A Visit to Bangkok's Cherry Massage - Not!

My friends know I've been living in Thailand for a while now so I'm pretty much the official tour guide as well as their pet guinea pig.

So one of my buddies coming over to Bangkok soon is doing his research and he came across Cherry Massage over on Sukhumvit Soi 24/1. I have been there before a couple a years ago but never been back since. And just recently he read somewhere on another blog that Cherry Massage is really good.

My first visit to Cherry was not so good. But if you've been following my blog you'll know that I do not like to slam any type of adult establishment in Thailand. So if an oil massage parlor or go go bar is not worth your money or time I simply will not mention it here on my blog instead of writing up a nasty review and potentially ruining a business.

Anyways, my first visit to Cherry wasn't so pleasant and I didn't have a good first impression. Sure inside the joint looked good and the Mamasan was plenty nice. But the ladies. Let's just say Cherry Massage doesn't have a website ( or even a fully informational website at best ) with photos of their ladies for a good reason.

My friend asked me for a favor if I could go over and scope out the joint. Sort a like run a recon and see if they've got any beautiful ladies on their line up. And he's paying for it. So why not?

So I strolled down to Sukhumvit 24/1, passed Snow White Massage, Apple Massage. I saw some hotties at Dream Massage and was tempted. But like a good soldier I kept my mind on the mission and I was almost there.

Cherry Massage is located right before Angel Massage which is the last shop on this oily massage lane. As I came closer to my goal I saw at least 5 massage ladies sitting outside and as soon as they saw me and all our eyes I met I immediately turned away. Abort. Abort. Abort the mission!

Thank the lord I still have 20/20 vision. For the brief 2 to 3 seconds I could see there was no one I would ever hump away on and spend my waste my good friend's cash on. And typically, these types of joints place their best looking ladies outside to attract punters. To be fair, perhaps Cherry's best looking ladies are busy upstairs with customers. Either way, that just means I wouldn't be sticking around their shop because I certainly wouldn't pick the ladies hanging around outside their establishment.

Screw my friend and his money. If he really wants to know what Cherry is like he's just gonna have to find out for himself.

As I walked past the ladies they started calling out "Hello, Mister. Massage!" but already my mind was buzzing at a blur calculating where I should go instead as I had time to kill. There are a handful of excellent oilys right in the area at my fingertip.

I was tempted to make a B line right to Angels or I could've headed over to the other Dream Massage on Soi 26 for a Nuru Massage.

But there was a particular massage girl I haven't been with for a little while over at Premier 101 Massage so I made that snap decision to head over and say hello and spend 1.5 hours with the lovely massage girl named Venus.

One one of the rooms at 101 Massage

Venus came over from Angel's Massage and she is quite the popular girl. And I was lucky that I could pick her out last Friday as she only works on weekends now. But her work schedule is hit or miss so I highly recommend making a booking or at least call to make sure she's in for the day.

Normally on this blog I do not tell the names of my favorite massage girls. But since this is around Christmas time I figured I'd throw my blog readers a bone. Don't say I've never given you guys a gift.

One of the larger shower rooms. Not all showers are that big at this massage parlor

Not only does Venus have an awesome body she also has a wonderful service oriented and bubbly attitude. If you're the type of guy though that doesn't like to chat then you might want to skip her. Because she loves to talk which I don't mind at all. You can even speak to her in English. But I am not exaggerating one bit, she does have a lovely body and a cute face.

Also Venus is one of the handful of girls that only allow one shot for customers in Premier 101 massage. Staff at the massage parlor will show you a photo album of their ladies and below the photos you'll see their information on the kinds of services they provide. And it'll also show whether or not their ladies offer 1 or 2 shots to customers. She tells me that a lot of customers are disappointed that she only offers 1 shot and make a big stink about it. Guys, I know we all think with our dicks but seriously, read the ladies profiles, it's all clearly written.

I'm not the kind of guy that would totally discredit an establishment and vow to never go to a certain place ever again. Massage parlors do change and there have been instances where massage girls make a mass exodus to a newer shop with better salary and working conditions.

I don't want to be a dick. Maybe I could've made a simple attempt to walk inside and just take a look anyways. Maybe Cherry is an oil massage joint with beautiful girls in hiding.

