  • 000. Introduction: History of Massage

    Hello, this is BMM – Sawng. Here is an introduction to History of Massage and what to expect when going to History of Massage for the first time. 

    Introduction

    History of Massage started in 2025 as a massage parlour that has male therapists catering to primarily male customers.

    The management behind History of Massage is the same management for Klover Massages and The Residences at Sala Daeng. However, the therapists for each outlet are unique and cannot work at two different locations at the same time. 

    Reaching History of Massage

    History of Massage is located on the second level of Stadium One mall. 

    To reach Stadium One, you have two options,

    • BTS, then walk, or
    • Taxi / Grab. 

    If you are taking the BTS, alight at National Stadium and walk about 15 minutes with the aid of Google Maps and you will be able to reach Stadium One. Walking in Bangkok, no matter the timing of the day or night, is generally safe.

    Grab is the uber equivalent in Thailand. On the Grab app itself, input Stadium One as the destination. As for taxis, I am not sure if they are aware of the mall name being called Stadium One as it is a relatively new mall compared to other legacy malls in Bangkok, so my suggestion is to take a Grab instead.

    If you are taking Grab, the unpredictability of Bangkok’s traffic will mean that you will have to factor in an additional 50% traveling time on top of what Google Maps suggests. A 20 minute trip on Google Map can materialise into a 30 minute trip easily. 

    Stadium One mall is a huge complex with multiple buildings. History of Massage is located at the main building, where there’s an information counter at level one. Near to the information counter will be a spiral staircase and elevator lobby. Take either the elevator or spiral staircase up to level 2 and walk down the path, passing the toilets to reach History of Massage.

    Sequence of Events

    Step 1: Selection of Therapist(s)

    To select your therapists, you will first need to have the LINE application downloaded onto your mobile phone. LINE is an instant messaging application that is currently the de facto messaging application used by Thais. 


    Once you have downloaded LINE, add History of Massage @history-bkk to your contacts and chat with them. From there, you can see a MENU tab that showcases Therapist Information, Promotion and Location. Click onto Promotion to see the Services provided as well as the therapists available in a Google Photos album.

    From here, you have 2 choices depending on your schedule. If your schedule is limited to one opening of massage, from 60 minutes to 120 minutes. I will suggest you talk to the admin of the History of Massage LINE account and ask who is available on that day and timing. From there, pick someone you find most attractive to go and have a massage with.

    If your schedule is more flexible, I will suggest picking a few therapists from the photo album and then check with the admin, individually, on their availability. From there, you can see whose schedule matches yours the most and pick the best therapist for you.

    In both choices, the admin will check if the therapist of your choice is available at your desired timing. Once confirmed to be available, you will proceed to Step 2.

    Try to use simple and basic English if possible. You do not even need to construct a complete sentence. An example can be, “Sunji free 18 August at 2pm?”

    Step 2: Select a therapy and duration
    Take a look at their menu and select the massage course you want. Personally, I will recommend taking the cheapest massage option, as the basic entry level massage is often good enough. 


    If you are new to the massage industry, there are usually 3 fixed duration for purely massage, 60 minutes, 90 minutes or 120 minutes. This time is inclusive of the time you take for a pre-massage shower and a post-massage shower, and any other time spent in administering the pre or post massage service to you. The time frame serves as a reference for how long you will spend in the shop, not how long the massage service is going to take. If you pick a 60 minute massage that starts at 3pm, you will leave the shop at 4pm with approximately 45 minutes of massage therapy. This is the standard industry practice.

    Personally, I will pick a 90 minute massage session as a 60 minute massage is too rushed for me. I avoid picking 120 minutes as my attention span for massages can typically last for about 90 minutes. Anything more than that, I will be very restless. If you are able to do a 120 minute massage and be able to enjoy it, go for it!

    However, if you are thinking of adding on a scrub, do note that a scrub roughly takes about 20 minutes to complete. If you are thinking of a 60 minute massage with a complete scrub, pick the 90 minutes massage with scrub option.

    Step 3: Make partial payment or full payment

    A deposit of minimum 500 Baht is required to secure your booking. You can alternatively opt to make full payment. At BMM, we always make full payment as we are confident that we will turn up at the time of our reservation.

    Take a screenshot of your payment and send it back to the admin. The admin will then let you know that your booking is confirmed.

    Step 4: Show up for your massage
    Upon entering History of Massage, the receptionist will check with you if you are a walk-in or have a reservation. Just mention the name of the therapist you have reserved and let them complete the administrative work with you. 

    If you made a deposit, now is the time to make the remaining payment. If you have made the full payment earlier, the receptionist will usher you to a seat, then page for your therapist to welcome you.

    Your therapist will also bring along a pair of slippers for you to change into. Once you have changed into the slippers and finished your drink, your therapist will bring you to your massage room for your pre-massage shower.

