Bangkok Men Massage

  • 011. September 2026

    Hello everyone, BMM – Taeng Mo here!

    Surprise! The September blog is brought to you by yours truly. 😎

    I decided to disappear from 15 to 19 September on an (almost) secret trip. Every working adult will know that there are times when you just want to pack a bag, switch off from everything and disappear for a while — but, of course, reality and responsibilities often have other plans.

    I’m grateful that my job allows me to do that… sort of. So, when the opportunity came, I packed my bags and disappeared for a few days.

    As usual, this was not exactly what you would call a well-planned trip. It was more of a “let’s see what happens” kind of adventure — minimal planning, plenty of YOLO, and just enough preparation to make sure I had somewhere to sleep. 😂

    Every time I come to Thailand, there are always new therapists and shops popping up, and naturally, there are plenty of familiar faces that I’m tempted to revisit as well. This time was no different.

    I shortlisted a mix of familiar favourites and new places I had been wanting to try. After a little process of elimination — because sadly, five days is not enough to visit everywhere — I finally narrowed the list down to something that could realistically fit into my trip.

    And so, my September adventure began…

    The places I visited on this trip are, 

    • History of Massage
    • Chill and Bliss
    • Mencare
    • S’Sense Massage

    15 September 2026

    Two days before the flight, the exchange rate was looking unusually attractive. That was all the encouragement I needed. I decided to let BMM – Sawng know that I was going on a last-minute trip to BKK.

    Before the trip, I did a little planning on who I wanted to try. The mission for this trip was simple: almost no repeats.

    I wanted to use the few days I had to explore as many new therapists as possible, and somehow, I managed to squeeze quite a few new names into the itinerary.My flight was in the afternoon, and I expected to reach the hotel around 7pm. I had already booked an airport transfer because there were some issues with the Airport Rail Link, and I was definitely not going to stand around waiting an hour for a train after flying in.

    Of course, the plan immediately went slightly sideways. My driver got lost on the way to the hotel and took a little detour. By the time I finally reached the hotel, it was around 8pm.

    And I was HUNGRY. Unfortunately, dinner had to wait because I had a 10pm appointment at History of Massage. I took a quick shower, grabbed my things and headed out again. I decided to take the BTS to National Stadium and walk over to HOM from there.

    History of Massage — Mr. Khun

    For my first appointment of the trip, I booked Mr. Khun.

    We had exchanged a few messages on Instagram previously, and I decided to give him a try. Part of the reason was simply to support him as he begins his journey as a therapist.

    I arrived at History of Massage and confirmed my booking with reception. The receptionist asked me to take a seat while she went to get Mr. Khun.

    And then he appeared.

    Let me just say this: Mr. Khun is handsome and cute in person.

    The shop photos do have a little editing — something Mr. Khun himself confirmed with me later. So yes, what you see online has had a little help, but the real-life version is still quite pleasant to look at.

    Mr. Khun brought me to the room and asked me to shower first while he prepared everything for the session. Our communication throughout was an interesting combination of my beginner Thai and his basic English. Somehow, we managed just fine. 😂

    The massage itself was relaxing, and he followed the standard History of Massage’s massage sequence. By this point, the combination of a long travel day, very little food and a relaxing massage was starting to catch up with me. I fell asleep a few times.

    Mr. Khun also had a playful side and teased me here and there, which helped keep things light during the session.

    I’ll leave the more detailed write up for the proper BMM review.

    After the session, both of us were hungry, so I invited Mr. Khun to join me for a meal. We chatted over food and, honestly, it didn’t feel like I was having a meal with someone I had only just met. The conversation was surprisingly comfortable, almost like catching up with an old friend.

    By the time I finally made it back to the hotel, it was already 2am. I decided not to meet my boy from Dreamboys — let’s call him Khun R — that night.

    I had another appointment waiting for me the following day at Chill and Bliss for their Kasai Massage.

    16 September 2026

    After finally getting some much-needed sleep, I woke up and headed down for the hotel breakfast. While having breakfast, I received a message from Chill and Bliss, reminding me that I had an appointment with Phoo Ri later that day.

    For those who have been following the BMM adventures, Chill and Bliss isn’t exactly a new name. BMM had previously visited their outlet in Thong Lo, but that branch has since closed, and the shop has relocated to Silom.

    Getting to Chill and Bliss is pretty straightforward if you’re coming by BTS.

    Alight at Sala Daeng BTS and take the exit towards Thaniya Shopping Centre — the one with Don Don Donki.From there, cut through Thaniya Road towards Surawong Road, then turn right and walk in the direction of Rama 9 Road. Cross the road at the traffic light and continue walking straight for about 20 metres. You should then spot Chill and Bliss.

    Chill and Bliss — Phoo Ri

    The décor is very similar to the previous outlet, with the same lush, green, tropical vibes. The shop also smelled really nice, which immediately gave the place a relaxing feel.

    There was one receptionist on duty when I arrived, and he was clearly a very busy man. He was trying to coordinate everything at once and looked a little flustered at times. 😂

    I decided to go for a 90-minute Kasai Massage with Phoo Ri, making use of their Wednesday promotion. After confirming my booking, I made payment and the receptionist asked me to take a seat while he checked on the room and went to get my therapist.

    A short while later, Phoo Ri came out to receive me.

    Now, I have to say that Phoo Ri looked a little different from his photos. There was probably some photo editing involved — perhaps about a 20% difference — but he was still pleasant-looking and had a slightly charming vibe in person.

    My first impression was that he seemed to be quite an I-person — more on the introverted side. He wasn’t particularly talkative at first but that changed once I started speaking to him in Thai.

    He slowly opened up, and we managed to have a little conversation before getting started.

    Phoo Ri is technically new to Chill and Bliss, but once he started the massage, I immediately noticed something. This guy knows what he’s doing. I became curious enough that I had to do my usual casual BMM “interview”. And sure enough — six years of experience.

    The Kasai experience this time was also noticeably different from my previous experience at the Thong Lo outlet. There was more attention given to the lower back, inner thighs and certain points towards the front, making the session feel quite different from what I remembered.

    It was a good kind of sore — the sort where you know certain areas have definitely been worked.

    Overall, it was an interesting first session with Phoo Ri, and definitely one that deserves a more detailed write-up. So, as usual… Keep a lookout for the in-depth review. 😉

    After finishing my session at Chill and Bliss at around 2pm, I received a reminder from Mencare for my 6pm appointment with Mr Phoom.

    I headed towards the Silom Edge, grabbed some boat noodles and killed some time. I wanted to do a leg massage before going to Mencare but I decided to head back to the hotel, rest for a while and recharge before the evening appointment.

    Mencare was only about a 10-minute ride from my hotel, but anyone who has travelled around Sathorn will know that 10 minutes can be a very optimistic estimate once traffic decides to join the party. My appointment was at 6pm, so I decided to leave around 5:15pm.

    The sky was already looking rather suspicious — dark clouds were gathering, and it looked like rain was on the way. I decided to take my chances and ordered a GrabBike. About two minutes before reaching Mencare, the sky suddenly turned very dark, and the wind started picking up.

    To make matters worse, traffic inside the alley was ridiculously jammed. I was watching the sky, watching the traffic and silently praying that I would make it before the heavens opened.

    The moment I alighted from the GrabBike and made it into the hotel, the rain started pouring. I looked back and counted my blessings.

    Mencare is situated behind The Tivoli Hotel. Just set the drop off point to the hotel and you will be able to reach Mencare.

    Mencare — Mr Phoom

    It seemed that Mencare shared the same lobby area with another shop, so I made my way to the reception and confirmed my booking. I had booked their 2-hour bath and massage promotion. After making payment, I was asked to choose my preferred fragrance before settling down to wait for Phoom.

    A short while later, Phoom came to receive me. First impression? Handsome, and very much like his shop photo. No surprises there.

    He also seemed to be another rather quiet and reserved person — definitely giving me another “I-person” impression. At this point, I wasn’t quite sure whether I should communicate with him in Thai or English, so I just went with whatever seemed to work at the moment.

    Phoom asked me to soak in the tub first and said he would return about 10 minutes later to begin the session. While I was soaking, he gave me a head and shoulder massage.

    And honestly, this part was really good. In fact, it was one of the better head-and-shoulder massages I’ve experienced. The pressure was comfortable, and it was exactly what I needed. Once that was done, Phoom helped rinse away the bubbles before bringing me over to the massage bed. This was where my experience became a little more mixed.