So would I ever make my way inside of Cherry Massage? Perhaps. I do frequent Sukhumvit 24/1 often and I will keep an eye out for some cuties like I always do.

Pangviman Place Resotel, Chiang Mai

Last month I was in Chiang Mai for one of my running adventures and the required visit to Doi Suthep.

We stayed at the Panviman Place Resotel since it seemed to be nearest to the running event, which turned out to be just a three minute walk from the hotel.

One other very favorable reason to book this place was the price, it's a bargain and it has all you need; a fairly big room, fast internet in the room, a pool, a/c and for Thai standards a good breakfast.

The location was fairly central and the staff very friendly and helpful with arranging for transportation when needed.

Recommended if you need a cheap stay and still want all 'the works'

Baandin Chiewlarn Resort, Chiew Larn

We stayed here last night and the resort located inside the Rajjaprabha Dam park, which also hosts parts of the Khao Sok National Park. There's lots of beautiful nature surrounding Chiew Larn and the Baandin Chiewlarn Resort is in the midst of it.

Upon arrival we loved it immediately, but once in the room the wall between the other room was very thin and we could almost everything from the other room.

The owner and staff are great though and very friendly and helpful and during the evening there was a nice barbecue going on. Bring your own meat and give it a go! There are a couple of family sized rooms at decent rates.

One thing that turned us off though was a karaoke at the other side of the river that kept blaring music until 11pm to midnight and destroyed the so lovely natural feel of the place.

My Recent Bangkok's EZ2 Massage Experience

EZ2 Massage is the first shop you'll see coming down Suk 24/1

I usually space out the time I visit an oil massage shop and I think the last time I've been to EZ2 Massage on Sukhumvit Soi 24/1 was around 6 or 7 months ago.

The reason is most shops typically find newer girls to fill their roster in about 6 months or so. Some sooner some later. It all depends on how aggressive they are on their recruitment.

Like the rest of the other oil massage shops on Soi 24/1 EZ2 is one of the small ones except for Angels Massage located on the end of Soi 24/1 which is the largest and possibly the most famous.

But I like checking out the smaller shops because you'd never know you might be pleasantly surprised. So I checked out EZ2 a few weeks ago and I got there around 2pm on a weekend. I usually go a little bit later because most girls don't show. up for work around 4pm. And whatever girls they have in the early afternoon live on the premise of the massage shops.

But I had time to kill and getting a massage and a screw is not a shabby way to pass the time. Besides I've had good experiences at EZ2 and at their other location EZ1 not far on Sukhumvit Soi 24 just opposite the Emporium Mall. Both shops open at 11am and close midnight.

One of the rooms at EZ2 Massage

When I got in I was the only customer inside and was quickly greeted by a mamasan who quickly showed me a price menu. I chose the 1 hour gel massage which only cost 2100THB. Then she showed me the photos of girls available.

This time there seems to be less photos. Which means less massage girl. But during this trip I recall there were only 10 photos. Five of those girls were fairly attractive but they were not in yet. So I chose the best girl I could see available dismissing the mamasans suggestions.

So the mamasan called her out but told me she's a small girl so she can't give a long massage. I said no problem. I wasn't really there for a massage anyways.

As you all may know I kind of have a rule where I don't tell the names of the girls I choose. So let's call her Bun.

A standard shower stall

First time I saw Bun I could sort of understand why the mamasan said what she said. Bun was indeed a tiny girl. She's at least a little under 150cm and when I asked her later on she said she was 39 kilo. She said she is 19 years old but she looked younger to me.

Bun led me to a room upstairs and started going though the routine, take clothes off and off to take a quick shower. She wasn't playful and seemed a bit shy but I do have to say she's a cute girl. After getting me cleaned up she showered herself while I waited for a few minutes on bed.

She started with the massage first and I could feel she was putting some effort even while I dozed off a bit. After 10 minutes or so she asked me to turn around in Thai. She can barely speak English because she said she just came from Isaan to work at EZ2 a few months ago.

Then she started on what I came to EZ2 for. Again she was a bit shy but she was enjoying it as much as I was I could tell you.

Overall Bun was a fun experience to me and definitly an hour well spent. I always liked EZ2 though I can't say it's the best oil massage shop on Sukhumvit Soi 24.

If you check out their website you'll see EZ Massage shops have dozens of ladies. And a lot of them are hot. But I cant' say for sure if all those girls are working there. Maybe I just have to visit them more often.

