I am curious if anyone else has experienced issues recently with LINE.  Up until this week I was getting regular daily messages from multiple massage places in Bangkok.  It was not unusual for me to find 35-40 such messages that would come in overnight.  However, during the last four or five days I have only been receiving 6-8 daily...mostly from TK massage.  I tried clearing the cache for LINE on my iPhone, but that didn't seem to change anything.  Didn't know if other people had noticed a significant decrease in messages.   

Not entirely in line with the original question in this thread, but: I've been using Line to connect with local guys when I'm in Thailand, but I haven't used the option to get updates from massage places yet. Can someone explain what I need to do to get those updates? Is there a list of massage places that send updates via Line that I can subscribe to?

I don't know how other people add massage places to LINE, but I can tell you what I did.  I would click on links to different massage places that would be provided in messages on this site, but also on ShamelessMack2.  Usually the link will take you to a website, Facebook page, or X account where they will have their link to LINE posted.  Click on the LINE link and their QR code will appear.  Open your LINE account on your phone, then 'add friends' and scan their QR code.  I didn't really need to do anything beyond that to get on the daily mailing list...it just happened automatically.  Once I added them as a friend, I started receiving updates daily...that is until this week.  There is usually some text as well, but all in Thai.  

As for a list of massage places, I don't think such a thing exists.  From what I have been able to discern from this forum and at ShamelessMack2, massage places come and go, change ownership, and change locations.  This seems to be a normal occurrence in Thailand.  Other members may know of a list or a better way to utilize LINE.  I am fairly new to the scene in Thailand.  Been several times, but always traveling with straight friends and never had the opportunity to venture out on my own until August 2024.  Planning a return solo trip in October.
