Bangkok Short Trip Report - August

[Shax]

Hey guys,

I just came back from a short trip to Bangkok and thought I'd share a brief account of my experiences with the bars & spa. I was in the company of a few others, so my time exploring the bars & spa is somewhat limited, but hope it'll provide some useful info for others.

Part 1

Arrival

I arrived at DMK on a weekend and it was rather quiet. The airport itself is fairly small, so the total time spent from the gate to the exit was less than 15 mins.

FYI, apparently now you'd have to get your DTAC from the gov's app, THIM. It was fairly easy to set up an account and apply for your DTAC. At the immigration check, I wasn't asked to show the DTAC QR nor was there any enquiry about my available funds (which, apparently, may be asked randomly by the officers).

Hotel

I am a frequent guest at the Quarter Saladaeng but this time, I decided to stay at Ascott Sathorn (not Ascott Embassy, which is also in Sathorn). Right outside the hotel is Saint Louis BTS station, so quite easy to move around the city or to the bars in Silom. My booking also came with 2x BTS day passes, so that's a point.

The breakfast selection is not that different from Quarter Saladaeng but the gym is much smaller. Plenty of restaurants and cafes in the vicinity and no issues with bringing guys back to the room. There is a restaurant/bar at the hotel that opens early and closes late, in case you don't feel like going out.

Apps

As usual, plenty of guys available for hire on the apps but not as many as what I saw back in February. I'm not sure why but I guess something to do with the low season?. A few of them did reach out to me, quoting between THB 2000 to THB 4000 (yes, you read that right) but I didn't hire anyone from the apps.

Spa

I only tried one place during this trip: JeySpa.

I follow their Line account, so I always see the selection of guys available. I texted them in the morning of my visit for recommendations of boys and shared my preferences. A few boys were recommended to me and I ended up booking a 1 hour session with JJ in the Suite Room.

The rates I paid: THB 1250 to the spa (can be paid either by card or cash before the session) & THB 1500 to the massuer (cash only after the session). I was told that the rates for tips can go anywhere between 1500 to 2000, depending on the guy you pick.

I arrived at the spa a little earlier but JJ was already there. After a few mins of getting the room ready, I was led to the room. It was actually quite a nice room, much better than Arena's premium room (and a little pricier, too) with ensuite shower and toilet.

I showered first and when I finished, JJ came in and started the session. JJ is definitely muscular and has a defined body and huge dick. He was friendly during the massage, asking questions about me and my trip. The massage itself was alright (not amazing but not bad either).

After spending quite some time massaging my back and legs, he asked me flip. I thought he would spend some time massaging my upper body and front part of my legs but he went straight in for some nipple play (I was a tad bit disappointed but just went along with it). I told him that I was not looking for any anal fun at the moment and just some mutual light, side fun. He seemed a little lost and not sure on what else he can do other than let me play with his body (which I gladly did). I quickly realized it was becoming more of a one-sided session of me playing with his body with not much reciprocation from him. It didn't feel good for me, so I decided to wrap-up the session and just jerked off to a finish.

After showering and getting dressed, there was still around 15-20 mins left on the clock. I just wanted to head out, so paid JJ his fees and left. All in all, the massage was OK but I don't think I'll have a repeat session with JJ. Could very well be a chemistry or unclear communication issue but oh well.

Thanks for sharing your trip report! Chapter 6 massage is in the same building as ashton sathorn btw. Ive tried it 2-3 times before and always left happy. Most comfortable and warm massage table, muscular masseur, great massage and happy ending (YMMV)

some boys may and will ask for much more  but to Jey Spa credit  they always communicate clearly what boy will and won't do and whet his rate is, never issue there.

Unless shax failed to note such specification by the spa (highly unlikely), it doesnt seem like a "chemistry or miscommunication" problem.

JJ didnt want to do any HJ or BJ, or apparently anything beyond nipples. Assuming shax indeed "shared this preference" beforehand, assigning him an unreciprocating masseur is bad service.

I almost hired JJ last weekend as well. I am really glad I didn't. My experience at Jey Spa was also a letdown, and for $100 USD for 90 mins (tip and room) I expected more. In the past I have been very happy with them but I think they need to better vet their masseurs. I gave them feedback via LINE and just got a "sorry."

Yes, this is true. One of the things I liked about Jey Spa is that each massuer has already indicated their minimum tip upfront (usually in their poster) and the Line manager will also give you a breakdown of the total cost upfront before confirming your appointment.

Not sure if he would give BJ but to be fair to him, he did try to give a HJ towards the end but it felt awkward, so I just jerked off myself. That's why I assumed it was a lack of chemistry thing (maybe I was just not his type lol). I was hoping there would be more foreplay etc.

For me, aside from the "fun" aspect of the session, he seems like a nice guy and his massage was alright. So, if anyone else wants to try him, you might have a different experience from me. I remember seeing others here reporting good experiences with JJ.

I did see Chapter 6 but didn't really get a chance to try it. Good to know you've had a few good sessions there, will give it a try next time I'm at the hotel (yes, there will likely be a next time).

Honestly, location wise, I still prefer Quarter Saladaeng as it is within walking distance to the bars but the room at Ascott is definitely way better and also quieter. I don't hear any noise from my neighbour's "recreational activities", as I sometimes do at Quarter. 🤣

This is my one and only complaint about Quarter Saladaeng.  I enjoyed my extended stay here with exception of noisy neighbors at 3am doing their 'recreational activities'.

Thanks, very useful.  I looked up the Ascott Sathorn on Google, out of interest,  and it says that it is a 5 star hotel! If so, its one of the cheapest  5 star hotels in have come across.  What do you think?

They do not have any pictures of their therapists.  Is there a way to choose ahead of time? Or is it luck of the draw?

Yes, you can add them on line app, they will have therapist picture and daily masseurs availability.