    This is where I want to share a BMM tip with you. Always arrive 15 minutes earlier before your stipulated appointment timing. The 15 minutes will be used for the receptionist to welcome you, change your footwear and take the pre-massage shower. The therapist will often enter the therapy room at your appointment timing. He will then be able to provide for a longer massage session for you.


    Step 5: Tip your therapist

    Upon the end of the massage, before leaving the therapy room, pass your tips over in cash to your therapist. 

    If you have received a regular massage with no additional service, the minimal tip is 500 Baht. If the massage was good and you really enjoyed it, I would highly recommend tipping more than 500 Baht. I will usually tip 1000 Baht for exceptional massage, with no additional service.

    As History of Massage is a soft-style massage establishment, nearing the end of the massage (or at the start), the therapist may ask if you want any specials. At History of Massage, the therapists are not supposed to suggest the special that they can provide or the tips required for it.

    A basic happy ending will be around 1000 Baht, while a body to body massage will be around 2000 Baht. If the therapist quotes you more than this amount, it is up to you to decide if it is acceptable to you. Negotiate if you want to. If all things fail, you can always default back to the minimum tips for a regular massage. 

  • 000. Introduction: Klover

    Hello, this is BMM – Sawng. Here is an introduction to Klover and what to expect when going to Klover for a massage.

    Introduction
    Klover Massages (“Klover”) started in 2024 as a massage shop that has male therapists catering to primarily male customers. 

    The management behind Klover is also the same management responsible for History of Massage and The Residences at Sala Daeng. However, the therapists are unique to each location and cannot work at two different locations at the same time.

    Reaching Klover

    The most efficient and optimal way to reach Klover is via a Grab. Grab is the uber equivalent in Thailand. On the Grab app itself, Klover Massages can be found as a destination and your driver will drive you straight to the building that Klover is situated in.

    With Klover only accessible via private car or bike, the unpredictability of Bangkok’s traffic will mean that you have to factor in additional 50% traveling time that the Google Map suggests. A 20 minute trip on Google Map will materialise into a 30 minute trip.

    Klover is on the second floor, right above Tops daily. You will be able to see a staircase that leads to the second level at the entrance of Tops daily. That is the staircase you need to take to reach Klover. At the end of the corridor, there are toilets if you need to use them before entering Klover. 


    Sequence of Events

    Step 1: Selection of therapist(s)

    https://klovermassages.com/en

    On Klover’s website, the availability of their therapists are published, accurate to the next upcoming few days. Booking a few days in advance is recommended.

    If your schedule is limited to only one opening for a 60 minutes to 120 minutes massage, I will suggest you check their available therapists and then select one that you find most attractive to you.

    If your schedule is more flexible, I will suggest selecting a few therapists that are attractive to you, then checking their schedule to see if it matches with your schedule. 

    Step 2: Contact the admin of Klover via the LINE application

    Download the LINE application and add @klover to your contacts. Once you have added Klover, chat with them. LINE is an instant messaging application that is currently the de facto messaging application used by Thais.

    The admin (receptionist for the shop) will then liaise with you on your reservation. Let the admin know the therapist of your choice and the time you want your therapy to start. The admin will then check for you if the therapist is available. If he is, you will proceed to Step 3. If not, you will have to either pick another time slot, or another therapist. 


    Try to use simple and basic English if possible. You do not even need to construct a complete sentence. An example can be, “Benten free 18 August at 2pm?”

    Step 3: Select therapy and duration

    Take a look at their menu and select the massage course you want. Personally, I will recommend taking the cheapest massage option, as the basic entry level massage is often good enough. 


    If you are new to the massage industry, there are usually 3 fixed duration for purely massage, 60 minutes, 90 minutes or 120 minutes.

    Step 5: Show up for your massage
    Upon entering Klover, the receptionist will check with you if you are a walk-in or have a reservation. Just mention the name of the therapist you have reserved and let them complete the administrative work with you.

    If you made a deposit, now is the time to make the remaining payment. If you have made the full payment earlier, the receptionist will usher you to a seat, then page for your therapist to welcome you with a cold towel and a welcome drink.

    Your therapist will also bring along a pair of slippers for you to change into. Once you have changed into the slippers and finished your drink, your therapist will bring you to your massage room for your pre-massage shower.

    This is where I want to share a BMM tip with you. Always arrive 15 minutes earlier before your stipulated appointment timing. The 15 minutes will be used for the receptionist to welcome you, change your footwear and take the pre-massage shower. The therapist will often enter the therapy room at your appointment timing.

  • 005. March 2026

    Hello everyone, I (BMM – Sawng) traveled to Bangkok from 16th March 2026 to 26th March 2026, the longest I’ve ever been. Initially, my travel plans were for a 4D3N trip, to support my friend in Bangkok for his Hyrox competition.

