I don't know about Saunas, as I have never been. Not some place I think I would really enjoy. Maybe in my younger days, but way out of my league now. lol. So far, THB 500 seems to be the standard off fee to the club/bar if you take a guy out. The rest is something you negotiate directly with the guy. Others on the forum are far more experienced with the negotiations than I am, but I aim for no more than THB 1500. Most will start at a higher request but seem to quickly come down once they realize you understand the game and are not a newbie...so to speak. Massage rates vary depending on type of massage and duration. In general, I think you can get a 60 minute aroma/oil massage most places for between THB 400-600. I have noticed that some shops even have 'happy hour' prices in Silom. Many of the shops also list a minimum tip for the therapist. If it is a legitimate shop, the tip seems to be very minimal. The S-type or #2 shops seem to post a slightly higher minimum tip. I think it is possible to walk away from these shops easily paying THB 1000 or less. The SS and H type shops (#'s 3 & 4) are definitely going to cost you more. The massage itself might not be more expensive, but tips are higher, plus negotiations take place behind closed doors...so to speak. bkkmfj2648 1 Quote
