I seem to rememebr it being about 220 - 250 on the Friday and the Saturday evenings, but cheaper on the Sunday (maybe 130). I can't be sure about these numbers though. Location wise, it's correct on google maps, so just over a km south of the Lee Garden's area. Very walkable.

Yep - that must have been what he offered. I didn't know the minimum tip of 500+ for HJ, and 900+ for B2B. now I know

Update from me. I went to S-Sense this evening to give it a go. I booked via Line. My masseur, Aek was lovely. Cuter in the flesh than in the pics, and friendly too. I took a shower first (in the room) and we began. Even though I was face down, I noticed that he took his shirt off. He did a good quality massage. Then, he turned me over, "aroused" me (which wasn't difficult) and asked me if I wanted somthing or other. I didn't understand what he said, despite asking him to repeat it, so I asked how much this extra thing cost and he thought for a bit and said 900, so I said, "OK, sure", at which point he promptly took the rest of his clothes off and climbed on top of me for some cuddling, licking and wanking. All very nice. He then showered, and returned to massage my legs for another 10-15 minutes until the 2 hours was up. I showered while he fetched some tea to the room. I wasn't sure if this 900 figure that I had aparantly agreed was in addition to the standard tip or not, so I offered him a 1000 baht note to gauge his reaction and he seemed very happy, so now I know. (Perhaps he had expected me to negotiate that 900 down a bit.) So that was my first experience of S-Sense. Is that typically how things go in a place like that?

More good options - thanks. It looks as though I'll have plenty of time to try a few of them - I'm booked to fly to London tomorrow night, but it's with Qatar Airways, so realistically it'll be several days / weeks before I'm flying back.

thanks Enchanted_Elixir

Good advice Maracroni21 - thanks

Hi Ravenflock - thanks for the detailed reports. To all "experts" I'm in a similar position in the sense that I know Bangkok fairly well, but not the massage scene. I go to the saunas where I sometimes meet a guy (increasingly rare as I get older, but that's to be expected) and I sometimes meet guys on apps too, but I'm new to the commercial side of things. I do like good massage though, and I figured it would be good to combine masasge and fun. What has stopped me up to now is the feeling / assumption that guys in a "proper" massage shop who give quality, trained massages are unlikly to play around and the ones in the sex-oriented places don't really know how to give a good massage. I'm beginning to think that there is indeed a good middle ground where I can find both. I'm not looking for "H-Type / inside" places, but ideally somewhere that I can choose a guy that I fancy and be pretty sure that I'll get a quality masage and the offer / expectation of a handjob to finish. I presume that the full-service places (H) price their tip expectations higher, but it's not really what I'm looking for anyway. I went to S-sense a few years ago for a proper masasge and that finished "happily". Any other suggestions, ideally near Silom? What about the various places on Silom 6?

I was in Hat Yai last week and I can confirm that the Elysium sauna is very much running. The owner told me he opens on Thurs, Fri, Sat & Sun. I went on Friday evening which was fairly busy and again on Saturday which was packed. I was the only farang there both times, and I would guess that the rest were a mix of local Thias and some Malaysian weekend visitors. As expected 90% of the guys had no interest in a mid 50s white guy, but they were polite and friendly about it rather than hostile. The other 10% provided ample opportunities to have fun, especialy in the saturday "naked zone" party. The place itself is nice - clean, decent facilities etc. The location on google maps is correct, but the entrance is on a little back soi that's not very clear on the map, so walk around the corner and you should find it.

I found that there are two "gay bars" in town, but neither of them were busy when I was around. There's the New Guy Bar across the road from the Standard hotel. I had a drink there and there was one other customer, but the barman was chatty and the atmosphere seemed relaxed. There's also "Buddy boy bar" (correct position on google maps). This is aparantly newly opened, and when I went there for a drink I was the only farang customer . There were 6-8 local guys sitting at a table on the front, and I think that at least some of them are "hosts". it was mid-week, so perhaps it is busier at the weekend.

Yep - the pin drop is correct. Just walk along the road and you can cross the railway tracks easily.

Hello all, Newby here. I was in Hua Hin recently, and was approached on Grindr by a guy working in a massage shop. I decided to visit, just to take a look from afar to see how it was and I liked what I saw so I gave it a go. There were 2 guys and 2 girls there at the time doing foot massage for a variety of customers. It looked good and professional rather than an out and out sex-place. Both guys (including the one who had approached me on grindr) seemed quite cute, clearly gay, and rather flirty when they saw me outside. I took a 90 minute oil massage which was better than I had expected and was offered "special" at the end, (which I certainly had expected jusdging by his flirty smilies). The place is called K&M Healthy Massage, and is just to the south of the train station - walkable from the centre of town. I'd certainbly go again. I thought I'd mention it in case anyone is heading there and likes a decent quality "normal" massage with a happy ending, and was wondering if there's anything in town.
