Sex Massage in Bangkok
Sex massage in Bangkok
Without its famous massage parlours the Bangkok sex reputation simply wouldn¡¦t be quite the same. They certainly are an attraction for some and offer a more discreet and sometimes sensual experience than simply picking up a girl from the go go bars. In fact these ¡¥full body massage¡¦ places are far less easy to find your way to than the obvious girlie bar areas and are most often frequented by Thais.
Sex massages in Bangkok are offered at many venues across the city, and your best chance of finding one of these is in Thailand is in Bangkok where they are widely permitted. Since the sex takes place on the premises they need to operate in the shadows of the law and therefore aren¡¦t generally found in the popular tourist areas. Usually a tuk tuk driver will offer you a flyer to these places but we¡¦ve made it much easier by listing some of the sex massage parlours in Bangkok. See listings.
Inside a Bangkok sex massage parlour
It works like this; a selection of ladies, ranging from a handful to dozens, sit in a ¡¥fishbowl¡¦ with one-way mirrors and you relax in the sofas on the other side, while you take your time over a beer to choose one (indicated by numbers). After paying up front your experience begins with a sensual soaping down in a bath, provided by your naked hostess of choice. After this you get to romp on an adjacent double bed and it¡¦s usually all over within 90 minutes.
The quality of the venues, the selection of the girls and the price vary widely ¡Vl especially at peak times but you can expect to pay 1500 to 2500 baht. If you are visiting and have been taken there by a taxi driver you¡¦ll have little choice but to accept what¡¦s on offer but locals know better, and will often do the rounds of several places in an evening to find good value. The most expensive sex massage parlours in Bangkok don¡¦t always have the best girls, and even a big selection can be quite uniform ¡Vl aimed at Asian tastes for white skin ultra-skinny girls which you might not find appealing. If a minibus full of Japanese or Koreans has arrived before you then the price will be inflated and the selection poor. Some sit around waiting for new girls to emerge, but these are the busiest in the house.
There are a few tips to getting the most out of these Bangkok sex massage parlours. Timing is essential, never go on a weekend or at the end of month, when they are busiest. Typically a parlour will have two dozen girls on duty but few of them will be really worthwhile. Of course different girls appeal to different tastes but by 9pm only the dregs are left. Often they have different prices for different girls (usually shown by colour of numbers), depending on who is most popular. Luckily Thai men have altogether different tastes.
The other big question is how they perform, and this unfortunately is very hit and miss. Since the girls can¡¦t detect your presence in the room there¡¦s no way of seeing how they react to you. There¡¦s know fraternising over a few drinks to get an idea of how much ¡¥fun¡¦ she is likely to be. But you do get a chance to chat with them a bit and see how ¡¥interested¡¦ they are. Few will speak English and often these girls have experienced such a high turnover of men that they simply lie there and let you get on with it, which is a bit of a turn off. Occasionally you get a girl who senses a big tip and the whole experience is memorable.
Sex massage parlours in Bangkok are ideal if you need to be discreet or want a quickie without a big drinks bill or bar fine, but they can be far less satisfying than meeting a lovely bar girl and taking her back to your place.
Dirty massages
A far tamer massage often given is known as the dirty massage. This is an oil massage where you get massaged in ¡¥additional places¡¦ for an extra fee of about 300 baht (on top of the 200+ baht for the massage). There are places that specialise in this and others that will oblige, provided you are in a private booth. Many of the masseuses in Bangkok (except in hotels and spas) will agree to this but it really is dependent on them.
Generally the closer the place is to a go go area and the more ¡¥welcoming¡¦ the ladies, the more likely they will be to offer. This is usually done in a teasing manner, occasionally brushing their hand over your privates. So you needn¡¦t worry, lie back and enjoy the drawn out experience, it¡¦s far more fun. Some of these ladies will even agree to move the massage back to your place, which will cost more, and can lead to ¡¥the works¡¦, if you¡¦re lucky (and pay them well).
Sex massage parlours in Bangkok
There are many massage parlours all over Bangkok, especially in some of the more touristy areas, and often it can be difficult to suss out whether your chosen venue is indeed a sex massage parlour, or just a ¡¥normal¡¦ one. This is complicated further by the fact that the differences between the two types of establishment are often quite blurred; you can be in a place which seems like a regular massage shop, but can be engaging in activities which will certainly be more at home in a place which offers ¡¥special massages¡¦!
By recommending a few here, we hope to eliminate some of this uncertainty and help to direct you to your desired venue.
Eden: One of Bangkok¡¦s most infamous massage parlour / brothels, the institution that is Eden is known to all of Bangkok¡¦s massage connoisseurs. There is very little actual massaging going on in here, so if you have extravagant tastes and a bank balance to match, head over to Sukhumvit Soi 7/1, into the discrete side entrance and let the experience begin. Oh, and every customer has to take at least two girls on each visit ¡Vl house rules!
Chao Phraya I & II: These two huge places are far from subtle, and they are a favourite destination of tuk tuk drivers who have picked up curious tourists from elsewhere in the city. Huge signs at the front (Chao Phraya 1¡¦s sign says ¡§J-One¡¨), a vast selection of girls and a very lavish service. Both parlours are located on Sri Ayutthaya Road, nearest BTS is Phaya Thai.
Caesars: One of many vast, neon lit palaces on Rachadapisek Road, no expense is spared at Caesars. Catering largely for Asian tourists and with membership cards available for loyal customers (of which there are many), this is the place to go for typical bold and brash Bangkok decadence. Prices around 1,900 Baht.
Emmanuelle: Another Rachada big one, Emmanuelle really does pull out all the stops and typifies the flamboyant, glitzy side of the Bangkok sex massage scene which can be found on Rachada. Dozens of attractive girls, luxurious facilities everywhere and a very high-class service are to be had here. On Rachadapisek Road, with prices reaching 3,500 Baht for a VIP room.
Annie¡¦s Sauna and Massage: On the same street as the Nana Plaza, Annie¡¦s is another one of Bangkok¡¦s famous venues and, of course, popular with patrons of the Nana Plaza scene. Good value and good service at 1,500 Baht. On Sukhumvit Soi 4.
Darling Massage: A big rival to Annie¡¦s and not too far away, Darling¡¦s neon sign will become a familiar sight to people who frequent the lower Sukhumvit nightlife scene. A tad more expensive at 2,500 Baht a session, but you¡¦ll be getting your money¡¦s worth here at this long running, professional Bangkok establishment. On Sukhumvit Soi 12.
Aviva Massage: Probably more towards the dirty massage end of the scale rather than the fishbowl places we¡¦ve listed here, this is a good place to go for those new to the massage scene. On Sukhumvit Soi 8, map included on web site.
Thong Lor II Spa and Massage: Again, probably not quite as ¡§full-on¡¨ as some of the other recommended places, and with prices to match starting at 400 Baht for a 1 hour oil massage. Extras have to be negotiated and paid on top, though. On Sukhumvit Soi 24, next to Phrom Phong BTS station.