Big Sale on Ambassdor Hotel in Bangkok

If you're coming into Bangkok this month and also next month December you may want to check out the big discounted rates for rooms at the Ambassador hotel which I reviewed here.

As of writing I see that the Ambassador has priced their superior rooms at a little over 1500THB from now until December. So it that's a pretty good price because normally a superior room at the Ambassador has a price tag of a little over 2000THB.

Bangkok's Grand Mercure Fortune Hotel - A 4 Star Hotel Near Two of Bangkok's Best Soapy Massage

Grand Mercure Fortune Hotel on Ratchadipesek Road

Bangkok is well known as a city with many affordable high quality 4 star hotels. And a lot of guys visiting the city's red light districts like staying at 4 star hotels because many have a policy of letting guests invite hookers to their rooms. And many are just a short distance from go go bars and massage parlors. Which was why one of my good friends chose to stay at the Grand Mercure Fortune Hotel.

It's a newly renovated in 2013 and before then it was just called the Fortune Hotel. Today, it's totally made over and managed by the Accor hotel chain which is a good as it's known as one of the best hotel chains in Asia.

So the Grand Mercure Fortune is prime location for making easy visits to Amsterdam Soapy Massage, which is directly across a road. But the hotel is also near a lot of other soapies too which you can see from the map below.

The Grand Mercure Fortune is also near Colonze Soapy Massage which is my #2 favorite soapy to visit. I wrote about my 5 Favorite Soapy Massage Parlors here. But Alaina, The Lord and especially Nataree and Caesars are definitely worth taking a look at.

It's not near any go go bars but Soi Cowboy is just a straight shot south of the hotels location. A taxi ride from the Grand Mercure to Soi Cowboy would just take 5 minutes with no traffic and cost around 60THB. Or, simply hop on the MRT subway which is 2 stops to Sukhumvit station near Soi Cowboy.

Because this hotel is not quite too far from Soi Cowboy, many bar girls working out of that area will not hassle you to rent a short time room near where they work. Because they can easily hop on a motor bike taxi and zip back to their bar from the Grand Mercure Fortune Hotel. And since the hotel is guest friendly, you won't be required to pay a joiner fee.

Pha Ram 9 MRT Subway Station

And getting to this hotel is super easy by taxi as almost every driver will know of this hotel plus because it's near an MRT station you can reach this hotel via the airport train. You only have to make a transfer at Makkasan station and walk to Petchburi MRT station. From there it's only one stop to Pha Ram 9 MRT station.

As of writing you can book a superior room at the Grand Mercure Fortune for 2600THB a night with taxes included for November 2014 travel dates. That's $80USD for a 4 star hotel and that's not a bad deal at all.

It's an ideal hotel because it's close to major malls and shopping centers so there's plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops to check out on foot. So you don't really need to travel too far for anything at all.

No Baht - No Honey

More Money You Bring The More Fun You'll Have

Another big question I get asked often his how much it'll cost for one night of fun in Bangkok and Pattaya. It all really depends on how much you want to "do" and most importantly how much Baht you've got stuffed in your pocket. But of course the more money you have on hand the more fun you'll have. Though for even those with a limited budget can still have a decent night out.

There is no real magic number or figure I can throw out. However, it's quite simple to do a price breakdown and from there you can figure out yourself how much you're going to need for a night of sexual romp. But you also have to be realistic. I mean come on, if this is going to be your first foray into Thailand's red light districts I know your imagination is running wild picturing yourself in an orgy with six hookers on your hotel bed followed by another six soapy massage girls in a jacuzzi. But do you really have the stamina to bang 12 girls? Be realistic and don't waste your time on coming up with a budget to bang 12 girls not unless you really know you've got it in you.

I suppose if you're in your early 20's and even up to early 30's it is possible to go all out stud. But if you're in your mid to late 30's and 40's letting the boys out of the gate twice is enough to make you satisfied.

So to start off, lets say you want to scope out a BJ Bar for your first shot. And then off to a go go bar and have a bar girl set off your second shot.

 

A blow job in the afternoon

Lets be conservative and say your body is able to pop twice in 24 hours. Figure a blow job bar during afternoon time which will set you back 700Baht. If she did a great job cleaning your pipes you can tip her say 300THB. You'd probably bought a beer too so that's about 150THB. Tally those numbers up you've just spent 1150THB or $35USD. Not bad for an afternoon hummer.