    Then, BMM – Kah Moo came to me and asked me if I was willing to extend my trip to 10 days to accompany him and his friend to relax in Bangkok. I agreed! Upon hearing this, BMM – Taeng Mo also wanted to join us, but he was unable to join us for the full duration, so he came for 3 days and 2 nights instead.

    With this many days in Bangkok, I am going to split this blog entry into different categories of places visited as compared to my usual day-by-day write up.

    For this trip, my friends and I visited, 

    • Klover, 
    • History of Massage,
    • The Residences at Sala Daeng,
    • S Sense Massage
    • Maxwell Onsen, 
    • Dream Boys,
    • Jupiter. 

    I was also thinking on how to improve the quality of this website. For the first few review entries, a lot of information is repeated and I would like to consolidate these repeated information into a single entry. Some examples of the repeated information are, where the shop is located, what time to appear for the shop, the flow of business et cetera. 

    I will start by writing this information for the places I visited this trip, under a new category, Introduction.

    BMM – Kah Moo is an active pickleball player and came to Bangkok with a sore thigh. We figured it’ll be best to pause all forms of exercises for these 10 days to let his thigh rest. We initially wanted to hit the gym daily to do cardio exercises but decided to rest this idea for the next trip.

    Massages
    The first massage place that BMM – Kah Moo and I went to was Klover. 

    Klover is one of the first few soft massage shops that I fell in love with. Previously, there were claims that Klover, History of Massage and The Residence at Sala Daeng were under the same management. Now, I can verify that it is true! They are all under the same boss.

    Ever since Klover’s management opened History of Massage, I flocked over to History of Massage as their therapists were more of my type, muscular. With History of Massage situated in Stadium One, a mall that touts itself to be more sports centric, History of Massage decided to hire therapists that are more sporty and muscular in nature. This made Klover specialise in lean twinks / twunks that are generally more boyish and cute in nature, with the occasional muscular hunk.

    With the opening of their third concept, The Residences at Sala Daeng, they shifted most of their hunks and top performers from Klover and History of Massage over. The Residences is now my favourite massage venue out of these three as they have all my favourite therapists in one venue.

    Initially, I thought most of these venues will be visited by tourists. Yet, the bulk of their customers are Thais themselves. We have to thank the Thais for strongly supporting Klover to spawn History of Massage as well as The Residence at Sala Daeng to allow us to indulge in quality massage at reasonable prices.

    For these 3 shops, I will be writing an in-depth review on the procedures and protocols of making reservations, arriving at the venue and what to expect upon arrival.

    As of now, my friends and I have collectively tried these therapists from Klover, 

    • O,
    • Benten,
    • Athen,
    • Daniels, 
    • Benten, 
    • Poom.

    On our to try list for Klover, we have, 

    • Max, 
    • Arco,
    • Gab, 
    • Bass, 
    • Trol, 
    • Coke,
    • Toya,
    • Thann.

    As for History of Massage, we have collectively tried these therapists, 

    • Sunji,
    • Foam,
    • Pachaa.

    On our to try list for History of Massage, we have, 

    • Sato,
    • Ogin, 
    • Changnoi, 
    • Hunt, 
    • Seven,
    • First, 
    • Game,  
    • Moo. 

    For the newly opened The Residence at Sala Daeng, we have collectively tried these therapists, 

    • Tyler,
    • Fame, 
    • Son, 
    • Ford,
    • Zeki,
    • Carl,
    • Yuya.

    These are the therapists we wish to try at The Residence, 

    • Dave, 
    • Captain,
    • Koff,
    • Tana,
    • Theo, 
    • Kigi, 
    • Jone, 
    • Nigel,
    • Steve.

    The attrition rate of therapists for massage places is very high. There are people whom we previously tried that are no longer working in the industry, or have changed establishments to work for. If you have previously seen therapists that used to work for Klover, History of Massage or The Residences, feel free to reach out to us via Email or Discord. We may have information on where they may have shifted to. 


    If you also have tried out the boys on our to try list and would like to share with us your joy of experiencing their massage, feel free to reach out to us too!

    Back to this trip. BMM – Kah Moo had O as his therapist while I had Benten as my therapist. While Kah Moo will not recommend O, I will highly recommend Benten. Benten is easily the top 3 male massage therapists for me in Bangkok. I will write a review for Benten and explain why he is my top 3 therapists in Bangkok, being a close contender to be Number 1 in my mind as of now. 

    After our Klover massage, we decided that another leg massage will help BMM – Kah Moo ease his sore thigh so we decided to go to Wisdom Massage along Silom Road. Wisdom Massage is a concept by Olivia Massage. Olivia Massage is a ubiquitous shop along Silom Road and Surawong Road. For leg massage, most massage establishments do not allow you to pick a therapist. If you are looking for a place with a male therapist for your leg massage, Olivia Massage / Wisdom Massage will be a good choice as they have the highest ratio of male to female therapists. You can definitely request for a male therapist at the counter for any massage shop, but odds of Olivia and Wisdom having male therapists on rotation / stand-by for you will be the highest. 

