Thank you.

They asked me and i was assigned a guy.

Hi guys, I’m in Bangkok again after many years. Thanks to recent trip reports, I have some ideas of things I want to do and I went to Prime massage to get a legitimate massage with a guy (my preference). They are booked until January 4, so I made a booking. But going into the soi to Prime, I passed several other places. One I think is called 9teen, and there were at least two or three others with guys outside calling to me. Has anyone been to any of those other places? If so, would you mind sharing your experience? I am looking for a legitimate massage but don’t mind getting extras. If any of you remember the Ambassador, it was one of my favorite places to go for massage because I could get both a good massage and get off. Sadly, that’s no longer there (and since I’m staying in Silom, I’d prefer something closer). Wishing you all a happy new year with hopefully lots of fun!

Yeah, that's what it looks like. When I went, there were not many guys to choose from because it was a legit massage (I also got a body scrub). Not sure what the staffing issues are. But it's an option if someone wants to try it.

Heads up if you do apply for an e-visa - apply well in advance and check all of the information on your visa. I went to the airport this morning for my flight and they would not let me board because the expiration date for my passport that was printed on the visa did not match what was on my passport. I believe it was a mistake on their end, but I didn't check it when I got the visa. I looked at my name and passport number, and just assumed everything else was correct. Well, don't assume. Apparently, this has happened to others. I had to rebook my flight, go to the Vietnamese Consulate and get a letter (they cannot correct an e-visa) and will go back to the airport again tomorrow to try again. At this point, I don't even want to go to Vietnam, but I've paid so much for Airbnbs, flights, etc, I will try to have a good time - if I make it. Super frustrated. Trying to get help is impossible. My passport expires on 8/26/33 and they wrote 8/8/33 - what difference does it make? I checked the application and it's a drop down menu, so there is no way I entered it incorrectly.

Exhausting. One of the best trip reports I've seen on this forum and they are still arguing over such stupid shit. It's ridiculous.

Ugh, guys, why is there all of this bickering that is unrelated to this trip report? @Revengeboo, thanks for an amazing report. I really enjoyed reading it!

Good to know. Thanks.

I searched the forum to try to get more information on Prime Massage. I'm wondering if the masseuses are all male. I like to get legit massages when in Bangkok, but prefer men for obvious reasons, but also women tend to make me feel uncomfortable because if it's going to go in a naughty direction, I'd much rather it be with a man, and I find some women have to work too hard on my stiff body and it ends up hurting. I prefer big, fleshy male hands (as well as other body parts)...but I digress. Can someone provide more info on Prime Massage? Why type of place is it? Any tips for a satisfying experience? I'll be staying in Silom, so it sounds like it's convenient.

This one looks like it's in the same location, but I don't remember it being called Vintage (I would have remembered that). Also, it looks like they only have one masseuse. Sorry, I may have led you all down a dead end. Wherever I went, it was fun. Great massage services plus extras. https://www.vintage92.com/

Hmmm...that doesn't look like it. Maybe I got the name wrong. It was near Shin-Okubo station. It looks like this one is in Shibuya.

One good place I found for massage was Karada Men's Spa. It's near Shinjuku, at Shin-Okubo station (on the Yamanote). I went about 5 years ago. My first time, I called from the station and someone came and met me. Hot, muscle guys who all seem to be Korean. Lots of Korean restaurants in this neighborhood, so maybe it's meant more for Koreans looking for a taste of home? My first massage was with a guy I had met at the 24 Kaikan sauna a few days before. He was really hot and let me fuck him (even though I'm more of a bottom, a really hot ass can convert me So he gave me a good massage and then we fooled around. I don't think we fucked, but he got me off somehow. The next time I went, I chose a really muscular guy, but he didn't want me to remove his underwear. He did give me a happy ending but it wasn't as good as the first. The massage is top level, totally professional. If anyone has ever been to the Ambassador in Bangkok, it reminded me of that - a real spa but with extras. I think they had a website and you could see the guys, but I can't find a link. Here's a link to info on Utopia. https://www.utopia-asia.com/tokymasa.htm

Really enjoyed your trip report! Thank you for taking the time to share. I'll be in BKK in January, and will definitely check out S'sense.

Excellent! Thank you. I will definitely do this. Do you tip the driver?

There was a good post in this forum about massage places. It shouldn't be too hard to find since there isn't much activity here. I'll be going in December. Plan on starting with Grindr. I'm interested more in the food these days than anything else!

I kind of like this idea. In my advanced years I really don't want to argue with anyone. When I first started going to BKK, there was no expressway and no meter taxis, so it was always a hassle. May I ask how you book a car service in advance?

It didn't used to be that way. I haven't been going to BKK as often and the last two times I went, I just caught a regular taxi.

I might do that. I always felt like I had some secret insider knowledge. I also never had to negotiate fares with the drivers at arrivals, but maybe it's because of the surcharge.

Years ago, when I was going to BKK regularly, I used to go up to arrivals and catch a taxi that was dropping someone off. They seemed to be cheaper, but it was a while ago, and now I don't remember why I was doing that 🤔

I'm getting ready to go back to Bangkok in January, after several years away. I've always taken a taxi to from the airport - even back when there were no meter taxis and the whole thing was super annoying. And there was no expressway, so it took forever. (Yeah, I'm that old.) I'm wondering if it still makes sense to take a taxi. Personally, if it's not a whole lot more in price, and it means I get to just sit and enjoy the ride, wouldn't a taxi be better? Or is there some reason why I should avoid taxis?

Thanks. What would be a reasonable amount?

My visa didn't state any points of entry/departure. I wonder if this still matters. They do ask on the application, but it is not on the visa. Several people on a FB group I'm following are asking about this.

Thank you for sharing this. The process was simple. I got a multiple entry visa for $50. Applied on a Friday and my visa was approved the following Wednesday. I did freak out a little because I couldn't remember my registration number or whatever it was they gave me after I completed the application. But then I found a photo of it on my phone and also an email they sent me that I put in my "travel" folder. LOL - is it old age or smoking too much pot? Anyway, the process was easy. Seems like you used to have to go to a consulate for a multiple-entry visa, but I'm glad I was able to do it all online.

I'm heading to Vietnam in December - Ho Chi Minh City and Ha Noi. I'd love to hire a guide in each place for a day, so I will definitely be in touch. Can you advise on tipping? Are tips expected? If so, what's a normal range?

I met quite a few tops in Taipei. Not moneyboys. I met one guy with a huge cock. We fucked each other. Taiwanese guys are very hot.