    The massage on the bed felt somewhat mechanical compared with the excellent head-and-shoulder work earlier. Perhaps I had also built up a certain expectation after reading the many reviews about Mencare and Phoom beforehand.

    I’ll leave the finer details for my in-depth review.

    Stay tuned. 😉

    After my session, I texted my favourite Khun R and updated him on where I was. We had already made plans to meet for dinner, so I was looking forward to seeing him again.

    Khun R told me that he was at a gym near my hotel, so I booked a GrabCar and headed back to the hotel to meet him. I have to admit — I had really missed Khun R. It was genuinely nice to see him again, and I was very happy that we managed to meet up during this trip.

    When I reached the hotel, I decided to pop into 7-Eleven to pick up a few things while waiting for him in the lobby. He arrived while I was in the middle of a work call. Once I finished my call, we decided to put our things in the room first before heading out for dinner.

    The original plan was a seafood buffet. But once again, Bangkok’s weather had a different plan. The rain started coming down heavily again.

    At that point, we looked at each other and decided that there was really no need to fight the weather. The seafood buffet could wait. Instead, we ordered GrabFood and decided to stay in for the night. While waiting for the food to arrive, Khun R and I caught up on life.

    This is one thing I really appreciate about him. We can talk for hours about practically anything under the sun. There is no need to force a conversation or constantly find something to talk about — we just naturally catch up on whatever has happened since we last met.

    Eventually, after more than an hour of waiting, the food finally arrived. By then, we were absolutely famished. Dear all, Never order food when you’re extremely hungry.

    The portions at some places can be surprisingly generous, and between the hunger and the waiting time, we apparently forgot how much food two people could reasonably consume.

    We couldn’t even finish everything. There was even one whole salad dish that remained completely untouched. 😂

    In the end, Khun R suggested that we keep the leftovers in the fridge and he could reheat them for lunch the next day. While eating and chatting, we also discussed the plan for the following day.

    I decided to have a day to myself, while Khun R would head to work as usual so he could maintain his attendance. We agreed to meet again on my final night and, hopefully, finally get that seafood buffet we had originally planned.

    For tonight, though, there was nowhere else we needed to be. We did our usual little ritual, settled down and eventually went to bed.

    After a pretty hectic first couple of days, it was actually a nice way to end the evening — no rushing, no travelling around Bangkok, just good food, good conversation and good company.

    17 September 2026

    I woke up earlier than my alarm and started my morning routine, washing up and getting ready for breakfast. Khun R was still fast asleep, looking absolutely exhausted after the previous day’s activities.

    My room booking comes with breakfast, and the plan was for both of us to have breakfast together. So after getting myself ready, I woke Khun R up. Eventually, we both headed down for breakfast.

    After breakfast, I sent Khun R off and decided to take the day to recover. With no appointments planned, I went back to sleep and woke up hungry around 2pm.

    I headed out for some Pad See Ew at a restaurant near the hotel.

    Then, in true YOLO fashion, I made a last-minute decision to head to Talad Phlu to meet a Thai friend – Bank I had gotten to know through TikTok.

    Bank used to work as a bar host but recently left the job and started a new chapter by opening his own ice cream shop in Talad Phlu. Did you know Talad Phlu is also the filming location for “How to make millions before Grandma dies”? 

    I took a GrabCar to Talad Phlu. The area was vibrant and buzzing, although the ice cream shop itself was tucked away on a quieter street.

    Finally, I met up with Bank and his girlfriend. Of course, I had to try their animal-shaped ice cream along with some drinks. Objectively speaking, the ice cream wasn’t overly sweet and was actually really nice.

    We also filmed a few TikToks just for laughs, and before I knew it, I ended up staying until closing. Time really flies when you’re having fun.

    While I was in Talad Phlu, I also caught up with Mr Yook and let him know I was in Bangkok. I told him I would find some time to visit him, but he offered to come over to my room for a massage instead.

    Once I reached the hotel, I was hungry again, so I made a quick trip to 7-Eleven to grab some of my favourites and, as usual, browse around for any new and interesting snacks to try.

    While I was eating, Yook messaged to say that he had a walk-in customer and would only be able to come over later. I didn’t mind waiting. I already knew he would deliver a good massage, so there was no need to rush.

    Not long after, Yook arrived and I went down to receive him. We did the session in my hotel room, although the setup wasn’t exactly ideal. The bed was too soft and too low, which made things rather restrictive. Even using a pillow while lying face down wasn’t particularly comfortable.

    Still, Yook was there, and I was looking forward to catching up with him again — even if the hotel bed wasn’t exactly designed for this kind of work. 

    After two hours, I felt refreshed — and, naturally, hungry again.

    I sent Yook off and decided to drop S’Sense a message, just to try my luck and see if I could book Mr Knott for a session in the afternoon before meeting Khun R again.

    With no immediate plans, I grabbed some snacks and went to bed. Then, sometime later, my phone buzzed. S’Sense had unexpectedly replied to my inquiry. Still half-asleep, I confirmed the reservation and went straight back to sleep.

    18 September 2026

    Once again, I woke up before my alarm despite going to bed late. I don’t even wake up this early in Singapore! 😂

    After washing up, I headed down for breakfast. My hotel breakfast isn’t exactly five-star or InterContinental level, but it’s still pretty good overall. Though some days, I do question the menu choices!

    After breakfast, I went back to my room to chill and prepare for my next appointment at S’Sense Massage.

    I had wanted to try Mr Knott for the longest time, dating back to my earlier visits a few years ago when Mr Singha was my go-to therapist. Knott had since left the shop but recently returned. Luckily, I managed to slot myself into his schedule this time.

    S’Sense Massage — Mr Knott

    I booked a Grab about 20 minutes before my appointment. The shop is only around 5 minutes away, but with lunchtime traffic, I figured it was better to leave some buffer.

    In no time, I was back at S’Sense. The shop and its surrounding neighbourhood felt familiar yet strangely distant. It had been quite a while since my last visit.

    I was ushered to a seat and asked to show my booking message for verification. Mr Knott was already at the counter waiting. First impression? He actually looked better in real life than in his photos — slightly buffer, with a very pleasant smile.

    Once he realised I was his next client, he came over and handled the administrative stuff. He speaks basic English and is easy to understand. After payment, he brought me through to the back alley where more rooms are located.

    He asked me to shower while he prepared the room. After a quick rinse, I waited for him to return.

    When he came back, he went through the usual S’Sense SOP, including explaining the tipping arrangements. I already knew the drill, but I let him finish his introduction anyway. 😂

    Knott gave me more of an E-person vibe — easy to talk to and quite candid.

    His massage was medium to firm, with plenty of long, deep strokes. You can definitely feel the familiar S’Sense style, but he also adds his own touch to it, which made the session feel like his own rather than simply following a formula. Overall, the massage was amazing and this meet up with Mr Knott was long awaited. I will repeat him again and as to why –  I will leave the exciting details to my in-depth review. So stay tuned! 

    I grabbed a ride back to the hotel and texted Khun R to confirm our meeting time. While waiting, I popped into 7-Eleven to grab two of my favourites — fish maw soup and Pad See Ew.

    Halfway through my meal, Khun R arrived. I headed down to pick him up, and we went back to the room.

    Before dinner, we decided to hit the hotel steam room for about 15 minutes — partly to relax and partly to work up an appetite. 😂 While sitting there, we chatted and started brainstorming ideas for a possible November trip. We eventually settled on Koh Larn — a chance to escape Bangkok for a day or two, catch some sun and enjoy a change of scenery.

    If anyone is even slightly interested in a Koh Larn adventure, let me know!

    After cooling down and freshening up, the hunger finally kicked in. We debated between Kod Talay seafood buffet and Korean BBQ. Since it was Friday evening, we figured the queue at Kod Talay would be crazy, so Korean BBQ won.

    We took the BTS to Nana, where Khun R led the way towards Korean Town. It was nice simply walking around Bangkok together and catching up along the way. We soon reached his favourite Korean BBQ restaurant. I told Khun R to order whatever he liked, and I added a few dishes of my own.

    We continued catching up over dinner and the rain started pouring again. Luckily, we had already finished eating, so there was nothing left to do but sit there and wait for the rain to ease.

    Once the rain became lighter, we walked over to Terminal 21 for a little exploring before heading to Dreamboys so Khun R could clock in for attendance. After that, we squeezed in a foot massage before heading back to the hotel. Back at the room, we continued chatting late into the night and worked on our November trip plans some more and off to bed we went. 

    19 September 2026

    We woke up slightly later, and both Khun R and I headed down for breakfast. After breakfast, I could tell he was still sleepy, so we went back to bed and we ended up sleeping until late noon.