    Furthermore, the in-house training provided by Olivia / Wisdom Massage is quite good. Most of the therapists have quality service and will provide for a relaxing massage. Of course, there will be chances where you’ll be assigned a therapist that does not match your style of massage, but that is few and rare to come by. 

    BMM – Kah Moo and BMM – Taeng Mo also visited Sabaithai Massage Silom, a competitor of Olivia / Wisdom Massage. The interior design and finishing was not as fancy as Wisdom, but the massage was equally good. BMM – Taeng Mo said that, if you are tired from walking or just want to pass time, you can certainly go in and take a look.

    I did not join them as I was at The Residence at Sala Daeng, repeating a therapist that has entered my top 3 list. I will be writing a review of him. Speaking of The Residence, collectively with BMM – Kah Moo, Kah Moo’s friend and me, we managed to try out 5 therapists. 

    The 5 therapists are as follows,

    • Zeki,
    • Tyler,
    • Ford,
    • Fame,
    • Son.

    Ford and Son was previously from Klover while Zeki was previously from History of Massage. I cannot remember if Fame and Tyler are new hires to The Residences or they were from Klover / History.

    For these 5 therapists, we will be writing reviews on them except for Fame. BMM – Kah Moo fell asleep during the whole massage and could not objectively give me details to write a review on.

    Now, for my personal top three male therapists, 

    • Benten (Klover)
    • Sunji (History of Massage)
    • Son (The Residences)

    For this trip, I did not manage to book Sunji due to scheduling conflicts. However, I will still be writing a review for him based on my multiple previous massage sessions with him. 


    As for BMM – Taeng Mo, his personal top three therapists are, 

    • Yuya (The Residences)
    • Yook (Prestige Massage)
    • Leo (S Sense Massage)


    BMM – Taeng Mo will be backfilling a review for Leo that he tried during the January 2026 trip. He previously also had a massage therapist that he frequented but has since moved on. He is the famous Singha from S Sense Massage. He will also be writing a review about him too!

    And that is all the cumulative massages we did while we were in Bangkok for the 10 days. 

    Onsen
    My Hyrox friend wanted to take a look at Maxwell Onsen so BMM – Kah Moo and I accompanied him to Maxwell Onsen on 20th March 2026, Friday. We went on a Friday as we knew that Maxwell Onsen was running a promotion for Hyrox athletes (free entry) on Saturday and Sunday. That would have made the popular Maxwell Onsen even more crowded. We did not feel like queuing on Saturday. My friend’s Hyrox competition was on Sunday, which meant he could not have gone to Maxwell.

    I will be writing an in-depth introduction to Maxwell Onsen so do stay tuned for that. 


    In Bangkok, Onsen is different from Sauna. Onsen focuses more on cruising, hand or oral action. Most of the action happens in the Steam Room with occasional fun occurring in the Sauna Room.

    The crowd that patrons Maxwell Onsen ranges from model category guys to average blokes.
    As everyone is free to choose anyone they wish to play with, people who are more sexually attractive naturally get more action as compared to people who are average. 

    If you are a person who enjoys watching sexually attractive beautiful male bodies in nude, Maxwell Onsen is a perfect place for you. If you are an average bloke with average figure, the chance of you receiving any form of play with people will be reduced.

    If you are looking for anal action, saunas will be a better bet for you.

    Personally, I did enjoy seeing the nude, muscular bodies around me. I also know that I do not belong to the muscular body type yet, so I did not actively look for people to play with. I just enjoyed the facilities and relaxed myself.

    Maxwell Onsen is really a very relaxing place if you are not looking for any fun too. It always feels good to be comfortable in a gay-friendly environment knowing that everyone there is into males, just like you. You are one of them, and you belong.

    Go Go Bars

    For this trip, we only managed to visit 2 Go Go Bars, Dream Boys and Jupiter. As we went to Dream Boys on a Monday, there were significantly less boys as compared to the weekends. We dropped by Dream Boys at about 9:30PM to take a look at the pre-show boys. At about 10:15PM, they started their first segment of their boys dancing. I could not see any boy that I desired to spend the night with, so we moved on to Jupiter.

    Jupiter is another Go Go Bar that we do not frequent despite having a better show line up. The boys at Jupiter are predominantly straight and only a few boys are gay. I visited Jupiter twice and there were around 25 straight boys as compared to 5 to 6 gay boys.

    Personally, I will prefer to take gay boys to spend the night with. I know some of you prefer straight guys. If you do, Jupiter has very nice, handsome and muscular straight guys for you to choose. I was mesmerized by 2 of their straight boys. One day, I will “off” them for sure. 


