What's the logic of owners who prohibit? Why do they care?

Perhaps the police bribe is cheaper???

Private harem for the owner?

For me this misses almost the whole point. Furthermore, even in a case of combining both, we're all used to 1st theraputic and then sex. Why?

The best massage I have ever had was in Laos: the guy combined the two from the beginning; I climaxed about 40 minutes into the session; and he continued the massage for 20 minutes - relaxing me after the 'exertion' and allowing me to savour a sensual afterglow.   (-:

I have never succeeded in reenacting that; masseurs seem to not undrstnd the concept.   )-:

I agree, for me the guy was in San Francisco, I’ve seen him a number of times over the years.  I just wish he was closer.

@NL3456 Do you guys just bring a 3 liter pump in the room with you?🤣

🤣

No , 1/2 litre one usually suffices

I think for guarantee of what you want, and if money is no object, Jey Spa should likely be at the top of your list for your first time

I wanted to say the same but you were first !

It’s less about logic in the Western business sense and more about cultural legitimacy.

Many of the “S” and “SS” places want to preserve the identity of being massage establishments first. That allows owners, staff and customers to participate in a shared understanding of what the business is, without anyone having to openly acknowledge anything beyond that. In Thailand, preserving appearances and allowing everyone to save face often matters just as much as the written rules.

There is also a cultural distinction between the hard venues and the softer massage shops. They occupy different moral spaces in people’s minds, even if the boundaries occasionally blur in practice. Quite a few of the softer shops are owned or managed by women, who may be comfortable with a certain level of ambiguity but do not want their business identified with outright prostitution.

Buddhist monastic discipline has also shaped the cultural landscape, although not always in straightforward ways. Thai society has inherited a long tradition of drawing subtle distinctions around sexuality, discretion and public propriety. Whether or not individuals cross those boundaries in private is almost beside the point. The important thing is that the establishment itself does not openly define itself that way.

So the rule is not simply about preventing something from happening. It’s about preserving a social identity that everyone involved can comfortably live with.

Well said @Enchanted_Elixir... and then there are the places like Kmann that bascially put it all out there, like a menu at a restaurant. I'm glad they do but always surprised that they can.

Some brown envelopes involved, no doubt 😉

Perhaps leave the colour out , it could be defined as racist

Thank u ENCHANTED for the thoughtful answer.

Should I b ashamed of never hearing the name Kmann?

Do they really have an explicit sexual menu?

It's K Man Spa, if that makes a difference! Good website, close to BTS Saphan Khwai.

I turned my shame into action, looked it up, was dutifully impressed by their straightforwardness.

Any other parlours like this in bkk or pattaya?

Is this a geography thing? 3 of the 4 r clustered together...

And why isnt it more prevalent in the heart of silom (and pattaya)?

Because Silom is business district with a lot of middle class workers, massage shops with extras can be there but they need to present a more respectable facade than is the case in Saphan Khwai.

There are H shops in both Silom and Sukhumvit (Senso and Jey respectively) but they are fewer and more tucked away, than the sheer concentration of H shops at SK.

In olden times, Saphan Kwai was a smallish nightlife district with several go-go bars but these were mostly girlie bars with Thais as their market. Eventually a small number of gay go-go bars opened and westerners discovered it. From what I recall, it was never particularly popular - no doubt being so far from the Silom/Suriwong axis. Now the gay go-go bars all seem to have disappeared and it clearly has morphed into a spa hub.

Yes, Fafa massage is worth considering. It is in On Nut, which is quite a distance from Silom. You get the BTS to Siam, then change to the Silom line going to Kheha.

They are clear with pricing and whether the boys are top, bottom or both. There are boys on the premises, but you can also order off premise.

The rooms are quite basic, but that's not a problem for me.

Husband and I will be visiting BKK this November. Staying at a riverfront hotel. Looking for an upscale spa or massage studio for a "real" massage with sensual potential. Another option would be a guy who does outcalls. Thanks in advance.

Really? No doubt you noticed the police wear brown uniforms.
