Marc308 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 7 hours ago, sydneyboy1 said: Has anyone been to Arena lately and if so what was your experience? Yes I've been there recently. My experience was good altho the menu was a bit limited when I visited (maybe 8 guys available?) (at 6pm on a weekday) The manager is helpful if a bit intrusive. Services were good but not of the highest caliber, in my opinion. Room prices are moderate, and reasonably clean. The showers work. It uses the old style (no reservations) which seems to be disappearing in many of the more upscale venues (like Jey Spa).

Verchiele Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 LOL! That is Ryan Reynolds, probably his off fee is 5000 bahts? Very expensive. all kidding aside, their website isnt done it seems as is typical with 99% of massage shops in Bangkok.

Yes it's true that walk-in at Jey Spa is possible but the manager makes it clear that this is not the preferred method. I think this is because it seems that most moneyboys don't want to hang around the shop for hours on end hoping for a customer. It makes sense. The boys save time. The shop (probably) saves space and money. The customer is more(?) likely to get what they are looking for, perhaps. Although it is admittedly difficult to decipher from a still photo. For me bearing and attitude make a big difference. I've run in my loong life into many Muscle Mary's where "tops" are really bottoms, and "bottoms" are really equivocal.

If you join their LINE feed - you will get several updates per day of all of the sexy guys @glamspabkk When the manager would not let me photograph the 1st floor sexy glass room where the guys stand posing behind the glass wall - like in an aquarium - I understood that he wants to keep a low profile from prying eyes - perhaps until the proper envelopes are given to the appropriate BIBs ?? vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on @Marc308 Also, many of the guys are working multiple shops as freelance - so in this way they do not need to be "ball and chained" to one single massage shop. Ironically, here in Pattaya - the guys just sit in front of one single shop melting in the hot sun for like 8 to 10 hours per day - I just don't get it. If I were to be a massage guy - I think that the BKK model is much more healthy for the guys - inside a nice air conditioned shop instead of sitting outside in the boiling sun...

bkkmfj2648 Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 I see in today's LINE update that GLAM posted their current price list - which includes the new Hot Stone treatments. I reported the wrong price in my above report as 1,750 baht for the 90 minute fee for the 4 hands massage. Instead it was 1,790 baht - old age on my part. And then the manager told me verbally, what was not shown on the below price list - the minimum tip to be paid to each guy, 1,800 baht - which included all of the fun up to level H* as stated above. * level H includes anal sex with penetration I would imagine that the price would change (be less) if level S (hand job only) or level SS (everything but anal sex with penetration - what the Thai guys that I frequent commonly refer to as "outside only activities" = no penetration {or attack as they refer to}).

khaolakguy Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Being pedantic........and with skin over sensitive to cheap oil, it looks like the difference between a 90 minute Aroma Massage and a 90 minute Clarins Aroma Massage is 1,000 Baht(1,290 vs 1,990)! Perhaps you get a super dooper Clarins room thrown in as well. Anyway thanks for posting all the details and Glam seems to be living up to its name. all power to them and going up market! pong2, vinapu, bkkmfj2648 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bkkmfj2648 Posted September 6 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 6 48 minutes ago, jason1975 said: I never knew they had these terms - level S, SS and H! neither did I until I subscribed to the Twitter (X) and LINE Massage Insider forums - several forums run by Thai moderators - all in Thai - where the theme is primarily 100% about massage shops and massage guys throughout Thailand - with the biggest emphasis on Bangkok - of course. By making friends with the local gay Thai guys here from the Dongtan (Jomtien) gay volleyball - where some of them work "freelance" via the Hornet app - an entire new world was opened up to me - as they use a different terminology set to describe: Top -> for them can be Attack, Aggressor Bottom -> for them can be Receiver / Receiving Sex that excludes anal penetration -> Outside -> this one confused me for the longest time as I thought that they were always referring to sex outside - like on the shoreline of the beach after dark. -> they laughed at my naivety - they would tell me - no silly - Outside is sex outside of the anal sphincter So, learning about the local culture and how they express these activities has been an eye opener for me. So, if you do subscribe to any of these Thai forums and use the AI auto translation feature - you will be exposed to these strange terminologies.... enjoy the journey....

Alsfca Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Thanks for writing about this place. In the last four days I ended up visiting this place 3 times. However, the 3 times I was there only less than a handful of guys were there. The good thing is that I signed up with their Line @glamspabkk and received pictures before I went. So I asked the manager about a guy that I was interested in and he was able to come in less than 30 minutes on Friday afternoon. On Sunday I Lined the manager and asked for a different guy and he was so cute that I went back to see him again today!!! One thing to note is that they tried to ask me to pay 990 bahts booking fee today beforehand. I said I was there twice before and never had to pay and they were ok with it. I am not sure if this is going to be standard practice or not. At any rate, I won't be able to pay using the Thai QR code they sent me. Judging from the Line pictures, they have quite a number of guys that I like. The rooms have en suite shower with a legit massage table. The two guys performed a decent massage first and then transitioned to the 2nd part. The massage was no Prime massage but it was decent enough. 90 minutes costed 1,300 bahts for the room plus 1,800 bahts tip for the boy. It is a easy 5 to 10 minutes walk from Sutthisan MRT station which is less than 30 minutes from Si Lom. Personally, I prefer this over Prince or VCK. I also like the fact that pricing is upfront and I hated to have to negotiate with guys! vinapu and khaolakguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear @Alsfca - thanks so much for the compliment. I am SO happy that you truly enjoyed GLAM and their offerings. I rarely go to BKK - and when I was there for my birthday - I wanted to do something new and different and that is why I ventured over to the new GLAM massage shop. 7 minutes ago, Alsfca said: Personally, I prefer this over Prince or VCK.

But, I agree with you - I like when the pricing is upfront and that you do not need to negotiate - as that process can sometimes ruin the eroticness (s?) and excitement of the to-be encounter. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