    BMM – Taeng Mo’s favourite Go Go boy has shifted his work place to Jupiter and he wanted to “off” him, this was the main reason why we chose to visit Jupiter for this trip.

    On the first day, I managed to “off” someone with the stage name of Rachet. On the second day, I “off-ed” someone with the stage name of Vira. For Jupiter, I am opting to use names as their boys do not wear their number tags like in Dream Boys.

    Rachet was a super strong sailor. He rocked my boat, hard. Very hard. If you like strong sailors, I highly recommend Rachet. However, do note that as Rachet is not Thai, he cannot speak much Thai or English. The language he is most comfortable speaking in is Cambodian.

    As for Vira, I wanted to be the sailor for the night. I tried to rock his boat, but it made him feel uncomfortable as he was not used to being rowed. We tried for a few moments but he chose to tap out. I respected his decision and I sent him off after he showered.

    I will personally recommend Rachet, as he is tall, muscular and super sexually attractive. As for Vira, probably not. 

    Conclusion
    I will be honest and vulnerable with you. There is one major thing that happened in my trip that I have yet to write about. I had the same boy with me for 10 nights, which is why I did not seek out more action. It has since ended. I just want to share with you as a precautionary tale.

    I met this boy on my January 2026 trip and have since requested him to come to my hotel room to be the sailor to my boat. His oar was compatible with my boat and I enjoyed his rowing motion a lot. This led me to wanting to be with him every night on this March trip. 

    In late January, we negotiated a package price for the 10 nights to be spent with me in March. Between January 2026 and March 2026, he kept requesting for small sums of cash advance. This is the first red flag. His poor financial literacy meant that he was always out of cash flow and always needed money. To him, I was exploitable. I was a person who was readily available to give him money. To me, I was uncomfortable pre-paying him for service yet to be rendered.

    I knew, proceeding on, I had to be cautious with him. While we were on this trip together, he continued to ask for both cash advancement and cash gifts. I tried my best to turn down the request of cash gifts and converted them as much as possible to cash advancements.

    On the last day, he requested additional money as a bonus payment. There usually is a sob story involved, but I will not be mentioning it here. On my end, I felt that I was being very fair with his pay package. I gave him a slight mark up of his service rendered for his time, companionship and everything else he did for me.

    The request for additional money, to me, felt like he was trying to take advantage of me. Eventually he halved the sum of money requested and I thought about it. I made the mistake of transferring him the halved sum of money. I thought of it as a “severance package” of some sort, but I should not have done it.

    This is as, shortly after a few days, he requested for a cash gift again. I felt really uncomfortable giving people money as a gift. Afterall, there must be a service rendered or product given to receive compensation. To request for cash gifts is a huge no-no. I did not want to continue this relationship with him anymore. I opted to ghost him.

    After one night, seeing that I ghosted him. He bade farewell to me and left the LINE chat. I felt so much relief from that. I shared this story with many of my BMM friends and they too had similar experiences with boys wanting more than they deserve. 


    If you meet a boy who keeps requesting for cash gifts or advancements, for whatever reason, finish up whatever business you have with him and leave him. They will never be satisfied with what you give / gift them. They are only out for your money.

    It was sad that things ended, but I was relieved and happier that things ended. 

    And… That brings the end of my 10 day trip to Bangkok. Even though I had a small setback monetary wise with this boy, I did find it very fulfilling. I managed to spend 10 nights straight with my best friend, BMM – Kah Moo and we shared many stories and solutions to our individual problems. In life, there are not many chances where you get to spend time overseas, alone, with your best friend and I am happy that I extended my trip for him.

    Stay tuned for my new segment, Introductions as well as the Reviews for the massage boys. My next trip will be happening in end April / early May. If you are in Bangkok during this period of time and will like me to bring you around, please feel free to reach out!

    See you around! 

  • 004.8 Review: Prestige – Yook

    Hello, it is BMM – Taeng Mo again! 

    Shop: Prestige Massage 
    Date: 21 January 2026
    Therapist: Yook
    Massage Course: 120 Minutes Aromatherapy Massage
    Cost: 1490 Baht
    Tips: minimum 200 Baht


    We slotted in a massage at Prestige as we had free time in between our schedules. My shoulders were frozen halfway through this trip and I needed a massage to ease the stiffness. With Prestige being so close to my hotel and having had a good experience with Yook, I decided to find him to ease my stiff shoulders.

    I texted the LINE admin of Prestige to check if Yook was available for a 2 hours massage and he was available immediately. I walked immediately over to Prestige massage and settled all the administrative and payment work with the receptionist and the receptionist paged for Yook to receive me.

    I initially thought that Yook did not remember me, so I asked if he remembered me while we were in the lift. He said yes, and he just woke up from a nap. He was not expecting me to repeat his massage so soon.