 

On to a go go bar at night

When the evening rolls in and you're planning on hitting up a go go bar and if you find a dancer you like you can expect to pay 600THB bar fine. If she's one of the best looking girls you can expect to pay 2500THB for an hour which is short time. But it is a go go bar so you will have to buy drinks but let's just say you're going cheap on this and order a water. That small bottle of water will cost you around 50THB depending on the bar. But you have to also buy a lady drink which will usually be a watered down cola but cost you at least 150THB.

Keep in mind, there are go go bars that have a 2 lady drink policy on top of the bar fine such as Baccara Bar in Soi Cowboy. Baccara is one of the best go go bars in Bangkok with fine looking bar girls so the price, depending on your outlook might be justified.

To tally up it's 600THB bar fine + 2500THB short time price + 50THB water + 150THB lady drink for a grand total of 3300THB which is $102USD as of writing.

Include that with the afternoon delight $35USD + 102USD at a go go bar and you've spent $137USD. That's not really bad at all. Considering a night out at a strip club in Las Vegas will undoubtedly cost twice or more and you only go home with blue balls and a wet dick. Thai red light districts are an absolute bargain.

This $137USD figure is or course a conservative figure. I know there are guys who spend way more because of beers and drinks for the ladies. But if you're on a strict(ish) budget $137USD is feasible. If you can't spend more than that you might want to consider saving enough until you can. Not trying to be a dick but I get a lot of emails from guys asking what they can do with a lot less.

There are ways to cut corners. For instance you can pick up a street hooker. With a freelancer there's no need to pay a bar fine nor buy lady drinks. I know guys who strictly sticks with street hookers for those reasons alone. But the trade off is the best looking girls are found in go go bars.

But there are other ways to bang hot Thai chicks and still save some cash. I always tell people that Bangkok's oil massage shops have some of the best looking working girls. And most shops these days have an all inclusive rate meaning you get a mediocre massage and full service. Inclusive rates start at around 2100THB ($65USD) for an hour, some less some a little more depending on the shop you go to. So my advice is if you really want to find hot Thai girls get yourself to a oil massage parlor.

Khao Sok Green Valley Resort, Khao Sok

The resort is located just 200 meters from the entrance of the Khao Sok Nation Park and across the road is a bridge where all tubing and kayaking starts in the rainy season which high water in the river.

The rooms are fairly basic but do have a mini fridge, tv with Thai channels and a mini fridge.

The location is good with a beautiful scenery and there's the small Khao Sok village for your immediate needs with a few restaurants and a small local supermarket. No chain supermarket is allowed in the village, up to this date!

A good budget room with a very friendly and helpful owner.

Khao Sok Tree House Resort, Khao Sok

The Khao Sok Tree House is an adventure! Various sized bungalows, around 15 in total, are located within a large parcel of jungle and most of them are build high in the tree tops.

Not something for the weak hearted, at night walking through the jungle or towards your bed on a walk bridge some 20 meters above the jungle floor, which moves a bit with every step you take.

The bungalows are all unique and lots of fun to visit or sleep in. Some have tents in them for the children, some have bathrooms on a balcony overlooking the jungle but one thing they all have in common, they are unique!

The attached restaurant I also found to be one of the better choices in Khao Sok. All the usual tours to the Khao Sok National Park and tubing trips are offered but they also offer bird watching.

This is one of my fave resorts in the area and I can highly recommend it.

How Is Safety Inside Bangkok's Go Go Bars and Massage Parlors?

With the high season kicking in gear, a lot of newbie questions have been rolling in. And this particular question on safety inside of Bangkok's or even Pattya's bar and massage shops is probably on the minds of many first timers who are hesitant on booking that plane ticket.

In a nutshell, yes you can feel safe inside go go bars and massage parlors. Some go go bars have bouncers outside like Shark Bar and Bacarra in Soi Cowboy. Some bars don't have any at all or at least visible like almost every go go bar inside Nana Plaza. Patpong's go go bars have armies of touts so I suppose those guys double as security in case shit does go down.

But overall, you won't find any bouncers or security type folks visible inside go go bars. And even then, those types of venues are quite safe.

