First Time exploring Massage/Bar in Bangkok

[RavenFlock]

Hello, I am actually travelling to Bangkok today (23 Feb) before I came across this forum. I was trying to Google good massage places with extra services but am not sure which would be good and recommended as I hope to have a good experience as this is my 1st time exploring this area of Bangkok. My previous visits have been just regular touristy activities. 
 

I have tried reading the threads here but I am not quite familiar with the some of the acronyms used like ST, LT, H spa etc so I might not be able to understand fully some of the posts. For context, I am more into side/sensual fun (I like kissing haha) with someone hot/cute lol and penetration isn’t a priority, which places are recommended in this case? What would be the expected amount to tip too?
 

Is there anything I should take note of too? Do PM me if you have more detailed recommendations to share too. Thanks all in advance and appreciate your help.

ST (Short-Time 1-2hrs ) and LT (Long-time overnight or until breakfast) are terms used when offing someone from the bars or may also apply for Money boys from the apps.

For Massage shops - they are categorized as S(soft) , SS (super soft), H (Hard) depends on what the masseurs are known to be willing to do.

For Spas or Onsens - I have no idea hahaha because I don't go to them since I'm very body self conscious as I'm a bit of a chub.

Since you are more on side stuff I recommend searching the forums for Massage places like Prince, SSense, Senso, History of Massage, Jey Spa, etc. these places are mostly have masseurs hunks.

If you are looking for twinks then you can search the forum for Massage shops in Saphan Khwai..

welcome to the forum and welcome back in Bangkok

stay in Silom area as it has all you need, both bars and massage venues in close proximity. Lots of cute guys on display in front of massage shops along Silom , Suriwong and soi 6 connecting those two. Tips for massage boys 1200-2000 depending on venue and a boy plus massage fee , if you offing from bar count 2000-3000 for short time  plus drink for you and possibly for  a boy.

In bar under no circumstances admit it's your first time and don't yield to a pressure from mamasan (captain ) to buy him a drink or tip unless they were of any help for you. They are very skilled in such extraction, I'm of religion that only boys deserve tip for presenting themselves half naked but  waiting staff should be content with 20 baht  for bringing you a drink if that much. 

One thing is sure- you will have fun

Just tell the msmassns you are a regular visitor to Bangkok, and they won't bother you too much.

If they think you are a newbie, they'll eat you alive!

Yes welcome to the forum, I must say I always get the word flock wrong and say fuck 😕

I remember an English show back in the 1980's where there was a team of Can Can dancing women singing about flocking clicking plucking ,they were dancing can can style it was a UK show💂‍♂️,anyone know the name?

Oh please we are going back to the 80's surely I can't expect anyone to know ! !!!

As Vinapu says, Silom Soi 6 has a number of massage shops where the men are ready to deliver exactly what you describe. They will probably pitch for 2,000 baht in the room (plus around 500/600 baht for the shop for the massage). In all of the shops you can choose which man so don't get railroaded by their suggestions. Start the conversation early in the massage about what you really want so you don't get 45 minutes of massage and ten minutes of 'extras'. The men usually want to deliver a premium service as it gives them a premium fee. All the men have seen/done it all before so don't be embarrassed.

If you strike up a conversation outside in Soi 6 with a guy who particularly appeals to you, ensure that you tell him that you want him to be your masseur. I was approached once by a guy I found to be very desirable and he took me inside, where he handed me over to a masseur who kindled no magic in me at all. But I didn't want to embarrass that poor guy, so I just decided to grin and bear it and put up with rather a disappointing experience.

Sounds like you want S or SS type massage place though H places guys wont refuse a no penetration services. Kissing on the other hand, not always easy to tell who will do it, so if it is really important for you, mention it upfront to the mamasan at H place, and perhaps you will get one that is willing. S or SS place, the person in charge wont entertain question about extra services, so its up to the masseur, so itll be harder to negotiate before choosing

I always say 'you do massage?' to avoid being handed on

Sounds like Benny Hill to me

When they ask, if I’m interested I say yes, let’s go with a big smile.  It usually works.

Digressing slightly but I remember you posted some personal pics in a trip report (with face covered) and you are a very nice looking guy. No reason at all to be body conscious. I hope you will get to return to Thailand soon.

Thank you for sharing and the clarifications. I have tried to search the forums based on your suggestions and booked S’Sense and Jey Spa first haha. I hope it will be good as it is my first visit to these places.