    Yook told me to take a quick shower while he went ahead to prepare the oil for the massage. I took a quick rinse and waited for Yook to return. Before the massage session commenced, I informed Yook about my frozen shoulders and asked if he could soothe the pain, or solve the issue. He replied that he will try his best to improve my range of motion by the end of the massage session.

    Yook’s massage deviates from the standard massage procedures. Even if it felt mechanical at times, the variation and the right amount of pressure he applied kept me engaged and relaxed at the same time. 

    When it was the time to work on my frozen shoulder, he did try different techniques and methods with varying strength to ease my frozen shoulder. It was painful, but necessary. A lot of care was given by him to me. I could genuinely feel that he wanted me to recover and regain my mobility.

    I highly recommend anyone who wants a good massage session to try Yook. His photos from the LINE preview does not do him justice. He looks better in real life.

    Also, I booked him for the next day again to continue easing my frozen shoulder. I did not know it was his off day and he chose to change his off day to help me. I did another 2 hours of massage with him and he varied the sequence of his massage. I mentioned that the sequence of the massage was different and he said it is to surprise my body and keep me engaged in the massage session.

    All in all, I am truly grateful for Yook, for being so service orientated. He genuinely wanted to help me recover. I highly recommend anyone who wants a good massage session to try out Yook. Also, his pictures on their website and LINE profile do not do him justice. He looks better in real life.

  • 004.7 Review: Mandel Spa – Markle

    Hello, This is BMM – Taeng Mo

    Shop: Mandel Spa 
    Date: 20 January 2026
    Therapist: Markle
    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Stretching and Aroma Massage|
    Cost: 2000 Baht
    Tips: 1500 Baht (up to you to decide / negotiate)


    On to our next massage adventure. After my previous near death experience to Chill & Bliss, I decided to depart earlier, catering more time for travel. I took a GrabBike to Mandel Spa and it was a smooth ride. I was early and waited for BMM – Sawng outside Mandel Spa.

    We both entered the shop after BMM – Sawng arrived. The admin seated us at the reception area and paged for our therapists, Markle and Platoo. There are only a selected few therapists that do stretching so make sure you check before booking the right therapist for the right massage. You can make reservations on the LINE app or through their website. I chose Markle due to the promotional videos uploaded on Mandel Spa’s website.

    After confirming our massage course and making payment, we proceeded to our individual rooms. Markle is around 170cm, muscular. He was in compression wear and his muscles were budging through the compression wear. Markle’s English is good so you will not have to worry about any language barrier. 


    Markle passed me a buzzer to press upon the completion of my shower. I was also requested to change into a stretching uniform. The stretching session is very fun, almost akin to a physical training or yoga session. As someone who used to dance, I was more flexible than most other clients that Markle has had and he noticed it. He was surprised that I was able to stretch way deeper despite my body size. Markle was exclaiming through the session, praising my pose and flexibility.

    Things definitely got heated up with the assisted stretching. I had to control myself without doing anything crazy because I really needed the stretch. 

    After stretching, Markle asked me to take a quick shower while he prepared the massage table for the oil massage. His massage pressure was strong and he is skillful. When he massaged my hamstrings and glutes, there was a hint of tease with sensuality. It was thrilling to me.

    Throughout the session, Markle and I spoke in a mix of both Thai and English. He felt like a friend that I could speak easily to, any topic under the Sun. With his constant teasing, I had to ask him if he did body to body massage. He said yes and we did body to body massage. The body to body massage was standard and with the limited remaining time left, we made do and quickly finished our business.

    It was a great experience to be stretched in a massage parlour, certainly something that I was not expecting. I will definitely repeat Markle again if given the chance.

  • 004.6 Review: Mandel Spa – Platoo

    Hello, this is BMM – Sawng. 

    Shop: Mandel Spa 
    Date: 20 January 2026
    Therapist: Platoo
    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Sports Massage
    Cost: 1550 Baht
    Tips: 1000 Baht


    Mandel Spa has 3 locations, Lat Phrao 91 branch, Sukhonthasawat branch, and Thong Lor branch. The Mandel Spa that BMM – Taeng Mo and I visited was the one at Thong Lor. 

    Getting to Mandel Spa’s Thong Lor branch can be challenging as it is quite a walk from the nearest BTS train station of Thong Lor. Personally, I will recommend taking a Grab to Mandel Spa from your place of departure rather than taking a train to Thong Lor station then getting a grab bike. The traffic around Thong Lor station is quite bad and there is no significant pick-up / drop-off point around the station for you and your driver to identify each other. 


    Do factor in more time to reach Thong Lor. 

    Upon arrival in Mandel Spa, BMM – Taeng Mo and I were seated at the reception area where we were made to choose our oils and complete our payment for our massage course. Markle came down for Taeng Mo and Platoo came for me. I chose Platoo as I wanted a strong sports massage.

