Bangkok Massage Parlor Guide
You surely have heard about the famous Bangkok Massage Parlors but you might never have been to one. So what do you have to expect in one of those? It can all be a bit confusing as to what kind of service you can expect, what’s normal, what prices are being charged, etc. The Massage Parlors or “Soapy’s” are normally quite large establishments and most of them are clustered around Ratchadaphisek Road. Massage Parlor’s all work in a very similar fashion: Upon entering the establishment you will be greeted by somebody and normally led into the lounge area. Most important part will be the fishbowl, a large window where all the available massage girls will sit behind. You can look at them but they cannot see you. Take yourself time and se what’s on offer. If you don’t see something that you like right away, just sit down, relax, have a cool beer and wait. New girls will normally arrive.
When you have made a decision on what girl you want, then you can call the manager over and tell him your wishes. The girls all have numbers so the easiest way is to just tell the number that you want. He will then let the girl come out and meet you. By the way, when you want more than one massage girl, then this is no problem, too. Some call it the “sandwich” option to order two girls but more than that are also possible. Just talk to the manager about it and he will tell you exactly what is available.

If you cannot find anything you like don’t be scared to leave without taking any girl. This is completely OK and nobody can force you to take something that you don’t like. Just pay your drinks and walk out.
Once you met the girl you will then have the option of having a drink with her first or go right up to the room. This is up to you. Some prefer to have a drink first with the girl to see if she is nice and if her attitude is OK. If not, at this point you still have the choice of changing your girl. Once you are up in the room this is not possible. Before going up to the massage room you will have to pay the massage fee first. These are different in every Bangkok massage parlor. Also see our newby massage parlor pricing guide for more information and guidelines on that matter. At this point you can also decide if you want to have the “Body Massage Option”. More about that later.

That’s the “working tools” of the masseuses: All kinds of lotions and oils
Up in the room, you have another chance to order a drink from the tea lady that will enter the room. After that the fun begins. All rooms come with a bathtub and bed. In case you opted for a suite that are always available you might even have a Jacuzzi, Sauna and very large bathtub available. The massage girl will normally take a bath with you first. She will thoroughly clean you everywhere (and I really mean everywhere). Normally a bath will come with a happy ending. If you want more details, you can discuss this in the forum. After the bath you will be dried up and led to the bed where you can have another round of fun as the 2 hours will hardly be over already.
Now when you opted for the body massage option, then after the bath you will actually get a massage on a special rubber mattress where the girl will slide up and down on you.