    Eventually, it was time to send him off for the last time on this trip. We said our goodbyes and looked forward to our November plans.

    With my flight only in the evening, I headed out for some lunch before returning to the hotel to rest and pack. And just like that, the trip was coming to an end.

    Time really flies when you’re having fun.

    This was another short but memorable Bangkok trip, filled with new therapists, familiar faces, good food, plenty of rain and, of course, lots of catching up with Khun R.

    Now, I’m already looking forward to November.

    See you again soon, Bangkok. 🇹🇭

  • 010.4 Review: Prestige – Yook 2.0

    Hello, it is BMM – Taeng Mo again! As my command of English is not as good as BMM – Sawng’s, I have asked generative AI to help polish up my grammar and sentence structure. Fret not, the experiences and main points are all personal experiences of mine. Generative AI has helped me be able to share my happiness and reviews with you. 

    Shop: Prestige Massage 

    Date: August 2026

    Therapist: Yook

    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Aromatherapy Massage + 30 Minutes Scrub

    Cost: 1199 Baht + 890 Baht = 2089 Baht

    Tips: 2000 Baht, minimum 200 Baht

    This was not one of those spontaneous “I’m in Bangkok, let’s see where the night takes me” trips. This one was a semi-planned trip, coordinated with the rest of the BMMs, and I really appreciate everyone for making the time and effort to gather together in Bangkok.

    One of the things I enjoy about these trips is the opportunity to explore. Whenever possible, I like trying new shops and therapists so I can contribute something useful to this website and, hopefully, help fellow BMMs discover someone worth checking out.

    But this time, my body had other plans.

    After all the travelling, activities and general wear and tear, I was in such a wrecked state that experimenting with someone completely new wasn’t exactly what I needed. I needed someone I knew could deliver.

    And that’s how I ended up returning to Prestige Massage.

    The location couldn’t have been more convenient. Prestige is just a three-minute walk from my hotel, and the booking process is incredibly straightforward. I can select my therapist through LINE, arrange a time and get everything confirmed without much fuss.

    More importantly, I already knew who I wanted.

    Yook.

    I had previously had a session with him, so I already knew what he was capable of and, more importantly, that he could work on the areas that were giving me trouble. When your body is already crying for help, sometimes familiarity beats experimentation.

    Yook and I have also kept in touch periodically through Instagram and LINE. During one of our conversations, I found out that he had recently learned some new techniques, including scrub and Jetlag Massage.

    He told me that the next time I came back, he would incorporate some of these new techniques into my session.

    I didn’t tell him when I would be back.

    In fact, I deliberately kept quiet because I thought it would be fun to make it a surprise reunion.

    Except…

    It wasn’t much of a surprise.

    At some point, Yook mentioned that he already knew I was coming.

    My immediate assumption was that the admin had told him.

    So much for my grand surprise reunion. 😂

    Still, there was something quite nice about returning to a familiar therapist and knowing that, this time around, there would be some new techniques added to the experience.

    And with my body in the state it was in, I was more than ready to see what Yook had learned since my last visit.

    I walked into Prestige Massage with about three minutes to spare, and there was Yook already waiting for me on the ground floor.

    The moment our eyes met, he gave me that warm smile.

    And just like that, I knew I was in good hands today.

    After settling the admin stuff and making payment, Yook ushered me into the lift and we started catching up. It honestly felt less like meeting a therapist and more like catching up with an old friend whom I hadn’t seen in a while.

    We reached the room and I slowly settled in while Yook prepared everything. He handed me a towel, and I knew the drill. He told me he would go get the items while I took my shower.

    Time for the new technique

    After my shower, Yook instructed me to lie on the bed and get ready for the scrub.

    I don’t usually do scrubs, so I honestly wasn’t quite sure what to expect. What surprised me was that he didn’t immediately jump into the scrubbing. Instead, he started with a little warm-up — almost like some gentle stretching strokes to prepare my body.

    An interesting way to start, and one that I definitely appreciated.

    As usual, we talked throughout the session. My Thai has improved quite a bit since my previous trips, and I was actually quite proud that I could now hold a proper, simple conversation with him. I’ve even been mistaken for a Thai by other Thais on occasion, so apparently the hard work is paying off!

    But while we were chatting away, I could also feel that Yook was putting in 100% effort into the session.

    He really took his time with the scrub, making sure he covered every nook and cranny without making it uncomfortable or painful. Instead, it was surprisingly relaxing.

    Before I knew it, the scrub was over.

    I jumped back into the shower while Yook changed the sheets and prepared the room for the main event.

    And honestly, rinsing everything off felt fantastic. My skin felt incredibly smooth and refreshed.

    I was really glad I gave Yook the opportunity to show me what he had learned.

    The main event — 90 minutes of oil massage

    Back on the bed, it was time for the 90-minute oil massage.

    I told Yook about the areas that were giving me the most trouble, and he acknowledged them and assured me that he would work on them.

    As he started working through my body, I quickly discovered that there were other areas that were sore too — areas I hadn’t even realised were contributing to my problems.

    Yook explained that some of these areas could be connected to the problem areas I had originally mentioned.

    One of the biggest surprises was my shoulders.

    I hadn’t specifically told him that my shoulders were giving me trouble, but he picked up on it almost immediately.

    That’s one of the things I appreciate about a good therapist. Sometimes you don’t even know where the problem is until they find it for you.

    Yook then brought out some of the new Jetlag Massage techniques he had learned and started working on my neck and shoulders.

    The difference was almost immediate.

    I could feel everything opening up, the tension gradually releasing and the blood flow returning. That deep soreness I hadn’t even realised was there started to disappear.

    I had to give him credit — his newly improved skills were definitely showing.

    Turning over, he continued with the rest of his sequence, spending a little more time concentrating on my shoulders. By this point, I was extremely relaxed.

    And then, inevitably, my inner sailor decided it was time to make an appearance. 😂

    Yook, probably having encountered plenty of sailors in his line of work, casually asked whether I wanted to reach my destination.

    Well…

    Of course I wanted to reach my destination.

    After all, if the massage had already managed to reset my wrecked body, reaching the final destination would certainly be the cherry on top. 😉

    Final thoughts

    Overall, I can definitely see an improvement in Yook’s massage skills and techniques compared with my previous visit.

    The scrub was something new for me, and I’m glad I gave him the opportunity to try it out. His Jetlag Massage techniques, particularly around my neck and shoulders, were another pleasant surprise.

    More importantly, there was a noticeable level of care and effort throughout the entire session. He listened to what I told him, identified areas I hadn’t even considered, and adjusted his work accordingly.

    I’m really glad I got to know Yook, and I’ll definitely continue supporting him.

    Given how wrecked my body was this trip, having someone familiar who knows how to reset me properly was exactly what I needed.

    So perhaps I’ll make it a point to find Yook whenever I’m back in Bangkok.

    Then again…

    Let’s see what the next trip brings. 😏

    Do note that this is my personal experience with Yook and your experience may vary. If you have engaged Yook and have received the same or different experience, do share it with me if you are comfortable via email or a Discord message. If you have anyone else to recommend from Prestige, do let me know as well. I would very much like to try.  

  • 010.3 Review: The Residences – Sejun

    Hello, this is BMM – Sawng.

    Shop: The Residence at Sala Daeng
    Date: August 2026
    Therapist: Sejun
    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Oil Aromatherapy
    Cost: 1590 Baht
    Tips: 2000 Baht

    To know more about getting to The Residence and the preparation for a massage service at The Residence, please read our Introduction: The Residence post for more information. 🙂 

    When Sejun was first introduced to The Residences, he did create a small commotion in the massage lover community. People were wondering if Sejun was Korean, or Thai. BMM – Taeng Mo did a little snooping and discovered that Sejun was, in fact, Thai.

    Upon arrival at The Residences, I was pleasantly surprised by Sejun’s look. Based on his appearance, he can certainly pass off as a Korean. Sejun, as his work name, is a very smart marketing choice. Sejun is very handsome and does look like a K-Pop idol. He sports a typical Korean K-pop idol hairstyle too.

    Sejun is a blind box at The Residences, meaning that he does not reveal his face in The Residences promotional materials. For Sejun, it certainly did work in his favour as his name created the hype for people to want to try him out. He certainly belongs to the category of rare happy blind box opening instead of a disappointment. 

    When Sejun approached me with my welcome drink, I could already see that he had the face of a K-pop idol and the body of a demon. His muscles were already budging out of his intentionally undersized shirt. 