    There was an option of 90 minutes or 120 minutes of sports massage therapy. I opted for 90 minutes as my attention span for massages is typically around 90 minutes too. Anything more than that, I will get bored.

    Platoo is a very tall man standing at above 180cm. He has a very fair skin complexion and a very nice smile.

    Platoo’s massage technique is strong, confident and intentional. He ensured that every stroke released the tension and aches in my muscles. As the massage was executed so professionally without any sensuality at all, when it came time for any special, I declined. It was indeed a shame that I did not get to see Platoo’s body because the images on Mandel’s Spa website were alluring.

    Will I repeat Platoo again if I want a professional sports massage that will ease my muscle aches? Yes. 

    Will I repeat Platoo again for other massages to try out if he will be sensual in those massages? No.

  • 004.5 Review: Chill & Bliss – Harn

    Hello! It’s me – BMM Taeng Mo again. 


    Shop: Chill & Bliss 
    Date: January 2026
    Therapist: Harn
    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Kasai 
    Cost: 1800 Baht
    Tips: 1000 Baht (minimum)

    Chill & Bliss is situated at Thong Lor. The traffic in Thong Lor is horrible. I took a GrabWin and the bike ride was long. My life flashed before my eyes when my Grab driver decided to ride between two buses.

    I got to know Chill & Bliss via a YouTuber who had recommended their Kasai Massage. It is a traditional Thai manhood massage. I had never done it before so I decided to give it a try.

    Upon reaching Chill & Bliss, I was asked to sit at the reception area. After selecting the oil, the admin boy brought me up to the room after payment. My therapist was yet to be seen. The admin boy asked me to take a shower and informed me that my therapist would be coming soon. 

    After showering,Harn appeared. Harn is about 175cm with tanned skin. He did not speak much to me, in Thai or English. His massage was a little mechanical. He started working on my back, glutes, and legs. He focuses more on the back and glutes.

    One con of Chill & Bliss is that when you lie down on your belly, your face rests on a pillow, which forces your head to tilt sideways. This makes the experience a tad uncomfortable. After working on the back of my body, he requested that I flipped over. He then commenced the Kasai portion of the massage.

    To be honest, I thought the Kasai massage was a glorified happy ending. However, the way Harn pulled, tugged and pressed my manhood made it felt different. At one point, it even ached. He did massage some pressure points near my upper groin which resulted in some aches. Yet, when he released his strokes, I could feel the blood circulating towards the region more effectively.

    Overall, it is an interesting experience. I would like to try Kasai massage again, but probably with another therapist. This is as Harn looked disengaged throughout the whole session, giving me the perception that he just wanted to end the massage as soon as possible.

    Hopefully, if you choose to engage Harn, you’ll have better mileage than I have had.

    Cheers,

  • 004.4 Review: S Sense – Mai

    Hello, this is BMM – Sawng. 

    Shop: S’Sense Massage 
    Date: 19 January 2026
    Therapist: Mai
    Massage Course: 120 Minutes Oil Aromatherapy
    Cost: 1450 Baht
    Tips: 2000 Baht


    I went to S’Sense with BMM – Taeng Mo. 

    S’Sense is located at Suan Plu, far from any public train system. To reach S’Sense, the easiest way is to either order a GrabCar or GrabBike. If you are shy about putting S’Sense into your Grab app, feel free to input it as Bartel’s Cafe at Suan Plu instead. Bartel’s Cafe is a short walking distance from S’Sense.

    I will highly recommend arranging for an appointment with your preferred therapist over LINE instead of walking-in. In the S’Sense LINE account, you can take a look at their available therapist. Mai is a freelance massage therapist for S’Sense and he was recently featured in a YouTube video. As such, I can foresee his availability to be limited. It will be wise to check his availability with S’Sense LINE’s admin and make an appointment with him. 

    S’Sense highly recommends 2 hour massages as their therapists are all trained to execute their massages in 2 hour duration. I wanted to ask for 90 minutes, but gave in to their suggestion of 2 hours. Personally, I still felt that the 2 hour massage duration was a bit too long and 90 minutes would be excellent for my attention span. 

    Mai is slightly shorter than 170cm with a fair skin tone. He is handsome and has an excellent body. His smile is radiant and captivating. If you do not speak Thai, do not worry. Mai’s command of English is pretty good, not to fluent native standard, but good enough to have conversation with.

    Mai started his massage with me lying face down on the massage bed. His massage strength was medium and the techniques used really relaxed me and made me enjoy the massage.

    After I flipped over, I waited for him to check with me if I wanted any specials. I asked for body to body massage and we eventually agreed upon the average market rate of 2000 Baht. His body to body massage was legitimate body to body massage. He will oil up his muscular, lean body and rub it against your body and his techniques are good.

