First Time exploring Massage/Bar in Bangkok

Could you tell us something about the traffic situation around your hotel in Petchaburi Road? Few members of this forum stay there and so we have very little information in this regard. The one time I went to a hotel in the area (perhaps 20 years ago) was to meet a friend for dinner; he was staying there. And I found the traffic to be very frustrating.

I often stay in hotels along the Sukhumvit stretch, and the traffic is intolerable too. Grab drivers don't want to be around this area, so it's a bummer. Fortunately, there is the BTS line running the length of Sukhumvit Road and there is the interchange with the MRT line at Asok/Sukhumvit. However. the Petchaburi Road area has no rail transport (unless you're close enough to Makkasan and Petchaburi stations). Has it been a problem getting from your hotel to the fun places?

Unfortunately, the situation has not changed. The traffic back to the hotel is quite bad during day time as it would often have a jam. Hotel name is Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium. There is shuttle bus to Petchaburi station but it is not frequent so I might need to walk to the MRT if I miss it. Like what you mentioned, if I wanted to get on BTS, I would still need to change trains at the interchange at Asok. I ended up grabbing quite a lot, and the next time I go to Bangkok (hopefully soon), I would prefer to stay near a BTS. Personally, I would not stay in Petchaburi area again =(.

😒 Always good to have these first hand reports. Crowd-sourced info with multiple data points always useful.

You said "two of us". Why was the other party disappointed? 

 

We both had disappointing massage and afters.

To be fair, he said 'disappointing  massages..'

Two of us went to Prestige recently but neither of us will be going again. Disappointing massages and afters. My masseur acted shocked at the very idea that he might take even his shirt off, let alone anything else, towards the end of my massage!

Oh dear, can't imagine how disappointed you must've been. You were expecting a pearl necklace but he clutched his pearls instead.

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?

Yes, that is  a typical experience. I find that all the masseurs have their own style when it comes to to B2B. Some even joined you in the shower later.

Just to be clear: minimum tip for HJ at Ssense is 500+, whereas B2B is 900+, for normal massage it is 100-200. As always you can add a little to the tip if you’re very satisfied with the service.

He probably said "body to body". As @Enchanted_Elixir said, 900 baht is the going rate for B2B. That's usually as far as S'Sense boys would go. 

[Tomontheroad]

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

I think at Prestige, it is more high end and some of the therapists don't provide extras...I had a massage once at their sathorn branch. The massage was one of the best I had but the guy strictly don't provide extra. On the other hand, the other therapist I had was far more amenable but he suggested asking the therapist before the massage starts so that they can allocate enough time for the extras. But too bad the line admin won't tell you any information on the therapists...

Try Green and/or Avarin massage on Surawong. HJ or more is not guaranteed but chances are fairly good. Also, mostly decent massage skills in both places.   

Pick one you like, tell him foot massage, unless they prefer oil massage, they'll get the message...if they say oil, they know what's up, and if they say foot, they also know what's up and don't want to , lol

Some of the guys think we're first timers and hit with a high number up front for a hand job, like 2000-3000, DON'T say yes right away, I say 500 for HJ and 1000 for everything....it's up to them. The majority agree to HJ, some will go for the 1000, I've had a few not get hard or were very small, not that I'm I'm a room size queen or anything 😝

I almost stopped reading, right there..... 😝

but it stayed interesting, 900 for the extras described sound well worth it 👍

Thanks for sharing your experience at TCS @RavenFlock.

I wanted to try the place in my last trip but didn't manage to. I'm surprised that the minimum tip is a lot cheaper compared to others (including Arena), especially when the guys are that hot.

Can I ask whether they explained the sex role of the guy you picked when you were doing the booking?

TCS Spa is an SS place where you’re not supposed to be offered penetrative services. Naturally admin won’t inform you of their role. That of course won’t prevent you from being offered it, as was clear from the review…

if you read the review:

»Halfwaythrough, he told me to keep this a secret as they were not supposed to have anal sex with customers and he would get into trouble if found out.»

Ah alright, got it. Thanks!