Thank you, I only stumbled upon this forum recently so I didn’t know about staying near Silom area. My hotel was booked around Petchaburi in advance =(. Will take note to choose a better location hotel next time. Thanks for sharing, will provide the recommended tips you mentioned to the boys 😃

some may have different ideas  but I have habit of fixing  expected tip before hand, if boy doesn't quote anything , I ask them outright " how much you want"  . If they say ' up to you " , I tell them what I will give them. If they don't like  my offer I usually say " I asked you already and you told me , up to me". That settles matter .

Others may simply hand over money to boy at end of session , whatever they think is fair and that approach works too.

Silom is the most convenient place to be if you want to go to bars or clubs, especially if you intend to bring someone back with you to your hotel.

If it's massage parlours that you mainly have in mind, it isn't such a barrier to being further out of town..

Thanks @hank75, I usually stay away from Onsens because all the guys I see going in have nice bodies, I don't want to go there and stick out like a sore thumb.hahaha

Ohhh I already have my trip and stay booked 😁 👍 I will be arriving a week after Songkran to avoid the water flights.

Please note that Ssense is an SS place, whereas Jey Spa is an H place. Both of them are very good but adjust your expectations according to the type of shop!

[RavenFlock]

Hello, just to update that I had also booked TCS spa as the masseur I chose at S’Sense wasn’t free initially so I booked in TCS and moved S’Sense later. For all the bookings, I googled the place online and added their LINE to do the booking. Please bear with me as this is my first time writing but I had tried to include the relevant information where applicable. I will start with Jey Spa 1st.

Jey Spa Part 1

When doing the booking on LINE, the admin would send over a collage of many boys for reference. You can pick one you like and they will provide info like if he is gay, T/B/V. For 1.5hrs vip room is 1250, tip for boy is 2500. After booking, they would also send directions to the place.

 

The place was within walking distance from Phrom Phong BTS, and a bit obscure to find without the directions provided. It was like a shophouse like compound rather than a retail shop. Once entering, staff asked if I had chosen my boy of which I showed the LINE message booking confirmation. They also served me ice water and a wet towel while waiting.

 

Soon after, the boy came (will call him A). A looked somewhat like his photos, and was quite lean. A led me to a room next to the reception counter lol. I showered while he went out to prepare. The massage was a dry massage and we chatted most of the time as his English was quite good, about his life, travels etc. So I had learnt that he doesn’t know many of his colleagues and what the admin shows us (I showed him the collage admin provided upon request). He also told me that this kind of massage of sort of illegal but the owner pays the police a feee so they don’t raid the place lol. I was also told that the owner has another spa called glam spa. We chatted quite a bit like this throughout the whole massage.

 

When it came to the after service, he stripped naked and asked what do I want which I told him what I written earlier. He did ask if I wanted to bottom but I wasn’t in the mood. Therefore we just had side fun, sucked each other and some kissing and he gave me a handjob for me to cum. After that, I went to shower to clean up before he showed me out. I felt that it was an alright experience.

 

Jey Spa Part 2

On the next day, while browsing the collage of photos, I noticed a familiar face that I thought I saw before on rentmen. I went on rentmen to check and realised it was the same boy. Therefore I went to message him separately to book him. (Will call him B) For this we discussed and agreed on 3000 for 1.5 hrs, for him to come to my hotel. 

When we met, B drove to my hotel and arrived wearing tank top and jeans. IMO, B looked better than his photos (more handsome in person) and was more on lean musc side. He was smiling when he met me which was a bit better than A as A wasn’t as cheerful. He started with a shower before he massaged me on my bed. He stripped to his underwear, showing off his tattooed back and nice chest before starting. I was looking at him before I went lied face down lol. He used, I think Johnson baby oil on me. He asked about the  pressure I wanted, which I wanted it to be soft. During the massage we chatted a bit but not as much as A. He would occasionally play with my butt during the massage too. The foot massage portion was quite good as well. During the after service, he went naked and we started kissing while I played with his nipples. He also licked my nipples and sucked my dick during that time too. He took out protection & lubricant to apply on himself before he tried to enter me. However, I think he was too thick so he had to stop as he was worried about hurting me so he took out the protection and just continued grinding his dick at my hole while we kissed. After some time, we swapped positions and I went on top, this time, he successfully entered lol.(I am on prep btw). I told him to not go fast as it would be painful so he just fucked me slowly lol. After awhile, we wanted to change positions but I was afraid he might not be able to enter me easily again so B actually sat up and maneuvered me so that we went into missionary without leaving my hole. In the end, I came while he was inside me and jerking me off lol. I also noticed that the cost for this is actually cheaper than going to the actual venue.
 

I will stop here for now as typing the above took quite a lot of time and I am still in Bangkok..