    Throughout the whole session, Mai was really professional and delivered a good relaxing massage.

    Despite writing a good review for Mai, I feel like perhaps Mai and my chemistry had a little mismatch. We could not connect on a level that would make me feel excited about the special. Perhaps the massage was too comfortable that placed me in a peaceful, zen mode, not craving for anything more. I think I will not repeat Mai again.

    However, if you do want to try S’Sense and Mai is your type, please do feel free to give him a try. If your experience was much better than mine and you would like to share it with me, feel free to reach out to me via email or Discord.

  • 004.3 Review: S Sense – Big

    Hello, this is BMM – Taeng Mo. 

    Shop: S’Sense Massage 
    Date: 19 January 2026
    Therapist: Big
    Massage Course: 120 Minutes Oil Aromatherapy
    Cost: 1450 Baht
    Tips: 2000 Baht


    BMM – Sawng and I decided to come to S’Sense Massage and we have both been here a couple of times. It is located in the heart of Suan Plu area, with little tourists around except for the Bartel’s Cafe nearby. The tuna sandwich at Bartel’s is the chef’s kiss! I’ll highly recommend you having it either before or after the massage depending on what time your massage appointment is.

    Getting to S’Sense Massage is slightly challenging by public transit. I will highly recommend calling a GrabBike or GrabCar to reach S’Sense. 

    Usually, my to-go therapist is Singha. However, he is unavailable today. With his recommendation, I chose Big instead. Upon reaching S’Sense, I was received by Leo, another therapist working at S’Sense. He is very cute. 🙂 I look forward to trying out his skills next time.

    After all the administrative work and payment was done, I chose my oil scent and was brought to my room. It has been 2 years since my last visit and I am very happy to see that S’Sense has expanded their spa premises to more than just 1 building. 

    Big knew that I could speak Thai so he spoke minimal English with me. He asked me to take a shower while he prepared the oil. Upon finishing my shower, he re-entered the room and asked me to lie face down and began the massage.

    Big’s massage is truly impressive. His technique is executed confidently, with well-controlled pressure in a steady rhythm. His strong hands surely came with years of experience, as his strokes felt purposely and relaxing.

    Upon flipping over, Big asked me if I wanted “piset”, which means special in Thai. I looked at him and nodded.

    At this point, usually the therapists will give you various options and the tips amount that correspond to those options.

    Having known that I am a regular at S’Sense, he immediately proceeded to execute body to body massage. The body to body massage lasted for approximately 30 minutes out of the 2 hour session. 

    I felt completely at ease throughout the session. Big maintained a calm, professional outlook with me. He ensured that his pressure is suitable and comfortable through the massage. My body felt looser, lighter, and deeply relaxed after the massage.

    Big’s massage was good and I will definitely repeat it again. 

  • 004.2 Review: History of Massage – Yuya

    Note: Yuya has since moved to The Residence at Sala Daeng

    Hello, this is BMM – Taeng Mo.

    Shop: History of Massage
    Date: 26 January 2026
    Therapist: Yuya
    Massage Course: 90 Minutes Oil Aromatherapy
    Cost: 1490 Baht
    Tips: 500 Baht (minimum)

    To know more about getting to the History of Massage and the preparation for the massage, please refer to our past reviews 🙂 


    Finally reunited with BMM – Sawng for this trip. We had extensive planning because we wanted to try out many new shops. Our first session for the day was History of Massage. I picked Yuya while BMM – Sawng picked Pachaa.

    We reserved our therapist and paid the massage course fees in advance. Upon entering History of Massage, we were seated down at the reception. Pachaa came out to pick BMM – Sawng up first while I continued to wait for Yuya.

    When Yuya came out to greet me, I was charmed by his gorgeous smile. He is slightly shorter than 170cm but his muscular frame made up for it. His biceps were bulging out of his sleeves and the shirt could barely contain all the muscles he had. 


    Yuya’s command of English was quite limited so I conversed with him with my minimal Thai. Yuya asked me to take a shower while he proceeded to get the massage essentials ready. Upon returning, he passed me a bottle of water and made some final adjustments to the massage bed. I climbed onto the bed, anticipating a good massage by a strong man. 

    Yuya’s strokes were consistent and balanced, with medium pressure. As someone who prefers a stronger massage, I will definitely consider asking him to go harder on me. Before coming to Bangkok, I had some shoulder and lower back pain. Yuya was able to relieve them for me.

    While Yuya was massaging me, I challenged my Thai ability by speaking to him in Thai throughout the whole session. He was warm, friendly and very pleasant to speak to. After my session with him, Yuya cleaned the oil up from my body and I took a shower.

    With Yuya’s massage, I felt relaxed. It was a good experience and I will certainly repeat Yuya again.