    Sejun was a man of few words. He did not speak much through the massage session and I could not ascertain his command of English. This quietness (or shyness) from Sejun can be perceived as a form of distance to some people. If you are uncomfortable with silence, Sejun may not be the right therapist for you. However, if you are someone who is not chatty and enjoys silence, Sejun will be a great choice of therapist for you. 

    Sejun starts off the massage with the standard The Residences training, placing a warm towel on your foot to clean it, then repeating the process for your other foot. With most new therapists, I will request for a medium massage pressure to ascertain his strength for my readers. With Sejun, his medium was definitely medium pressure.

    Sejun massage had a lot of relaxing long strokes and his massage concentrated heavily on the upper body. I guessed that for a 90 minute duration massage, about 50 to 60 minutes was spent on your upper body. There was minimal attention given to the lower body.

    While the massage was on-going. He was very professional with his massage and did not incorporate sensuality into his massage technique.

    Nearing the end of the massage, he did ask if I wanted something special. I asked what specials he was good at. He offered body to body massage for a 2000 Baht tip. The body to body massage itself is already worth the 2000 Baht tip. What made it even better was that Sejun was the one doing it. You could feel his muscles rubbing against yours and by the end of it, we laid side by side, enjoying each other’s companionship in silence. The kind of silence that is actually enjoyable and relaxing.

    On a personal note, Korean looking men are not really guys that I do find attractive. Objectively speaking, Sejun is a very handsome man with very good muscles. I will highly recommend Sejun if you are looking for a Korean looking massage therapist who is good. Will I repeat Sejun again? Probably not, as he is not the man I will feel horny for. 

    Do note that my personal experience with Sejun may differ from yours. You may have a better experience than I have had. If you have engaged with Sejun and would like to share your experience with me, please feel free to reach out to me via an email or with a Discord message. 

  • 010.2 Review: The Residences – Lica

    Hello, this is BMM – Sawng.

    Shop: The Residence at Sala Daeng
    Date: August 2026
    Therapist: Lica
    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Oil Aromatherapy
    Cost: 1590 Baht
    Tips: 2000 Baht

    To know more about getting to The Residence and the preparation for a massage service at The Residence, please read our Introduction: The Residence post for more information. 🙂 

    When Lica approached me with my welcome drink, I was glad that he looked exactly like the photograph he used in The Residences promotional materials. Furthermore, with some sleuthing, we found his Instagram account and he does look the same as per his Instagram photographs.

    Lica is about 170cm to 175cm tall, with fair skin tone and good complexion. He is very lean with definite abs. His pecs are also big and sexy. He may not be as thick and huge as other therapists in The Residences, but his leanness and low body fat does make his physical body very attractive and appealing.

    Lica had basic conversational English and he could express his thoughts into English without hesitation. If you prefer an English speaking therapist, Lica can be your choice of consideration.

    As per all Residences massages, the therapist will place a warm towel on your feet to clean them first. By default, I request for medium strength for all new therapists to gauge what their medium strength is for my readers. Lica’s medium is indeed medium, neither too light nor too heavy. Good for people who are starting out in massages. However, if you like a stronger massage, do request for a strong pressure instead. 

    Lica’s execution of his massage technique is the basic version of how The Residences trains their therapists. The flow of his massage style mimics the standard The Residences, Klover and History of Massage training. He does put in extra effort to execute long strokes that calms and relaxes your mind, with increased pressure on bigger muscle groups.

    Throughout the massage, the chemistry between Lica and I was great. He often praised my looks while I thought he was really cute. We had a nice positive vibe before he popped the question of a happy ending.

    I asked him to take everything off and he quoted 2000 Baht for it. I agreed. As I played with his body, he suddenly oiled up his belly. For veteran massage go-ers, you know what this means. It means that Lica was getting ready to give me a body to body massage.

    Lica’s body to body massage was above average and we did tease each other till we both almost reached our point of no return. However, as both of us wanted to reserve our horniness, we did not assist each other in reaching and surpassing the point of no return. 


    The difference between Lica and my previous massage therapist Dave was totally opposite end of the spectrum. Lica was totally into me and I was totally into him too. Therefore, the massage experience between Lica and I was very enjoyable.

    However, will I repeat Lica again? Probably not. I will want to try other therapists and there are better therapists in The Residences to repeat for me.

    Do note that my personal experience with Lica may differ from yours. You may have a better experience than I have had. If you have engaged with Lica and would like to share your experience with me, please feel free to reach out to me via an email or with a Discord message. 

  • 010.1 Review: The Residences – Dave

    Hello, this is BMM – Sawng.

    Shop: The Residence at Sala Daeng
    Date: August 2026
    Therapist: Dave
    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Oil Aromatherapy
    Cost: 1590 Baht
    Tips: 2000 Baht

    To know more about getting to The Residence and the preparation for a massage service at The Residence, please read our Introduction: The Residence post for more information. 🙂 

    As written in my main blog entry, I was early to The Residences at Sala Daeng. It is highly recommended to be early rather than late or on time. If you are late, the treatment time will still end on the scheduled time. There will be no extension for lateness.

    As I was 30 minutes early, I waited for 15 minutes at ground level before heading upstairs to level 4. Dave is about 180cm tall and has a very boyish charm. However, he has since gained weight. He is no longer as lean as he was when he submitted his photoshoot photographs to The Residences. If you like a slightly meaty, but not too meaty, boyish man, Dave is definitely your go to guy.

    After washing up in the room, I waited for Dave to re-enter the room. When he re-entered the room, I laid down on the bed face down, naked. Dave started the standard SOP of The Residences to place a warm towel on my feet to clean it. Dave’s massage followed the training of The Residences, History of Massage and Klover. It was not sensual at all, but it was very relaxing.

    He had many long and deep strokes, repeated them multiple times, sensefully. It was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep a few times. I tried my best to stay awake to enjoy the massage but I guess I must have micro-napped a few times as I caught myself waking up. That was how relaxing and good his massage was. For people who enjoy a medium strength, Dave does deliver an appropriate medium strength that is not too strong, nor too weak.

    Nearing the end of the massage, the inevitable question of wanting a happy ending was asked by Dave. He requested 1500 Baht as tips. I asked if he did body to body massage, he said yes and requested the tips to be elevated to 2000 Baht. I acceded.

    Dave proceeded to execute his body to body massage, mechanically. From the start of the massage till this step, I knew that Dave was not into me. I was not Dave’s type. Neither was Dave my type. It was unfortunate that both of us were not each other’s type. I closed my eyes and imagined Dave to be someone else and to try to enjoy the body to body massage, but it was futile.

    I motioned for Dave to lie beside me. We laid adjacent to each other and chatted with each other. It was actually more comfortable this way than forcing something to happen. This is where I would like to emphasize the importance of chemistry between the massage therapist and the client.

    If you met a therapist whom you vibe off with, have great chemistry, it is very likely that the therapist will be open to do many things with you, willingly. We are all humans and we each have our own preference and personality. Dave and I just did not have chemistry and that is no one’s fault.

    While the happy ending with Dave was not a happy one, the massage with him was definitely a happy one. Hopefully, your massage experience with Dave will be much better than mine.

    Do note that my personal experience with Dave may differ from yours. You may have a better experience than I have had. If you have engaged with Dave and would like to share your experience with me, please feel free to reach out to me via an email or with a Discord message. 

  • 010. August 2026

    Hello everyone, I (BMM – Sawng) went to Bangkok from 8 to 12 August, taking advantage of the long weekend in Singapore to rest in Bangkok. I was joined by BMM – Ari for the full duration, while BMM – Taeng Mo joined from 9 to 12 August. BMM – Power Ranger felt FOMO and made an impromptu decision to join us from 8 to 10 August.

    The places I visited on this trip are, 

    • Dream Boys, 
    • The Residences at Sala Daeng, and
    • Olivia Massage.

    For this trip, I have intentionally reduced the number of places to visit while increasing the frequency to the shops listed above. 

    The therapists and boys that I have engaged on this trip are, 

    • Dave (The Residences at Sala Daeng),
    • Khun New Boy (Dream Boys)
    • Khun C (freelancer),
    • Lica (The Residences at Sala Daeng), and
    • Sejun (The Residences at Sala Daeng).

    Prior to departure, I shortlisted the following therapists from The Residences, 

    • Dave, 
    • Lica,
    • Sejun, 
    • Arco, and
    • Captain. 

    My priority was Captain -> Sejun -> Dave -> Lica -> Arco. Captain was first as he had the most limited slots, followed by Sejun. Dave, Lica and Arco had more slots than the former 2 which made booking for them much easier.