Of all the years I've been in go go bars I have seen a couple of fights between customers. And only then have I seen Thai's whom I presume are bar bouncers materialize out of nowhere to throw out the offending patrons.

I have seen foreign customers fight with Thai bouncers twice. And twice I have never seen men beat down so badly in my life. Don't mess with Thais' on there territory folks, you won't win.

On that cheerful note, most bar patrons are guys just like you. They want to have a good time and watch hot Thai bar girls twirl around a pole. A lot of bar customers are just regular folks who have 9 to 5 jobs in their home country and not mobsters and gangsters. And even if you do see an odd foreigner who does have a shady past in most likelihood they don't want to start shit with you even if they don't like the way you look.

Massage parlors, whether they be oily or soapies have a very safe atmosphere for customers too. There are no visible security measures but I'm assuming the papasans would kick someones ass if they get out of line. But in any case, if trouble does start inside an oily or soapy they will call the cops and every single one of those establishments are "sponsored" by the local police force you can bet your ass they'll arrive quickly.

That said of all the times I've been going to massage shops never have I once seen some type of incident involving the police or unruly customers being forced off premise kicking and screaming.

You see, Bangkok and Pattaya's red light districts are big money makers so there are unseen forces (be it Thai police, the mafia, or political) that are in play to try and keep the places as safe as possible for foreign visitors to the city's notorious red light districts.

There's a lot to cover on the subject of visiting Bangkok's nightlife but you can get a good grasp of what to expect here on my tips for first timers section and Red Eye Travel Guide. And even if you haven't been to Bangkok for a long while both those sections will fill you in on what has changed or give you a refresher course.

Where to Pick Up The "Good Girls" in Bangkok

Okay, so just to start off I'm going to be up front. These days, I'm about 20 years too old and just as many lbs. overweight to be picking up Thai girls that are not working in Bangkok's sex industry. The so called "good Thai girls" will not go for a slob like me. I've tried. Believe me. So I can't tell you how to pick up beautiful Thai girls that have proper day jobs. I can only give you advice on those that you'd have to pay to open their legs. Sorry.

Many expensive bars in Suk Soi 11 but there are also affordable bars too

These days there are lots of young good looking foreign guys coming in that I can't compete against. I get a lot of emails asking me where one can go find Thai girls not involved in the pay for play scene. And to those that I get a chance to reply to I always ask first "How old are you? The usual replies are "I'm 60 years old" followed by "but I'm in great shape" and even went as far as showing me a half nude pic of himself, which I really did not want to see.

Listen up fellas, I'm not that old either.  However the good girls have plenty of choices of foreign men in their 20's and even early 30's. Late 30's you've got a chance especially when you don't look it. But the better shape you're in and better looking for the ladies then you've still got chance.

But really, if a Thai girl with a good decent job that loves to party in some of Bangkok's best clubs and bars with their friends and on the lookout for a one night stand or even a boyfriend don't want a dude twice her age and 4 times her weight.

President Palace Hotel

Okay, so I'll throw out there that there are young girls who dig old farts. But let's face it not all Thai girls with proper job and stable family life are destitute and desperate. And if they could make a choice they'd stick with the guys around their own age.

With that out of the way, I do get a lot of emails from foreigners from all over the world in their mid 20's and early 30's. And they ask me the same question as the old farts.

Salil Sukhumvit 11 Hotel

So, if I was younger man, looking for a Thai girl not in the sex industry I would head to Sukhumvit Soi 11. There are a lot of mainstream bars in that area that are not dedicated play for play bars where hookers are abound. And I love visiting Suk 11 because it's a great place now. Lots of international restaurants in a great relaxing atmosphere.

Aside from all the good Thai girls Sukhumvit Soi 11 is fertile ground for picking up foreign women too. No I'm not talking about foreign hookers. Many women from around the world work in Bangkok too and they're also out for a good time among the bars of Suk 11. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that every single one of them are looking for one nighters. But hey, women are just like men and have needs too. So if you've got game you can pick up foreign women too.

There are a few exceptions. Q Bar for example looks like a mainstream bar but they have a fair share amount of working Thai girls freelancing. Le Fenix Sukhumvit 11 Hotel is right across from Q Bar and I have to mention they have rooms for 1500THB which is an absolute bargain because the location is awesome. I know a lot of guys that pick up girls and take them to Le Fenix because they don't charge joiner fees.

