations. As far as I could tell, the boys seemed very happy with this level of tipping.