    Once I confirmed with The Residences LINE admin that Captain was not working on the dates that I was there, I immediately asked for Sejun’s availability. I needed to know what the magic Sejun had which led to him being constantly fully booked. Thankfully, I managed to secure a slot with him.

    Dave and Arco were recommended to me by my readers while Lica was someone whom I thought was really cute and wanted to try him out. I picked Dave over Arco for this trip as Dave’s pictures were more captivating than Arco’s. I settled Dave’s booking then proceeded to book Lica’s slot. 

    8 August 2026

    After clearing immigration and checking into my hotel, I had a quick shower and cleaned myself for my first massage appointment. I had scheduled to meet Dave (The Residences) at 4pm. At about 3:20pm, I booked a GrabBike and went over to The Residences.

    As I was slightly early, I waited downstairs till it was about 3:45pm before heading upstairs to level 4. When Dave came out to greet me with the welcome drink, I sighed internally. Dave, being a blindbox, was not my type. Furthermore, I could tell from his face that he was no longer lean. The photographs of him being super lean featured in The Residences therapist photograph album must have been a little dated.

    While the massage was on-going, it was quite comfortable and relaxing. I almost dozed off two to four times. That was how relaxing Dave’s massage was. However, when it came to the special, it was rather lacklustre. I could sense that I was not Dave’s type and Dave could probably sense that he was not my type either.

    I will still be fair to Dave and write a review about him. It is just that, sometimes, chemistry between the therapist and the customer matters too. If you do not vibe with your therapist or your therapist does not vibe with you, the encounter you have may not be as eventful.

    We are all humans. We all have preferences and a personality. This is why, for all my reviews and blog entries, I always specify that different people will encounter different levels of service received. It is just a very human thing. There is nothing good, bad, right, or wrong about it. It’s just how things are.

    After this rather disappointing event, combined with the lack of appetite, I told BMM – Power Ranger that I just wanted to eat something simple around our hotels and we settled for Japanese curry rice and McDonalds. Yes, we had 2 meals back-to-back.

    We rested a while in our individual hotels after our meal, freshened up and went over to meet BMM – Ari at Dream Boys. For today, all three of us have made arrangements. BMM – Power Ranger and I have pre-booked our boys at Dream Boys while BMM – Ari opted to import a boy from Moonlight to Dream Boys.

    We opened a bottle of Malibu (I like rum) for myself and BMM – Power Ranger, while BMM – Ari finished his remaining bottle of whiskey with his boy. We interacted with our boys, with each other and partied the night away. Soon, Dream Boys was about to close and we settled our bill, parted ways to our own hotel. 

    The boy I picked shall be nicknamed Khun New Boy, shortened to Khun NB. I am currently going to gatekeep his name and number as I really do enjoy my time with him. Till the day I get bored of him, or some tension arises between us, I will then reveal his identity.

    Khun NB was someone I had my sights on since my June trip. During then, I saw him and was like, DAMN, he is totally my type. When I wanted to signal him to come down to sit with me, another manager beat me to it. He ended up going off with that customer and not returning. I was a little disappointed. Fate then had it that I managed to get acquainted with him during that trip. Yet, I did not manage to bring him back to my hotel room due to me not feeling up to it in June.

    On my July trip, I texted him to meet him, but he mentioned that he had to return to his hometown to visit his family. We then decided that it’ll be better that we meet up in August, which was this trip.

    Finally, I managed to meet up with him and brought him back to my room. My nonchalance and reticent face did invoke many “are you okay?” from him and I had to assure him that I was feeling good with him. Because of this, there were many check-ins from him to ensure that I was alright. I guess I appreciated that. He was a professional. He wanted to make sure I was feeling comfortable and at ease around him. I was.

    While his oar was not particularly large as compared to other boys, he definitely had the technique nailed down. He could rag doll me, which was something I am quite fond of.

    With some alcohol in his system, he was not able to sustain his hardness to reach his destination. We decided to row our oars and sail in our boat individually to reach our destination. Despite all these, I genuinely enjoyed his company and liked the way he and I communicated with each other.

    Him not being able to reach his destination while rowing my boat did get to him. I told him that I was going to Dream Boys the next day. He asked if I would pick him again, I said I would. He then replied that it was okay if I did not, cause his performance today was not up to par. I reassured him that such things are common and acceptable to me. He made me promise to him that I would pick him tomorrow at Dream Boys and I made a pinky promise with him.

    He acknowledged my promise with him and he went back home. 

    9 August 2026

    BMM – Ari has a favourite restaurant, Saneh Jaan. He requested BMM – Power Ranger and I to meet up with him for lunch. Knowing that we are super casual dressed down folks, BMM – Ari reminded us to dress up for the Michelin starred restaurant. We did and we enjoyed our meal.

    The reason why we would return to Dream Boys again tonight after last night’s adventure was because BMM – Taeng Mo was arriving and he wanted to meet his boy at Dream Boys.

    With such a huge gap between lunch and meeting them at Dream Boys at 10pm, I already made plans with Khun C to meet up with him. Khun C has been a fabulous sailor with his huge oar. We met up at my hotel and he rowed my boat. We both were exhausted after that and we took a nap. The nap superseded our plans to go to an onsen together to relax.

    I was glad that Khun C managed to relax too, as he is not someone in the industry. He has a normal day to day job which is quite mentally and physically demanding on him. This is why I suggested we go to an onsen together.

    I did initially want to bring Khun C to Nobu Bangkok, but he was a little undressed despite me telling him to dress up. I then canceled the reservation and decided to go to Mo Mo Paradise instead. Oh boy, Mo Mo Paradise is delicious and the food quality is very good at its price point. I dare say, it beats Haidilao, being similar in concept. 

    After eating, we bade farewell to each other and I made my way over to Dream Boys to find Khun NB. 

    When I reached Dream Boys, I could not see Khun NB at all. I was a little puzzled as we did make a promise to each other. I texted him to tell him I had arrived at Dream Boys and asked where he was. He told me that he was outside of the shop and will be returning to the shop to see me.

    Turns out, when he arrived at work at about 9pm, he did not see me. He assumed that I was not going to be there and he was afraid of texting me. He was not confident that I would keep my promise. As it happened, another customer wanted to bring him out and he accompanied the customer out. Upon finishing and seeing my text, he came back to the shop to accompany me. He apologised to me and explained the situation.

    I was okay with his explanation and did not pursue any further. It did not bother me that I was going to be the second boat he was with today, because deep down, I knew that for today, I was going to row his boat. With him expressing that he could either be the sailor or the boat, I wanted to try to be his sailor for the night.

    After he reached my room, I expressed interest in sailing his boat. He was a little apprehensive at first and told me that he was not very good at it. I told him that it was okay and we shall see how far we can sail together in his boat.

    As expected, he tried his best to fulfil his role but he tapped out. I guess he just did not have much experience being rowed. I was just a little disappointed, but not too much as I just wanted to see how far I can go with him.

    We then laid on the bed together, chatted with each other and enjoyed each other’s company. Soon, I felt sleepy and told him that for tomorrow, I had plans at night which meant that I could not meet him at Dream Boys. I told him that I will be looking for him the day after tomorrow and he agreed.

    This time, I made sure to specify to him that I would be there to meet him. No more confusions or ungrounded insecurities. He fully understood and we parted ways. 

    10 August 2026
    After waking up, I rummaged through my luggage and saw the gifts I bought for Khun C still in my luggage. Oh god. I texted Khun C to let him know that his gifts from Singapore were still with me. We made arrangements to meet up the next day. It was a little sad for me to see that I had forgotten the gifts, as I wanted to have dinner with Khun NB tomorrow instead. Nonetheless, giving Khun C the souvenirs from Singapore was more important.

    BMM – Taeng Mo texted me to let me know that he was awake and we proceeded to McDonalds for brunch. We chatted a little then I went back to my hotel to prepare for my massage appointment with Lica (The Residences).

    Lica, as compared to Dave, is two totally different experiences. The chemistry between Lica and I was great. Lica is about 170cm to 175cm tall, with fair complexion. The massage was good and we had body to body massage. I will detail an in-depth review of Lica later on.


    Having spare time before my dinner, I decided to go to Olivia Massage for a 90 minute leg massage. I always do a 90 minute leg massage as I feel like 30 minutes or even 60 minutes is too short. For leg massages at most massage shops, you are generally unable to select your own therapist. Though, you may verbalise your preference for a male or female staff. The staff are rostered to ensure that everyone has a fair share of work.