Then there is Hillary 3 Bar which is not total pay for play venue but they do have Thai ladies you can pick up when the price is right. It's a popular watering hole and probably one of the most affordable bars on Suk 11 to grab a beer and check out some local talent.

Ambassador Bangkok Hotel and Club Climax

And of course one of the most popular pick up joints on Soi 11 is Club Climax in the basement level of the Ambassador Hotel. Club Climax is also a good after hours club. The Ambassador is a good place to stay because it's also guest friendly too, which is convenient when you plan to take hookers back to your room.

Matter of fact there are a lot of well rated hotels in Suk 11 that permit hookers in guests rooms. Which is one of the better reasons to stay in that area. Other choices are the President Palace Hotel and Salil Hotel Soi 11.

Finally, I have to mention there is a newish popular bar/club called Levels located right inside the Aloft Bangkok Sukhumvit 11 Hotel. I went there just last week and I have to tell you I've never seen so many beautiful ladies. Not just Thai but foreign ladies too in their early to late 20's. In my estimation I would say it's mostly ladies that are not in pay for play scene. At least it seemed to me that night.


And if you're not way too old and know how to talk to ladies perhaps Levels Club could be one of your best bet on picking up a freebie or more.

My 5 Favorite Soapy Massage in Bangkok 2014 Report

A few years ago I wrote about my 5 favorite soapy massage parlors reviews in Bangkok here. And that post has been viewed/read nearly a million times (exactly 991,082 times as of writing).

It's really no surprise to me at all. Bangkok's soapies are popular. No doubt about it. Who doesn't like to get rubbed down by a pretty girl in a bath filled with soap bubbles? And Bangkok has a lot of these types of male oriented massage centers spread around the city. Some really far out. And some are concentrated not too far from central red light district Sukhumvit with its Soi Cowboy and Nana Entertainment Plaza go go bars.

Things have not changed much in the soapy scene. Just a couple of new places opened up though. But recently, I've noticed a major change in the line up of my favorite soapies. Lots of new faces. Though prices are basically the same. And services are a real hit and miss today. Unlike one of my first time massage experience ever at Caesar's Entertainment many moons ago.

Even though there are a shit load of soapies all over Bangkok all the parlors listed below are easily reached by MRT subway train. Except for one which requires a 15 minute taxi ride from Huay Kwang area, which is basically where all the other soapies I mentioned below are located.

If you want to know how to get to these places mentioned check out my website where you'll find a nifty updated map.

My 5 Favorite Bangkok Soapy Parlors

Nataree Massage in Huay Kwang

#1 Nataree - No surprise here. After all these years, Nataree is still the best. Why? Because they employ a lot of ladies. Though it is a fishbowl soapy, you'll find that a vast majority of the ladies working out of Nataree are Sideline girls (part-timers).

So why is Nataree so special?? It's the sheer amount of girls. It's that simple. The more girls inside the more chances you'll find one to your liking.

Nataree typically has around 20 fishbowl girls and around 60 side liners. Typically ladies let customers have 2 shots. But I've been told by many ladies working at Nataree that today, they are selective on who they give those 2 shots to. So, if you really want to make sure you're getting 2 shots, be sure to ask before you fork over your cash.

There is no need to find out how to say, "Can I have 2 shots?" in Thai. Most girls will understand that. Otherwise, be sure to ask the Papasan to make it clear. There is a papasan named Mr. G who has a good grasp of English and can help sort you out.

Sideline girls start at around 2300THB. Younger prettier sideline girls start at 2600THB. Fishbowl girls cost at 1800THB. You get an 1 hour with the ladies.

#2 Colonze 2 - This joint is getting better and better every time I visit with my friends. You can check out a short blog post review here. I just went there last weekend and wow, I have to say, they have an excellent line up of models.

Colonze 2 has a lot of categories of services to the point it gets too confusing. But to break it down, they have sideline girls, fishbowl girls and models.

Sideline girls and fishbowl girls are found on the first floor. To the right of the fishbowl you'll find stairs leading up to the models section. And their models are what I prefer. Yes, they can be pricy. But they have some damn fine looking girls working at Colonze 2.

