Same experience more than a year ago... I think it's their business model. I lay there while he worked on my calves for 30 minutes just rubbing them, not even really massaging. It's the only massage where I have gotten up and left in the middle. Won't be back.

Nine-Teen is definitely a mixed bag and I have had more bad experiences there than good. Check out Relax a few doors down.

I always assume everyone has every disease ever imagined. I'm pretty sure I caught COVID last time from a masseur who was sweating a lot and in retrospect likely had a fever. I always play safe though sometimes it's really hard (pun..) to do that. I think it's safe to say that they are not compelled to have checkups and until there is some sort of government regulation (which would mean admitting what goes on...) that will never happen.

I can highly recommend the breakfasts at both the St. Regis and the Waldorf. Over the top fare with amazing service and views.

I bet they made it rain...

Haha I love that @reader!! I would much rather agree on 1000 and then maybe give another 500 or 1000 if my world is rocked... Did he tip you for the fun? 😂

If a masseur interrupts a massage to ask for a 2000 baht tip, not only is the price going down but so is my cock.

Exactly. I just carry 1000's and 100's and always tip minimum 1000 if special services (for me, not special for them haha) and throw in a few 100 more if they (a) don't discuss money during the massage and (b) provide above and beyond services (showering me, hug at end, generally happy environment.) I have been to the same masseur twice and had totally different experiences on multiple occasions. Sometimes the stars align and sometimes they don't...

I think 1000 at Green would send them over the moon. The guys on Soi 6 seem to be pushing to 1500-2000 on my last trip... I still owe you all a trip report! I asked him for 500 if I made him come.

The point is I could care less if he climaxes, has a nice dinner, gets a present from his girlfriend... I am paying for his services for 90 minutes and that does not entail me paying him to get off. If he gets worked up and comes, good for him, but this is not a lover, this is an employee, and I don't care if he comes. I know, it sounds harsh, but I just thought it was comical. "You do you, honey, I'm good over here." Having said all of that, I totally respect if a client likes to see a climax and is willing to pay for that specific service, so for those who are into it I guess his offer makes sense. But for those not, to me it was a humorous moment.😆

Definitely Green Massage can go spicy. Prime Massage? Not so much in my experience. But a great proper massage.

Yes, they are completely fluent on LINE and in person there's a guy at the front desk who speaks very good English. Unlike some of the other places (like KMAN) they don't try to upsell you more services (more expensive oils, longer session) and are very polite / customer service oriented.

The best shop I have found in Silom 6 is RELAX... they have great response skills on LINE app and the masseurs are all very friendly. Rooms are clean with shower and have GREAT AC which the others (like Paradise) do not. No fun sweating in a massage before all the action starts.

You're right, typo on my part... jet lag. For some reason you can't go back and edit a post already entered? I like the places that establish minimum tip up front... I don't like to interrupt the flow with a negotiation. But to me the funny part was he wanted ME to pay HIM to get off?!? hahahahah

Halfway through a massage at Relax in Silom 8, the masseur stops everything (I hate when they do that) and starts negotiating (which I really hate) and says it will be 500 baht extra tip for him to come. I couldn't believe this as I could care less if he comes - that is not my goal here - and asked him to repeat his proposal. He repeated it. I laughed and told him if he comes he owes ME the tip! He didn't come. I did. Don't you love a story with a happy ending?

And Mango Tree! Right next to all of the action, delicious food and great people watching (I might have a crush on the owner/ manager).... 11 am massage at Prime, then Mango Tree, then more massage after lunch.... have to order carefully so I'm not too full for massage!

I'll respond to my own message in case anyone is searching in the future.... I stopped by this week and the mamasan was very pushy. He asked what type of massage and I said "Oil" and he said "no, AROMA oil, much better, less sticky" and then demanded a "deposit" to reserve my slot 2 hours later... in an empty shop on an almost empty street at 2 in the afternoon mid-week. The whole place smelled like gin and regret (cue Beverly Leslie)... and lots of cigarettes. I ended up leaving and going to Relax, which will be part of my trip report I will write once this jet lag is better...

I'm here now and will be posting a trip report when I return home .... Im planning the day today and wondering if anyone has experience with M-Star massage?

We had two great dinners at EAT ME... gay owned of course and $$$ but not insane depending how you order. Lovely welcoming staff. Reservations a must. Everyone in there was gay I think haha.

Now that I am here in Bangkok it is going much more smoothly. I think the two issues were me messaging off hours because I was in the USA, and trying to book in advance. Now that I'm asking about same day or next day bookings it is going well.

I thought my question was pretty simple but I think it's the advance booking that is throwing them... I'll wait until I land in BKK. It's provided me some much-appreciated humor before the trip....

After wading through the hundreds of therapists at the dozens of spas and narrowing them down, it's proving comically frustrating to try to actually book any of them. Here are some examples: Kman spa: Me: what is the price for (name) Saturday 2 pm with vip room? Kman: OK Several days later, me: "Can I book (name) Saturday Apri 27 at 2 pm for 90 mins in vip room?" Kman: "The shop accepts reservations every day." (I'm finding this is an auto-response as I see it frequently with them.) Me: <name> new line <April 27> Kman: The shop accepts reservations every day. Me: silence Kman: Have you asked to reserve again? Me: Again? Me: (asks same question about booking Saturday, this time in Thai using Google Translate) Kman: (in Thai) The shop accepts reservations every day. Me: gif of Ryan Gosling confused at the Academy Awards Kman: The shop accepts reservations every day. *** Me: Same therapists every day or you have others? The One: Yes. *** Onespa: We chat on LINE app. (sends link to download app) Me: We are chatting on LINE app right now. Onespa: We are Sky Massage. *** And this one is my FAVORITE...🤣 Me: thank you for sending photos of (name). 52-54-56? TCS Spa: 34-24-26 TCS Spa: 1234 TCS Spa: 5678 I'm thinking I should just show up and see what a shop has?🤣

Londoner, many of the spas have accounts and you can add them as friends... they then send you their daily menu of therapists... sometimes twice a day!

With Bangkok 1 week away I find myself overwhelmed with all the choices that are flowing in hourly on my LINE app.... I am definitely going to return to a few of my favorites from last trip, but want to meet new favorites. I know reviews aren't allowed here but would welcome any DM's with your favorites. I promise to then post a trip report with how it all goes.😎 I am definitely going to try Kman but WOW they have so many therapists... I know I'm not buying a house, just 90 mins, but I'm only there once a year.... and all the choices are beginning to look the same. I find myself saying wait is that the same guy at Relax? Where is this spa? Going in circles... help a guy out....😘

Yes, and I hear the water at the massage shops is much sweeter...