    For this massage session, my therapist was not as good as compared to my previous therapist. There were just many little misses that compounded up to a slightly not-so-satisfying experience. Perhaps I could verbalise my suggestions for him to optimise the massage experience for me. But, I am just sometimes too passive for all these suggestions. Hopefully, my next session with Olivia will be better.

    I then headed over to Siam Discovery for our must-eat restaurant of the trip, Kungthong Seafood Restaurant. BMM – Ari, BMM – Taeng Mo and his boy and our mutual Thai language classmate joined me for dinner. My Thai language classmate told me that prior to meeting us, he engaged Nigel (The Residences) for a massage session and it was a great experience. I will try to make an appointment with Nigel for my next trip.

    My Thai language classmate always wanted to experience how we BMM members experience Bangkok, so he requested us to bring him to a Go Go bar. In my opinion, Jupiter does have the best performances as compared to the other Go Go bars, so we went over.

    Mondays are generally the least busy day of the week for Go Go bars and the amount of customers reflects that. There were only a few other people at the bar. The boys were few too, with less than 20 of them available, out of which, only 2 were gays.

    It was a very disappointing experience for me as I am inclined to interact with gay boys more than straight boys. Do not get me wrong, some straight boys are able to deliver. They can interact with as much, or even more, passion as compared to gay boys. But, in my limited experience with straight boys, they usually pale in comparison. 

    With me at Jupiter was BMM – Ari and my classmate. BMM – Taeng Mo was supposed to be present with his boy but they fell asleep upon arriving back at their hotel to freshen up. 


    Halfway through the show at Jupiter, I felt kind of uncomfortable. The boys were not to my liking and the show was not relaxing me. I wanted to go elsewhere, I wanted to go somewhere familiar. So I decided to ditch my friends and told them that I would be going to Dream Boys. At this point, I was not sure if Khun NB was working. He was working for the past few days and perhaps he could take a break today from work.

    Upon entering Dream Boys, I seeked out the managers that usually serve me. I told them that I was going to just grab a quick beer or two and did not need the booth seats. After sitting down, Khun NB appeared before me and asked if he could sit beside me. How could I say no? I asked him to sit beside me and bought him a drink. I told him for today, I was not feeling it and I would not be bringing him back. 

    I assured him that I would do so the next day and we spent some time at Dream Boys together. As Dream Boys was closing, I tipped him and we said our goodbyes. I told him that I was going to eat with BMM – Taeng Mo and his boy. After meeting up with BMM – Taeng Mo and his boy, I received a text from Khun NB asking if he could join us for the meal. I agreed.

    We met again at Silom Edge, chatted amongst ourselves while I downed two small bowls of noodles. For Khun NB, it was 3 bowls of small noodles and one plate of rice with charsiew. He was hungry. I was happy that he texted me to join me, as that meant that his tummy was full for the night.

    Khun NB sent me back home on his motorcycle. During the trip back, he motioned for my hands and asked to place my hands on his waist. He always had all these small little actions which made me feel comfortable around him. We kissed goodbye and I went back to my room to sleep. 

    11 August 2026

    Upon waking up, I decided to go to Kaithong at the Central Embassy for lunch, solo. BMM – Taeng Mo woke up and wanted to join me so I asked him to come along. We ordered my favourite garlic pork, mushroom kailan and stir fried noodles.

    The food at Kaithong is really good. I always enjoy eating there. I could not order more dishes as I had a massage appointment with the always fully booked Sejun (The Residences). We took the BTS back to our hotels and I prepared myself for the massage.

    Upon arrival at The Residences, I was pleasantly surprised by Sejun’s look. BMM – Taeng Mo did a little snooping around and discovered that Sejun is not actually Korean, but Thai. Yet, with his appearances, he can certainly pass off as Korean. Sejun, being his work name, is a very smart choice. He was very Korean looking, very handsome, as if he was from a K-Pop idol group. Based on looks alone, I can understand why Sejun is so popular.

    What helps Sejun to be even more popular is that his body is very lean and muscular too. He had the complete package of looks and physique. His massage was not the best, but definitely above average. I will be writing a separate review entry on my massage experience with him so stay tuned for it. 

    Sejun is definitely worth the advance reservation and trying out once.

    After my massage, I went over to Siam Paragon to shop for groceries on behalf of my mother. After shopping, Khun C met up with me and we chatted about life. He will soon depart for another province for work, only returning to Bangkok on the weekends. I encouraged him to pursue his career. Deep down, I know, my time with Khun C will be limited and I should cherish all moments with him.

    BMM – Ari, BMM – Taeng Mo and his boy joined Khun C and I for dinner. I had to introduce them to Mo Mo Paradise and they all agreed that Mo Mo Paradise was delicious and should become one of our staple restaurants in Bangkok.

    Khun C sent me back to my hotel to retrieve his Singapore souvenirs. I asked if he wanted to row my boat, but he politely declined. He cited the lateness as the primary reason as he had to go to work early the next day. Khun C did not have private transportation around Bangkok, so he had to travel home via the BTS and MRT system, which would have taken him about 90 minutes to reach home. I respected his decision and bade farewell to him.

    I then proceeded to take a quick shower to freshen up and take a GrabBike to Dream Boys. Usually I will take the BTS and walk over, but it was getting real late. We were supposed to be at Dream Boys at 10pm, but by the time Khun C left me, it was 10pm too. I had to try to be there as soon as possible as our Thai language classmate wanted to join us at Dream Boys.

    After entering Dream Boys, I saw Khun NB on stage and waved hi to him. He smiled back and I motioned to him to join me at the booth seats. He immediately stepped off the stage to join me. Remembering that some alcohol would cause him to not be able to sustain his rowing, I politely requested him to drink non-alcoholic drinks.

    Halfway through, perhaps due to his job requiring to consume some of the client’s alcohol, he requested the manager to add some alcohol to his drink. He assured me that he was still able to deliver me to my destination with a cheeky grin. I allowed him to do so.

    We spent the remaining time at Dream Boys with fun, joy and laughter. Very soon, Dream Boys was about to close and we parted ways with BMM – Taeng Mo and BMM – Ari.

    Upon reaching my hotel room, I told him that I was not feeling up to any action tonight. I just wanted to be beside him, cuddle him and enjoy the time with him. We chatted while we cuddled in nude.

    It was such a comfortable experience and the amount of emotional value he brought with the companionship was indescribable. He then suggested if we could meet tomorrow before I fly, perhaps for lunch.

    I thought about it and agreed. I texted BMM – Taeng Mo to tell him to bring Taeng Mo’s boy and himself to meet Khun NB and I for lunch the next day.

    I then struggled with a decision. To allow him to sleepover or to sleep alone. On one hand, I did not want to see him travel 40 minutes back home, sleep, then wake up and travel another 40 minutes to meet me again. On the other hand, I am someone who really enjoys personal, alone time before bedtime.

    Despite all the good feelings that he gave me, I decided to stick to prioritising myself first. I apologised to him that I could not allow him to stay over as I really needed my solo time before sleeping. I told him that even in Singapore, I needed it. He understood. After he left, he texted me to reassure me that he understood and told me that I need not feel bad about sending him home. He’s such a great lad.

    I had a good night’s rest and by the time I woke up, he already texted me that he was on his way to meeting me. 

    12 August 2026

    BMM – Taeng Mo and I had the same flight back to Singapore. He decided to come over to my hotel to deposit his bags as we were sharing the same airport transfer to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

    With Khun NB’s text telling me he reached Dusit Central Park, I was a little caught off-guard. We did not really explicitly state the meeting venue. He perceived it to be meeting at the mall where we would have our lunch, while I perceived it to be my hotel where he would pick me up.

    This is what happens when you do not communicate clearly. I told him to stay there and I proceeded to check out. I ordered a GrabBike and within 5 minutes, I was at Dusit Central Park. We met up and went to eat together.

    Throughout the meal, our knees were in constant contact with each other. Even though it gradually became sweaty, I still refused to remove the skin-to-skin contact with him. Occasionally through the meal, I would stroke his sexy legs and smile at him. He appreciated the sweet gestures and would make a cute face back at me.

    No trip can end without a Thai Tea Bingsu. I suggested to everyone that we headed over to Silom Complex to, well, watch me eat a Thai Tea Bingsu and everyone agreed. After placing our orders at After You, I sat beside Khun NB and our knees continued to be in contact with each other.

    While we did not talk much to each other as I was eating the Bingsu, I was happy.