I picked a tall model, skinny in the waist, with gorgeous ass and tits. She had long black hair and long legs with fine white skin. I've got a hard on just thinking about her. And no way am I going to tell you her name or her badge number lol! You are on your own my friends.

Colonze 2 models on the second floor will set you back 6000THB for an hour and a half. Their sideline girls cost 2500THB and fishbowl girls' rates start at at 1800THB for an hour and a half.

I like this soapy a lot and though it's a great place it's still hard to knock Nataree off the #1 spot for now. Because you only get to pop once at Colonze 2, which is the normal policy. But if the girl likes you, she may let you pop twice. Just remember to tip.

Model girls working out of soapies only give you 1 shot. But you can ask how much she charges for a second pop. From my experience, they'll let you have another go for 1500THB.

#3 Utopia Entertainment - Although this soapy is very close to Huay Kwang there are no MRT subway stations in the immediate area. Your best bet is to take a taxi. A taxi fare from Nataree to Utopia would probably cost about 60THB or so.

It's not really a hard place to find and get to. It's just that it's in the middle of a very long street with nothing else in the area except a bunch of restaurants and a huge condo complex. But they have a huge neon Utopia Sign that is very easy to spot.

Here is the address and phone number in Thai:
69,69/1-3 ถนนพระราม9
แขวงห้วยขวาง เขตห้วยขวาง
กรุงเทพมหานคร 10320 เบอร์โทรศัพท์:0-2354-1300

I must start off by telling you that Utopia is pricey. So if you're not willing to pay for a taxi then you might want to skip this place. Plus, it is reported that they make foreigners may 500THB or 1000THB extra. I've never had that issue. It could be because I've been going there for a long time and can speak converstational Thai.

I have asked Papasans if have a foreigner surcharge and they say they don't. But I've read that they do elsewhere on other similar websites and blogs like mine. So who knows.

Massage lady prices at Utopia Entertainment are complex too because they have many categories of ladies. Basic fishbowl girls cost about 2300THB. Sideline girls 2800THB. And the cream of the crop model girls that are supposed former Thai Penthouse models or minor television stars prices start at a whopping 7000THB for an hour and a half.

For the models, a papasan or mamasan will hand you a photo album so you can pick and choose. The catch is you will most likely have to book a reservation. Most girls of Utopia's models, depending on their popularity have a 2 week wait list. I shit you not. Is it worth it? If you have the cash to blow I believe it is.

#4 Amsterdam Massage - This soapy is also on the pricey side but not as expensive as Utopia. About 5 years ago it was a massive establishment taking up 2 buildings. But today they've consolidated and all the monkey business takes place the front building.

You won't find a fishbowl setup at Amsterdam today too. So it's basically an all sideline joint. All the ladies are sitting in the back with no glass separating them from the customers. I find it humorous whenever guys just go up to them and check them out like a piece of steak at the butcher shop.

Anyways, Amsterdam has a fairly decent lineup of ladies always around evening time on the weekends. They have a lot of fair skinned ladies like Utopia because that's how Thai men like their women. Although it was my #3 favorite last year this soapy is still one of my all time favorite place to drop by.

I know a lot of guys like Amsterdam because it's another place that is easy to get to. Pha Ram 9 MRT station is right across from Amsterdam Massage, about a 5 minute walk across the main road. You can't miss the building it has a faux windmill on top of it.

Amsterdam massage girl prices start at 2500. But I typically like choosing girls at the 2600THB range. Somehow the Paps and Mams have figured out a scale. They do have models of course and their rates start at 4000THB.

#5 Poseidon Entertainment Massage - Okay, so this soapy has never popped up on my top 5 list ever. So what happened? A McDonald's opened across from it. No seriously, there is a McDonald's just 3 minutes walk from Poseidon's doors.

Now Poseidon has always been a name synonymous with soapy. Tell a taxi drive Soi Poseidon and they'll know exactly where they want to go. And they actually have a fully functioning website with a price list for their fishbowl and models. Holy fuckedy fuck... I'm surprised because so many other soapies don't have a functioning website.

But seriously Poseidon has been lagging against all the soapies in Huay Kwang. So I guess they're trying to kick in a strong come back. Plus I figure management wants to attract new customers from the new huge condos that are being built nearby.

I wrote a review last year but since then I've been popping over to Poseidon more and more often.

So there you go. My updated top 5 list. I hope you enjoy!
