Thanks guys... I am thinking with the weather so hot there is really no choice but to get massages all day when I am there...I'll watch movies on the plane! 😂 My final day in BKK last time I had 3 massages before my evening flight... I melted onto the plane and it was glorious...

I'm returning to Bangkok later this month and have never been during the super hot season. I'm guessing we will use more Grabs than we did when it was cooler, but am wondering if there are any other suggestions beyond the usual, carry lots of water, wear a hat etc. Specifically, I recall all of the massage places having aircon when I was there... but recognizing these are not 5-star hotels, is your experience that inside the spas is comfortable even when there's such extreme heat outside? Thank you!

Thank you @Travelingguy and @vinapu! I will report back after my visit later this month.

Enthusiastic, hard-working, and a great therapist with plenty of heavy artillery. Always smiling and definitely not just "going through the motions." I tend to prefer the 25 and up type, to each their own I say.

Looking for Mr. Goodbar...😂 Mr. B used to work at Paradise and they informed me he is no longer there. Has anyone seen him at a different spa? Thanks!

Did you make it up to Ubud at all? I'm wondering if the "devastation" is the same there.

The only surprise is that it was legal and so pervasive... we couldn't believe on Koh Samui all the vaping stores and marijuana bars. Over the top compared even to California.

A good reminder to stay safe, guys. Not worth it!

The "minimum tip" is much more convenient because you don't have to negotiate in the heat of the moment. Totally ruins the mood for me if they start negotiating while I'm getting heated up.

I private messaged you.

After years of marching in Washington and the streets of our big cities, this thread makes me so very, very sad that this is this persons reality in 2024. Sorry, I just had to say that, know I'm gonna get flamed... no pun intended...

Yes that makes sense... however if I have limited time in BKK, which I always do, I'm willing to pay more for consistent quality at a place like Jey Spa vs. roll the dice at S'sense. Ultimately they all hire independent agents it seems, and some have a better vetting process than others.

Glad S'sense worked out for you... we both had terrible massages there. I walked out. It shows the variability at these places and how I guess we can't make a decision based on one experience.

Go to Jey Spa and ask for Kiat. You're welcome.

Samui is a very small island. Somehow I was able to read that text, go in and have a wonderful time.

What Vinapu said. Even 9-TEEN in Silom6 said "no sex" when asked... if they advertise sex, they are a brothel. If they advertise massage, they are a spa. Remember, it is the land of smiles. and winks. (and twinks..) 😁

Yes, I would rather get 1 massage there than three in Silom6....;)

60 mins thb 2,000... 90 mins 2,700 thb. Recommended tip starts at 300. Full info here: https://www.emeraldgreensamui.com/

I also wanted to add we had a great dinner at EAT ME, which is gay owned and an institution there. High-end and amazing. And as long as I'm in restaurant mode, Vertigo at the top of the Banyan Tree is expensive but wow, what a view.... you can save money and go to Moonbar which basically has the same view.

I did not do oral. I think oral sex with condoms is horrible. I would rather have no oral.

Loved the St. Regis... stayed on points so it was free. One stop to Silom and paradise...

RE JJ at Jey Spa... he was my second choice... if you go back, try Kiat....killer body, smile, and an anaconda down below.

Samui is amazing and a quick flight from BKK. See my post about my fun there.

I played safe or safer as it's called these days, and had a great time. I figure these guys are with dozens of men from all over the world each week.... a great way to get a STD. But others are willing to take the risk or have fun and get the STD treated. Your decision. For me it was not worth the risk and now I'm back home from vacation and not sitting here worrying about my health.

I never really saw Mamasans... were they the guys who took the money at the start? They barely spoke English in most cases...so I didn't really try to get specific with them but can try that next time if you advise it.