    It soon came time for us to head back to my hotel for my airport transfer. As the drizzle earlier stopped, both BMM – Taeng Mo’s boy and Khun NB offered to send us back on their motorcycles. We walked back to Dusit Central Park to collect the motorcycle and proceeded to the exit of the mall.

    Nearing the exit of the mall, we saw that it was raining. I whispered to his ear, “it’s okay, let’s go together to my hotel on your motorcycle.” He nodded his head. Upon exiting the mall, there was a short distance between the mall and the nearest shelter. We were hindered by a pick-up truck ahead of us which led to both him and I being caught in the rain. This hindrance builds up some annoyance in both of us. He then muttered something a bit loudly under his breath while we took shelter.

    I understood his annoyance as he saw that I was pretty wet. He offered me his rain-jacket and I assured him that I had a change of clothes and he needed it more. He smiled and put on his rain-jacket. We then continued on our way to the hotel.

    After dropping me off, he texted me an apology, saying that the pick-up truck hindrance caused him to be annoyed, which explained his louder voice and more direct tone when he spoke to me. To be honest, I was not expecting the apology. To me, that was normal human behaviour. Him apologising just made me realise how thoughtful he was. He wanted me to have a good impression of him, which I did.

    As I reached the airport, I reviewed in my mind of my interaction with him, being in person or through text. I realised that he is not much of a texter. Even when we are together, he rarely texts people, except for his family. Personally, I quite enjoy people who are not much of a texter as I am someone who is not a frequent texter as well. I often tell people, I will see and read your message, but I will only reply when I am free and available to do so. So, him not being a frequent texter suits my texting style too.

    It has only been one or two days since I have returned from Bangkok and the texts between him and I are countable with 2 hands. I appreciate that as we both have lives outside of each other. Till my next trip, I will maintain some text based distance with him, if that makes sense.

    My next trip is in November. It will be about 11 weeks till my next trip. If I am unable to tolerate this huge gap, I may make an impromptu trip in September or October.

    If you enjoyed my blog and would like to connect with me, feel free to reach out to me via Email or Discord.

    Till the next blog entry.

    Welcome to another entry in the Olivia Experience series.

    After I was done with Mr Keng (No. 1), I told BMM – Sawng about the session and promised to write a review. If you haven’t read my review of Mr Keng yet, it should be the previous post.

    BMM – Sawng encouraged me to book Mr Tiger, especially since I had no plans for the following day. I was more than happy to do so because I had wanted to try a session with him ever since I first saw his profile photo. I contacted the admin on LINE and managed to secure a 3:30 pm appointment.

    The next day, as I was leaving my hotel, I realised my eSIM had run out of data. I was basically navigating blind. Based on the photos I had seen, I knew the shop was somewhere near Boots, but it wasn’t the same outlet I had visited for Mr Keng the day before. I initially thought it was located further down towards Silom Soi 2, so I confidently walked in that direction. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find either the shop or Boots. I eventually gave up, headed to Silom Edge for a coffee, and then retraced my steps.

    I finally found Olivia Massage Soi 2/1, which is located about two or three units from the staircase when you come down from the BTS station. It’s surprisingly easy to miss because the signboard isn’t very prominent. You may also get confused by the other Olivia Massage outlet with the blue signboard further down the walkway.

    When I arrived, I saw Mr Tiger sitting outside chatting with his colleagues while waiting for me. I went inside, and the receptionist confirmed that I was the customer who had booked Mr Tiger. After payment, Mr Tiger handed me a pair of in-house slippers and brought me upstairs to the massage room.

    I’m not sure whether I had booked an early enough slot or if it’s simply their standard operating procedure, but I was once again assigned to the highest floor. Mr Tiger asked whether I was comfortable having both the Thai and oil massage in the same room, which I was perfectly fine with.

    After taking a shower, I waited for the usual Thai massage attire, but it never arrived. Either Mr Tiger had forgotten about it, or perhaps it wasn’t necessary. Either way, I didn’t mind experiencing the Thai massage without the traditional outfit.

    Mr Tiger spoke to me in Thai from the very beginning because he had overheard me speaking Thai with the receptionist and simply assumed I was Thai. We started with the Thai massage, and it exceeded my expectations.

    His Thai massage skills are easily among the best I’ve experienced—comfortably in my Top 3. He follows a familiar Thai massage sequence, but what stood out was his technique, confidence, and excellent control of pressure. His stretches were deep yet controlled, allowing me to feel a proper stretch without discomfort. With 15 years of experience in the industry, his expertise was evident throughout the session.

    We then moved on to the oil massage. This part was fairly standard and didn’t stand out as much as the Thai massage. That said, his pressure remained impressively firm throughout, and he managed to work out several stubborn knots around my shoulders. While the oil massage was good, I definitely felt that his Thai massage is where he truly excels.

    Once I turned over, Mr Tiger asked if I wanted to set sail and explained his pricing. Since I was already there, I decided I would very much like to reach my destination properly.

    As Mr Tiger proved to be a true-blue sailor, he mentioned that he liked to watch a few instructional videos so he could confidently set sail and guide us safely to our destination.

    Mr Tiger’s oar was a good size and comfortable to handle. The grip was thick but easy to hold. I helped Mr Tiger reach his destination first and gladly accepted all that he had to offer. Afterwards, he helped me reach my own destination while letting me continue playing with his oar along the way.

    Overall, Mr Tiger is a handsome, muscular therapist who clearly spends time working out and delivers consistently firm massages. His Thai massage was undoubtedly the highlight of the session, showcasing both his experience and his confidence in following a familiar, structured sequence. As with my previous visit, my only complaint remains the scent of the shower gel.

    After the session, I rushed back to my hotel to shower and reconnect to the Wi-Fi so I could update BMM – Sawng about the experience and document everything while it was still fresh in my memory.

    I’ve already got my eye on another therapist at Olivia, and I’m looking forward to seeing how that experience compares. Hopefully, it’ll be just as enjoyable.

    Do note that this is my personal experience with Mr Tiger and your experience may vary. If you have engaged Mr Tiger and have received the same or different experience, do share it with me if you are comfortable via email or a Discord message. 

  • 009.3 Review: Olivia – Keng

    Hello, this is BMM – Taeng Mo.

    Shop: Olivia Massage 7
    Date: July 2026
    Therapist: Mr Keng (No. 1)
    Massage Course: 1 Hour Foot Massage / 2 Hour Thai and Oil massage

    Cost: 350 Baht / 850 Baht
    Tips: 200 Baht / 1000 Baht

    To know more about getting to Olivia and the preparation for a massage service at Olivia Massage, please read our Introduction: Olivia / Wisdom Massage post for more information. 🙂 

    While I was on my impromptu secret trip to Thailand, I, of course, had to meet up with Sawng. It was my first full day in Bangkok and his last, so we planned our usual ritual—a quick one-hour massage.

    We walked from the BTS towards Wisdom Massage, passing by the familiar row of shops. The sidewalk was surprisingly quiet, with hardly anyone around. When we peeked into Wisdom, the place looked empty, so we decided to turn back and head to Olivia Massage 7 instead.

    As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the therapists sitting at the front of the shop and quickly ushered inside. I guess it’s the low season, so any customer who stops by is welcomed immediately. After choosing our massages and settling the payment, we found ourselves seated on the large throne-like massage chairs.

    For foot massages, you don’t get to choose your therapist, so it’s really down to luck whether you get a great one. I was assigned Mr. Keng (No. 1), the same therapist who had greeted us at the entrance and prepared my chair. Meanwhile, Sawng was assigned to Mr. Bobo (No. 18).

    Everything moved quickly at Olivia. My feet were washed, the throne was reclined into a fully flat bed, and Mr. Keng covered me with a comfortable blanket. From the moment he started, I knew I had lucked out. I had been hoping for a firm massage, and he absolutely delivered. His technique was spot on, with just the right amount of pressure.

    About two or three minutes into the massage, Sawng messaged me, “You got the one that you liked.”

    That was when I realised I recognised Mr. Keng. I had seen his photo on Olivia’s LINE account last year and had wanted to book him ever since. Somehow, by pure luck, I had been assigned to him.

    Fifteen minutes into the session, I was already messaging Sawng, asking whether I should book Mr. Keng again for either a traditional Thai massage or an oil massage. His foot massage was so impressive that I wanted to find out whether his full-body treatments were just as good.

    The fifty minutes flew by, followed by the short neck, shoulder, and back massage that concluded the session. By then, I knew I had to experience a full-body massage with him.

