Looks like I'm done. Dr. Bear, Arena, and Magic Touch it is!!! But keep the thread alive guys for the benefit of others. I shall be posting a trip report as well after I've gone.

Thank you for your trip report! I'm so much more excited now haha! Glad you enjoyed the service.

Thanks for your insights everyone. Pong - yes I intend to book ahead especially for Dr. Bear (btw I was referring to the R3 branch of Dr. Bear and not R3 Sauna)... Vinapu - I think I will try Arena as I prefer muscular men. Has anyone been there recently to comment on the quality of the guys?

Wow! Hi vinapu, thanks for your response. I must say I'm a bit starstruck (haha!) Just a clarification I think the one in Ngam Duplee is Magic Hands... The one I'm referring to is Magic Touch (a new spa owned by the previous manager or Magic Hands)... Based on available info it's located near Sam Yan MRT station. Your tip in choosing a masseur makes a lot of sense. I will surely remember that!

Clarification: option © is the one I'm still undecided on. I'm pretty much decided on Dr. Bear and Magic Touch (unless of course your expert opinions could sway me) - - what I really need insight on would be to go for either Arena or Ninespa (or any other similar m2m place. Thank you again!

Hello guys! I'm a new member in this forum and for the past 2-3 weeks have been lurking on the various exchanges here and I must say I'm very happy with the level of support the community has for the newbies and their questions. I have been to LOS back in 2015 but it was purely a touristy trip. I was with a group of friends and we had our days planned from dusk til dawn so I had no chance to try out any of the massage places. So fast forward to now and I will have a 5 day solo trip to Bangkok and I intend to try at least 3 of the places I've seen from the bkkmassages blog written by an esteemed member of this forum, as well as from travelgayasia website. Of these 3 planned experiences I'd like the first one to be on my first day (A) , to "exorcize" the pre and post flight stress and to get me in vacation mode. The other one would be on the day before I leave (B) to relax me from all the walking, exploring, and various activities. The one in the middle of my trip © would not be too focused on the quality of the massage but on the man doing it as well as the various fun activities we could do. After my "research" I've decided on the following, except for one: (A) Dr. Bear (R3) - for their ObOon Massage plus the fantastic TGA reviews. I was wondering the opinion of the "experts" in this forum. © Magic Touch Massage (near Sam Yan MRT) - due to the well reviewed quality of massage as well as (not necessarily handsome in the traditional sense) manly masseurs. (B) *this one I can't decide and would need your guidance to help me arrive at a decision* I have 2 in mind: Arena in Silom for the muscular masseurs and Ninespa near Asok for the quality of masseurs. Looking forward to your picks and/or suitable alternatives. Also to give you context, I'm a different kind of farang in the sense that I'm of southeast asian descent and not a caucasian. On several instances I've even been thought of as either Thai or Vietnamese. Thanks in advance!
