Discretion is necessary , I learned it from boys over years, other boys may be jealous and / or ask for a loan seeing he got money and mamasan may ask for her cut whether deserved or not. I can name at least 3 boys who changed venues because of that. Sometimes it's cut throat  world out there in bars

This is a very good point, V. Perhaps we underestimate just how cutthroat it can be. Never forget that we, after all, are dealing often with the Thai bar mafia. Besides the mafia influence itself, it is corrupted police who keep these places alive and can close them in an instant if they don't  get their "tea money".

Like V, I prefer to support the working boys instead.

There's still airlines that you get status by miles flown and not by spend amount , lol

Yes, Alaska Airlines still has mileage based status although next year members must choose to earn status by miles flown or money spent on flights.

Most of the members of One World,  which includes Alaska, are moving  to, or have moved to, a revenue based system.

Prince , Arena and Senso are all solid picks, but be aware that they are full service places (H). If you want massage first and something that does not involve penetration, then Ssense, Prestige and Wabi Sabi are other choices in the area, but of course you might get lucky there too.

Are Ssense, Prestige and Wabi Sabi the kind of stores where there are many guys to choose from or are they by appointment? I kinda like the concept of having my pick.

I know Ssense and Wabi Sabi can handle walk-ins, but bookings are strongly advised for the popular boys. They have updated pictures on Line. So Line chat is the easiest method to book…

I only have Prince Massage’s line. I’ll go search for the other ones now before i land.  So many of these massage shops have defunct websites that aren’t updated regularly.  I wish there was a consolidated thread in the Bangkok forum listing all the most reliable contact info and Line accounts. On the Japan forum i found the list of providers in Tokyo to be very helpful.

The Prince is primarily a walk-in place so Line is mostly unneeded. I will send you the Lines of the other two.

Thank you so much.

no, why? I always since  days of Roman Empire tip waiter 20 baht for bringing me a drink in bar. I always advocate that  generous tips should be awarded to boys , not a waiting staff or mamasans

If you off the waiter, they will probably get significantly more than 20 Baht. And they would likely have very much earned it.