    I didn’t have the courage to ask Mr. Keng directly whether he had any availability later that day, so after returning to my hotel, I contacted the shop through their LINE account instead. 

    The admin took a while to reply and arrange the booking. My original plan was to book Mr. Keng for a late-night session after having dinner with a Singaporean friend who had been posted to Bangkok for work. Unfortunately, Mr. Keng wasn’t available that evening, and he would be on leave for the rest of my trip.

    Not wanting to leave Bangkok with any regrets, I decided to book a two-hour Thai and Oil massage before my dinner appointment. Fortunately, the admin managed to fit me in that very same day.

    After sending Sawng off at the airport, I returned to my hotel to rest and get ready for my second session with Mr. Keng. I underestimated the BTS travel time and ended up arriving slightly late. When I checked in at the reception, Mr. Keng immediately recognised me as the same customer he had treated just a few hours earlier.

    After settling the payment, Mr. Keng led me upstairs. It was my first time trying a full-body massage at Olivia. Climbing to the fourth floor was more tiring than expected, but I was assigned the corner room, which was surprisingly spacious and didn’t feel cramped at all.

    Mr. Keng asked me to take a shower first, and I replied in Thai. Only then did he realise that I could speak Thai, so for the rest of the session we chatted mostly in Thai, switching to English whenever I didn’t know the right Thai word.

    The shower facilities at Olivia were fairly basic. My only complaint was the shower gel, as I personally didn’t like its scent, although that’s entirely a matter of personal preference. Before leaving the room to give me some privacy, Mr. Keng handed me the traditional Thai massage outfit.

    After changing, he returned and asked me to lie face down before beginning the Thai massage. His style was quite different from the sequence I had experienced at other massage establishments. Rather than following a familiar routine, he worked intuitively, but his pressure was consistently firm and powerful. For a dry-style Thai massage, his strength was genuinely impressive.

    We chatted throughout the session, mostly in Thai with the occasional English word mixed in. As he worked on my thighs and inner thighs, my body reacted naturally. Mr. Keng appeared completely unfazed and handled the situation professionally while continuing the massage.

    Before long, it was time for the oil massage segment. After changing out of the Thai massage attire, I was again asked to lie face down. Personally, I thought this was where Mr. Keng truly excelled. He found several stubborn knots around my shoulders and worked patiently to loosen them. He also used a number of massage techniques and strokes that I hadn’t experienced before, particularly while working around my glutes.

    When it was time to turn over, Mr. Keng asked whether I was interested in an additional service. I agreed, curious to experience what he had to offer.  Mr Keng’s oar was nicely sized with quite a big paddle. He reached his destination and spread his offering all over. He also helped me reach my destination and allowed me to continue playing his oar. 

    The session concluded as expected, and I left feeling thoroughly satisfied with the overall experience.

    Overall, Mr. Keng is a highly skilled therapist with a muscular, daddy-like physique and exceptional strength. His firm pressure was exactly what I had been looking for, and I certainly didn’t regret making the last-minute reservation. If I return to Bangkok, he will definitely be someone I’d book again.

    After hearing how much I had enjoyed the session, Sawng encouraged me to return to Olivia and try another therapist I had been interested in. And so, the Olivia Experience series was born.

    Next up: Mr. Tiger (No. 20).

    Do note that this is my personal experience with Mr Keng and your experience may vary. If you have engaged Mr Keng and have received the same or different experience, do share it with me if you are comfortable via email or a Discord message. 

  • 009.2 Review: The Residences – Koe

    Hello, this is BMM – Sawng.

    Shop: The Residence at Sala Daeng
    Date: July 2026
    Therapist: Koe
    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Oil Aromatherapy
    Cost: 1590 Baht
    Tips: 2000 Baht

    To know more about getting to The Residence and the preparation for a massage service at The Residence, please read our Introduction: The Residence post for more information. 🙂 

    Having arrived at The Residences about 10 minutes earlier, I informed the counter staff that I had made an appointment with Koe and they told me to take a seat first. Koe quickly came out to welcome me with the welcome drink and a change of footwear. Oh boy, Koe is a very handsome man. His facial features are very masculine and he looks very close to the photographs uploaded onto The Residences therapist’s photograph album.

    The Residences at Sala Daeng has updated their therapist’s photograph album to include the height, waist and waist dimensions. I picked Koe prior to knowing all this information and was pleasantly surprised at his height. He is about 180cm to 185cm.

    Even with his uniform on, I could see that the uniform could barely contain the muscles underneath it. While leading me to the treatment room, we made small talk and his command of English is pretty good. Koe is definitely more on the extroverted side, being able to chat and handle conversation with ease.

    If you like a therapist that has a tanner skin tone, Koe is definitely your man. He has a very healthy tan with a very good complexion.

    The massage itself was very good. I opted for medium pressure for the massage. His delivery of medium pressure leaned more towards medium-strong. If you like a stronger massage, Koe definitely is able to satisfy you. If you like a more soft relaxing massage, do indicate to him that you will want a soft pressure massage.

    His massage techniques consist of spot therapy for tight knots and long strokes for general relaxation. It was also a very sensual massage. He knows how to place your hands and his hands in different places for you to experience different sensations.

    That itself is not the best part. The best part is that, Koe has incorporated body to body massage into his default massage package. Yes, that is right. You do not have to negotiate with him about the tips or the special service you want. Koe automatically delivered the body to body massage to me, which was a huge plus. His sensual massage techniques leading into body to body massage? Yes, please.

    At the end of the session, I tipped him 2000 Baht and he was happy with it. Koe is a very strong contender for repeat sessions. Now I understand why he is constantly booked out and advance reservation of week(s) is required to secure a slot with him.

    Koe definitely had the face of an angel, body of the devil.

    Is it then advisable to make the effort to book him in advance? Yes. I will be looking forward to my next session with Koe.

    Do note that my personal experience with Koe may differ from yours. You may have a better experience than I have had. If you have engaged Koe and would like to share your experience with me, please feel free to reach out to me via an email or with a Discord message. 

  • 009.1 Review: History of Massage – Sunji

    Hello, this is BMM – Sawng.

    Shop: History of Massage
    Date: July 2026
    Therapist: Sunji
    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Oil Aromatherapy
    Cost: 1490 Baht
    Tips: 2000 Baht

    To know more about getting to History of Massage and the preparation for a massage service at History of Massage, please read our Introduction: History of Massage post for more information. 🙂 

    Sunji has been my go to massage therapist ever since History of Massage started. Sunji is about 170cm tall. He is packed with muscles, 95kg of muscles, on track to bulking up to 100kg. 

    Sunji is also a micro-influencer on social media, with about 78,400 followers. This explains why he chooses to conceal his face and be a blind box. He is very handsome, having more cuteness to him than masculinity. Some may say he has the face of an angel, body of a devil. 

    Sunji’s command of English is conversational. He is able to have meaningful conversation in English with you. 

    Having had multiple massage sessions with Sunji since History of Massage started, I can safely assure you that Sunji is very experienced and skilful in massage execution. He was trained in proper massage techniques at a temple. Combine that with his very soft, warm hands, his massage is sure to relax you. Surprisingly, with all his weight lifting, he has no significant callous on his palms at all. 

    As Sunji is very muscular and strong physically, his medium pressure can be strong to some people. If you are unable to take medium to strong pressure, do sound it out to Sunji for him to adjust his massage pressure. 

    Sunji executes his massage techniques with classical oil massage, long, deep strokes that relaxes your muscles and mind. With Sunji being part of our community, he is not body shy at all. He will massage every part of your body and not evade your inner thighs and other areas that may be perceived too close to your private parts. 

    From my personal experience with Sunji, his massage is always quite professional with minimal sensuality involved. Some occasional brushes may occur, but it leans towards professionalism rather than sensuality.

    I have read reviews from other sources that, if requested, Sunji is able to deliver a very sensual massage too. Albeit unverified on my end, you can try seeking out Sunji for a sensual massage if your muscles are already relaxed from the many massage sessions we have done. 

    Nearing the end of the massage, Sunji told me that the massage is over and if there was anything I would like to do with him. With Sunji, I always request muscle worship. I double checked with him his on-going tip rate of 2000 Baht before proceeding.

    I will recommend Sunji for people who enjoy strong non-sensual massages with a happy ending possibility. Also, if you are into muscle worshiping of men, Sunji is a very good therapist for your consideration. 

    Do note that my personal experience with Sunji may differ from yours. You may have a better experience than I have had. If you have engaged with Sunji and would like to share your experience with me, please feel free to reach out to me via an email or with a Discord message.
