Massage Parlors in Bangkok (Sukhumvit, New Petchburi, Ratchadapisek, Rama IX)

Whether or not you are living here or visiting this fine city, you will undoubtedly see a variety of massage establishments ranging from small shops to large buildings. There are several types of massage parlors here in Bangkok. Walk along lower Sukhumvit Road, and you will see massage shops practically everywhere. They are the foot massage shops that offer foot massage, traditional Thai massage and oil massage. There are also the spas which offer a wider range of services including body scrubs, facials, where you can pamper yourself there. Most of these are mainly massage only establishments.

Some massage shops that offer Thai and oil massage also offer extra services (happy endings), which range from hand jobs, blowjobs to full service. And there is another category which we call the soapy massage, these are the larger establishments which offer a bath, followed by a full service and/or massage depending on your requirements. Do be aware of taxi touts that want to bring you to the soapy massage parlors, they are just out to make a commission. We have also compiled a list of massage parlors near BTS/MRT stations, so that you do not have use the taxi to get there. Whatever your needs are, there is a wide selection of places to go to. If you're feeling to tired to get out of the hotel room, you may opt to contact the outcall massage service. To get more information and to read the experiences of others, check out the Bangkok massage forum.

If you are planning a visit to the soapy massage, you may want to know the best time to visit these places to see the best possible line up of girls. Going there too early or too late will result in a very poor selection. Also, you may find after visiting a few of these places, that the routine is pretty standardized, so you may want some ideas on how to make it more interesting.

In most of the soapy massage parlors, you will be informed of the fee for the session with the girl, which ranges from 2,000 - 5/6,000 B depending on which category the girl is in. Each session normally lasts 90 minutes. The prices shown in the soapy massage parlor listing (and on their respective websites) are for locals or East Asian. There is normally a "surcharge" of 500 B – 1,000 B for the others. The massage fee (which includes the full service) is normally paid upfront before adjourning to the room with your girl(s) of choice, and you can either pay by cash or credit card (why not have fun on credit and earn mileage points while you're at it?). On some rare occasions, they may allow you to pay after the session, but don't count on it being the norm.
